The American singer and songwriter, John Legend, criticized the Israeli Occupation for mistreating Palestinians. This came during his appearance Sunday night on “The Mehdi Hasan Show.”

During the interview, Legend told Hasan “When I see what’s happening in Palestine to the Palestinian people, where they are clearly not being able to experience the full rights that they deserve, it’s an extremely unfair difficult life they’re forced to live.”

“It’s not fair, it’s not just.”

Additionally, he called on the US to hold the Israeli Occupation “to a higher standard” in light of them being “the recipient of so much American aid and support and is named one of our stronger allies.”

“What [the Israeli Occupation is] doing to the Palestinian people is not fair and should not be done in our name and with our resources contributing to it,” Legend continued.

During the Palestinian-Israeli Occcupation conflict in May, Legend wrote on Twitter “Palestinian Lives Matter.”
