My very dear brother Ismail Haniyeh: I salute your parents who raised you so well to be the kind of man that you are today. Your entire life has been devoted to defending the homeland at a very high risk to your own life. What an amazing life you have lived! What it must have been like for you as a child to hear your parents describe to you the horrors that were inflicted on the indigenous people of Palestine in 1948 that included rapes and massacres and 200,000 of the Palestinians fled to Gaza and your own parents were among those who fled.
