It hasn't been 70 days since Palestine was attacked. May 15th, 1948, was 75 years, 7 months, and 1 day ago, which is 27,608 days. Almost 76 years of constant occupation and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people from their native homeland. We are the ones who tend the crops and love the land for the life it gives us. That love is everlasting. It grows day after day and will never succumb to anything. The breath of any Palestinian is a defiance of every zionist; it is a defiance of every imperialist, every colonizer who wishes to take away the basic human rights of an indigenous people.

The breath of a Palestinian is sacred, their smile and joy is worth more than anything this world could provide. The breath of any indigenous people is sacred. Below is a transcript of some speeches I have given at talks in between school readings. Oh, I'm in law school now alhamdulillah :)


This speech I gave outside my school in protest one day:

"How do we deal with losing our humanity? What do we do when we get tired of convincing the general public that we are being killed? When people with nationwide audiences like Nikki Haley, Jordan Peterson, and nearly every elected official in Congress are bought out by zionist political machines calling for our genocide. How do you deal with the narrative that we have to prove them wrong? That we have to prove our humanity and be the "bigger person".

As a student, I can tell you I have zero strength to do my homework. I'm exhausted physically, and mentally drained. I feel support from my student body and none from my administration. The censoring of the entire student body is nothing short of analogous to collective punishment. And what a privilege it is to simply have graduating classes. The status quo is a privilege for Palestinians. The entirety of the 23/24 school year was canceled in Gaza because there are no more students. None. All of them were martyred. They did not miraculously die as journalists use language to shift their despicable narrative. They were killed."


The death toll is over 20,000 dead. Nearly half of them are children. And 90% of the entire population has been displaced. Bombs dropping everywhere with nowhere to run. What a cruel, cruel world. I find peace knowing every single individual responsible will be held accountable come the Day of Judgement. All knows all, sees all, hears all. There is no escaping, no hiding. I know every child murdered by the state of Israel is now flying high as a bird in Jannah and will experience joy and happiness at incomprehensible levels this world failed to provide even an ounce of. Glory to all our martyrs. Zionism will fall and crumble within our lifetime inshallah. The people of the world are with Palestine. The people of the world are united together against every oppressor for all oppressed peoples. Peace is the white man's word. Justice is ours. Only Justice will bring Peace.
