almost arrested at a border crossing

So, a few weeks ago I was almost arrested at the Israel Border Control. Let's talk about it

I was debating about not actually talking about this topic because, to be honest, it was the most

humiliating, degrading and scary experience of my entire life. I'm fully aware that this video

may get taken down and also my social media is shut down, but it's a topic we have to talk about

and it's a topic that should be widely spoken about. But before I get into the topic about me

we need to give some context about what actually is happening, the truth about what is happening

in this part of the world. Since attacks heightened last year in 2021 and throughout 2022 I've seen

countless reports by news channels, not only news channels but huge news channels in a false way

about what truly is going on. Palestinians are facing daily bombardment from the apartheid state

and one of those bombardments is at the Al-Aqs Mosque which is the third most holiest site

in the Islamic faith. Both in 2021 and during 2022 the apartheid state fired rubber bullets

at people praying within Al-Aqsa Mosque. These aren't just rubber bullets. These are steel bullets with just a one centimetre thick rubber coating

that is enough to inflict humongous pain and also will cause numerous hundreds of deaths

Zionism is Israel national identity and Zionists believe that Judaism is a nationality as well as a religion and Jews deserve a right to belong to their ancestral home Let talk about the law of return The law of return

was passed on the 5th of July in 1950 and it gives Jews the right to relocate and build homes

in Israel. Section one of the law to return declares that every Jew has the right to return

to Israel as an Ola, which means immigrant. They started building settlements after 1967 following

a free confiscation of land and who did they take this land from? Palestinians. The airport and all

borders are controlled by the apartheid state. Gaza is currently under siege which means it's an area

of two million people that can't escape. They are provoking and attacking residents in Sheikh Jarrah

which is a crucial area of land which Israelis want to take. When is this going to end

I flew to Tel Aviv from Greece because I wanted to spend some of my Ramadan in this blessed part of the world

I landed and then proceeded to border control where they then asked me to sit down to answer a few questions

A few minutes later I was taken into the back room which is to the right of the immigration

where I was then proceeded to be interrogated, assaulted and verbally attacked for the next six hours

So when you enter the room you are asked to sign a piece of paper Which basically means you are only speaking the truth the entire time which of course I signed They asked me questions about my previous relationships explicit questions about my previous relationships my childhood and my religion

I then had to explain in depth my previous three years of travelling in detail, the exact dates, the exact locations and the exact people I've met throughout this entire time

For me, honestly, I didn't have an issue with them asking me questions about my travelling

I expected this from immigration but what I did not expect was six hours of persecution against

my faith my childhood or my previous relationships so six hours six hours later after being screamed

out assaulted and attacked over the dumbest questions about my religion especially my religion

they were fixated upon my religion which I've honestly never experienced before and it gave me

taste of what Muslims around the world truly experience at border controls. They called me a

liar and continuously were asking me why I was hiding something so after six hours I have had

enough. I said to them, I laid back in my chair and I said look I don't want to answer any more of

your questions. These are the dumbest questions I've ever had to experience. Immigration had no

right to ask me about anything during my childhood, anything about my previous relationships, anything

like that and it was horrible. It was really really awful so after that I said look I've

had enough and I went and proceeded to book a flight and I left What happened in that room I not going to go into too much detail was traumatic Really really traumatic and the worst experience I ever had in my entire life

And I never want anybody else in this world to experience what I went through

It was really, really awful. And it's taken me three weeks now after it happened to even come on camera and talk about it

And this is also why I haven't uploaded onto this channel for a little while

because I honestly just haven't been that emotionally stable after it. It was really awful

I almost went home just to rest and kind of get my headspace back to the original weight

because it really took me down to a place that I never ever want to go down to ever again

Look, this was one experience, one six-hour experience I've had. I can't even imagine what it's like to experience that every single day

to be living in this nightmare. and to be persecuted every single day

with the fear of someone taking your land over nothing. And I hope that in the future

Palestinians can freely live their life that they want to live without the fear of people taking their homes, violence or persecution

Palestine, I'm with you every single day. You know that. And I will continue to fight for this cause forever

Thank you for watching. See you in the next video
