This is how Twitter users react after Sinwar’s martyrdom: “Fearless leader” | HISPANTV

Well, well, well, what have we here? A tale of martyrdom, tributes, and social media chaos surrounding the death of Yahya Sinwar, the HAMAS leader who seemingly decided to go out in style – combat vest and all! If you’re gonna go, you might as well make a dramatic exit, right?

So, let’s talk about Sinwar. This guy was a bigger enigma than a Rubik’s cube that’s had a little too much to drink – Israeli intelligence couldn’t quite get a read on him. After spending 22 years in an Israeli prison, you’d think a guy might want to lay low. But no, Sinwar rolls straight back into the spotlight, leading HAMAS in Gaza like he was auditioning for the role of “Most Wanted.”

Now, he was found in Rafah, not in some dark little tunnel, which was the narrative the Israeli media had pushed as vigorously as a toddler trying to spread peanut butter on toast – with a sense of urgency and a fair bit of mess! Sinwar was up on the front lines, armed and apparently living out his best life until—wait for it—the curtain came down.

People on social media have gone into overdrive, paying their respects like they’re at a never-ending funeral home. Afshin Rattansi, those fearless journos, tweeted up a storm suggesting Sinwar was no coward hiding in the shadows but, in fact, charging at the enemy like a teenager at a midnight sale – keffiyeh and all! And Dan Cohen didn’t hold back either, labeling him a “courageous leader.” It seems everyone has their superhero capes on, calling him the epitome of the Palestinian resistance!

And then there’s the delightful quote we keep hearing: “A minute of life with dignity and pride is better than a thousand years of miserable life under the boots of the occupation.” How profoundly tragic yet poignant! I mean, it really does hit you right in the feels, doesn’t it? It’s as if Sinwar was a character straight out of a dramatic play – the noble hero standing against the big bad wolf, wearing his AK-47 like a classic knight wielding a sword.

Now, Nour Zeidan was throwing around some serious pride talk on the social nets, stating that Sinwar was not hiding but standing shoulder to shoulder with his fighters. Our martyrs are our strength, they say! It’s kind of like a tragic Greek play, isn’t it? They keep singing the praises of fallen heroes, while the crowds lament their loss – though there may be a few rogue souls throwing in some comedy relief.

Let’s also not ignore Omar from Gaza. His message sounded like it was taken straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster: “A hundred Sinwars will rise to take his place!” That sounds like the premise of a sequel—Sinwar: The Rising. Who knew martyrdom could inspire such fervent encouragement? You’d think he was a rock star who died too soon, except instead of tours and glitter, it comes with gunfire and political speeches.

Elijah J. Magnier adds a twist, explaining that Sinwar’s leadership was a “deliberate choice” to send a message. Ah yes, the power of symbolism! Death is hard to spin, but give it a good ol’ media release and proper meme treatment, and maybe—just maybe—it’ll dance its way into martyrdom fame.

And amidst all of this, Doc Jazz has sprinkled in a bit of cheeky humor suggesting that, while the Resistance is a “just cause,” it’s also a bit testosterone-fuelled—as Sinwar made the other men “look like little boys.” You’ve got to appreciate the banter in tragic times!

Overall, we’ve got ourselves a proper social media frenzy over Sinwar’s exit. From the solemn tributes to the spirited outcries of resistance, it’s like watching an emotional roller coaster without the safety harness! So, whether you’re a supporter or just someone enjoying the drama unfolding in real time, Sinwar’s memory will definitely live on in the chaos of social media — perhaps forever immortalized in the great Hall of Memes.

Social media users reacted to the news of the martyrdom of HAMAS leader Yahya Sinwar and paid tribute to him that he was martyred fighting

Yahya Al-Sinwar was one of the most prominent figures in the political sphere of the Palestinian movement, known for his heavy hand and great changes. In fact, the senior leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) was an enigma for the security and intelligence services of the Israeli regime.

Sinwar’s body was found on Thursday in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, wearing a combat vest and carrying an AK-47 rifle at his side.

According to images posted on social media, Yahya Sinwar fell a martyr facing Israeli occupation forces in Rafah, contrary to the Zionist regime’s false narratives that the HAMAS leader was hiding deep in the enclave’s tunnels.

The charismatic leader of the Palestinian resistance movement spent 22 years in an Israeli prison before becoming leader of HAMAS in Gaza in 2017. He was freed as part of a prisoner swap in 2011.

The 62-year-old leader played a major role in coordinating and supervising the Al-Aqsa flood operation in Gaza and escaped many assassination attempts before and after the events of October 7.

Reactions after Sinwar’s death on social network X:

“Contrary to all the propaganda in the US, UK and EU media over the past year, HAMAS leader Yahya Sinwar did not end up meeting his end in a tunnel surrounded by Israeli hostages wearing a belt.” suicide”, wrote award-winning British journalist Afshin Rattansi on his social account x.

In this sense, he added that Sinwar was killed on the front lines with the keffiyeh (traditional Palestinian scarf) around his neck and a tactical vest, wielding an AK-47, “while fighting head-on against the Israeli occupation forces, like the rest of the Palestinian resistance had been doing in Gaza for the last year.”

Journalist and filmmaker Dan Cohen detailed that, “Yahya Sinwar was a courageous leader who challenged the Israeli occupation and prepared the Palestinian resistance for liberation. “It was the exact opposite of the Israeli leadership that is celebrating today.”

“A minute of life with dignity and pride is better than a thousand years of a miserable life under the boots of the occupation.” – Yahya Sinwar from his novel The Thorn and the Carnation,” posted Palestinian social media activist Nerdeen Kiswani.

In this sense, Nour Zeidan tweeted that “Yahya Sinwar was found on the ground, he was not hiding in a tunnel or among civilians; Instead, he was with his fighters on the front line.”

“Our martyrs are not our weakness or our shame, they are our pride and our strength. Our liberation and resistance continue. Rest in peace,” he added.

Omar, from Gaza, stressed that, “We will all follow the path of resistance and the path of Sinwar. If Sinwar is killed today, a hundred Sinwar will arise to take his place.”

“If Israel thinks that killing Yahya Sinwar will prevent the Palestinians from defending their land, it is wrong. “Israel has assassinated hundreds of leaders, including Yasser Arafat (Abu Amar), Ahmed Yassin, Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi, Abu Ali Mustafa, Ismail Haniyah and many other leaders,” he said.

“But the result has always been the opposite: the resistance becomes fiercer, stronger and more determined,” he added.

Likewise, Mr. Haque, another journalist emphasized that “History will remember Yahya Sinwar as a brave 62-year-old man who fought for his people, for his land and for Al-Quds until his last breath against the Firoun of his time. Ya shaheed As salam.”

“In 1948, Yahya Sinwar’s family was attacked and expelled from Gaza by Israel. Growing up, he saw friends and family killed in other Israeli war crimes. Even if he is now dead, ongoing Israeli atrocities have created thousands more like him: Palestinian freedom fighters,” mentioned an account called Red Collective.

Journalist Elijah J. Magnier wrote that, “The selection of Yahya al-Sinwar as leader of HAMAS, despite knowing the likelihood of being killed on the battlefield, was a deliberate choice intended to send a powerful message to the people of #Loop”.

“Their decision to remain at the forefront of the conflict highlighted their willingness to share the same risks and sacrifices as civilians and fighters in Gaza, reinforcing the idea that Hamas leaders would not abandon their people in difficult times,” he said.

“Sinwar’s death, although a significant loss for HAMAS, serves a symbolic purpose. “This conveys to the people of Gaza that their commanders are as committed as they are and that they, too, are prepared to face the ultimate sacrifice. By dying in battle, Sinwar probably wanted to emphasize that Hamas, as a movement, will endure even if its leaders die, because the ideology and cause of resistance persist through the people,” he said.

“In this sense, Sinwar’s death could be interpreted as a moral victory over Israel, as it reinforces its connection to the people of Gaza and its commitment to their cause. “Its message – that the HAMAS leadership shares the sacrifices of the conflict – strengthens the bond between the group and the people of Gaza, ensuring that the movement remains resilient despite the loss of its leaders,” he concluded.

The Palestinian surgeon, Doc Jazz, also pointed out that: “The Resistance continues because it is a just cause, not a man. That said, he was a man who practically made every other man look like a little boy, and he died fighting, not hiding.”

Sinwar had been chosen as the general leader of HAMAS after the assassination of Ismail Haniya as head of the HAMAS Political Bureau in early August.

Haniyah was killed at the end of July in a targeted assassination operation against the Iranian capital, Tehran, where he had traveled to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new president of the Islamic Republic, Masud Pezeshkian.
