DR. HANI TRIBUTE WE ARE LIKE THE CHICKEN WE WILL NEVER STOP TRYING TO FLY
March 20, 2024“WE ARE LIKE THE CHICKEN, WE WILL NEVER STOP TRYING TO FLY”
It’s hard to see a way out, and I’m not sure anyone else can either.
But we’ve got to hold each other accountable – that’s our only power.
And hey, we won’t give up! Just like Dr. Hani said, we’ll keep pushing until we finally make it back home.
FLY HIGH DR. HANI 🕊️

English Script:
Tarek Loubani: One of my dear friends who was killed recently, Dr Hani Al Haitham. We were sitting in Shifa one time. It was shortly after I had been shot. I was back in Palestine, I was banned for a year by the Israelis for having embarrassed them by being shot by one of their soldiers. And I came back and he said to me, “you’re like a chicken”, I swear to you, you’re like a chicken. I got insulted. he said, No, no, no, it’s not an insult. It’s not an insult. Think of the chicken. Everybody tells it, it can’t fly. What’s the first thing it does? As soon as you let it go, tries to fly. He says you’re not just the one who’s like the chicken, we’re all like the chicken around here. Everyone who’s left in Gaza, we’re all the chickens around here because it doesn’t matter how much they tell us that we can’t fly. We try and we’ll never stop trying. Dr. Hani could see how important it was to put in the effort while his hospital was being bombed around him. He did not leave. He hated when he saw these things that were happening. He understood very well that the situation did not have to be, he understood very well, that there were ways out, that there were things that could be done. And that was why when shortly after I first met him, he decided that he would switch. He would switch his career to emergency medicine from neurosurgery, in which he was deeply accomplished. He wanted to do emergency because he wanted to help people. And so he became one of my residents. He became one of my students, we were the same age, and he was much more accomplished by that point when he turned 30 than I’m ever going to be in my entire life or career. And I do not say that because I have a low opinion of myself. I say that because he was that great, because he was that wonderful, because he was that capable.
