If I were asked if I could meet anyone in the world- I’d choose Khader Adnan, “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.”
Khader Adnan, 45, was murdered by the Jewish State of Israel in an Israeli prison on Tuesday 2 May 2023. But to this Palestinian resistance fighter there was no prison able to confine his integrity, his moral power and his freedom to resist.
Khader Adnan was subjected to 12 arrests including his second arrest as a Birzeit University student, by Israel’s proxy police, the Palestinian Authority, for his protesting the French FM who referred to Palestinian resistance as ‘terrorism’ despite knowing that it is legal, in international law, for all people under oppression to have the right to resist.
In his hometown, Jenin, Khader Adnan became the spokesperson for the spirit of resistance of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement committed to restore the State of Palestine held, now over 7 decades, under Israeli brutal occupation.
Imprisonment by Israel is state terrorism: prisoners suffer torture, inhumane conditions, and the violation of their legal rights by administrative detention in which prisoners are indefinitely held without charges and denied lawyers.
