 Why are we standing here? Why in 2023 do we need to flow the streets globally across Europe, in Berlin, of all places, to demand an end to a genocide which our governments knowingly support? Not only that, why did we have to fear that we may be silenced, prevented from standing here and speaking out? Why does this government criminalize our solidarity and stands in solidarity with war criminals? This is only the latest horrific chapter in a nightmare that our countries unleashed upon the Palestinian people 75 years ago. The killing intensifies at times, but let's be clear, it never truly stops. How many innocent lives have those 75 years claimed? How many Israeli missiles have delivered death and destruction since we woke up this morning? How many children have been killed or maimed since we gathered here? And they speak of humanitarian pauses, a pause in the massacring of innocents, a pause in the erasure of entire families, a pause in the ethnic cleansing of over 2 million people. You don't ask for a genocide to pause, you demand a genocide to stop. But remember this, let not only the brutality of the Israeli government enrages, let also the resilience of the Palestinian people inspire us. One side has every tool of mass destruction at its disposal, the other has nothing except a determination to live in peace and freedom. This determination will outlast oppression, it will outlive injustice, it will deliver peace and freedom, not only for them, because this will mean peace and freedom for people of all creeds and ethnicities in Palestine. It will renew inspiration for the oppressed around the world, because if the Palestinian people can persevere and win, so can they, and so can we. So today we link arms around the world to demand an end to genocide, occupation and apartheid. Together we will bring freedom to the land of Palestine. Palestinians will be free, Israelis will be free, people of all creeds and ethnicities will be free, Palestine will be free, long live Palestine. Long live Palestine! Thank you.
