    I want to take you through what Gaza looks like when a hospital is totally overwhelmed. You're getting waves of patients. Who do you prioritize? What do you have to treat them? You got no pain medicine to give the people whose legs have been blown off. Three surgeons all working on one little girl for what, two and a half hours? And she's probably going to lose her right leg, left leg, and her left arm. And she's starting to wake up. Let's get her warm. As a Jewish physician, I knew nothing about Gaza. Like most Americans, I thought everybody out here were nothing but terrorists, because that's what I was told. I'm not Israeli. I'm not Palestinian. I'm not Christian. I'm not Muslim. I'm not Jewish. I don't really have any connection to it. But as an American, I just don't want my government involved in crimes. I'm a Palestinian. I'm not a spokesperson. I'm a human being. I'm a U.S. doctor who wants to see babies like my babies not be killed anymore. What surprised me most was how the carnage was focused on journalists, healthcare workers, and children.

I couldn't go to Falafel. I got rejected. And then I come back to the United States and get detained by the Department of Homeland Security. This is what my tax dollars did. What your tax dollars did. What my neighbor's tax dollars did. They have the right to know the truth. the truth. For us, the right one to listen to. He is about fairness and he is about doing the right thing. You know we're not dating, right? You don't have to talk me up this much. I just met her five minutes ago.
