14 marca 2018 r., Al-Malahem, madia Al-Kaidy na Półwyspie Arabskim (AQAP), opublikowało nowy biuletyn o nazwie Madad. Pierwszy numer tego biuletynu poświęcony jest Ahmadowi Nasr Dżarrarowi, terroryście Hamasu, który zamordował Izraelczyka w styczniu 2018 r. i w początkach lutego został zapity przez armię izraelską.
Gloryfikując Dżarrara, biuletyn nazywa go “dziedzicem męczenników” i “symbolem wojowników dżihadu”, i przedstawia go jako wzór osobowy dla Palestyńczyków walczących z Izraelem.
Należy wspomnieć, że Al-Kaida widzi dżihad na rzecz Palestyny jako cel najwyższej wagi i uważa militarne skrzydło Hamasu (w odróżnieniu od jego aparatu politycznego) za prawomocną organizację dżihadystyczną, chociaż przywódcy Al-Kaidy często ostro krytykowali szefów Hamasu i mimo rywalizacji i niechęci między Al-Kaidą a macierzystą organizacją Hamasu, Bractwem Muzułmańskim. Pod tym względem Al-Kaida różni się od państwa Islamskiego, które uważa wszystkie części Hamasu za heretyckie i nie przedkłada dżihadu w Palestynie nad dżihad na jakiejkolwiek innej arenie. Jednak, mimo przypisywania wagi Palestynie i chociaż Al-Kaida ma oddziały na wielu arenach Bliskiego Wschodu, do dziś ta organizacja nie ma oddziału walczącego otwarcie w Izraelu. Poświęcenie pierwszego numeru pisma Dżarrarowi, który cieszy się szeroką popularnością w społeczności palestyńskiej, gloryfikacja wojny w Palestynie i nacisk na zobowiązanie Al-Kaidy to tej wojny są częścią starań tej organizacji, by zrekompensować swoją słabość na tej arenie.
Równocześnie biuletyn podkreśla także centralną zasadę Al-Kaidy, a mianowicie, że w celu wyzwolenia Palestyny najpierw trzeba prowadzić dżihad przeciwko Ameryce, która jest „głową węża”.
Poniżej podajemy [nie spolszczone] fragmenty biuletynu o Dżarrarze[1].
„For the past 60 years the wounded Jerusalem has been bent under the [yoke] of the Jews, who trample it with the declared assistance of the Crusader countries of the Cross [i.e. the West], and the open collaboration of their lackeys, the Arab rulers, who defend the Jewish borders and make things difficult for the Muslims, and who, after all this, [have the nerve to] claim to belong to Islam!
„Despite this plot against [Palestine], the converging of all the armies [on it], and the choking siege of the past decades, [Palestine] still stands with its head held high and surprises us every day as it demonstrates the heroism of the Palestinian Muslim jihad fighter. This fighter lacks most of the material means, yet he terrorizes the Jewish occupier and causes him – despite [the occupier’s] immense capabilities – to awaken each day to a disaster, and to anticipate each day a worse disaster than the one that came before. The Palestinian jihad fighter continues with his plan and works diligently to accomplish the impossible.
„So long as Palestine has people like Ahmad Jarrar, great salvation and great victory await it. There is no victory without sacrifice. Are there, anywhere in the world, [people who] sacrifice like our people in Palestine do? You find them eagerly embarking on jihad, although they know what the consequences will be, and know that the Jews will use every despicable means to nip in the bud the idea of jihad for Allah in this country.
„One example of this, a drop in the ocean of sacrifice, is the heir to the martyrs, Ahmad Jarrar, the martyred son of a martyred father and a righteous mother, [whose parents] raised him to become a icon for the jihad fighters and for those who stand guard over Palestine. He succeeded, despite the limited means at his disposal, to put the Jews in the eye of the storm [and show] the world the truth about the helplessness of the Mossad…
„[Jarrar] succeeded in assassinating one of their greatest leaders, Rabbi Raziel Shevach, and subsequently hindered their ability to reach him [Jarrar]. If it hadn’t been for the Jews’ agents within the intelligence forces of [Mahmoud] Abbas, they would never have managed to kill him, Allah willing. The Jews managed to locate him [only] after three weeks of pursuit and following a large-scale operation. They laid an extensive siege to his hiding place, but he refused to surrender and fought until he was killed, may Allah have mercy on him. The last things found in the martyr’s hiding place were a gift from his mother, a Quran, and a little food…
„This man, Ahmad Nasr Jarrar, fulfilled his obligation to the cause of the ummah, [the cause of liberating] Palestine and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. It is left to the Muslim ummah in general, and to the people of Palestine in particular, to assume responsibility and complete the journey. They must stand together as a solid structure and wage the ummah’s battle in various arenas and on many fronts. They must put aside all sins, conflicts and disputes that delay the victory. Liberating Palestine is a duty incumbent upon [all of] us. Every Muslim jihad fighter must act night and day to promote this cause. [But] we must not forget the role played by the head of the serpent, America, in defending the Jews. The latest manifestation of this is [the Americans’] insistence on turning Jerusalem into the capital of the Jewish occupier. As the Martyr of the Ummah, Osama bin Laden, said: 'America and Israel are two sides of the same coin.’ He [also] said: 'Do not consult anyone [before] killing Americans.’
„We take this opportunity to say to the Jews that the ummah will never relinquish its duty to liberate this blessed land, and that the action of our martyr Ahmad Jarrar is only one link in the chain of struggle. The ummah of Muhammad will continue on this path until it fulfills his prophecy [in the hadith]: 'The Day of Judgment will not arrive until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stones and the trees; and each stone or tree will say: Oh Muslim, Oh servant of God, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him; except from the gharqad, which is the tree of the Jews.’
Finally, returning to our martyred hero Ahmad Nasr Jarrar, who learned to be a tradesman but found that jihad for the sake of Allah is the greatest trade of all, and therefore packed his bags, and traded the universities for the market of jihad for the sake of Allah… He fought for Allah, stood fast despite the ruthless hunt and other people’s inability to help him, until he attained the honor of martyrdom, for we regard him as a martyr. Bless him for his martyrdom… Bless his family and relatives, and may the Muslim ummah be blessed by him.”
