This post first appeared on a Russian anarchist website, and has bin highly debated. It's mostly bad-jacketing a already highly suppressed anarchist group with as only argument "our Arab friend told us the speaker is not Arabic".
I've also asked my anarchist Arab friend and he could not hear anything weird accept for one word that's bin spoken in more like a Yemen accent. So these accusations are bullshit.
For the but there is no posters or physical prove they exist. There is actually, and their telegram channel has bin up since 2021 and they posted photos of their stickers and posters. Of course they are not going to put their faces out there. They are up against one of worlds super power, on technology and surveillance.
The article is highly problematic a piece of anti solidarity that is not being backed up seriously. Before you decide to bad-jacket comrades make sure your evidence it airtight or you might to let people up to die with out any support.
They made it clear they mostly want people to know about their fight, and all aid money wise is a bonus.
I leave here a letter from a comrade close to them:
As someone who has cultivated a deep relationship with Fauda comrades, I barely
have the emotional strength to address the reactive, un-investigated, unsubstantiated
bad-jacketing of Fauda on the latest It's Going Down episode. Rather than bringing
drama to the internet i am instead addressing it directly with Scott, with the support of
so many amazing Black, Brown, Indigenous, and international comrades who also
have deep relationships with and love for our Fauda comrades, as well as with the
support of my anarchist mentors & comrades with other large, respected anarchist
media outlets.
Yes, Fauda has been properly vetted and vouched for. Yes, they do have relationships
with the ISM. Yes, we have comrades who have IRL relationships with Fauda. Yes, it is
acceptable for people on the ground in Palestine to ask for donations of e-SIMS and
money to buy supplies without having to go through massive nonprofits.
And no, support for Fauda isn't just a bunch of white westerners donating money and
wiping their hands clean. Anarchists all over Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin
America, outside of the fucking so-called USA are showing up hard for Fauda.
Anarchists in support of Fauda are also on the frontlines of autonomous direct actions,
blockades, and protests.
Vetting and vouching are skills all wise anarchists must cultivate. Bad-jacketing has
detrimental consequences. It is important to share our concerns, critiques, and
reactions and not silence ourselves, ever, but it is wise to balance that with clear
framing of when things are opinions, strong opinions, facts, when things have been
confirmed or not. As a journalistic account, I value these things deeply.
A month and a half ago I shared many of the concerns and bad-jacketing themes with
Fauda comrades, and while they wanted to address it publicly, they ultimately realized
they didn't have enough fucking time admist war conditions to assure English speakers
of their legitimacy. They repeated so much, "Palestine has always been alone and
forgotten, this isn't new to us." Maybe they will address it someday, but for now I am
praying each night for their safety, and emotionally and materially supporting them
along with comrades internationally.
And a final note on our Fauda comrades, no, they don't have "broken Arabic." Most of
them only speak Ameyeh, or the Palestinian spoken dialect of Arabic. One of them has
broken English.
