That is an evil that the world can't
even fathom, but yet we allow it to
exist. Top of that, what goes against
you so often is your mercy and
compassion. And and we've seen this
since the beginning of the war, you
know, uh October 7th and the horrific
nature of the massacre that was
unfolding before our eyes was
something that I'll never be able to
remove from my mind. the images uh what
Hamas did. But Israel chose not to show
the worst videos. They chose not to
release these horrific uh pictures and
videos to the world because they cared
more about the victims and the families
having to maybe see that than the people
who inflicted these horrible acts of
violence. Now, on the other hand, if you
and I were watching what was happening
in Gaza, for every single person that
was taken into a hospital, there would
be 25 DLSR cameras filming it, shooting
it, retaking it. It was almost as if
they were picking up these children and
to shoot it again because they needed to
get the perfect shot. And they didn't
care about the child in their hands as
much as they cared about getting the
shot, getting back to Wi-Fi, posting it,
and claiming that they're this victim.
And look what's happened to these
children. They don't care about the
children. You know, I watched a video of
um um his name is Motaz or something
like this. Uh he blocked me on
Instagram. He was a a journalist in
Gaza. And I remember
>> that's how you know you're doing the
right thing when they block you on
>> Yeah. Yeah. Cuz I'll go at them on on
social media. And he was holding this
baby in his arm while he was while he
was kind of driving and he was trying to
film. And the baby's head is just
flopping. And I thought to myself,
you are the definition of scum because
you do not care about this innocent
Gazen child who has been born into
jihadism
>> more than you care about getting the
shot and telling a story. Because if you
did, you would put that camera on the
floor. You would hold this child like it
should be held. And you should actually
care about it. But you don't care about
them. You care about getting the shot.
That is an evil that the world can't
even fathom, but yet we allow it to
exist.
