Hundreds of Palestinians forced settlers to flee from Urif, #Nablus after confronting their incursion.

Today, on the second anniversary of his martyrdom at the hands of the traitorous Palestinian Authority that assassinated him, we encourage our readers to listen to the words of the martyr of truth, Nizar Banat, and heed his words.
—
"The world stands with you today because you have a rocket."

Martyr Nizar Banat destroys all reasoning to normalize with liberal zionists in one of his greatest videos, now available with English subnoscripts.

He dismantles the propaganda tactics that normalizing careerists and zionists use to impress thoughts of concession on our youth instead of armed resistance. He reminds us that being “peaceful” does not bring respect, but that "The world stands with [us] today because [we] have that rocket."

He specifically warns against J Street and the normalization industry that has infested Palestine with foreign agents who run on a circuit from the US to encourage normalization. Nizar shares how these careerist informants gaslight Palestinians when confronted for their traitorous ways.

Self-serving figures like Saeb Erekat, highlighted prominently in this video, spread corruption and neglect not only the Palestinian people, but their own families for the sake of normalization. Banat rejects the scandalous effort by these types to water down the occupation with negotiations, which Saeb proudly rallied for. We declare #NoToNormalization!

Nizar speaks in the people’s voice and affirms that our cause will always be for liberation from settler-colonialism and never was and never will be the liberal zionist comparison to South African apartheid, or Gandhi's India against foreign companies, or a movement “for equality.”

The martyr beams when he says: the path we take is like the path of Algeria.

Note: This is the second full-length Nizar Banat video that has been translated to English, to our knowledge. Linked here is the first, where Nizar speaks on Iranian support of Palestinian resistance.

The family of Nizar Banat on the second anniversary of his assassination:

"Today on the second anniversary of the assassination of the martyr Nizar Banat at the hands of the PA Security Forces, and the continuation of the policy of threats and pursuing by the (PA) Preventative Security Services to the members of our family.

This campaign did not spare the youth or elders of the family. The goal of the PA Security Forces is to shut the file of the assassination. But they are not able to. Every time they pressure us or passed their threats to us, we have been up to the challenge.

We applied the saying: The more they plant fear, the more they harvest more confrontation/challenge.

In this honorable gathering, we confirm that we will persevere until complete and unfettered justice is achieved for Nizar Banat."

Haniyeh:
Throughout history, revolutions and national liberation movements have always had independent decision-making, not influenced by anyone, and driven by the interests of their people and their cause.

Today, the resistance is prepared and ready to respond to the occupation, as it experienced when it entered Jenin and recently carried out assassinations against our brothers in the leadership of the Saraya [Al-Quds] in the Gaza Strip.

On prisoner exchange deals: If and only if the zionist enemy agrees to these demands, we are ready to proceed with a deal. However, if the zionist enemy does not recognize the necessity of reaching a deal with us, the resistance also has a long reach and can increase the number of zionist captives in the basket of resistance.

The Palestinian people are a unified and cohesive people, as demonstrated by all previous confrontations, where they support and stand by each other. When one part of our people is targeted anywhere, the other part stands in support, defense, and solidarity.

The Al-Qassam Brigades provided the strong support for their brothers in Saraya Al-Quds, who took the lead and responded to the assassinations that had been ongoing for five years.

There is no doubt that the last battle, the battle of Revenge of the Free, and how this battle was engineered within the framework of the Joint Operations Room, inflicted defeat on the "israeli" occupation and drew pain on the face of this occupation.

Who is Nizar Banat?
"I am with the resistance.
That is who Nizar Banat is."

Two settlers have been wounded after being hit with stones in Huwara, #Nablus.

At the annual anniversary and memorial of Nizar Banat’s martyrdom, a public festival unfolds in front of his home in Dura, Al-Khalil. His widow, Jihan Al-Horoob, shares her thoughts and vision for the day, echoing the deep commitment to liberation as expressed through the art of her late husband.

Jihan unveils Nizar's final but unfinished painting, a valiant Yemeni fighter with his feet steadfast on a mountain, an unsigned reflection of Nizar's political ethos.

She concludes: "[The PA] want the masses silenced.
Nizar refused to be silenced."

"Whoever killed Nizar Banat tried to kill me. Try to tell me otherwise."

These are the words of martyred prisoner Sheikh Khader Adnan after Palestinian Authority forces opened fire on him in Nablus after a series of attacks. Sheikh Khader said afterward, "It seems they did not need 14 people to kill me, as they did with Nizar Banat."

Sheikh Khader wrote, "I was arrested in the occupation prisons and went on a hunger strike just like I did in Areeha... The years have passed, the arrests [by the PA] have been repeated, and they have turned into assaults and attempts [on my life] in civilian clothes. The PA advanced, developed, demonized, and incited... They killed Nizar. Today, they want to kill us by distributing false accusations and inciting the homes of martyrs, prisoners, the wounded, and remote surveillance."

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah honors martyr Nizar Banat, "this audacious, courageous, clear, authentic person, strong in his stance on the matter of resistance and the Palestinian cause, courageous to the point of martyrdom."

Sayyed Hassan demands justice for Nizar, surprised that the killers of the enemy of the zionists would be the Palestinian Authority. He states, "This matter is not yet over" and asks that all Palestinian people confront the case of Nizar with justice and truth.

🟡 Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Jenin:
—
02:25 AM: With Allah's help and success, our fighters are engaged in armed clashes with the zionist occupation forces storming the city of Jenin in the Haifa Street area, and they are targeting them with heavy barrages of bullets.

The martyr of truth lives: Nizar Khalil Banat, Abu Kifah.

The martyr of truth lives.
Two years ago, Nizar Banat, the revolutionary intellectual, organizer, and advocate, ascended to martyrdom at the hands of the treacherous Palestinian Authority, who wanted to silence Banat for years. Indeed, Banat had been approached by the PA and normalizers years prior, who cautioned him regarding the dangers of speaking the truth and for demanding liberation from the river to the sea.

Banat did not fear the truth. He refused to be silenced and followed steadfast in the steps of prior martyrs from, not only Palestine, but with emphasis on the Unity of the Fields and the historical unity that carried the region against colonialism.

Banat's understanding of the zionist and imperialist agenda went beyond what today’s Western academics are capable of, as he was free of institutional commitment and limitations. In fact, he rejected those, cautioning against the NGOization and infiltration by liberal zionists.

He did not yield to the Palestinian Authority and its thugs, fully aware that they would violently silence him after his abduction and assault.

And when he ascended to martyrdom, and the masses rose, the Palestinian Authority descended upon the people with bullets, batons, and threats, even attempting to shame women and their honor for daring to stand for truth. Even after his martyrdom, Nizar terrified them. But these actions revealed and reinforced exactly what Banat was speaking of: no normalizer is ethical or has standards; they sell their dignity for their own self interest.

These normalizers continued to betray Nasser Abu Hmeid and Sheikh Khader Adnan. They betrayed Nablus and Jenin. They betrayed their journalists, students, and farm workers. Just as Nizar Banat illustrated through his words, the Palestinian Authority is an arm of US imperialism and a tool of zionism that will make no hesitation to betray the capital of Palestine, Al-Quds. Nizar did not arrive at these conclusions by chance; he meticulously studied philosophy and history, all the while studying art. His dialectical approach and keen political analysis of our regional history, and the material context of what came to shape our struggle, were passed to Banat by prior thinkers, revolutionaries, and martyrs.

On this day, think too, where are we headed, and what words do we carry with us? If fear trembles in our step, we betray Nizar and all of our martyrs!

"No to the silencer!"
From Naji Al-Ali to Basil Al-Araj and Nizar Banat, we raise our martyrs' voices high and raise our voices high with them. For liberation, for justice, and against the enemy in all its forms: comprador, imperialist, and zionist.

Resistance fighters in a speeding car opened fire on an IOF solider patrol near #Nablus.

Two settlers are wounded and their vehicle damaged with stones after they entered Azzun, east of #Qalqilya.

⚠️ The zionist entity has deployed two additional IOF battalions to the West Bank following a recent security assessment, bringing the number of active battalions operating in the West Bank to 27. This comes following the deployment of additional battalions last week, as well as the establishment of missile defense systems in northern Palestine a few weeks prior.
