yeah so you know again i was the uh when i announced my campaign uh in fact the new york post broke the story and i talked about the israel bonds and um on december 13th in front of a couple hundred people at the working families party forum i called benjamin netanyahu a war criminal and i said i would divest the entire foreign bond portfolio of tom denapolis i was the only candidate to say that at the time others talked about indexing the foreign bonds which means you still keep them And so it's very important to see how we've campaigned over this campaign cycle, because the consistency on a moral conviction is very, very important.
20:04
And the bonds are very, very clear, which is Tom DiNapoli has politicized the pension fund.
20:09
He says that he doesn't like to do politics in the pension fund.
20:12
But what could be more political than in the entire world of which are 200 plus countries? You would over index and put the vast majority of it in the country, in the state of Israel.
20:21
and that you would do so at a time when Moody's downgraded their bonds, and they're obviously not good financial returns and not good investments.
20:28
And so, and specifically, I actually read the terms of the bonds.

5:48
And on December 13th, in front of a couple hundred people at the Working Families Party Forum, I called Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal.
5:55
And I said I would divest the entire foreign bond portfolio of Tom DiNapoli's.
5:59
I was the only candidate to say that at the time.
