Mahmoud Al-Madhoun: Fed the Hungry of Gaza for 400 Days
This great man, who was full of humanity and love for helping and giving, was always extending a helping hand to those in need, feeding the hungry and quenching the thirsty. He dedicated his life to serving the weak, the poor, and the oppressed, and was a living example of generosity and sacrifice. However, on November 30, 2024, he was bombed by Israeli occupation planes in Gaza, joining a long list of oppressed and Palestinian victims who have fallen as a result of the ongoing aggression against the Palestinian people since October 7, 2023.
Mahmoud Al-Madhoun was killed, just like thousands before him, in front of a hypocritical world that does not care about the blood of Palestinians, a world that treats our people as if they were numbers without value. This world continues to support the Israeli occupation by all means: from weapons to diplomacy, money, and technology, encouraging the continuation of genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, while remaining indifferent to what the occupation is doing in the occupied land.
Let us think for a moment:
If Mahmoud Al-Madhoun had been Israeli or even a Western person, American or European, how would the Western media and governments have treated him?
How would Western propaganda have sought to highlight him, award him prizes, and constantly showcase him?
But Mahmoud Al-Madhoun, in his life, never needed those prizes, and after his martyrdom, he will not need them. He never asked for their support in his life. On the contrary, they were on the side of those who killed him, either by providing weapons or money, distorting and falsifying the facts, or by justifying their crimes against the people of Palestine.
Mahmoud Al-Madhoun was one of the millions of Palestinians who fell victim to the Israeli occupation’s policies, which do not differentiate between a child or an elderly person, a woman or a man, a civilian or a soldier. The people of Palestine continue to be targeted in every aspect of their lives, even in their right to live peacefully on their land and in their homeland.
One day, a fair and honest historian will write the history of what happened in Gaza, and the facts will prove that what the Israeli occupation army has committed in Gaza, including genocide, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes, surpasses all the crimes witnessed by the world in modern times.
