I missed one speech and forgot to exclude one clip. Rain is tricky to record in with a shield.

00:00We are shutting it down, and we have the right to shut it down, because these are our streets.
00:12This is what our money should be going to, repairing the roads right here, not defunding
00:17the genocide of the Palestinian people, not to give settlers and so-called Israelis better
00:29health care than here in Canada. Shame! Our money should be benefiting us. It should not be going
00:38to Israel. It should not be going to the occupation to continue an apartheid,
00:44an illegal apartheid, which the ICJ, the highest, highest court in the world, has officially called
00:53Israel an apartheid, an occupation, which makes it illegal. So if anyone ever tries to tell you
01:07that Israel is not an occupying force, if anyone tries to tell you that Palestine is not under
01:13occupation, that there is no apartheid, make sure to tell them, make sure to inform them,
01:19that no matter what they think, no matter what lies they're trying to feed you, that they
01:24themselves have been fed, you know from the ICJ itself, the highest, I'm going to repeat this
01:31because it's so important, because these people love their rules, apparently, the highest court
01:37order in the world has declared Israel an occupation.
01:49And by the laws of the UN, we know that when people are occupied in a year,
01:58no, after 315 days, no, after 315 days, no, after 315 days, no, do we want it yesterday?
02:15Do we want it yesterday?
02:18Yes!
02:20300, over 300 days, we have reached over 300 days of the genocide!
02:35300 days of watching people get killed, watching children become orphans, watching mothers and
02:43wives become widows, watching fathers having to live without their family, shame!
02:52We are now here again, after we have been called upon by our people in Gaza, by our people in
03:00Palestine, we have been asked to use our voice to speak for them, to speak for the voiceless,
03:07but we know, despite this, they are not voiceless, their cries are loud, louder than we could ever
03:15be, their cries are so loud that it's piercing my ears right now, every time I go to sleep,
03:22I hear the children crying for their parents, every time I go to sleep, I hear the mothers
03:30calling out for their children, the fathers crying, crying while they hold their families'
03:37corpses, is that the world we want to live in? Do we want to live in a country that funds this?
03:45Our money should be going to supporting us here in Canada, our money should not be going to killing
03:53children, to killing families, Israel continues, Israel, the occupation, whatever you want to
03:59call it, because all those words are true, it's an apartheid, criminals, there is an apartheid,
04:04it's an occupation, it is not a state, it is never and will never be a state, Israel will continue,
04:18Israel will continue to bomb these homes, there was a man who went to get his daughter's birth
04:26certificates, his daughter, his twin daughter's birth certificates, they were not alive for maybe
04:33less than a week, he came back, he came back with their death certificates instead, shame,
04:44that is what our government is funding, that is what Zionists want in this world,
04:50that is where your tax money goes, to killing children, shame,
04:58I don't, I don't care if you're not Palestinian, I don't care if you're not Muslim
05:03and a Christian, I don't care what you are, if you are a human, you stand with us,
05:08even if you're not a human, if you hate Trudeau, if you hate your government
05:12for wasting your tax money, you should be with us in the street right now,
05:16you should always be with us, there is only one solution,
05:36and the Winda peoples are now helped in many diverse first nations, Inuit and Métis peoples,
05:44we want to honor the land defenders across Turtle Island today,
05:55and stand in solidarity with our indigenous siblings,
05:58against settler colonialism,
06:03long live indigenous resistance,
06:07we demand Canada to impose an immediate two-way arms embargo now,
06:25as a part of this week's 20 billion weapons package to Israel,
06:31the U.S. Congress approved the purchase of 50,000 explosives worth 83 million Canadian dollars
06:40from General Dynamics and Tactical Systems in Quebec, shame,
06:48we are urging the Canadian government to block this export of explosives,
06:54close the U.S. loophole in Canada's arms export regime,
06:58and impose a real two-way arms embargo now,
07:08Parliament voted to stop the transfer of arms to Israel,
07:12however despite claiming to implement a pause on new permits,
07:18Minister of Foreign Affairs Melanie Jolie excluded the hundreds of existing permits,
07:28this would mean that 95 million worth of military goods could still be shipped to Israel, shame,
07:39arms embargo right now,
07:42arms embargo right now,
07:44Zionist state of Israel has implemented a brutal blockade on Gaza by air, sea and land, shame,
07:55this suffocating blockade constitute as a war crime,
07:59and it is a form of collective punishment on over 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza,
08:06of nearly which half are children,
08:12we want justice, who said how?
08:15We want the release of all our political prisoners,
08:24investigations have revealed Palestinian detainees were restrained and blindfolded,
08:32forced to sit and sometimes stand throughout the night beneath floodlights,
08:37Wounded Palestinians were strapped down to their beds, forced to wear diapers, and fed
08:45through straws.
08:47Shame!
08:50Soldiers beat and raped detainees.
08:55Prisoners' limbs were amputated due to untreated wounds.
09:00Shame!
09:03Israel is a terrorist state!
09:07Israel is a terrorist state!
09:08And the liberation of Palestine!
09:17Just this week, illegal settlers raided a Palestinian village, burning buildings and
09:25vehicles, attacking local residents, and killing a 23-year-old Palestinian while the
09:32Israeli army idly stood by.
09:35Shame!
09:39A witness said they just stood there next to them, saw everything, and did nothing.
09:46Shame!
09:49We demand an end to the occupation of all Palestinian land and the right of return of
09:56all Palestinian refugees in camps and in the diaspora to our homeland.
10:03Shame!
10:06President Trudeau, you will see a permanent ceasefire now.
10:12Shame!
10:18According to the Lancet medical journal, the true death toll as a result of Israel's
10:25genocide on Gaza could be anywhere between 200,000 to half a million people dead.
10:34Shame!
10:40Just this week, Gaza's first case of polio was confirmed.
10:47There are currently no cures for polio.
10:50Polio is a virus that can cause permanent paralysis.
10:56Before the genocide, polio was eradicated from Gaza 25 years ago.
11:02Shame!
11:07Gaza, Gaza, you will rise!
11:12So 1967, all of it is the Palestinian land.
11:17All of it, from the river to the sea.
11:24I'm talking a lot, I know, I'm talking a lot.
11:26But I feel like it's very important that we understand what we're saying.
11:29We can't sit here chanting when we don't know what we're saying.
11:32I don't want you to just repeat.
11:34I want you to be telling me, responding.
11:36I want you to be chanting with every bit of power from the bottom of your heart.
11:41I want to hear every chant.
11:43I want you to chant so loud.
11:45I want you to yell so loud, clap, stomp, whatever.
11:48I want you to make enough noise so that our people in Gaza can hear us.
12:02And I need you to also get closer if you can.
12:05Get closer if you can.
12:07We have a lot of space.
12:08If you're at the front, you're okay.
12:09I'm saying from the back, we have a lot of space on the other side.
12:13If you're on the side of union, we have a lot of space around us.
12:16It's okay.
12:17Get closer.
12:18We don't bite.
12:19We're not zionists.
12:20From the river to the sea.
12:23To simply listen.
12:25One of our demands is the right to return to all Palestinians, to the land of Palestine.
12:35All Palestinian land, all occupied settlements must return to the Palestinians.
12:41And that is only going to happen through resistance.
12:45And we know that.
12:46There is resistance all over.
12:48Have it be on the ground in Gaza.
12:50Have it be here in Canada with every single one of you.
12:54To an extent, we are the resistance.
12:56That is not just a chant.
12:57That is not just a chant.
12:59Please do not let my words get twisted.
13:01We are the resistance.
13:03And we will continue to resist against our government's lies, their fascism, and their continued support to the occupation.
13:12So I must remind you, one of our demands is the right to return to Palestinians.
13:20And another way of saying we are returning is Raja.
13:34We understand that.
13:35They continue to take our chants, our sayings, and everything we say from the river to the sea to Intifada.
13:43They continue to twist the words.
13:45Why do I keep using these terms to make sure they know that they're wrong?
13:50We understand what it means.
13:51From the river to the sea simply means that all of Palestine, from the river to the sea, very simply, will be free.
13:59We will not have zionists in our land.
14:01We will not have occupation.
14:02We will not have apartheid.
14:03It is our land.
14:13So when I say from the river to the sea or Intifada, I need you to say it as loud as possible.
14:19So even the zionists here, even when they close their ears and say la la la la la, they can still hear us.
14:24From the river to the sea.
14:27After 316 days of genocide, shame.
14:36I don't think you heard me.
14:37After 316 days of genocide, shame.
14:45Over 300 days of rage.
14:47Over 300 days of getting updates of the newest massacre that the occupation has committed on the Palestinian people.
14:57300 days is more than an academic year.
15:02There are people going back to university or school now after the fact that they witnessed this genocide at the beginning of their academic year.
15:11316 days, that is almost a full calendar year.
15:16Shame.
15:20Another massacre has been committed by the occupation.
15:24And we are back on the streets demanding for something to change.
15:28Just last week, while our people in Gaza were praying Salat al-Fajr, the occupation sent a missile, murdering over 100 people.
15:44Let me repeat.
15:45Israel killed over 100 people praying in the early morning.
15:51Shame.
15:55For our people in Gaza, we know that their Iman is strong.
16:00Stronger than any of ours.
16:02They know that death is not the end and they know that they have the greatest honor out of any of us.
16:08May we be as strong as our people in Gaza.
16:11May we be as inspirational as our people in Gaza.
16:14And may we help our people in Gaza to our absolute most.
16:19Why can I say this so confidently about our people in Gaza?
16:22Why am I speaking of their Iman?
16:24Of their faith?
16:26I'll answer that with a question.
16:28What is the closest mosque to your own home that has over 100 people praying Salat al-Fajr?
16:35What is the closest masjid that you know of that has over 100 people praying Salat al-Fajr?
16:43When was the last time you have heard in general of people praying, over 100 people praying Salat al-Fajr here in Canada?
16:54The outcome of the massacre was so bad that the family of the martyrs couldn't even identify the remains.
17:02The remains were divided by weight to differentiate adults and children.
17:07When have you ever heard of bags of people's remains being given out to their family and being told,
17:12this is your parent, this is your partner, this is your child and this is all that is left of them?
17:22Have any of you carried 70 kilograms?
17:25Imagine that is a bag of your family's remains and it may not even be your family.
17:31It might be someone else's family completely.
17:33You may not even have a piece of flesh in that bag from your mother, your daughter, from your father, your son,
17:40from your brother, your sister, from your grandfather, of whomever in your family.
17:44You could be carrying an absolute stranger's remains.
17:54Parents are being given bags of flesh and asked to treat it as if they were their child.
17:59An 18 kilogram bag was handed to a father and he told them, I don't know if this is my son or not.
18:05And they responded by telling him, bury him as if he is.
18:08He has no idea if he is even holding a son.
18:11You might be coming now with loved ones.
18:14You might be coming with your children, you might be coming with your sisters, your brothers, your parents.
18:18Imagine needing to carry them no matter how much they weigh.
18:22Imagine being handed a bag, having to carry them and bury them in the ground
18:28not even knowing if it's actually them.
18:30Praying, praying at the very least, Ya Rab, at least give me their arm.
18:36Ya Rab, at least give me their finger.
18:38Ya Rab, a hair.
18:41They wouldn't have had hair.
18:43It would have been burnt by the missile.
18:49Doctors in Gaza are on an all time low.
18:52There are no functioning hospitals as Israel continues to bomb whatever is left of these hospitals.
18:58Shame!
19:01Mosques and churches are being destroyed left and right.
19:04Civilians are getting kidnapped under the disguise of it being imprisonment and then raped in those prisons.
19:10Shame!
19:13I'm going to repeat that. It's crude but I'm going to repeat that.
19:18People are being kidnapped under a false pretense and then raped in those prisons.
19:29The only democracy in the Middle East, it makes no sense.
19:34If that's what democracy is,
19:37There are people being martyred as they simply worship.
19:42There are people being martyred as they go to get bread for their family.
19:46There are people being martyred as they go to buy clothes for their newly born children.
19:50As they go to get the birth certificates of their children.
19:53They don't even have time to name their children properly until they die.
19:58There are mothers, mothers who have lost their children.
20:03They die.
20:04There are mothers, mothers who are pregnant expecting a child.
20:09There are mothers who are still expecting.
20:12Maybe the next day they were going to give birth and they find her corpse under the rubble of her home.
20:23The settlers celebrate as the occupation targets and kills a mother and her two children.
20:29Shame!
20:31The settlers celebrate as they see open violence against Palestinians in settlements.
20:35Shame!
20:37The settlers do nothing to help the Palestinians, even the ones who want Netanyahu to step down.
20:42They are acting in their own interest, not in the interest of the people they are oppressing.
20:47Shame!
20:49Netanyahu is not the full problem.
20:52The entire colonialist ideology of Zionism is.
20:55The occupation of Palestine that they call Israel is the problem.
20:59The settlers who celebrate our suffering are the problem.
21:02The ones who demonize our resistance are the problem.
21:06But remember this, remember this with your heart and never forget it.
21:10The occupied, the occupied, no matter what, are all civilians.
21:16Even when they pick up a gun.
21:19And the settlers, the settlers, every single one of them, the settlers, are all still terrorists.
21:26Even if all they do is plant a flower.
21:40In the end of the day, we are here again asking for our government for a change.
21:47We are here demanding a change.
21:50And we will be back as many times as we are called upon by our people in Gaza.
21:55We are here to speak. We are here to use our voices for them.
22:00We are here now to make sure that our people in Gaza, the Zionists that are heartless,
22:07the people that are walking by that don't recognize that their tax money isn't going to support them,
22:13is actually going to a genocide.
22:15We're making sure they understand that we are all connected in this.
22:20We are all connected in this.
22:22The Palestinian liberation, it is a cause, it is a movement that affects all of us.
22:27Israel has connections everywhere with Al-Bit systems where they send weapons to any country.
22:33They are involved in the minings in the Congo.
22:36They are involved in the displacement in the Sudan.
22:38Israel has hands everywhere.
22:40They are involved here in Canada whether you want to believe it or not.
22:43We are here to make sure that change will happen.
22:49We are here to make sure that our martyrs, their memory will live on.
22:56We are here to make sure that our martyrs, we will never forget them.
23:02And we will honor all of our martyrs, all of our children, our sons, our daughters, our mothers and fathers,
23:08every single one of them.
23:10We are going to honor every single one of them.
23:12Have it be in our prayers. Have it be in our chants.
23:15Have it be when we walk. We will never forget them.
23:17We will never forget Palestine. We will never forget Gaza.
23:19So I ask you, please remember.
23:22Remember Palestine in your prayers, in your day to day life.
23:29Remember to continue to boycott.
23:31Remember to continue no matter how hard it is.
23:34Boycotting is not meant to be easy.
23:36None of this is meant to be easy.
23:37We are the underdogs.
23:38We are fighting. We are fighting for justice.
23:42And we know that justice usually is never coming from the big guys.
23:47It's never coming from the government.
23:49It's never coming from the massive corporations.
23:51It's up to us.
23:52Like in South Africa, the South African apartheid.
24:03It is up to the people.
24:05Because we know the people united have never been defeated.
24:08And they will never be defeated.
24:10No matter what.
24:15We understand.
24:16We understand that power is to us.
24:19Power is to the people.
24:21We are here. We will be here.
24:23We will stay here until our demands are met.
24:26Until our demands are met.

31:27So we were able to choke the city's transportation for a few hours.
31:33With that being said, I know that what we're doing is not enough.
31:39Whatever we do for the people of Gaza and the people of Palestine, nothing will ever be enough.
31:45This is something all of you have to understand.
31:47It doesn't matter how much we're burnt out.
31:49We do not operate based on results.
31:52We operate based on results.
31:54We will keep coming out.
31:56We will keep taking these streets.
32:02The people of Gaza need us to come out.
32:05Whether you're Palestinian, whether you're Arab, whether you're Muslim, whether you're Christian,
32:11whether you're allies, whether you're indigenous, it doesn't matter where you're from.
32:15Every single person has the responsibility to come out and support the people of Gaza.
32:25All of you, I'm going to repeat it one more time.
32:30All of us have the responsibility to come out.
32:33Nothing we will ever do will ever be enough.
32:36It doesn't matter if we stay here the whole day.
32:38The people of Gaza are strengthened by the resistance.
32:42The only thing that will set us free is our resistance.
32:46We do not allow embargo.
32:56We do not allow embargo.
33:00Out of that 20 million, 87.3 million of weapons are being manufactured right here in Canada.
33:12When I say this, I want you to realize all of you have a role to play.
33:17Don't say, oh, I'm living in Canada, what can I do?
33:20This is what we can do.
33:22By spreading awareness, by shutting down the streets, by reminding everybody.
33:25There can be no business as usual without oppressed people being killed every day.
33:33We will continue to show up, night, day, rain, sunny, snow, it doesn't matter.
33:40We will continue to make our stand clear, to make our voice heard, to be the voice of the voiceless.
33:47To be the voice of the oppressed people of Gaza.
34:10Again, all of us impose new conditions on the ceasefire deal.
34:21Benjamin Netanyahu and his genocidal government keeps trying to push the deal.
34:31Keeps trying to push for more time.
34:34Keeps trying to impose more conditions.
34:36Why? It's clear.
34:39Because they want to kill more innocent people.
34:44The Zionist, terrorist state of Israel has no right to exist because it's a central colonial state.
34:52We the Palestinians, our indigenous land, we were born there, lived there, our descent has come from there.
35:00That is our land.
35:02No one will ever take it from us.
35:10The address for the other action is 181 Nugget, which is in Scarborough.
35:15Before we end, I will remind all of you, all of us, have responsibility.
35:21It's not about coming to one or two actions.
35:23Let's stay united, let's stay strong, and thank all of you for coming out today.
35:31Free, free Palestine.
35:39He looks at it as a hand with his children and a hand with a craving for the world.
35:44We may all be here.
35:46He calls on you to continue and to escalate and to stay with Palestine until total liberation.
35:53He sends his love and regards and solidarity from the heart of Gaza.
35:57He calls on you to keep going.
36:00And he sends his love and regards.
36:04Eternal Islam.
