“The world must know that we are not terrorists, as the [Israeli] occupation claims,” a young fighter with the Jenin Brigade, a local group of armed fighters in the Jenin refugee camp, told Mondoweiss.

“We are fighters in the name of God. We came out of our mothers’ wombs into this world to fight this occupier, who has stolen our religion, our customs, our traditions, and who has killed our fathers and our brothers.”

“The world needs to know we aren’t terrorists. The occupation is the only terrorist in this world,” he said.

When asked what motivated him and other young men like him to join the armed resistance, the fighter told Mondoweiss “What pushed me towards resistance are my own personal convictions, from what I’ve seen in my life.”
