EU’s response to the repeated killing of humanitarian aid workers, journalists and civilians by the Israel Defence Forces in the Gaza Strip (debate)
Madam President, Rafeef Ziadah: Today my body was a televised massacre, a televised massacre to fit in a digital audio and word limits. Don't mention the words apartheid and occupation. This is not political. So I gave them UN resolutions, statistics, we condemn, we deplore, we reject. And these are not equal sides. Occupying and busy. And between that, I count a hundred dead, two hundred dead, a thousand dead, thirty thousand dead. Is there anyone there? Will anyone listen? Today, my body was a televised massacre. And, let me tell you: There is nothing your UN resolutions have done at all about this. We teach life after they have built their settlements and walls of apartheid beyond the last heavens. We Palestinians get up every morning to teach the world life, Lord. A European legislature covered with complicity, indecency and shame ends, without a single concrete action to end Israel's genocide and impunity. I want to thank the citizens mobilized by Palestine. You can be sure that we will continue to fight from the streets and demand justice for Palestine more forcefully.
