Gaza protester: 'We won't give up on the blood they gave'

GAZA- Wadee Masri, a 52-year-old Palestinian participating in protests in Gaza on Monday, told MEE contributor Hind Khoudary that he marched "to prove that I am a person that has rights to return to my land".

"We have a right to return. We have to prove this to the world that this is our land," he said. "Celebrations today in Jerusalem make me feel sad for what the USA did against the Palestinians. There is no peace without Jerusalem. We will live and die fighting for Jerusalem."

Masri said he would be back on Tuesday to protest on Nakba Day.

"A lot of Palestinians died today for the sake of Palestinians peacefully protesting. We won't give up on the blood they gave," he said.
