After Losing Nearly 100 Relatives in Gaza, Palestinian American Doctor Refuses to Meet with Blinken

We speak with Dr. Tariq Haddad, a Palestinian American leader who refused to meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken last week in protest of the Biden administration's ongoing support of Israel's bombardment of Gaza. Instead, the doctor wrote a 12-page letter to Blinken admonishing the latter for his role in the deaths of nearly 100 of his family members. I wanted him to see me and see Palestinians as human beings, not as some part of a political game," says Haddad. He shares stories of some of his lost loved ones and condemns U.S. political and military partnership with Israel. I just kept looking for evidence that our government actually cares about the lives of my family, and I saw none."
