While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written human history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of Prophets David and Solomon , peace be upon them, and Solomon's son).

 After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.

By the Time Jesus, peace be upon him, started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.

No matter what the Zionists and their supporters do, they cannot change the will of God, Who promised the Holy Land to Abraham and his descendants, basically the Palestinian Muslims and Christians.

No matter how much persecution and aggression the Zionists and their supporters inflict upon the Palestinian people, they will never be able to force them out of the Holy Land, which Allah, praise to Him, promised for them, and kept His promise ever since.

This is a necessary brief background to understand the US-Backed Zionist Israeli continuous wars against the Arab nation generally, and the Palestinian people in particular, which included the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1978, 1982, the brutal crushing of the two Uprisings (1987-1993 and 2000-2004), 2009, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the current genocidal war on Gaza (Since October 7, 2023), which has culminated a blockade of Gaza since 2007. In addition, the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime launched so many covert operations, raids, and air strikes on many Arab states since 1948.

The following news stories are just examples, not a systematic record, of the Israeli occupation government abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Editorial Notes about terms & names of people and places:

1. Names of people and places have been standardized to match standard Arabic grammatical rules.

2. Underlined letters and letters preceded by an apostrophe are references to Arabic letter sounds, which does not exist in the English alphabet.

3. The English letter i is equivalent to the Arabic short vowel known as kasra, as in Ibraheem and Qasim as well as in the English words sit and bit. So, it is incorrect to use it as a long vowel for such Arabic names as Jameel and Jibreel.

4. The English letter e is equivalent to the Arabi short vowel known as fat'ha, as in A'hmed and Mu'hammed.

5. It is more accurate to refer to the 
land-grabbing Israelis, who establish illegal settlements in the Palestinian territory of the West Bank, as illegal Israeli settlers, than referring to them as colonists.

The term colony is a reference to a large entity or a country, such as American states before independence. It was also a reference to Egypt, and India, when they were British colonies.

In addition, the term "colony" represents a positive nostalgic theme, in the minds of native speakers of English, particularly in America and Britain.

6. It is more accurate to use the verb "abduct" than the verb "detain," in reference to taking Palestinian citizens by force to prisons and interrogation centers, by Israeli occupation regime soldiers. This is because the presence of the Israeli occupation regime forces is illegal in the Palestinian territories, and they have no jurisdiction over the Palestinian people.

Contrary to the Israeli lies, there were no resistance fighters inside the UNRWA Al-Ja'ouni School in Al-Nusayrat refugee camp

'Hamas belies Israeli claim against bombed UNRWA-run school, where 16 displaced Palestinians were killed and 75 were injured

Sunday 7-July-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

The 'Hamas Movement has described the Israeli occupation army’s claim that there were resistance fighters inside the UNRWA-run Al-Ja'ouni School in Al-Nusayrat refugee camp as “pure lies” aimed at justifying its attack that claimed the lives of 16 displaced civilians and injured dozens sheltering in the school.

In a statement on Saturday, Hamas accused the Israeli army of trying to provide pretexts for its crimes and massacres and hide its clear goals of exterminating the Palestinian people and destroying all aspects of life in the Gaza Strip.

“Shelters for displaced citizens and UNRWA schools and facilities have been exposed to systematic attacks and destruction that claimed the lives of hundreds of our people, including children, women and elderlies,” Hamas said.

“The number of the bombed UNRWA facilities has reached 190 shelter centers — a situation that reflects the criminal intents of the Nazi occupation government and its plan to destroy them and kill the largest number of defenseless civilians sheltering inside them as part of its ongoing fascist war of extermination against our people,” Hamas added.

The Movement stressed that Israel’s brutal massacres and massive destruction policy in Gaza are “war crimes and a flagrant violation of the international law that require a clear position from the international community and action to hold Israeli leaders accountable.”

At least 16 displaced civilians were martyred in an Israeli attack on the Al-Ja'ouni School, which is used as a shelter center, in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the Government Media Office (GMO) said.

In a statement, GMO added that more than 75 people were also injured in the attack on the school in central Gaza’s Nuseirat camp.

GMO also said that the Israeli army had bombed more than 17 shelter centers, including schools, in an-Nuseirat camp since the beginning of the genocidal war on Gaza.

“There are only two hospitals in the central governorate, ‘Al-Aqsa and Al-Awda,’ and these two hospitals are unable to provide proper health and medical services as a result of the severe overcrowding and the many casualties that were evacuated to them over the past months,” GMO pointed out.

“There are great challenges facing the humanitarian and health work in an-Nuseirat camp and the central governorate as a result of the genocidal war,” GMP underlined.

Reporting from Deir al-Balah yesterday, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khudari said hundreds of Palestinian families had sought shelter at the Al-Jaouni School after they were forced to flee Israel’s bombardment in other areas of Gaza.

The families “chose the middle area of the Gaza Strip because Israeli forces claimed it was a safe zone,” Khudari said.

Last month, an Israeli attack on an UNRWA-run school – also in Nuseirat refugee camp – killed at least 40 people and injured dozens more.

Israeli occupation army kills three Palestinian Gazan civilian detainees immediately after their release

Sunday 7-July-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

Red Crescent paramedics recovered on Sunday the bodies of three handcuffed Palestinian civilians after they were executed in cold blood in the east of Rafah, south of the  Gaza Strip.

Local sources said that the slain citizens were detainees kidnaped recently from  Gaza, but the Israeli army shot them dead immediately after releasing them at the Karm Abu Salim border crossing in the southeast of Gaza.

Local media sources, for their part, said that the Israeli army also deliberately fired an artillery projectile at a number of other detainees after releasing them in eastern Rafah, injuring a number of them.

The media sources identified all the detainees as civilian workers who were responsible for guarding aid trucks, saying they were kidnaped several days ago while they were waiting for aid trucks in the area of  Gaza Airport, east of Rafah.

UNRWA: Due to the Israeli genocidal blockage of food and fuel aid supplies, Gaza children spend long hours a day to collect food and water

Sunday 7-July-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

UNRWA has said that children in the Gaza Strip spend six to eight hours a day searching for food and water, carrying heavy weights and walking long distances.

“Sanitation facilities and infrastructure are severely compromised, forcing thousands of families to rely on seawater to wash, clean and even drink,” the agency added on its X page on Saturday.

Israel, flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, has been facing, for long months, international condemnation over its persistent massive attacks on Gaza.

Since October 7, 2023, more than 38,000 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 87,800 others injured, according to local health authorities.

Israel is also accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern area of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.

Rishiq: We appreciate Dr. Mustafa Al-Barghouthi’s national positions, condemn incitement against him

Sunday 7-July-2024

DOHA, (PIC)

A senior Hamas official expressed his appreciation for the clarification issued by Dr. Mustafa Al-Barghouthi regarding his participation in a seminar in Italy, condemning the attempts to target him and incite against him.

'Hamas Media Office Director Ezzet Al-Rishiq denied in a statement on Saturday that his Movement had issued any statement criticizing Dr. Mustafa Al-Barghouthi, the Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative movement, stressing that the “suspicious parties targeting Dr. Al-Barghouthi are the same ones targeting the resistance.”

He said, “The circulated statement is a forged statement that was not issued by the Movement and was not published on any of its official platforms.”

Rishiq added, “We appreciate the national positions of Dr. Al-Barghouthi and his repudiation of the Zionist narrative, especially during the ongoing Zionist aggression against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.”

Earlier, Al-Barghouthi pledged to continue confronting normalization in all its forms and all its dangerous projects, explaining the context of the seminar in Italy.

Al-Barghouthi said in a press statement, “Our position will not change a bit, no matter how the biased parties incite.”

He explained the details of the event in Italy, saying, “During my short visit to Italy, I was invited to participate in a political seminar that included eight speakers, including the Mayor of Rome, Italian parliamentarians and diplomats, and it was a public open seminar, not a Palestinian-Israeli meeting as some biased parties promoted.”

He added, “Unfortunately, and due to the lack of time, I did not have the opportunity to thoroughly investigate the nature of all the participants in the seminar, which was attended by the Israeli politician and the opponent who works as a lecturer at Spanish universities, Shlomo Ben-Ami.”

Al-Barghouthi explained that “this was an unintentional mistake, which should have been avoided and not fallen into, regardless of the positions of the aforementioned person, who described the Israeli government as a fundamentalist, fascist.”
