Dear Khader Adnan & his respected family. I have been wanting to write something about you & to you for days now, but I have been scared, worried & overcome by anger.
Every time I started to write, I would scribble down a few words & then get lost in my own thoughts, I can't delay this any further. It would be stupid to claim that I can describe how much respect I have for you, how much love, how much pride I feel knowing what you are doing & how resilient you are, you have taken Palestinian resistance to new heights, you have shattered stereotypes that Palestinians only resist with guns & Molotov cocktails. Through your hunger-strike, you have expressed the thoughts of every Palestinian, through the refusal to eat, you have expressed your rejection of the Zionist state, through your willpower, you have shown that the human body is only as powerful as the mind that lies within it & your mind is strong, so strong that you brave death with no fear because life without dignity is worthless. Everyday I tell people about you, I tell them that I'm a proud Palestinian for many reasons & you are one of them, I tell them to reach out & help, I tell them that through your hunger-strike you have highlighted Israeli apartheid, you are the hungry freedom fighter we all long to become. Your resistance has made you the resistance. To your family I say, that you are blessed, you are what drives this man & in you he finds strength.
To your family I say, hold your head up high, remain strong & proud.
To your family I say, we are all with you, the Palestinian struggle doesn't forget & it honors those who stand by it.
To your family I say, I love you & I stand with you as one, through these 60+ days, you have become the family of all Palestinians, in the lands of Palestine & across the globe in the diaspora. We all stand in-solidarity with Khader Adnan.
Khader Adnan is a hero.
Khader Adnan is RESISTANCE & refusal to live without dignity. Love & Solidarity.
