"I believe I revere the state of Israel. I'm proud to support the state of Israel. I deeply, deeply oppose Bibi Netanyahu's leadership, his opposition to the two-state solution, and deeply oppose how he is indulging the far right as it relates to what's going on in the West Bank."
"I used it [the word apartheid] in the context that I said it and I referenced why. Not the current state. And that is a legitimate concern I have that I share with Tom: that that direction... leads to the full annexation of the West Bank."
"The issue of Bibi is interesting because he's got his own domestic issues. He's trying to stay out of jail, he's got an election coming up, he's potentially on the ropes."
