to think that most world leaders hide in their big mansions while taking all the credit and sending their own soldiers to the battlefield and then we have a leader like sinwar who himself was on the battlefield to set an example, and people wonder why his soldiers don’t give up and are so resilient the amount of courage and honor this man had will always be remembered. May God grant him paradise and free palestine
Amin!
They don’t show any of this on CNN or Fox News 😂
Aamiin
he was also a very well read genius and if im remembering correctly learned hebrew to better understand his enemy. we lost a true force of nature and pure good.
Aameen . Legends never die. How blessed he is to achieve the true success in this world and the hereafter.
61 years old . Which other leader would hit the front line like this . Imagine the coward Netanyahu 😂😂😂
I remember seeing the video off his back end scurrying down to his bunker after an explosion, breaking his own personal best, what a coward!! 🤬

His people sleep in rubble now. What a great man. Get a grip.
You mean milekowski😂
In your dreams moron@@deedaagenie
Heros made in Palestine 😮
"Heros" who use human shields and shieldren? Yeah right. I bet the dead shieldren don't agree. By the by, hamas built 400miles of tunnels, how many civilian shelters did they build? "Heros" hahahahaha.
@@Miller-qi2ptare u serious? Gaza was built beautiful top to bottom but it was surrounded and a open air prison. Constantly bombed by Israel. Not able to have any freedom. These ppl would rather fight. They’ve already given Israel most of their land. Any man would choose to fight
@Miller-qi2pt 😂😂 you're not ashamed of your genocide I bet you've no clue on what your occupation forces are creating holocaust 1:1😢
Sinwar’s life and sacrifice reflect a deep commitment to the liberation of Palestine, challenging the narrative of an occupied people and their right to resist. His death on the battlefield, despite his leadership position, underscores his belief in leading by example, rejecting the notion of safety while his people endure violence and oppression.
"Yaya Sinwar was a great man of his time and beyond!"
@loo6837 The poem is called نكبة دمشق
I found it on their website
Only one problem, the term "Palestinian" is a false identity, it was take on by the Arabs in the 1960s.
Thanks for your continued journalism with integrity, Jon & EI Team!
Yes! Thank you Jon and the team ❤
Exactly!

Thank you, Jon. Stay safe all of you.
Love you Jon. You keep us all connected to the Real scene from Gaza. You helped us know these courageous people so well. God bless you.
Long live the Palestine 🇸🇩 resistance
That's a wrong flag u genius, just what we could expect from extremism supporters
The man is still fighting after his death.
He still lives through his people
The long and short of it is that Yahya Sinwar- the warrior and freedom fighter, was NOT AFRAID TO DIE! All the Palestinians ever want is to LIVE ON THEIR LAND AND DETERMINE THEIR OWN FATE! Thanks EI! Thanks Jon Elmer!
💯 👌
To be honest it's not their land at all .
@@johndawd4616 To be honest, Israel is not a valid state.
Johndawd: You is "funnie"
Well ya he’s not afraid to die isn’t that the whole point of being a martyr??? He wants to be dead. So it’s a good thing isn’t it? Such a confusing religion where death is valued more than life and y’all wonder why Gaza is ruble…
Now there are a billion people inspired by the resistance of Sinwar. The enemy has no idea what is on the next horizon.
They believed that by showing his last moments with the drone footage, they would have demolished his name. They saw an old man throwing a stick in a pitiful attempt at defending himself. What it really was was defiance in the face of death. And he's now a legend
A true lion of Palestine ❤
Netanyahu is born to Benzion Mileikowsky, a squatter from Poland, and Tzila Segal of Lithuanian descent. Ben Gurion is Polish, Golda Meir is Ukrainian, Moshe Dayan is Ukrainian, Shimon Peres and Mechanem Begin are from Belarus, Theodore Herzl is from Pest, Hungary. They say they are Jews but are without Semitic lineage. They're descended from Khazars who converted en masse to Judaism, to avoid taking sides between the Ottoman and Byzantine empires.
These who say they are Jews but are without Semitic lineage were transplanted to Palestine starting from the early 1900's to 1948 by the British empire and Rothschilds (who funded Scofield to distort the New Testament and brainwash evangelicals like Hagee and Huckabee), from places like Kiev, Bucharest, Berlin, Budapest, Warsaw, and Moscow, to displace and commit atrocities against Palestinian Jews, Christians, and Muslims who had lived in peace for centuries.
Thank you !!
That it ! It is occupation colonial apartheid state, no ancestral ties,
@@wordbird711 Blah blah blah. Only problem is M.E is almost exclusively Muslim who all believe in Quran which btw confirms the fact that land was assigned to Jews is the holy land aka Israel. I know its outrageous but Israel today only exists on 0.02% of land in M.E while those poor Muslims only rule 99.98%.
I can't handle so much Truth. Slow down lol
Arabs surname normally refers to their place of origin. How many Palestinians have the last name " Al Falasteeni"?
Vive la resistance ✊
vive les représailles
Israel has the right to defend itself
💪
Thank you, Jon
When the sirens sound Netanyahu cowers in his bunker.
Netanyahu was a special forces combat veteran 😂battle tested and even lost his brother and team mate to terrorists like you 😢
La recistencia mostrando al mundo su formacion y etica, impressive
Thanks Jon for report. Appreciation and respect. All eyes on Palestine!

a truer statement has never been made
You'll never catch Netanyahu or Ben-Gvir fighting on the frontlines
Or send their own kids to fight either. 😂
Bibi looks super butch when appearing in bullet proof vest and helmet.
Why should they? you forget nethanyahu has been on the front lines before...... Check on the Enttebe event.
Its not a general's place to be on the front lines.
@@ubaniuche6571 That was his brother, noob. Netanyahu was probably selling couches at that time.
😂😂😂😂
The Nelson Mandelas of the Middle-East ❤❤❤
Excellent! Please keep shining your lights upon the truth! The world if justice loves it.
Brave leader of a brave movement. Viva Palestina.
VIVA
Solo en la fantasía.
Hello and thank you for this content.
Always satiated by Jon's reports. Excellent reporter.
A luta continua!!!
A true Mujahed .
Reciting poetry on the front lines; the poet warrior live from Gaza. Great report John. Thanks.
Thanks so much, Jon Elmer! What a beautiful soul! You've already reserved a place in heaven!
TH-cam at it again. Censorship is crazy
Thank you EI
I have 3 daughters. If God gives me a boy, I shall name him Sinwar.
@Sumaya-m71 Would u also marry ur daughters off at 6 years old to a 52yo man? The quran says women have have a brain.
If you have another one
name him hitler 😂
cringe as fuck
Sinwar is not a human: he's the spirit by whom will come the Palestinian State!
Okay calm down. We Muslims don’t go overboard and start worshiping people.
He’s a human being but a great leader and hero and he will be remembered as such
I'm just really proud of Sinwar and all the hard work he did for Gay Rights! Sinwar was a friend to the Homosexuals everywhere and for that we are all PROUD!
@@Wise__guy definitely not. Oct 7 was a huge setback for Palestinians. Super dumb idea to start the war. Sinwar is to blame
We see what comes out. Not a state but devistation. But please pleassseeee stay as you are! Advocating for this anti constructive idea.
@@Wise__guy you do you worship Muhammed. You kill for him.
His book sales have gone up by 300%
I cannot find it anywhere.

Thank you for your great reporting throughout.
The translation you provided is highly accurate and precise. The poetry is written in an advanced level of Arabic, making its true meaning difficult to grasp even for many native speakers. It was once part of the school curriculum in the 1960s and 1970s but is no longer taught in countries that have normalized relations with Israel.
Thank you for this. Each an interesting point that makes for a richer understanding. Much appreciated 🙏
If you are aware of a more in depth discussion of this poem’s meaning, would be grateful for a recommendation. I’m intrigued especially by the concept of the “red freedom.” The first translation I came across gave the image of freedom behind a door stained red over ages, as it was being pushed open, mm by mm, by the bloodied hands of all those who fought in the People’s struggle.
Everything to do with z involves a loss to humanity.
What's the arabic name of the poem?
@@hafeezhamama9580 I believe it’s نكبه دمشق
@@hafeezhamama9580Ahmed shawki احمد شوقي
اعتقدت انك تسأل عن اسم الشاعر. عفوا لا اعرف اسم القصيدة ولكن هناك تعليق يقول اسمها نكبة دمشق.
I hope one day we will be able to visit Palestine and go round the tunnels sightseeing like you can in Vietnam
And also the tunnel of life, in Sarajevo, Bosnia
@TVcassee i would like to visit that. The tunnels in Vietnam are fascinating, mainly how small and clauetrophobic they are!
It’s all demolished
Thank you Jon much appreciated ❤
Thank you Jon! ❤
Allways grateful , thank you Jon
Any western leader fight like him on frontline no he is true leader he lead the frontline love you sinwer love from Pakistan
He was today's Tipu Sultan.
Yayah Sinwar. Legend! Allhumdulilah!
Israel ought to rebuild Gaza as Reparation.
US, France, Germany and UK also must pay reparations!
Don't need their reparations. Keep your money virus with you.
Never
What justice is it, if you can decimate cities, expect others to rebuild and then you just come back and destroy all over again?
@Techuser704 you will not get money. Who wants to give you
Simply breathtaking!
He is a courageous figure to his people
Thank you, EI!🙏🍀
Sinwar is so courageous.....great Comander.
And you are such a fool !!!.... a great idiot.
@@ahmedadan5393 dead commander you mean
Natanyahu was the one hiding in tunnels like a rat.
Legends never die...

Great presentation. Thank you ❤
Thank you very much.....I learned one thing "patience and perseverance =success "
Keep it going guys John Elmer & team. You feed our hopes & minds. Excellent reporting.
Another translation of the verse:
to redblooded freedom a gate
that every gushing arm knocks
Thanks Jon!
warrior poet
Read "thornes and carnage". You will love Sinwar for it!
The english title of Sinwar's book is:
The Thorn and the Carnation"
The real definition of a warrior.
Thank you so much for another great report. You have taught me so much.
They said he hides behind civilians and used them as human shields…. Couldn’t be further from the truth!!!!

Thank you for your brave work ✊🏻🙏🏼
Thank you Jon for your excellent journalism.
Thank you Jon. always appreciate yohr work!
A leader unparalleled, simply leading from the front
🇵🇸🥰💪🕊️⚖️🫶🆘🥰
An artificially imposed European colony in the heart of the Middle East, which is necessarily maintained by force, could never become self-sufficient. Rather, it has always and will always rely on massive support from Western states, especially the US. Maintaining that vital support was to become a key goal of the Israeli state and its transnational network of proxy groups.
The Oslo accords (which Edward Said warned about) were intended to reduce the level of the needed support whilst keeping all the land and stealing ever more. It worked in the W Bank and under the Fatah collaborators. It did not work in Gaza once the resistance took over. The interregnum between Oslo and Oct 8 is now well and truly over. It's interesting how little you hear from Abbas these days.
Well said and put, Sir! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Jon and Electronic Intifada. You guys are doing a great job
Really appreciate your journalism mr Jon Elmer with your the EI team for this report.
this is a rare post to show us the value in the struggle to defend sovereignty over the rights of anyone who is colonized.
this shows us how a person has deep commitment and courage in fighting to liberate his people..
may Allah bless you the late mr Yahya Sinwar with all the fighters who became martyrs
Greetings 😊😊
Thank you, Jon Elmer, for always giving us the TRUTH! ❤❤❤❤

I must testify what I witnessed in Gaza past 15 months was literal epic movie!! These people in small place stood against the tyrannical regime of apartheid Israel that gets its lifeline from United States and other powers!!

I just witness a Palestinian get released during the exchange after being help a year and a half.
He got out to find his wife and daughter had been killed in Gaza 6 months ago!
He broke down, then praised god. This isn’t over and won’t be for a long time.
All those people have are themselves and their religion
