Here it is, my keynote address at the American Federation of Ramallah Palestine Convention in Jacksonville, Florida. The event was lovely. This is a Christian Palestinian organization that is focused on maintaining Palestinian culture within the diaspora in the US. They have numerous cultural events, tours, and annual gatherings. This is the organization that invited me as well as 6 others to tour the Holy Land in October of 2019. My group included three clergy members, two medical professionals, and an educator. The trip was incredible and educational. We visited holy sites of all three Abrahamic religions, swam in the Dead Sea, and rode camels. We visited Tel Aviv and stayed in Jeruselum and Ramallah. We visited numerous Palestinian art and music centers and ate the most delicious food. And of course, as we toured, we witnessed the occupation first hand. It was shocking and humbling. Forever changing. I am grateful I was asked to go on this trip. I was later asked to be the keynote speaker at their annual convention. I'm sorry the quality isn't the greatest, I had one of the attendees film it for me on their phone.

In a perfect world, they would show this podcast in front of the UN General Assembly.
The following ,at least for me, is of particular note:
Nick Cruse is so spot-on regarding Kaja Katlas from the 45 min to the 1hr mark:
At 45:35 - "[Kaja Katlas] is the perfect representation of the moral intellectual rot of the West."
At 57:30 - "This is what happened when you're educated by elite academia."
Which corresponds to what Colonial Douglas MacGregor said on a Kim Iverson podcast a few months ago:
Excellent podcast by Kim Iversen interviewing Colonel Douglas MacGregor
The top institutions should take note of the following(it's so true):
