From Fox News: A panelist speaking at the “People’s Conference for Palestine” in Detroit on Friday called the United States “an evil country” and expressed a need to “destroy the idea of America in Americans’ heads.”
Speaking on a panel titled “No Weapons for Genocide: The People Demand an Arms Embargo,” Sachin Peddada, a Ph.D. student in economics and research coordinator at Progressive International, repeatedly ripped on the United States as an “empire” motivated by greed.
In response to a question about how Americans can get more involved, Peddada paraphrased a quote by deceased Palestinian author Bassel al-Araj, saying, “The average American will never understand the plight of the Palestinian person because the state of Israel is a carbon copy of the United States.
“And, therefore, the thing to do is to destroy the idea of America in Americans’ heads so that they can see the humanity of everybody outside the warping of American exceptionalism and imperialism and all these evil things.”
“We have to dismantle this idea of American exceptionalism — of supremacy, of being beyond reproach. It’s important that we normalize criticism as a healthy process and continue to push farther and harder to see how the empire responds to us,” he continued.
They definitely are not here because they love America. Assimilate? Nope, that’s not their plan. https://t.co/qykwWlr1qa

Peddada doubled down, saying again, “We have to destroy the idea of America in our heads, in our neighbors’ heads, in our comrades’ heads, in everybody’s heads in this country.”
“We have to actually present an alternative that is appealing and meaningful to people,” he touted.
Clearly, they’re NOT here because they love America…. https://t.co/Zf11tUMf4s

“We live in an evil country… that doesn’t mean we’re all evil, but it does mean that we have a unique responsibility… we have a unique position here in the heart of the empire to act in solidarity with all of our siblings in Gaza, in the West Bank, all around the world,” Peddada declared.
“The task of decolonization is just as urgent today as it was 50 years ago,” he said.
“We live in an evil country,” he claims. https://t.co/GR6LuIi5wf

Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour also spoke at the event, and told the pro-Palestine activists to carry the Palestinian struggle “into the streets, into the halls of Congress, into the boardrooms, and onto the college campuses.”
Isn’t this inciting violence? https://t.co/sFYvf2nyNS
