Women’s March Leader Tamika Mallory Won’t Say if Israel Has Right to Exist

‘I’m speaking about people who are brutally oppressed’

EXCERPT:

HOOVER: "Is it you view that Israel has a right to exist as a nation?"
MALLORY: "I have said many times that I feel everyone has a right to exist. I feel everyone has a right to exist, I just don't feel that anyone has a right to exist at the disposal of another group."
HOOVER: "In your view, does that include Israelies in Israel?"
MALLORY: "I believe that all people have the right to exist. And that Palestinians are also suffering with a great crisis. And that there are other Jewish scholars who will sit here and say the same. I'm done talking about this."
HOOVER: "OK."
MALLORY: "You can move on." [crosstalk]
HOOVER: "I just son't think it requires scholarly knowledge to be be able to say that Israel has a right to exist."
MALLORY: "It's -- it's -- again, I believe everyone has the right to exist."
