Afrasianet - Dr. Hani Al-Akkad -There are many voices of the children who were victims in Gaza, including those who made their voices heard to the world before the bullets of the hateful occupation killed him, or his delicate body was torn apart by tank shells, or his soft flesh was burned by the missiles of the drones that threw their lava at the tents of the displaced people in Gaza, the voice of the martyr (Hind Rajab), his six-year-old son and her sister (Liyan) was one of these voices, the voice of "Hind Rajab" reached the ears of all peoples in all parts of the world before the occupation killed her after she was a survivor.

She was the only member of her family when Israeli tanks shot at her and killed six members of her family with no mercy, no pity and no regard for humanity. On January 29, 2024, the Palestinian Red Crescent received a call from Hind's sister, 14 years old, where she asked for help and said that an Israeli tank had fired bullets at their car in the area of the financial roundabout in the Tal al-Hawi neighborhood in Gaza, what were these words until he heard the screams of the child (Layyan) and a heavy sound of gunfire through the phone, which was documented by the ambulance department of the Palestinian Red Crescent.

The call stopped and Lian no longer spoke to the medics, her body was torn apart by the bullets of the Israeli tank near their car, and the communication was disconnected, and the medics tried to reconnect, but to no avail. Hind Rajab, who survived in the car, took the phone from her sister and in particular she was talking to the ambulance officer who asked her, "You are in the car, Hind replied that I am in the car and the tank is moving next to us.., the paramedic said to her, stay in the car, Hind replied.

My parents are all dead, and I asked the ambulance officer to keep her on the phone and come to pick her up", these were the last words of (Hind) before new bullets from the Israeli tank tore her and joined her sister (Layyan) and the rest of her family, the ambulance crew of the Red Crescent Society set out to rescue the child (Hind) and the rest of the family, but unfortunately the contact with the crew itself was cut off, and it was later confirmed that the ambulance was bombed by Israeli tanks.

After 12 days of losing contact with the ambulance and losing contact with (Hind Rajab) and her family members, the bodies of the child martyrs (Hind Rajab) and all her family members were found, and the ambulance of the Palestinian Red Crescent was found bombed with the bodies of the two medics who lost their traces during the rescue mission of the child (Hind Rajab).

One incident did not last more than a minute, but it was live and on the audio recording, and it is one of more than 15,000 incidents of killing of Palestinian children in similar circumstances, and some of them are still missing until now, the incident of (Hind Rajab) and her family simulates hundreds of cases, even thousands of similar cases, stories that were not recorded by cameras and were not recorded by smartphones were and are still happening more than 700 days after the horrible war. 

The war of genocide and ethnic cleansing is a story that is graying and shakes the consciences of humanity, and it is a cry to hear the cries of the child victims of humanity, which is unable to do anything or provide them with any help or protection until now. Horrific details in each incident and harsh words of the victims whose cries shook the consciences of the people, and cries that continue to call on the world to intervene to protect them and stop their genocide with their families.

The important thing about this incident is that it reached every free house and all the pillars of true humanity trembled to her through the voice of (Hind Rajab), her words were echoed over the phone to the ambulance crews to help him and confirm that the Israeli tank was shooting at her, what is new is that the voice of (Hind Rajab) reached all over the world through a short film by the Tunisian director (Kawthar Haniyeh), this film was shown on the screen of the Venice Festival to immortalize the voice and image of (Hind Rajab) and her sister Layan as they breathed their last breaths live to win the "Golden Lion" award and the Oscar,  Applause for 22 minutes and more by all the filmmakers present, including directors, actors, artists, international and American, this applause reflects a humanitarian situation manifested in a picture and sound for minutes that proves that the Palestinians are being subjected to a systematic war of extermination without protection and without international intervention.

Words before death, "Stay with me", "Come cheek me... The tank is slapping us, don't leave us" and in the background, the sound of bullets interrupting the last words so that Hind's breath stopped and Hind rose to the rank of martyr.

The film received a great international artistic celebration because it was a voice calling for humanity that was lost or absent in this war and did not come to save the children of Palestine who are still being crushed by this damn war in the sights and hearings of the world, the voice of (Hind Rajab) explained briefly the moments of terror before death and the moments of death itself, Hind breathed her last and the handset on her lips, it is a film of real image and sound and not an act that conveys the tragedy of the Palestinians in Gaza to the world, which did not stop over more than 700 days of war with no end in sight, and there is no official global uproar on the horizon if real official measures are taken to pressure Israel to stop the killing, blood and destruction, and to restore hope for life to these departed children, women and men in Gaza.

A second shot in the film is when the hungry child (Abd al-Rahim al-Jarabaa) nicknamed "Amir" kissed the hand of one of the contractors of the so-called "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" after receiving some (lentils and rice), while "Amir" turned into a living witness to the policy of starvation, slavery and murder practiced by the members of this institution under the pretense of providing food to the victims of the war in Gaza, which is nothing more than an institution that works under a humanitarian cover that contributes to killing and genocide. 

Since the inception of this institution, many children and young people have been killed and disappeared, killing without mercy or mercy, as if they were hunting animals, nothing more.

The child (Abd al-Rahim), nicknamed "Amir", may have been killed after collecting some food by the soldiers' bullets at the site, and he returns to his tent thinking that he is returning some food to his mother and his orphaned brothers, this is the prevailing belief, but he has not returned until now and his fate is not yet known because killing there is a major matter, and hunting the hungry and enjoying killing them is something that may have ideological dimensions among the Israeli soldiers and a hobby practiced by the American soldiers.

The film was a resounding cry of conscience that may move the world to stop this criminal war, showing two images that are very close to each other because the end is the same, which is death and killing by the first bullets of the child (Hind Rajab) who believed that her parents' car could protect her from the bullets of the Israeli occupation with her family, and the second of a hungry orphan child who tried to get some food from the (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) thinking that it was a humanitarian organization that came to Gaza to provide food and save people from starvation even though he accepted Hands and thanksgiving as an innocent child, and it may be those hands before him that killed him!. 

The killer is the killer and death is death by bullets, smart or stupid bombs, drone shells or tanks, all of which are death, and both images revealed how ugly the occupier is and how crazy a killer he is who does not care about the rules of war and does not respect international humanitarian law or even the principles of heavenly laws.

The voice of "Hind Rajab" and the image of "Amir" were two stories with a gap of about a year, but the common denominator between them is that they are victims of the barbaric war, and this film in itself is a documentation of some of the heinous crimes of genocide committed by the occupation on a daily basis in Gaza.

Perhaps the voice of (Hind Rajab) and the image of the missing (Amir) will be the reason for the return of most of the governments that still support Israel and change its policy in support of Israel and support the war of annihilation against the Palestinians, as the American contractor (Anthony Aguilar) changed his position and submitted his resignation from work (at the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) and became an activist defending the Palestinian victims and leading demonstrations in the American street to demand an end to the war on Gaza.

The film "Hind Rajab" has announced the moment of truth to move the world and responds with one voice and a collective voice and a serious and unified policy against this war, and at the same time raise the voices instead of the terrifying silence and soft diplomacy when criticizing Israel so as not to get too angry, and this will strengthen the Israeli persistence in killing, destruction and genocide against the Palestinian man, destroying his civil structure and crushing his cities one after another.

This is a moment of truth for the silence to cease and the countries of the free world, including Europe, which have deafened our ears to talk about human rights and freedom, to impose sanctions on the occupying power and stop the export of arms and ammunition to Israel, which are used by the Israeli killing machine to commit genocide against Palestinian children.
