Message of Support for Palestine

As for my second and closing message, it is my wish to seize

this opportunity and, from this platform, address

my words to my brothers in Palestine, Gaza in particular.

By God, I am too insignificant to say these words to you,

but listen, even if it is from one beneath you.

May God honor you and raise your standing.

By God, you are the vanguard of the nation. By God,

the dead are those around the world who watch

and do not lift a finger, while your dead are alive

with their Lord, with their Lord, provided for. And

those standing guard among you, men, women, and children,

are better than all of us. You are the beacon

that guides us toward pride, dignity, and honor.

May God have mercy on our righteous martyrs, whose pure blood

has perfumed the earth. May God protect Palestine

and its valiant people from all harm. Thank you, Mr.

President.

Mr. Chair, as the Danish philosopher.
