🚨 IOF bulldozers started demolishing the Khillet Amira School, which provides education to 70 students in the town of Khillet Al-Maiyya, east of Yatta, #AlKhalil.

The school has been attacked by settlers, with windows broken and contents vandalized.

The IOF also demolished 5 Palestinian homes and a sheep pen in Masafer Yatta.

This comes only about a week after 11 houses were demolished in Masafer Yatta and dozens of homes destroyed in the past few weeks.

The enemy's escalation in targeting the neighborhoods of Gaza City and continuing indiscriminate bombing against civilians across the city, destroying residential blocks, and targeting shelters and health centers are compounded crimes that will remain a stain on the forehead of humanity and the international system.

We condemn the international silence and inability to address the ongoing crimes of the fascist zionist enemy against civilians, the policy of starvation, and the siege. The American administration bears the primary responsibility for this as the sponsor of the zionist entity.

The enemy is attempting, through these continuous crimes, to escape its failure in the face of the resilience and continuous innovations of the resistance, exploiting international silence and incapacity.

The enemy's continuous crimes will not undermine the determination of our people and their resistance, nor will it succeed in affecting the resistance's principles and path.

We call for the escalation of resistance operations from all fronts against the oppressive enemy and its interests. We also call on the free people of the world and the living forces in our nation to escalate activities in support of Palestine and exert more pressure on the criminal zionist entity and its supporters to stop the ongoing genocide against our people in Gaza.

On the anniversary of Ghassan Kanafani's martyrdom in 1972, we remember Ghassan's resistance and the many ways that it manifested.

Today, we honor Ghassan Kanafani, a revolutionary whose name is eternally carved in struggle for the liberation of Palestine.

Ghassan was not only a writer or thinker. A leader of PFLP along with George Habash, he was a military strategist, an embodiment of what martyr Basil Al-Araj called “the clashing intellectual,” despite having never fired a weapon.

It is indisputable that Ghassan's name embodies all the qualities of a real resistance fighter in his life and in his death: a writer, thinker, artist, politician, father, husband, son, revolutionary, intellectual, and fighter all at once. He understood the power of words and used them to ignite a revolution in the hearts of the people that still burns to this day and fuels acts of resistance.

It is one thing to write. It is a completely different thing to make writing a weapon. Your pen the barrel of a rifle, your words the bullets fired into the chest of the enemy. Ghassan understood that.

His left a mark on so many that it is difficult to believe it was only coincidence—from being the first to notice Naji Al-Ali’s drawings at an exhibition in Beirut and publishing his drawings, to working alongside George Habash, to influencing Mahmoud Darwish’s writings. One of his most famous quotes was: "Beware of a natural death and do not die except under a hail of bullets," inspire many resistance fighters who transform his ideology into actions. These same words are written on the grave of the Lion of Nablus, Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi.

The truth is Ghassan was a fighter who fought with his words, embodying “a cultural form of resistance is never less valuable than armed resistance itself.” This ethos was central to how he operated. His words—inspiring so many to carry the rifle and to write their own martyrdom while defiantly facing the enemy—were exactly why that same enemy needed to silence him.

With everything he offered to the cause, Ghassan could only ascend as a martyr. And so he rose, on a sunny summer day in Beirut in a Mossad assassination that targeted him and his 17-year-old niece Lamees. His body was scattered on the ground. His left hand was found on a tree.

Curiously, his watch didn’t stop ticking. "Bodies fall, but not the idea." Revolutionary thoughts do not abide by the rules of time.

"The Epic of the Martyr Ghassan Kanafani," a PFLP song produced in 2017.

Resistance - Why (1971)
Directed by Christian Ghazi.

In this once lost film, Ghassan Kanafani, Sadiq Jalal El-Azm, Nabil Shaath and others share their vision of the Palestinian revolution, tracing its history back to the early 20th century.

A subtitled interview with Ghassan Kanafani in which he talks about the origins of the Palestinian resistance movement, its goals, its enemies, and it bringing hope to the Palestinian masses amidst neglect and failure that came from the world.

The interview from which this film is from can be watched here.

A wall in Burqa, #Nablus, bears the words:

"Do not die until you become a worthy adversary.”

It is a sentiment that echoes in the memory of the martyr Montaser Mohammed Amin Mustafa Saif, found on the right side of the mural, painted to honor his unwavering commitment to the homeland and sacrifices.

Adjacent, another figure shines alongside the depiction of Saif.

To the far left of the West Bank, you can find the Gaza Strip—distinct in name but united as one Palestine, as is portrayed in this very alley in Nablus.

To the far left of Montaser Saif you can find the “elegant fighter,” Hamza Hisham Amer “Abu Hisham.”

In a trench coat that flutters behind him and a weapon of resistance in hand, just as Ghassan Kanafani's words have transcended time, so too will the image and sacrifices of Abu Hisham, forever etched in our collective memories and an image which has further stirred the hope of a near liberation.

Glory to the martyrs.
