Impact of Conflict on Children in Palestine and Lebanon

Whatever I've gone through is nothing compared to

what the children of Palestine and

Lebanon are going through. I think that my answer to that question is just

that instead of talking about myself, what I'd just like to remind everybody

is that today in the West Bank and in Gaza, children are being

killed as we speak here, and no one is talking about it.

And in Lebanon, they just set off a gigantic bomb

that nobody even kn-

these bombs are vaporizing people.

These are-- this is the, the, the rule of law,

the international rule of law has disintegrated with

these wars. And so I think my situation, which

is a complicated one and is positive and negative,

uh, is, is really not the story. I think the story

is, I mean, we have a lot of problems with First

Amendment rights that are not

just me, uh, in the United States, which is, would take a long

time to talk about. But I think that in answer to this, it's just

important to remember that whatever I've gone through is

nothing compared to what the children

of Palestine and Lebanon are going through, and many

other places also. But since you asked me that question,

just that.
