the Liberation of Palestine in the Gaza Strip</div>
<p>Despite the immense pain and deep wounds, we have no option but
to continue the resistance and strike the Zionist enemy</p>
<p>To our steadfast people in Gaza, to the children of martyrs, to
the bereaved families, to the families of destroyed homes…</p>
<p>Twenty-two days of the barbaric Zionist aggression against you,
conducted with various types of internationally prohibited
weapons, and yet you are inscribing the finest example of
resilience, fortitude, strength and pride, amid great pain and the
ongoing hell of bombardment by land, air and sea, the suffering of
displacement and homelessness. We greet you as you resist the
criminal and murderous Zionist state, as you pursue the killers
and defeat them despite your bleeding wounds.</p>
<p>Salutes to the children of Gaza emerging from under the rubble,
salutes to the medics, health workers and ambulance crews, to the
civil defense, to the municipal workers, the unknown soldiers of
the homeland who have paid with their lives for the service of
their people. Salutes to the journalists and media workers who
confront bombing and threats to deliver the reality of Gaza to the
whole world. Salutes to the relief committees in the various areas
of Gaza, and to the workers in shelters and sites who continue to
provide aid and assistance according to their means to our
displaced people..Salutes to the brave resistance, the fighters in
the ranks of al-Qassam Brigades, Saraya al-Quds, Abu Ali Mustafa
Brigades, the National Resistance Brigades, and the AbdelQader
Husseini and Jihad Jibril Brigades who have shed their blood on
the battlefield for their people and have written new epics of
heroism and glory for Palestine. Salutes to those who stand on the
front lines, in the tunnels, on the borders, salutes to the
fighters in combat and the naval fighters, salutes to the rocket
launchers who look toward their homes in Haifa, Yafa and al-Quds
from exile in Gaza, Salutes to each of you individually, your
heroism and strength, and your steadfast unity on our internal
front, cemented by the resistance and the steadfastness of our
people.</p>
<p>We know that the pain is immense and the suffering is severe, and
that our people are paying a dear price for dignity and freedom,
yet despite the massacres, you are striking fear and dread in the
Zionist entity and among the settlers and soliders who hide in
their tanks and airplanes as they bomb our people, civilians, in
their homes, while the resistance makes achievement after
achievement and they send shells against the people of Khan
Younis, Rafah, Jabalya, Tuffah, Beit Hanoun, Bureij…and your
support for the resistance is firm and clear without any hint of
hesitation or retreat. We have no option but to continue the
resistance and to strike blows against the fascist entity on the
road to achieving our goals. Despite the pain and the brutality,
and the siege, and the assassination of our children, the
massacres, the genocide, the war upon our people as a whole, the
Zionist occupation is incapable of addressing the blows of the
resistance. We have not and will not retreat and will continue to
develop new methods to confront the invader enemy. We must adapt
ourselves for long-term struggle, as we confront a new stage that
requires even more solidarity and mutual strength, and the
harnessing of all resources in the service of our impacted people
in Gaza.</p>
<p>To the masses of our people in the West Bank of Palestine…</p>
<p>On the road to the escalation of the popular movement, and in
order to achieve the goals of our people, we call upon you to
escalate and develop the uprising, to fuel it, to work on its
sustainability, to rise up in every city, camp and village to
confront these killers, to burn the earth under the feet of the
settlers who steal our land and that of our ancestors, to confront
them with stones, Molotov cocktails, weapons and bullets, to burn
their locations, to activate the boycott and confront
normalization in all forms, to raise up committees of popular
protection, and we call on honest members of the security agencies
to join our people in confronting the occupation and protecting
our people as a substitute for security coordination with the
enemy.</p>
<p>To the free people of the whole world..</p>
<p>The strong position will not be forgotten, of the tens of
thousands of people in the streets of France, London, Austria,
Belgium, Romania, Denmark, Germany, Chile, Brazil, Chicago, Canada
and all the cities of the world, nor to the consistent solidarity
of those in Latin America who have also struggled against
imperialism for many yeard. It is a victory for Palestine to see
the masses of the world condemning the Zionist aggression on Gaza,
the massacres and the killing of children. It is urgently needed
for you to escalate and continue your support for the cause of
Palestine and its people, to put serious pressure on your
government and to escalate the boycott of the occupation state; to
surround and occupy the consulates, embassies and business offices
of the occupier, and to bring its officials before international
courts as war criminals.</p>
<p>To the masses of our people in the homeland and in exile and
diaspora..</p>
<p>Let us strengthen our national unity with greater commitment to
our common position, that of the resistance, and build our support
for the resistance, defend its decisions and achievements. All
Palestinians in the homeland and in diaspora are called on to
engage in the long-term struggle by all means available.</p>
<p>Gaza is committed to resistance and steadfastness and we will not
accept that the massacres of our people and their vast sacrifices
will be spent in vain. No matter how great the crimes and the
massacres, and no matter whatever conspiracies proliferate in
regional interactions and politics.</p>
