This drawing by Naji Al-Ali is considered the reason that Yasser Arafat ordered Naji's assassination. The PLO blamed the Mossad out of convenience and shame, but mounting evidence points, and always pointed to, the PLO, comprised then of petit bourgeois figures that birthed the NGO-, US-, and zionist-backed Palestinian Authority.

The good man asks, "Do you know Rashida Mehran?"
The evil man replies, "No."

"Have you heard of her?"
The reply is again, "No."

"If you don't know Rashida Mehran and haven't heard of her, how did you end up in the General Secretariat of Palestinian Writers and Journalists? Who is supporting you in this organization, you son of a...?"

Days before his assassination, Naji told Palestinian writer Dr. Basem Sarhan, "I entrust you, whoever my killer may be, my killer is Yasser Arafat."

In 1975, Arafat gave a speech in Kuwait in which he stated, "Who is this Naji Al-Ali? Tell him if he does not stop drawing to put his fingers in acid." Naji responded that he would continue drawing with his toes.

For this and thousands of drawings opposing imperialism, corruption, and settlement, Naji received hundreds of death threats. Naji knew his fate. He welcomed death, but lived knowing he was wanted.

Rashida Mehran was Yasser Arafat's Egyptian mistress, his cultural advisor, and the author of the book, "Arafat my God." For another book, "Yasser Arafat, the Hard Number," she was rewarded positions close to Arafat. Rashida was a member of the General Secretariat of the Union of Palestinian Writers and Journalists, alluded to in the cartoon.

Naji crossed the red lines. But this never stopped him. He predicted the intifada and foresaw the consequences of the impending Oslo Accords.

"When they mention 'red lines' to me, I lose my mind. I know one 'red line': It is not the right of the biggest ego to sign a document of recognition or surrender to 'israel.'"

Note: After August, we will be posting Naji's drawings with the hashtag #NajiSurvives.

Armed clashes broke out after the IOF invaded #Tulkarem. Resistance fighters targeted the zionist forces with gunfire and explosive devices. The IOF withdrew under gunfire after arresting one Palestinian.
The resistance in #Gaza fires a barrage of missiles towards the sea as part of a training maneuver.
🚨 Earlier this morning, forces of the traitorous Palestinian Authority began pursuing resistance fighters in #Tulkarem, opening fire on them and other residents indiscriminately. Clashes sparked after the PA forces removed barriers set up by the resistance to impede the movement of zionist forces, a move that has previously raised tension in the camp.

Resistance fighter Abdel Qader Zaqdah ascended to martyrdom after being shot by PA forces.

Upon his arrival to Thabet Thabet hospital, the forces–in true occupation fashion–stormed the hospital to brutalize those mourning the martyr. Palestinians are now mobilizing across #Tulkarem in protest of the occupation’s agents.

Glory to our martyrs.
🚨 An IOF soldier was injured in an alleged run-over operation near "Haggai" settlement #AlKhalil. The driver is seriously wounded.
🟡 Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades statement concerning the martyr who ascended by the bullets of the Palestinian Authority in Tulkarem:

"If their intention is only to betray you (O Prophet), they sought to betray Allah before. But He gave you power over them. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”
This is the truth of Allah Almighty.

"Treason is practiced in Palestine without shame."

O sons of our Palestinian people, O men of conquest, O people of the regions, O lions of the brigades,

We have continuously urged the Palestinian Authority to stop the arrests and pursuit of the resistance fighters. We have affirmed our clear commitment not to deviate from our path and not to pay attention to the treacherous acts carried out by some of the Authority's leadership. We have called for reform.

However, after the events of today, we declare unequivocally that from this moment onwards, we will cut off any hand that extends to our resistance fighters, any tongue that harms them, and any hand that hands them over to the occupation.

Oh sons of the Fatah movement, our movement that has never hesitated to provide martyrs and prisoners, is facing a zionist conspiracy to eliminate it completely, through leaders appointed by "Tel Aviv's" rulers.

O sons of Al-Yasser, Abu Jihad, Abu Iyad, Al-Jandal, [Raed] Al-Karmi, [Nayef] Abu Sharkh, Al-Wafa, [Marwan] Al-Zalloum, and [Atef] Al-Abyat:

Any project that shackles the resistance is betrayal. Our project is confrontation with the occupation with a long-term effort until it is defeated.

We in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, as we mourn the martyr in Tulkarem, affirm the following:

- We mourn the heroic martyr Abdel Qader Zaqdah, who was ascended at the hands of bullets of treachery and betrayal in Tulkarem camp.

🟡 Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades statement concerning the martyr who ascended by the bullets of the Palestinian Authority in Tulkarem: — "If their intention is only to betray you (O Prophet), they sought to betray Allah before. But He gave you power over them.…
- We call upon the leaders of the Fatah movement and the brigades in the regions, cities, and villages to clearly and explicitly reject the treacherous practices against our heroes, to reactivate all military groups, and to hold those involved in betraying the wills of our martyrs and prisoners accountable.

- From this moment, the Authority and its apparatuses are forbidden from entering the Tulkarem camp, and the answer will be through bullets. The entry of the [PA] Security Forces will be dealt with as the entry of the occupation.

- We call on the men of the Security Services, their lions and honorable men, to reject the orders of the leadership and to release all detainees arrested on the background of the resistance.

- Our strikes against the occupier and its collaborators are continuing. Their practices will only increase us by reactivating the brigades in all the cities and villages of the West Bank. It is the shield that protects and guarantees our people from the oppression of the occupier and his aides.

Glory and eternity to our martyrs. Shame and disgrace to the occupier and his collaborators.

The Leadership of Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - Palestine
Tulkarem mourns her martyr, Abdel Qader Zaqdah, who ascended after being shot by the treacherous forces of the Palestinian Authority after they removed barriers set up by the resistance.

Popular calls for large rallies demonstrating against the PA have begun.

PIJ mourned the martyr and stated, "We hold the Authority's forces fully responsible for this heinous crime of firing bullets at our people and injuring many of them, in a crime that crosses all lines."

🟢 Hamas strongly condemned the crime and stated, "We consider it a serious crime against security and civil peace in the West Bank, reflecting the dangerous level to which the prevailing current in the Authority has descended." "We emphasize the need to hold accountable anyone who dares to fire at citizens, pursue resistance fighters, and remove their protections."
⚫️ Saraya Al-Quds - Tulkarem Brigade:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
"And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively and know that Allah is severe in penalty."

O sons of our steadfast fighting people facing the zionist arrogance, O sons of the Tulkarem of sacrifice, and its steadfast refugee camp, Tulkarem Camp.

The enemy's army continues to launch aggression towards the city of Tulkarem, especially Tulkarem Camp, during the recent period. Thanks to Allah's grace and support to the fighters, this enemy emerges defeated and humiliated at the hands of our heroic men who sacrifice their lives cheaply in defense of their people, who have always been and still are their support and shoulder in every invasion.

It is unfortunate and distressing what happened today by the Security Forces of the Authority when they entered to remove and destroy the barriers deployed around the camp, which the resistance fighters had set up to hinder any advancement or invasion by the occupation forces. The situation escalated into gunfire towards civilians and fighters, resulting in the martyrdom of the heroic martyr Abdul Qader Zaqdah and the injury of others.

We assure you that these deployed barriers do not pose any danger or harm, as you know, and they do not contain any explosives as rumored. We affirm that the Brigade’s leadership was in contact with the relevant members of the Security Forces, but we were surprised by what happened and the gunfire directed at civilians. We also confirm that our fighters did not open fire towards their brothers working in the Security Forces, as falsely claimed. Our bullets are aimed solely at the enemy.

Your brothers, Saraya Al-Quds - Tulkarem Brigade

🚨 "I will not eat, even if they cut off my head."

Today, the occupation courts, have extended imprisoned PIJ leader Maher Al-Akhras' detention by a week for the second time. Steadfast, Sheikh Maher continues his hunger strike for the eighth day.

Sheikh Maher continues on the path of martyr Sheikh Khader Adnan, who recognized that dignity can only be taken by force, through the battle of empty intestines.

The IOF's decision to kidnap freed prisoner and long-time hunger striker Maher Al-Akhras is an order to assassinate him, as was the case with martyr Khader Adnan. In a letter written by Sheikh Maher yesterday, he writes, "A zionist officer came and introduced himself and asked if I was taking any medication or anything. I told him I don't want any medication or food. He then said, 'Alright, your fate will be like Sheikh Khader; this is how we dealt with Sheikh Khader."

In fact, zionist officers continue to repeat to him, "Your fate will be like Sheikh Khader." The apparent reason for Maher's kidnapping is his attendance of the event for a freed prisoner in 2019, which is impossible because Maher was imprisoned in "Gilboa" prison at the time.

In this video, Sheikh Maher speaks after Sheikh Khader was martyred during his 86-day-long hunger strike. He promises that he will not eat if he is imprisoned, even if they cut off his head.

Sheikh Maher is currently subjected to abuse and death threats in solitary confinement in the Jalameh interrogation center, refusing food or medical examinations, despite his health condition, which is suffering due to effects of his victorious 103-day-long hunger strike in 2020. #FreeThemAll
Former IOF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz:

Every point we put our finger on in "israel" today is a point of weakness: "israeli" society, the "israeli" army, the "israeli" education system, the "israeli" economy, "israel's" foreign relations, everything. There is not a single thing that can be said to be normal.

I suggest not boasting and speaking excessively along the lines of, "We will send Lebanon back to the Stone Age."
🟡 Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - Tulkarem Brigade (Rapid Response Groups):

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
"Do not think of those who were killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, well-provided, rejoicing in what Allah has granted them out of His bounty, and they celebrate for those who have not yet joined them from behind them, that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve."
This is the truth of Allah Almighty

The Rapid Response Groups in general, and the Tulkarem Brigade in particular, mourn the heroic martyr Abdul Qader Zaqdah. We pray to Allah to accept him among the martyrs, prophets, and righteous. He was unjustly killed without any legitimate reason by the treacherous Palestinian Security Forces' bullets.

Based on that, we in the Tulkarem Brigade - Rapid Response, which is rooted in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the armed military wing of the honorable Fatah movement, affirm the following:

We in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, we have returned this year, specifically after the Oslo Authority abandoned us and renounced the armed struggle in 2007. We stand as fighters defending the religion of Allah, the honor of the nation, and its dignity. We have pledged to support the truth, whatever the cost, and we say to all those who claim to belong to Fatah and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades that the essence of Fatah's path is that of revolution, liberation, and defending Palestine. Whoever seeks that path is one of us, and whoever opposes it has no right to claim association with our illustrious Fatah movement, regardless of its name. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, as a whole, represented by its members and fighters, rejects normalization, security coordination, and believes solely in armed struggle, intifada, and the complete liberation of all of Palestine, from the sea to the river.

Furthermore, we address our people and say that since our establishment, we have endured the pursuit of the non-Palestinian Authority on one side and repeated attacks from the zionist enemy on the other, because we have demanded unity and national solidarity from the very beginning. We have confronted the occupier with all our capabilities, and Allah is our witness. Therefore, we call upon the honorable Palestinian people, in general, and the honorable members of Fatah, in particular, to urgently intervene for the immediate release of all our detainees in the prisons of the Palestinian Authority.

Also, in the Tulkarem Brigade - Rapid Response, we affirm that despite all the assassinations and arrests inflicted upon us, we remain loyal to our great leaders and founders: Yasser, [Ahmed] Yassin, Abu Ali Mustafa, and [Fathi] Shaqaqi.

Today, we will reveal the reason for using this new [page] and the reason for our transition from an offensive stance to a defensive one after carrying out several qualitative operations in a short period of time. This is due to the abduction and detention of some of the founders of the Rapid Response Brigades' groups in Palestine from Tulkarem in Jordanian prisons. Some others have been subjected to persecution and threats in American and European countries. Based on this, we demand the Jordanian government to immediately and urgently release all detainees from our victorious Brigades who are subjected to daily torture and abuse. We also declare that our hands will reach anyone who dares to harm our soldiers and leaders.

We also express our gratitude to our brothers in the Central Command for standing fully with us in supporting the truth and achieving justice. We call upon all our brothers to be present today to support the martyrs' blood and all prisoners at the Martyr Gamal Abdel Nasser Square at 8:30 PM at Al-Quds time, and thank you.

Your brothers and soldiers,
Rapid Response - Tulkarem Brigade,
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Palestine.

🚨 BREAKING: One settler is seriously wounded following a reported stabbing operation at a train station in occupied #AlQuds. Occupation forces opened fire on a Palestinian at the scene.
Ayed Adel Al-Qani of the Lions' Den has ascended to martyrdom in Kafr Qalil, Nablus as a result of an accidental detonation while preparing explosive devices.

Glory to our martyrs.
🟢 Spokesperson for the Hamas Movement in occupied #AlQuds, Mohammed Hamada:

The stabbing operation in the Al-Musara neighborhood in Al-Quds this evening is a heroic act that signifies a victory for Al-Aqsa and the blood of the martyrs. It naturally came as a response to the occupation's crimes.

Our people will not tire on the path of resistance; they will ignite all areas and deprive the enemy of any moment of tranquility. The security that our people lack under this aggression is a dream the occupation will never realize, no matter how powerful it becomes.

Salutes to our heroic resistance fighters who carry their souls in their palms and adorn Al-Quds with their most precious possessions. Pride to Al-Quds and the steadfastness of the courageous West Bank, as they outline the landmarks of victory and liberation, despite the occupier's defiance.
