Broadening his scope beyond the United States, Guardiola delivered a powerful monologue on the state of global conflict, specifically describing the situation in Gaza as a "genocide". He expressed deep frustration that despite the prevalence of information and live footage of suffering, the world often chooses to look away.
"Never, ever in the history of humanity have we had the information in front of our eyes watching more clearly than now - genocide in Palestine, what happened in Ukraine, what happened in Russia, what happened all around the world - in Sudan, everywhere,” he said.
"What happened in front of us? Do you want to see it? It's our problems as human beings. It's our problems."
For Guardiola, the issue transcends political allegiance and strikes at the core of basic humanity. He spoke of the visceral pain he feels when viewing images of families destroyed by war. "I cannot imagine how anybody cannot feel that, when you see the images every single day, the fathers, mothers, kids, having what happened, their lives being destroyed and the people cannot feel a little bit of being attached? I'm sorry, I cannot feel it."
