Sanamuayuk.

On behalf, yes, sir.

Sinawakim, the name of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful.

I want to thank you all the name of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful. I want to thank you all for braving the heat, for braving the despair,

for continuing to show up for an entire year.

I know some of you have been out in these streets,

week by week, sometimes multiple times a week, for an entire year.

And while we all know that we will never be able to equal the price that has been paid

by our people back home, it's still important to show gratitude to all of you who have

been consistent, to especially the students who have been consistent to especially the students

that have been on the front lines to especially the UTD 21 all of the organizations

we appreciate you now there's something strange about this particular anniversary.

And there's something strange that we have in this country about memorializing tragedy in the first place.

I was once having a conversation with a person who was telling me that their hope was that one day in Israel,

this was supposed to be a kind comment, in Israel that their hope was that one day in Israel, and this was supposed to be a kind comment,

in Israel that their children would read in their textbooks about the Nakhba.

And I responded and I said, I'd much rather that our children would be reading about the story of liberation

in their Palestinian textbooks.

Tragedy is often memorialized after the fact.
