Palestinian Child Speaks on Gaza, the Nakba, and Freedom

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

I stand before you not just to remember the Nakba

of nineteen forty-eight, but to acknowledge the

ongoing Nakba, the genocide of which we have been

witnessing for seven months in Gaza.

How many more innocent Palestinian lives must be lost?

How many more children must suffer for the world to end this

brutal genocide against my people in Gaza?

Please tell me. Oh, please tell me.

As Palestinian children, we dream like all other

children. We dream of a happy future, of continuing our

education, of living with our families.

But no,

Israel doesn't want that to happen,

and the world remains silent.

How many more children must survive without their parents, without their

entire families? How many more must be wounded,

scattered, deprived of their basic human rights?

Israel has created new categories in our Palestinian

society through this brutal and hostile genocide.

But still, we will not stop hoping for a better

tomorrow in

Palestine. We will not surrender to the evil,

and we will

continue to dream of a free Palestine.

It is our duty to make this happen. If the adults of

today cannot, the children will grow up, and they will not

forget. The children will make it happen.

The children will make it happen in the near future.

We hold the key of return today, and we will return tomorrow when this

occupation ends. We are the children of today, but we

are the future leaders of tomorrow.

Free, free.

Palestine.

Free, free.

Palestine.

Free, free.

Palestine.

Thank you so much.
