She Who

The National puts every other UK newspaper to shame. Fearless journalism driven by integrity, moral clarity and backbone. Take some notes @guardian

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. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.

@santosalunke @BCCI @ECB_cricket My heart rate is only just recovering after that final hour

Test cricket kept alive. #ENGvsIND was a phenomenal series. Nail-biting finishes- Runs, wickets, catches emotions, sledging, sportsmanship, playing with broken foot, dislocated shoulder, the grit. The true 'masala' 😊🏏 @BCCI @ECB_cricket

Palestinians in Gaza are in desperate and urgent need of help as the forced famine worsens! Every donation no matter how small and every retweet and quote makes a difference. Donate and share

Eating rice with my fingers. Like we do. Hum to bhai aise hain. Aise hi rahenge

@husnejahaan I thought it was out of respect for the plane crash. They had a minute’s silence at the start of day 1 as well

Why are England players wearing that black arm band?

@mkhanpasha Don’t i know it

@she__who the amla lobby has gotten to you

Inam Uncle’s Iranian colleague had digestive issues. “You know this berry?” he said; “we call it amla.” She’d never heard of it. “It is gooseberry” he said. She started laughing her head off. He asked her why. “Gooz in Farsi means fart. Is that why it is good for digestion?”

Western feminism is dropping bombs on Iranian women so they don’t have to wear a hijab

@HenrysFaveWife @BBCSport And somehow Linekar was a problem.

Again I'm asking @BBCSport why this disinformation merchant is allowed to post her own hateful political opinions and remain part of your on-screen team. Would really appreciate a response to this

@RevRichardColes Me too!

8 years. 2,922 days since our loved ones were taken from us. Still no justice. Now they're demolishing the Tower. Trying to erase history. But we will never forget. Walk with us tonight at the Silent Walk to show those responsible we won't stop until justice is served.

The names of thousands of children killed in Gaza were read out by dozens of artists at a vigil in central London today. Steve Coogan told our lead world news presenter @SkyYaldaHakim it's time for 'action'. trib.al/iQaCHqB

What a despicable world.

The health ministry has released a new 1,000-page document with the names, ages and other info, of 52,959 Palestinians killed in Gaza. For the first 100 pages (over 5,000 names), the age is listed at 5 years or younger. The first 18 pages the age is listed as 0 (under 1 year)

Graham Norton telling on them not playing the crowd noises.... #Eurovision

We are watching a people being slaughtered and exterminated on our smartphones.. and we are doing nothing. The whole world is complicit in this genocide. 💔

Gaza right now

Israel shoots paramedics “one by one” and dumps them in a mass grave theguardian.com/world/2025/mar…

They started the ground offensive on Eid. A nasty nation.
