🧵1/3: It is increasingly difficult to watch #Palestinian #musician Ahmed Muin Abu Amsha from #GazaBirdsSinging getting more emaciated every time he posts a new video, where he will yet again give his all to make children of #Gaza forget the horrors of #genocide through the beauty of #music. And the fact that in spite of everything he is succeeding is a testament to the extraordinary resilience & beauty of the Palestinian people. This particular song completely broke me and here is why...

🧵2/3: Ahmed is using the sound of an incessant #Israeli #drone over #Gaza to pitch his #singing. Miraculously, it remains stable for the entire song, when they usually change pitch making their presence unbearable.The song is about #Jamal carrying a load, a direct reference to a 14 y.o. boy who defied gunfire at a #GHF food distribution point to carry a bag of flour half his weight for 2 hours to feed his sisters https://www.reddit.com/r/Palestine/comments/1mln8f1/jamal_the_14_yearold_boy_who_walked_152_hours/. Ahmed's last notes, mixed drone-free, are haunting

🧵3/3: please help share that #Palestinian song far and wide, #repost #retoot. While it talks about #Jamal, Ahmed posted it straight after the killing of #Anas & #Aljazeera journalists & dedicated it "to #truth". To support Ahmed, #GazaBirdsSing and #music in #Gaza, please consider giving to his GoFundMe. Given the price of a bag of flour is between $300 to $700, his total currently covers less than one loaf of bread a day for 6 months. https://www.gofundme.com/f/hello-peace-help-innocent-people-to-survive#FreePalestine @Palestine
