This prompted Sanders—who has been criticized by Palestine defenders for his early refusal to endorse a cease-fire in Gaza as Israel launched its genocidal assault there and, later, by Israel backers for introducing legislation to ban U.S arms sales to the key ally—to declare that Israel "has the right to defend itself" but "does not have the right to wage all-out war against the Palestinian people." The video's narrator, pointing to reporting that Sanders' rallies are "pissing off" Musk, said that "Elon is so desperate to try and discredit this grassroots movement" that "instead of facing the reality that working-class people are fed up with billionaires like him, Musk decides to claim the crowd was full of paid protesters." "But from the bottom of my heart—and I've been to every state in this country; I don't care whether you're Republican, Democrat, or Independent—the people of this country do not want oligarchy, they do not want authoritarianism, and they want a government that works for all of us, not just the 1%," Sanders added.
