This is a stunning and detailed glimpse into the minds, hearts, & steadfastness behind the Tufan. The global intifada is here ❤️‍🔥

What an illuminating and reverberatory piece, Dr. Abdou. (For those of us less able, less brave, less connected... more ignorant - your writing points to how any sincere participation with blessed Jihad is tapping into the source of collective liberation... is healing... is acceptance of eternal, inevitable freedoms. Thank you!)

I keep thinking about this piece. It’s so beautiful. This was a moment of freedom and hope to last a lifetime that really should ignite more people. Thank you for this.

I don’t even know what to say. The reading of this article, this man—Sinwar has humbled me like nothing I’ve experienced. The amount of planning is astonishing. I wish that everyone would read this.

God bless

That was quite the read. An illuminating look into the motivations of what's happening in Gaza, which the general western press simply ignores.

God bless you Andrea. Thank you for your kindness. May Allah keep me on the right track and grant our peoples, movements, resistance, prisoners & their families genuine liberation

Thank you for your kind words, reading and engagements Gigi. There are no sources on the paragliding shell company in English. This communique is the sole account in English that narrates that story. The paragliding company fact was briefly disclosed in the cited Arabic interview on Al-Jazeera and hasn't been reported on elsewhere though it comes from trustworthy sources. Our mujahideen are full of surprises mashallah and I'm sure there is much that we don't know and even more so that will never come to light for innumerable reasons of strategy, tactic, secrecy. The focus in my opinion is how we transplant the many organizing lessons they teach in the local geographies in which we are located.

Thank you for the illuminating piece, much appreciated! Question: how do you reconcile your support for the resistance as a hierarchical, state-like project (i.e. Hamas as a party that certainly engaged in forms of statecraft) with your anarchist politics?

Dr. Mohamed Abdou مُحَمَّد's avatar

Thank you for reading. There’s a distinction between Hamas’ political wing in Qatar and what the honorable General Sinwar transformed Hamas’ commitments to in Gaza upon his freeing from Zionist prison. From a theological perspective Hamas is warring for the Muslim concept of the Ummah. For more on this see Communique #2.
