Israeli writer comments on Sinwar's last moments: A scene from Hemingway's novel about Palestine. And it will change the history of the world

Afrasianet - What  the refugee, who spent 23 years in an Israeli prison, began on Oct. 7 "will change the history of the world forever, and the process is still in its initial stages," an Israeli writer said.

Alon Mizrahi wrote: "Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar died an honorable death, a death of a warrior with his men, with his people, in defending his land against an occupier who seeks extermination, and did not fall into an inappropriate act." He added, via his account on the "X" platform: "He left resisting."

Mizrahi continued: "The last episode of Sinwar's life could not have been written better than what a talented playwright wrote: not in a tunnel, a secret bunker, or a distant palace, not while engaging in unworthy work, he died resisting."

"If there's one word you can think of to describe this ending, it's Hemingway. This was more like a scene from Hemingway's novel about Palestine."

"I have no doubt who will support Hemingway in this conflict."

According to the Israeli writer, when he saw the scene of  Sinwar's death,  he remembered the end of the film "To whom the bells ring", where the rebels occupied positions on a hill, while the fascists approached them with planes and machine guns, knowing that they had no chance of survival.

"In his final moments, Sinwar realized that this was the end for him, but he did not collapse: a proud Palestinian, a resident of Gaza, a Muslim to the last breath, born in 1962 in Khan Younis to a family of 1948 refugees from al-Majdal, he was 5 years old when Israel occupied Gaza, and has not abandoned it to this day but will do so in the end."

Commenting on the video posted for Sinwar's last moments, he said: "The last act of defiance, he threw some debris at an IDF drone, and I started thinking: Was he, as a young boy, also throwing stones at soldiers in Gaza?"
