With some Western anti-Imperial commentators, it almost sounds like eulogies for the brave fighter. Hanan Abd Rahman Abu Salameh, 59, killed today, by a soldier or a settler, while harvesting her olive trees near Jenin. Talk about her, and tens of thousands like her, before you eulogise Sinwar.

A reckless authoritarian, a brutal murderer of Palestinians and Israeli Jews alike, who created for Israel's Kahanist government the perfect context in which to pursue ethnic cleansing and genocide. Bravery? A farmer going out to harvest her olive trees under occupation is a thousand times braver.

Thank you. 100%
