Palestine: the Moral Issue of Our Time
Gabor Maté and Chris Hedges on Gaza.
The ongoing Israeli military assault on Gaza is, in my view, one of the worst crimes in human history. For the last year and a half, Israel has carried out a mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and now starvation campaign against a besieged, defenseless population of two million Palestinians.
On May 5th, journalist Chris Hedges and my father Gabor Maté spoke before an audience of 800 people in New York City on “Palestine: the Moral Issue of Our Time,” a fundraiser for the Middle East Children’s Alliance. I gave some introductory remarks, followed by speeches from Chris and Gabor, a two-way discussion between them, and finally questions from the audience. Video and audio below.
(One correction: I misspoke in referring to Gabor surviving “Nazi-occupied Germany.” I meant to say Hungary, his place of birth).
Thank you Arron for all you do and Chris hedges too! ❤️ ❤️
This event was simply fantastic. During the Q and A Gabor exchanged with someone who felt guilty as a survivor of the Gaza holocaust. His answer brought tears to my eyes. As a Quebec intellectual and academic, please note that I am on the same page. Solidairement, Michel
