On April 29, a video was uploaded to the Joe Friendly YouTube channel of the Al-Quds Day rally held in New York City. At the rally, American human rights Lawyer Lamis Deek said that all Palestinians are freedom fighters and that the “resistance” axis consisting of Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the PFLF, the IRGC’s Quds Force, and similar organizations is fighting not only for the liberation of Palestine, but for the protection of all people who suffer from the “global threat” posed by Israel. She said that Israel is a “mobilizer” of an oppressive global “machine” and that the “war of liberation” is coming.

She called for the dismantlement of Zionist “settler groups that are mobilizing war crimes in Palestine” and for the confrontation of “war corporations.” In addition, she said that no safe haven should be left for those who “seek to revive apartheid,” and she led the crowd in chanting: “Free Palestine! No justice, no peace!” Within Our Lifetime activist Nerdeen Qisawani also led the crowd in the chant: “Palestine will be free by any means necessary!” For more about Nerdeen Qiswani, see MEMRITV clips Nos. 9471, 9014, 8932, 8113, 7628, 6311, 6100, and 5560.
