Transcript of the video:

Elbit Systems is an Israeli company which collaborates in the murder of Palestinians. There is no place in Poland for such things. Israel murders defenseless Palestinian civilians. No place for such cooperation in Poland. It’s like cooperating with Nazi Germany. Warsaw remembers what is genocide; and you come here and represent what?
-
And what do you represent?
-
I represent people who care about defenseless people.
-
Ooh? And what happened of October 7th? Who was kidnapping who? Why don’t they give back those people [the hostages]?
