Palestinian Woman Stoned to Death by Illegal Israeli Settlers, Detainee Killed in Prison, Several Injured and Abducted by Israeli Occupation Soldiers

October 13, 2018 

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.

Palestinian Woman Stoned to Death by Illegal Israeli Settlers in the West Bank

October 13, 2018 2:41 AM IMEMC News

A group of the illegal extremist Israeli paramilitary settlers attacked a Palestinian couple south of Nablus, in the northern part of the West Bank, on Friday, killing the woman and severely injuring her husband.

Aisha Mohammed Talal al-Rabi, 47, was riding in a car with her husband near the Za’tara roadblock,  south of Nablus, in the northern part of the West Bank, when a group of Israeli settlers came onto the road and began throwing rocks at their car.

The slain woman was from Bidya town, northwest of Salfit.

The Israeli colonial settlers threw a number of large rocks, breaking the windshield of the car. They then continued to throw rocks, according to local sources, hitting the couple multiple times in the head and upper body.

Aisha died of blunt force trauma to the head, caused by a rock that was thrown at her head by the settlers.

Armed Israeli paramilitary settlers have launched a number of attacks on the  Palestinian civilian population in the Nablus area, with the number of attacks drastically increasing since two Israeli settlers were killed by a Palestinian in the area on Monday.

October 12, 2018 2:15 AM Ali Salam

Palestinian owned vehicles were damaged on Thursday near the intersection of the illegal Israeli Yitzhar settlement, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank. Ma’an News Agency reported that illegal Israeli colonialist settlers threw rocks at Palestinian vehicles, and eyewitnesses said Israeli military checkpoints were erected in many areas of the district of Nablus. There, numerous Palestinians were subjected to extensive searches of their vehicles, and inspection of identification.

The additional checkpoints were supposedly in response to an attack on soldiers at the Huwwara checkpoint earlier on Thursday.

On Wednesday a group of illegal Israeli colonialist settlers invaded the village of Quryout, south of Nablus. The settlers, from a nearby settlement, in the southeastern part of Qaryout, punctured the tires of nine Palestinian cars, and wrote racist graffiti on Palestinian property. Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian official monitoring Israel’s colonialist activities, stated that the settlers fled the village shortly after the incident. According to International law,  all of the Jewish-only settlements built in occupied Palestine are illegal.

In a related incident on Wednesday, illegal Israeli settlers invaded a high school in Urif village, in the southern Nablus district. The illegal colonialist setters threw stones at the students, while they were in class, causing injuries, disruption of classes, and damage to the school. Ghassan Daghlas told Ma’an News Agency that 18 heavily armed settlers were escorted out of the vilage by Israeli military, who protected the settlers, while firing tear-gas bombs and rubber-coated steel bullets at the students.

These attacks caused the disruption of education, injury by tear-gas inhalation, and property damage.
