In a fiery address delivered with his trademark moral conviction, Green condemned Trump’s rhetoric as dangerously dismissive of what he described as “ethnic cleansing” in Gaza. Referring directly to Trump’s controversial remarks, Green thundered: “Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke, especially when it emanates from the President of the United States.” His denunciation went beyond political critique, framing Trump’s words as a threat to both human dignity and international stability.

But Green’s criticism didn’t stop with Trump. He also took aim at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, arguing that the Prime Minister had failed a moral test by tolerating such rhetoric without challenge. “Knowing the history of his people,” Green said, referencing the centuries of persecution faced by Jewish communities, “to stand there and allow such things to be said is unacceptable.” His remarks suggested that leadership demands not only strength but also historical awareness and moral courage—especially in the face of suffering.

Green further emphasized the global impact of presidential rhetoric, pointing out that even as a former officeholder, Trump’s words still command attention and influence. “The most powerful person in the world,” Green said, “has the ability to perfect what he says.” This statement underscored a broader concern: that inflammatory or careless statements from high-profile figures can normalize injustice and fuel division both at home and abroad.
