Drawing parallels between her childhood experiences and the current Israeli attacks on Palestinians, she emphasizes the need for peace and condemns the cycle of violence.
Speaking outside the White House during her protest for a Gaza cease-fire, Ingram expresses her dismay over the loss of lives on both sides.
