"This concept that's portrayed in the media is that the Palestinians don't want peace. 'The Palestinians need to just accept getting beat up and having their land stolen.' And it's a stupid concept... Not tell the world. Not try to make a movement."
"'You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.' This Malcolm X quote resonates deeply throughout the song 'Peace Without Freedom,' capturing the essence of the struggle for liberation."
"Though he didn't set out to make protest music, 'Peace Without Freedom' has become a rallying cry at anti-imperialist marches... Shiblaq indignantly raps: 'They gon' tryna take us off the map, but we're still holdin' on."
"Earlier this month, when Shiblaq headlined a fundraiser... teenagers in keffiyehs moshed and screamed along to the lyrics in a moment of joy and catharsis, showcasing the deep connection between music and activism."
