I missed the opening speeches due to having to deal with delays getting there. None the less, I did not miss anything else.

00:00I
00:30I want you to chance as long as you can, we are a financial district, we need to chance
00:41before a single, every single else of our being, because what we are witnessing is that
00:47that's not every single finish, from every day, you can't say it's not.
01:00A few women, a few women's kind of people wanting to be around us, everybody, I'm just going
01:11about the death bomb, what's the death bomb, the death bomb, in 1948, over 150,000 Palestinians
01:22were forced to be expelled from their homes.
01:25Shame!
01:26Shame!
01:27My grandparents were forced to be expelled from our ancestral homes in Advent in 1948 and
01:37walked on foot to the Hapta with hands of collectors.
01:42Shame!
01:43Shame!
01:44Shame!
01:45Shame!
01:46The historians shared with countless Muslims in the diaspora all over the world that have
01:51been ripped off their identity and ripped off their land 77 years ago.
01:59Shame!
02:00shame!
02:01Shame!
02:02Shame!
02:03Shame!
02:04And it has been 586 days since the awful war genocide in Advent now started.
02:07Shame!
02:08Shame!
02:09Shame!
02:10Shame!
02:11Shame!
02:12Shame!
02:13Shame!
02:14Our siblings, brothers and sisters and family members of the Hapta are facing a forced starvation,
02:19a forced starvation, a forced starvation implemented by being tired of the mold.
02:26It has been normalized to see brown kids that look like me and every single person of color
02:32here have been partnered to be starved to death.
02:36And that has been awful and said yes!
02:37I know that maybe you are uncomfortable as you are trying to enjoy your evening but I need
02:46you to hear me.
02:47I need you to house the empathy.
02:49Talk about Palestine.
02:50Talk about the Nakba.
02:51You don't know what it is.
02:52Google Nakba.
02:53It is failing from you.
02:54Talk about the Chesna and the ongoing forced starvation and the ongoing
02:57genocide where all of us are experiencing this and are seeing our family members get killed
03:14by the so-called Israel regime fighting by our tax dollars.
03:20We need you to find our tax dollars how you speak like that.
03:29So I need you to use your privilege.
03:33Use your privilege.
03:35Recognize that so-called Canada was also so good for the indigenous people here.
03:42Recognize that you are a settler here.
03:45here and talk about Palestine, talk about indigenous people's rights as you are here
03:53and in Palestine, use your privilege.
04:03Feel free, there are some people wearing young vests from Hanford Charities
04:10with collecting donations if you wish to exit the patio
04:14and provide some donations to people that are actually on the ground who have been trying to help.
04:21Feel free to aid the campfire and provide a generous donation.
04:25Give back, give back as you can.
04:29For whoever in the top of Palestine, give back.
04:33Use money, send some money to Palestine.
04:37One more time, one more time for everybody on their patios.
04:51It's a really nice day, I know.
04:53But just so you know, while you're enjoying your meal, there's a force, a force and controlled starvation in Khansa.
05:05We speak, there are a truck full of food that is denied entry due to the siege and due to this...
05:17the house of empathy.
05:19Donate to organizations.
05:21Talk about Khansa!
05:25Go!
05:27Go!
05:29You should not bear to shoot back in your mighty.
05:33Get your name with Christensen.
05:35You should not make you shift off in your mighty and gentle language.
05:47Listen, listen, listen.
05:50Listen, listen.
05:52Listen, listen.
05:54Listen, listen.
05:56Listen.
05:57Listen.
05:58Listen.
05:59Listen.
06:00Listen.
06:01Listen.
06:02Listen.
06:03Listen.
06:04Listen.
06:05Listen.
06:06We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:09And it's boyhood land work.
06:12Enunciate your words so that they can hear you.
06:32We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:33We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:34We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:35We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:36We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:37We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:38We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:39We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:40We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:41We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:42We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:43We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:44We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:45We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:46We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:47We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:48We're going to do one chance before we leave.
06:49Resistance from Toronto, resistance to epic venting and displacement, resistance to the destruction of our lives and our identity.
07:10The neckline is not a moment in history, but ongoing. It is a wound inflected on our people daily. Yet 77 years later we resist. Every bullet, every bomb, every betrayal we stand stronger.
07:27We are the children of souls, of dreams, of faith, refusing to forget or surrender. Our cause is not a negotiation or a bargaining chip. It is our dignity. We are the generation that will not just remember Nehba, we will end it. We fight, we liberate, we return.
07:51Nehba, we Palestine. Nehba, we Palestine.
07:56In front of the leader, that's the only voice that I can hear. So I need every single person to be a time to louder.
08:03Because our brothers and sisters in the left side, they just learn more than that. They just learn more than us coming out just for a few hours.
08:11So let your voice be heard. No truth.
08:16Islam and Islam.
08:18Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim.
08:21Today marks 77 years since the catastrophic Nakba.
08:32A day etched into the fabric of time and is and forever will be a part of our history as Palestinians.
08:45Oftentimes, there's a stereotype that we hear. It's a funny stereotype, but the truth behind it is very sad.
08:56There's a stereotype that says a Palestinian, no matter what they do, no matter what they say, they will find a way to tell you that they are Palestinian.
09:07I'm sure a lot of you can relate. I'm sure a lot of you can relate. I'm sure a lot of your friends and your family, no matter who they are, they will find a way to tell you that they are Palestinian.
09:18At first glance, we see that as a funny stereotype that we see within Palestinian people.
09:25But the truth is, the truth is, the reason that is, is because we are a people that have had their history forcibly erased.
09:41You know, the first thing the Zionists did when they started to kick out Palestinians back in 1948, they didn't destroy the homes first.
10:00They didn't destroy the places of worship. The first thing that they destroyed were the places of history, the places where the knowledge lies, the places where the archives are, the places that talk about my grandfather, about my great-grandfather,
10:27about our story, about our story, about our rich history, about our culture, about our heritage, about our identity.
10:34That is what the Zionist entity first went after.
10:40But as I can see, on the 77th year anniversary of the Nakba, I can say proudly as I stand before every single one of you,
10:52that they failed to erase even just a bit of our culture and our history.
11:03When we think of the Nakba, we think of pain.
11:07We think of hurt.
11:09We think of the lost souls.
11:11We think of those like you and I, whose families were forcibly displaced, never knowing when they're going to return,
11:20never knowing if their homes are still going to stand, never knowing if they're going to even see their own family members ever again.
11:28For me, I remember one specific story.
11:31I remember my father's Nakba story, his Nakba experience.
11:40My father, who was born in 1945, yes, three years before the Nakba took place,
11:50my father was born in Palestine, in Safad, in a small town called Ja'uni.
11:57My father was just three years old when he was forcibly displaced out of Palestine alongside his family members,
12:07alongside his mother, alongside his father, alongside his siblings,
12:12just a three-year-old having to walk all the way from Safad to Lugnan.
12:21And I'm sure every single one of you that's here, whether it's your parents, whether it's your parents,
12:28whether it's your great-grandparents, you know someone that has a story about the Nakba.
12:34You know someone who has experienced the Nakba.
12:39Someone has passed down that knowledge to you.
12:43And this is significant because this goes to show who Palestinians truly are.
12:49This goes to show that even though these past 77 years have been 77 years of brutal occupation,
12:57have been 77 years of hurt and pain and heartache and siege.
13:04It goes to show that these 77 years have been 77 years of resilience,
13:10have been 77 years of strength, of bravery, of a belief so much more powerful than this cause even,
13:20that makes us know we will return one day inshallah.
13:29But the sad thing is, the sad thing is when we talk about the Nakba,
13:38we talk about it as if it's in the past.
13:43The past year and a half has gone to show that the Nakba never ended.
13:49The Nakba has been ongoing.
13:52The Nakba is something that whether you're a Palestinian living in Gaza,
13:57a Palestinian living in the West Bank,
13:59a Palestinian living in Jerusalem,
14:01a Palestinian living in the Diaspora,
14:04regardless, you feel that pain.
14:06You feel what those before you have experienced.
14:11Whether you were there or not,
14:14one way or another, you will feel that hurt.
14:17But a testament to every single individual that still comes out to these protests,
14:25that still raises that beautiful flag that represents liberation and freedom and justice,
14:32it shows that the people will never give up on Palestine.
14:39The people will never give up on Gaza.
14:42The people will never give up on the West Bank,
14:45on Jerusalem, on Tulkarat.
14:47No matter where it is,
14:49from the Mediterranean River all the way to the Jordanian Sea,
14:54we have shown the world that we will never give up on Palestine,
15:00not a single inch of that beautiful land.
15:03And we will reclaim it.
15:04Every single one of us,
15:06every single Palestinian will be able to return to their family's home.
15:12And if you haven't seen,
15:14that is why today we are carrying these keys,
15:17because these keys represent the Palestinians that were forcibly displaced back in 1948.
15:27They were forcibly displaced and wore these keys around their neck,
15:33because they believed that they were going to return.
15:36And I'm sure that many of your parents and your grandparents and your great grandparents
15:40still have that key somewhere.
15:42Because for a people whose belief is stronger than just numbers,
15:50is stronger than just social media,
15:53is stronger than just borders that outline us,
15:57that try to define us,
15:59for a people whose belief is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
16:03we know we will return.
16:05It's not a matter of if, but when.
16:08And inshallah my brothers and sisters,
16:10liberation and victory is very, very soon.
16:14Assalamualaikum.
16:16We have a demonstration today. It is a Thursday.
16:35But there is a lot going on, as you all know.
16:37I want you guys to show up to every single event there is for Palestinians.
16:41There is one this Saturday, in two days.
16:44And I hope to see you guys there inshallah.
16:47But what I'm trying to say is,
16:4977 years of this ongoing oppression and genocide,
16:53showing up and raising this flag is the least thing we can do.
16:57We hit on the 15th, because May 15th is the day of the Nakba.
17:03So we are not going to do it out of convenience.
17:07We care about quality.
17:09We care about a community that truly understands the importance of this.
17:14We are not going to westernize our faith to be accepted in this so-called system.
17:21It's because we are all Canadians,
17:23and we will all hold this government accountable,
17:26and this is our duty as Canadians.
17:29So just, there is a lot more to do.
17:32Our brother is going around and asking charity.
17:35We have a clear box and need to support us all the week.
17:38And inshallah, we will stand strong for many, many years to come, inshallah.
17:44And this is one year closer to our liberation.
17:47How can we do this?
17:49How can we do this on our own?
17:51We have to create a sustainable movement,
17:54where this future generation,
17:56they are the future black bearers of this cause.
18:00Everything we know, everything we learn,
18:03has to be passed on this future generation.
18:06So I will say, teach your children that Palestine is occupied.
18:11Teach your children that Aqsa Mosque is held captive.
18:15Teach your children that the resistance is an honor.
18:18Teach your children that the Zionist entity is an enemy.
18:22And teach your children that there is no such country called Israel.
18:27Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahu wa barakatuh.
18:29So let's conclude this demonstration.
18:33Please leave home safely.
18:35Leave with a friend.
18:37And return the flags if you have borrowed one.
18:40Jazakum Allahi.
18:41Jazakum Allahi.
18:48We want to make one last dua for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
18:52Whoever wishes to join us, please take the time and actually purify your heart and your intent for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
19:00But this is not only for Muslims.
19:03Because we are all people of faith.
19:06We have faith in justice.
19:07We have faith in this.
19:09So please, let's give it up to our mothers and just give that time of silence as to make some qaha for our brothers and sisters.
19:15Peace be upon all our friends and other families.
19:22I wanted to express my gratitude and happiness to see the young generation standing up and not forgetting what the whole world is wishing to forget.
19:39I can understand that 77 years ago, it was possible to hide a crime like what happened in Palestine.
19:49But I cannot understand.
19:51In the 21st century when we have advanced technology, we are still seeing people who are trying to put a plot and hide the back of truth.
20:02We are going to be saying to the power, the inherited legation of the world that you will not be able to do another Nakba al-Qaza in the 21st century.
20:15And this is not going to happen while we are all still alive.
20:19This is never going to happen while we still have people of conscience.
20:24This is not going to happen in our lifetime because no matter what and whatever the price is, we will not allow it to happen.
20:32So today we'll be sending a very strong message.
20:35And as I said again, to the retarded coward leaders of the world.
20:40We say to Mr. Trump, if you're trying to gain the Nobel Prize of Peace, all you need to do is to use your mind which you never have used before.
20:52Before you claim yourself to be a man who know how to take deals.
20:58It does not require from you too much intelligence to say if you want to be a man of peace, stop the flow of arms on the state of Israel that continues to kill Palestinians.
21:13The real terrorist is not the child seeking hiding refuge in hospitals.
21:20The real terrorist is not the child or the mom that's seeking refuge in schools that are being bombed.
21:27The real terrorist is seeing and knowing that there is a genocide happening in Palestine and keep a blind eye and a shut mouth.
21:38Shame on all the leaderships of the world. Shame on all the leaderships of the world.
21:44And thank you for being the voice of conscience. Continue to hit the streets. Continue to use the social media to send your message cross clearly to the whole world.
21:53That we cannot allow this to happen. We are not living in a jungle for Allah's sake.
22:00We are living in a modernized world and our conscience is what will be dictating and governing how this world will be living.
22:08And as Canadians, we need to send the clear message to our leadership.
22:12It does not need much intelligence to understand that what's happening in Gaza is a genocide.
22:19Attorney, attorney, wake up. Wake up before it's too late.
22:24What is happening in Gaza is a genocide against our morals and principles and beliefs as Canadians.
22:29Say it clearly and loudly. Do whatever it takes to stop the flow of support to the war machine that is killing innocent children in Gaza.
22:38That's the message we need to send out and clearly to all the leaderships of the world hoping that one day they will wake up before it is too late.
22:48Before we lose the population of Gaza for Allah's sake. It's not only the palms that are killing them now. It's the starvation.
22:56May Allah the merciful have rahmah on the world. Allahumma ameen.
23:01So put your hearts with me so we can make a universal prayer to those who are suffering not only in Gaza but across the world.
23:09And hoping that one day we will have true leadership that represents our conscience as people who are living on this planet that's called the earth.
23:17Who can bring justice and peace to the world.
23:19Allahumma laka alhamdu kama yambaghli jalali wajhika wa azimu sultanika Allahumma salli ala siddhna muhammadin wa ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in.
23:26Ya Allah we pray to you, we supplicate to you, you are the mighty. We ask you to restore justice and peace on this planet Ya Allah.
23:31Ya Allah we pray to you, we supplicate to you to have rahmah on the little children in Gaza Ya Rabbal Alameen.
23:37Ya Allah they have no one to stand for them. They've been trying to seek refuge in whatever places they're able to go to but they've been constantly bombarded Ya Allah.
23:47Ya Allah the whole leadership of the world is failing them Ya Allah and they have no refuge and no support or no hope except by you the mighty.
23:57Ya Allah we ask you to give the strength to these young people who have stood up and firm and spoke clearly and loudly that they will not allow another genocide, another catastrophe to take place in the 21st century.
24:11Ya Allah we pray to you, we supplicate to you, to feed those who are hungry around the globe, to free those who are captive Ya Allah, to heal those who are wounded Ya Allah, to give rahmah on those who are in inspired situations Ya Allah, we ask you to help us be able to stand for justice.
24:27For justice.
24:29For peace.
24:33And thank you so much.
