A woman describes a woman named Bisan who lost her cats for 60 days and killed them. She says she had no intention of killing them and had just lost them because of a post about wanting to keep three cats alive.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03

I saw a young woman named Bisan that

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

I have grown to just love and admire.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

She said something that just devastated me.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11

She said for 60 days she had kept

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

her three cats alive.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

And she had left her cats in her

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

home only on day 60 for her home

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

to be bombed and her cats to be

00:00:19 --> 00:00:19

killed.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

I've never cried over cats.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

I don't even like cats.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

But how hard must it have been to

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

keep three cats alive for 60 days in

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

the apocalypse?

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

And yet she had done it.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

And I saw nearly a million people that

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

interacted with her post and grieved with her.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

And said, Bisan, I'm sorry about your cats.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:53

And I did a simple survey and asked

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

my followers, how many of you know a

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

Palestinian by name?

00:00:59 --> 00:01:03

And almost 95% of my followers now

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

know someone in Gaza by name.
