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).

"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).

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.

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.

Editorial Notes about terms & names of people and places:

1. Names of people and places have been standardized to match standard Arabic grammatical rules.

2. Underlined letters and letters preceded by an apostrophe are references to Arabic letter sounds, which does not exist in the English alphabet.

3. The English letter i is equivalent to the Arabic short vowel known as kasra, as in Ibraheem and Qasim as well as in the English words sit and bit. So, it is incorrect to use it as a long vowel for such Arabic names as Jameel and Jibreel.

4. The English letter e is equivalent to the Arabi short vowel known as fat'ha, as in A'hmed and Mu'hammed.

5. It is more accurate to refer to the land-grabbing Israelis, who establish illegal settlements in the Palestinian territory of the West Bank, as illegal Israeli settlers, than referring to them as colonists.

The term colony is a reference to a large entity or a country, such as American states before independence. It was also a reference to Egypt, and India, when they were British colonies.

In addition, the term "colony" represents a positive nostalgic theme, in the minds of native speakers of English, particularly in America and Britain.

6. It is more accurate to use the verb "abduct" than the verb "detain," in reference to taking Palestinian citizens by force to prisons and interrogation centers, by Israeli occupation regime soldiers. This is because the presence of the Israeli occupation regime forces is illegal in the Palestinian territories, and they have no jurisdiction over the Palestinian people.

GMO: Gaza on the brink of starvation

November 21, 2023, GAZA, (PIC) +-

The Government Media Office (GMO) has warned that the living conditions in the Gaza Strip amid the ongoing Israeli hideous aggression and the suffocating siege raise concerns about witnessing a potential famine and the spread of diseases.

The GMO said in a statement on Monday, that it charges the international community led by the US with responsibility for the anticipated famine as they have been planning to displace the Palestinian people from Gaza Strip to Egypt, which is totally rejected by the Palestinian people.

It also called on international organizations and world bodies to stop the “deliberate starvation” of Palestinians.

The statement stressed that “Day after day, the humanitarian situation in the besieged enclave has been worsening significantly and unprecedentedly.”

“Shops and markets now have no basic food items, including flour, rice and canned foods, and bakeries have also been bombed by Israeli airstrikes and completely closed,” it added.

The GMO also said that there are growing fears that Gaza will be plunged into famine and diseases will spread more quickly as the number of displaced people has caused overcrowding, which has created an increasing demand for basic relief materials that do not exist in the first place.

It also pointed out that in light of the deteriorated medical sector in Gaza, the cold weather and rain have made the situation unbearable for displaced Palestinians, with most of them unequipped for the coming winter months.

The media office said that it holds the international community responsible for the dire consequences of such a situation, calling on the international organizations and world bodies to stop the crime of “deliberate starvation” of Palestinians that has been given the green light by the international community and implemented by the Israeli occupation forces against around 2.4 million Palestinians in Gaza.

The GMO statement called on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) to shoulder its responsibility and supply Palestinians across the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid and basic needs required for their survival.

It called on the Arab and Muslim countries to push for opening the Rafa'h border crossing permanently and to supply Gaza with food and humanitarian aid before a real catastrophe takes place in the besieged enclave.

UNICEF: "Children’s Day is a sad day for Gaza children"

Situation in Gaza is “catastrophic for children”

November 21, 2023, GAZA, (PIC) +-

UNICEF has described the situation across the Gaza Strip as “catastrophic for children,” stressing that Monday, November 20, was a sad day for them as the world marked “Children’s Day.”

According to UNICEF on Tuesday, the children of Gaza do not receive the minimum sufficient amount of drinking water, while many diseases have spread among them due to malnutrition and the absence of clean water.

UNICEF spokesman Toby Fricker told Al-Jazeera tv satellite channel that there are 340,000 children in Gaza under five years of age and the majority of them suffer from malnutrition.

Fricker said that the Israeli war on Gaza had displaced over 800,000 children from their homes and forced them to live in in difficult conditions in overcrowded shelter centers, adding that the aid entering Gaza is very little, with only hospitals in southern Gaza receiving medical supplies from UNICEF.

The spokesman reiterated the need for a humanitarian truce in Gaza in order to protect and help the children.

The number of the Gazan children killed by the Israeli army since October 7 has surged to over 5,600, while many others are reported missing under the rubble of buildings, according to the latest official estimates in Gaza.

Amnesty says it has damning evidence of Israeli war crimes in Gaza

November 21, 2023, GAZA, (PIC) +-

Amnesty has accused the Israeli army of showing shocking disregard for civilian lives in the Gaza Strip, pounding streets, infrastructure and buildings, and killing civilians on a mass scale, describing its practices as “war crimes.”

In a statement released on Monday, Amnesty International said it documented “unlawful Israeli attacks, including indiscriminate attacks, which caused mass civilian casualties and must be investigated as war crimes.”

Amnesty explained that it “spoke to survivors and eyewitnesses, analyzed satellite imagery, and verified photos and videos to investigate air bombardments carried out by Israeli forces between 7 and 12 October, which caused horrific destruction, and in some cases wiped out entire families.”

“In each of these cases, Israeli attacks violated international humanitarian law, including by failing to take feasible precautions to spare civilians, or by carrying out indiscriminate attacks that failed to distinguish between civilians and military objectives, or by carrying out attacks that may have been directed against civilian objects,” Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, said.

“For 16 years, Israel’s illegal blockade has made Gaza the world’s biggest open-air prison – the international community must act now to prevent it becoming a giant graveyard. We are calling on Israeli forces to immediately end unlawful attacks in Gaza and ensure that they take all feasible precautions to minimize harm to civilians and damage to civilian objects. Israel’s allies must immediately impose a comprehensive arms embargo given that serious violations under international law are being committed,” Callamard said.

“Our research points to damning evidence of war crimes in Israel’s bombing campaign that must be urgently investigated. Decades of impunity and injustice and the unprecedented level of death and destruction of the current offensive will only result in further violence and instability in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories,” Callamard underlined.

“It is vital that the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court urgently expedites its ongoing investigation into evidence of war crimes and other crimes under international law by all parties. Without justice and the dismantlement of Israel’s system of apartheid against Palestinians, there can be no end to the horrifying civilian suffering we are witnessing,” she added.

'Israel' deliberately kills Al-Mayadeen's crew in South Lebanon

By Al-Mayadeen English, November 21, 2023

Al-Mayadeen's correspondent, Fara'h 'Omar, alongside cameraman Rabee' Al-Me'mari, were martyred today by an Israeli bombing that deliberately targeted them after they had just finished their live broadcast.

Farah Omar, and Rabee' Al-Me'mari, Al-Mayadeen's correspondent and cameraman who were targeted by an Israeli airstrike.

Al-Mayadeen's correspondent, Farah Omar, and cameraman Rabee' Al-Me'mari were murdered earlier today in an Israeli airstrike on their location in Tayr Harfa, South Lebanon.

An Israeli warplane fired two rockets on Fara'h and Rabee's location.

Farah and Rabee' had just ended a live broadcast at 10 a.m., giving updates on the latest Israeli bombardment in South Lebanon. She and her colleagues were targeted soon after they wrapped up their coverage and went off air.

"Israel" has not been averse to the targeting of journalists, and has done so numerous times in the past month, both in Gaza and in South Lebanon.

Soon after the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and as Israeli shelling on South Lebanon began to increase, "Israel" bombed journalists covering the events in the South, killing Reuters journalist 'Isam Abdallah, wounding two other Reuters journalists and an Al-Jazeera tv crew.

Again, on November 13, "Israel" launched a strike on media crews, including Al-Mayadeen's, in the Lebanese town of Yaroun, near the border. However, the attack thankfully did not result in any injuries.

Al-Mayadeen banned in Occupied Palestine

The intentional killing of our beloved colleagues Farah and Rabi'h comes after the Israeli war cabinet approved on November 13 regulations that would allow the occupation government to ban and shut down Al-Mayadeen Media Network.

According to the decision, Al-Mayadeen is said to be harming Israeli "national security."

Commenting on this issue, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al-Mayadeen Media Network, Ghassan Ben Jeddou, during an interview with Al-Nour Radio, confirmed that "Israel's" decision to ban Al-Mayadeen "was not a technical decision. It was not even a political decision. In fact, it was a military decision related to the national security of Israel."

"For the first time in history, the war cabinet, entrusted by the United States to make the most important decisions during this war, met to discuss Al-Mayadeen Network as a topic on its agenda," he explained.
