Israeli Occupation Soldiers Injure 20 Palestinians in Gaza, Abduct 8 in the West Bank, Fire Missiles on Sites, Invade Village, and Demolish a Home

March 4, 2019 

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.

The home is a 100 square/meters one-story building, providing shelter for ten family members, and first received a demolition order in June of 2018.

ISM Report: Palestinians in Prayer Shot with Rubber-coated Steel Bullets, Tear Gas

March 3, 2019 5:03 AM IMEMC News & Agencies

03/01/19 | International Solidarity Movement | Al-Khalil Team

Non-violent peaceful protesters met with tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets in Ras Karkar.

In 2018, settlers invaded land atop al-Risan Mountain, which overlooks the three villages Ras Karkar, Kafr Ni’ma and Kharbatha Bani Harith. Since then, local Palestinians have gathered in a valley below the mountain, every Friday, to non-violently protest the theft of their land, trying each week to get past occupation forces who now keep them from accessing it.

Earlier today ISMers attended the weekly protest. We arrived in the valley at 12 midday, where a group of approximately 40 locals were gathering. Border Police were stationed on the hillside across from us. As the protesters tried to lay down a large plastic mat to pray on, they were fired upon with tear gas. They tried to set down the mat in several different locations, but were fired upon again and again.

Eventually, the border police came down the mountain to talk to the Imam; after a brief dialogue the police stood by while the Palestinians prayed. Once the prayers ended, the border police retreated back up the mountain, and shortly after recommenced their tear gas bombardment. They also fired rubber-coated steel bullets, hitting at least one Palestinian.

Some of the younger demonstrators wielded slings, just as David did against Goliath, in the Valley of Elah, not far from here. Their rocks fell short of the occupation forces’ defensive line, while some managed to hurl tear gas canisters back toward the border police.

Border police continued to fire tear gas even as protesters retreated, pushing us back to our vehicles. They persisted in their firing, eventually forcing us to leave the site by car. Protesters had to be cautious today as there was no ambulance on site, and serious injuries have been sustained in previous weeks.
