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: Hospitals receive 87 martyrs, death toll climbs to 64,455 martyrs

Sunday 7-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC, WAFA)

During the past 24 hours, hospitals in the Gaza Strip received the bodies of at least 87 civilians, as well as 409 people suffering from different injuries following Israeli attacks, according to Gaza’s health ministry on Sunday morning.

Accordingly, a total of 11,911 people have been killed and 50,735 others have been injured since the Israeli occupation army resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on March 18, 2025.

The new fatalities increased the death toll from the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, which started on October 7, 2023, to 64,455 martyrs, including 2,416 aid seekers, the health ministry said.

The ministry added that the total number of the wounded also surged to 162,776 people, including 17,709 aid seekers.

The ministry also said that Gaza’s hospitals recorded five new fatalities, including three children, in the past 24 hours due to starvation and malnutrition, bringing the death toll from the famine to 387 victims, including 138 children.

Emergency services are still unable to reach many casualties and dead bodies trapped under the rubble or scattered on roads across the war-torn enclave, as Israeli occupation forces continue to target ambulance and civil defense crews, according to the health authorities.

Israel's genocidal onslaught continues undeterred despite calls from the United Nations Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

GAZA, (PIC)

The Israeli occupation army continued, last night and on Sunday, to carry out intensive deadly strikes and target civilians in different areas of the Gaza Strip.

According to local media sources, Israeli forces also continued today to detonate and bomb more homes and tents and displace families across the Gaza Strip, further deepening the dire humanitarian crisis as the population grapples with worsening famine.

According to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reporter in Gaza, Israeli attacks have continued across the Gaza Strip, including a strike on a house that killed two people and injured others in Gaza City’s Al-Daraj neighborhood.

Two children were martyred and other civilians sustained injuries when a warplane bombed a tent sheltering a displaced family near the bombed headquarters of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Gaza City’s Al-Rimal neighborhood.

Casualties were also reported following an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City’s Al-Nafaq street.

The Israeli army also launched attacks on other areas of the Gaza Strip last night and today, killing and wounding more civilians, including children and women.

Meanwhile, dozens of people were martyred or injured in Israeli attacks on aid seekers near distribution points in separate areas of Gaza.

Five people, including two children, were also proclaimed dead due to starvation and malnutrition, while other Gazans were pronounced dead after they succumbed to injuries they sustained in recent attacks, according to Gaza’s health ministry today.

“If the Israeli occupation wants to kill us and our patients, so be it. We will not leave our hospitals or abandon our patients under any circumstances because the alternative is death,” he added.

He called for necessarily providing protection for hospitals and healthcare workers in Gaza in accordance with the Fourth Geneva Convention and international treaties.

Gaza City: Israeli occupation army destroyed, damaged over 150 buildings in one day

Sunday 7-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Since dawn on Sunday, the Israeli occupation army have completely destroyed more than 50 buildings and partially damaged about 100 others, including high-rise buildings housing thousands of thousands of civilians, according to Gaza’s civil defense service.

Spokesman for the civil defense Mahmoud Basal said that the Israeli army deliberately targets buildings surrounded by tents and shelter centers, adding that more than 200 tents had been destroyed following the bombing of adjacent buildings.

Spokesman Basal added that today’s Israeli attacks on Gaza City targeted the remaining mosques and sports facilities.

The spokesman pointed out that civil defense crews received distress calls from citizens trapped under the rubble in Al-Zarqa area of Al-Tuffah neighborhood after the Israeli army bombed a building with no prior notice.

He said that civil defense workers are extremely exhausted due to the intensity of attacks on the city, noting that today is considered one of “the most difficult days of the war” since it resumed on March 18, 2025.

He called on the international community to take urgent action to curb Israel’s ongoing massacres in Gaza City.

Euro-Med Monitor: Al-Mawasi is a death trap, not a humanitarian zone

Sunday 7-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Euro-Med Monitor said that Israel’s declaration of Al-Mawasi in Khan Younus as a “humanitarian zone” is propaganda, disproven by relentless military attacks and the dire conditions of hundreds of thousands of forcibly displaced people. Families there lack adequate shelter, food, water, and health services, living in overcrowded tents that especially endanger children, women, and the elderly.

Euro-Med Monitor added in a statement on Sunday that on 6 September, the Israeli army again claimed better services would be provided in Al-Mawasi, despite the area lacking infrastructure to host the huge numbers pushed there after Rafah and Khan Yunis were destroyed. The organization noted this is not the first time Israel made such claims. Since October 2023, Al-Mawasi has been subjected to continuous bombardment from air, land, and sea, in clear violation of international law.

The Monitor documented that Israeli fighter jets carried out 109 airstrikes on the area since October 2023, killing hundreds and injuring thousands. Military vehicles, drones, gunboats, and artillery fire repeatedly struck displaced people in their tents, burning them alive, or while they gathered for aid and water. According to the organization, designating Al-Mawasi as a “safe zone” has turned it into a tool of genocide, where dense overcrowding and highly destructive weapons inflicted maximum casualties and extreme psychological and physical suffering.

Euro-Med Monitor emphasized that any evacuation area under international law must be provided with adequate shelter, food, clean water, healthcare, and safety. Al-Mawasi offers none of these, functioning instead as a death trap. Covering only 12,000 dunums (three percent of Gaza), the former farmland cannot host nearly one million newly displaced alongside the 800,000 already there, leading to unbearable overcrowding and uninhabitable conditions.

The organization reported that hospitals in the zone are non-functional or targeted. The Nasser Medical Complex was stormed in February 2024, turned into a site of executions, then struck again last month by tank shells that killed more than 20 people, including five journalists, a doctor, and a civil defense worker. Al-Amal Hospital is out of service after repeated attacks; Gaza European Hospital is partly destroyed and located in a combat zone. Field hospitals provide minimal services but remain vulnerable, as seen when Israeli forces detained the Ministry of Health’s field hospitals director during an assault that also killed journalist Tamir Al-Za’aneen.

Euro-Med Monitor warned that displaced families endure starvation, dehydration, and lack of medicine, heightening risks of epidemics and infections. Many live in worn-out tents or outdoors without protection from heat, cold, or rain. The absence of sewage infrastructure has turned the area into an environment of slow death. The organization further noted that Israeli forces have turned aid distribution points into killing grounds, with at least 2,362 deaths and more than 17,434 injuries recorded so far.

The Monitor urged the international community to act under UN General Assembly Resolution 377 (Uniting for Peace) to deploy an international peacekeeping force in Gaza, ensuring civilian protection, unhindered aid, and the safety of medical and relief facilities. The organization stressed that states must also enforce sanctions on Israel, including bans on arms trade, suspension of political and military cooperation, freezing of assets of those involved in crimes, and cancellation of trade privileges that enable Israel’s violations.

The Monitor urged the international community to act immediately in accordance with its legal obligations, which were reaffirmed by the International Court of Justice in its most recent advisory opinion issued in 2024. It called for ending the root causes of the Palestinian people’s suffering and persecution over the past 77 years; ensuring their right to live in freedom, dignity, and self-determination under international law; ending Israel’s unlawful occupation and settlement colonialism imposed on Palestinian lands; dismantling the system of segregation and apartheid imposed on Palestinians; ensuring the full withdrawal of Israeli presence from the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967; lifting the unlawful blockade on the Gaza Strip; guaranteeing accountability for Israeli perpetrators; and upholding the Palestinian victims’ right to compensation and redress.

Euro-Med Monitor concluded that only urgent, collective action can stop the ongoing genocide and protect over two million Palestinians from annihilation.

Gaza: Death toll from starvation climbs to 387, including 138 kids

Sunday 7-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Five Palestinian citizens, including three children, died of starvation and malnutrition in the Gaza Strip within the past 24 hours, according to a statement released by Gaza’s health ministry on Sunday morning.

The new victims have raised the total number of hunger-related deaths in the famished coastal territory to 387 people, including 138 children, the health ministry said.

Since March 2, the Israeli occupation army has been closing all the border crossings with Gaza, preventing the flow of humanitarian aid and vital needs. Although limited quantities of aid have recently been allowed in, they remain insufficient to meet the minimum basic needs of the population.

Meanwhile, UNICEF spokeswoman Tess Ingram has warned of the escalating risk of famine in Gaza City, which could spread to central Gaza within weeks if urgent action is not taken.

She stressed that the threat of famine in Gaza City is real, noting that families are no longer able to provide food for their children and that the situation in the Strip has become “catastrophic.”

Speaking from Gaza in an interview with Anadolu Agency on Sunday, Ingram explained that Palestinians in the Strip, particularly in the east and north of Gaza City, are living under constant threat from intensified Israeli bombardment.

“Palestinians in these areas are fleeing westward towards the sea, where the number of camps and tents along the coastal strip continues to increase,” Ingram said.

Hospital directors, she added, reported a rising number of children suffering from fractures, burns, and wounds due to the recent Israeli strikes.

Many residents of Gaza City are considering moving south, she noted, but are aware that conditions there are similar — marked by shortages of food, safe drinking water, and ongoing bombardments.

“There is no safe place in Gaza,” she said.

A complete disaster

Ingram recalled that on August 22, the UN confirmed the existence of famine in Gaza, stressing that the situation has not changed since.

On that date, the UN’s Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) initiative reported the occurrence of famine in Gaza City (north) and projected that it would spread to Dair El-Bala'h (central) and Khan Younus (south) by the end of September.

“Parents are desperately searching for food and water. I met mothers and fathers who held my hands crying, asking: When will food arrive? Will our child survive until then? The situation is a complete disaster,” Ingram said, describing the situation.

Ingram pointed out that health workers, humanitarian staff, and journalists have been warning for months about famine in Gaza, “but nothing has changed.”

According to her, families feel helpless because they know that the worst is yet to come and that “there is not enough international pressure to change this reality.”

She added that UNICEF-supported clinics are overwhelmed with parents seeking medical examinations for their children, many of whom show signs of malnutrition and are already receiving treatment.

Children dying of hunger

On her visit this week to several malnutrition clinics in Gaza, Ingram said that “overall 15–20 percent of children examined suffer from malnutrition. This is a very high percentage, exceeding the famine threshold.”

“This means thousands of children are in urgent need of treatment, and that massive amounts of food and clean water must be delivered to Gaza immediately,” she continued.

“If the situation does not change, more children in Gaza will face the risk of dying from hunger.”

She reported that more than 110 children have died so far from malnutrition, nearly half of them in this year alone.

She stressed that these deaths are “man-made” and entirely preventable.

Ingram underlined that children are in desperate need of food, water, and medicine, emphasizing that hundreds of aid trucks must enter Gaza daily to meet basic needs, “but that is not happening yet.”

With US support, Israel has waged a war of extermination on Gaza since October 7, 2023, killing and injuring tens of thousands of civilians, mostly woman and children.

 Israeli occupation forces kidnap several Palestinians in overnight raids across the West Bank

RAMALLAH, September 7, 2025 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of overnight raids across the occupied West Bank early Sunday, kidnapping multiple Palestinians, including a woman and a young girl.

In Ramallah, the Israeli occupation forces, backed by military reinforcements, stormed the Ramallah El-Ta'hta neighborhood of the city and kidnapped Bashar El-Taweel and his wife Hanaa Baydaq after raiding their home, Palestinian security sources told WAFA.

In Jineen governorate, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society reported that Israeli occupation forces kidnapped Salam Ibraheem 'Ali, a young woman, after storming her family home in the village of Kufairit and searching it. Two more Palestinians were kidnapped in Jineen city and the town of Al-Yamoun, west of Jineen, after their homes were also raided and searched.

Meanwhile, in El-Khaleel (Hebron), local sources confirmed that two Palestinians were kidnapped. One was kidnapped from El-'Hawouz area following a raid on his home, during which the Israeli occupation soldiers also caused damage to his nearby shop. The other was taken into custody after the Israeli occupation forces raided and searched his home in the Beer El-Sab'a street area.

These detentions are part of a broader and long-standing Israeli policy of near-daily raids across the occupied West Bank. Human rights groups have repeatedly criticized the practice, noting that it often involves the use of excessive force, property damage, and the detention of individuals without formal charges.

Israeli occupation forces kidnap Silwan Club board member and attorney in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem)

Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), September 7, 2025 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation forces today kidnapped a member of the administrative board of a local sports club and a Palestinian lawyer in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

The Israeli forces kidnapped Ameen Maragha, a board member of Silwan Sports Club, after stopping his vehicle and leading him to the Russian Compound interrogation center, known as "El-Maskobiya," in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

The Israeli occupation forces also kidnapped attorney Ameer Maragha while he was passing through the Ras El-'Amoud neighborhood in the town of Silwan, south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. He was taken to El-Maskobiya interrogation center in western Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem).

For years, Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) has been the target of a systematic campaign of arrests by the Israeli occupation apartheid regime, affecting hundreds of residents annually, including national figures, athletes, activists, and journalists.

These detentions are part of an effort to suppress popular and national mobilization in the city, with detainees frequently subjected to harsh interrogations and administrative detention without charge or trial in Israeli prisons.

 Israeli occupation forces tighten military restrictions at entrances to Ramallah

RAMALLAH, September 7, 2025 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation forces intensified their restrictions early Sunday morning at the entrances to the towns of 'Ain Siniya and 'Atara, two of the several main roads leading to the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

WAFA correspondent reported that Israeli soldiers closed the two iron gates installed at the main entrances to 'Atara, effectively blocking access of vehicles to and from villages and towns north of Ramallah.

At the same time, a military checkpoint was set up at the main entrance to 'Ain Siniya, also north of Ramallah, where soldiers conducted random vehicle searches, causing significant traffic congestion in the area.

Israeli occupation forces frequently impose restrictions on Palestinian movement through the use of roadblocks, gates, and checkpoints. According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, the number of permanent and temporary Israeli barriers across the West Bank has reached 898, including military checkpoints and metal gates.

RAMALLAH, September 7, 2025 (WAFA) –

A group of the illegal Israeli settlers opened fire at citizens and their property on Sunday afternoon, and attacked a house in the town of Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah.

Local sources reported to WAFA that the illegal Israeli settlers opened fire at Palestinian citizens from Sinjil, while they were attempting to prevent a raid on the Muzayri'a area north of the town, where cows were grazing near homes, and an attack on one of the homes.

The sources stated that live bullets fired by the illegal Israeli settlers penetrated the windows of citizens' homes and hit a vehicle, but no injuries were reported.

They indicated that an Israeli occupation army force was accompanying the illegal Israeli settlers during this attack.

Earlier, a group of the illegal Israeli settlers raided the home of 'Imad Ma'ali, in the village of Dair Dibwan, east of Ramallah.

During the raid, the illegal Israeli settlers attempted to open the door of the house and a vehicle parked in front of it. They also cut the wiring of the surveillance cameras.

Eyewitnesses reported that one of the illegal Israeli settlers was carrying a machine gun and was wearing an occupation army uniform.

Israeli occupation forces issue demolition notices for homes and shops in al-Ram, north of Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem)

RAMALLAH, September 7, 2025 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation forces delivered demolition notices on Sunday morning targeting homes and commercial properties in the town of al-Ram, located north of Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), according to local sources.

The sources reported that Israeli forces stormed the neighborhood of Ras El-'Hayy and distributed demolition orders affecting three homes and four commercial shops, giving residents three days to comply. The pretext for the orders was construction without a permit—a justification frequently used by Israeli authorities to displace Palestinians in occupied areas.

The targeted area lies along the road connecting the Jaba' and Qalandya checkpoints, a strategic corridor in the Israeli government’s plan to expand a settler-only highway around Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem). The expansion is intended to link surrounding settlements while severing Palestinian neighborhoods from one another and from the city.

Palestinians and human rights organizations have long denounced Israel’s discriminatory building policies in Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem) and its surrounding areas, where building permits for Palestinians are rarely granted, forcing many to build without authorization. These illegal Israeli policies contribute to a systematic effort to alter the demographic and geographic landscape in favor of the illegal Israeli settlement expansion.

Mass demonstrations in Brussels in solidarity with Gaza

Sunday 7-September-2025

BRUSSELS, (PIC)

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of the Belgian capital on Sunday in large-scale marches condemning the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and demanding an immediate end to the assault.

The protests were organized by a coalition of 200 associations, with participants carrying red cards to denounce violations of international law and to call for sanctions against Israel.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been carrying out a campaign of genocide in Gaza, involving mass killings, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, in defiance of international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the violence.

The ongoing assault has resulted in over 226,000 Palestinians killed or injured, the majority of whom are women and children, in addition to more than 9,000 missing persons, hundreds of thousands displaced, and a famine that has claimed many lives, including children. The destruction across the enclave is vast and unprecedented.

Sumud Global Flotilla arrives in Tunisia en route to Gaza

Sunday 7-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

The Sumood (Sumud) Global Flotilla, aimed at breaking the Israeli blockade on Gaza, arrived off the coast of Tunisia on Sunday evening, ahead of its planned departure toward the besieged Palestinian enclave, despite threats from the Israeli occupation.

Satellite tracking platforms confirmed that the Flotilla ships reached Tunisian waters late Sunday, with plans to set sail for Gaza on Thursday.

The Flotilla, consisting of nearly 20 vessels, initially departed from the port of Barcelona, Spain, last Monday. However, severe weather and strong winds forced the ships to temporarily return to port on Sunday. The convoy has since resumed its mission to challenge the Israeli-imposed blockade on Gaza, which has lasted more than 18 years.

The effort is being led by a coalition of groups, including the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the Global Gaza Movement, the Sumud Convoy, and Sumud Nusantara from Malaysia.

The Flotilla carries thousands of activists from 44 countries and is now preparing for its next leg from Tunisia on Thursday.

Participants say they are prepared for a range of possible scenarios during their maritime journey, acknowledging that Israel may attempt to block or disrupt the mission using various means.

However, activists remain resolute, stating that no threat or escalation will deter them from completing their voyage. They emphasize that the Gaza blockade is no longer solely a Palestinian issue but rather a global moral crisis that demands broad humanitarian engagement.

The Sumud Global Flotilla has strongly condemned recent threats made by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir against the participating ships and activists.

In a statement issued Friday, the Flotilla said Ben-Gvir’s remarks were “an attempt to intimidate participants and falsely label them as terrorists,” calling it a blatant violation of international law and the Geneva Conventions.

Mass protests worldwide demand an end to the genocide in Gaza

Sunday 7-September-2025

CAPITALS, (PIC)

Hundreds of thousands took part in mass demonstrations in several European capitals and cities on Saturday in support of Palestine and in condemnation of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, urging their governments to take effective measures to stop it.

In Ireland, popular and political forces organized protests in several cities denouncing Israel’s continued genocide in Gaza. In the capital, Dublin, a mass march set off from the US Embassy toward the Irish Foreign Ministry, where demonstrators demanded the government take strong measures to hold Israel accountable, stressing that mere symbolic recognition of the State of Palestine was not enough.

In Britain, for the 30th time since the start of the war on Gaza, tens of thousands demonstrated in London against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. More than a thousand also rallied in support of the banned Palestine Action movement, which the government has designated a “terrorist organization,” in what was described as one of the largest acts of mass civil disobedience in Britain’s history. Police arrested over 420 protesters on charges related to “supporting terrorism,” according to British authorities.

In Sweden, the capital Stockholm witnessed a massive demonstration calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza. Protesters urged the government to impose tangible punitive measures against Israel, chanting slogans such as “Freedom for Palestine” and “Netanyahu the killer,” condemning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court. Protesters also held banners reading “Children are being killed in Gaza, schools and hospitals are being bombed,” denouncing the Swedish government’s silence over Israel’s widening war. The march ended in front of the Swedish Foreign Ministry.

In Germany, amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza and worsening humanitarian conditions, the capital Berlin saw a solidarity rally in support of the Palestinian people. Demonstrators demanded an end to German support for Israel, the lifting of the siege on Gaza, and the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid. The protest was held under the slogan: “Stop the genocide in Gaza.”

In France, thousands gathered in Paris demanding an immediate end to the genocide and starvation in Gaza. In one of the largest demonstrations France has witnessed, participants urged President Emmanuel Macron to draw lessons from the widespread French solidarity with Gaza. Protesters called on the government to impose sanctions on the Israeli government and to boycott global brands that support Israel. Families with children took part, and some demonstrators carried symbolic sacks of flour on their shoulders to highlight the famine facing Gaza’s population.

In Türkiye, thousands gathered in Istanbul’s Üsküdar Square on the Asian side of the city in support of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which aims to break the blockade on Gaza. Marchers paraded through the streets denouncing Israeli crimes and the starvation of civilians in Gaza, holding banners demanding an end to the war and the prosecution of Israeli leaders.

Backed by the United States, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving 64,368 Palestinians martyred, 162,367 wounded, the majority of them women and children, more than 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine that has already claimed 382 lives, including 135 children.

===============================================================================================================================

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 verbs "abduct" and "kidnap" than the verbs "detain" and "arrest," 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.
