00:00My moral and political commitments guide me to say that the only thing that is appropriate
00:07to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently
00:15happening in Palestine.
00:18The genocide currently occurring is supported politically and militarily by the United States,
00:25is paid for by our tax dollars, and has been live-streamed to our phones for the past 18
00:30months, and that I do not wish to speak only to my own politics today, but to speak for
00:36all people of conscience, all people who feel the moral injury of this atrocity.
00:45And I want to say that I condemn this genocide and complicity in this genocide.
00:52Thank you to the class of 2025, and congratulations.
