Speakers at the Iran's International Al-Quds Day rally held in Houston, Texas, in front of the Israeli consulate on April 5, 2024 praised the October 7 attack, martyrdom, Jihad, and resistance. A female speaker referenced Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah's speech from March 29, 2024. She said that Nasrallah wanted this audience to recognize that "martyrdom is good, martyrdom is a goal. [...] martyrdom is Jihad."
Another speaker referenced the words of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, saying that Zionism is a cancerous tumor, which must be destroyed. The event's master of ceremonies led the crowd in chants: "Resistance is the only way!" "Flood of Al-Aqsa, Flood of Al-Aqsa! We are with the Intifada! On the streets we will flood... Honoring the Martyrs' blood!" Participants chanted: "HPD [Houston Police Department], KKK, IDF – they're all the same!"
Videos from the rally were posted on Sayed Sarim's YouTube channel. Participants in the rally wore t-shirts emblazoned with "Flood of the Free" the slogan chosen by the Iranian regime for the 2024 International Al-Quds Day. Houston Al-Quds Day rallies have traditionally been organized and advertised by the Houston Islamic Education Center. Three participants in the rally were arrested and charged with interfering with a Houston Police Department officer.
