Made us feel like we could rely on them to protect our rights and the rights of the oppressed. <\/p>\n<p>They spoke loudly in the corridors of power, on pulpits and public places. Their voice echoed widely and we felt heard. <\/p>\n<p>Today it seems, even though we march in our millions around the world and are collectively screaming &#8220;WE WANT JUSTICE FOR PALESTINE&#8221; using any and all platforms at our disposal, the people with the power to end this calamity of justice, this human catastrophe, this massacre of the masses, are deaf to our demands.<\/p>\n<p>#ceasefirenow #FreePalestine #Islam #Quran #Allah #ProphetMuhammad\ufdfa #Dawah #Muslim #Interfaith #StandWithUs #OnenessofGod #islamamophobia #Truth #debunkingmyths #Christianity #Evangelical #Christian #Bible #Corruption #Truth #islamichistory #Religion #Atheist #Faith #NowYouKnow #Palestine #Gaza #Humanrights #BoycottZionist #AntiZionismisNotAntiSemitism <\/p>\n<p>\u2757\ufe0fDM me for credit or removal request (no copyright intended)<br \/>\n\u00a9\ufe0f All rights and credits reserved to the respective owner(s)\n<\/p>\n<p>English Script:<br \/>\nObama:<br \/>\n00:00:00:00 &#8211; 00:00:26:11<br \/>\nUnknown<br \/>\nAnd put yourself in their shoes. Look at the world through their eyes. It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of their own. Living their entire lives with the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements, not just of those young people, but their parents, their grandparents. Every single day. It&#8217;s not just When settler<\/p>\n<p>00:00:26:11 &#8211; 00:00:59:08<br \/>\nUnknown<br \/>\nViolence against Palestinians goes unpunished. It&#8217;s not right to prevent Palestinians from farming their lands or restricting a student&#8217;s ability to move around the West Bank or displace Palestinian families from their homes. Neither occupation nor expulsion is the answer. Just as Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nAlbanese:<br \/>\nIsraelis continue to DEMONIZE all Palestinians as TERRORISTS. Palestinians experience Israelis as OCCUPIERS and employers of cheap labor, interrogators and jailers. Meanwhile, the government of Israel continues to allow fundamentalists to build ILLEGAL settlements on Palestinian LAND. That it is now more than 35 YEARS since UN Security Council Resolution 242 was carried. Since that time the systematic REPRESSION of the OCCUPIED by the OCCUPIERS has been at the core. The Palestinians must be given their HOMELAND. The OCCUPATION of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem by the Israelis has created generations of OPPRESSED people. The creation of the State of Israel in 1948 and subsequent events have produced up to 3.8 million Palestinian refugees TODAY. It was unfortunate that it was.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ays-arp-under-posts-container ays-arp-elegant-layout \" id=\"ays-arp-under-posts-container-60-69d8f8e7b9a45\"  data-id=\"69d8f8e7b9a45\"
