🟢 Senior Hamas leader Osama Hamdan to Al-Manar:
—
The occupation is still surprised by the capabilities of the resistance in Gaza.

The resistance is fighting in the field at the first points of engagement and is inflicting casualties on the "israeli" ranks.

The resistance has entered a stage of continuous engagement with the "israeli" enemy.

The capabilities of the resistance are still high. The resistance is still fine.

The zionist elite brigades have collapsed in the Gaza Strip.

The enemy has a strategic question for itself: How long can this battle continue?

Communication between the resistance leadership in Gaza and the political bureau of the movement is ongoing, with its methods and tools, and there is constant close monitoring in the field. Communication with Deif and Sinwar is ongoing.

The "israeli" enemy bet on a decline in the capabilities of the resistance, but the resistance was well-prepared.

There is coordinated field action and constant consultation within the Axis of Resistance.

What happened through the Iranian response to the zionist entity has established a new equation.

One of the most important outcomes of this battle is that the Axis of Resistance is increasing in capability and strength.

The resistance has thwarted a project for a new political authority in the Gaza Strip.

Any armed soldier on the land of Gaza is an enemy of the Palestinian people.

The administration running the seaport in Gaza is the American administration.

We welcome Chinese mediation and have no objection to any positive roles.

If the enemy undertakes an operation in Rafah, negotiations will be halted because the resistance does not negotiate under fire.

We have clearly stated that our position on the current negotiation paper is negative.

The "israeli" enemy is trying to blackmail everyone with the battle of Rafah.

There is field effort by the resistance if the enemy decides to enter Rafah.

The "israeli" army is no longer convincing to anyone despite American support.

BREAKING from @defendATLforest:
Protesters have taken over the undergraduate administration building at Emory University. They are denouncing the school’s ties to US-Israeli violence in Gaza and Emory's ties to the Cop City project in Atlanta.

🚨 Resistance fighters targeted occupation forces with an explosive device during the storming of Arraba, south of #Jenin.

🚨 Following the cowardly assassination attempt by the Security Forces of the PA on a prominent resistance fighter in the Tulkarem Brigade, sirens are sounding in Nour Shams camp, #Tulkarem.

One of the leaders of the Nour Shams Brigade says: Our silence will not last long, and the persistence of these [Security] Forces in their aggression will compel us to end this silence. After that, do not blame us, blame yourselves, and you will surely learn of the news after a while…

🚨 Resistance fighters are targeting the Palestinian Authority’s headquarters in #Tulkarem with heavy gunfire in response to the most recent assassination attempt by Security Forces.

Resistant youth have also started fires in the middle of the roads to block entrance into Tulkarem camp.

🚨 FLOOD THE GATES - ESCALATE:
A 5-Part Intervention by Palestine Action US (1/3):
—
"The beginning of every revolution is an exit, an exit from the social order that power has enshrined in the name of law, stability, public interest, and the greater good." — martyr Bassel Al-Araj 

"And it follows that if a thing is not building, it is certainly decaying — that life is revolution — and that the world will die if we don't read and act out its imperatives." — martyr George Jackson


It has been 208 days since this most recent and most horrific chapter of the 75-year US-zionist genocide in Gaza began. Over 40,000 Palestinians have been martyred, but the actual death toll is likely upward of 100,000. Despite the mobilizations of millions around the world, we must acknowledge that we have not been able to stop the genocide — we have not come even close. This is a failure, but not a defeat. It demands we reckon with our errors and recalculate our strategy to win.

After October 7, we recognized immediately the need for escalatory resistance to imperialism's escalating violence. Inspired by the success of Palestine Action UK's campaign, we launched Palestine Action US, a direct action network targeting Elbit Systems, the largest zionist weapons company on earth. As new Palestine Action groups have formed globally, our actions have contributed to divestments from Elbit, drops in Elbit's profits, the sale of a US Elbit subsidiary, and the permanent closing of another Elbit factory in the UK. Through our many trials and errors, we also learned that tactics used in the UK, which has a very different legal system and economic makeup, could not simply be copy-pasted into the US context. Instead of solely targeting Elbit, we have expanded our scope to meet the urgent task of building capacity for direct action and militancy in the US anti-imperialist movement.

We make this intervention at a moment when escalation is more realizable than ever. On April 15, we saw a coordinated yet decentralized action which drove people across the world to take direct action against points of production and logistics networks including ports, bridges, weapons manufacturers, and financial institutions, targeting the very economic arteries of imperialism. Then, on April 17, students and other young people launched dozens of Gaza solidarity encampments across the US, from Columbia to Cal Poly, occupying and barricading buildings, establishing liberated zones, and defeating police invasions. In mere weeks, the anti-imperialist movement in the Belly of the Beast has advanced to a level of militancy not seen in generations. But the genocide is ongoing and the zionist invasion of Rafah is imminent. We still have a long way to go to break the war machine. 
Here are 5 of our reflections: 

1. Above all else, ESCALATE. We join in the calls to #Escalate4Gaza beyond symbolic action, because we know power won't move unless we strike fear in the heart of the ruling class and pose a threat to their reproduction of capital. As our comrades from Within Our Lifetime wrote, "Enough with de-escalation trainings; Where are the escalation trainings!" Escalate from mass rallies to mass blockades of weapons companies; from encampments to building occupations; from getting kettled by the police to kettling them back. Let repression breed more resistance. We will not disavow any actions taken to escalate the struggle, including militant direct actions. Our notion of "safety" in the imperial core is built on centuries of corpses, and this liberal framing of "safetyism" prevents us from escalating and winning, which is our duty to Palestine and us all. We keep us safe by escalating. Don't hesitate to take more risk.
