"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).

"إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيراً ‎(الإسْرَاءُ ، 17: 7). 

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

"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).

"If you do good, you do good for yourselves; and if you do evil, (you do it) to yourselves. Then, when the latter (final) promise came, they (your enemies) will sadden your faces, and to enter the Masjid (in Jerusalem), as they entered it the first time, and will destroy what they had taken over with (total) destruction (Al-Isra, 17: 7).

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.

This is a necessary brief background to understand the US-Backed Zionist Israeli continuous wars against the Arab nation generally, and the Palestinian people in particular, which included the wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1978, 1982, the brutal crushing of the two Uprisings (1987-1993 and 2000-2004), 2009, 2012, 2014, 2021, and the current genocidal war on Gaza (Since October 7, 2023), which has culminated a blockade of Gaza since 2007. In addition, the Israeli occupation and apartheid regime launched so many covert operations, raids, and air strikes on many Arab states since 1948.

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.

GAZA, November 8, 2025 (WAFA) – 

The death toll in the Gaza Strip has continued to rise, reaching 69,169, the majority of whom were women and children, since the beginning of the Israeli genocidal war on the Palestinian people, in Gaza Strip, since October 2023.

This toll remains incomplete, as many victims remain trapped under rubble, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue crews.

Since the ceasefire went into effect on October 11, 2025, the number of those killed and injured has reached 241 and 614, respectively. At least  522 bodies have also been recovered.

UN: Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank reach highest level in nearly 20 years

RAMALLAH, November 8, 2025 (WAFA) – 

The United Nations reported that the illegal Israeli settlers carried out 264 attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank during October, the highest monthly figure in nearly 20 years.

UN Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq, speaking at a press conference, noted an unprecedented surge in attacks by Israeli colonists against Palestinians in the West Bank, according to data from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

He added that OCHA recorded 264 attacks last month that resulted in Palestinian deaths, property damage, or both, emphasizing that this figure represents the highest monthly toll in nearly 20 years.

He further stressed that the total number of Israeli attacks against Palestinians since 2006 has reached 6,900, with approximately 15 percent, or about 1,500, occurring this year.

He stated that colonist violence has resulted in the displacement of 3,200 Palestinians from their land, the killing of many by gunfire, the injury of hundreds more, and the loss of livelihoods for many others.

The Deputy Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General confirmed that colonist attacks typically target Palestinian trees, vehicles, homes, and infrastructure.

He added that OCHA data also documented the killing of 42 children as a result of attacks by the occupation and colonists in the West Bank this year, representing one in every five Palestinians killed.

In its monthly report, the organization stated that colonist attacks resulted in the killing of Jihad Mu'hammed 'Ajaj, 26, from the town of Dair Jareer, who was shot dead by colonists. This brings the number of Palestinians killed by colonist gunfire since the beginning of 2025 to 14.

The report added that colonists carried out 352 acts of vandalism and theft against Palestinian property, affecting vast areas of land. Furthermore, settler attacks, aided by the Israeli army, resulted in the uprooting, destruction, and poisoning of 1,200 olive trees.

Palestinian Journalists Syndicate: Illegal Israeli settler attack on journalists in Baita constitutes a war crime

RAMALLAH, November 8, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate said today that the armed assault carried out by dozens of the illegal Israeli settlers against Palestinian journalists in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, constitutes a war crime aimed at killing members of the press and preventing them from documenting ongoing attacks.

According to the Syndicate, dozens of armed colonists stormed the town and directly targeted journalists who were covering developments in the area. The colonists fired live ammunition, physically assaulted the journalists, and attempted to destroy their equipment, in an attack described as deliberate and coordinated.

Five journalists were injured during the assault: Ranin Sawaftah, Mohammad Al-Atrash, Louay Saeed, Nasser Shtayeh, and Nael Buweitel. Medical teams provided treatment at the scene, and some of the journalists required further medical evaluation due to the severity of their injuries.

The Syndicate stressed that the attack is part of an escalating campaign of violence against Palestinian journalists in the occupied West Bank, particularly in areas where colonist activity is expanding. It warned that journalists are increasingly being targeted to silence coverage of land seizures, settler violence, and military operations.

The organization added that it is in direct contact with the International Federation of Journalists to push for urgent international intervention to protect Palestinian journalists, noting that they are being systematically targeted in violation of international humanitarian law. 

It also stated that it will work with international legal organizations and courts to ensure that the perpetrators are held accountable.

Irish football body overwhelmingly backs call to suspend Israel from UEFA

DUBLIN, November 8, 2025 (WAFA) –

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling for the immediate suspension of Israel from UEFA competitions over violations of UEFA statutes related to racism and the participation of Israeli clubs in occupied Palestinian territory.

During the FAI’s general assembly on Saturday, members voted 74 in favor, seven against, with two abstentions, to direct the association’s board to submit a formal motion to UEFA seeking Israel’s suspension.

The resolution argues that the Israeli Football Association has violated two core UEFA statutes: failing to enforce an effective antiracism policy and allowing Israeli clubs to play matches in occupied Palestinian territory without the consent of the Palestinian Football Association.

UEFA had previously considered a vote in October on Israel’s suspension amid global pressure over Israel’s military assault on Gaza, but the vote did not occur after a US-brokered ceasefire was announced on October 10.

The Irish move aligns with growing demands from football organizations and international bodies. In September, the heads of Turkey’s and Norway’s football federations publicly called for Israel’s suspension. 

United Nations experts have also urged both FIFA and UEFA to take action, citing a UN Commission of Inquiry report accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.

In October, more than 30 international legal experts also called on UEFA to bar Israel and its clubs from participation in European football.

Solidarity rally in Auckland calls for boycott of Israeli products

Saturday 8-November-2025

AUKLAND, (PIC)

The New Zealand Palestine Solidarity Network organized a solidarity rally with the Palestinian people on Saturday in Henderson, west of Auckland, the country’s largest city and economic capital. The rally was followed by a march along Lincoln Road, calling for a boycott of Israeli products and companies complicit in the genocide in Gaza.

Participants carried signs reading: “Don’t buy Israeli goods, boycott apartheid, boycott Israel,” “Gaza under attack, don’t buy from McDonald’s,” “Boycott and sanction Israel, take action against the occupation… Rocket Lab profits from genocide and destruction,” “Freedom for Palestine,” “We are one, Freedom for Palestine,” “We all stand for Palestine,” “Freedom for Gaza now,” and “Stop the brutality.”

The demonstrators chanted slogans such as: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” “One: we are the people, two: we won’t stop, three: we’re returning soon, six: Israel is a terrorist state,” “I’m coming back, back to my land, to Jaffa, to Gaza, to Jerusalem, to Haifa, I swear I’m coming back,” “Sanctions now,” “There’s only one solution, revolution,” and “Liberation, liberation, intifada, intifada.”

Speakers at the rally, including former Minister and opposition Labor MP Phil Twyford, and Neil Scott, the Secretary-General of the New Zealand Palestine Solidarity Network, emphasized the importance of boycotting Israeli products and companies complicit in the genocide against Palestinians, such as Rocket Lab. They also urged the New Zealand government to impose sanctions on Israel for its war crimes and violations of international law.

The stage also hosted speeches by Sudanese New Zealand activists Fatima El-Sanousi and Raghda 'Hasan, who spoke about the massacres currently taking place in Sudan at the hands of the Rapid Support Forces, which they accused of committing war crimes and genocide in the Darfur region “with funding from the United Arab Emirates, which profits billions from Sudanese gold,” as they stated.

El-Sanousi and 'Hasan called on the New Zealand government to withdraw from “the free trade agreement it recently signed with the UAE, otherwise it will be complicit in the war crimes being funded in Sudan.”

Alongside the speeches, the demonstration included a fundraising campaign for victims in Gaza through the sale of Palestinian flags of various sizes, vests, medals, and stickers expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza.

Mahir Nazzal, co-chair of the New Zealand Palestine Solidarity Network, said that “today’s demonstration is part of the activities we have been organizing weekly for over two years to stand with Palestine and condemn the genocide committed by Israel.”

Meanwhile, Labor MP Phil Twyford, who previously held several ministerial portfolios, including immigration, transport, economic development, urban affairs, and housing, noted that “the Palestine solidarity movement is growing stronger day by day, supported by a majority of New Zealanders and all opposition parties.”

He added, “The main demand now is to impose trade and economic sanctions on Israel for its repeated violations of international law, including the crime of genocide in Gaza and the ongoing illegal occupation of Palestinian land.”
