[0.00 --> 5.50] My name is Josephine Gilbo. I'm a 17-year Army veteran and a former intelligence officer.
[5.50 --> 11.00] I swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
[11.00 --> 23.00] Do not equate Zionism with Judaism. The modern state of Israel is a political entity established in the 20th century and is not mandated in Scripture.
[23.00 --> 33.00] Under this bill anyone including Jews speaking against Zionist actions or the Israeli genocide against Palestinians could be criminalized.
[33.00 --> 43.00] For nearly two decades I believe I was defending freedom including conscious speech and religious liberty if this bill passes those freedoms are at risk at home.
[43.00 --> 46.00] No law you pass can silence the faithful.
[46.00 --> 60.00] No statue can erase the word of God from our hearts if defending the right to worship teach and live by conscious brings persecution or even the threat of death I stand ready as thousands of saints and Christians have before me.
[60.00 --> 70.00] We will not be silence Christians Jews and Muslims saying shoulder to shoulder against Zionist empire and the genocide in Gaza.
