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

Unfortunately, this is a bipartisan problem. And so again, we're under no illusion here. Like we're not looking to Donald Trump as a savior here, but we are going to penalize Joe Biden. And that's, you know, I can't speak for everybody, but I think that that's where a lot of our minds are at right now.

Well, the first thing I remember is that there was no news coverage of it. So 400,000 people march on DC, one of the largest marches in history. It was nowhere to be found in mainstream media coverage.

Whereas when the Stand with Israel rally happened, between the 300,000 strong Palestine rally and the 400,000 strong Palestine rally, there was a Stand with Israel rally where congressmen were bused from Congress to speak at that rally. Democrats and Republicans and high profile celebrities. And it was, you know, live streamed across multiple places.

I mean, I have to say this, the ICJ, if that wasn't the greatest display of media bias in the domain of United States mainstream media, then I don't know what is. They live streamed the Israeli defense on multiple news outlets, defending itself against the case for genocide and completely omitted the South African presentation of the crimes of Israel the day before.

So what I remember first and foremost about the protests is that they were nowhere to be found on mainstream media, which was expected. But what I also remember from the actual day of and from all of the pro-Palestine rallies is that I have never seen a more multi-faith, more diverse group of people consistently coming out for Palestine against the genocide in Gaza that I have this time around.

And I think that has been the experience all around. There has been a pronounced Jewish presence Jewish Voice for Peace, If Not Now, other anti-Zionist Jewish groups, groups that are against the genocide, against the occupation, former Israeli soldiers even, you know, that have been showing up at these protests.

There's been a pronounced presence from Native American groups, Indigenous groups, all across the board, right? Christians, Jews, Muslims, I've never seen more diversity at these rallies than I've seen this time around, which I think is a sign of where things are going.
