6 Palestinians Killed, Scores Injured and Abducted by Israeli Occupation Apartheid Regime Forces

June 13, 2021 

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 abuse, mistreatment, and violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

 IMEMC, JUN 13, 2021

Israeli occupation soldiers killed, on Saturday evening, a Palestinian woman at the Qalandia Terminal, north of occupied Jerusalem, after she allegedly attempted to attack them.

Israeli Occupation Soldiers Injure Several Palestinians In Nablus

The invasion led to protests, and the soldiers fired more gas bombs, in addition to concussion grenades and rubber-coated steel bullets.

It is worth mentioning that the army frequently invades the eastern area of Nablus to accompany the colonists into the historic site, an issue that leads to protests, in addition to the ongoing invasions of homes and the abduction of many Palestinians.

Joseph the patriarch is revered by Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Samaritans alike, however, the Israeli military allows Jews to visit as part of organized pilgrimages, despite the site being in Area A where the Palestinian Authority theoretically has full control. The Palestinians are not allowed to worship at the site.

Ultra-orthodox and nationalist Jews constantly try to visit the shrine without approval, as many Jews believe the tomb to be the final resting place of the biblical figure in the Old Testament.

Palestinians believe that Joseph’s Tomb is the funerary monument to Sheikh Yousif Dweikat, a local religious figure.

On Wednesday afternoon, the soldiers invaded the western area of Tulkarem city, in northern West Bank.

Furthermore, the soldiers invaded the archeological area in Sebastia Palestinian town, northwest of Nablus, in northern West Bank.
