Part one of an essay entitled, “This is Gaza: A War of Existence, Not a War of Borders”:

“The loyal people of the Ummah interested in change must go to Afghanistan, learn from its conditions, and benefit from their [the Taliban’s] experience… the continuation of the genocide [in Gaza] calls for the Islamic peoples to strike all Zionist interests (both Western and Jewish) in all Islamic lands.”

“This strike must be a painful one as we are too late in doing what is required of us.” Bill Roggio and Caleb Weiss, “Al Qaeda leader calls foreign fighters to Afghanistan,” Long War Journal, June 8, 2024, https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2024/06/al-qaeda-leader-calls-foreign-fighters-to-afghanistan.php.

In response to a video about the discovery of the body of Shani Louk, a hostage kidnapped by Hamas during its October 7, 2023, attack on the Nova music festival in Israel:

“Fanatic Zionist Jews have no problem sacrificing their own for Greater Israel. They people are dancing on Shabbat, which in old days would be a death sentence. Israel knew it was coming, so why did they move the festival closer to where Hamas would fly in?” (Tweet)“Lucas Gage,” Twitter post, May 18, 2024, 2:30 p.m., https://x.com/Lucas_Gage_/status/1791899198553501766.

In response to European countries aiding Israel during an April 13 Iranian missile attack:

“All criminals should know that their actions and crimes have been recorded. France, Germany, and England should not think that that night [April 13] they came, brought their planes, and left, the matter was over and done with. Yes, that night ended, but their accountability remains.”“IRGC General Warns UK, France, Germany, and Regional Leaders,” Iran International, May 16, 2024, https://www.iranintl.com/en/202405163718.
