During the Annual Walk for Al-Quds in Toronto, Canada on May 31, Nasim Agari, who was born in Tehran, told an interviewer that she does not consider herself to be Canadian because Canada is a “white-supremacist, colonialist, racist project,” much like Israel.

Agari describes herself as a poet and an artist, and is currently studying human rights and equity studies at York University.

Hussein Mujtahdi, a student at the Islamic Seminary in Qom, Iran, said that more countries will join in solidarity with the Palestinians and that Israel will “certainly” be destroyed within 25 years because “injustice and all oppressors are doomed.”
