A music teacher in Gaza has found a way to help others around him face the implacable and terrifying sounds and a horrible impact of the genocidal war of Israel.
The constant buzz of Israeli drones above Long predates the constant gusts of shots and explosions since the start of the War of Israel against the besieged enclave.
“In Gaza, there is no escape from the reality of the war,” said Ibrahim al-Khalili d’Tel Aviv Tribune, reporting from Gaza City, where explosive buildings and chaos reign and that desperate people try to escape gunfire on food distribution sites.
To these horrors is added the always present sound of Israeli drones, he said, stopping to listen to the sound of a drone flying above.
Al-Khalili said the drones had hovered over Gaza for years before the attacks of October 7, 2023 led by Hamas, southern Israel which led to the War of Israel.
Many Palestinians living in Gaza City find the sound unbearable, “he said,” explaining that “it’s not just surveillance. It is psychological war – a noise intended to denigrate, to break people. ”
Even before the current war, a report published by Save The Children in 2022 noted that four in five children in the Gaza Strip suffered from depression, sadness and fear caused by the Israeli blockage punishing on the territory.
However, the music teacher Ahmed Abu Amsha found a creative way to help those who feel in distress by the buzzing threatening above, by transforming this sound meant to torment into something positive: a song.
“We have had this idea of what we are experiencing, what we suffer here,” said Abu Amsha. “When we have an activity (drone) here, the children ask me” Mr, we are tired of the boring sound “,” but) I told them “no, we must sing with” “”
“We have to transform it into something good, and (therefore) we sing,” said Abu Amsha, adding that the group often records videos of themselves while singing to publish on the Instagram social media platform. “The idea of these video songs is to transform the sound of war into music and make something beautiful.”
The videos shared on the Instagram account of Abu Amsha, which have been seen by thousands of people, do not consist in creating art, but in refusing to “leave a machine – built to watch and intimidate – define what means to live” in Gaza, said Al -Khalili. It is a form of resistance.
Israel killed more than 63,370 people and injured nearly 160,000 in his war against Gaza since October 7, 2023.
