Early reports of Saka’s ability seemed hysterical – was a teenager really capable of taking on the club’s famed number seven shirt? But for Arsenal legend Ian Wright, there was never any doubt. “He was 15,” Wright tells me, “and people were already saying Saka was way too advanced for the team he was playing with. I remember watching him at Hale End, and he went past three players so easily, and the ball came to him a couple of times and he just popped it off, one touch, and moved. He was just doing stuff in that game that a player of 25 years of age would do. I said, ‘He’s going all the way to the top – no danger.’” (Musa Okwonga, GQ Sports)

🔴 PFLP spokesman Abu Jamal during an exclusive interview with Quds Network:

Resistance is not just a reaction, meaning we are not here just to respond to the enemy if they commit a crime in Jenin, Umm al-Fahm, or Al-Nasra. Although it is part of our role to respond to every crime they commit and make them pay a high price, to slap their face with force and power, and to beat them, and shed their blood, this is just a part of our duty.

But we are not here just to react to their actions. We exist as a strategic project to liberate the land. The question is, if the enemy commits a crime, will we respond? Well, the enemy committed a crime in the 1948 Nakba when our people were displaced, and it committed crimes times before that when they decided to steal our homeland and destroy our social structure to impose its deformed entity on our land. The historical crime was committed when the first zionist set foot on Palestinian land. That's when the crime began, as well as all our resistance, which continues until the full liberation of our national soil. It is a reaction to that crime and an attempt to remove this crime, a fight, struggle, and effort to erase its traces and establish our state on its ruins after crushing and destroying it.

Therefore, focus on this angle. Our project of struggle is not just a reaction, although it is our duty once again to respond to every crime the enemy is capable of committing. But our project is strategic and aims to liberate the land and the people, and it will continue whether the enemy kills in Gaza or not, besieges Gaza or lifts the siege, invades Jenin or does not invade it. The enemy should not expect that if they say they have lifted the siege on Gaza and withdraws from the occupied lands in the 1967 borders, or gives us eastern Al-Quds that was occupied 1967, that we will be silent or stop fighting.
