And I tell you the truth, that most of us at EcoPeace, we are condemned of treason, we are condemned of normalizing with the enemy, and our reputations are smeared.

But also, each one of us has a story of grief and loss.

I live in the West Bank under military occupation, but I stand strong here, calling for peace.

I stand here for my beautiful daughters and for the children of our region.

I stand here for humanity, sanity, freedom and justice.

I stand here for my comrades of peace at EcoPeace Middle East because we know and we believe that we all deserve better.

I invite you all to share our vision.

I invite you all to talk about the peace triangle.

Tell our story that there's people in the Middle East who coexist,

who refuse destruction and the killing and the loss of innocent lives.

Tell the people that in the Middle East, we have people who work together on concrete, bold ideas because we want to move forward.

We deserve peace.

We deserve prosperity.

It matters to you as it matters to us.

We have a shared future.

Our future is entangled, and our survival is shared.

Thank you.
