Statement from Fauda (anarchist group in Palestine)

An important and decisive war has begun in Occupied Palestine. We spent the eighteenth day of the "Al-Aqsa Storm" operation while more than 4,900 Palestinians have been martyred in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and more than 15,000 people injured. Since the beginning of this war, the Fauda movement has used all its field and media resources to confront the fascist Zionists. Our young people in the West Bank, every day and night, are struggling and fighting the Israeli army and the security forces of the treacherous Palestinian Authority (PA) complementing the Zionist project in the West Bank.

We declare to every Zionist who has been occupying our land that we will resist until the last moment of our lives. And even if this war ends, we will be like active bombs which move in your settlements and rob you of your normal daily life. You will never be at peace in our land. We will not leave you alone as long as you occupy our land. Get out of it and get on with your lives. We request all free people in the world to burn the Israeli flag and march towards Israeli embassies in all countries. Do your duty and be the voice of the Palestinians and the voice of all the innocent children and women who are being killed under the barbaric and brutal bombing of the Zionists. We tell all our enemies in the Zionist apartheid regime that we have a lot of surprises for you. And know that we will be on the lookout for you from the north to the south of Palestine, whether inside the occupied territory in the West Bank or even in the Gaza Strip.

We are anarchists. We are legends. We don't forget. We don't forgive. Expect us.

I imagine you'd be the kind of useless faux-radical who would hear a speech against slavery in the 1860s and demand to know if the speaker denounces Nat Turner killing "innocent" whites. Palestine is facing genocide, there are more important priorities than adding five hundred extra words to a two paragraph statement in order to appease cowards like you who will scold people facing genocide for how they talk but won't help them fight back.
كُل خرا، انت فاشل

All you got for arguments are imperatives based on resentment and urgency. Just more instrumentalized hatred and bigotry, that Hamas and the Likud are actively supporting. It's one thing to call for a ceasefire and support to Palestinian civilians, but that's quite another realm to advocate for more random mass killings of civilians.

Who is really playing in the hands of Zionist fascists here?

You are the one playing into the Zionists' hands.
>> Ceasefire and support to Palestinian civilians
Every ceasefire the Zionists still kill, still steal land, still cut off water and siege Gaza, call for liberation nothing less, otherwise why even be an anarchist? In fact if you won't just call for a free Palestine but actively fight for it what's the point of your politics? What is achieved calling yourself an anarchist if you aren't able to respond to apartheid and genocide by backing up people resisting it?
>> random mass killings of civilians
Fauda said nothing advocating mass killings, threatening to disrupt the lives of genocidal settlers stealing land in the West Bank isn't a mass killing, it's not even killing civilians, it's direct confrontation of paramilitary settlers who every day attack Palestinian homes, destroy their farms, burn their cars, harass them in their towns and even straight up kill them regularly. Even the UN accepts that settlers in occupied areas are actively engaging in active colonization and violence and are not entitled to impunity. Imagine being an anarchist less radical than a UN document.

Neither anyone in these comments nor Fauda have ever said a word in support of Hamas, they have supported resistance to occupation, which is something that any anarchists with principle should be able to understand as a basic necessity for the freedom of anyone, Palestinian, Jewish or otherwise.

I imagine you'd be the kind of useless faux-radical who would hear a speech against slavery in the 1860s and demand to know if the speaker denounces Nat Turner killing "innocent" whites.

And I imagine that you are a posturing lightweight who has never been involved in anything that any functional adult would take seriously as an expression of opposition to the existing state of things. Saying your fingers got tired before you could evolve the backbone to say anything about and against right-wing anti-Semite religious psychopaths shows why you should stick to what you are best suited to - pestering your Mom to loan you the keys to her Audi.

Can Thecollective remove this Jihadist trash!? In the second paragraph, this resentment-fueled drivel shitted from a shady bunch of West Bank "anarchists" is quite literally calling for more indiscriminate killings of Israeli settlers ("Zionists") for Palestine.

If that's the exit plan for this site, then so be it, but I'm still gonna remind even our enemies and haters that murdering random civilians over nationalist imperatives has got nothing to do with anarchy, and is even contradictory with our goals, no matter how you try bending and twisting it to your bloody despotic agendas.

Thank you.

M8 anarchistnews has been posting questionable stuff on both sides of topics for like 15 years. That's why it's cool.

If this is the first time ur triggered ur really not paying attention.

Why did you say it was jihadist?

they don't mention god at all.

they don't build their politics around islamic identity whatsoever.

so why did you say it?

you're comment is racist. you probably did not intend it that way and surely you fight against racism in other respects.

demanding that every statement condemn hamas is more or less ridiculous and is exactly the kind of discourse that the bush-era nazi-conservatives pushed after 9/11. "why won't the moderate muslims come forward to denounce the radicals?"

What would happen to a group of staunch Leninists who met the White Guard, who collaborated with the enemy and promoted theocratic ideas? Would the latter end well? The treatment of the labor thieves was brutal.
Of course I am not a Leninist, but too many people misunderstand revolution. The conservative revolution is no match for materialism.
People usually think they are "revolutionary", but they don't even know what they are talking about.

Three weeks in @news finally includes some Palestinian voices. Thanks. More please.

OooOooh nooOoo, jihadist anarchists on my beloved non-sectarian @news!

where does it say islam or god in the original post? is it because they are palestinian and you believe all arabs are members of isis?

Hamas are neither Islamists on the surface... yet they fucking picked the Mufti of Jerusalem, and their protesters and mujaheedin are chanting to Allah every fucking time. We yet have to see Palestinian groups that are both (1) not closet or blatant antisemites (2) opposed to religions, starting with Islam. So put that up in your next statement?

"put that up in your next statement"

- Someone who doesn't know how any of this works

Antisemitism is a specifically Christian phenomenon.
Saying that Palestinians (yes even Hamas) are motivated by antisemitism is like saying that Mandela and the ANC were motivated by antiboerism.

You're an idiot. European (Christian) antisemitism was imported to the Middle East in the early 19th century -- the Damascus blood libel case is the first documented episode -- but Muslim Jew-hatred predates that, going back to the massacre of the Banu Qurayza instigated by Mohammad himself.

Jews lived in Muslim countries for centuries and sometimes rose high in society. This was not possible in Europe. Not to praise the dhimmi system but at least there was a level of religious tolerance built in. Europe could never make up its mind what to do with us, the one semi legitimate religious minority.

It’s amazing to me that you think incidents from late antiquity are more relevant than the past 75 years.

They were all ethnically cleansed at the end so maybe it isn't such an amazing example for arab tolerance and lack of racism

No but the “end” was a response to the nakba… I’m simply drawing a contrast not idealizing Islam!

Every culture/religion/race has performed pogroms upon another in the history of mankind so what's so surprising, really?

This is the one that's happening now and this is the one we want to intervene in. The war pigs are destroying the earth, they're homicidal suicidal maniacs.

Don't seperated the Abrahamic groups as if their collective world view is different, THEY ARE ALL TOXIC! For example a group of Jewish extremists called the Sicarii overcame the Christianized Roman garrison of Masada and settled there. The Sicarii were commanded by Eleazar ben Ya'ir and in 70 CE they were joined by additional Sicarii and their families expelled from Jerusalem by the Jewish population with whom the Sicarii were in conflict. Shortly thereafter, following the Roman siege of Jerusalem and subsequent destruction of the Second Temple, additional members of the Sicarii and many Jewish families fled Jerusalem and settled on the mountaintop, with the Sicarii using it as a refuge and base for raiding the surrounding countryside. According to modern interpretations of Josephus, the Sicarii were an extremist splinter group of the Zealots and were equally antagonistic to both Romans and other Jewish groups, a contrast to the Sicarii, who carried the main burden of the rebellion, which opposed Roman rule of Judea.
According to Josephus, on Passover, the Sicarii raided Ein Gedi, a nearby Jewish settlement, and killed 700 of its inhabitants.

What did the Romans ever do for Israel?.........They brought public baths and sewerage, fresh water fountains to public squares, free entertainment and bread at the weekend, law and order yet amoral sexual freedoms.

Can we stop endorsing these fanatics?

the american flag, the russian flag, the ukranian flag, the chinese flag, the saudi arabian flag. Maybe anarchists should stop waving the black flag and just have flag burning parties.

i thought martyrs were people who died on purpose.

this conflict is too quiet, not enough blood, what is needed is more hate, bravo!

play the game of hamas and Netanyahu, bravo!

you are just a maoist group rebranded.

I wonder why people on this site are having such an easier time rejecting solidarity with Palestine than with Ukraine.

Maybe it's time for anarchists to just admit that they don't have the solutions for either situation and that their rhetorical "support" means NOTHING in either case

What?? You could make that case about literally ANY situation. Anarchists will NEVER admit not having the solution!!!

So maybe anarchists should quit pretending to be more knowledgeable and insightful about every global conflict than they actually are (witness Crimethinc.'s pathetic attempts at being the anarchist Council on Foreign Relations)
