Marione Ingram, an 88-year-old Jewish German activist and Holocaust survivor, shares her deep concerns regarding the situation in Gaza. Drawing parallels between her childhood experiences and the current Israeli attacks on Palestinians, she emphasizes the need for peace and condemns the cycle of violence.
Speaking outside the White House during her protest for a Gaza cease-fire, Ingram expresses her dismay over the loss of lives on both sides. While acknowledging the tragic deaths resulting from a Hamas attack in Israel, she echoes UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' observation that such events are not isolated incidents but are rooted in decades of occupation.

Concerned about the suffering of Gaza's children, Ingram shares her visceral reaction to the humanitarian crisis, emphasizing the urgent need for a permanent cease-fire. She calls on Biden to halt weapon sales to Israel and take decisive action to end the violence and alleviate the suffering of innocent civilians.
As the conflict persists, with devastating consequences for Gaza's population, Ingram's voice resonates as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the urgent need for peace and justice.
