السيد رئيس الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة،
السيدات والسادة،
تجيء فلسطين اليوم إلى الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة وهي ما تزال تُضمد جِراحها، وتواصل دفن شُهدائها الأحباب من الأطفال والنساء والرجال، ضحايا العدوان الإسرائيلي، وتبحث عن بقايا حياة وسط أنقاض البيوت التي دمرتها القنابل الإسرائيلية في قطاع غزة، فأبادت عائلات بأكملها، برِجالها ونسائها وأطفالها، واغتالت ذكرياتهم وأحلامهم وآمالهم ومستقبلهم، وتوقهم لممارسة الحياة العادية، وللعيش في ظل الحرية والسلام.
