I have to ask who the hell do you think you are and who the hell do you think you represent because it isn’t this town. You’ve seen me enough on this podium pleading to you all to simply be human beings. My first time on this podium I had one one-year-old son and I was screaming on behalf of the children just like him who are being masslaughtered daily by the terrorist ethnostate state of Israel that is now internationally and legally designated as an apartheid state committing genocide by the highest courts on the planet and I am here today with a now three-year-old son and a daughter that just celebrated her first birthday just a couple days ago and not a single thing has changed.
Speaking of first birthdays there are now 27 pages worth and counting of Palestinian newborns under the age of one killed by Israel since a year and a half ago. That is close to 1,000 newborns that did not make it to their first birthdays. Do you hear me? A child in Gaza is killed every 45 minutes that is an average of 30 children killed by Israel every day. Do you hear me? Since I last spent on this podium not a single thing has changed aside from hundreds of thousands of killed Palestinians in a full-scale genocide and holocaust of my people and you still sit there not just silent and refusing on numerous occasions to simply call for a ceasefire which is well beyond the bare minimum at this point but you are actually allowing this terrorist waste flag of a flag that is now synonymous globally with the Nazi banner to fly high over our most diverse city.
Who the hell do you think you are? I dare any of you to watch any of the atrocities I post daily and have the audacity to put that flag up. We just witnessed Israel bombing displacement tents full of families killing predominantly children where we saw their bodies burning alive and brought to the morgue solidified and blackened with smoke still emanating from the children’s faces and bodies and what do we see just minutes later. We see two Zionist WhatsApp group chats with over half a million combined subscribers which I’ll bet many of the Zionists of this town are a part of reposting the videos of the children charged bodies celebrating and laughing about it with a direct quote that says there is a sale on charcoal for Independence Day floor prices. They are referring to images of the charred Palestinian child corpses as charcoal for their barbecue celebrating their 77th year of independence this exact celebration that you are going to entertain here at city hall this 77th year of independence you’re about to cater to is literally the 77th year since the beginning of Israel’s brutal land theft occupation oppression apartheid mass murder rape hostage holding and epic cleansing campaign on the Palestinians your raising of that flag right now as we speak after everything we have witnessed on live stream would put you firmly in the history books with those who would have stood proudly next to the Nazis heiling Hitler and his Nazi flag.
