Khader Adnan

Assallamuallaikum Khader

Your solidarity and commitment to your hunger strike has inspired me greatly. My heart breaks for your family and you. May all the children, especially yours, of Gaza be freed of this. May your solidarity rise awareness to the disaster that is taking place in Palestine and End the loss of life there. May you be freed and allowed to see your family and children once again. May all your patience and wholeheartedness be rewarded in Jannah. You and your family are an inspiration. I will pray for you alll every day May Allah have mercy on you. Ameen.

Dear Khader, Every time I try to write something about you, I freeze. No words, no matter what, will do your sacrifices justice. You are the epitome of resistance, resilience and steadfastness. When the word "hero" comes to mind, people usually think something along the lines of Superman, Spiderman or some other cartoon hero. When I think of the word "hero," I think of you, waiting patiently; resisting and fighting injustice with everything in you. Just know that you are on the mind of every person with a conscience.

Love, solidarity and prayers from Chicago to Palestine

To Khader and family,

I, like many others, have been following up on your case, reading every update and hoping it's a good one; but all I kept hearing was the number of days on hunger strike increasing. It kept going up and up to a point where former hunger strikers who couldn't last longer were used as milestones. Everyday you hungerstrike you seemed stronger to us. More stubborn for justice. More human. A Hero. You defined what resistance to occupation is and what the whole Palestinian cause is about. You taught us how to fight for our rights even if it means a slow painful death. You taught us love for freedom, the land, palestinian people and most importantly justice. You were a role model for many when you kept your promise to not stop the hunger strike unless your demands are met. Khader, you may not be able to read this but I really hope you know that your name will resound in history forever. We will promise you that we'll teach our children and our grandchildren who Khader Adnan was and what he sacrificed for the Palestinian cause to be alive. The amount of love, support and respect we all have for you is endless.

To Khader's family, I feel ashamed as a human being and as a Palestinian to not have been of much help. I hope you understand that your husband, son, father, brother is a wonderful teacher and a hero. He touched more lives than he ever thought he'd be able to. We all heard his message of defiance and call for a life of dignity, free of occupation. Watching his mother, father and wife appeal to the world for help was heart-breaking to say the least and even his beautiful daughters' faces will burn in our memory. If he is not destined to live, please know that not only you'd lose him but all of us who got to know him in those 60 days. Humanity itself will lose an important advocate. Palestine will lose another son. Maybe we are asking for too much but please find it in your heart to accept our apologies for we have failed you and failed the Palestinian cause.

No words will truely describe what I feel right now but I really hope you read this in peace with hope of a better future towards a free Palestine. A Palestine that is proud to have Khader Adnan as a true noble defender of the cause.

With love,
Hala A.

Assalaamu alaikum Khader. 

We are watching your heroic struggle, no matter what happens you are a true hero my brother.  We are thinking about you and talking about you all the time in my country, we are watching you as you give your life for freedom.  Your empty stomach is a weapon that Israelis can never fight against no matter how hard they try. 

You are an inspiration to all! You're story and your message embodies the spirit of resistance in the face of injustice and inequality. May Allah be with you.

dearest brother khader and family,
bless you in this very difficult time.
