[0:09](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=9) Therefore, I also condemn these, uh, that you are proposing in the bill and of course I also condemn, uh, the terrorist attacks by Hamas. [0:20](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=20) Uh, but I also condemn— I’ll add a third condemnation verbally— the West’s double standard about whose lives are worth more than others and why we have never heard Representative Esmechet condemn them when questioning the more than seventy-six thousand deaths, civilian killings in the Gaza Strip after October seventh, [0:40](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=40) without recounting the earlier history of per—of, of persecution. [0:43](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=43) I’m not going to give you the floor for an interruption right now. [0:45](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=45) If I’m being referred to, I’m... Perfect. [0:49](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=49) Then I would like, I would like this commission to, instead of reproducing, uh, Islamophobic logic, Islamophobia… [0:59](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=59) No, no, the congresswoman stood up from a Western perspective. [1:03](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=63) Uh, let's see, why are you yelling at me, Leila? [1:06](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=66) Lilia Lemoine. Why are you…? Why do you get so upset when this topic is discussed? [1:13](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=73) Let's see, what are you accusing me of? [1:17](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=77) Here we go again with the antisemitism accusation. [1:19](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=79) Sorry, Madam President. Two years ago. Two years ago, you accused me of being antisemitic in the chamber. [1:28](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=88) Uh, Lilia Lemoine, congresswoman, I'm asking you to show respect, don't accuse me of being antisemitic. [1:32](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=92) I don't know your history, and you don't know mine. [1:34](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=94) Does making a scene work for you? Great. [1:39](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=99) It's my turn to speak. Madam President, could you restore order and let me explain why I'm not going to sign these two bills? [1:45](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=105) You're making your point, Congresswoman. Thank you. [1:47](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=107) Fine. I could have done it in silence, but I prefer to put on the record that, of course, I condemn any execution of political dissidents anywhere in the world, and therefore these as well. [1:58](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=118) And of course I condemn the October 7 attacks. [2:02](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=122) And I want to add, and I'll say it again, a third thing I condemn, which is the double standard in the value of life, which, in any House of Representatives or representative body anywhere in the world, we must all work for peace, for building peace and for being part of the solution, not the conflict, [2:17](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=137) as I've been saying in various forums. I would like, someday, for Congresswoman Esmechet or several of those shouting in the Libertarian bloc right now, Join some project questioning the murder of more than seventy-six thousand civilians in Gaza. [2:34](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=154) They're accusing me of being a terrorist. [2:36](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=156) Terrorist. Sorry, is someone accusing me of being a terrorist? [2:40](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/Fj2ggVYjWRTy/transcript-of-political-debate-on-violence-and-accountability?t=160) Take responsibility, okay?
