She mentions Gramsci, refers to the Americas as Turtle Island, and her general rhetoric does not sound like something you'd hear from a liberal. I haven't watched any uncut vids of her before this one, and she really comes off like an actual comrade?

She's the "United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories" (huge title)

She gathers facts from on the ground and reports them to the UN. The US fucking hates her and, of course, has tried to smear her as antisemitic. Every time I've ever heard her speak though it's just like when Norm lists facts. Nothing controversial if you're a normal person.

Her tone and language is that of a lawyer as well which seems to appeal more to liberals who pretend to care about such things
