Her name wasn’t Hind Rajab, so barely anyone will ever remember her or make a documentary about her.
She is just a number in the list of documented 20,000 murdered Palestinian children by the genocidal regime of Israel.
No one will miss her. but at least, some will know her name so she will not be forgotten.

Why do they call children ‘martyrs’? That implies that these children accepted their deaths for whatever reason. In reality Israel just murdered them. Let us not whitewash the horror.

The term “shaheed” translated to martyr is used in different ways.First reference is for fighters who die in a holy war.
The second is used for those innocent who didn’t fight, but were murdered unjustifiably.
It’s a cultural thing that people unfamiliar with Arab/muslim traditions don’t understand.
I don’t use the term, as I’m not religious, but when I post from Palestinian sources, I share what they wrote.
It’s not even just an arab/Muslim thing, the dual usage thing of the term martyr is also a Christian thing, at least in a few parts of it
No, its used differently in a muslim context. Source: grew up christian in Turkey.
The Catholic Church uses “martyr” to define “innocent who didn’t fight, but were murdered unjustifiably”. For sure some nuance is missing, but it’s full of martyrs saints that just got killed because they were Christians.
I have never seen the term used in europe in the same way as in west asia. That’s all I’m saying.
Depends on the area, it can also be used to describe someone who fought (defensively is mainly the modifier is saw used, but not always) for a righteous cause

It is even wider than that
It can refer to who die from plague, stomach disease, drowning, being crushed by a falling wall or structure, and those who die in battle
what on earth are you talking about?
don’t you know posting while high is just makes you look stupid (or uncover it)
You taked about the word marthyr and i gave you the wider arab definition. So maybe learn to read before accusing other to be stupid when you are the stupid one. Don’t forget to ask your parent to learn some manners
@mrdown In what “arab” country do the say what you wrote?
Can you share it in Arabic or what ever language you found it?
@mrdown I stay corrected, there are bigger and more sophisticated garbage on the sunni muslim/wahhabi (KSA backed) lunacy interpretation of Islam out there

@mrdown that is the biggest pile of crap I have ever read in my life.
who is behind that shit site? I have studies Islam in 3 decades and never seen such garbage before
Ah okay, that makes sense.
‘Shaheed’, in my country, is usually used only for those who voluntarily die for a good cause (like independence activists who were executed by the British). I guess the meaning got changed when we borrowed the word.
The arsbic defintion is wider. It can refer to people who die from plague, stomach disease, drowning, being crushed by a falling wall or structure, and those who die in battle

I was reading the other day about how one of the most effective things that we can do in effective dissemination of information about the scope of this genocide is to frame things around individuals; it is easier for us to respond to the death of one child, for example, than to understand the scale of tension of thousands of children being killed (I suspect this is why Hind Rajab became such an effective symbol).
Apparently this is the most well documented genocide-in-progress the world has ever seen, and I can believe it. Images like this are powerful because it shows that Zeina Al-Ghoul isn’t just some abstract entity, or a number on a spreadsheet, but a real human child. There are so many others whose names I will never hear, but it’s powerful to continually remind ourselves of the human lives that are being destroyed.

There are so many! 😢 We don’t even know the numbers, let alone their names.Though they are not combatants, the words of the Ode resonate:
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”#CrimesAgainstHumanity
