Sixth Straight Pro-Palestine, Anti-Israel Rally Held in Nashville

Another “All Out For Palestine Peace Rally” took place on Saturday at Centennial Park in Nashville.

Saturday’s rally marked the sixth straight weekend of pro-Palestine demonstrations in downtown Nashville amid the terrorist group Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel that left around 1,200 people dead.

The rally, organized by the organization Nashville Youth for Palestine, was the first of the six organized by a different group other than the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Prior to the rally, Nashville Youth for Palestine urged protesters planning on attending the demonstration to bring banners, signs, flags, posters, and wear keffiyehs.

The group also published a post on Instagram prior to the rally with a “Do’s and Don’ts” list for attendees to follow as well as a rundown of different chants planned for the rally.

The chants advertised by the group include:

  • “Ceasefire Now!”
  • “Free free Palestine! – Free free Gaza!”
  • “Gaza, Gaza, don’t you cry – Palestine will never die!”
  • “Justice, Justice is our demand – No peace on stolen land!”
  • “Gaza must have food and water – Israel, Stop, Stop the slaughter!”
  • “Netanyahu what do you say? – How many kids did you kill today?”
  • “1, 2, 3, 4 – Occupation out the door! 5,6,7,8 Israel is a terror state.”
  • “Palestine is our demand …No peace on stolen land!”
  • “Hey hey, ho ho! …occupation has got to go!”
  • “Israel Israel you can’t hide!…. You’re committing genocide!”
  • “Not another nickel, not another dime – no more money for Israel’s crimes!”
  • “Say it loud, say it clear, we want justice everywhere!”
  • “Viva viva palestina!”
  • “No more hiding no more fear genocide is crystal clear!”
  • “Building settlements is a crime – Bibi should be doing time!”

In addition to the above list of chants, a live-stream posted on social media by freepalinashville from Saturday’s rally shows the protesters marching down West End chanting the anti-Israel slogans, “From the sea to the river, Palestine will live forever,” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

Yes, Every Kid

The organization also announced partnering with Jerusalem Reebar, a Palestinian-owned restaurant, for the rally. The business has pledged to donate 25 percent of all proceeds it generates during the event to Palestine.

    The enemy is within. If the FIB actually did their job, everyone at this pogrom who has overstayed a visa or is in the country illegally should have already been rounded up and deported.

    This is Hamas’ 4H club.
