"وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا" (النِّسَاءُ ، 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.

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.

Looters kill two aid security personnel in Gaza refugee camp

Thursday 19-December-2024

GAZA, (PIC)

Two members of the aid security personnel were martyred due to direct gunfire from a group of thieves and highway robbers at the entrance of Al-Nusayrat refugee camp in central Gaza on Wednesday.

According to local sources, the looters attacked some of the aid trucks that were being secured by security personnel, resulting in the martyrdom of the young men Ismail Al-Batneeji and Ibraheem Al-'Arabid, and the injury of several other members of the aid security forces.

Throughout the months of war, aid trucks have been targeted by individuals and gangs, depriving hundreds of thousands of the food supplies, coinciding with rising prices of goods in the markets. This exacerbates their living conditions amid increasing warnings of a severe famine spreading in northern Gaza and extending to densely populated southern areas with around 2 million displaced people.

The Palestinian Government Media Office (PGMO) in Gaza condemned on Wednesday evening the repeated attacks against humanitarian aid security personnel in the Strip.

The PGMO emphasized in its statement the necessity of a firm stance from international organizations and the world to stop these violations. Throughout the bloody months of war, the Israeli occupation army has deliberately contributed to systematically spreading chaos and disorder by targeting police forces and their headquarters, as well as those distributing aid from the popular committees formed from all segments of society.

Israeli occupation forces kidnap several Palestinians from the West Bank

RAMALLAH, December 19, 2024 (WAFA) –

Israeli occupation forces have kidnapped at least 14 Palestinians from various areas of the West Bank since yesterday evening, continuing their ongoing crackdown on the local population.

According to the Palestinian Authority's Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner's Society, the detention operations among the governorates of Nablus, Al-Khaleel (Hebron), Jineen, Toulkarm and Ramallah.

Among the detainees was a woman from Gaza who was in the West Bank for treatment, in addition to children and former detainees. 

The raids were accompanied by assaults, threats against detainees and their families, and widespread destruction of property, including damage to homes.

This latest wave of detentions is part of Israel's broader campaign of suppression that has escalated sharply since the beginning of its ongoing genocidal onslaught on Gaza in October 2023. Since then, over 12,100 Palestinians have been detained from the West Bank and Jerusalem, according to local authorities.

The systematic nature of these detentions is a key component of Israeli policy, with large-scale detentions being carried out as part of the ongoing military attacks.  

It is important to note that the figures provided here refer only to detentions made in the West Bank, not including Gaza, where the number of detentions is also significant.

Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls on international community to deal with Israeli report on occupation soldiers' confessions

RAMALLAH, December 19, 2024 (WAFA) –

The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates called on the international community, countries, institutions, United Nations organizations and international courts to deal with the utmost seriousness with the investigation conducted by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz regarding the confessions of Israeli occupation officers and soldiers to shooting in cold blood at Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.

It indicated in a statement today that the investigation sheds light on the soldiers' filming of slain Palestinians and leaving their bodies on the ground for dogs to devour and other crimes that are shameful to humanity, including the use of starvation and thirst as methods of war, which confirms that targeting civilians is deliberate and intentional by the occupation.

The Ministry stressed that the investigation has once again proven the credibility of the decisions of the International Criminal Court and the International Justice regarding the Israeli government's dehumanization of Palestinian civilians and the systematic and deliberate commission of genocide.

It called for serious and real international action and giving absolute priority to an immediate cessation of fire and the war of extermination to protect citizens and secure their full civil and human rights as stated in international humanitarian law.

Israel prevents entry of medical delegations and supplies to Gaza hospital

GAZA, December 19, 2024 (WAFA) –

Medical sources said that the Israeli occupation is currently preventing the entry of any medical delegations or supplies to the Kamal 'Udwan Hospital in the town of Bait Lahya, north of the Gaza Strip.

The sources indicated that the hospital is suffering from a shortage of water, oxygen and electricity, and the occupation continues to drop bombs on the hospital, as explosions can be heard in its courtyards and at the gates.

Since last night, several explosions have occurred and nearby buildings have been destroyed, with shrapnel flying towards the hospital.

The sources confirmed that the hospital is in dire need of repairs related to water and oxygen supplies, but Israel is still preventing the entry of any necessary resources to support the health system.

They indicated that the hospital lacks the necessary specialties to treat most of the injuries, which have reached 85, including 10 cases that need urgent surgical interventions.

They added that the intensive care unit in the hospital, which was severely damaged by a fire that broke out two days ago due to direct shelling, has undergone some repairs, however, there is still a problem with the electrical network, and additional supplies are needed to restore the department, as it is the only one that provides intensive care services for children and adults in northern Gaza.

The medical sources appealed to the international community to open a humanitarian corridor and allow the entry of medical supplies, equipment and first aid, and to provide international protection for the health system in northern Gaza.

Doctors Without Borders says Gaza's health situation is 'sharply deteriorating'

GENEVA, December 19, 2024 (WAFA) –

A report by Doctors Without Borders, entitled "Gaza: Living in a Death Trap", revealed a sharp deterioration in the health situation in the Gaza Strip as a result of the ongoing Israeli military attacks and the suffocating blockade.

The report indicated that the health care system in Gaza is suffering from complete destruction, with less than half of Gaza's 36 hospitals operating partially.

It added that Doctors Without Borders staff were subjected to 41 attacks during the past year, including airstrikes, which made providing health care extremely difficult.

It pointed out that the health facilities supported by the organization conducted no less than 27,500 consultations related to violence, and 7,500 surgical interventions, reflecting a significant increase in injuries and diseases, stressing that the occupation forced about 1.9 million people from the residents of northern Gaza to migrate, which led to the exacerbation of health conditions, as many live in unsanitary environments that facilitate the spread of diseases. He touched on the suffering of children and the lack of necessary vaccinations, which increases the risk of diseases such as measles and polio, stressing that an increase in malnutrition cases has been observed among the population.

The organization called for an immediate ceasefire, facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid and ensuring the rights of Palestinians to obtain health care, warning that the continuation of the current situation will lead to long-term effects on public health in Gaza, where those injured will need years of rehabilitation care.

The report stressed that the health situation in Gaza requires urgent action from the international community to ensure the provision of the necessary support and care to save lives.

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

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.
