Talk:Al-Qassam Brigades

message: Here's some ideas. (in no particular order)  Some of this is a bit "original resesrch" or "synthesis", but I cannot possibly be the only one who's noticed this? There must be sources where people have already described these things? 
* The Al Qassam Military Chior is a thing that exists 
* Hamas & Al Qassam propaganda incompatible with Islamic fundamentalism 
:* most prominently in the use of music that features musical instruments 
:* also in artistic depictions of the human form 
:* They had a political in Gaza 14 December 2022 that looked more Iron Maiden than ISIS (But also a bit BJP rally)
* Military Parades (there's mountains of footage of this on YouTube posted by Associated Press and others) I presume Hamas did these? But at this moment I can only recall seeing PIJ, PFLP, etc. 
* Videos
:* a few specific types of video ?
::* October 7 footage 
:::* The contrast between the rumours about what the 7 October footage shows and what's actually there
::* go pro
::* red triangle videos
::* highly produced shorts that I strongly suspect these are made in Lebanon? But I can't find any OSINT type people even trying to geolocwte them
:* highly visual / trans lingual 
:* get republished by news media 
::* difference in what's shown by Arabic vs English networks, even for broadcasters like TRT and Al Jazeera that do both
::: e.g. the Mohamed Deif speech announcing Al Aqsa Flood 
::: 11 minute original in Arabic 
::: 8 minutes published by Al Jazeera Arabic 
::: about one minute translated by AJ English 
* telegram 
:* blocked on some platforms
:* other social media
This could be a whole article, but let's srart it as a section here and then split it off if it grows?

message: In my opinion, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades have all the features of a military organisation: they are an armed force, with a definite hierarchy, they do have a plurality of signs of recognition worn as uniform, they are the de facto standing military organisation of a de facto state (mostly Gaza Strip). --Mach1988 (talk) 11:15, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: As it happens, the sources in the lead all support "military wing", not "paramilitary" anything, so not sure where that really came from in the first place. Iskandar323 (talk) 10:00, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

message: كتائب عز الدين القسام  (Kata'ib Izz-eddin al-Qasam) translates as Izz-eddin Battalions, not Brigades. 
The article should be renamed.
