Gunnarsdottir criticized: In my opinion, the so-called “moral cowards” refer to those who refuse to sit down and negotiate to achieve a just and lasting peace and deny people access to humanitarian aid. Gunnarsdottir said that “the suffering of Palestinian civilians” must not be reduced to “background noise”. “Children are still being killed, homes are still being lost, and parents are still trying to keep their children alive.” She said, “We've heard the term 'moral coward' from this podium. In my opinion, the so-called 'moral cowards' refer to those who refuse to sit down and negotiate to achieve a just and lasting peace, those who refuse to allow people in urgent need of relief to receive humanitarian aid, and those who repeatedly violate and disregard international law.”
