HIND RAJAB

She was born in 2018, she was almost 6 years old when she was staying with her uncle, an evacuation order forced them to leave west Gaza early in January 2024, and it was hard to do that with Zionists Troops all round, there were 6 of them in the car when they were attacked by a Zionist tank, four were killed when her cousin called the Red Crescent begging for help and during the call the tank fired at them and the call was ended, Red Crescent tried to call them again but this time Hind answered cuz her 15 years old cousin was dead, she begged for someone to rescue her, she begged the Red Crescent operator to stay with her on the phone and never hangs up, they stayed like this for hours as they were trying to get a permission from the Zionists Army to send an ambulance to save Hind, the Palestine authority gave them the green light and when the ambulance finally arrived and while they were in touch with the head office and Hind, the tank fired at them and all calls were Lost, after 2 weeks the damaged car and ambulance were found, all were dead .. The Zionists denied having any troops around that area, as they always lie, but the evidence is clear, the car was hit by more than 300 bullets, and the satellites imagery by an independent investigator group from the UK proved that the tank was so close to the car, as Hind said, and it was clear they knew what they were doing but for more than a year, the US ex department kept backing the Zionists with thier fake investigation and of course the current one will never even care about it, but we should be rest assured cuz the ones who committed this war crime are the ones investigating it, I think we owe an apology for all serial killers which never had the chance to investigate their own crimes, but what we've been witnessing in the last few months is enough to tell us the true face of the western world and the lies we believed since the 1940s, there's nothing worse than a dictatorship in disguise..

Hind al-Husseini (April 1916 – 13 September 1994) was a Palestinian woman notable for rescuing 55 orphaned survivors of the Deir Yassin massacre, after they were dropped off in Jerusalem and left to fend for themselves. She later converted her grandfather Salim al-Husayni's mansion into an orphanage, Dar al-Tifl al-Arabi [it], to house them, which became a school providing education to orphans and other children from Palestinian towns and villages.

Hind the Red Deer Along the river bank on a sweltering day there she was, shining in radiant beauty lariviere quenched her thirst her timid smile, gentle touch personified kindness in tranquility the desire of many men over time for she was not one woman she was a piece of history re-incarnated many times over you may have known her as Hind Al-Husseini who cared for the children of the Nakba passionate for the plight of all women her history and roots she proudly expressed with a museum of folklore, all impressed Then there was Hind Shoufani who learnt love from burnt villages we are all tired, always though in the hearts love falasteen re-incarnated yet again as Hind Rajab an innocent child like Jesus feared by evil and those with power shot this child over 300 times sixty bullets for every year of her life a gentle life stolen by the star of David of course there was Rostom of the Nile whose sensual moves so captured the eye she remained a mystery to most the humble and shy often do passant hind at the rivers edge red hair blowing in the breeze sadness of the world, a suffocating heat on the other side of the river was it my imagination? or did I see a small smile?

Arthur, I'm honored to be the first to comment on this story and poem. There are always people who understand the value of life itself and who do what they can to sooth the grief of war and hate by rising to the task. It's so very unusual. I wish there were more like her who have compassion for those who suffer. What's happening to children in GAZA is clearly a war crime, but we haven't been willing to stop it and do what's necessary to stop it. I appreciate what you're doing.
