cause and SISTAR's home rates up friends
assalamo alaikum WA Rahmatullah vodka
no and then how I wish there were more
people
could have hurt
but soliloquy that you just made how I
wish
[Music]
there were more Manchester members of
parliament or even any Manchester
members of parliament here to have held
the soliloquy how I wish
there are politicians have been here
remember with all respect to those who
came though all of them came from
outside of the city of Manchester
shame on them shame with them and they
are the losers because I was just
reflecting with my drama mama Shafiq but
the last time we shared the platform
together was on this very same subject
in this very same city five years ago it
was a very small crowd
and this thing people had the excuse
that they didn't know what they were
talking about
but nobody now has that excuse because
everybody knows what's going on and when
you can actually watch in real time live
on television they see of murder and
misery that the Muslims in Burma are
facing it makes you break the
indifference of the purple of the
political class
in the face of all of this I have been
involved in this particular subject for
many years this didn't begin when the
BBC show up on this latest Lehrer
when me and mother literally became
general sight
what's the definition of demo site it's
an attempt to eradicate to annihilate to
remove permanently for all time a group
of people a category of people based
only and internally on who and what they
are not on anything that they have done
and as the man said so portly a few
minutes ago
give the faceless fact the Hindi Albion
mother because they are Muslims that's
all and even less the world is silent
because they are Muslims
that's another sad melancholy truth
they're being muzzled by a regime in
military filter which has been in power
since 1962 imagine when the Beatles were
at the top of the truck and the Beatles
of 40 years dead and they're still in
power
and the reason that the skin part is
because big business and the big powers
have profited mightily from the
resources and the labels of the people
of Norma
but this military junta was in need of
some cosmetic right now and it funded
the former darling of the world's
liberals the Nobel Peace Prize winner
nonsense Sookie
has volunteered to be the lipstick on
the pain of burmese fascism but what she
is and I say to all those places who
giveth freedom of the city I say to the
Nobel Committee it's time to name this
woman what she is an accomplice to the
genocide offering your people in Burma
[Applause]
now let me deal with against something
brother of man said early in this
meeting the entirely circular absurdity
of Britain giving 25 million bones to
help the refugees was our armed forces
are in Burma training the very people
who are wandering the Wrangell people
changing the villages on fire sending
them in the hundreds of thousands into
the mud of the blood of the path the
century in one of the poorest countries
in the world Bangladesh with paying
money to the victims of a carving which
we ourselves are training and we
ourselves are helping to earn how crazy
is that
and if we have any politicians here we
can ask them to raise that but we don't
and so they want
and one of the reasons why there's
another of these specific points I came
here today to make the biggest military
collaborator with the Burmese regime is
another no religious supremacist state
the so-called state of israel israel is
Burma's best friend
why because both regimes believe they
have some god-given right to supremacy
and the right to ethnically cleanse any
minority from their land and to steal
the land and to exploit it it's no
accident that Israel and Burma are so
close because they think the same that
the others are less than them the
dealers are less than human the
Billboard is worth less than theirs and
so they can spin it with impunity and so
far they have stilted a notion of it
with impunity and that's the real
hello fact
[Music]
unless we can build
unless we can build a movement ten ten
thousand times bigger than this throw
hinder will continue to bleed and they
will never go home I've been here before
for forty five years I've been fighting
for the Palestinian people raising my
voice demanding that they have the right
to return home but they may never they
may never return home and the four
hundred thousand Rohingya now living
under a plastic sheet if they can buy it
and I mean buy it
no one's giving them a plastic sheet
under which to live in the rain and the
Sun they will never go home unless we
can change the political paradigm the
political balance which exists in the
world unless we can build a movement
that says the politicians don't ask me
for my vote until you tell me what
you've done for the things that matter
to me until we can build that movement
these perfectly magic people will
continue to suffer we must pray and
prayer is important
for the salvation of these poor people
there is important it's necessary but
it's not sufficient it's men who are
carrying out these crimes it's men who
are arming them to carry out these
crimes it's men who are facilitating
them to carry out these crimes and it's
men we have to force to change formats
to drive for justice to add man and his
brothers and sisters who make this rally
possible zero marks to those who didn't
come one salam-o-alaikum Arabic Allah
[Applause]
[Music]
this is the sort of the movement the
movement for peace the movement for
unity the movement for demanding justice
