us genocide in gaza, make sure to join the show through facebook, twitter, only on press tv. ghazza today has become the moral compass of the world. ghazza was hell before october 7th and the world was silent. should we be surprised that their silence now? if you are not appalled by what is happening in ghazza? if you are not shaking to your core, there is something wrong with your human. humanity and if we as
8:07 pm
christians are not outraged by the genocide, by the weaponization of the bible to justify it, there is something wrong with our christian witness, and compromising the credibility of our gospel message. seriously, don't bother celebrating christmas this year, don't bother singing christmas carols about jesus and bethlehem, when you support israel murdering his people. christmas is not about materialism, shopping or exchanging gifts, it's about celebrating the birth of jesus christ and the message that he brought, which is love and peace. where is the peace? where is the peace in his own birthplace? if jesus were born today, he would be born under the rubble, he would be persecuted in his mother's womb, like so many palestinians who've died stillborn because of israeli bombardment. you cannot be a christian and support israel. zianism contradicts all the principles and teachings of christianity, don't kill, don't steal. how come so many people in the west call themselves christians and then they support israel? the closest
8:08 pm
descendants to jesus and his disciples are palestinians, not israeli settlers from ukraine or brooklyn or poland. in the last few months we've seen something i thought i'd... ever witness in my lifetime, a genocide carried out in gaza with the complete connivance of our government and our stinking, spineless opposition. how many people know that bethlehem is a palestinian town in the territories illegally occupied by israel. palestinian christians would normally be getting ready to celebrate the birth of christ in bethlehem. peace, love, hope, etc. not this year. nothing has shown the hypocrisy of our political class and the gap between them and all decent people more than their silence in the face of mass murder. نزلوها صوروها الاهداف وين هذا.
8:09 pm
i returned a few days ago from egypt, on the flight, i wrote a letter to the children of gaza, and i would like to close my talk with this letter. dear child, it is past midnight, i'm flying at hundreds of miles an hour in the darkness, thousands of feet over the atlantic ocean. i'm traveling to egypt, i will go to the border of gaza and raffa. i go
8:10 pm
because of you, you have never been in a plane, you never left gaza, you know only the densely packed streets and alleys, the concrete hovels, you know only the security barriers and fences patrolled by soldiers that surround gaza, planes for you are terrifying, fighter jets, attack helicopters, drones, they circle above you, they drop missile. and bombs defening explosions, the ground shakes, buildings fall, the dead, the screams, the muffled calls for help from beneath the rubble, it does not stop, night
8:11 pm
and day, trapped under the piles of smashed concrete, your playmates, your schoolmates, your neighbors, gone in seconds, you see the chalky faces and limp bodies when they are dug out. i am a reporter. it is my job to see this. you are a child. you should never see this. the stench of death, rotting corpses under the broken concrete. you hold your breath. you cover your mouth with a cloth, you walk faster, your neighborhood has become a graveyard, all that was familiar is gone, you stare in amazement, you wonder where you are, you are afraid, explosion after
8:12 pm
explosion, you cry, you cling to your mother or father, you cover, ears, you see the white light of the missile and wait for the blast, why do they kill children? what did you do? why can't anyone? will you be wounded? will you lose leg or an arm? will you go blind or be in a wheelchair? why were you born? was it for something good? or was it for this? will you grow up? will you be happy? what will it be like without your friends? who will die next? your mother, your father, your brothers
8:13 pm
and sisters, someone you know will be injured soon, someone you know will die soon, at night you lie in the dark on the cold cement floor, the phones are cut, the internet is off, you do not know what is happening, there are flashes of light, there are waves of blast concussions, there are screams, it does not stop, when your father or mother hunts for food or water, you wait, that terrible feeling in your stomach, will they come back, will you see them again, will your tiny home be next, will the bombs find you? are these your last moments on earth? you drink so... dirty water, it makes you very sick, your stomach hurts, you are hungry, the bakeries
8:14 pm
are destroyed, there is no bread, you eat one meal a day, pasta, cucumber, soon, this will seem like feast, you do not play with your soccer ball made of rags, you do not fly your kite made from old newspaper. you have seen foreign reporters, we wear flack jackets with the word press written on them, we have helmets, we have cameras, we drive jeeps, we appear after bombing or shooting, we sit over a coffee for a long time and talk to the adults, then we disappear, we do not usually interview children, but i have done inter when groups of you crowded around us, laughing, pointing, asking us to take your
8:15 pm

8:16 pm
freedom and dignity, when you humiliate and trap them an open air prison, when you kill them as if they were beasts, they become very angry, they do to others what was done to them. i told it over and over, i told it for seven years. few listened, and now this: there are very brave palestinian journalists. 50 of them have been killed since this bombing began. they are heroes. so are the doctors and nurses in your hospitals? so are the un workers, almost a hundred of whom have been killed, so are the ambulance drivers and medics? so... are the rescue parties that lift up the slabs of concrete with their hands, so are the mothers and fathers who
8:17 pm
shield you from the bombs, but we are not there, not this time, we cannot get in, we are locked out, reporters from all over the world are going to the border crossing at rafa, we are going because because we cannot watch this slaughter and do nothing, we are going because hundreds of people are dying a day, including over hundred children. we are going because this genocide must stop. we are going because we have children. like you, precious, innocent, loved, we are going because we want you to live, i hope one day we will meet, you will be adult, i will be an old man, although to you i am already very old. in my dream for you, i will find you
8:18 pm
free and safe and happy. no one will be trying to kill you. you will fly in airplanes filled with people, not bombs. you will not be trapped in a concentration camp. you will see the world. you will grow up and have children. you will become old. you will remember this suffering, but you will know it means you must help others who suffer. this is my hope. "my prayer, we have failed you, this is the awful guilt we carry, we tried, but we did not try hard enough, you will go to rapha, many of us, reporters, we will
8:19 pm
