🟡 Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades:
—
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
"Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought because they were wronged, and indeed Allah is capable of granting them victory."
Allah is the greatest... Allah is the greatest... And Praise be to Allah.
O masses of our great Palestinian people,
Your sons and the victorious soldiers of your triumphant Brigades, with thanks to Allah, His strength, and His guidance, managed to confront the invading zionist enemy forces that entered the town of Yamun, west of Jenin. They targeted the enemy with bullets and locally-made explosive devices, inflicting direct and confirmed injuries on the enemy's forces after our heroic fighters set a well-planned ambush, with the soldiers' screams echoing in the area.
The enemy acknowledged the injury of a zionist soldier, and we challenge them to reveal the rest of their losses inflicted upon them by our heroic fighters.
Our brave fighters engaged in fierce and intense clashes with direct and heavy gunfire and locally-made explosive devices against the occupation forces as they fled and withdrew from the town.
This is a revolution and an armed uprising until victory.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - Palestine,
Occupied land.
Today, we remember. Tal Al-Zaatar. Hill of Thyme, where 3,000 Palestinians were martyred by zionist-backed Christian militias.
"I am Ahmad, the Arab.
I am the bullet, the orange, the memories,
And I found myself close to myself,
So I distanced myself from the dew and the maritime scene,
Tal Al-Zaatar, the tent,
And I am the homeland that came and inhabited me,
And I am the constant journey to the homeland,
And I found myself filled with myself..."
The tragedy of Tal El Zaatar is one of darkest chapters written in the history of the liberation for Palestine. It is a crime that was committed against people who had been already dispossessed, displaced, murdered, and forgotten. It was an attempt to dispossess, displace, murder, and forget them again.
The Tal El Zaatar refugee camp for Palestinian refugees was established in 1950, an UNRWA administered refugee camp for Palestinian refugees in northeastern Beirut. The area housed, alongside Palestinian refugees, a Lebanese working class, the majority of whom had come to work under harsh conditions from the southern regions of Lebanon. The population of the area was 25,000, half of whom were Palestinians.
"I haven’t washed my blood from the bread of my enemies,
But every time my steps cross a path,
Both distant and close roads flee.
Every time I approach a capital, it throws a bag at me.
So, I take refuge on the pavement of dreams and poetry.
How much I walk toward my dream, only to be outraced by daggers.
Oh, my dream and Rome!
Beautiful you are in exile,
Dead you are in Rome,
And Haifa, from here it began,
And Ahmad, the ascent of [Mount] Carmel,
With the blessing of dew, native thyme, and home."

"I ascend from the eyes of those coming to the sunset of the plain,
I ascend from the vegetable boxes,
And the strength of things, I ascend,
I belong to my first sky and to the poor in all alleys,
They chant:
We are steadfast,
And steadfast,
And steadfast."
On April 13, 1975, an assassination attempt targeted Pierre Gemayel, the leader of the fascist Christian Kataeb Party. Gemayel accused Palestinians of being behind it. On the same day and in the same area, the Kataeb Party targeted a bus in Ain El-Rummaneh heading to the Tal El Zaatar camp, opening fire on its passengers killing 27 people. This would be the start of 15 years of bloodshed in Lebanon after the right-wing parties in Lebanon announced their war on Palestinian presence and the Lebanese parties allied with them.
The siege on the camp began in January of 1976. On June 17th, fascist forces began their attack on Tal El Zaatar. More than 8,000 bombs fell on the camp that day. Electricity, water, and roads were cut off. Hundreds of civilians were martyred or injured. On August 12th, a large attack started following Syria's entry. All kinds of atrocities were carried out, with indiscriminate killing of women, children, and elderly. Women were raped, and pregnant mothers had their bellies cut.
The survivors tell countless stories and testimonies.
A Kataeb fighter asked a Palestinian nurse for his name, and he replied: "Elias."
The fighter said, "Palestinian, and named Elias too!"
He shot him, leading to his martyrdom. ("The Siege of Tal El Zaatar: Testimonies and Analysis" by Ali Hussein Khalaf, 1976.)

"Venture into your blood, prepared for your dispersal,
And venture into my blood, united in your siege,
There's no time for exile..."
Zionism is an ideology. It can come by white supremacist foreigners, of people of color with a superiority complex, and sometimes, at the hands of your own people divided by colonial borders, driven by colonial mindsets. In any case, the crimson innocent blood spilled was the same. The losses were large, but to portray the people of the camp as victims waiting to be slaughtered is unfair to their memory. The camp fought with all might against the fascist forces. The resilience and fight for life were the same.
Um Nabil, 45, mother of ten:
"I was preparing bread for the fighters with a group of women from the camp when I learned of the martyrdom of my son Kayed, 22 years old. I went to the place where his body lay, kissed him, left him, and returned without telling his brothers so as not to shatter their determination.
"A week later, I learned and endured the martyrdom of my son Fares, 25 years old. The heart of a mother couldn't bear more. I endured in silence because I was a role model for the mothers of martyrs. My son Nabil left through the mountain path. Until this day, I haven't heard anything about him.
"They stormed the camp while my son Khaled (14) and I were inside. They separated the men and took the girls, conducting a humiliating search of the women. A patrol came by and asked me where I got a child like him, as he was fair-haired with green eyes while I was dark-skinned. They said, 'It's a shame for Palestinians to have someone like him.'
I answered them defiantly, with a loud voice, 'He is Palestinian, he is my son, and the son of Palestine.'
"As soon as I finished speaking, they fired on him. I didn't flinch; I stood my ground. They ordered me to step on him, but I refused and told them I know this ending, and this is our destiny. We will never kneel, as long as we still have a baby who needs to be nursed."
(From "Beirut Beirut", Sana Allah Ibrahim - 1984.)

"The camp was Ahmad's body,
Damascus was Ahmad's eyelids,
Hijaz was Ahmad's shadows,
The siege became Ahmad's passage over the hearts of millions,
The captives [of Ahmad].
The siege became Ahmad's attack,
And the sea, his final bullet!"
After the invasion, the camp was levelled to the ground. Perhaps to feign that it was never even there.
It is estimated that over 3,000 people were murdered. Reports suggest that 2,200 of them were murdered on August 12th alone. There is an unknown number of missing people and people who were buried under the rubble. It's been 47 years. No one was ever held accountable for the Tal El-Zaatar Massacre. Justice was never brought. Had there not been survivors to tell their stories, perhaps it would have never been remembered.
After those who committed the crime, and the ones who stood and watched realized that all the attempts made to "justify" the bloodshed and evade accountability were vain, they sought to erase the memory of a camp of refugees who fought with its men, women, and children yet another Nakba.
We have a duty to bring these stories to light. We must remember. Otherwise, we are complicit in the same crime despite the time that has passed.

"I am Ahmad the Arab, let the siege come,
My body is the ramparts, so let the siege come,
And I am the boundaries of fire, so let the siege come,
And I am besieging you,
I am besieging you,
And my chest is the door to all people, so let the siege come,"
We must never forget our history. We must never forget the suffering of our people and the series of events that led us to where we are today.
Knowledge is part of our fight for liberation. It is as essential a pillar as armed struggle. Ahmed Al-Jaabari said, "A rifle that is not educated kills, but does not liberate." George Habash said, "The politically unconscious fighter is like pointing the barrel of a gun to his chest." What knowledge is more important to liberation than the history of your own people?
Our path to liberation comes through knowledge, the knowledge of our own struggle first, through the history of our ancestors, our elders. Perhaps we can never erase—or ease—the pain our people endured. We can never make it up to the lives that were lost. Sometimes, I wonder if liberation will avenge them. But if we can't undo the past, and if we can't save those who are already gone, we must honor their memory. We must never forget. We must pass it to our children, generation after generation. We must remember. And so today, we remember.
"O country, armed within my blood,
Resist!
Now, I complete my song in you,
And delve into your siege,
And now, I complete my questions in you,
And birth from your dust.
Venture into my heart, and you'll find my people,
Nations in your explosion."
