A Must-See Speech on Gaza by Chris Hedges
Don't stand with warmongers. Stand with decades-long war reporters.
An informed voice of conscience: this is what this video, from the beginning to the end, is.
Chris Hedges reported from Bosnia, Central America, different parts of the Middle East – including Palestine – and other regions.
His awards – including the Pulitzer Prize – speak for themselves.
But most importantly, he’s a man of integrity. Of morals, values, and principles. Having seen so much war, he can only write and speak about the oppressive systems that enable and promote it.
This speech by Chris is incredible.
It’s extremely dense, informative, engaging, and beautiful.
I wanted to quote every single sentence. So I’ve decided to simply share it here.
He ends his speech with his letter to the children in Gaza.
He ends it in tears, as it’s only appropriate for someone who’s seen what wars do to children and for someone who has a conscience.
I invite you to watch it.
It will undoubtedly create value in your life.
I think it will go down in history. So please watch it now. And then share it widely because we need such informed voices of conscience to be heard everywhere.
Stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
