A speaker at the rally recited a poem. Here is a portion of it (originally in Arabic):

We are your youth, Palestine
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
A gift from Allah and even more
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
Oh Oh Palestine
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
I swear by Allah that I'll carry out [armed] operations
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
Against the Zionists
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
So I will raise the flag of freedom
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
In the name of Arab [City of] Al-Quds [Jerusalem]
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
Oh mom, give me the rifle
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
And give me 500 [bullets]
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
The Kalashnikov [AK47 rifle] is ready
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
Behind me the fighters [ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of Allah]
[Crowd:] Oh Oh Palestine
