The martyr Khader Adnan

The truth of those who said: They attack stones, trees, and people, confiscate property, plunder the land, demolish the homes of Jerusalemites and Khalayleh to seize their property in Old Jerusalem and Old Hebron, with the aim of destroying the history of the Palestinians and making their heritage for the Israelis, and that they have a history and a reality, by imposing Hebrews, Israelization, and Judaization on them. Islamic and Christian holy sites and their environs.


The foreign colonial settlers uproot the perennial olive trees from hundreds of years ago, which indicates the extent of the Palestinians' interest and attachment to their trees and land, and the olives are the fruit of this overlap and adhesion between the Palestinian and his homeland, his address, and his adherence to it.
We all remember the scene of the Palestinian cucumber, who embraced her olive tree, in the face of foreign settlers protected by the colony's army, who were trying to uproot her tree from her land, and she put her life as a price for the survival and protection of the tree.


Here is the martyr Khader Adnan, one of the leaders of the Islamic Jihad Movement, from the village of Arraba, paying with his life for his stubborn choice to refuse to submit to injustice and unfair administrative detention, after a hunger strike in the clinic of Ramla prison, for a period of 87 days, insisting on wresting his freedom from his executioners, the leaders of the colony .


The martyr, Khader Adnan, was not convicted by one of the courts of the colony, so he remained arrested by a decision of the Shin Bet intelligence service, without charge, but by imposing precautionary detention and arrest to prevent his freedom and his militant role among his people.


The Islamic Jihad movement is particularly targeted on behalf of the rest of the resistance factions by the occupation army. It does not engage in political disputes, neither with Fatah nor with Hamas. It does not beg for position and power, as Fatah and Hamas do, and it rises above the power disputes in Ramallah and Gaza, which have become captive. The occupation, its leaders are being assassinated, and no one is protesting or responding, neither from Gaza, where its most prominent leaders were assassinated last year, nor from Ramallah, who are committed to security coordination between Ramallah and Tel Aviv, and the security calm between Gaza and Tel Aviv.


The martyr Khader Adnan was not the first detainee to die in the colony's prisons and detention centers. Rather, he was recorded as Martyr No. 236 of the Palestinian captive movement, who rose while they were in the occupation's prisons and detention centers.


With the martyrdom of Khader Adnan, he lit a candle on the long road leading to the freedom and liberation of Palestine at the end of the journey of torment, struggle and victory.


A people did not win, and did not enjoy freedom and independence without sacrifices and sacrifices of people inhabited by faith, awareness, and willingness to sacrifice, and here is the case of the people of Palestine, whose talents in giving, sacrifice, and tools of action in confronting the occupation are multiplied, walking on the path of victory, as are the peoples who defeated their occupiers and colonialism.


Ben Ghafir, the right-wing colonial extremist, Minister of Security, blames the colonial courts for releasing the youth of the civil protests on financial bail, and demands that they continue their detention decisions and practice cruelty against Jerusalemites and the people of the 48 areas. He knew that the life of the administrative detainee, Adnan Khader, was in danger, according to the diagnosis of the doctors of the Ramla prison clinic. However, he was insisting on the decision not to release him, and thus Khader Adnan, against the background of the decision of the security forces and the Minister of Security, ended his life.


It is a full-fledged crime committed by the Netanyahu government, its minister Ben Gvir, and their apparatuses against the Palestinian citizen, as they do against all of his people, properties, sanctities, and olive trees. They are truly criminals against stones, trees, and people in Palestine.
