00:00 I urge the membership to use today's session not to further fan the flames of hate.
00:22 Let me address all those who have in these past few days explained why one should not
00:30 call for a ceasefire.
00:34 How can representatives of states explain how horrible it is that 1,000 Israelis were
00:42 killed and not feel the same outrage when 1,000 Palestinians are now killed every day?
00:58 Why not feel a sense of urgency to end their killing?
01:03 Nothing can justify war crimes, crime against humanity, and genocide.
01:11 Nothing can justify the killing of a single Palestinian child.
01:17 Nothing.
01:19 Nothing at all.
01:22 Why not feel a sense of urgency to end our killing?
01:29 Nothing can, as I said, justify war crimes.
01:34 You are sitting us back 80 years by trying to justify what Israel is doing now.
01:43 How naive one has to be or how hypocritical to pretend they don't know Israel is voluntarily
01:56 killing Palestinian civilians.
02:05 I have seen much footage over the past weeks that will be seared into my mind forever,
02:11 but there is one sight that I keep on seeing when I try to sleep.
02:17 Horrifying.
02:19 Israel is not at war with human beings.
02:22 We are at war with monsters.
02:26 Here is the video.
02:36 My mission distributed and will continue to distribute QR codes with a direct link to
02:42 files where you can see this horror and many other Hamas atrocities.
02:49 I don't have videos to show you.
02:52 We respect the dead too much.
02:55 We respect the pain of their families too much to show videos.
03:00 But check out your mobiles.
03:02 Thousands of videos depicting the abomination, the horror, the inhumanity to which thousands
03:11 of Palestinians are being subjected and have been subjected.
03:17 Israel is making Gaza a perpetual hell on earth.
03:24 The trauma will haunt generations to come.
03:28 Today in New York and the United Nations, I say frankly to the American statesmen who
03:38 are now managing the genocide in Palestine that we do not welcome to expansion of the
03:46 war in the region.
03:48 But I warn if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire.
03:58 It is our home and West Asia is our region.
04:05 We do not compromise with any party and any side.
04:11 And we have no reservation when it comes to our home's security.
04:17 Thank you.
