Protests for Palestinian Rights and Awareness
We've been watching
something out of hell.
It's like something out of hell.
Atrocities, crimes against humanity, war crimes.
And it's all been filmed. We've all been able to, to see it.
And I know that many people have chosen to look away because it's unbearable,
but I
haven't felt able to do that. I didn't think there
was a choice about looking
away. I just thought, if it's happening, you have to witness
it. And if that's unbearable, well, you'll have to find a way of dealing with
it
because the Palestinian people are.
The death toll o- on children in the last three years will
be much greater than
twenty thousand. But that that can happen,
and that the world can watch it happening,
and not only do nothing but to support the government that
is inflicting that.
And my only way of staying sane as I witness it is to
protest, is to join the movement of protest,
to get out in the streets,
to stand up and speak, to do what I can in my own very,
very small
way to give voice to what I'm seeing, given that the Palestinian
narrative is being censored and suppressed.
That's been my way of dealing it without going insane.
Palestine will be free!
Popular movements on the ground are the only way in which a response of
sufficient rage and compassion
has materialized. It has not been in our politicians,
you know.
That community
that I found myself part of, walking the streets on Saturdays at the
marches, walking side by side with people of every
faith,
every generation, every ethnicity.
If I have optimism left, that's where my optimism lies.
My source of optimism i- is in that extraordinary,
um, tireless,
um, connected,
impassioned, empathetic movement
of Palestinian rights.
If you can, be in London on October the 10th for
Palestine. It'll be the third anniversary of the
genocide.
Wherever you live in the UK, please get on a bus, get on a train,
and come
and join us.
Free Palestine!
