British journalist sparks outrage after posting photo of himself sitting on Yahya Sinwar’s chair
Rafah (Quds News Network)- British journalist Douglas Murray has sparked outrage online after posting a photo of himself while sitting on the chair of the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
On Friday, Hamas confirmed Sinwar’s death while engaged in battle in Tal as-Sultan, Rafah, on Wednesday.
The fact that Sinwar died fighting has added a final chapter to his story as a fighter and leader who has been involved with Hamas since its founding.
Defiant to the end, Sinwar, who was injured and resting in a damaged armchair, threw a stick at the Israeli drone that was searching the building to find a masked fighter, who came to be Sinwar. The building was then shelled by tanks and missiles, killing Sinwar.
On Sunday, the Israeli military gave the New York Post an “exclusive foreign media access” with Israeli forces to the site where Sinwar was killed.

Thank you for reminding us how Sinwar became an even bigger legend for the resistance.

Bitch please. You are not 1% of the man he was.

You are literally not equal to the dust flying from Yahya Al-Sinwar's shoes

Forget about being 0.01% of him, fear in your eyes is evident despite being guarded by diaper forces on the new sofa delivered by the US.

Just sitting in his place won’t make you a leader or a symbol.

The sign on your jacket should say "Propaganda".
You disappoint me so much, from noble origins to apoligiser for genocide.
