I say to those misled by deceptive media claims that Hamas is a terrorist movement; it is a liberation movement for Palestinian lands, and its fighters are freedom fighters resisting Zionist occupation. Western media tends to demonize anyone who disagrees with its views or opposes its agendas.
As a reminder, Nelson Mandela established the Spear of the Nation movement (uMkhonto we Sizwe) in 1961 to fight and resist British occupation in South Africa and fight against apartheid. This movement was labeled as a terrorist organization, and many of its leaders, including Mandela, were imprisoned. After 30 years, South Africa was liberated, and Mandela, once considered a terrorist, became a global advocate for peace, awarded for his anti-occupation and anti-racism efforts.
Resistance against occupiers, in any time or place, is what prevails in the end, regardless of the duration.
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.
Israel and its backers didn’t just kill journalists tonight, they struck at humanity’s collective memory. When you silence those who bear witness, you erase the truth and rewrite history in blood.
We mourn the tremendous loss of our Al Jazeera colleagues.
Пусть земля будет пухом. 🙏🏼
The Israelis have murdered Al Jazeera’s Anas al-Sharif. The fucking bastards. I’m sorry but I’m enraged. They’d been threatening this for a while. Anas was so courageous and brought a special emotion and depth to his reports. He was our eyes. And that’s why they killed him.
Zionism is not defense.
Zionism is the systematic killing of Palestinians—by bombs, by bullets, and now by famine.
Babies are dying with no milk. Aid is blocked.Starvation is used as a weapon.
This is not war.
This is genocide.
The world must rise.
#EndZionistCrimes#GazaFamin
Gaza is starving—not by nature, but by Zionist design.
Food is blocked. Aid convoys are bombed. Children die , and the world whispers.
🔴 This is genocide through hunger.
Speak. Share. Shout.
Silence is complicity.
#GazaFamine#EndZionistSiege#FreePalestin
Over half a million people in Gaza face catastrophic hunger.
Children are dying from starvation in 2025.
This is not a drought. It’s a siege.
Food is being blocked. Aid is being bombed.
🔴 This is famine by design.
The world must act now.
#GazaFamine#LetGazaLive#EndTheSiege
Gaza is not just starving. Gaza is being forgotten.
Babies cry with no milk. Mothers boil leaves to feed their children. Fathers dig through rubble, not for shelter—but for food.
This is not a natural disaster.
This is a man-made famine.
The world cannot stay silent.
I believe that the strength of the people of Gaza and the Palestinian resistance has surpassed by far what we have read or heard about previous resistance movements in various parts of the world.
🇵🇸🇮🇱 How Was Israel Formed?
These men who took part in the Nakba will tell you:
"He grabbed a woman, young and good looking, went into a house, prepared a bedroom and wanted to fu** her."
"The girl came back half dead, like a rag."
"One guy raped there a sixteen year old girl or something of the sort." *he says while smiling.*
"Some guys took flamethrowers and ran after people and incinerated them."
Do you think the historical portrayal of the German Nazi Party has been distorted because of their anti-Zionist stance and exposure of the Zionist lobby’s danger in Germany? 🤔
"Don't forget that the victor is the one who writes history."
This is what the Zionist terrorist army did today by killing innocent children, women, and civilians without any crime. And the world remains silent in the face of these violations and the genocide they are committing against the Palestinian people... It is a disgrace to humanity and a disgrace to all human rights💔💔💔
