بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

"مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَٰلِكَ كَتَبْنَا عَلَىٰ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا"  (الْمَائِدَةُ ، 5: 32).

"وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا" (النِّسَاءُ ، 4: 93).

"إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ " (الإسْرَاءُ ، 17: 7). 

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

"Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul, unless for a soul, or for corruption in the land, it is as if he had killed humankind entirely" (The Holy Quran, Al-Ma-ida, 5: 32).

"And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him, and has cursed him, and has prepared for him a great torment" (Al-Nisa, 4: 93).

"If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, (you do it) to yourselves" (Al-Isra, 17: 7).

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.

‎American solidarity family calls on Washington to conduct independent investigation into her murder ‎

‎Ramallah 7-9-2024 Wafa -

The family of Turkish-American solidarity activist, Aisha-Nour Eci, who was killed by the Israeli occupation soldiers in the town of Baita, south of Nablus, demanded an independent investigation into her murder.‎

‎Aisha-Nour Egy, 26, was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier during her participation in the weekly demonstration against settlements in Beita town on Friday, and was transferred to Rafeedya Governmental Surgical Hospital in Nablus, where doctors announced her death from her critical injuries.‎

‎Her family said in a statement: "She was abducted from our lives in vain, illegally and violently, by the Israeli army‎‎."‎

‎"Aisha Nour, an American citizen, was peacefully defending justice when she was killed by a bullet that video footage shows came from an Israeli army sniper‎‎," it said.‎

‎"We appeal to President (Joe) Biden, Vice President (Kamala) Harris and Secretary of State (Antony) Blinken to issue instructions for an independent investigation into the unlawful killing of a U.S. citizen and to verify full accountability for those‎‎ ‎‎guilty‎‎," the‎‎ family statement said.‎

‎Ege was a member of the International Solidarity Movement with Our People, which she said was in Baita on Friday as part of a weekly demonstration against settlements‎‎.‎

‎The International Solidarity Movement rejected Israeli allegations that activists threw stones at Israeli soldiers as "false".‎

‎"Aisha Nour was more than 200 meters away from where the Israeli soldiers were stationed, and there was no confrontation in the minutes before she was killed," the organization said in a statement.‎

‎Turkey said it was shot dead by the Israeli occupation soldiers, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the "brutal" act.‎

‎Washington called Egy's death "tragic" and called on Israel to investigate. However, the victim's family has called for an independent investigation‎‎.‎ ‎ ‎‎"Given the circumstances of Aisha Nour's murder, it is inappropriate to conduct an Israeli investigation," the family said.‎

3 Israeli border guards killed in shooting at the Karama Crossing

Sunday 8-September-2024

WEST BANK, (PIC)

Three Israeli border guards were killed on Sunday morning in a shooting attack by a Jordanian truck driver who was shot dead by other guards near the Karama (Allenby) Crossing connecting Jordan and the occupied West Bank.

Hebrew media said that three Israelis guards were seriously injured in the shooting near the Crossing. Later, Israeli medics reported that the three injured Israelis had died from their wounds.

According to the Hebrew newspaper Maariv, the three fatalities in the shooting at the Karama crossing were members of the security forces of the Israeli crossings authority.

It was reported that the shooter was shot and left to bleed before confirmation of his martyrdom. The Israeli broadcasting authority mentioned that the military is investigating the possibility that the assailant was a Jordanian driver. Yedioth Ahronoth reported that a Jordanian truck driver, who came from Jordan to the crossing, drew a gun and opened fire on the Israelis in the cargo area.

Meanwhile, Palestinian resistance factions praised the shooting operation carried out by the Jordanian driver near the Karama crossing, asserting that it was a painful blow to the Israeli security. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said in a statement that the execution of the operation at the Karama crossing, from point zero, is a painful strike against the Israeli security system and a fiery message from a Jordanian youth against the crimes of the occupation in Palestine.

The Front emphasized that this operation is a legitimate response to the ongoing crimes perpetrated by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza, the West Bank, and inside the prisons. It stressed that this operation proves the failure of the disastrous peace agreements in subduing Arab youth or undermining their national duties towards the Palestinian cause, highlighting that the brave Jordanian youth reflected the conscience of every Arab youth.

It called on the Arab youth to emulate the Jordanian youth, engage in the battle of honor and dignity, and defend the Arab identity of Palestine and its oppressed people.

For its part, the Palestinian Resistance Committees expressed its support for and endorsement of the shooting operation near the Karama crossing, noting that it occurred despite Israel’s heightened readiness and alertness, affirming the strength and significant effectiveness of the resistance.

The Resistance Committees affirmed that the operation at the Karama crossing, with its renewed creativity, represents a new blow to the Israeli security system.
