Omar Suleiman

I think about what could have been all the time. You know, I actually mentioned this in the first DC protest. That I remember getting a notification, a news notification just prior to October with my name in it. You know, so I always get these notifications, right? If my name's been mentioned in an article. And so, oh, your name's been mentioned in an article.

And it was a 16-year-old Omar Suleiman who was murdered in the West Bank. He literally had my name, held up his picture. And I realized that could have been me. So I think of why God chose me to not be there. and hopefully him choosing all of us that are not there to be for those that are still there, to be their voices. I'm grateful, and I'm also in pain.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to be able to speak on their behalf, but I'm also guilty that they have to bear the brunt of this evil hatred that unfortunately displaced our parents in the first place.

So I think that there's a powerful connection between the Palestinian people and the indigenous in this land and in other places. that have been wronged. We are living here in the United States on stolen lands that is drenched in the blood of the natives and that was built upon with the blood, sweat, and labor of enslaved Africans that were brought from overseas.

It's a great evil that we have to reckon with constantly. And so I think that's the power of solidarity. And if you look in Canada and you look in places like Australia, there has been a refocus on the crimes against the Indigenous of those places. I think that what makes the Palestinian plight

deeply painful and maybe where the analogy even doesn't do justice is that from the river to the sea is less than 500 times what the United States is in terms of land. It's not that big of a piece of land. And so the original lie was a land without a people for a people without a land. And the problem was that there were people on that land that were forcibly removed.
