Hundreds of Palestinian Muslim Worshippers Injured at Al-Aqsa Mosque, Attacks Everywhere By Israeli Occupation Soldiers

May 10, 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 violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

The Israeli occupation army fired on Monday at dawn, several missiles, and shells into various areas in the northern, central, and southern parts of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Media sources in Gaza said the Israeli occupation soldiers, stationed in military camps across the perimeter fence, fire two artillery shells at a site in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, causing fire, and severe damage, but did not lead to casualties.
