In an article published by Anadolu Agency, Abu Amro is quoted as saying that the viral comparisons between Hassona’s image and Delacroix’s masterpiece inspired him to continue taking part in the protests. His sheer determination and belief in his cause, so evident in Hassona’s picture, are confirmed by something else he told the agency: “Even if I become a target for Israeli bullets, this flag will remain in my hand.”

tbf Palestinians and their Arab allies went to war with Israel several times and they also shoot rockets indiscriminately towards Israeli cities
When in the past 30 years have they "went to war with" Israel? Lebanon being invaded?
Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up.
