“My son didn’t die in vain. This was his sacrifice for our homeland, for Palestine.” These were the words of Amal Al-Durrah, mother of 12-year-old Muhammad Al-Durrah, following his martyrdom on September 30, 2000.
26 years ago today right after the Al-Aqsa Intifada began two days earlier, Muhammad was murdered in cold blood in Gaza by occupation forces as his father held him in his arms.
Footage of Muhammad’s final moments as his father attempted to shield him was captured by Palestinian cameraman Talal Abu Rahma and broadcast around the world by the news outlet France 2, sparking global outrage and condemnation.
Talal Abu Rahma later recounted, “There were a lot of calls and investigations with me about how true the images were. I had one answer for them. The camera doesn’t lie.”
On October 15, 2023, 23 years after Muhammad was murdered, Jamal Al-Durrah’s other son, two of his bothers, his sister-in-law and his niece were murdered in an airstrike by the genocidal zionist entity in which more than fifty of his family members were massacred.
Today we join Palestinians across Palestine and around the world in honoring Muhammad Al-Durrah and all of Palestine’s martyrs. In their memory the struggle for liberation and return within our lifetime continues.
The world owes Hamas for they did great service to humanity by exposing the deepyl ingrained rot in west. Sinwar did what no one else could as he knew his sacrifice would one day bear fruit and today is that day. No one buys colonizers fake tears anymore.
Creating songs born out of “gratitude” to thank your fans for buying your critically panned album & setting useless records to spite the haters is a really hollow place to make art from & I really wish she would define her career by something other than being a bitter reactionary
Breaks my heart that he’s yet another child who’s life was taken by this genocide. But glory to him and every martyr. At just 16 he had more courage in his tiny hands more than the cowards dropping 2,000 pound bombs from the sky. Martyred honoring a land that is rightfully his ❤️
Judaism is a colonial ideology rooted in eugenics supremacy. The idea that anyone is God's chosen people and have rights to land either by religious affiliation or birth is fascism!
the solidarity by artists pulling out of ed sheeran’s tour is a watershed moment in the Palestinian-led cultural boycott movement. it will always be bittersweet & heart-hurting because such public shifts came at the cost of Palestinian lives. glory to the martyrs and survivors
