leah

maybe i am delirious after 30 days of fasting, but i am sitting in my room sobbing about how the land gives back to the people who love it and nurture it, how it reassures them of their oneness, how it cradles them after years of suffering with them. I AM SOBBING AT THIS.

This is my will and my final message. If my words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. God knows that I have given all my effort and strength to be a support and a voice for my people since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that God would grant me life to return with my family and loved ones to our original town of Ashkelon (Al-Majdal), occupied land. But God’s will was swifter, and His decree is binding. I lived pain in all its details, tasted grief and loss repeatedly, yet I never hesitated to convey the truth as it is—without distortion or falsification—hoping God would bear witness against those who remained silent, those who accepted our killing, those who besieged our breaths, and whose hearts were not moved by the shattered bodies of our children and women, nor did they stop the massacre our people have faced for more than a year and a half. I entrust you with Palestine, the jewel of the Muslim world and the pulse of every free heart in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its innocent children who were not granted 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, their remains scattered on the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward liberating the land and the people until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you with my family. I entrust you with the apple of my eye, my beloved daughter, Sham, whom fate did not allow me to see grow as I dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son, Salah, whom I wished to support and accompany until he grew strong, carrying my burden and continuing the mission. I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose prayers were the reason I reached where I did. Her supplications were my fortress, and her light my path. I pray God to ease her heart and reward her abundantly on my behalf. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah Bayan, from whom war separated us for long days and months, but who remained faithful, steadfast like an olive tree trunk that never bends, patient and devout, carrying the trust in my absence with strength and faith. I urge you to gather around them and be their support after God Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast on my principles, bearing witness to God that I am satisfied with His decree, believing in meeting Him, and certain that what is with God is better and everlasting. O God, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path to freedom for my people and family. Forgive me if I fell short, and pray for me mercy, for I have remained true to the covenant, never changing or betraying it. Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your good prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what Anas ordered to be published upon his martyrdom.

Israel murdered Palestinian journalist Anas al Sharif. I remember this video, with Anas exhausted bc of hunger and pain of witnessing almost two years of genocide, and the people telling him to keep going because he was their voice. الله يرحمه و ويجعل مثواه الجنة 💔🇵🇸

IT'S NOT NORMAL for a 23 year old to write his own eulogy because he knows he’s going to be targeted and killed these kids aren't biblical figures they deserve to be stupid in their 20s and fall in love and have families and grow old like anyone else this isn't normal

That is a Palestinian child burnt alive by Israel. This isn’t self defense. It’s terrorism. It’s genocide. It’s murder.

Their father Mohamed Abu al-Qumsan had gone to get their birth certificates. When he returned, he found his wife and the twins killed by an Israeli missile that struck their home. The ink on their birth certificates is barely dry and now he has to process their death certificates

The way JK Rowling is gleefully going after a c*s woman for the crime of having higher testosterone levels, but not said a word about an actual convicted child rapist taking part in the Olympics says everything about her real thoughts on “protecting women”

They murdered Palestinian journalist Ismael Al Ghoul in a direct strike on his car. There is a photo of him inside.. with his press vest with no head. Israel is a murderous machine. All it knows how to do is kill kill kill.
