I have nothing but admiration and respect for the brave men and women in this family and in all the Palestinians called by circumstances beyond their control to become martyrs for their people. And also my deepest sympathy. Their faith is inspiring.

It is strange, in contrast, the depths of depravity and barbarism the Israelis have sunk to. and that they cannot see that they themselves are creating the "enemy" "out there," when their greatest enemy is their terrible loss of soul, conscience, faith and humanity within them.

Indeed. Here's a friend of Zakaria recalling a conversation with him:

"I once asked why his story had not been made into a film or play: 'Because no audience would believe it,' he said.

"Somebody needs to tell the story of the fighter: Who is he? Why is he doing what he is doing? You cannot just take a picture and write that he is a terrorist. Armed resistance is not one soldier killing another soldier. It is a civil uprising with fighters trying to defend themselves with whatever is available." - Zakaria Zubeidi
