Speaker 0: Hello. My name is Robert Martin, and I'm pretty passionate about human rights and especially those in Palestine, the Palestinian human rights. And before I actually get started, I should make everyone aware that there's nothing significant that brought me to the Palestinian plight. I'm not Jewish. I'm a Palestinian.
I'm not Arab. I'm not Muslim. I'm an atheist who started seeing things that just didn't add up. I started seeing things in the media in the paper always saying that Palestinians were terrorists and also that Israel was always defending itself. And then the last Gaza strike a number of years ago, I started to really read.
I read about what was happening and I reached out to a lot of people in Palestine. People then used to say you've got no idea. You've never been. You've never seen. So I actually went over a number of years ago and was shocked with what I saw.
Absolutely shocked. It came back a different person and vowed to help the Palestinian cause for the rest of my life. I went over again only a few months ago and I thought I knew a lot of it but I was shocked. I was absolutely shocked at what I saw. A number of things that I witnessed, I went to a few refugee camps.
Now the fact that there's refugee camps within Palestine in their own country should alarm Anybody that has any idea or no idea of what's going on because it's not right. I spent time in Adah refugee camp. Adah refugee camp is in Bethlehem, not far from Jerusalem. None of those people can actually go to Jerusalem. They're not allowed to.
Their ID cards don't allow them to go. One particular gentleman I spoke to had a scholarship to go to Jerusalem University. The fact was that He didn't have an idea to get in there, so he snuck in. The university said, how did you get here? He told them the truth.
So automatically, they actually said you can't come, And he can't study in that side of town again. I spoke to so many children in the refugee camps And I was heartbroken heartbroken with what I saw and what I heard. These refugee camps aren't very big. Four out of 7 nights, the IDF will come through Round about 6 AM for this particular camp, 6 AM in the morning.

She was just sitting inside her house, minding her own business. This is where she lives, and they've already taken away all her other land. Now they're blaming the Palestinians for this. The Israeli army is not helping either, as they have limited resources to put out the fire. They want to keep the Palestinians restless, sleepless, and joyless. Some soldiers even come with face paint, as if they're going to war.
