If there's anything that brings me to tears
or puts my soul to shame, it is
when I see children, mothers, fathers, elders in
Gaza look at the camera and say, where
are the Muslims?
They used to say, where are the Arabs?
And they could ask that, and I'm not
Arab, so they're not speaking to me.
They're speaking to two-thirds of you.
Now they consistently, they may still say, where
are the Arabs?
But they consistently say, where are the Arabs?
Where are the Muslims?
And so my question for you is, it's
a simple one, but it's for you.
Are you a Muslim?
Where are you?
Where am I?
Are we Muslims?
And when those children or elders look into
the camera and say, where are the Muslims?
Do you accept that they're speaking to me
and you?
Are you a Muslim?
