"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).

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.

Israeli offensive on Jineen enters seventh month amid widespread destruction, mass displacement

Jineen, September 1, 2025 (WAFA) – 

The Israeli occupation's aggression on the city of Jineen and its camp has entered its seventh month, amid widespread destruction of infrastructure and homes, and the displacement of thousands of Palestinians from their homes.

Basheer Mataheen, the director of public relations at the Jenin Municipality, told WAFA that the occupation has completely destroyed more than 600 homes since the start of its raid on the camp, and partially demolished nearly 1,000 housing units, displacing approximately 22,000 residents.

He added that the occupation army, which is permanently present in the Jenin camp, prevents any entry or exit, making it difficult for the municipality and its crews to accurately assess the damage.

He added, "From our observations of the camp, we realize that the occupation has completely changed the map of the camp, as several landmarks have been removed, in addition to the construction of numerous roads and streets within it."

He emphasized that the ongoing aggression is exacerbating the crisis of the displaced, in addition to the worsening of the capacity of students from Jenin camp to accommodate the displaced in schools close to their displacement sites.

He said, "We will witness overcrowding among students in several schools close to the locations where the displaced are located, especially since the occupation has closed eight schools in and around the camp."

Jineen Municipality estimates its direct losses at approximately $400 million, and indirect losses are worsening and increasing daily due to the ongoing economic crisis in the city, which began three years ago with the continued occupation incursions.

The number of incursions reached 62 before the latest aggression, which directly impacted commercial activity, causing the closure of several shops and the failure of many projects in Jenin.

According to the mills, a deep recession has hit the city's markets due to the closure of the Jalama crossing and the presence of the occupation army. On a daily basis, in addition to the destruction of the city's main streets, which connect the commercial district to the villages to the west and south.

He confirmed that the Jineen Municipality began three months ago a process of rehabilitating the city's streets with full support from the Palestinian government. The rehabilitation of Nazareth Street, Haifa Street, and Nablus Street was undertaken to facilitate the movement of citizens to and from the city and to attempt to revive the commercial market.

He added that the municipality is working to rehabilitate the damaged neighborhoods in the city, especially the eastern neighborhood, specifically Madaris Street, which has been destroyed by Israeli bulldozers more than once.

Since the start of the aggression on the city and camp on January 21, 2020, 40 people have been killed, in addition to dozens injured and detained.

They also carried banners in support of the Palestinian people, their struggle against the occupation, and their steadfastness on their land.

Other banners condemned the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli policy of ethnic cleansing, the use of blockade and starvation as weapons against civilians, the ongoing aggression against the West Bank, including Al-Quds (occupied Jerusalem), the policy of settlement expansion, and settler aggression against Palestinians.

The demonstrators demanded an end to the massacres, holding Israel accountable for its crimes, and prosecuting its leaders before international courts.

They also affirmed their categorical rejection of the potential visit of the Israeli Prime Minister to Argentina, emphasizing the need to arrest him immediately upon his entry into Argentine territory, in implementation of the international arrest warrants issued against him.

To highlight the magnitude of the human tragedy, the demonstrators held up pictures of slain civilians and journalists targeted by the occupation forces, as well as dolls wrapped in blood-stained shrouds, representing the slain children killed in cold blood by Israel daily.

The march reflected broad unity among civil society organizations, including trade unions, student unions, and cultural unions, Arab and Jewish anti-Zionist organizations, as well as leftist political parties and human rights organizations.

Representatives of the Federation of Argentine Palestinian Entities, the Palestinian community, and unionists and parliamentarians from various progressive forces also delivered speeches expressing their solidarity with the Palestinian people and their rejection of genocide, occupation, and the policy of annexation in the West Bank and Jerusalem, as well as the fragmentation of the West Bank, aimed at killing the chances of peace and the two-state solution.

They called for the freedom of the Palestinian people and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

This demonstration coincided with similar events in several Argentine cities, including Córdoba, Rosario, Santa Fe, Salta, Mar del Plata, Neuquén, and Ushuaia, as part of a wave of national Argentine solidarity with the Palestinian cause and rejection of the Israeli occupation and annexation of the West Bank.

Launch of int’l media campaign demanding protection for Gaza journalists, accountability for Israel

Monday 1-September-2025

GAZA, (PIC)

Hundreds of media outlets from 50 countries launched on Monday a campaign denouncing Israel’s killing of Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip and demanding that it be held accountable for its crimes.

The Government Media Office in Gaza announced on Sunday that the death toll of journalist martyrs since October 7, 2023, has risen to 247, following the killing of journalist Islam Abed in an Israeli strike on Gaza City.

The media campaign was initiated by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Avaaz, which placed a black banner on the homepage of their websites.

Among the media outlets participating in the campaign are: L’Humanité (France), Die Tageszeitung (Germany), La Libre (Belgium), Público (Portugal), The Independent (UK), L’Orient-Le Jour (Lebanon), and The Intercept (US investigative media organization).

Newspapers including L’Humanité, Público, and La Libre published a front-page message on a black background saying, “At the rate at which the Israeli army is killing journalists in Gaza, soon no one will remain to report on what is happening.”

In a statement Monday, RSF said, “Thanks to the Avaaz campaign platform and Reporters Without Borders, hundreds of media outlets are participating in a campaign calling for the protection of Palestinian journalists in Gaza.”

It added, “Today, hundreds of media outlets in more than 50 countries are uniting in solidarity with Palestinian journalists in Gaza, joining efforts with RSF and Avaaz.”

According to the organization, the campaign “includes full or partial blackouts of front pages in print media, banners on online news platforms, as well as audio messages on radio and visual messages on television stations.”

Israel routinely denies deliberately targeting journalists or claims that some of them belong to Hamas.

RSF called on the participating media to demand three things:

1. Protect Palestinian journalists and end the policy of impunity for crimes committed by the Israeli army against them in Gaza. 2. Grant foreign media independent access to Gaza. 3. Call on governments worldwide to host Palestinian journalists who wish to leave Gaza.

It continued, “Coinciding with the opening of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in eight days, we demand strong action from the international community and urge the Security Council to stop the Israeli army’s crimes against Palestinian journalists.”

With US backing, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, ignoring all international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. This genocide has resulted in 63,557 Palestinians killed, 160,660 injured (mostly children and women), over 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and famine that has killed 348 people, including 127 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.
