00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			Never
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			in 75 years has the Palestinian cause garnered
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			so much support.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			Never in 75
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			years has the entire globe,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			other than a few countries, come behind Palestine.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			South Africa,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			South Africa, the land of Nelson Mandela.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:27
			South Africa
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			that knows what apartheid is.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			South Africa
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			that's lived through the only official apartheid before
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:37
			Israel,
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			South Africa
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			sued Israel, because it does not and cannot
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			afford to see another apartheid regime.
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			And not only, I don't know if you
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			know this, but Nelson Mandela's grandson
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			accepted Islam. He's a Muslim. He's named himself
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			Mohammad, Nelson Mandela's grandson.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			And Nelson Mandela's grandson
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:03
			visited
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			Palestine and Israel, and he lived through apartheid,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			and his grandson said,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			as somebody who's lived through apartheid,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			I want to say that what I've seen
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			in Palestine
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			is worse than the apartheid
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:18
			I experienced
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			in South Africa. This is coming from somebody
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			who is the grandson
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			of Nelson Mandela.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			SubhanAllah,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			the world really is changing. Ireland,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			and Ireland is another country
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			that has lived through subjugation.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			It has lived through oppression.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:37
			Ireland.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			Ireland
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			has been constantly
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			under state terrorism of England, and they know
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			this for the last 100 of years. The
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			way that the British treated them, the way
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			that they've been treated, the number of people
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			killed, the policies against them, the starvation that
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			took place a 100 years ago, the Irish
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			remember all of these things, and they remember
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			that when they were going through their crises,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			when they were being mistreated, when they were
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			being massacred,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			when innocents were killed constantly,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			they remember
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			the world turned a blind eye towards them.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			The world always placated the superpower that was
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			England. And so Ireland said, enough is enough.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			We will not allow this to happen again.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			And so Ireland stood up and said, we're
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			going to recognize Palestine
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			as a state.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			And Norway and Sweden and other countries and
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			Spain, and they are all countries that are
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			trying to be on the right side of
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			history. They've learned from the past, and they
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			don't want to make the mistakes of previous
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			generations.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			They are all standing up in support of
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			a free Palestine.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			Never before
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52
			have we seen the tide change so much.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			So the future, brothers and sisters, wallahi, it
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			is bright. The future really is bright, and
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			victory is imminent. There's no question about that.
