Israel’s short term successes will not deter Palestinians

Hamas is a liberation movement led by people looking for freedom and dignity, and this cannot be eliminated.”

Moments after Israel announced the death of Hamas chief, the mastermind of the October 7 attack on Israel, the Israeli military released drone footage showing Yahya Sinwar’s final moments. Covered in dust and his arm amputated, Sinwar is seen throwing a stick at the drone — with several social media users describing it as a lasting image of his final act of defiance against Israel.

Netanyahu, Israel’s lawless leader, and the leader of Zionist terror, celebrated. On one occasion, he announced that the war will now be over but back tracked pretty soon. Joe Biden did the same. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthos , Islamic Jihad, PFLP, Al Qassam brigades are not a sheer rag-tag group waiting to surrender at the first pretext. Freedom and justice will impel their struggle until they have achieved their goals. In contrast to the images Israel put out which were published by the Israeli army allegedly shows Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar’s last moments. The video contradicts the narrative Israel constructed about Sinwar hiding out in the depths of Hamas’ tunnel network under Gaza. From the photos and videos the occupation released, it would appear the opposite is true, he died on the front line in military fatigues, still trying to fight despite being badly wounded.

Netanyahu puts on a brave face and is obfuscating nervousness about his own personal and political future having indulged in criminalities which most likely will see him spend jail time once he steps down. By contrast Basem Naim, senior member of Hamas’ politburo has declared .”Hamas is a liberation movement led by people looking for freedom and dignity, and this cannot be eliminated.”

As an international community, we must salute these courageous martyrs, whether young, senior, women, or children, and fight more to strengthen the cause of freedom and liberation for Palestine.
