Examples of Daily Israeli Atrocities and Mistreatment of the Palestinian People

 September 27, 2018 

Editor's Note:

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 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 David, Solomon, 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 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.

The following news stories are just examples of the Israeli occupation government violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

Hundreds of illegal Israeli Settlers Storm Al-Aqsa over Sukkot Holiday

September 25, 2018 8:19 PM IMEMC News & Agencies

Heavily armed Israeli occupation soldiers escorted hundreds of Israeli settlers into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, on Tuesday, to celebrate the Jewish  Sukkot holiday, while the Israeli occupation government prevented restoration work from being completed in the compound.

Firas al-Dibs, head of the Public Relations and Media Department at the Islamic Endowment (Waqf), said that at least 420 Israeli settlers stormed the compound from 7:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.

Al-Dibs added, according to Ma’an, that illegal Israeli settlers stormed the compound in large successive groups through the Moroccan Gate, one of the compound’s entrances under full Israeli control.

Al-Dibs mentioned that the Israeli settlers were chanting the Israeli national anthem “Hatikvah” as they provocatively toured the entire compound.

Director of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani, said that Israeli forces took photographs of Muslim worshipers, as well as of the staff members of the Endowment department, as they were working on restoration projects in the compound.

Al-Kiswani also confirmed that the staff was prevented from completing restoration work on the compound, pointing out that Israeli authorities have been preventing restoration work through detentions and extensive interrogations.

Palestinians repeatedly accuse Israel of meddling in the internal affairs of the Muslim holy site with an intention to gain control over it and to turn it into a Jewish temple, due to the belief that it is the historical site of Jewish temples which were destroyed thousands of years ago.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which sits just above the Western Wall plaza, houses both the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque. The third holiest site in Islam, it is also venerated as Judaism’s most holy place, as it sits where Jews believe the First and Second Temples once stood.
