1
00:00:00,944 --> 00:00:02,842
I remember when I first found out

2
00:00:02,866 --> 00:00:04,905
I was going to speak at a TED conference.

3
00:00:04,929 --> 00:00:07,040
I ran across the hall
to one of my classrooms

4
00:00:07,064 --> 00:00:08,493
to inform my students.

5
00:00:08,517 --> 00:00:09,765
"Guess what, guys?

6
00:00:09,789 --> 00:00:11,867
I've been asked to give a TED Talk."

7
00:00:11,891 --> 00:00:13,922
The reaction wasn't one I quite expected.

8
00:00:13,946 --> 00:00:15,404
The whole room went silent.

9
00:00:17,134 --> 00:00:20,094
"A TED Talk? You mean, like the one
you made us watch on grit?

10
00:00:20,118 --> 00:00:23,813
Or the one with the scientist that did
this really awesome thing with robots?"

11
00:00:23,837 --> 00:00:25,003
Muhammad asked.

12
00:00:25,027 --> 00:00:26,448
"Yes, just like that."

13
00:00:27,137 --> 00:00:30,071
"But Coach, those people
are really important and smart."

14
00:00:30,095 --> 00:00:32,172
(Laughter)

15
00:00:32,196 --> 00:00:33,518
"I know that."

16
00:00:34,793 --> 00:00:38,510
"But Coach, why are you speaking?
You hate public speaking."

17
00:00:39,071 --> 00:00:40,580
"I do," I admitted,

18
00:00:42,334 --> 00:00:45,933
"But it's important that I speak about us,
that I speak about your journeys,

19
00:00:45,957 --> 00:00:47,116
about my journey.

20
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:48,409
People need to know."

21
00:00:49,098 --> 00:00:51,811
The students at the all-refugee
school that I founded

22
00:00:51,835 --> 00:00:54,227
decided to end with some
words of encouragement.

23
00:00:54,251 --> 00:00:56,070
"Cool! It better be good, Coach."

24
00:00:56,094 --> 00:00:58,794
(Laughter)

25
00:00:58,818 --> 00:01:02,376
There are 65.3 million people
who have been forcibly displaced

26
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,948
from their homes because
of war or persecution.

27
00:01:06,035 --> 00:01:09,018
The largest number,
11 million, are from Syria.

28
00:01:09,963 --> 00:01:14,322
33,952 people flee their homes daily.

29
00:01:16,846 --> 00:01:20,044
The vast majority remain in refugee camps,

30
00:01:20,068 --> 00:01:24,093
whose conditions cannot be defined
as humane under anyone's definition.

31
00:01:24,686 --> 00:01:29,036
We are participating
in the degradation of humans.

32
00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:34,531
Never have we had numbers this high.

33
00:01:34,555 --> 00:01:37,676
This is the highest number
of refugees since World War II.

34
00:01:38,415 --> 00:01:41,187
Now, let me tell you why this issue
is so important to me.

35
00:01:42,144 --> 00:01:44,894
I am an Arab. I am an immigrant.

36
00:01:46,024 --> 00:01:47,291
I am a Muslim.

37
00:01:48,006 --> 00:01:51,780
I've also spent the last 12 years
of my life working with refugees.

38
00:01:51,804 --> 00:01:53,246
Oh -- and I'm also gay.

39
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:55,170
It makes me really popular these days.

40
00:01:55,194 --> 00:01:57,085
(Laughter)

41
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:59,053
But I am the daughter of a refugee.

42
00:02:00,056 --> 00:02:04,554
My grandmother fled Syria in 1964
during the first Assad regime.

43
00:02:04,578 --> 00:02:08,025
She was three months pregnant
when she packed up a suitcase,

44
00:02:08,049 --> 00:02:11,143
piled in her five children
and drove to neighboring Jordan,

45
00:02:11,167 --> 00:02:14,179
not knowing what the future held
for her and her family.

46
00:02:14,203 --> 00:02:17,840
My grandfather decided to stay,
not believing it was that bad.

47
00:02:18,562 --> 00:02:22,036
He followed her a month later,
after his brothers were tortured

48
00:02:22,060 --> 00:02:24,489
and his factory was taken over
by the government.

49
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:27,233
They rebuilt their lives
starting from scratch

50
00:02:27,257 --> 00:02:30,532
and eventually became independently
wealthy Jordanian citizens.

51
00:02:31,969 --> 00:02:34,462
I was born in Jordan 11 years later.

52
00:02:35,431 --> 00:02:38,741
It was really important to my grandmother
for us to know our history

53
00:02:38,765 --> 00:02:39,919
and our journey.

54
00:02:40,883 --> 00:02:44,500
I was eight years old when she took me
to visit my first refugee camp.

55
00:02:44,524 --> 00:02:45,964
I didn't understand why.

56
00:02:46,636 --> 00:02:48,767
I didn't know why
it was so important to her

57
00:02:48,791 --> 00:02:50,241
for us to go.

58
00:02:50,265 --> 00:02:53,204
I remember walking into the camp
holding her hand,

59
00:02:53,228 --> 00:02:55,197
and her saying, "Go play with the kids,"

60
00:02:55,221 --> 00:02:57,724
while she visited
with the women in the camp.

61
00:02:58,606 --> 00:02:59,818
I didn't want to.

62
00:02:59,842 --> 00:03:01,258
These kids weren't like me.

63
00:03:01,282 --> 00:03:03,060
They were poor. They lived in a camp.

64
00:03:03,084 --> 00:03:04,424
I refused.

65
00:03:04,448 --> 00:03:07,414
She knelt down beside me
and firmly said, "Go.

66
00:03:07,438 --> 00:03:09,592
And don't come back until you've played.

67
00:03:09,616 --> 00:03:11,656
Don't ever think people are beneath you

68
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,979
or that you have nothing
to learn from others."

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,969
I reluctantly went.

70
00:03:15,993 --> 00:03:18,281
I never wanted to disappoint
my grandmother.

71
00:03:19,475 --> 00:03:20,872
I returned a few hours later,

72
00:03:20,896 --> 00:03:25,526
having spent some time playing soccer
with the kids in the camp.

73
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:27,316
We walked out of the camp,

74
00:03:27,340 --> 00:03:30,035
and I was excitedly telling her
what a great time I had

75
00:03:30,059 --> 00:03:31,990
and how fantastic the kids were.

76
00:03:33,175 --> 00:03:35,855
"Haram!" I said in Arabic. "Poor them."

77
00:03:36,648 --> 00:03:39,735
"Haram on us," she said,
using the word's different meaning,

78
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:41,092
that we were sinning.

79
00:03:42,002 --> 00:03:44,375
"Don't feel sorry for them;
believe in them."

80
00:03:46,351 --> 00:03:49,770
It wasn't until I left my country
of origin for the United States

81
00:03:49,794 --> 00:03:51,806
that I realized the impact of her words.

82
00:03:53,187 --> 00:03:56,861
After my college graduation, I applied for
and was granted political asylum,

83
00:03:56,885 --> 00:03:58,977
based on being a member of a social group.

84
00:03:59,710 --> 00:04:01,400
Some people may not realize this,

85
00:04:01,424 --> 00:04:05,090
but you can still get the death penalty
in some countries for being gay.

86
00:04:07,077 --> 00:04:09,121
I had to give up my Jordanian citizenship.

87
00:04:09,145 --> 00:04:11,594
That was the hardest decision
I've ever had to make,

88
00:04:11,618 --> 00:04:12,998
but I had no other choice.

89
00:04:17,387 --> 00:04:18,630
The point is,

90
00:04:19,506 --> 00:04:22,582
when you find yourself choosing
between home and survival,

91
00:04:22,606 --> 00:04:25,438
the question "Where are you from?"
becomes very loaded.

92
00:04:26,772 --> 00:04:30,039
A Syrian woman who I recently met
at a refugee camp in Greece

93
00:04:30,063 --> 00:04:31,331
articulated it best,

94
00:04:31,355 --> 00:04:34,925
when she recalled the exact moment
she realized she had to flee Aleppo.

95
00:04:35,277 --> 00:04:37,535
"I looked out the window
and there was nothing.

96
00:04:37,559 --> 00:04:38,918
It was all rubble.

97
00:04:39,593 --> 00:04:43,385
There were no stores, no streets,
no schools. Everything was gone.

98
00:04:44,006 --> 00:04:46,053
I had been in my apartment for months,

99
00:04:46,077 --> 00:04:49,147
listening to bombs drop
and watching people die.

100
00:04:49,771 --> 00:04:51,834
But I always thought it would get better,

101
00:04:53,028 --> 00:04:55,102
that no one could force me to leave,

102
00:04:55,126 --> 00:04:57,168
no one could take my home away from me.

103
00:04:57,795 --> 00:05:01,067
And I don't know why it was that morning,
but when I looked outside,

104
00:05:01,091 --> 00:05:04,229
I realized if I didn't leave,
my three young children would die.

105
00:05:04,253 --> 00:05:05,642
And so we left.

106
00:05:05,666 --> 00:05:08,670
We left because we had to,
not because we wanted to.

107
00:05:08,694 --> 00:05:10,442
There was no choice," she said.

108
00:05:11,978 --> 00:05:14,256
It's kind of hard to believe
that you belong

109
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:15,744
when you don't have a home,

110
00:05:15,768 --> 00:05:19,774
when your country of origin rejects you
because of fear or persecution,

111
00:05:19,798 --> 00:05:23,702
or the city that you grew up in
is completely destroyed.

112
00:05:24,805 --> 00:05:26,836
I didn't feel like I had a home.

113
00:05:26,860 --> 00:05:29,317
I was no longer a Jordanian citizen,

114
00:05:29,341 --> 00:05:30,973
but I wasn't American, either.

115
00:05:31,643 --> 00:05:33,381
I felt a kind of loneliness

116
00:05:33,405 --> 00:05:35,524
that is still hard
to put into words today.

117
00:05:36,781 --> 00:05:40,064
After college, I desperately needed
to find a place to call home.

118
00:05:40,546 --> 00:05:42,262
I bounced around from state to state

119
00:05:42,286 --> 00:05:44,721
and eventually ended up in North Carolina.

120
00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:46,870
Kindhearted people who felt sorry for me

121
00:05:47,413 --> 00:05:48,747
offered to pay rent

122
00:05:49,405 --> 00:05:52,719
or buy me a meal or a suit
for my new interview.

123
00:05:52,743 --> 00:05:55,766
It just made me feel
more isolated and incapable.

124
00:05:56,481 --> 00:05:58,295
It wasn't until I met Miss Sarah,

125
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:02,055
a Southern Baptist who took me in
at my lowest and gave me a job,

126
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:03,972
that I started to believe in myself.

127
00:06:04,695 --> 00:06:08,492
Miss Sarah owned a diner
in the mountains of North Carolina.

128
00:06:09,856 --> 00:06:12,025
I assumed, because
of my privileged upbringing

129
00:06:12,049 --> 00:06:13,568
and my Seven Sister education,

130
00:06:13,592 --> 00:06:15,796
that she would ask me
to manage the restaurant.

131
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:17,028
I was wrong.

132
00:06:17,972 --> 00:06:19,675
I started off washing dishes,

133
00:06:19,699 --> 00:06:21,678
cleaning toilets and working the grill.

134
00:06:22,247 --> 00:06:25,332
I was humbled; I was shown
the value of hard work.

135
00:06:25,356 --> 00:06:27,966
But most importantly,
I felt valued and embraced.

136
00:06:28,924 --> 00:06:30,804
I celebrated Christmas with her family,

137
00:06:30,828 --> 00:06:33,180
and she attempted to observe
Ramadan with me.

138
00:06:34,236 --> 00:06:36,906
I remember being very nervous
about coming out to her --

139
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:38,972
after all, she was a Southern Baptist.

140
00:06:38,996 --> 00:06:40,456
I sat on the couch next to her

141
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,011
and I said, "Miss Sarah,
you know that I'm gay."

142
00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:45,221
Her response is one
that I will never forget.

143
00:06:45,715 --> 00:06:47,914
"That's fine, honey.
Just don't be a slut."

144
00:06:47,938 --> 00:06:51,110
(Laughter)

145
00:06:51,134 --> 00:06:53,809
(Applause)

146
00:06:53,833 --> 00:06:59,745
I eventually moved to Atlanta,
still trying to find my home.

147
00:07:00,261 --> 00:07:02,640
My journey took a strange turn
three years later,

148
00:07:02,664 --> 00:07:05,897
after I met a group of refugee kids
playing soccer outside.

149
00:07:06,318 --> 00:07:08,858
I'd made a wrong turn
into this apartment complex,

150
00:07:08,882 --> 00:07:11,097
and I saw these kids
outside playing soccer.

151
00:07:11,496 --> 00:07:14,059
They were playing barefoot
with a raggedy soccer ball

152
00:07:14,083 --> 00:07:15,535
and rocks set up as goals.

153
00:07:15,559 --> 00:07:17,259
I watched them for about an hour,

154
00:07:17,283 --> 00:07:18,861
and after that I was smiling.

155
00:07:19,296 --> 00:07:20,883
The boys reminded me of home.

156
00:07:21,368 --> 00:07:23,846
They reminded me of the way
I grew up playing soccer

157
00:07:23,870 --> 00:07:26,500
in the streets of Jordan,
with my brothers and cousins.

158
00:07:27,792 --> 00:07:29,793
I eventually joined their game.

159
00:07:29,817 --> 00:07:32,660
They were a little skeptical
about letting me join it,

160
00:07:32,684 --> 00:07:35,346
because according to them,
girls don't know how to play.

161
00:07:35,370 --> 00:07:36,716
But obviously I did.

162
00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:38,984
I asked them if they had
ever played on a team.

163
00:07:39,008 --> 00:07:41,442
They said they hadn't,
but that they would love to.

164
00:07:41,931 --> 00:07:44,952
I gradually won them over,
and we formed our first team.

165
00:07:45,851 --> 00:07:50,735
This group of kids would give me
a crash course in refugees, poverty

166
00:07:51,997 --> 00:07:53,229
and humanity.

167
00:07:54,375 --> 00:07:57,930
Three brothers from Afghanistan --
Roohullah, Noorullah and Zabiullah --

168
00:07:57,954 --> 00:07:59,578
played a major role in that.

169
00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:03,948
I showed up late to practice one day
to find the field completely deserted.

170
00:08:03,972 --> 00:08:05,153
I was really worried.

171
00:08:05,177 --> 00:08:06,788
My team loved to practice.

172
00:08:06,812 --> 00:08:09,419
It wasn't like them to miss practice.

173
00:08:09,443 --> 00:08:12,531
I got out of my car, and two kids
ran out from behind a dumpster,

174
00:08:12,555 --> 00:08:14,138
waving their hands frantically.

175
00:08:15,095 --> 00:08:17,142
"Coach, Rooh got beat up. He got jumped.

176
00:08:17,166 --> 00:08:18,744
There was blood everywhere."

177
00:08:18,768 --> 00:08:21,223
"What do you mean?
What do you mean he got beat up?"

178
00:08:21,247 --> 00:08:23,320
"These bad kids came
and beat him up, Coach.

179
00:08:23,344 --> 00:08:25,570
Everybody left. They were all scared."

180
00:08:25,594 --> 00:08:28,312
We hopped into my car
and drove over to Rooh's apartment.

181
00:08:28,336 --> 00:08:30,835
I knocked on the door, and Noor opened it.

182
00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:34,341
"Where's Rooh? I need
to talk to him, see if he's OK."

183
00:08:34,365 --> 00:08:37,301
"He's in his room, Coach.
He's refusing to come out."

184
00:08:37,325 --> 00:08:38,492
I knocked on the door.

185
00:08:38,516 --> 00:08:40,942
"Rooh, come on out. I need to talk to you.

186
00:08:40,966 --> 00:08:44,017
I need to see if you're OK
or if we need to go to the hospital."

187
00:08:44,041 --> 00:08:45,192
He came out.

188
00:08:45,216 --> 00:08:47,478
He had a big gash on his head,
a split lip,

189
00:08:48,019 --> 00:08:49,770
and he was physically shaken.

190
00:08:50,514 --> 00:08:51,847
I was looking at him,

191
00:08:51,871 --> 00:08:54,430
and I asked the boys
to call for their mom,

192
00:08:54,454 --> 00:08:56,866
because I needed to go
to the hospital with him.

193
00:08:56,890 --> 00:08:58,197
They called for their mom.

194
00:08:58,608 --> 00:08:59,800
She came out.

195
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:03,818
I had my back turned to her,
and she started screaming in Farsi.

196
00:09:04,577 --> 00:09:06,652
The boys fell to the ground laughing.

197
00:09:06,676 --> 00:09:07,828
I was very confused,

198
00:09:07,852 --> 00:09:09,926
because there was nothing
funny about this.

199
00:09:10,390 --> 00:09:12,390
They explained to me that she said,

200
00:09:12,414 --> 00:09:15,228
"You told me your coach
was a Muslim and a woman."

201
00:09:15,252 --> 00:09:17,621
From behind, I didn't appear
to be either to her.

202
00:09:17,645 --> 00:09:21,278
(Laughter)

203
00:09:21,302 --> 00:09:23,538
"I am Muslim," I said, turning to her.

204
00:09:23,562 --> 00:09:25,493
"Ašhadu ʾan lā ʾilāha ʾilla (A)llāh,"

205
00:09:25,517 --> 00:09:27,886
reciting the Muslim declaration of faith.

206
00:09:28,587 --> 00:09:29,891
Confused,

207
00:09:31,208 --> 00:09:33,198
and perhaps maybe a little bit reassured,

208
00:09:33,222 --> 00:09:34,377
she realized that yes,

209
00:09:34,401 --> 00:09:37,692
I, this American-acting,
shorts-wearing, non-veiled woman,

210
00:09:37,716 --> 00:09:38,906
was indeed a Muslim.

211
00:09:40,166 --> 00:09:42,116
Their family had fled the Taliban.

212
00:09:43,687 --> 00:09:45,391
Hundreds of people in their village

213
00:09:45,415 --> 00:09:46,661
were murdered.

214
00:09:46,685 --> 00:09:48,898
Their father was taken in by the Taliban,

215
00:09:48,922 --> 00:09:52,723
only to return a few months later,
a shell of the man he once was.

216
00:09:54,738 --> 00:09:57,149
The family escaped to Pakistan,

217
00:09:57,173 --> 00:10:00,741
and the two older boys,
age eight and 10 at the time,

218
00:10:00,765 --> 00:10:04,002
wove rugs for 10 hours a day
to provide for their family.

219
00:10:04,926 --> 00:10:08,683
They were so excited when they found out
that they had been approved

220
00:10:08,707 --> 00:10:11,199
to resettle in the United States,

221
00:10:11,223 --> 00:10:14,476
making them the lucky 0.1 percent
who get to do that.

222
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:16,090
They had hit the jackpot.

223
00:10:16,930 --> 00:10:18,500
Their story is not unique.

224
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:22,993
Every refugee family I have worked with
has had some version of this.

225
00:10:23,017 --> 00:10:24,357
I work with kids

226
00:10:25,206 --> 00:10:29,065
who have seen their mothers raped,
their fathers' fingers sliced off.

227
00:10:29,089 --> 00:10:32,044
One kid saw a bullet
put in his grandmother's head,

228
00:10:32,068 --> 00:10:36,106
because she refused to let the rebels
take him to be a child soldier.

229
00:10:37,943 --> 00:10:39,484
Their journeys are haunting.

230
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:45,714
But what I get to see every day
is hope, resilience, determination,

231
00:10:45,738 --> 00:10:46,923
a love of life

232
00:10:46,947 --> 00:10:49,791
and appreciation for being able
to rebuild their lives.

233
00:10:51,607 --> 00:10:53,732
I was at the boys' apartment one night,

234
00:10:53,756 --> 00:10:58,566
when the mom came home
after cleaning 18 hotel rooms in one day.

235
00:10:58,590 --> 00:11:00,883
She sat down, and Noor rubbed her feet,

236
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,754
saying that he was going to take care
of her once he graduated.

237
00:11:04,778 --> 00:11:06,272
She smiled from exhaustion.

238
00:11:06,296 --> 00:11:09,704
"God is good. Life is good.
We are lucky to be here."

239
00:11:11,001 --> 00:11:15,796
In the last two years, we have seen
an escalating anti-refugee sentiment.

240
00:11:16,219 --> 00:11:17,438
It's global.

241
00:11:18,579 --> 00:11:21,823
The numbers continue to grow
because we do nothing to prevent it

242
00:11:21,847 --> 00:11:23,548
and nothing to stop it.

243
00:11:23,572 --> 00:11:27,124
The issue shouldn't be stopping refugees
from coming into our countries.

244
00:11:27,148 --> 00:11:30,136
The issue should be
not forcing them to leave their own.

245
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,595
(Applause)

246
00:11:46,510 --> 00:11:47,835
Sorry.

247
00:11:47,859 --> 00:11:51,787
(Applause)

248
00:11:57,917 --> 00:12:00,442
How much more suffering,

249
00:12:00,466 --> 00:12:02,511
how much more suffering must we take?

250
00:12:03,255 --> 00:12:06,026
How many more people need to be
forced out of their homes

251
00:12:06,050 --> 00:12:07,431
before we say, "Enough!"?

252
00:12:07,455 --> 00:12:08,664
A hundred million?

253
00:12:09,125 --> 00:12:11,951
Not only do we shame,
blame and reject them

254
00:12:13,245 --> 00:12:16,078
for atrocities that they had
absolutely nothing to do with,

255
00:12:17,012 --> 00:12:18,167
we re-traumatize them,

256
00:12:18,191 --> 00:12:21,156
when we're supposed to be welcoming
them into our countries.

257
00:12:23,291 --> 00:12:26,594
We strip them of their dignity
and treat them like criminals.

258
00:12:26,618 --> 00:12:29,324
I had a student in my office
a couple of weeks ago.

259
00:12:29,348 --> 00:12:31,164
She's originally from Iraq.

260
00:12:31,188 --> 00:12:32,627
She broke down crying.

261
00:12:33,595 --> 00:12:35,223
"Why do they hate us?"

262
00:12:35,247 --> 00:12:36,421
"Who hates you?"

263
00:12:36,445 --> 00:12:39,216
"Everyone; everyone hates us
because we are refugees,

264
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,596
because we are Muslim."

265
00:12:42,019 --> 00:12:44,355
In the past, I was able
to reassure my students

266
00:12:44,379 --> 00:12:47,016
that the majority of the world
does not hate refugees.

267
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,425
But this time I couldn't.

268
00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:52,348
I couldn't explain to her why someone
tried to rip off her mother's hijab

269
00:12:52,372 --> 00:12:54,157
when they were grocery shopping,

270
00:12:54,181 --> 00:12:57,425
or why a player on an opposing
team called her a terrorist

271
00:12:57,449 --> 00:12:59,932
and told her to go back
where she came from.

272
00:12:59,956 --> 00:13:01,718
I couldn't reassure her

273
00:13:01,742 --> 00:13:04,081
that her father's ultimate life sacrifice

274
00:13:04,105 --> 00:13:07,225
by serving in the United States
military as an interpreter

275
00:13:07,249 --> 00:13:09,959
would make her more valued
as an American citizen.

276
00:13:11,051 --> 00:13:13,923
We take in so few refugees worldwide.

277
00:13:14,949 --> 00:13:17,635
We resettle less than 0.1 percent.

278
00:13:18,778 --> 00:13:21,978
That 0.1 percent benefits us
more than them.

279
00:13:22,797 --> 00:13:26,583
It dumbfounds me how the word "refugee"
is considered something to be dirty,

280
00:13:26,607 --> 00:13:28,220
something to be ashamed of.

281
00:13:28,244 --> 00:13:30,108
They have nothing to be ashamed of.

282
00:13:33,827 --> 00:13:36,550
We have seen advances
in every aspect of our lives --

283
00:13:36,574 --> 00:13:37,952
except our humanity.

284
00:13:38,523 --> 00:13:42,962
There are 65.3 million people
who have been forced out of their homes

285
00:13:42,986 --> 00:13:44,230
because of war --

286
00:13:44,685 --> 00:13:46,534
the largest number in history.

287
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:49,167
We are the ones who should be ashamed.

288
00:13:49,712 --> 00:13:50,867
Thank you.

289
00:13:50,891 --> 00:13:57,420
(Applause)
