Like thousands of aid workers, he risked his own life to go to Gaza to spread a bit of hope in a territory that has been devastated since the beginning of the conflict with Israel. In war time, often when the worst atrocities are committed, we must remember those who are ready to sacrifice their lives in the name of humanity and fraternity.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8312670\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I thank Mr. Flickinger for his self-sacrifice and his generosity. May world leaders learn from his courage and his conviction and finally find a solution to this unending and intolerable conflict. </p>",

Flickinger a grandi \u00e0 Saint\u2011Georges, en Beauce, avant de d\u00e9m\u00e9nager \u00e0 Stoneham et de partir vers les \u00c9tats\u2011Unis, o\u00f9 il r\u00e9sidait avec sa conjointe et leur b\u00e9b\u00e9 de 1 an.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8312669\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Il \u00e9tait \u00e0 Gaza pour aider. Il \u00e9tait \u00e0 Gaza, comme des milliers de travailleurs humanitaires, pour semer, au risque de sa vie, un peu d'espoir sur ce territoire d\u00e9vast\u00e9 depuis le d\u00e9but du conflit avec Isra\u00ebl. En temps de guerre, alors que se commettent souvent les pires atrocit\u00e9s, il faut se souvenir de celles et ceux qui sont pr\u00eats \u00e0 sacrifier leur vie au nom de l'humanit\u00e9 et de la fraternit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8312670\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je remercie M. Flickinger de son abn\u00e9gation et de sa g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9. Puissent les dirigeants de la plan\u00e8te tirer enseignement de son courage et de sa conviction, et trouver enfin une solution \u00e0 cet interminable et intol\u00e9rable conflit.</p>"
