Ibrahim Hindy – ROUSING speech at Palestine Rally

			because I love my Palestinian brothers and sisters.
		

			I'm here today, because my prophet taught me that the pain of anyone, this is the pain for all of
us.
		

			I'm here today,
		

			because like all of you, I have faced a spiritual illness, a spiritual fever at the slaughter of
men, women and children.
		

			And I'm here today, because like all of you, I am sick of the hypocrisy. I am sick of the selective
outrage of this country.
		

			This is a country that claims that seeks reconciliation with indigenous people of Turtle Island, who
are ethically crimes, who are killed, who are driven out of their own
		

			land stolen.
		

			The same country stands in support of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people.
		

			It stands in support of the dispossession of their homes and land.
		

			This country gives billions of our taxpayer money
		

			gives billions of our money to the Ukraine to help them fight, a country that annexes their land,
and does not recognize them as a people. And yet this same country
		

			will support the annexation of Palestinian land.
		

			And they will support an entity that refuses to recognize the existence of the Palestinian people.
		

			We see the selective outrage. We see it when they highlight with all sensitivity, the suffering of
Israelis, and we'll ignore the overwhelming suffering of the Palestinian people.
		

			They speak as though Israelis are human and Palestinians are a number.
		

			They tell you, this is all about terrorism.
		

			But they don't tell you about the settler pogroms happening in the West Bank.
		

			They don't tell you about the unknown Palestinians who are routinely kidnapped and shot at point
blank range by settlers.
		

			They don't tell you how the West Bank is controlled
		

			and to cut up into ghettos, controlling even the sidewalk that a Palestinian can walk on.
		

			They don't tell you about the 1000s of Palestinians detained without a charge, including children
sometimes for decades.
		

			And they will brazenly lie to your face. And they will tell you this is because of Hamas.
		

			For 75 years, the Palestinian people have faced extermination, expulsion and exclusion.
		

			For 75 years, the Palestinian people have been ethnically cleansed, and this country dares sell
weapons to those who kill them.
		

			But there is good news. So it's good news. Allah tells us in the Quran, what
		

			was called goblin in
		

			the truth has come and falsehood vanishes, because falsehood is a finishing thing.
		

			Good news is that the mask is falling and the truth is emerging, no matter how far the lies spread,
no matter how many the lies are, no matter how deep the lies go, the truth will come and the
falsehood will vanish.
		

			The good news is we are seeing today the answer of the cries and the prayer of the Palestinian
children. It's being answered and people like you. It's being answered. And an entire generation
that is seeing through the lies.
		

			We are seeing a generation of people
		

			For saying enough, we are seeing a generation of people doing what our Prophet sallallahu Ana, you
will send them taught us to do. Speak the truth, even if it's better.
		

			To speak the truth, even if your voice shakes.
		

			Speak the truth, even if there's a cost or a consequence.
		

			That's why they're doing everything to steal your voice. That's why they're doing everything to
silence your voice.
		

			That's why they're calling your protest hateful.
		

			That's why they're shadow banning your account.
		

			That's why they're suppressing your boycotts.
		

			They use the language of peace to suffocate the cause for justice.
		

			But the time of truth has come
		

			the truth that our speech will be free
		

			that our protests, our rights.
		

			boycotts are just
		

			no matter no matter what they do, one day there will be a free Palestine
