Alon Mizrahi Israeli writer: He died an honorable death. A warrior’s death, among his men, one with his people, in defense of his land against a genocidal intruder, occupier, and colonizer.
The last episode of #Sinwar's life could not have been better written by the most gifted playwright: not in a tunnel, a secret bunker, or a far-off palace, and not while engaging in some unworthy act. He died resisting.
If there's one word I could think of to describe this ending, it is Hemingwayan. This was like a scene from a Hemingway novel about #Palestine (I have no doubt who Hemingway would support in this conflict).
Seeing it, I was reminded of the ending of For Whom the Bell Tolls, with the rebels holding positions on a hill with the fascists closing in on them with airplanes and machine guns, knowing they have no chance of surviving.
In his final moments, Sinwar knew that was it for him. But he did not break. A proud #Palestinian, Gazan, and Muslim to his last breath.
He was born in 1962 in #KhanYunis to a family of 1948 refugees from Al-Majdal; he was 5 when Israel occupied Gaza, and never let go to this day (but it will, eventually).
In his last act of defiance, he threw some debris at an #IDF drone, and I got to thinking: did he, as a young boy, also throw stones at IDF soldiers in Gaza?
What that #refugee who spent 22 years in an Israeli prison started on October 7 is going to change world history for good. The process is only in its initial phases.

Wars drive number of forcibly displaced people to record high, UN says
source: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/politics/un-war-gaza-ukraine-refugees-b2561917.html
The number stood at 117.3 million at the end of 2023 – with the UN’s #refugee agency saying it could reach 120 million in the near future
Doctors Without Borders:
⭕️Numerous military offensives in recent weeks have led to recurrent mass casualty influxes at #MSF-supported medical facilities in Rafah and the Middle Area of Gaza.
⭕️How can the killing of more than 800 people in a single week, including small #children, plus the maiming of hundreds more, be considered a military operation adhering to international #humanitarian law?,
⭕️ Israel repeatedly bombed so-called safe zones, #refugee camps, a school and multiple humanitarian warehouses, which were formally registered as ‘deconflicted’ by Israeli forces.
⭕️We call on Israel’s allies, including the #US, $UK, and #EU member states, to do everything in their power to influence Israel to stop attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza.

Nothing is Real
From very large and significant matters to very small and trivial ones, the media is constantly massaging your perceptions of reality:
#VanityFair #France has apologised after it was found to have #photoshopped an image of actor #GuyPearce, removing a pin of the #Palestinian #flag that he wore at the #Cannes Film Festival. The ‘Time Machine’ and ‘Prometheus’ star posed for a photo shoot wearing a #badge displaying the Palestinian flag on his jacket. The item was reportedly visible in the #French magazine edition of Vanity Fair, but absent from images shared by the publication’s website and #Instagram account.
Now, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter in the slightest if an #actor wears a #Palestine pin or not. But his doing so violates the #Narrative, which is that all good and right-thinking people support #Israel’s right to defend itself by #bombing #refugee #camps full of #women and #children situated on #foreign #territory, and therefore his action has to be disappeared before it reaches the public eye.
Never forget that if the #media is reporting it, it is almost certainly #false or #misleading in some way.
This is Jihad Khaled Abu Amer from Al Nuseirat #refugee camp in central Gaza. He was born during Israel's war on the besieged strip in 2021.
Today was supposed to be his 3rd birthday but Israel killed him last October to "defend itself".

#Belgium wants to strip #refugee status from Palestinian political leader Mohammed Khatib
Born in the Ain el-Helweh refugee camp in #Lebanon, Mohammed has been a refugee his entire life. Recently, on April 15th, 2024, Belgoum's Secretary for Asylum and Migration, Nicole De Moor, announced in a public statement that she would call on the Belgian immigration agency to withdraw the refugee status of Mohammed Khatib due to his political activity in the country as part of the Samidoun movement.
Every fucking country is supporting this genocide. It's just sickening.

[T]he #Christmas story actually is a Palestinian story, par excellence. It talks about a family in Nazareth, in the north of #Palestine, that is ordered by an imperial decree of the Romans to evacuate to Bethlehem, to go there and register. And this is exactly what our people in #Gaza has been experiencing these 75 days. It talks about Mary, the pregnant woman, on the run, exactly like 50,000 women in Gaza who are actually displaced. Jesus was born actually as a #refugee.
[…]
And you have this message that the angels declared here, “Glory to God in the highest, #peace on Earth”, which was actually a critique of the #empire, because glory belongs to the Almighty and not to the mighty. And the peace that #Jesus came to proclaim is not the peace, the Pax Romana, the peace that is based on #subjugation and #military operation, but on human #dignity, #equality and #justice. And this is actually what we call for.
