#butcher of khan younis

[that-rad-jewish-girl]

I know these protestors don’t give a rat’s ass about Palestinians. I knew this since Oct. 7th, but I feel recent happenings help put the nail in the coffin.

Sinwar is dead. And these people celebrate him as a hero, a warrior, and a leader in “the cause”.

This man was nicknamed the “butcher of Khan Younis”. Over many years, he’s been killing Palestinians on suspicion of colluding against Hamas. In 2019, Palestinians marched in the “We Want to Live” Gaza protest against Hamas’ rule. Sinwar helped lead the security crackdown on these protestors. They spray-fired into the crowd, killing several people. They rounded up most others and tortured them for going against Hamas.

No one cared about them then. And no one cares about them now. You didn’t care when Palestinians were fighting for their lives against Hamas in 2019. And now, you celebrate a man as a war hero who was known to torture and slaughter Palestinians.

This fake activist shit in the west is getting old.

You'r eunder no obligation to reply but I'd like to ask, how do you keep your head up these days considering the genocide? It's been nearly five months now, my entire family is giving up the stirke and falling into propoganda, and every time i think "surely this is the end, no way the us will keep supporting this, israel is on limited time" i keep seeing no end in my twitter feed to the countless losses, i keep seeing gore and childrens butchered on my tiktok. i dont wanna lose hope or faith but ive started feeling so depressed these days that i dont even wanna open my social media because i know what ill see. it might sound selfish but i hope i can open up my tiktok and see silly little people doing trends again instead of seeing one between 6 posts asking to use filters so that they can donate and detailing the necessities that israel banned from palestine and it just feels so soul crushing and hopeless. it makes me feel worse because if im tired of it then how do palestanians cope being in it? if you have any tips or good news id be grateful

hi anon. A lot of what Palestinians report first-hand is graphic, and horrifying, and would contribute to that soul-crushing feeling. But they are so tenacious, they have so much love for their people, their country. Often, Bisan or Motaz or Plestia when she was still in Gaza will share little slices of joy from displaced Palestinians. It reinvigorates me, and I'll often return to watch them when things seem dire.

A baby in Gaza, blessedly unaware of the horrors. Look at that smile!

A Palestinian mother makes donuts for her children, and offers Bisan one as she prepares for an interview. She (the mother) talks about how she makes treats like this to try to cheer up her children, how she keeps herself busy like this so she can't feel the grief of the situation. It is expensive to buy firewood these days, and flour. At her side, her children chip away at a block of wood to help her.

if you'd like to support people like this family, donate to CareforGaza, which directly distributes supplies and money to families in need. They have stopped donations to their Gofundme campaign due to overwhelming support, but you can still donate via the paypal link in their bio.

Palestinians celebrate the birthday of an injured girl in hospital, with a small cake. One of them has dressed up as a clown.

@/nisreendiary on TikTok documents the process of making fresh bread in a tent in a calming video.

I got most of these off twitter, from this thread. Twitter is a hellscape at the best of times, but the easy communication it provides is a blessing. I'll try to share more of the good news here, as they pop up. In the future, I recommend you follow Eye on Palestine, or Al Jazeera if you'd like to stay informed on the situation in Gaza with minimal scrolling.

To all the Hamas apologists pretending to care about the lives of Palestinians, Yahya Sinwar didn’t earn his the nickname “The Butcher of Khan Younis,” for slaughtering Israelis, he earned it for slaughtering fellow Palestinians.

Pro Hamas people Google 'why Sinwar was called Butcher of Khan Younis' challenge

[dvar-trek]

Yeah, I just think that a man nicknamed "The Butcher of Khan Younis", a name he got for killing his own people, was maybe not a good guy.

[communist-ojou-sama]

6 months after the outset of Operation al-Aqsa Flood which exposed the incompetence and inhumanity of the illigitmate Zionist Entity, the Zionist Enemy's soldiers have, all but one battalion, been forced to retreat from Khan Younis, just as they retreated from Beit Lahia, having not managed at all to diminish the fighting power of the heroic Palestinian Resistance, even with their depraved and genocidal killing sprees against helpless civilians. Al-Aqsa Flood was without a doubt the beginning of the liberation of Palestine and while these coming months and years will be hard, the inhuman Zionist butchers will be brought to justice without fail.

All power to the Resistance, all glory to the martyrs; Death to the Zionist Enemy and its Nazi western enablers.

This is a video the IDF released over the weekend. Its of the tunnel complex they found in Khan Younis that they hoped held some of the hostages.

A couple of things I noticed. These tunnels, while cramped, are very well set up. They have areas to sleep and do business in. There are latrines and showers and cooking areas. They’ve rigged them for electricity.

They also intended these tunnels to hold hostages. They have cells to keep one or more hostages in them complete with locking iron doors.

I’m not even entering and I feel like I’m going to hell. The hostages… how any of the ones released had any sanity is now a testament to what a human can endure. Because not only were they hurt. Not only were they kidnapped from their loved ones, or after watching their loved ones butchered. Not only were they abused as they were paraded through the streets of Gaza and by their captors, but then they were forced down into these tunnels. As IAF strikes started to hit Gaza and eventually Khan Yunis.

Sinwar was known by Palestinians as the butcher of khan younis

This the guy you're saying is a hero and a noble son???? The dude who murdered his own people???

Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share an urgent plea for help. Due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, my family and I have been forced to flee our home and seek refuge in Khan Younis. My mother, who is pregnant, is in critical need of assistance to ensure her safety and the safety of her unborn child.

We are facing severe hardships and are struggling to provide her with the necessary medical care and basic necessities. I have launched a campaign to raise funds for my mother's survival during this perilous time.

Your support in sharing our campaign on social media could make a life-saving difference. Please help us spread the word and gather the support we desperately need.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,

Please help us by sharing the post on your page so that we can collect donations and get out of the war. You are our hope. I will be very grateful to you . ❤️🙏🏼

The second is that Al Jazeera has been found giving press credentials to multiple people who turned out to be soldiers in Hamas’s war on Israel. That would be indisputable grounds for suspending an agency’s credentials.

In the course of its Gaza operations, the IDF has found troves of documents that identify a great many of the Strip-based terrorists, some of whom work for Al Jazeera. Ismail Abu Omar was wounded in an IDF strike in Rafah. Al Jazeera claimed him as their own, flew him back to Qatar for treatment, and expressed deep outrage. Israel responded that Abu Omar was indeed an employee of Al Jazeera—while spending much of his time as a deputy company commander in Hamas’s East Khan Younis Battalion. Abu Omar appears to have participated in Hamas’s Oct. 7 invasion. As Jonathan Schanzer wrote here in March, “In a bizarre twist, Abu Omar actually signed his name to a Telegram photo of a murdered IDF soldier whose body was taken by Hamas into Gaza.”

There’s Mohamed Washah, whom one could find on Al Jazeera video reports and who also, according to numerous documents and photographs, serves as a prominent Hamas tank commander. Two Al Jazeera “journalists” were killed in a strike in January; one of them turned out to have been a rocket-specialist for Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the other a drone operator with Hamas.

How “journalisty” this all sounds to you probably depends heavily on whether you think a reporter’s first obligation is to kill Jews. I received my journalism degree without taking a single class on joining a foreign terrorist army, so it is not recognizable as the journalism I personally was trained to do—but your mileage may vary.

Now, a good-faith critique of Israel’s proposed ban might engage with this fact—that the Qatari-funded Al Jazeera appears to have been an organizational arm of the Qatari-funded Hamas terrorists who butchered 1,200 innocent Israelis on Oct. 7. Perhaps the law is still too vague, or you worry it gives Israel too much leeway to ban actual journalistic outfits under the same rules. Or you fret that the 45-day suspension is too easily extended. Even a passing familiarity with Israel’s Supreme Court would cure you of such worries, but not everyone possesses that passing familiarity. At the same time, an argument made out of ignorance can still be one of good faith.

What isn’t good faith, however, is any one of the above-mentioned arguments made by prominent political figures and supposed experts in the field of foreign affairs.
