Yeah getting policy advice from 11 year olds is probably not super useful. Perhaps Eshoo should share some photos or videos from October 7th to help educate the kids.

Thank you Congresswoman Eshoo for recognizing that the fight against Hamas is an important fight for all of us.

I understand people's revulsion of Hamas, but the attack on Gaza is collective punishment, a war crime. Most of the people dying, starving and homeless had nothing to do with the October 7 attack. The degradation of Hamas's military capability will not end the conflict. Israel and the U.S. must recognize the rights of the Palestinian people.
