I know that Arabic words have probably been

00:00:01 --> 00:00:04

made to seem particularly violent to you,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

but the word Nakba is the Arabic word

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

for catastrophe.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

The word intifalba

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

is the Arabic word for uprising.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

The word jihad is the Arabic word for

00:00:14 --> 00:00:14

struggle.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

In order to make way for the Israel

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

that you see today, 100 of thousands of

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

indigenous Palestinians had to be ethnically cleansed.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

A mass displacement,

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

a Nakba. The Nakba is widely recognized by

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

everyone, international organizations, the UN, most countries in

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

the world. In fact, Israeli settlers even brag

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

about it sometimes.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

On the anniversary of the first Nakba,

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

we remember the lives destroyed by the ethno

00:00:44 --> 00:00:44

state of Israel,

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

by the dangerous ethno supremacist ideology of Zionism,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

and by the continued complicity of the United

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

States government at every single level

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

despite you not consenting to your tax dollars

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

being used to fund this atrocity.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

This didn't start on October 7th. This started

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

over 70 years

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

ago. The Nakba is ongoing,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

and the Nakba of 2024

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

is particularly genocide.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

But of course, many Israelis denied that the

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

Nakba ever happened and Zionists are known to

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

deny atrocity after atrocity so long as it

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

doesn't fit their deceptive narrative. Murdering 40,000 people

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

and counting in Gaza,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:24

not their fault.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

Blockading Gaza by land, air, and sea and

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

creating an impossible living situation,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

not their fault. Expanding illegal Israeli settlements under

00:01:34 --> 00:01:38

liberal and conservative administrations and basically causing

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

every remnant of Palestinian

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

land to disappear, not their fault.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:46

Murdering Americans in open sight like Sharina Bo

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

Aqla, Rachel

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

Corey.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

Bombing the USS Liberty,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

also not their fault.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

Mass graves of Palestinians being discovered under Israeli

00:01:58 --> 00:01:58

beaches

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

and the continuing mass graves in Gaza,

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

also not their fault. The sexual abuse of

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

Palestinian prisoners and the

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

testimonies from Israeli soldiers in the past

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

of * Palestinian women in the process of

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

the Nakba,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

not their fault. See, all of this apparently

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

had to be done because God has somehow

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

given these people a right to our land

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

and to our lives, and we completely don't

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

factor into the equation.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

Every Israeli accusation

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

is in fact a confession.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

And the list of the crimes go on

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

and on and on. And who's paying for

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

these crimes?

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

You are.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

As Americans suffer to put food on the

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

table, and as medical debt, student loan debt,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

and financial insecurity

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

increase by the day, the US government continues

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

to send 1,000,000,000 to fund this apartheid regime

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

and to ensure that this genocide continues unimpeded.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

The original lie of Israel is that Palestine

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

was a land without a people for a

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

people without a land. Of course, that's inconvenient

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

to the current narrative because what they don't

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

want you to know is that there was

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

a historical Palestine,

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

over a 1000000 people, a Palestinian culture, Palestinian

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

dress, Palestinian currency,

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

a history, a legacy

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

that our grandparents and our ancestors lived, and

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

they did not carry out an atrocity to

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

deserve the one that has been visited upon

00:03:19 --> 00:03:19

them.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

Over 750,000

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

people expelled from their lands, over 500

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

villages

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

destroyed,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

countless massacres over 7 decades,

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

death and destruction and displacement.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

Every single Palestinian in the world

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

has a similar story. And not only have

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

the Palestinian people been expelled from their lands,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

their voices have been suppressed abroad all because

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

it is so inconvenient

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

to the narrative

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

that Zionism is an innocent connection of the

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

Jewish people to their ancient homelands.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

If you think what you're seeing in Gaza

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

today is new,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

then look no further than the testimonies of

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

Israeli soldiers who have committed this over and

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

over and over again.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

This is not new for the Palestinians.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

The only thing that's new is how quickly

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

the Israeli regime is escalating this genocide.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

Because as the world is waking up,

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

the illegal settler colonial project is looking less

00:04:14 --> 00:04:14

and less promising.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

But one of the greatest miscalculations

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

of Zionists has been and continues to be

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

that Palestinians will eventually forget, that Palestine will

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

be forgotten,

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

that they will move on to their new

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

homes, and they will forget about the homes

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

that they were expelled from. But instead, those

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

that were expelled continued to hold on to

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

the keys of their homes,

00:04:34 --> 00:04:34

they

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

Palestinians.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

And they will not rest and we will

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

not rest until Palestine is free.
