Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's last gesture of defiance has made him an iconic figure

- Brahma Prakash

WESTERN media is still designating it as a 'war' and 'conflict' when it is a war crime and a genocide on all counts. They keep labelling anti-colonial struggles as 'terrorist acts' as they did with Bhagat Singh and Nelson Mandela once. This is what The Times reported after the death of Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar: "Last Gesture of Defiance that Condemned Yahya Sinwar to Death". What was commendable was read as condemned. It further reads, "Cornered but well-camouflaged, the Hamas leader might have been able to play dead if he had remained still but he decided to fight back against the drone and his movements betrayed him." Did his movements really betray him? Or was it something deliberate on his part?
