00:00:00say one
00:00:01of of the top pro-palestine pages on TikTok, um, out of Jens activists, it was definitely
00:00:05top top 10, and they deleted it out
00:00:09of nowhere, things had changed so much since
00:00:13uh TikTok was forced by the United States federal government to spin off
00:00:17their US arm, their American version
00:00:19of the app, to a consortium of right-wing zionist
00:00:23billionaires, headed by Larry Ellison himself, who
00:00:27as many know has built out a massive media monopoly and
00:00:30uh part
00:00:31of of the uh American's media diet, he controls rough
00:00:35estimates 33 to 40% of whatever one consumes
00:00:39a daily or weekly basis, um and this is something he's done in the last two years,
00:00:42tiktok was part
00:00:44of of that,
00:00:45of and um so I guess it comes to me as as not a
00:00:49surprise per say,
00:00:50me but it was only matter of time before they cracked down, I mean we're seeing how
00:00:54Meta and other social media platforms are deleting uh presidential
00:00:58candidates during their election season, we saw with Lula and Brazil and
00:01:02so I understood that this was kind of a risk continuing
00:01:05a to speak out for Palestine against imperialism etc
00:01:08etc.
00:01:10um because this is
00:01:11the whole reason it's called it's called um uh media
00:01:15ownership as a form of political investment
00:01:17of it's something we've seen elon Musk do with x we now have seen Larry
00:01:21Ellison do with tiktok and CBS and all these other
00:01:24IPs it was first started
00:01:26when the the Adelson family. 'who funded
00:01:30both Netanyahu's rise to power and Donald Trump's rise to power, the first political
00:01:34campaigns back and I think
00:01:36it was 1990, 1996
00:01:38of and obviously 2016 onwards for Donald Trump uh they founded a
00:01:42newspaper that helped relaunch Netanyahu back into power as prime minister in
00:01:45Israel in the you know late 2010s I believe uh they lost a
00:01:49free newspaper called Israel home because they had so much money they would to back it became the
00:01:53first daily newspaper in Israel and they flooded the news scene for
00:01:57Israelis and it was explicitly prolacute'. Right, so this is a
00:02:01strategy that we're seeing uh used more and more so to
00:02:05of capture social media
00:02:05of platforms now, not just traditional media, not just uh news outlets
00:02:09and television shows, um, or
00:02:13even now we're seeing youtube channels and influencers being bought out and
00:02:16me paid with dark money to influence their reporting, it's a very dangerous
00:02:19environment and uh for the people because the information were
00:02:23being fed is controlled by the same class of billionaires
00:02:27and so you know I was in China the... and they deleted my
00:02:31account, i was not, like i said, not
00:02:34super surprised, but it was shocking to me that they would do it so
00:02:38braizenly while i was again on another trip to expand
00:02:42my international perspective and build solidarity between this, in this
00:02:45case the American and Chinese people,
00:02:48and
00:02:49so um, this was
00:02:51an account i started when i was 12 years old,
00:02:54i poured you know the
00:02:55last eight years
00:02:55of my
00:02:56life into it, i practically grew up on tiktok and it it it's
00:03:00made up a large part of what I used to sustain myself, pay rent for
00:03:04of this, one bedroom apartment, put food on the table, feed my cat, put gas
00:03:07of in my car, pay my utilities, those types of things, and so it hit
00:03:11me pretty hard, and I still haven't been able to realize um,
00:03:15you know how much of an impact it will have on me, but more than that, what
00:03:19I'm fearful of happening is that I'll have to slow down my
00:03:22avegacy to spend my time you know doing another job or
00:03:26something that's
00:03:27in not contributing towards other people or or doing my work. 'cuz I've always done pretty much
00:03:31full-time since I started doing it,
00:03:33and
00:03:36I it sucks because I've not been the first to get deleted on
00:03:40Larry Ellison's tech talk, there are so many other Palestinian voices
00:03:43and activists and youstern dissidents and journalists who have
00:03:47gotten silenced and abused and harassed by the state, by these social
00:03:51media platforms on by
00:03:53of billionaires of and I think as I was still reeling
00:03:56from just getting deleted all the sudden with no ch'. to
00:04:01of appeal that I didn't realize how much uh
00:04:05uh less safe I was now that my voice had been diminished and so upon
00:04:09returning to the United States you know the night before I was talking with some
00:04:12activist friends 12 hours away in you know United States
00:04:16uh by time zone and they were encouraging me they were saying guy you
00:04:20should make a video you're a lot less safe
00:04:23and I was like no it's fine
00:04:24you know the United States wouldn't dare harass someone going between United
00:04:28States and China. maybe it's
00:04:30a little naive to think of that, but it hadn't happened to me before,
00:04:34regardless of me going to Cuba twice this year, um, I was, I guess I was
00:04:38lucky in those
00:04:39a scenarios, but they convinced me to record a video beforehand, and I am so
00:04:42glad I did, because as soon as I landed from Shanghai
00:04:46to Lax, um, a couple, I think 40 hours, 72 hours
00:04:50ago, it was very long journey, 14 hours and I still had more
00:04:54legs to go, and I landed in Lax and I
00:04:58texted my friends like, hey, you about going through
00:05:01of customs, watch out, if i don't text you,
00:05:05in you know what happened, and of course i walk up to the new, i don't know, guess it's normal now, the facial
00:05:09screening devices and your face in it
00:05:13instead of using your passport and it scanned it once it said you
00:05:16try again
00:05:18and again try again and the third time it said c agent i think this is just a way they
00:05:22they had already flagged me right uh but it's just the way that you have to
00:05:26go through it and then they'll put you to the side
00:05:28and so they pulled me in for secondary detention and was able to get
00:05:32text out um to to my people right before they took me in there
00:05:36saying all right post go ahead um
00:05:38and so they had me detained for about
00:05:4290% minutes and they took my passport, I was the only white
00:05:45guy in the detention center, I've never been in this sort of scenario before,
00:05:49despite all my travel, and it really made me,
00:05:53consider that this type of treatment is
00:05:56what all black or brown people get in the United States, it's what all
00:06:00foreigners get just on the basis of who they are, and you're
00:06:04discriminated against, and so now what we're seeing in
00:06:08America is that um, scope of targeting
00:06:11expand to any... one who speaks out for truth, speaks out against imperialism,
00:06:15speaks up for Palestine, um, and it's something we've seen in
00:06:19how, even white American citizens are being killed in the streets by ice
00:06:23now, right, this is another mapping of that expansion
00:06:27over, and um, they sat me
00:06:30down, they there were two agents, I was in like some sort of like weird
00:06:34backrooms away from everybody else, they played the classic good cop,
00:06:38bad cop um stick, and they
00:06:42were... asking me all sorts of questions, i'll tell you was i was, i was shaking, i was pretty
00:06:46scared, i won't lie, but um, they were asking me like, tell
00:06:49us everyone you met in China, everybody you talked to, everywhere you went, every organization
00:06:53you worked with, they accused me of of um funding people
00:06:57abroad, the they asked me who are you funding abroad, you got to tell us
00:07:01this, you don't tell us this, we're not going to let you go, i of course the first
00:07:05thing did was ask for a lawyer what my rights were, and they said you don't have any
00:07:09rights, uh, you have no right to ask for a lawyer, and
00:07:13It's pretty crazy
00:07:15um um because when I went to China as i was coming
00:07:19back they gave me no such treatment they did not treat me like I was
00:07:23hostile enemy to the state they did not
00:07:26um harass me at the border or give any sort of trouble like I
00:07:30felt treated better in China by the
00:07:34state than I am being treated in the United
00:07:37States as a privileged class or privileged identity
00:07:41in the uh american system
00:07:43and they were trying to
00:07:47bring up so many different things,
00:07:49i had, well the laptop has the stickers on it, but i have all these sorts of like stickers on my
00:07:53laptop of like an IDF soldier face smashed it with watermelon
00:07:57and like chegavara stickers and stuff, they kept pointing to that as
00:08:01they were ripping through my bags in front of me and you
00:08:05they were pointing to it and they saying you're not we're not pulling you for this
00:08:09right, they're waiting for me to say something giving them an opening and didn't get the
00:08:12uh much of anything um but um
00:08:16they were really trying to get me to name like organizations and people i was
00:08:20funding so they could get leads to probably cause more trouble for
00:08:24me um but I'm lucky that it was only again an
00:08:27hour and a half of detention I'm lucky that I had prepared and I have allies
00:08:31who posted my video on platforms that I have just been
00:08:35banned from because it's not only tiktok that had deleted me it's instagram who
00:08:39deleted me on October 7th of this month
00:08:41in 2026. um, after, I mean, I've been kind of
00:08:44blacklisted on there, um, since the beginning of
00:08:48summer 2025, when meta used the
00:08:52news of my illegal expulsion from Ohio State
00:08:55University, after I finished my fresh one year, uh, over my videos I had been
00:08:59posting on TikTok, opposing the genocide against Palestine, you know,
00:09:03Meta took that, they were like, this guy's clearly violent terrorist, look at these headlines
00:09:07and they totally banned my account at like, it was like
00:09:11500 thousand followers and "I'd only made it at the beginning the
00:09:14year, and uh, ever since the accounts that I make, they
00:09:18stay up for a while, but they wants to get found out or I make enough
00:09:21noise, then somebody checks in and like, let's just get rid of him now." And so that's
00:09:25what happened at
00:09:25the beginning
00:09:26of this month, when I had made lot of noise about Zaron Mamdani, raising
00:09:30uh the criticisms brought against him by the Palestine movement, as
00:09:34they have been consistently from even before he won
00:09:37election, and correct, so so my
00:09:41allies. shout out to lavish max, shout out to Lily Eagla, I want to, I
00:09:45want to say some of those names here, there's a lot of people on instagram like Israel exposed,
00:09:49um, and uh, I think Royal News also did a piece on on my
00:09:53detention, and of course shout out to you, yeah, I saw that, yeah, yeah,
00:09:57yeah, well, wow, I mean, yeah, no,
00:10:01continue please, just the, I let you talk is like just uh,
00:10:05I think I've noticed very stark difference um, in the level
00:10:09and who has been able and chosen to support um, my voice and
00:10:13my rights compared to the other times that I've been
00:10:16had gotten stopped at the airport by the FBI or had my youtube
00:10:19banned like it was night and day because what I've
00:10:23experienced
00:10:24uh uh this month really is a insane level of harassment
00:10:28from liberals who are smearing
00:10:32me, incredibly so say stuff like like guy christenson is the
00:10:36type to like take joy from hurting animals or like this
00:10:40is the level of of insanity that is being used against me and it
00:10:44was all triggered because of my criticisms that i elevated about Zaron
00:10:48Momdani specifically just for people watching i'm sure not everyone has like heard about
00:10:51this uh momdonni gave $26 million to to openly
00:10:55zionist organizations that have harassed our palestine movement and done
00:10:59material things to harm our activists, and to me that's
00:11:02unacceptable, um, particularly because I
00:11:05connected um uh part the reason
00:11:09or part the motivation that I was initially illegal
00:11:13expelled from college was um helped by members
00:11:17of Donald Trump's task forced to compat an antisemitism which is
00:11:20a Biden plan that he renamed and what is
00:11:24um mom Doni framework to give all this funding to the zionist
00:11:27organizations he's bar to quote combat
00:11:30antisemit to quote combat anti-semitism but it is
00:11:34an anti-palestine planet and uh the attorney
00:11:38general former attorney general fan Vondi and uh senior
00:11:42council the task force common anti-semitism Iorell were on
00:11:45twitter last summer or last
00:11:49year summer 2025 uh urging people to investigate me and
00:11:52sending leads and like take action against me and so to see
00:11:56like even uh um i've
00:12:00seen and felt and experienced um
00:12:03harassment and attacks by these strategies to combat antisemitism and i
00:12:07know that i'm very lucky because i still have a relatively clean
00:12:11reputation um i'm still young um i
00:12:14have legal defense over certain things and i can
00:12:18speak out against it when these plans get refunded or
00:12:22niinex funded as in the case of mom Doni because there are
00:12:25thousands, tens of thousands of students who were also
00:12:29victims these these uh anti-palestine plans of
00:12:33uh project heritage uh or sorry the heritage foundation's project
00:12:37aster plan and they're not here to speak out about
00:12:41it, they got thrown into ice concentration camps for their political views and their
00:12:45activism for palestine, there I know dozen people at Ohio State
00:12:48University whom the uh Ohio State cooperated
00:12:52with Ice to help deport them for participating and palestine protests,
00:12:56these people cannot speak about these things anymore, they cannot warn the rest of what's
00:12:59coming when we keep um just letting it slide, especially
00:13:03from our progressives our DSA electes who are continuing to feed in the
00:13:07same programs that have so thoroughly
00:13:11attempted and are destroying the pro-palestine particularly student
00:13:15movement
00:13:16and it just is it feels so crazy because you
00:13:19know the American system is making it clear that our
00:13:23rights only go so far as uh they've set within our boundaries, if we
00:13:27go to a place that they don't want us to, we'll learn very quickly that
00:13:30our freedom of speech is not actually real. we will learn very quickly
00:13:34that we can't say,
00:13:36you know, we want to boycott Israel, we don't want, for example, our college endowments
00:13:40going to fund Israel, we don't want American tax dollars going to subsidize Israeli
00:13:44healthcare or watching Palestinian kids getting burned alive,
00:13:48and correct, the same thing applies to our democracy, we can have
00:13:51nominally people who say, well, I don't want to send any more... to Israel
00:13:55and that's that doesn't come for lot of Americans still, it doesn't come with lot
00:13:59of extra stuff, they may just say that on the basis of a want to focus on Americans,
00:14:03right? it doesn't necessarily mean the pro palestine, many are, but that is the
00:14:06case, and still we have even more people in Congress
00:14:10than we ever have, are so adamantly supportive the
00:14:14zionist project and won't ever listen to the demands the
00:14:18people, right? so this idea of American democracy is not being reflected
00:14:22on so many issues and it's not just with Israel, palestine. and is not just with the
00:14:25Iran war, it's not just with data centers or flock safety cameras or
00:14:29the AI uh development that's you know left us Americans with
00:14:33no job protections, these are all issues where Americans are pretty much aligned in
00:14:37favor of protecting our people and protecting our our
00:14:41wellbeing and it's not just never going to be reflected in our government, which
00:14:45points to the fact that our democracy you know is just the facade, they set
00:14:49these limits, and when we want something outside of that, we will never ever get that by
00:14:53going within their system, it's... ludicrous what's happening,
00:14:56and you come uh, I'm part of a generation in America
00:15:00where we look at our country and we say to ourselves, we are doing our children
00:15:04disservice if we raise them in this country because they're not going to have healthcare, they're going to have
00:15:07terrible education, they're going to be forced to pay for genocide for the rest of our lives unless we
00:15:11change something before that happens and so we don't
00:15:15expect to have homes to be able to afford that, we don't expect to be able
00:15:19to afford families, we don't expect to be able to
00:15:23afford the future. is coming for us, if we do not
00:15:27do everything in our power to unite and change that from happening,
00:15:31because that future is something we not ever want to play a
00:15:35part of, and that is what I'm... fighting for
00:15:38really at end the
00:15:39the day, i realized that yeah, we could swing public opinion
00:15:43normally in the United States, but our democracy, so-called democracy would
00:15:47never listen to that, so we need a systemic change, and that is why i've been
00:15:51able, it's it's a motivator, and is also why i i
00:15:54expanded my um advocacy towards systemic
00:15:58change
00:15:58in the United States, because we can only
00:16:02liberate Palestine and ourselves
00:16:05conjointly and the only way to do that, right? voting for
00:16:09the Democrats or voting for the Republicans, neither parties ever going to end the system of
00:16:13imperialism, we have to be the ones to end it, and
00:16:16like we always say, nobody is free until Palestine is free, and I say
00:16:20Palestine is the key to everything, because it unlocked all these things for me, they gave me
00:16:24the link of liberation and resistance, it gave me the language of love, and I've been able
00:16:28to apply that to everything else in the world, do you see any real room
00:16:32for a change through that all these official US political channels, or is this
00:16:35completely lost its legitimacy? like what what are you
00:16:39anticipating with with what's with what's coming next because it's such
00:16:43difficult time and it's such a like
00:16:45you know the
00:16:46the the veneer has fallen and there is
00:16:49you know it's just more clear than ever with everything that's happened the last few years
00:16:53how how useless it is
00:16:55to um to expect
00:16:59change through these channels
00:17:01you know what i mean 100% i think what you
00:17:05i label that fascism
00:17:06in the united states - I label that fascism in the United States right,
00:17:10because one aspect of fascism is that it's open, it's the
00:17:13open terroristic dictatorship the most
00:17:16shovinistic, the most evil, the most excessive elements of finance
00:17:20capital, and who other uh is that than people like Elon
00:17:24Musk, people like Peter Teel, people like Alex Karp, people like
00:17:28Mark Andreesen, people like Howard Lutnick, those are finance
00:17:31capitalists and they are backing openly our current regime, but
00:17:35that mask began and... it fell really under the Biden regime where
00:17:39everyone saw, hey, well, as much as we are against this
00:17:43genocide, no matter what we do, we'll never get fair primary
00:17:46election to put an anti-zionist democratic candidate for president, we'll never be
00:17:50able even get a ceasefire or an arms embargo, get a single red line from the
00:17:54bin administration to the Israeli government, and i liked what you said
00:17:58about you, no matter what party we elect, they're never going to dismantle the
00:18:02system or go against it, and i think the best way again to
00:18:06illustrate this is through a... parison right now we have the connesset elections in
00:18:09Israel where there hasn't
00:18:11been a clear majority established so I believe you're gonna I don't how
00:18:15the negotiations are going to go but if they fail they go into another cycle
00:18:19of of parliamentary elections as they did between 2019 and
00:18:232022 which ended up with Netanyahu ending up top um right he
00:18:26stays in his very likely happen again yeah yeah
00:18:30precisely we understand as I think this is pretty general
00:18:34consensus right now that no matter who wins in israel not going to dismantle
00:18:38zionism, they're not going to dismantle apartide, they're not going to dismantle the IDF, there will be no
00:18:42reparations, they're not going to support suddenly a Palestinian state, none these things are going to
00:18:46actually change no matter who's in power, it just depends
00:18:49you know who's the face at the head of it, and why
00:18:53can't we understand the same thing for American elections, whether
00:18:57it's you know Joe Biden bombing Iran in two separate
00:19:00campaigns or Donald Trump doing it against Iran, although he has done
00:19:04a bigger way, whether it's Joe Biden facilitate. facilitating a genocide
00:19:08where he slaughters, god knows how much, over half
00:19:12million, i don't know what number you guys ascribe to, but there are so
00:19:16many heart-wrenching estimates out there,
00:19:19and trump comes in and he continues that
00:19:21genocide,
00:19:23you know wrapping it up, and and whether it's
00:19:27Obama putting kids in cages and destroying Libya, or it's Donald Trump
00:19:31putting kids and cages, the same exact policies domestic and foreign
00:19:34always exist in the United States, it's just that the democrat. get people
00:19:38to go back to branch and feel comfortable about themselves when the same people are
00:19:42being genocided and bombed and enslaved and
00:19:45oppressed and i think that if we're
00:19:49able to come to this conclusion about israely elections we should be able
00:19:53to do it here. speaking on palestine again like for us in west
00:19:57Asia when we are watching the US political landscape like it can
00:20:01feel surreal because we're watching all this palling being done, we're seeing all
00:20:05these videos, we're seeing data that's... this massive generational
00:20:09collapse in support for Israel, but we're not there on the ground,
00:20:13we're only experiencing this shift through the screen, but you from your position
00:20:16where you're you know you're organizing, you're actually there, you're
00:20:20directly speaking you know to lot of
00:20:24young Americans, so what does this shift look like in in daily life,
00:20:28like how has the consensus around Israel, around zionism
00:20:31fundamentally fractured among ordinary
00:20:34people, and how how how is it? I'm so
00:20:38curious, because it's just I have no idea, I'm seeing all
00:20:41this through a screen and we always say, oh, this massive
00:20:45shift of perception, but you know, I'm just curious to know
00:20:49how... how real and permanent is this shift? like now let's say
00:20:53Netanyahu is no longer in government and Israel gets
00:20:56rebranded and everyone around you like in your
00:20:59generation is not just going to be like oh it's okay now like it's much deeper than that I
00:21:03think I'm asking how do you yeah like in day-to-day
00:21:07life how do you it's permanent like it seems permanent but I would
00:21:11like to hear from you you know you're like I said earlier there
00:21:15is still work to do I think maybe maybe this is just me but my personal
00:21:19analysis was that we were further ahead a lot these like uh
00:21:22sub-topics about palestinian resistance and the way to combat and approach
00:21:26zionism, like you cannot and should not be morning the deaths of
00:21:29nazis, you should not be morning the deaths of IDF soldiers, this
00:21:33is something that we should be on the same page, we should be all on the same page that
00:21:37we are never in the position, especially as Americans, especially as a white American,
00:21:41never in the position to criticize how people resist or police how that happens,
00:21:45because I'm paying for that to happen, I'm paying for the oppression to happen,
00:21:49and I think... like there are certain things where people are maybe not so
00:21:52aligned on that, but I think the permanence of understanding
00:21:55zionism really uh, not just Israel,
00:21:59as a system that has to end because this is an ethno
00:22:02supremacist apartide, settler colonial project, you can
00:22:06throw all these words in in more genocidal project, um,
00:22:10that is not going away, no matter how many social media platforms they buy,
00:22:14Jenzi is is awakened to this
00:22:17issue, and no matter if they
00:22:19you know come to different. conclusions or go halfway or have some issues about the
00:22:23principles when it comes to those things, they're never going to say, well, I support Israel, I
00:22:26support the existence of a Jewish ethnos state that can enslave
00:22:30Palestinians in concentration camps, including children, like they would never
00:22:34ever say that, no matter how much promoganda you dump at them, no matter how
00:22:37many um YouTube adds Netanyahu's government funds to demonize
00:22:41Arab Muslims um and try to spark islamophobia
00:22:45to um raise up support for Israel by that
00:22:48extension uh the thing i'm referencing is that they did a poll um after
00:22:52Israel realized how massive their loss in international
00:22:56standing had become a couple years into this genocide and they asked well
00:23:00how what's the best way to get people to support Israel again and it wasn't even talking about Israel it
00:23:04was just demonizing muslims which shows you how far gone that
00:23:08they are on their own you know standing on their own two feet they can't
00:23:12even advocate for themselves anymore effectively and i think that's a huge
00:23:16shift and that's something that's not going to change uh no matter how many more headlines. they put
00:23:20out that dehumanize Palestinians and try to make Sab stories out of every
00:23:23single um 24-year-old man child IDF soldier who got what he
00:23:27deserves in Gaza
00:23:29and
00:23:33um so so I am hopeful for that and I and I think that it's
00:23:37very characteristic of what a lot of major scientist actors have been
00:23:41you know warning of amongst their uh
00:23:44partners uh for for for years um I think it's
00:23:48best characterized by the, i believe november
00:23:512023 phone call of jonathan greenblad the uh ADL
00:23:55where he said it's not a left versus right problem it's
00:23:58a young versus old problem they have all these old people are into the same
00:24:02television stations their whole life who have just totally programmed them to
00:24:05be reactionary to just listen to whatever the news anchors
00:24:09say and are so guess crystallized in their thinking
00:24:13not as crystallized as i thought apparently because there i i am meeting more and more old
00:24:17people who are on the right side of history when it comes to palestine. Israel and you
00:24:21you you and z was never crystallized, we had not formed or been programmed
00:24:24into this type of thinking to unconditionally support Israel no matter
00:24:28what, and they so very mallable, gens de was more
00:24:31malliable and there is an open like landscape of like with
00:24:35social media, it's just it's it's inevitable like you cannot you cannot
00:24:39be like you know indoctrinated, it's impossible um
00:24:43like it's just different, think a huge part is the abil
00:24:47not just like being able to see the footage of our war crimes, our
00:24:51American war crimes, Israel crimes, it's it's being able to see and
00:24:55talk to and interact with people from other nations
00:24:58instantly and understanding that we live really similar lives, we
00:25:02care about like the same exact things and material conditions, our healthcare, education, the
00:25:06ability of families and homes, um, and really
00:25:10like it's our governments who pit us against each other and the people who
00:25:13buy those governments pitting us against each other for endless war,
00:25:17exploitation and genocide, and I think it's way. people up and giving them
00:25:21a sort of international perspective that before could only be gained by actually
00:25:25going to those countries, it's so much easier for young people, especially to
00:25:28understand the things that we share in common with other people of our generation
00:25:32around the world and every other human being around
00:25:34the world, like the amount of solidarity we see today amongst um most
00:25:38Americans, especially young Americans with the Iranian people is
00:25:42incredible to see, and that's not something like
00:25:45that, I don't think would have happened four years ago, but it's something that
00:25:49naturally. happened because the way
00:25:53the conversation has been shifted so far a people's favor in the
00:25:57United States again off the backs and reaction to the
00:26:00genocide that was live streamed and Continue to be live
00:26:03streamed.
00:27:07كل

00:28:28it!

00:28:38learn,
00:28:47bye-bye, little
00:28:48rabbit,
00:28:57good job, lucky
00:28:59shot. You'll have
00:29:02yourself fine night on our
00:29:04money.

00:29:44مامانم میگه اسمش همیشه خلیج فارس
00:29:47بوده. ما بچه های خلیج
00:29:50فارسیم. اینجا برای ما فقط یه دریا
00:29:54نیست. هویتمونه.
00:29:58جایی که کنارش بازی می
00:30:00کنیم.
00:30:04روزیمونو ازش می گیریم.
00:30:08باهاش شادی می کنیم و با صداش آروم
00:30:10میشیم. جاییه که
00:30:14اجازه نزدیک شدن دشمنامونو بهش
00:30:18نمیدیم. و تا همیشه ازش محافظت می
00:30:22کنیم. خلیج فارس ما انگار یه کتاب
00:30:25تاریخه. هر کدوم از موجاش قصه های
00:30:29قدیمی سرزمینمونو تو دلش داره.
00:30:35خلیج فارس برای همه ما
00:30:37ایرانیاست.
