#411 โ€“ Omar Suleiman: Palestine, Gaza, Oct 7, Israel, Resistance, Faith & Islam

And I responded to them, those who have justified the genocide in Gaza, but that were somehow offering condolences for Wadir, privately, of course. By the way, if a Muslim would have committed that crime, every single Muslim leader would have had press in front of their door to condemn that crime. We would have all been made complicit

I had people reach out to me, say, I'm sorry about what happened with Wadir, it's terrible. I saw you at the funeral praying for you. My response was, what's the difference between Wadir and a boy in Gaza? What's the difference between me and Wadir? I'm a Palestinian child. My parents made it out of Palestine. I was born in this country.

If I didn't have the opportunity to grow up here and to become the person that I became, you would have been justifying my murder right now. You would have been okay with my genocide. You would have been giving the talking points to the press to erase me. But you feel sorry because Wadir was killed. And I think this is when we say that anti-Palestinian bigotry is an extension of Islamophobia.

If a mosque gets targeted here, people rightfully rush to protect that mosque and say, this is horrible and it shouldn't happen. But when you have an Israeli soldier bombing a mosque and laughing like a maniac on video, and it's going viral on TikTok, and there's no way to reign that in, and you don't have a word of condemnation about it. In fact, you are standing in the way of a ceasefire.

then you're a hypocrite. There's no way around it. You are a hypocrite. What's the difference between a mosque here and a mosque there? What's the difference between a Palestinian life here and a Palestinian life there? If you're okay with me being murdered there, don't say that you care about my life here. And so that hypocrisy has been laid bare. We have said multiple times, masks are falling.

Masks are falling. People that we thought were decent people somehow have found it in themselves to justify a genocide There is no shortage at this point of videos. And again, I could have made the excuse for you maybe in the first few weeks that you hadn't seen enough.

of children whose heads have been blown off, of children walking around without limbs, of parents carrying their kids in bags, not body bags, I mean grocery bags, because they don't even have body bags, and screaming out and saying, why are you doing this to me? Make it stop. And you come back and you tell that person, it's Hamas's fault. Where is your humanity? Where is your sense of decency?
