Hatem Bazian
At LGF is a transcription of remarks made by UC Berkeley Lecturer Hatem Bazian at a “peace” rally in San Francisco on Saturday.
Here is a link to a video of Bazian calling for an intifada in the US, and related videos.
Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Well, we’ve been watching intifada in Palestine, we’ve been watching an uprising in Iraq, and the question is that what are we doing? How come we don’t have an intifada in this country?
Because it seem[s] to me, that we are comfortable in where we are, watching CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, and all these mainstream… giving us a window to the world while the world is being managed from Washington, from New York, from every other place in here in San Francisco: Chevron, Bechtel, [Carlyle?] Group, Halliburton; every one of those lying, cheating, stealing, deceiving individuals are in our country and we’re sitting here and watching the world pass by, people being bombed, and it’s about time that we have an intifada in this country that change[s] fundamentally the political dynamics in here.
And we know every– They’re gonna say some Palestinian being too radical — well, you haven’t seen radicalism yet!
