Thank you, Mohammad. I am so proud that you document the struggles of Gazans from the heart of Gaza. You are all heroes in Gaza. May Allah Almighty bless you all and allow this suffering to stop. 🙏🏻

On your beautiful essay on culture is important not only to the Palestinians but to the world. You mentioned a few contributors, but it's clear there are many more who have made significant contributions. I'd like to add not only the artists but also the scientists, teachers, and many others who have selflessly dedicated themselves to the betterment of today's world, such as Edward Said, Hanan Ashrawi, and Rashid Khalidi, to name just a few.

The Palestinians will never be forgotten; they will always be remembered, no matter how hard Israel tries to remove them from history.

Thank you for your comment. You are right! I have mentioned just a few Palestinian icons who were deliberately targeted. These figures have impacted me so much. As I already mentioned in the essay, it is an intro to what will come next insha'Allah. The list of creative Palestinian minds can go on endlessly!
