Sinwar resisted to the end, fighting off the Israelis with grenades and even with his hand blown off by a tank shell.
Yahya Sinwar, a hero of colonial resistance, spent 22 years in an Israeli prison before becoming one of Hamas’ most skillful strategists. His defiance against Israeli forces culminated in his tragic demise. Despite being targeted relentlessly by Israel, Sinwar chose to fight until the very end, embodying the spirit of resistance against occupation.
As western media vilifies figures like Sinwar, the reality of Israel’s systematic atrocities and war crimes cannot be ignored. The ongoing genocide in Palestine, endorsed and fueled by political powers, sheds light on the urgent need for accountability and justice.
Amidst the chaos, the bravery of individuals like Sinwar stands as a beacon of hope for a future where oppressive regimes are held accountable and the voices of the marginalized are heard.
