I don't think that Israel has any legal or moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon. What happened is that Israel is holding almost 10,000 prisoners, so when the militants in Lebanon or in Gaza take one or two soldiers, Israel looks upon this as a justification for an attack on the civilian population of Lebanon and Gaza. I do not think that's justified, no.

The truth is that it is our attitude towards children that is right, and our attitude towards grown-up people that is wrong.

I think the biggest problem in our country is mass incarceration and the prison-industrial complex.

It's depleting whole generations of people.
