The speaker questions the actions taken to stop the Israeli army's alleged genocide of Palestinian civilians and the support given to the mayor. They mention the death toll caused by both Hamas and Israeli attacks and ask what is being done to stop the ongoing killing of civilians. They request the US government to call for a ceasefire meeting and express belief in the power to make it happen.

I grew up as an Orthodox Jew and a Zionist, with a strong connection to Israel. However, I believe that the current Israeli government is exploiting the guilt of the Holocaust to justify their mistreatment of Palestinians. The Israeli army spokesperson's response to the killing of Palestinians was reminiscent of Nazi ideology. It's important to note that Israel was born out of Jewish terrorism, and the government's refusal to negotiate with Hamas has had dire consequences. Military means cannot solve the issue, as there are millions of Palestinians who are treated poorly by Israel. It's time for our government to take a stand and impose sanctions on Israel for their unacceptable conduct.

I saw disturbing videos and images of Palestinian suffering, including bodies on bulldozers and tanks, children in hospitals, and a baby starved to death. Israel's bombings and lies are killing civilians. The situation is dystopian, like the Hunger Games. I feel intense hatred towards those responsible, especially since my tax dollars fund this. It's a horrific time in history, and feeling insane is a sign of being human and recognizing the awful reality.

Israel is bombing Gaza and has killed over 2,750 civilians, including 1,030 children. They have imposed an illegal blockade, denying access to electricity, food, construction materials, and fuel. They have even enforced a blackout to hide the atrocities. The president, whom you recently met, supports this war and claims there are no laws governing it. He believes no civilian is safe until all are guilty. Madam President, you cannot support this in the name of this parliament. We must discuss this grave situation, which is a holocaust for the Palestinian people. We cannot have moments of silence for victims and lives lost, especially not for Palestinians.

I know war, and what’s happening in Palestine is not a war; it’s genocide and ethnic cleansing aimed at taking land from a specific people. This is fundamentally wrong. As an American and a patriot, I feel compelled to speak out against this injustice. The fact that US taxpayers are funding this situation adds to the frustration. We must put an end to this.

In Gaza, the situation is dire. Four Palestinian children are killed every hour, and every 15 minutes a child loses their life. The death toll for Palestinians is rising rapidly, with at least 10 killed in just this hour. Many more are losing their homes, leaving them without shelter. Emotionally, it's a catastrophe that demands our attention. As an Israeli, I am deeply ashamed and disturbed by the violence. It feels as though killing children and adults has become acceptable, and it's disheartening to see so many remain indifferent.

I'm here today because I'm Jewish and Israeli, with parents who survived the Holocaust. I oppose the British government's support for Israel, considering it as genocide. The media, including the BBC, is also seen as supporting this immoral and illegal act. Many people in Britain are against it, including Jews like myself. This issue has been ongoing since 1948 when numerous Palestinian villages were destroyed, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the creation of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees.

I grew up in a Jewish family in America, and I have family who were killed by Nazis. When we said "never again," it meant never again for everyone, including the Palestinians. It's disgusting to hear Israel use dehumanizing language and kill civilians. My heart goes out to Palestine. I hope they can be free and live prosperous lives. We, as Jewish people, also stand with Palestine and wish for a free Palestine. It's not about religion, but about a nation being killed by Zionists. The Nakba never ended; it's an ongoing ethnic cleansing. Gaza is like a concentration camp, with most people living in misery and destruction. They deserve freedom and self-determination. To the people in Gaza, it's hard to imagine what you've been through, and I understand the anger. Thank you for standing for humanity.

In an open air prison, 2.2 million people, including many children, are suffering. They lack basic necessities like food, water, electricity, and fuel. They are being bombed and attacked with white phosphorus. This situation is akin to genocide. As Jewish New Yorkers, we strongly oppose this and declare that it is not happening in our name.

Your Palestine pathway program includes two Israeli budget bills. If you truly support the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, how can you justify this? I come from Gaza, and it is a part of all of us. I apologize for expressing this, but I feel compelled to speak out. I am proud to be here and to discuss the ongoing situation in my city, which is unfolding every moment.

There is no other solution but a ceasefire. It is impossible to justify fighting terrorism by killing innocent people. Today, civilians, including babies, women, and the elderly, are being bombed. There is no reason or legitimacy for this. We urge Israel to stop.

As someone who has experienced the pain of terrorism, including attacks by Hamas, I cannot justify the killing of innocent women and children, especially children. I know firsthand that Israel's actions will not bring an end to this conflict; it will only fuel more resistance. I believe President Biden should not only demand a ceasefire but also reconsider the funding provided to Israel. It is time to start considering alternative approaches.

My parents survived Auschwitz and a German concentration camp. All my family members were killed. I won't stay silent about Israel's crimes against Palestinians. It's wrong to use my family's suffering to justify the torture and demolition of Palestinian homes. I won't be intimidated by tears. If you had any empathy, you would cry for the Palestinians too.

I have witnessed horrific events, including children suffering in Israel. It feels like there's a disregard for veterans and American values, leading to the destruction of our country. This is shameful. I urge you to find the moral courage to act rightly. We need veterans from California to New York to unite against these injustices. Your voices hold immense power.

I was raised as an Orthodox Jew and a Zionist. My parents fled Poland and settled in Britain. The current Israeli government manipulates guilt to justify mistreatment of Palestinians. They prioritize Jewish lives over Palestinian lives. Military force won't solve this issue. Even after the fighting ends, there will still be millions of Palestinians suffering in Gaza and the West Bank. The Israeli government's conduct and policies are unacceptable. Our government should impose a complete arms ban on Israel. We need genuine peace, not conquest, which is the Israelis' unattainable goal. They are not just criminals, but also fools.

Disturbing news from Israel: Hamas is reportedly kidnapping children, putting them in cages, and killing women and the elderly. This is cowardly and unacceptable. It is never okay to harm innocent people, regardless of their background or beliefs. It is especially despicable to use children as human shields. Politicians who remain silent and those who support Black Lives Matter but stay quiet now are called out. Israel is a place where I have studied, toured, and enjoyed kosher food, and this cowardly behavior is deeply disappointing. My mother and I have no respect for those involved in these actions.

As someone who has experienced the pain and terror of both sides, I cannot justify the killing of innocent women and children, especially children. I know firsthand that Israel's actions will not bring an end to this conflict; instead, they will only make it worse and fuel more resistance. In my opinion, President Biden should defund the financial support given to Israel and not just call for a cease-fire, but also start considering other approaches.

Our family, survivors of the Holocaust, are addressing President Biden on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We urge him to end the Israeli government's genocide of Palestinians, as we have witnessed the demonization and slaughter of a whole people before. We demand an immediate cease-fire and an end to the supply of weapons to Israel. Our goal is a future where Palestinians and Israelis can live in justice, dignity, safety, and freedom.

War crimes against Palestinians are being committed on an unprecedented scale. We must tell our governments, both American and Israeli, that enough is enough. The bombardment, siege, and occupation must end. Palestinians have been denied their basic human rights, dignity, and freedom for too long. We will continue to fight for justice and a free Palestine.

My name is Alan Shbarrow, a former Special Forces member. I condemn the actions in Palestine as inhumane, genocidal, and unjust. The US funding of this conflict is troubling. It must end. Please take action to stop this injustice.

President Biden, Mr. Blinken, European leaders, can you hear us? We plead for your attention amidst the chaos. Innocent people, seeking refuge, are being bombarded by Israeli forces inside hospitals. These sanctuaries of humanity are under attack. We implore you to put an end to this violence. Your silence makes you complicit.

As a child of Holocaust survivors, I strongly believe in the principle of "never again." The current situation in Gaza is deeply troubling. It's important to understand that the conflict didn't start with Hamas, but rather with the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians in 1948 to establish the Jewish state. These people were relocated to Gaza, and now they are being targeted for elimination or forced relocation. This must stop. American Jews need to speak out and say that this is not happening in our name or with our tax money. We cannot allow this genocide to continue before our eyes.

My name is Alan Spero, a former member of the 3rd Special Forces Group. I condemn the actions in Palestine as inhumane, genocidal, and unjust. The US taxpayer funds this, making it even more troubling. This must end. Take action now. Translation: Alan Spero, a former member of the 3rd Special Forces Group, denounces the atrocities in Palestine as inhumane, genocidal, and unjust. The fact that American taxpayers support this makes it even more distressing. It must be stopped. Take action now.

Our family, survivors of the Holocaust, implore President Biden to take action. We have witnessed the Israeli government committing genocide against Palestinians, reminiscent of the horrors we endured. We urge an immediate ceasefire and an end to the provision of weapons to Israel. Let us create a future where Palestinians and Israelis can live with justice, dignity, safety, and freedom.

President Biden, Mr. Blinken, European leaders, can you hear me? Innocent people, seeking refuge, are being bombed by Israeli forces inside hospitals. These hospitals are meant to be safe havens. When will you put an end to this? You are all complicit.
