00:01I want the whole world to know that I'm a human being. At the end, I am not pen on
00:05paper.
00:09I'm not anonymous. I'm a human being created by God.
00:14Our Palestinian colleagues are not here today because the systems we currently exist in don't recognize the value of Palestinian
00:20life.
00:22I'm going to end by some reflections from myself and my colleagues who recently came back from Gaza.
00:28I'm speaking to you today both as a member of civil society and as a health care worker who has
00:34witnessed firsthand the death and destruction inflicted upon the Palestinian people.
00:39We've spent the last 14 months watching as the most live streamed and documented genocide in history has been met
00:46with silence, widespread propaganda campaigns justifying the unjustifiable, silencing and discrediting those who have attempted to expose it.
00:56The precedent that's been set in Gaza, as some of my colleagues here have mentioned earlier, it's going to spread
01:03everywhere throughout the world.
01:04It signals the demise of rule of law. We've already seen it spread to Lebanon and as one volunteer surgeon
01:11said, when I was in Gaza, I felt like it was a prelude to the end of humanity.
01:16If solidarity with your fellow humans is not enough of a reason to act. Think about how this is going
01:21to spill over. This should be frightening for everyone.
