Dareen Abughaida: Okay, we’ll leave it there. Sapir Sluzker Amran, thank you for speaking to us from Tel Aviv and sharing your experiences.
Sapir Sluzker Amran: If I may, just to say, it’s something that it’s important to me to say as an Israeli, as a Jew, we have this command in Judaism: you should not stand over the blood of your neighbor. And for me, I don’t see the Palestinians and the Gazans as my neighbors, I see it as my own people. And I say it with tears, because what happened today, what happened yesterday, do not represent many Israelis and many Jews. I came, my family is Iraqi. They are Iraqi Jews. When I see grandmothers and grandfathers in Gaza begging for food. I see them in my own eyes. And this is not something that…we condemn it and we have to stop it. And this is a moral obligation to fight with our own people, with our own blood, in order to tell them what you’re doing is wrong. We have to stop this war. We cannot let this bloodshed continue. And I’m saying it because I know that I will pay prices talking with you right now. I will pay prices and I am getting threats and death threats and people trying to locate where I live right now in order to attack me because I was there yesterday. But I will keep organize more people in order for them to come and to fight and to tell this is not our Judaism. This is no the society that we have to live in. There are many Israelis that want peace and pursuing peace for us, for our children and for everyone that living in this land, by God, by morale, by love. And it’s important that you will hear our voices and to know that we are doing as much as we can with this horrible government in order to resist. It’s hard. We’re paying prices. I was attacked yesterday and I’m with scars and bruises all over my body. But I did it and I don’t regret it. And I will do it again and again and again because we have to. It’s the least that we can do in order that what’s happening in Gaza, in order to stop this war and to prevent the other one. Thank you.
