English Script:
Daizy Gedeon: We have a very important campaign that’s launching on the 24th of November in Sydney. It’s the first time ever that the global Lebanese diaspora has put their hands together to unite under one call to action, which is Hands Off Lebanon. Right now, Lebanese around the world, are furious, crying in pain. They’re suffering because of what’s going on in Lebanon, the damage and destruction being undertaken by Israel upon our land and our people. The people in Lebanon, where I’ve just come from, just a few weeks ago. I landed back in Sydney after living in Beirut for the last nearly three years, experiencing the destruction and the bombing by Israel on Lebanon was horrific and just soul destroying and frightening. Frightening for our people. We are facing an annihilation. It’s a war, a psychological war, as well as a war of military domination. What we’re looking at now, right now, is potentially being annexed and occupied by Israel. And this is why the global diaspora groups across the world from France, United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, South America, the GCC and us here in Australia have decided to launch this campaign and call on all Lebanese in the diaspora in those countries to come out on November 24th and stand up for Lebanon and voice our complete abhorrence at what’s going on and demand that our government here in Australia, for us, the Australian Government, support our right to sovereignty and independence and life without foreign interference. That’s the core of this campaign. My message to the Australian government is to just defend justice and look at international law. We’re not asking for anything other than what you demand for your country, for Australia, what you demand for the Australian citizens. We ask you to defend Lebanon’s rights and the citizens of Lebanon’s rights for their sovereignty and independence. So, we call on everybody to get out there next Sunday. Tell your friends, tell your family. You can afford two hours out of your entire life to show the Australian government, to show the global community that we Lebanese here in Australia, are seriously concerned and demand that action be taken to support Lebanon’s sovereignty. So, we want you to be there from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and make sure you tell everyone you know about it. You can afford two hours of your life to give to Lebanon. This is important.
