00:00We're standing in front of Murphy Hall, where a UCLA administration sits by and watches

00:06us get brutalized, and watches students get harassed and terrorized by Zionists.

00:12I fear of doxing and surveillance from UCLA PD and also the Systems Dissolution, and our

00:24government gives money to us.

00:32We just wanted to respond to the repressive tactics used against Mahmoud Khalil, who was

00:35a Palestinian student activist at Columbia University.

00:37He was really foundational to their movement, the community really relied on him, he was

00:41one of the lead negotiators during the Gaza Solidarity encampment, and he's been unlawfully

00:45arrested and basically held hostage by ICE.

00:48We want to come out and show our solidarity with them as student organizers, as Palestinian

01:17organizers, but also sort of re-ground this repression that we're facing in the West,

01:22in the contextual reality of the repression that Palestinians on the ground faced from

01:26the Zionist entity.

01:27UCLA watched us at Royce Quad get brutalized by Zionists and police departments, police

01:28forces.

01:29Watched us at Royce Quad get brutalized by Zionists and police departments, police forces.

01:55I mean, I think that the Zionist entity has made clear that they don't plan to change

01:59their violence at all towards the Palestinian community, and they don't actually plan to

02:02return the land.

02:03I mean, we are here for the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea, like

02:06all of it being liberated to Palestinians, and we ground that in the liberation of the

02:09working class globally.

02:11And so, you know, despite the ceasefire has been violated numerous times, it's not being

02:15respected, and the global community need to step up and hold the Zionist entity accountable.

02:29Great, great, great Palestine.
