abolitionmedia<p><strong>Palestinian Authority Betrays Militants &amp; National Consensus With Inflammatory Posture</strong></p><p></p> <b>Mahmoud Abbas began the PLO’s Central Council (PCC) two-day meeting today by calling Hamas “sons of dogs”, claiming falsely that surrendering all zionist captives would stop the genocide, and echoing “Tel Aviv” in demanding that Hamas disarm</b>.<p></p><p>Abbas calling Palestinians animals is nothing new. At his <a href="https://t.me/aksaltyar/10707" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">May 2023 speech</a> at the United Nations, he said openly: <b><i>“Save us. Man, why don’t you save us? Even animals, we have to save them, right? If you have an animal, don’t you protect them? Shame on you that you don’t protect animals.”</i></b> Perhaps it echoes Gallant’s infamous description of Gazans as “human animals” more.<br><b><u><br>Discredited from the start:</u></b><br>The PLO Central Council has only met twice since 2018, most recently in 2022. Both meetings were boycotted by prominent Palestinians and factions within the PLO (such as PFLP, PPP) as well as PNI and independent Hanan Ashrawi).</p><p><b>This year is not different: PFLP (a PLO member) and PNI (Al-Mubadara) </b><a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/76501" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">boycotted</a><b> this year’s two-day meeting before it started.</b><br><b><br>Moments ago, the DFLP (also a PLO member) announced its withdrawal from the meeting after the conclusion of the first day, in protest of “the leadership’s failure to respond to…national unity, a national strategy to confront the genocide in Gaza and annexation of the West Bank, and implementing the outcomes of the Beijing Declaration.”</b> Notably, the DFLP did not boycott previous meeting held in 2022.</p><p>With the boycott of PFLP, PNI, and DFLP, the three most significant parties after Fatah have withdrawn, leaving Abbas essentially alone.</p> <b><u>A blatant power grab:</u></b><br>The meeting is expected to be the most significant in terms of changes to the PLO since its inception, coming in the wake of numerous unilateral changes by Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah to <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/75983" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lay the groundwork</a> for further consolidation of power, including significant internal reshuffling and reallocation. Dozens of forced resignations (firings) have been enacted across the PA, from the <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/73671" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prisoners Commission</a>, to <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/11256" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ambassadors</a>, to the <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/32473" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prime Minister</a>.<p></p><p>Abbas has made decrees <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/76435" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">renaming and changing position</a> of ministries and ministers in recent weeks and days, for reasons related to financial and power allocation.</p><p>This comes after Fatah’s repeated refusal several proposals for a <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/49656" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">unity government</a> by over a dozen factions in the last two years, as well as a <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/75983" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">massive $1.8 billion aid package</a> from the EU to the PA that was implemented a few weeks ago. In February, the PA silently <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/71448" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">accepted</a> a $680 million offer from the US to crack down on resistance in the West Bank, which they happily obliged.</p><p>Just a week later, Abbas <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/73300" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cancelled stipends</a> for families of prisoners and martyrs, an American-zionist demand that Abbas previously promised to <b><i>never</i></b> concede on; Abbas freed up $150 million per year for his good behavior.</p><p>The Palestinian Authority’s hands are soaked in Palestinian blood, with their US- and EU-funded bullets resulting in the <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/74593" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">martyrdom of 21 Palestinians since October 7th, 2023</a>, while they carry out nonstop abduction campaigns and hold <a href="https://t.me/RNN_Prisoners/3858" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dozens</a> of political prisoners.</p><p>On Sunday, 300 PA officers were <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/76435" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ordered</a> to Cairo for a two-month training they are forbidden to refuse. Egyptian mediators suggested that these officers are earmarked to police Gaza when conditions allow.</p><p>At the PCC, and as he laid out at the Arab Summit in February, Abbas is set to announce a Vice President of the PLO for the first time ever, without consulting with any factions within the PLO. The meeting with also see amendments to the PLO charter.</p> <b><u>Palestinian Reactions to the non-Palestinian Authority:</u></b><br><b>Condemnations poured in from every corner of the Palestinian political spectrum following Abbas’ tirade, from resistance factions, civil society groups, and even from within Fatah itself.<br></b><br>In response to Abbas, Hamas leader Bassem Naim stated: “At a meeting that has usurped the legitimacy of the Palestinian people’s leadership, Mahmoud Abbas used foul language to describe a large and genuine segment of his own people.”<p></p><p>PFLP leaders <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/76501" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">derided</a> the meeting, stating that no real reform came from previous meetings. The PFLP previously set conditions for their participating in the meeting, namely reform of the PLO based on resistance and democracy, and they made their position calling for national unity clear during recent meetings with Fatah, while affirming the PLO as the “sole representative of the Palestinian people.”</p><p>The <a href="https://t.me/SerajSat/320320" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Assembly of Families of Palestinian Prisoners,</a> as well as the <a href="https://t.me/hossamsshbat/41177" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Assembly of the Families of the Martyrs </a>issued condemnations, too. “Where is the cause of tens of thousands of Palestinian prisoners in the president’s agenda?,” they asked. “Does Mr. Abbas not envy the way ‘israeli’ leaders cherish their captives and exhaust every avenue to free them?” The Families of the Martyrs said it was a stab in the back, highlights “the gulf between the Authority and the resisting Palestinian reality.” They asked “where was the Palestinian leadership during 564 days of aggression and when Gaza was besieged, starved, and annihilated?” They affirmed resistance in all forms cannot be abandoned, surrendered, or negotiated.</p><p>Hamas <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/76545" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">expressed hope</a> that the meeting could be “a genuine opportunity to build a national unified position” against the zionist entity’s genocide—<i>if</i> the Council would have enacted its own previous resolutions (stopping security coordination, escalating resistance, and severing ties with the zionist entity). Hamas not formally joined the PLO, but it has expressed willingness to accept its framework if it is reformed. Since 2022, however, Fatah blocks these steps and imposes new pre-conditions at every turn; meetings in Algiers, Beijing, Moscow, and Cairo did not yield tangible changes due to Fatah’s monopoly on the use of force.</p><p>The <a href="https://t.me/mojahdeenpal/5268" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mujahideen Movement</a> was direct, stating that the meeting does not constitute a real Palestinian consensus, and continues the PLO’s history of isolation and exclusion while ignoring its own decisions. They affirmed complete support for armed resistance. Likewise, the PFLP called for a completely separate meeting that includes all factions.</p><p>The Popular Resistance Committees <a href="https://t.me/qwaim2000/2738" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">denounced</a> Abbas’ speech in strong terms, rebuking Abbas’ false claim that the resistance gives “pretexts to the occupation”; they noted that occupation did not need a pretext to block Abbas from visiting Damascus or banning his Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa from visiting villages in Nablus and Ramallah in the last week. They condemned Abbas’ description of Palestinians as “dead” and affirmed that resistance is guaranteed by international and divine laws, charter, and conventions.</p><p>Fatah Revolutionary Council member <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/73128" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fakhri Barghouti</a> affirms that the PCC meeting does not represent the PLO or Palestinian people, but rather <b>“a gang that hijacks Palestinian decision making.” </b>PNI Secretary-General Mustafa Barghouti responded to Abbas: <b>“The victim cannot be held responsible for the occupation’s crimes.” </b></p><p>The Ahrar Movement also <a href="https://t.me/alahrar_ps/3185" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">condemned </a>Abbas’ statements, stating that the meeting should have been held at the beginning of the war, not two years into genocide:<b><i> “Our struggle with the zionist enemy is an existential, ideological one that admits neither surrender nor submission. If Mahmoud Abbas and his coterie live and thrive off such submission…they do not represent our proud people or its aspiration for freedom and liberation, which lies in its weapons and its resistance.”</i></b></p><p>What unites the above is a shared conviction that real legitimacy flows from resistance, not the isolated leadership of Ramallah.</p> <b><u>The Authority’s Continued Obstruction:</u></b><br>Several factions called for adherence to the previous agreements of the PCC, as well as the implementation of the <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/49656" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pan-faction Beijing Agreement of July 2024</a>, which has not materialized, like previous meetings. Currently, closed-door Fatah-Hamas <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/75950" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reconciliation talks</a> are taking place, where Fatah has attempted to impose some conditions that sound like they came directly from “Tel Aviv.”<p></p><p>The DFLP, in <a href="https://t.me/dflp_gaza/12736" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">its announcement of withdrawal all of its delegates from the PCC</a>, stated that Abbas outright refused their proposals for unity and a national consensus plan at today’s meeting. They expressed surprise that the Central Council did not take up the mission of unification and shock at the absence of national dialogue. They closed by stating that the DFLP is withdrawing because “refuses to share responsibility for the results of this meeting and for any disastrous consequences for the national cause.”</p><p>Later, DFLP politburo members expressed that they strongly rejected Abbas’ remarks and the monopolization of the agenda of the meeting by Fatah. The PNC’s Vice President, DFLP politburo member Ali Faisal, was completely excluded from the preparations for the meeting.<br><b><br>The meeting was centered on the dictatorial creation of the Vice Presidency of the PLO, not Palestinian grievances and aspirations.</b></p><p>The Palestinian Resistance Forces Alliances (<a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/70628" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Damascus-based</a>; includes Hamas, PIJ, PFLP-GC, and others) <a href="https://t.me/Alaqsa_voice/180540" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">issued a statement</a> completely rejecting Abbas’ speech today, which they considered as detached, an insult to resistance, promotes division, and sows hatred.</p><p>They affirmed that the PCC does not reflect Palestinian popular will or aspirations, and that the convention serves to entrench hereditary rule through a leadership that has lost its legitimacy. They stated that Abbas’ attack is a desperate attempt to weaken unity for the benefit of the occupation.<br><b><i><br>“We say to Mahmoud Abbas: If you truly care about the future of this people, you should end your career with an honorable national stance that restores the value of our people’s unity and its institutions…We stress that our people will remain faithful to the choice of resistance; neither words nor imposed councils can assassinate it.”</i></b></p> <b><u>True legitimacy:</u></b><br>Ironically, Abbas started his speech by calling for “a unifying national foundation” and that Fatah is “continuing the struggle,” despite nearly everyone else calling out their blatant bluff, except the sycophants in the room in Ramallah who clapped for him.<p></p><p>All the while, Abbas’ gang refuses unity proposals, cancels elections at every chance (while blaming “israel”), and ruled by decree with support from the US and Arab regimes. As the second-oldest head of state in the world, he is still serving his term that expired over 16 years ago. 90% of Palestinians want Abbas to resign, a figure that has only risen in quarterly polling, while over 60% call for the <a href="https://electronicintifada.net/content/dismantle-it-and-let-them-fall/31281" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dissolution of the Palestinian Authority</a> (70% in Gaza).</p><p>His rant crystalizes the issues with the PLO and PA: they are not forums of national consensus, but a stage for unilateral decrees that drift further from Palestinian popular consciousness with every passing day. Gaza remains under fire, the West Bank is occupied, but the gulf between the rhetoric of Ramallah and the resistance of the righteous has never been larger.</p><p>As <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/17133" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Naji Al-Ali</a> drew decades ago, the <a href="https://t.me/PalestineResist/11823" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PLO</a> cuts through the fabric of Palestine.</p><p>Abbas will carry out dictatorial changes without consultation and appoint his own successor, confirming what factions have long stated: <b>real Palestinian legitimacy is not represented in the halls of Ramallah, but by the rifles of the resistance, the blood of the martyrs, the screams of the wounded, and the groans of the prisoners.</b></p> Source: Resistance News Network <p></p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18633" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">18633</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/comprador/" target="_blank">#comprador</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/dflp/" target="_blank">#dflp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#gaza</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hamas/" target="_blank">#hamas</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pa/" target="_blank">#pa</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pflp/" target="_blank">#pflp</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/pij/" target="_blank">#pij</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/resistace/" target="_blank">#resistace</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-bank/" target="_blank">#westBank</a></p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>If the US Launches a Ground Operation Against Yemen, it Will Backfire</strong></p><p></p><p>Frustrated by its costly ongoing offensive campaign against Yemen, the Trump administration is said to be in talks to launch a ground effort aimed at seizing the strategic port city of Hodeidah, before effecting regime change in Sanaa. If this offensive does occur, it will result in a disastrous defeat for Washington.</p><p>In 2015, when then-US President Barack Obama backed the Saudi-led coalition’s war on Yemen, Riyadh had estimated that it would only take a few months to uproot the Ansar Allah leadership that had taken over Sanaa. Instead, they faced defeat after defeat at the hands of a highly-motivated armed force that received the backing of the majority of Yemen’s Armed Forces.</p><p>A decade later, despite the 2022 ceasefire, the conflict remains unresolved – and Ansar Allah’s power has only continued to grow. The movement that once seized control of Sanaa with the backing of key elements of the existing power structure, including segments of the military, was a shadow of what it has since become. Not only has it forged strong alliances with various tribal factions across Yemen, but it has also made leaps and bounds in developing both offensive and defensive weapons technologies.</p><p>The Yemeni Armed Forces that aligned with the Ansar Allah-led government proved capable of holding off the combined power of the Saudi-backed and UAE-backed Yemeni forces, in addition to various militant groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS, also battling Saudi Arabia’s armed forces and later mercenary fighters from Sudan and elsewhere. They fought on the ground for years, amidst a US-Saudi blockade in the Red Sea, combined with US-British-‘Israeli’ logical support being provided to their enemies, backing Riyadh’s air attacks against the country.</p><p>While managing to inflict countless defeats on what was supposed to be a militarily superior opposition – on paper – the Yemeni government in Sanaa continued to expand its power and territorial control in a country that has historically been divided between north and south.</p><p>In late 2021, game changing technological advances introduced a new dynamic to the conflict, ultimately pressuring the Saudi-led coalition to accept a UN mediated ceasefire proposal. By early 2022, after an expansion of the ground war the previous year, the Yemeni Armed Forces had launched a wave of successful drone and missile attacks at targets across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia.</p><p>While Riyadh had been dealing with Ansar Allah’s drones and missiles for years by that point, it was clear that a significant technological advancement had occurred. And whereas the Saudi State had some capacity to absorb limited attacks on its vital infrastructure, the Emirati regime was far less equipped to withstand repeated blows from Yemen.</p><p>Abu Dhabi in particular cannot afford to absorb sustained waves of drone and missile attacks, especially if Dubai becomes a target. Unlike Saudi Arabia, the UAE is a tiny and vulnerable country. If Yemen decides to blanket them with strikes, their endeavors to diversify their economy will likely disintegrate, and no amount of deals with the US nor the Israelis can help them.</p><p>The claims that are being spread, particularly across Arabic language media, speculate that a Saudi-UAE backed force of about 80,000 soldiers is being amassed in order to launch an offensive aimed at seizing Hodeidah. Then, so goes the report, the US will offer air support and even launch a smaller ground attack to invade Yemen.</p><p><strong>Donald Trump’s Vietnam?</strong></p><p>Yemen was once dubbed Egypt’s Vietnam – and if the United States decides to launch a ground campaign there, the outcome is unlikely to align with President Donald Trump’s intentions. Already, the air campaign alone, which has already killed around 150 civilians, has proven to be an embarrassing failure, costing US taxpayers billions of dollars with little to show in return.</p><p>Despite this war of aggression against Yemen being launched without a popular mandate, nor congressional approval, the US corporate media have largely chosen to ignore it. Yet, if Trump sends boots on the ground, Yemen will quickly dominate headlines, for the simple reason that US service members will start returning home in coffins.</p><p>So far, the Yemeni Armed Forces have limited their confrontations with the US’s naval fleets to defensive maneuvers, meaning that they have not been attempting to sink ships or aircraft carriers and are focused on defending their nation. If a large-scale ground operation is launched, the defensive posture will shift to one of offense.</p><p>The ground campaign will not only be costly and far from a walk in the park, the US will also endure direct hits to its vessels and significant casualties. Additionally, we should expect major attacks on both Saudi and Emirati infrastructure, which will disrupt oil markets. It is also very likely that US bases located in the Arabian Peninsula and beyond will come under attack.</p><p>Furthermore, we should probably expect occasional strikes against the Zionist regime that will be more intense than previous waves. If we begin to see the civilian death toll climb dramatically in Yemen, while the war is overtly an American-Zionist aggression, the way in which Ansar Allah will deal with it won’t be restricted any longer. On top of this, it could even end up uniting the people of Yemen to an even greater degree as a result, including factions and tribes that have always been at odds with Ansarallah.</p><p>Yemen is not Iran, but it has the capacity to inflict considerable losses on the US-allied regimes surrounding it and can target US forces directly. The question then becomes, can Riyadh and Abu Dhabi endure continuous barrages of munitions being fired towards them? Also, when the war lasts much longer than anticipated and the proxy ground force used to attack Yemen is suffering severe losses, as American soldiers return home in body bags, what will the strategy be then?</p><p>Will the 80,000 strong force continue to fight if they are suffering considerable losses, all in order to achieve a victory for Zionist strategic interests? Or will they begin to experience serious morale issues and defections? Will the US public be able to stomach the losses, and can the US military itself justify the loss of assets in a pointless fight to please their Zionist allies?</p><p>There will be no benefits to launching such an assault, and the US has not amassed nearly enough ground troops to launch a war alone. On every level, this would be a catastrophic strategic blunder. If they lose, this would be an embarrassment of historic proportions and nation-defining victory for the Sana’a government, despite the immense civilian suffering that will inevitably come from the war. All of this leaves out the potential involvement of other regional actors who may take advantage of the situation too.</p><p>If Trump decides to go ahead with such a conflict, in order to please his Zionist ally, it will greatly backfire. There will also be no way to hide the fact that he is working against US interests and sacrificing his own citizens in order to make the Zionists satisfied, without any real end goal or vision for victory.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=18629" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">18629</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/ansarallah/" target="_blank">#ansarallah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/imperialism/" target="_blank">#imperialism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/yemen/" target="_blank">#yemen</a></p>

It will not surrender to the American aggression, and will remain, as it was, and will always be a graveyard for invaders.”</p><p>We continue to prevent Israeli navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas, the statement added.</p><p>“We will continue with trust in Allah to confront this brutal aggression, we will continue, with Allah’s help, to support the oppressed Palestinian people until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.”</p><p>In other news, the Yemeni Armed Forces have documented the wreckage of a US MQ-9 drone that was shot down over Al-Jawf province on Wednesday, according to footage released by the Yemeni Military Media.</p><p>The Military Media also shared updated figures regarding US drones of this type that have been downed across various provinces, revealing that Yemeni forces have brought down 22 MQ-9 drones in total. Of these, 18 were downed during the “Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad” campaign in support of Gaza.</p><p>Earlier today, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced that Yemeni air defenses successfully targeted and downed the American drone, with footage of the wreckage later made public.</p><p>Saree stated that this marks the third US MQ-9 drone shot down within the past 10 days.

abolitionmedia<p><strong>Protecting the Internal Front Is a National Duty in the Face of the Zionist War of Extermination: PFLP</strong></p><p></p><p>The Popular Front affirms that the zionist occupation does not target a particular party or faction, but rather wages its comprehensive war against all segments of our Palestinian people in an attempt to destroy our existence, liquidate the Palestinian cause, and erase our national identity. Accordingly, the response to this war must come through unity of ranks and the strengthening of resistance in all its forms to confront this ongoing aggression, and through vigilance against all of its cowardly methods aimed at striking the internal front and stirring chaos.</p><p>-The Popular Front holds the zionist occupation fully responsible for the humanitarian catastrophe and the disastrous living conditions it is imposing on our people, amid the ongoing war of genocide and policies of starvation and siege. This extends to waging psychological warfare and attempting to strike our people’s unity and provoke chaos in a vile attempt to tear apart the internal front and weaken the resistance.</p><p>-It is necessary to raise levels of national and popular mobilization to confront the tools of hybrid warfare waged by the enemy to undermine the morale of our people and their field and societal unity. Anyone who contributes to spreading rumors or fueling internal division is directly serving the enemy, and it is our collective duty to confront these attempts with resolve and national responsibility.</p><p>-The protection of civil peace and the strengthening of national cohesion are the safety valve in the face of the destructive zionist war.

abolitionmedia<p><strong>A Palestinian Theory of War</strong></p><p></p><p>The war in Gaza and the genocide against the Palestinian people unleashed by the Zionist regime has been an earth shattering event in terms of its importance to both forces of reaction and revolution. I wrote an <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/time--space--and-the-will" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>article</u></a> last year for Al Mayadeen English titled “Time, Space, and the Will” where I explored these three concepts as integral components of guerrilla warfare in general, and Palestinian military tactics in particular. I quoted from General Vo Nguyen Giáp and Mao Zedong—the 20th century modernizers of guerrilla warfare—in order to create a bridge from the past to the present. Finally, I brought in the <a href="https://palestinianyouthmovement.com/live-like-a-porcupine-fight-like-a-flea-basel-al-araj" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>short essay</u></a></p><p>“Live Like a Porcupine, Fight Like a Flea” by the martyr Basel Al Araj in order to make a connection with Palestine. Al Araj’s ‘flea war’ details how the flea exhausts its host and causes him to become psychologically and physically unstable. In this essay, which acts as a continuation of the previous one, I would like to expand on this idea that Palestine is the place where 21st century guerrilla tactics are being developed in practice. Al Qassam’s territorial divisions, the unity of fields, both indigenous-made weaponry and war loot, and the popular cradle are the main sources of the victory of the Palestinians in the battle of Al Aqsa Flood.</p><p>John Elmer of <em>the Electronic Intifada</em> did an excellent job bringing Al Qassam’s videos to the world outside of Palestine. In his resistance report every week, Elmer detailed the tactics, techniques, and different types of weapons used by the various resistance factions in the videos they posted to Telegram and other media platforms. One point Elmer made frequently was the fact that the Gaza resistance was organized into territorial units which were small, mobile guerrilla units. These units, intimately connected to the piece of land they are defending, were able to withstand Israeli bombardment and inflict large-scale damage to the Israeli shock troops and their APCs, D9 bulldozers, and Merkava Tanks. Whenever the Israelis declared an area cleared, these territorial units would launch surprise attacks from that very same location. The social media of the Zionist soldiers was also used against them for geolocation purposes.</p><p>In Basel Al Araj’s <a href="https://www.workers.org/2023/11/74595/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>‘8 Rules on the Nature of War’</u></a>, he details this element of psychological warfare: “The enemy will spread photos and videos of their invasion into Gaza…allow your enemies to move as they wish so that they fall into your trap and you strike them. You determine the location and timing of the battle”. Instead of having to mobilize large numbers of troops to different areas to retaliate against Zionist aggression, keeping the units in territorial positions allowed the resistance factions to maximize their strength and outmaneuver the enemy.</p><p>This battle was the fruit yielded by a series of events which have strengthened Palestinian national unity against Zionist colonialism. We can draw a line back to 2006 and the <a href="https://www.peaceagreements.org/viewmasterdocument/1406" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Prisoner’s</u></a> <a href="https://www.peaceagreements.org/viewmasterdocument/1406" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Document</u></a> which argued for national unity modeled on the victories prisoners were able to achieve by working together in the prisons. Then in 2011, when the Gilad Shalit deal was reached and many resistance leaders were released from the dungeons, a real push was made towards national unity. This culminated in the 2021 Unity Intifada and the creation of the joint operations room. The joint operations room was fully operational by the time October 7th, 2023 came around; Marxist groups, Islamic groups, patriotic nationalist groups all united in Gaza against the occupation and invasion. This is operationalized theoretically by the concept of the unity of fields.</p><p>Similar to the popular front strategy during WWII, the unity of fields promotes unity in action and resistance, while maintaining and strengthening relations among groups with differing political views. The shared view of the resistance and national sovereignty animates the various factions to fight together. The unity of fields has its expression outside of the armed groups as well, in the form of the popular cradle. Palestinians are returning to the rubble in the north of Gaza. Almost immediately, footage emerged showing them rebuilding what remains of their homes. When Trump launched his inflammatory comments saying that the US would assume colonial control of Gaza, the Palestinians—who have lost everything—responded with a laugh as if to say “go ahead and try”. One Palestinian man was<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv4bwQRnsos&amp;t=1767s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u> </u><u>interviewed</u></a>, he said “we are returning here and building wells already, we will never leave this land”. The Sumud (steadfast) of the Palestinian people is the stuff of legend.</p><p>The propaganda of Hamas has also been particularly successful since the ceasefire. A large banner, reading “We are the flood, we are the day after” was on the stage where one of the first prisoner exchange happened. The fact that the Zionist soldiers were returned healthy, well fed, and given gift bags was also a blow to the Israeli government. It is worth noting that every prisoner said they were treated well, in accordance with Islamic law. Also, on stage were members of the Al Qassam <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezw7FpTfO74&amp;t=1825s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>shadow unit</u></a>, who are in charge of the prisoner’s security. Not only were they successful in their mission—Israel never found a single person in all their raids—but they also stood on stage wielding Tavor bullpup rifles, which are standard-issue in the Israeli military. Prisoners were delivered to the Red Cross in brand new trucks, taken from the occupation forces. Each truck, loaded to the gills with fighters. According to U.S. intelligence reports, the Al Qassam Brigades actually grew during the war. This was despite the Zionists making large displays of captured prisoners.</p><p>According to Al Araj: “The enemy may broadcast images of prisoners, most likely civilians, but the goal is to suggest the rapid collapse of the resistance. Do not believe them”. All of this war booty has helped the Palestinian resistance over the years in developing indigenous technologies like the Yassin tandem charge RPG which proved particularly effective against tanks and APCs.</p><p>As discussed in the previous article, General Giáp of Vietnam said that the majority of their weaponry was old or secured from raids against the French and Americans. The Palestinian resistance has shown that war booty can serve a secondary role in a guerrilla war for national liberation because of the manufacturing capabilities of the movement.</p><p>In conclusion, while the entire western imperialist camp assaulted the tiny Gaza enclave, they did not know who they were up against. The Palestinian resistance is steadfast, growing, and capable of defeating the collective imperialist powers in battle. Despite the martyrdom of so many key leaders, the resistance has secured the release of hundreds of prisoners, and potentially thousands more will follow. While the prisoner exchanges have been put on pause due to Zionist aggression, we all know that the Palestinians are the ones negotiating from a place of strength.</p><p>source: <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/analysis/a-palestinian-theory-of-war" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Al Mayadeen</a></p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=17559" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">17559</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#gaza</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a></p>

His martyrdom stood as a testament to his unwavering support for justice for the oppressed.</p><p>He was martyred in the service of his people, for the liberation of others, with him being a soldier on the battlefield, a warrior in an eternal struggle of right vs. wrong, just vs. unjust, and morality vs. immorality. Faced with occupation, he chose freedom, he took a stance to make a difference, struggling with every fiber of his being to end tyranny and to bring peace to the world through the strength of his character.</p><p>This is how I remember Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. He has taken his place among the legion of fallen martyrs stretching from Lebanon through Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Chile, Ireland, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.</p><p>Sayyed Nasrallah, like Che Guevara, Allende, Patrice Lumumba, Chavez, Mandela, Connolly, and Gandhi, lives on in the hearts of all those who rail against injustice, the enslavement of people, and the inequality shown through corrupt practices of imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism.</p><p>The movement, led by Sayyed Nasrallah, was a reaction to the Zionist occupation of his country, the colonial occupation of Palestine, and Western hegemonic interference in West Asia.</p><p>Sayyed Nasrallah became the hero, fighter, and liberator he was under the harsh conditions imposed upon him and his country.</p><p>He is not just a huge loss to his family, community, nation, and region; he is an irreplaceable loss to the Axis of Resistance, his global comrades, and humanity.</p><p>I mourn his passing but take solace in knowing he was martyred as he lived, leading the battle to liberate the world from evil and end people’s suffering.</p><p>He died in the fight against fascism. He died in the fight for humanity. He died for freedom. He died for justice. He died for you, and he died for me.</p><p>“Without dignity, there is no liberty, without justice, there is no dignity, and without independence, there are no free men,” Patrice Lumumba once said.</p><p>“So long as there is imperialism in the world, a permanent peace is impossible,” Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah</p><p>I will miss his intellect, humor, humility, compassion, and empathy for the oppressed, the marginalized, the isolated, the downtrodden, the poor, and the occupied.</p><p>Most of all, I miss his speeches. His words defied the empire, shook the imperialist centers of power to their very core, and embodied the voice of resistance for all to hear.</p><p>My hero is this eternal legend who is Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, whom we may not see his like again.</p><p>We loved his wisdom, and we shall honor his legacy.</p><p>Even in death, his vision to liberate West Asia from foreign interlopers may yet come to pass.

abolitionmedia<p><strong>Occupation Pigs of South Lebanon</strong></p><p></p><p>The late 2024 Zionist invasion of South Lebanon did tremendous damage but failed to capture a single southern town, due to the fierce resistance from Hezbollah, Amal and Palestinian fighters.</p><p>The ceasefire which began on 27 November 2024 ended on 26 January 2025 but was extended to 18 February. Lebanese villagers flocked back to their homes on 27-27 January, but the Zionists fired on them, killing 24 and injuring 141.</p><p>The invading Zionists have kept their troops in parts of the South, carrying out home demolitions in several areas including on the outskirts of Yaroun and Kfarkila, all in violation of the ceasefire and of UN resolution 1701. Zionist leaders now say they plan to remain in five areas of South Lebanon, despite the ceasefire agreement.</p><p>While some Zionist sources claim this ongoing occupation is authorized by the Trump administration, none of the Lebanese leaders accept the demand. Several UN experts have condemned the killing of civilians and insist the Zionists must withdraw.</p><p>The infamous Zionist savagery was on full display in the South as they shot unarmed civilians trying to return to their homes when, according to the ceasefire terms, all Zionist troops were meant to have withdrawn.</p><p>That and the useless role of UNIFIL forces, who did nothing to oppose the Zionist invasion, helps explain the popular anger in demonstrations outside Beirut airport in mid-February. One UNIFIL car was overturned and burnt. The Lebanese army tear-gassed protesters the next day.</p><p>These rallies came after the Lebanese government blocked the arrival of a plane from Iran, apparently in obedience to the demands of Washington which, in typical tyrannical mode, demanded the exclusion of Hezbollah and its allies from government.</p><p>While that move failed, Lebanese people now face the most reactionary leadership in a very long time. Former army chief Joseph Aoun is now president and former ICJ judge Nawaf Salam is Prime Minister, according to the sectarian formula (a Maronite Christian must be president and a Sunni Muslim must be PM) which has crippled the formation of a genuine national government for decades. Neither Aoun (no relation to former President Michel Aoun) nor Salam have shown any sign of defending the country from US domination or Zionist invasion. Not even Hezbollah has challenged the sectarian formula, reinforced by the Taif agreements at the end of the civil war.</p><p>But it is only Hezbollah and its allies which protect the country from collapse into a complete US-Zionist colony. For that reason, there are still many patriotic Lebanese, probably a large majority, who support the ‘loyalty to the resistance’ bloc.</p><p>In addition, the ongoing occupation and home demolitions suggest a Zionist strategy of trying to make the border areas unlivable, as in Gaza.</p><p>We can see a similar aim in the state in which they left houses that they occupied during the assault on Khiam village. There was wanton vandalism of one house which senior Zionist officers used as a base during the failed attempt to take over Khiam, a beautiful village with views of Mount Hermon (Jabal al Sheikh) and the Syrian Golan. The Resistance (fighters from Hezbollah, Amal and several Palestinian factions) made defending Khiam a priority, and around 300 were martyred there.</p><p>While most houses suffered serious damage, the one used as a Zionist HQ was left standing, but covered in filth and with serious internal destruction. The state of the occupied house reflected the character of the occupiers.</p><p>This writer visited Khiam and that house in January and February. Meal screen doors had been blasted open with explosives and the outside and inside walls had been sprayed with automatic weapon fire, shattering walls and windows and shredding children’s clothes.</p><p>Food items including Zionist packaged rations, were strewn all over the floors and each room had been wrecked in some way. Bathroom fittings were smashed and bullets fired at the refrigerator. Bullet cartridges, weapon packages, condoms and women’s sanitary products were all over the floor, alongside the rotten food. Furniture was damaged or destroyed.</p><p>For some reason these Zionist officers did not use the toilets but rather collected their excrement in plastic bags, which were then dumped in the washing machine.</p><p>It is hard to see an objective of this wanton destruction and piggish behavior as anything other than a message of contempt for the owners, aimed at discouraging return to a region that they had tried to colonize. If there is no withdrawal by 18 February it seems likely the Lebanese resistance will again move to punish and expel the last of them.</p><p>Tim Anderson<br>Source: <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/articles/features/occupation-pigs-of-south-lebanon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Al Mayadeen</a></p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=16992" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">16992</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/hezbollah/" target="_blank">#hezbollah</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/lebanon/" target="_blank">#lebanon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a></p>

abolitionmedia<p><strong>Palestinian Resistance and World Opinion Outraged by Brazen US Colonial Gaza Scheme</strong></p><p></p><p>After US President Donald Trump introduced his “takeover” scheme for the Gaza Strip, which entails the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians recovering from the 15-month-long Zionist genocide, a wave of backlash swept the political scene as world leaders condemned and rejected the plot.</p><p>Trump predicted the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, home to more than two million Palestinians, could become “the Riviera of the Middle East” as he announced his plan to seize the territory, even if it entails the ethnic cleansing of around 2.4 million people.</p><p>“The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too. We’ll own it. And be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on this site,” Trump said.</p><p>“The Riviera of the Middle East. This could be something that could be so magnificent,” Trump said at a joint press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at which he again voiced hopes that Palestinians could be forced out of their homeland and said the United States would redevelop the territory.</p><p>Although Trump’s rhetoric was blunt, the idea of forcibly displacing Palestinians from their homeland has been a recurring theme in Zionist discourse since the establishment of the occupation. Often referred to with terminology like “transfer” or “incentivized immigration,” these terms have long served as a facade for what is, in effect, ethnic cleansing. The strategy has relied on making life in the occupied territories increasingly intolerable, pushing millions of Palestinians into permanent displacement under the guise of voluntary relocation.</p><p>Now, Trump sets his sights on the ravaged Palestinian territories for a new urban development project, a plan that, if realized, would result in the forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.</p><p>Meanwhile, a smug Netanyahu said that Trump’s plan for the US to take control of the Gaza Strip would “change history.” The Zionist prime minister said, “It’s worth paying attention to” Trump’s ideas on Gaza.</p><p>The US president further explained that he expected the US to take “long-term ownership” of the Gaza Strip, saying that it would create “thousands of jobs” in the region. He also called for the displacement of Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, after previously suggesting that they be housed in Egypt and Jordan on a permanent basis.</p><p>He said that he would not allow for “the rebuilding and occupation” of Gaza by the same people, instead floating the idea of a US takeover of the besieged territory.</p><p>“It should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people that have really stood there and fought for it and lived there and died there and lived a miserable existence there,” he said.</p><p>“I do see a long-term ownership position, and I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East and maybe the entire Middle East,” Trump told reporters.</p><p>“This was not a decision made lightly, everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land,” he boasted.</p><p>Despite regional governments, parties, and Palestinians rejecting the displacement of Palestinians Trump continued to tout the idea, making it the focal point of Tuesday’s meeting with Netanyahu.</p><p>“We continue to press for this idea that Jordan and Egypt take Palestinians from Gaza,” he said. “Yeah, I would like to see Jordan, I’d like to see Egypt take some [Palestinians].”</p><p>Reports state that Jordan, a long participation in US and Zionist colonialism, is potentially preparing to declare war on the entity if the US scheme moves forward. Another US imperialist puppet, the Egyptian state, released a statement strongly opposing the scheme stating it is a threat to Egyptian national security and could put the Camp David Accords at risk.</p><p>Universally the project was condemned by nation-states and political organizations. For instance, Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro weighed in on former US President Donald Trump’s remarks about Gaza, warning that such a move could trigger an even worse war.</p><p>“They are about to ignite the worst war, based on their belief that they are God’s chosen people,” Petro said.</p><p>He emphasized that “God’s people are not white Americans or ‘Israelis.’ God’s people are all of humanity.”</p><p>The Palestinian Resistance also issued harsh condemnation of US colonial ambitions in Palestine.</p><p><strong>Hamas</strong> condemned Trump’s statements “in the strongest terms.” “We affirm that these statements are hostile to our people and our cause and will not serve stability in the region. Rather, they will pour oil on the fire. We will not allow any country in the world to occupy our land or impose guardianship over our great Palestinian people who have offered rivers of blood to liberate our land from occupation and to establish our Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital.”</p><p>Hamas called on Trump to retract his statements, which they deemed irresponsible and at odds with international law. They called on the Arab League and UN to address these comments.</p><p><strong>Palestinian Islamic Jihad</strong> considered that Trump’s comments, made while receiving the wanted Netanyahu, “are nothing more than a new version of the ill-fated Balfour Promise—where those who have nothing are promised to those who do not deserve it.”</p><p>They called the event “a meeting between the war criminal and the arrogant real estate mogul, which epitomized the reality of the American-zionist project in our region.” This project works through&nbsp; intimidation, brute force, and genocide, “flouting all laws, regulations, and the will of our peoples.”</p><p>PIJ affirmed that these statements leave no doubt that the US is leading a war of genocide, displacement, and the expansion of occupation. They considered Trump’s plans, from ending UNRWA to seizing land, are a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security.</p><p>PIJ concluded: “Our Palestinian people, who have been resisting for over a hundred years, will not succumb to the dictates of Trump or anyone else. His foolish statements will only serve as motivation for us to reinforce our resistance until we achieve our objectives of liberating our land and ending the occupation. Our Palestinian people and their resistance forces are more determined and resolute than ever in confronting these conspiracies, and we call on the Arab and Islamic peoples to stand against this conspiratorial project, which targets all the peoples of our region and portends serious impending threats.”</p><p><strong>The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine</strong> was similarly direct: Gaza is not a real estate project.</p><p>They considered the statements “nothing but an extension of the genocide war waged by the Zionist enemy under the direct American cover, and an attempt to establish a new colonial project based on ethnic cleansing and the uprooting of our people from their land.”</p><p>They added: “Gaza is not a commodity in the hands of a war merchant like Trump or anyone else; rather, it is an integral part of historical Palestine, which stretches from Ras al-Naqoura to Rafah, and it is the gateway upon which the forces of colonialism have repeatedly crashed throughout history.”</p><p>“Any dream of controlling Gaza is merely an illusion that will shatter against the rock of the steadfastness and resistance of our people, and the fate of any American occupation force in the Strip will be no different from that of the zionist enemy; our people will confront it with all their strength and determination, just as they repelled the zionist aggression.”</p><p>“Gaza will forever remain a graveyard for invaders and an oasis of steadfastness and resistance for its free and dignified people.”</p><p>The PFLP called on all people to “confront this colonial scheme.” “We especially urge the active forces in the United States to take to the streets and declare their rejection of this new crime, which reflects the true face of American imperialism that colludes with the zionist occupation. Our struggle against this colonial, extirpatory project is the battle of all free peoples who reject colonialism, displacement, and the uprooting of a free people from their land.”</p> <p><strong>The Mujahideen Movement</strong> strongly condemned the statements of Trump and those around him. They considered the statements to reflect a determination to continue aggression against the Palestinian people. They noted that attempts to obstruct reconstruction serve the zionist agenda. They affirmed that Trump will not achieve what Biden was not able to. “The genocide committed by the Nazi zionists with American weaponry failed to displace our people, and Trump’s threats will not succeed in what their criminal arms failed to achieve.</p><p>The Deputy Secretary-General, Dr. Salem Attallah, suggested moving zionist settlers to an American state, as “no zionist invader will ever have our security and safety on our land as long as there’s a people and the determines resistance committed to reclaiming all its legitimate rights.” He noted that the international system has become a tool of American-zionist hegemony and arrogance.</p><p>The Movement also noted that Trump’s reception of the criminal Netanyahu represents contempt for ICC decisions, and they rejected his statements that “expose the ugly face of the United States.” They stated, like other factions, that Trump’s plans are a serious threat to the region and world.&nbsp; Yet, they noted that a people who faced American weapons for 15 months will not kneel to American words: “his plans will fail due to the steadfast resistance of our people.”</p><p><strong>The Popular Resistance Committees</strong> saw the statements as embodying American values. They considered Trump’s reception of Netanyahu as a reward for his “fascist entity’s genocide against women, children, and the elderly…with American support.”</p> <p>They called for popular action rejecting Trump’s statements globally to confront their danger.</p><p>Abu Mujahid affirmed that the Palestinian people and their resistance will thwart the goals of the zionist enemy, remaining steadfast and again foiling displacement plans.</p><p>“The plan to displace and eradicate our people has fallen and failed under the feet of our displaced people who returned to their land from which they were displaced under the bombing, destruction and war of zionist-American genocide.”</p><p>He added that “Egypt and Jordan will not allow the existence of an alternative homeland for the Palestinians…” and that American administrations have not broken the will of the Palestinian people despite their unlimited resources.</p><p>Abu Mujahid noted: “If Arab countries refuse to normalize with the zionist entity and submit to the&nbsp; American decision biased towards the criminal zionist entity, and stop paying the billions of dollars with which America finances its aggression against our peoples, then the criminal Trump will not be able to implement his malicious criminal plans.”</p><p>“It is time for us, as a Palestinian people, to put aside all our differences and adhere to our unity on the basis of protecting the constants and legitimate Palestinian national rights.”</p> <p><b>An appeal issued by the Deputy Secretary-General of the Popular Fro</b>nt<b> for the Liberation of Palestine, Jamil Mazhar</b></p><p>Unity of the national ranks to confront the American-Zionist plans for displacement and ethnic cleansing</p><p>In light of the dangerous developments that have been revealed again through the statements of US President Donald Trump, which were not limited to justifying the crimes of the occupation and supplying it with weapons, but extended to reveal American intentions to control the sector and impose arrangements aimed at forcibly displacing our people and redrawing the political and geographical landscape in a way that serves the occupation and its expansionist projects, we in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine call for a unified and serious national position to confront these liquidation projects that target our existence, identity and historical rights.</p><p>What our people are exposed to today from comprehensive Zionist aggression, escalation of aggression and Judaization plans in the West Bank, and premeditated Zionist intentions for the systematic forced displacement of our people, is part of an integrated plan aimed at reproducing a new Nakba with direct American support. Trump’s recent statements about the need for “complete control over <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#Gaza</a>” clearly reveal the true intentions of the US administration and its partners in the Zionist entity, who seek to empty the Strip of its population in order to achieve plans targeting the West Bank by imposing new facts on the ground. It is no longer acceptable for the state of waiting or fragmentation and division in the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestinian/" target="_blank">#Palestinian</a> arena to continue. What is required today is a comprehensive and unified confrontation of these dangers, by rejecting all internal differences and immediately engaging in a comprehensive national and popular confrontation.</p><p>In this context, we call for:</p><p>1. Demanding President Mahmoud Abbas to call for an immediate meeting of the secretaries-general of the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestinian/" target="_blank">#Palestinian</a> factions in order to develop a unified national plan to confront the dangers threatening the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestinian/" target="_blank">#Palestinian</a> cause and thwart the US-Zionist plans, so that this meeting results in the formation of a temporary national leadership that will manage the field and political confrontation, strengthen the steadfastness of our people, organize popular movements and resistance against the occupation, and thwart displacement and liquidation projects.</p><p>2. Forming a national consensus government to manage the situation in the West Bank and <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#Gaza</a>, lead reconstruction and relief operations, and break the siege, and coordinate political, diplomatic, and legal efforts to prosecute the occupation for its crimes.</p><p>3. Escalating the confrontation in the occupied West Bank by strengthening resistance work in all its forms against the occupation army and settler gangs, and imposing new equations that put an end to the ongoing Zionist terrorism against our people.</p><p>4. Building an Arab and international position supporting our people through intensive action to expose the American-Zionist plans, mobilizing the broadest political and popular solidarity with our struggle, imposing international isolation on the Zionist entity, and blocking any attempts to provide international or regional cover for displacement and liquidation projects, especially Trump’s plans.</p><p>We are facing an existential danger that requires mobilizing all the energies of our people and unifying efforts in confronting the American-Zionist aggression, including working to defeat all attempts to dismantle or liquidate our cause. The recent American statements are a clear announcement of Trump’s and the occupation’s intentions, and are a warning to all national forces that our battle today is a battle of existence, requiring unity of position and investing all energies in serving the goal of thwarting these plans.</p><p>Deputy Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – Jamil Mazhar<br>Thursday: 6-February-2025</p> Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades – Youth of Revenge and Liberation also released a statement: O free people of our nation, this is Palestine, the land of our ancestors. It has endured successive waves of colonialism and occupation, as the entire world has, throughout history, attempted to uproot us from our land through schemes of displacement, expulsion, and extermination—from the emergence of the zionist idea up to the era of Trump. Yet, the will, resilience, and steadfastness of our people and our resistance have thwarted and will continue to thwart all these attempts. Trump and his reckless statements will pass, just as his so-called “Deal of the Century” did before him, and just as those who preceded him have vanished. Meanwhile, we shall remain firmly rooted in our land like the olive trees, with our people and our resistance, until the complete liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea.We, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades – Youth of Revenge and Liberation in Palestine,<b> </b>state the following:<p></p><p><b>First:</b> We reject Trump’s statements and schemes and affirm that his continued rhetoric will ignite fire across the region and the entire world.</p><p><b>Second:</b> Our people, our resistance, and the free people of the world will not stand idly by in the face of any attempts to uproot our people from their land. Let the Al-Aqsa Flood serve as an example.</p><p><b>Third:</b> We call for the dissolution of the Security Coordination Authority and for unity behind the path of resistance to defend the Palestinian people and their destiny.</p><p>O free people of the world, we have seen your honor and courage in rejecting the war of extermination against our people in proud Gaza. We now call upon you to take a firm and swift stand against these statements, to take to the streets and public squares in rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from their land and homeland.</p><p>It is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.</p><p>Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades – Youth of Revenge and Liberation – Palestine</p><p>February 5, 2025</p> <p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=16724" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">16724</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/gaza/" target="_blank">#gaza</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestinian/" target="_blank">#palestinian</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/us-imperialism/" target="_blank">#usImperialism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-asia/" target="_blank">#westAsia</a></p>
Proletarian Rage<p>A thing that I didn't notice on time is that Mohamed Deif the very first day explained the reasons of <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/AlAqsaFlood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlAqsaFlood</span></a>. The western media propaganda made so much noise that made it invisible.<br>So, let's put it (even belatedly) as a historical document that all the West pretended never appeared.</p><p>"On the day of the attack, Deif gave an audio address, his first since 2021, justifying it as a response to the "desecration" of the al-Aqsa Mosque and the killing and wounding of hundreds of Palestinians in 2023.[19][42][43] He called on Palestinians and Arab Israelis to "expel the occupiers and demolish the walls".[43][44] Announcing the start of "Operation Al-Aqsa Storm," Deif said that "In light of the continuing crimes against our people, in light of the orgy of occupation and its denial of international laws and resolutions, and in light of American and western support, we've decided to put an end to all this so that the enemy understands that he can no longer revel without being held to account."[8][11]"</p>
abolitionmedia<p><strong>Palestinian Political Prisoner Khalida Jarrar’s Solitary Detention Extended</strong></p><p></p><p>On December 23, the Zionist regime announced the extension of Khalida Jarrar’s solitary confinement until January 22, 2025.</p><p>Khalida Jarrar, Palestinian human rights activist, feminist, leftist and former member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, was abducted by the occupation forces on December 26, 2023 and ordered to administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial. Since August 12, she has been isolated in inhumane conditions, separated from her fellow Palestinian women prisoners and completely cut off from the world.</p><p>For 133 days, Khalida Jarrar has been held in solitary confinement in a very small cell, measuring just 2 by 1.5 meters, where the only available space is occupied by a mattress. The cell also contains a tiny toilet. It is completely enclosed, with no windows for ventilation or fresh air.</p><p>In a letter passed on to her lawyer she testified:</p><p>“I die every day. The cell is like a small closed box where no air enters. There is only a toilet in the cell with a small window above it, which was later sealed just on day after my transfer. They left me no space to breathe, and even what is called the “ashnav” (peephole) on the cell door was sealed. There is only a small opening where i sit most of the time to breathe. I am suffocating in my cell, waiting for the hours to pass, hoping to find some oxygen particles to breathe and stay alive.”</p><p>Khalida Jarrar was imprisoned as punishment for her academic and research work. Shortly before her arrest, she had published a research paper on the conditions of detention in Zionist prisons after October 7, and was due to attend an international colloquium. Her imprisonment is an attack on Palestinian academia and the universal right to education.</p><p>This solitary confinement is a deliberate attack on Khalida Jarrar’s life and an attack on all Palestinian prisoners. Khalida Jarrar is being targeted because of the model of resistance and fighting spirit she represents for her fellow prisoners. The Zionist regime believes that by distancing resistance leaders from their people, it will succeed in annihilating the resistance.</p><p>But the entire people embody the heroic and tireless resistance of the Palestinian people, as shown by Gaza, the steadfast, despite more than a year of genocide.</p><p>source: <a href="https://samidoun.net/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Samidoun</a></p><p><a href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=13343" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/?p=</span><span class="invisible">13343</span></a></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/al-aqsa-flood/" target="_blank">#alAqsaFlood</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/khalida-jarrar/" target="_blank">#khalidaJarrar</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/palestine/" target="_blank">#palestine</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/political-prisoners/" target="_blank">#PoliticalPrisoners</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/repression/" target="_blank">#repression</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://abolitionmedia.noblogs.org/tag/west-bank/" target="_blank">#westBank</a></p>
