The statement involves a political figure speaking at a public event and making comments that reference another political figure's endorsement of certain protests. This constitutes public discourse as it engages with political actions and statements that have implications for public policy and societal values.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement could potentially cause harm by endorsing protests that may be viewed as controversial, depending on the nature and context of the protests. This could exacerbate tensions or misunderstandings. [-1]
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The statement respects the dignity of the individuals involved by not denigrating anyone directly, but it could be seen as divisive depending on the interpretation of the 'pro Hamas protests'.
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement does not explicitly promote understanding or compassion. It aligns with certain political perspectives which might not encourage a balanced view or empathy towards differing viewpoints. [-1]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue. It appears to endorse a particular stance without opening a discussion on the matter. [-1]
5. Principle 5:

   I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.

   There is no indication of acknowledgment or correction of mistakes; the statement is assertive in its support.
6. Principle 6:

   I will use my influence for the betterment of society.

   The use of influence in this statement is questionable as it may polarize rather than unite or improve societal conditions. [-1]
7. Principle 7:

   I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.

   The statement uses a public platform to express a political stance, which is a responsible use of free speech, but it may lack integrity if the endorsement of the protests is controversial or not universally accepted as beneficial.
