The last Words from #HossamShabat #DoNotStopSpeakingAboutGaza
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months. I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
"Am 24. März 2025 tötete die israelische Armee im Gazastreifen gezielt zwei Journalisten. Dabei geht es um mehr, als bloß zu verhindern, dass über #Gaza berichtet wird."
#HossamShabat
"Als seine gesamte Familie infolge der Zwangsräumungsbefehle der israelischen Armee vertrieben wurde, blieb er trotz des Wissens um bereits getötete Kolleg:innen im Norden des Gazastreifens, um von dort aus über die völlig entgrenzte Kriegsführung der Regierung Netanjahu und später die ethnische Säuberung Nord-Gazas zu berichten. Seine Mutter sah er erst nach 492 Tagen wieder, nach Inkrafttreten der Waffenruhe. Am 6. Oktober 2024 sagte er in einem Tweet in Gedenken an seine von der israelischen Armee getöteten Freunde Ismail Al-Ghoul und Hassan Hamad, beide ebenfalls Journalisten: „Ich verspreche euch, dass ich die Fackel weitertragen werde. Ruhet in Frieden, meine geliebten Ismail und Hassan.“ Die Menschen in Gaza liebten ihn, weil er mit diesem Entschluss und mit seiner Arbeit Hoffnung ausstrahlte. Hoffnung auf Gerechtigkeit, Hoffnung auf ein Einschreiten der Welt angesichts schwerster Verbrechen in der Enklave. Eine Hoffnung, die sich bis zu seinem Tod nicht erfüllte....."

Today, my friend, I stand burdened with pain, and the same pain is renewed by your loss, Hossam!
I remembered your voice screaming at the world until your voice became hoarse!"

"There is nothing more difficult than mourning the loss of a colleague with whom you shared your most difficult moments, especially if it was your beloved brother, Hussam Shabat. Hussam was not just a brother or a passing journalist, but a pure soul walking the earth, an influential journalist, and a symbol of northern Gaza."

"Hussam Shabbat, a young journalist from Gaza, just got killed by Israeli occupation, his #CRIME was #JOURNALISM.
You will not see world leaders rally for freedom of speech like in #CharlieHebdo simply because the victim is Palestinian and the criminal is Israel; the sacred country that world leaders cannot criticize.
May your soul and the souls of tens of #Gaza journalists who got killed, rest in peace."

They killed Hossam! They resumed the genocide and forced him to put his press vest back on, and then they murdered him!
Journalist Hossam Shabat, Al Jazeera correspondent, along with his videographer, was martyred after his car was directly targeted by the IOF.
I hate #Israel with a passion, along with every western #journalist who whitewashed the slaughter of their colleagues in #Gaza. I will never forgive them.
