Khader Adnan knocked Israel out of hunger

Many, especially those who knew him, do not believe that he left this world as a young man in the prime of his life and the height of his activity and giving, preparing himself to become a popular Palestinian leader, distinct from those we knew from the rest of the oppressed leaders, but rather an international symbol in the peaceful, violent, stubborn and difficult struggle against injustice domestic and global arrogance. He laid the groundwork for the history of his struggle with five open-ended hunger strikes over the course of ten years against his administrative detention, until he declared the strike the moment he was arrested from home, i.e. before he reached the prison, regardless of the type of detention and the detaining party, until his last arrest came on a few fabricated charges in early February. At the beginning of May, he passed away without regret, without hesitation, and without bargaining over a morsel of food that could have brought him back to life for another forty years.


The struggling sheikh did not realize that circumstances had changed this time, and that the hour to kill him and get rid of him had come. They did not transfer him to the hospital after a month of his strike, not after two months. Here, he felt that he was being “neglected” by a prison administration or a jailer, which will soon be rectified. He wrote his will in an attempt to draw attention, without any tinge of retracting his decision to stop the strike or take the subsidies. Here, his lawyer applied for his release on bail, which means that the charges against him are empty, but even if they were not, they do not investigate him once. Or even a word, so why would they keep it there?


In her last visit, nine days before he was killed, the head of Physicians for Human Rights accused the Israeli doctors of abandoning their “duty” to save his life. Khadr told her that he was crammed into her bed room full of bugs, which forced him to sleep on the floor, and the emergency button was present. In the toilet he didn't have to crawl to get to it. So there is a ministerial decision to kill this person, taken by the concerned minister with others in the prison service, stating: He wants to die, let him die. The Israeli journalist, Gideon Levy, described him as a fighter for freedom, but for three months he has been a prisoner in detention by the State of Israel, and for this reason the Secretary-General of the United Nations called for the formation of an investigation committee. - . Not all people know the meaning of starvation for 87 days, starvation to death. It is one of the most difficult types of death, simply because it dies every day, but every hour and minute. Khader Adnan endured it in front of the world in its two poles, good and bad, clean and dirty, freedom fighter and racist. Fascist, so he enters honorable human history, and Khader Adnan becomes a martyr in the religious sense, as he goes to heaven, and the linguistic meaning, in the sense that he will perpetuate his people and live much more than he was destined for if he lived until the last moments of the most humiliating years of life. We loved you, Sheikh Khidr, alive above the earth, and we will love you more alive under it.
