والد الشهيد جابر صلاح "جيكا" | Message from the martyr Gaber Salah "Jika"'s Father

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    Salah Gaber; Father of the martyr, Jika
  • 0:02 - 0:05
    I want to say something simple to people from the heart
  • 0:05 - 0:08
    Without too much emotion.
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    I'm calm now
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    I want to tell you
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    your blood is more precious than anything
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    your lives are more precious than anything
  • 0:19 - 0:23
    That doesn't mean we need to accept a reality that is unacceptable to us.
  • 0:23 - 0:27
    That doesn't mean we should submit to things we don't want.
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    Gaber, Salah Gaber, that's Jika
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    is brother Morsy's first martyr.
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    He'll say something different, he'll say what he wants
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    But we, when they shoot our children with live ammunition and shotguns
  • 0:40 - 0:44
    so there's 40 pellets in his head, aside from those in the chest and lungs
  • 0:44 - 0:45
    That's barbaric.
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    There's nothing beyond that.
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    What will get Jika justice is if the Egyptian people understand he died for them.
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    Jika was 16 years old, people.
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    He didn't want a seat in parliament
  • 0:55 - 0:56
    or to
  • 0:56 - 0:58
    - he was 16
  • 0:59 - 1:03
    He saw his friends and brothers killed - 9 killed next to him.
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    He was the first to celebrate Morsy.
  • 1:08 - 1:12
    Look at him on Facebook, doing this, he's the only one up on people's shoulders.
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    Cheering for Morsy.
  • 1:13 - 1:16
    I said to him 'Gaber you're cheering for Morsy, Morsy's not what you think'.
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    And how.
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    Morsy killed him.
  • 1:20 - 1:21
    He's the first martyr of Morsy's government.
  • 1:21 - 1:22
    And the rest is yet to come.
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    I'll be there on Tuesday
  • 1:25 - 1:28
    I'll be there with you in the square.
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    We all have to be there.
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    Or we can hand over our country and leave.
  • 1:33 - 1:37
    Or we submit to Morsy's declaration that gives him impunity to murder -
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    Jika's not the first and he won't be the last
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    Everyone will be taken, will be arrested
  • 1:41 - 1:44
    And the President who thinks he's God,
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    who gives the orders
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    who has surpassed the Prophet Mohamed, peace be upon him.
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    Even the Prophet Mohamed made mistakes
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    I even heard it from one of them, from Sheikh Qaradawi.
  • 1:56 - 2:01
    If even the Prophet Mohamed made mistakes, how can we let Morsi have all these powers?
  • 2:01 - 2:06
    He could wake up crazy in the morning and make a decision that ruins the country.
  • 2:06 - 2:09
    Without consulting with anyone.
  • 2:09 - 2:14
    He could wake from a dream and go strike Israel, and Israel will strike back and the country will be in flames
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    Today a new tyrant arrived.
  • 2:17 - 2:19
    He said "I'm not a wearing a [bullet-proof] vest'
  • 2:19 - 2:22
    No, we're wearing vests
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    But our vests are from God
  • 2:24 - 2:28
    If we're to be killed, we'll be killed as we sit...
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    And if God protects us he protects us.
  • 2:31 - 2:33
    And after you've killed our children there's nothing left
  • 2:33 - 2:35
    You'll kill us, so what?
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    Once you've drunk the blood of Egyptians you're finished.
  • 2:38 - 2:41
    Egyptians' blood is sweet, like sugar.
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    But watch out, you won't be able to stop.
  • 2:43 - 2:47
    You'll kill a second, a third, a fourth time
  • 2:47 - 2:51
    I'm telling you: you've given orders to kill now
  • 2:51 - 2:55
    People will die.
  • 2:56 - 3:05
    If you still believe in God, fear him
  • 3:05 - 3:09
    We will never create another Pharaoh,
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    who can say 'be' and so it is.
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    The whole world's taken aback,
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    asking what he's doing.
  • 3:16 - 3:17
    The whole world.
  • 3:17 - 3:19
    That European loan he was so pleased with
  • 3:19 - 3:21
    telling us we've achieved something!
  • 3:21 - 3:23
    We borrowed it.
  • 3:23 - 3:26
    They'll take it back from you tomorrow.
  • 3:26 - 3:27
    The achievement.
  • 3:27 - 3:31
    I say to the people in Tahrir, stand firm, you're in the right.
  • 3:31 - 3:34
    Just stay peaceful.
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    We're not murderers like them.
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    They think it's OK to shed blood.
  • 3:41 - 3:44
    We won't meet God with blood on our hands.
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    Leave them to meet God with blood on their hands.
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    Let them burn in hell.
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    I'm ready - you're not wearing a vest and neither am I.
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    You can kill me.
  • 3:54 - 3:56
    You can kill me if you want.
  • 3:57 - 3:59
    But you can't kill me unless God wills it.
  • 3:59 - 4:05
    Not you, not your people, not your Army, not your police.
  • 4:05 - 4:07
    None of those can kill me.
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    I'll die on the day God chose for me.
