Summary
In 1981, the young Palestinian preacher ʿAbd al-ʿAziz ʿAwda gave a sermon in the White Mosque of Beach camp, Gaza. There, he spoke about the necessity of violently fighting the Israeli occupation, of liberating the entirety of Palestine, and about the duty of the Islamic movement to lead the armed struggle. The slogan he proposed to his followers was “Islam, jihad, and Palestine”: Islam as the starting point, jihad as the means, and the liberation of Palestine as the goal.
