Everyone suffers. The great disaster is in Gaza, but people in the West Bank and in the occupied interior also suffer from the deprivation of personal and collective freedoms. Arrests and torture in prisons have increased greatly in the past weeks. They are usually large, but in the past weeks they have increased great- ly for fear of the outbreak of clashes and. confrontations in the West Bank and internally. Yesterday night, they bombed the Almamadani Hospital in Gaza and. Killed more than 1,500, including a large number of children.. Are you listening?? children.. Close to 1,000 innocent women and children were killed in this massacre... “The world must see and know the truth about the terrorist Israeli Nazis.... Just imagine your child raking refuge in a hospital in the hope of getting protec- tion and sitting there and feeling safe “Then you come (0 the hospital to see your child, and the surprise is that your child has been turned into dismembered pieces. Y¥es, this is what the Nazi Israeli occupa- tion did in Gaza, Ic killed more than 600 Palestinians, all of them children and ‘women, and turned them into dismem- bred pieces after Israeli warplanes fired a missile towards the Baptist Hospital known as the « Ahly Arab » in Gaza. “Tall your people what is happening here Let them know the truth, Nor the lies of occupation Ts Iperf rginterven feud ‘We officially established our movement in Palestine 4 years ago. We knew litle about anarchist and anarchist _move- ments in advance, but due to the aca- demic study of some members of the movement in the United States and Britain, we learned more deeply about anarchism and saw its activities closely, and that is why we decided to follow this approach in occupied Palestine. ‘One of the main reasons that led to fol- lowing this approach is, firstly, the free- dom of thought of anarchists and their acceptance of other ideas and personal freedoms of others. Secondly, the meth- ‘ods used by them to express their oppo- sition to the state and authority. When Palestinian youth want to express their protest, unfortunately, they only use old methods. Bur when we learned about anarchy and anarchism in Europe and America, we discovered that there were various other methods for confronting the occupation. For example, in the past and to some extent today, some Palestinian youth see the fight against occupation only in armed resistance. Since the Israeli secu- rity environment is very tight here, these armed actions, which are known here in Palestine as the « lone wolf operation, ofien lead to the killing of many Pales- tinian youth without having a significant impact on the apartheid regime and its security forces. So pay attention: the life of a young Palestinian man is facing a simple and unnoticeable event. ‘There- fore, we decided to adopt other policies in fighting the occupation, and we found. these policies in anarchism. Here, for se- ‘curity reasons, I cannot reveal our plans and some facts on the ground. We are present throughout occupied Palestine, but are mostly concentrated in the West Bank, ‘Our projects revolve around several axes. “The first axis is educating and craining Palestinian youth on new methods of confronting the occupation (the educa- tional unit). The second axis is imple- menting these methods on the ground in different ways (executive unit). ‘The third axis is to publish everything related to arrests, killings, humanitarian crimes, and the deprivation of individual and social freedoms practiced by the occu- pation against the Palestinian people, to keep ths issue alive in the consciences of all segments of society, especially anar- chists (Al-Wehda News). The fourth axis is to disseminate important information about the history of Palestine, the histo- ry of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict, and the intellectual differences that the new generation may face from its past, because here we are facing a fierce media war thac distorts the facts and turns the facts in favor of Israel. As you know, Is- rael has channels that broadcast around the clock in in Arabic in order to distort historical faces and spread its false narta- tive about the past and what is currently happening on the ground (Media Unie). Unfortunately, for security reasons, 1 cannot send pictures.. but you will find some of them in our Telegram group @ fauda_ps and @fauda_education. ‘We only want peace. We only want to be given freedom. And co return our lands Y¥es, here are many needs that we have to provide here in order to help others and also in order to carry out demonstrations and protests in the streets, such as: 1. Helmets, goggles, gas masks and gloves for personal safety during protest. 6 2. Basic medical supplies such as bandag. painkillers, et. 3. Banners, posters and speakers. 4, Smartphones and walkie-talkies. 5. Water bottles, snacks, and portable food during long protests. 6, Flags and clothing that represent the anarchist movement (especially during black bloc protests). 7. (REDACTED) 8. Notebooks, pens, and cameras to doc- 9, Identities and documents relevant to ‘emergencies oF unforeseen circumstanc- 10. Money for hospital and other ex- penses, whether for anarchists or to help some needy people and poor Palest 11. [REDACTED] 12. [REDACTED], and also purchas- ing some tools for self-defense during protests, such as [REDACTED], a com- puter cable, [REDACTED], wooden boards, tools for blocking streets, and [REDACTED] to make it difficult for the police and security forces to see. “This isa section of the needs for which we will disburse aid. We support what- ever you want to do with the money you have fundraised, whatever charity you decide to send it to. But usually this aid does not reach the Palestinians. Especial- ly ifyou want to provide it through some international organizations... because in more than 90 percent of cases the occu- pation prevents this aid from reaching the Palestinians. ‘MEMBER 2 In 2020, when we saw the anti-racist demonstrations for George Floyd and ac- tions of anarchist Americans, we decided to create this movement in Palestine. On the one hand, we did not want to be like Hamas military groups, and on the other hand, we did not want to remain neutral and forget the cause of Palestine. Israel is really apartheid here. Zionists are rac- ist, We do nor criticize Jews. Many Jews have helped us and are helping us, but the Zionists want the Arabs to leave Pal- estine. ‘They occupied our houses and support the attacks of the Israeli army against children and defenseless wom- cen. ‘Therefore, it was necessary to form proudly Palestinian group of young people to resis Israel. We have friends in almost all parts of Palestine who help this ‘movement asthe main staff. We are pres- cent in the West Bank and Gaza as well as the occupied tertitories of 48. ‘Our collective is an anarchist collective. OF course, you cannot appoint a leader for an anarchist group. Because we act like headless movements in other parts of the world, In the Middle East, many leaders and political officals who have been the head of a party or group have deviated the movement from its origi- nal ideals and beliefs for their personal and party interests. In Palestine, many officials and heads of the government headed by Mahmoud Abbas are corrupt people and have an economic and se- ‘curity agreement with Israel. The Arab representatives who are in the Israeli Par- liament are also corrupt people and have accepted the sovereignty of Israel. FAUDA movement has a steering group that consists of several main and old members whose work is done with their coordination. This group is responsi- ble for directing and issuing orders for campaigns, demonstrations and opera tions. Under this steering group, there are 4 departments. Each of these 4 de- partments has a manager and dozens of Palestinian youths are working in these departments. These sections are present in most parts of Palestine, especially in the West Bank. Many people also join us ‘when we hold rallies or demonstrations. Regarding the politcal prison guard, you should know thar more than 7,000 inno- cent Palestinians are in the prisons of the Israeli apartheid regime. Some of them are women and even teenagers. Teenag- cers who were imprisoned ata young age and have been in prison for more than 15 yeats now. Israel does not even allow a rial for them and they are in prison without charge! ‘We call this, « phenomenon » (@EEEEEL BEEBE). You can search the same Ar- abic phrase on the Internet and see and read about the injustice and cruel ap- proach against the prisoners. “The FAUDA movement carried out ac- tivities for chese prisoners for their sup- port. In different cities, we held rallies in front of the courts or the headquarters of the Israeli police. We organized a cam- paign on social networks. We went 0 visit some families whose members are prisoners and they talked 0 us about the torture that Israeli forces have on prisoners. Unfortunately, Israel’ security systems interpret all our work, even our humanitarian work, as security threats “Thats why we don't publish photos and videos of many of our actions, such as {going to prisoners’ homes. We reject large international organiza- tions, because they ultimately always stand with or are passive o Israel. When 7 Palestinian youths are assassinated by Zionist settlers or Israeli forces, or when Israeli warplanes bombard Gaza and kill defenseless people and civilians, interna- tional organizations do nothing. What is the point of simple words of condem- nation? Israel brings whatever disaster it wants to the defenseless Palestinian peo- ple and organizations only express regret! But we announce to all the anarchist and humanita groups of the world that ‘we ate ready to cooperate with them to be the voice of the oppressed Palestinian prisoners, we must help their families Fascist Israel will imprison the father of a Palestinian family on crumped-up charges then the family has almost no income and becomes pot. ‘That father stays in prison for several years and there is no one to help his family. We ask the freedom loving groups of the world to pay attention to this issue and help us in this direction. In our opinion, every Palestinian can be ‘on the path of resistance by declaring his disgust with the apartheid system of Isra- el. What does resistance mean? It means standing in frone of the enemy with all the strength, initiative and creativity and. not giving up on one’ right. ‘This is the philosophy of resistance and we follow i in the FAUDA movement. We have stat ced many times that a student, student, poet, teacher, painter, musician, com- poser and singer, media activis, seller, an armed fighter, etc, can all be popular resistance by declaring disgust and tak- ing appropriate physical action. ‘This is the basis of the movement FAUDA. Re- sistance must be popular resistance. We should not waie for foreign armies or for- ign organizations to come and defend us. In this movement, we have started a path that all people can die for and stand. against Israel's racist policies. Today, the ‘movement has entered an important pe- riod. We used to be a small movement. By the grace of God, today we are present all over Palestine and we are present and active in various news, culcural and social sections, in the month of Ramadan, and {guerrilla sections and campaigns against the occupying Israeli police forces. ‘This is our national and people’ resistance, and people's resistance has shown in history thar it always overcomes the op- pressors of fascist regimes. ‘The resistance throughout Palestine and even in the Syrian Golan Heights, where Israel has ‘occupied it, is a uniform resistance and has one goal, and thar isto expel the Zi- ‘nists who have conquered our land and homes. ‘therefore, we should. not look at Gaza and the West Bank from a separate point of view. But naturally, there are differences in the way of resistance and fighting model in different regions. [As the first and largest anarchist move- ment in Palestine, the FAUDA move- ment has extended its hand for help 0 all freedom-seeking groups in the world from the east and the west. These groups can help us in several areas. First in the discussion of financial aid, Our forces need equipment co strike the oppres- sive Israeli police who artack the Pales- tinian people with weapons of war and kill hundreds of our friends every year. ‘Obsaining this equipment is sometimes very expensive, Israel uses ultra-advanced equipment with foreign aid, especially American aid, but we really stand against them with the least facilities. We need financial help to cake the initiative and deliver more [REDACTED]. Also, our friends provide financial aid to help the families of the victims, the families of the prisoners and the people who help us on the path of resistance so that they can have the lowest level of welfare. You can be with usin helping these oppressed people. “The second is media assistance. If there are me teams who want to help us in producing and publishing content, we are ready to cooperate with them. This is very useful in Gaza, When you check the media, you will see that the western media affiliated with the fascist system do not publish any content about the ‘oppression of thousands of children and ‘women and girls and boys or old men and women! You don't know about many inhumane incidents in Gaza, such as lack ‘of medicine, lack of sanitary materials, lack of safe. drinking water, etc. ‘The youth of FAUDA in Gaza can present these documentaries with your support and the anarchist media groups will pub- lish them so that che world will know. In this war that we are in these days, many ‘western media have closed their eyes and our friends outside of Palestine say that they show Israel as a victim and consider you Palestinians as terr**sts! “The chird case is in our campaign organi- zations, which we cannot talk about due to our security agreements. Libertarians (context: ouside of the US, « liberrari- an » is synonymous with anarchist, and always has been) all over the world are fighting against elements afiiated with the fascise system. We are also fighting with the Israeli police and we need help. “The fourth thing is that our movement is ready co participate in meetings and. interviews to introduce the world to this, movement formed in Palestine, We in- vite all the press and media co introduce this movement to the freedom seekers of the world. Write and publish, even the plan of making a documentary film about the first anarchist movement in Palestine would be very suitable. “There are about 15 anti-Zionist resis- tance groups in Palestine, of which our movement is one. H***s and Islamic Jihad are among these groups. All re- sistance groups are together and follow the same goal. We should not divide them. Israel wants to divide between the lefe and groups like H***s and use this division for its own benefit. So we must be alert and not play. in the ene- my’ playground, H***s, Islamic Jihad, Kitab al-Aqsa and other armed resistance ‘groups in Palestine have always been de- stroyed in the Western media for their anti-Zionist stance and actions. “The image of H***s reflected in the me- dia is nor real. When they entered the settlements of the Gaza Strip, they didn't {g0 afier the elderly and children, they didn'c cut off anyone's head. In the first hours of the war, Israel announced that H’**s would behead and slaughter the Jewish people, later the Americans said the same thing. A day later they retracted. their statement, and said that they don't have evidence to prove their claim! Bur chere are differences in the fighting pattern, Fauda movement has invit- ced all people, whether Muslim, Jewish ‘or Christian, to join the popular and national resistance against apartheid. Well, H's is purely Islamic and has no non-Muslim forces. But it doesn't matter, now is nor the time for internal conflicts. In the early months when the movement started, senior members of **** contact- ced us. And we had a meeting and they asked about the quality and quantity of ‘our work and we talked together. ‘They fully agreed thac Palestinian Christians ° and Jews should also be helped as part of the anti-Zionist resistance. “Therefore, the goal isthe same, but there are differences of opinion in some fields and patterns, which are not the place to raise them here. In addition, H***s is currently engaged in a war and we can- not comment further. “The number of active and effective an- archist groups here is very small. Many of them are no longer active. There are some groups thac we have a relationship ‘with and in some cases we work together. In Israel, ie., the occupied territories of 48, there are also some anarchist groups formed by anti-Zionise Jewish youth, and we support them. But in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, our movement is the only one that operates according to anarchist principles, and unfortu- nately, this opinion has not yet spread in Palestine as it has spread in Europe and. America ‘We are trying to enlist the help of all Pal- cstinian friends, regardless of race, tribe, or religion, to resise the fascist regime, Many Jewish youth have helped us in these years. Also, Muslims and Chris- tians have many activists in this move- ment. All of us today are the leaders of a movement that is nationally and pop- ularly seeking to achieve the same ulti- mate goal ‘Supporters of Palestine can_helps us in aways: 1- print our flag (fauda flag) and go into the street with friends and make videos. ‘We will share these videos so our people see world supporters 2-help us with donations. We need some items to resist zionists and need money to buy them. 0 Q&A WITH FAUDA: QUESTIONS SUBMITTED BY ANARCHISTS & OTHERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD Firstly, regarding your question about the « two-state solution », we will never accept the two-state solution. Imagine someone comes to your home and force- fully robs your home. Afier he sees that you are resisting and wont leave your home, he suggests that you share your home between you both. Does this make sense to you? if this is logical, chen all of the following events are also logical: Someone steals your mobile phone on the street, gets caught, and then suggests you share that phone or sell ic and split the money. Or someone steals your car and after he realizes that you will nev- cr give up your car, he suggests that you share the car of sell it and spi the mon- % “There are many, very comparable exam- ples to our situation with the Zionists, and no sane mind accepts them, so why do you expect. ue ace the « 40 ‘We completely reject the two-state solu- tion, But this does nor mean that we do not accept Jews in Palestine. Before the Zionists occupied our lands, we all lived in peace in our lands and did nor face any problems, neither with Muslims, nor with Christians, nor with Jews, nor with any other religion. We seek our individual & social free- ddoms. In fact, we do not want any coun- try to rule us, but this will lead co other matters and will complicate matters. The conditions in Palestine are completely different from the atmosphere in Europe and America. Currently, we reject the Palestinian Au- thority headed by Mahmoud Abbas, and ‘we completely reject the Zionist occupa- tion, which takes away all the freedoms of the Palestinians. Frankly, currently the only practical solu- tion we have is the one-state solution. But this does not mean that we will not offer other options in the future. We may face some circumstances in the future that enable us to present other options and pursue them, Most of our focus as anarchists here is on the new generation “The new generation must know how our conflict with Israel began. ‘The Israeli media is currently focusing on reversing historical facts. The Arabic « Makan » channel, which broadcasts around the clock in the Arabic language, broadcasts films, documentaries, and television pro- ‘grams targeting the new generation and seeking to shape their ideas, mislead and brainwash them. ‘One of the very dangerous actions and activities practiced by Israel is that ic is trying 10 change academic subjects in Arab schools through its influence with the traitorous Palestinian Authority, in favor of its policies. In other words, Is rael cannot even accept the differences in cultures among us.Look! When we see these practices by the apartheid regime, how do you expect us to believe that Is- rael seeks to establish two independent « states » on Palestinian lands? How do you want us to believe that it will allow us to be independent? All ofthese are lies. Israel has lied to us for the past 75 years ‘on many issues. We will not lec them de- ceive us again, We first determine what Israels goals are (whether political, cul- tural, intellectual, or other goals) and then we organize activities that are com- patible with the local Palestinian culture to confiont these Israeli racist practices “The main question we have as Palest ian anarchists is to guarantee our in vidual and social freedoms. Often, even ‘workers state asa transitional stage caus- ‘es major problems and can lead co tyran- ny, injustice, and the abuse of power to take away the freedoms of others. Focus- ing excessively on laws and the manage- ment of society by the state will ead to ‘excessive accumulation of power, as we have seen in many Marxist movements, and this will increase the possibilities of corruption and tyranny. We also believe in the complete abolition of states, but if there is no escape from the existence of the state, there must be a small state with very limited powers in which all segments of society participate. Bur currently in Palestine the main is- sue is not this. We are now living in an atmosphere of war. We first want t0 remove the occupying entity from exis- tence. That's why no one is raising these issues now. Conditions do not allow us to search for these matters, We are cur- rently experiencing a crisis. We need t0 make great efforts and it will take a long, time for people here to recognize these theories, lee alone accept them. Most people herein Palestine live in a religious atmosphere (whether Islamic, Chris- tian,Jewish, or other) and have culeures that are completely different from Euro- pean, American, and other cultures. This is why our people sometimes see social classes and the differences between these classes as very natural and sensical. Here in Palestine, we try to focus on common- alities more than differences. Of course, there are many chings that Palestinian society, especially the older generations, may not accept. ‘The reason is that they were raised in a somewhat traditional and religious environment. " Bur what do we do? First, we focus on the new generation, which has more vi- tality and activity than others and can accept many of the new ideas that we put forward, or at least can deal with them more openly. Secondly, we do nor see the time as appropriate to discuss contro- versial matters, but rather we emphasize solidarity and cooperation together to achieve our common goals. There are a large number of our siblings ftom oth- cer religions and different orientations with whom we cooperate, including Jews, Christians, Muslims, LGBTQ», and others. We need very broad media support. Currendy, the Palestinian me- dia is blacked our and blocked all over the world, especially in the West. We call ‘on all our siblings and comrades in the world t0 officially monitor Palestinian news ftom Palestinian channels, translate ic into English or other European, Asian and African languages, and publish it in their media, But unfortunately so far no ‘one has responded to us. We call on all ‘our anarchist siblings and others who stand in solidarity wich the Palestinian cause not to be satisfied with the news published by well-known Western gov- ‘emment channels. Because we see that they distort and falsify the facts and do not publish much of what is happening, in the Palestinian arena. MEMBER 3 Due t0 rapidly worsening israeli genocidal violence, including the arming ofall israeli settlers, in the West Bank, we were unable to finish his interview, and hope to expand i in the future. For your information, I donit know much about academic studies. I have never done an interview before. I'm just 1 Palestinian woman engaged in and supporting my comrades in the Fauda anarchist movement. I was born into a Palestinian Muslim family. I have a brother who is 3 years older than me and a sister who is 4 years younger than me. In childhood, my life was normal and everything was good. But as soon as I became an adult, problems started with my father and brother. My person- ality was different from most ofthe giels around me, Originally I couldnt bear to live in a cage. Here, if an Arab woman is bor into a traditional family, she is usually obliged to stay at home (except in the case of exceptions and vows) and. do household chores such as cooking, cleaning, sewing, and other chings. Buc | didnt like these tasks, Thar’s why usually, after I came back from school, I would {g0 10 see one of my friends who was an older git! than me and studying at the university. She painted wonderfully. “That's why [fell in love with drawing too, used to talk to her about everything She was a very beautiful girl. I loved her ‘with all my heart. That’ why we always talked together about everything, But on the contrary, my relationships with my father and brother were getting worse day by day. 1 was living between wo completely separate worlds. A world that I loved and adored with my friend, and second world filled with hatred, orders, and prohibitions violating all he bound- aties of my life and every litte, private aspect of my life Imagine... I used to hear these sentences several times daily Do not wear these tight clothes, Why are you late? ‘Where were you? Don't be friends with so-and-so. ‘Why are you wearing all chis makeup? ‘Why do you make your voice soft when you speak? ‘And many similar questions that target- ced all the private aspects of my life. Thad nothing lef chat I could control for my- self. I had nothing lefe until I personally decided whac I waswilling to go through to get what I wanted our of life. All the affairs of my life were under the umbrella of control of my father and sometimes my brother. ‘They were deciding what 1 should do, how to do is, when to do it, where to do it, and, and, and.. the only person I could talk to comfortably at home was my mother. My mother loved me, but she did not have the ability to stand up to my father or do anything for ime, She too was a woman, but what did a woman have in this house? Nothing. 1 could go on but...1'll cut it shore: One day I was at my friend’ house and we ‘were talking about her university. I don't know how the conversation gor carried away to the topic of some of the young men at her university. She said that there are some young people who talk about freedom and liberation, and that human rights are the most important thing in this life, and she mentioned co me that they adopted some ideas called...anar- chism. “This was my first encounter with anar- chism. After weeks or months passed (I dorit remember), I asked this friend of mine to introduce me to these young, men, and that’ how I gor to know Fau- da, Due to the difficule circumstances 1 was living in, I unfortunately did not study academic studies. But if feminism and anarchism mean that women have the right to determine their destiny in life and to choose their way of life, chen I ama feminist and an anarchist. I cannot stand anything chat puts me in cage and wants 0 determine for me how to live and what to do. Already life-threateningly dangerous, con- ditions in the West Bank have escalated ‘even more in the past two weeks, epecial- 1y for anarchists and youth organizers. We ‘completed the second part of this interview to the best of our ability [America and Israel lie to everyone. ‘They never attack Hamas. Hamas forces have underground tunnels and use them well in order to eliminate the Israeli army. “Therefore, the Israeli army has not yet been able to eliminate Hamas, and 1 believe chat it will not be able to with case. But it bombs hospitals, mosques, churches, and residential neighborhoods inhabited by civilians who have abso- lutely nothing to do with Hamas. ‘They deliberately kill women and children “They prevent any humanitarian aid from centering the Gaza Strip under the pretext that ic will reach Hamas and Hamas will use it against them in che war. These are all nonsense and lies. What is the faule of children and women? Do they die of hunger and thirst and without any hu- manicarian supplies in hospitals? Chil- dren are killed in fronc of their mothers in hospitals that are out of service. Why and for what sin? Israel and America arenit fighting Hamas. ‘They only fight children, women and civilians. Israelis not a good society for women or rnon-women. ‘This system is buile on the foundation of apartheid. It divides peo- ple in one way or another. Even the Jews themselves in Israel are distince from? one another. Statistics in- dicate that women in the Israeli army are always exposed to sexual harassment and assault by men, According to statistics, they had 1,542 complaints of “sexual ha- rassment” in the Israeli army during the year 2020 alone. Is this a society suitable for women? ‘That respects women? Or gives women their rights? Israel is built on che foundation of ex- tremist ideology. ‘This ideology is the only thing that Israel cares about. Ev- cexything other than this ideology is just lies in order to maintain this apartheid system. All the propaganda and all the lies, such as the claim they are “the most moral army in the world,” and the pro- paganda carried out by the charming and. beautiful women in the Israeli army and. all the influential figures on social net- working sites... All of these are just pro- paganda co polish Israels image in the world, buc from within, Israel is full of hatred, Hatred between different Jewish sects, hatred between Arabs and Jews, hatred between politcal parties and on and on. 1 don't know what Palestine will be like in che future. But I would like to see everyone living in peace in my country. ‘Women and men, Children and aduls ‘Young men and women. Jews, Muslims, Christians, even atheists, homosexuals, converts, and anyone who has any idea thac might make him different from oth- cers, We are tired of these situations. ‘We are tired of che many problems, war, fear, and not living in safety. All I wanc is 4“ to be able to walk down the street with- ‘out worry. All T want is to sit in a café, walk along the coast, or attend a party ‘with my friends and have fun together. I don't chink that’s a big ask. This is wha everyone around the world experiences and this is our right. These are che least of our rights on our land, Why should ‘we be kicked out of our homes? Why do wwe have to leave our land? Why did the West gather the Jews in our land? Why dont America, Britain, France, and Europe receive them them- selves? We lived here in peace. We lived with the Jews on our land in peace. We don't have any problem with che Jews ‘Our problem is that they gathered for- «ign people in ourland and handed them the leadership of our country. Would America, for example, accept that Arabs from all over the world meet in America and that Arabs assume leadership there? Does this make sense in your opinion? “This is as clear as the sun in the middle of the day. I donic know why everyone discusses these simple matters as if they ‘were solving complex mathematics equa- 1am very grateful to my friends in the Fauda movement. ‘They helped me alot. Tye had very difficult days. I was alone and they helped me find a job and sup- ported me so that I wouldnt feel alone. 1 Earned a lot from them. I learned from them the meaning of life. I learned free- dom from them. I learned from them how to live on my own and how to rely ‘on myself. They even gave me sums of money to get a job. They are really cool. I love each one of them. It is wonderful to live among people who appreciate you, respect your feelings, understand you, and try to help you. It feels very nice, A feeling I never found in my family.
