A national day of mourning in Iraq for the victims of the bombing, which Baghdad held Turkey responsible for

Baghdad - (AFP) - With anger and grief, Iraq mourned the victims of the bombing, which Baghdad held Turkey responsible for, and claimed the lives of nine civilians in a tourist resort in Kurdistan, in an event that would increase tension between the two neighboring countries.


At Erbil airport, the capital of the autonomous Kurdistan region, a military plane was dispatched to transport the bodies of the victims to Baghdad, as seen by an AFP photographer.


The nine coffins were transported by ambulance, including the coffin of a small child, and wrapped in the Iraqi flag and wreaths of roses. Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein and the President of the Region, Nechirvan Barzani, carried the small coffin towards the plane before it took off for Baghdad.


At Baghdad International Airport, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi received the bodies and presented the official funeral ceremony, in the presence of a number of security leaders and officials, and met with the families of the victims, according to an official statement.


Later Thursday, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry summoned the Turkish ambassador, Ali Reza Konay, in Baghdad and handed him a strongly worded protest note "for this heinous crime committed by the Turkish forces."


And the Iraqi Prime Minister declared Thursday a national day of mourning, while escalating popular anger in Iraq over the tragedy that claimed the lives of nine Iraqis and injured 23.


Most of the victims are from the center and south of the country, heading to the mountainous regions of Kurdistan bordering Turkey, to escape the heat.
Iraq accused the Turkish forces of launching the bloody bombing that hit a tourist resort in the Zakho district.


Ankara, for its part, denied responsibility for the attack, accusing the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) of being responsible for it, an organization that Turkey and its Western allies classify as "terrorist" and that has waged an insurgency against it since 1984.


In a modest Baghdad home, Nour had come to offer his condolences on the death of his friend Abbas Alaa and was waiting for the return of the family, who had headed to the airport to retrieve the body of the 24-year-old engineer.


He said, "Abbas got married one week ago and was with his wife in Kurdistan to celebrate their honeymoon. ... It is a shock to his friends and relatives. His first trip was on Tuesday and he was martyred on Wednesday. We cannot believe it."


He continued, "He went to enjoy himself in northern Iraq and returned as a martyr and his wife was injured. This does not happen in any other country. Only in Iraq."
Later, dozens of residents of the neighborhood where Abbas lived buried his body and placed a white bride's suit on his coffin, in the presence of journalists from dozens of media outlets, before he was buried in the city of Najaf in the south of the country.


Ankara, which has established military bases in northern Iraq for 25 years, is launching military operations against the PKK rebels stationed in training camps and rear bases in the region.


Turkish military operations in northern Iraq exacerbate pressure on relations between Ankara and the central government of Iraq in Baghdad, which accuses Turkey of violating its territorial sovereignty, even though the two countries are important trading partners.


Baghdad often summons the Turkish ambassador to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest, but these measures remain most of the time without result.
Dozens of people demonstrated Thursday morning in front of a center for granting entry visas to Turkey, amid strict security measures, demanding the expulsion of the Turkish ambassador from Iraq, according to an AFP photographer.


Patriotic songs were broadcast through loudspeakers, while some demonstrators raised a banner that read, "I am Iraqi. I demand the expulsion of the Turkish ambassador from Iraq."


The German Foreign Ministry condemned the attack, calling for "urgent consideration of the circumstances and responsibility" for the bombing.


In Tehran, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson condemned the attacks and stressed Iran's "firm support for stability and security" in Iraq.


Among the demonstrators, Ali Yassin, 53, told AFP, "Turkey and the Turkish embassy tell them enough is enough," adding, "Peacefulness does not help. Burning the Turkish embassy is our demand after we expel the Turkish ambassador because our government does not respond and is unable."


Similar demonstrations took place on Wednesday night in different parts of the country in front of entry visa centers, such as Kirkuk in the north, Najaf and Karbala, the largest cities in southern Iraq.


The demonstrators burned Turkish flags and trampled them, holding pictures of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan with the words "terrorist" written on them.
These moves often come at the initiative of the Sadrist movement, the movement of the prominent Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr, who enjoys a wide popular base.


On Wednesday night, Baghdad raised the tone by calling for the withdrawal of the Turkish army from its territory. The Iraqi authorities also announced the summoning of its charge d'affaires from Ankara, "and stopping the procedures for sending a new ambassador to Turkey," according to an official statement.


The condemnation came directly from Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, who denounced the "Turkish forces' once again committing a clear and blatant violation of Iraqi sovereignty," while the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, denounced the "Turkish bombing," considering that it "represents a violation of the country's sovereignty and a threat to Iraqi national security."


On its Twitter account, the Turkish embassy offered "condolences to our Iraqi brothers who were martyred at the hands of the PKK terrorist organization."


For its part, the Turkish Foreign Ministry considered that "such attacks" are being carried out by "terrorist organizations," calling in the statement on Iraq "not to issue announcements under the influence of terrorist propaganda."

"Hamas" and the mood of the people

Written by: Mohamed Salama


Hamas is subjected to severe criticism daily, whether in Gaza, the West Bank or abroad, and the reason is its refusal to participate in the recent war on Gaza on the side of Islamic Jihad, and we will not reveal a secret if we say that the people's mood tends to accuse it.


Israeli intelligence reports indicate that the detainee, Tayseer Al-Saadi from Al-Jihad, is the founder of the Palestinian Hezbollah and the armed Nablus Battalion, one of the radical Islamic Jihad elements, and one of the Fatah rebels, most of whom are from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and that Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi is the field commander of the Nablus Battalion, while it is indicated that funding is from Iran, and in the other picture, a popular mood against Hamas and the moderate Fatah in the West Bank.


The duo “Hamas and Jihad” in Gaza are the most influential and control over the Strip, while the Fatah movement is out of the game, and the equation is reversed in the West Bank, since the Jenin armed battalion has effectively become a force parallel to that of the Palestinian Authority, and now the Nablus battalion, which seeks to establish an authority parallel to the Palestinian Authority. Estimates are that the members of the two battalions are in the thousands, and that the people’s mood is rapidly changing against Hamas by accusing it not of treason but of participating in security coordination in the West Bank. What is remarkable here is that the dissidents from Fatah from the Al-Aqsa Brigades lead the resistance, and constitute the main elements in the Nablus and Jenin battalions, and attempts are being made to tarnish the image of this alliance. It comes from religious Salafist elements, some of whom are affiliated with Hamas, and this increases the popular mood calling for resistance and overcoming Hamas and the PA together.


“Hamas” .. its image is not good these days among ordinary people, as the popular mood in the West Bank tends against it, and perhaps this is what Israel wants to perpetuate the complete separation between Gaza and the West Bank, and the continuation of the Israeli army’s operations in Nablus comes to dismantle the cells of the Nablus Battalion before it is formed and imposed A new reality on the ground, as there are (400) prisoners since the beginning of this year, and more than thirty martyrs have been killed during the same period, which means that the security campaign is continuing and that the confrontations in the West Bank are likely to escalate, and that the risk of a third intifada is inevitable.


Hamas, for the first time, is out of people's mood in its dealings with the recent Gaza war and with the armed confrontations in Nablus, and for the first time popular accusations are directed against it. The result is that its attempts to stabilize the calm in Gaza or the West Bank have turned against it. In any case, it is still within the equation of the conflict with Israel, and it has Its accounts are far from the jihad and the Al-Aqsa Brigades, and perhaps if the confrontations continue in the West Bank, it will find itself forced to participate in it in response to the popular mood against the Israeli occupation and the settlers who have confiscated and destroyed Palestinian land.

Paying compensation to settlers.. Adaptation and normalization

Written by: Kaddoura Fares


With or without the occasion, the political, military, and security leaders of the Israeli occupation repeat the saying that they aim through their criminal measures to “raise the cost of the struggle for the Palestinians.” Therefore, vandalism, intentional destruction, confiscation, and theft of money or vehicles become associated with every arrest, not only that, but also We have to occupy from time to time with a new repressive tradition that falls in the same context as the aforementioned declared goal, "raising the cost of the struggle."


Perhaps one of the most dangerous of these measures is forcing the prisoner, through his lawyer, to pay compensation to the settler who was harmed by the work done by the prisoner and to appease him. A financial fine, and thus the prisoner has incurred three material losses, the first of which is the damage to the house, which usually exceeds several thousand shekels, then the compensation that is paid to the affected settler, and sometimes it reaches tens of thousands of shekels, in addition to the fine, which varies from one prisoner to another. In the account of the Ministry of the Occupation Army, therefore, I estimate the size of the sums that are looted from the pockets of the families of the prisoners in the occupied territories, especially Jerusalem, at fifty million shekels annually, and this does not include the damages resulting from the storming of the house and the harm caused to it.


What I referred to is just a small aspect of the consequences of the arrest process and its costs on our families and our families. Perhaps the slogan used by the fascist settlers and their gangs, “Paying the price” is derived from the statements of the official leaders, “Raising the cost of the struggle” within the framework of a role-sharing process that aims primarily at exhausting and despairing the Palestinian people ability to achieve its national goals.


It is very dangerous to look at the procedures, laws, and military orders as an inevitable destiny, and that we have no choice but to accept them and resort to measures to relatively mitigate their impact on us, as this encourages the wrong approach, and opens the occupation’s appetite for more measures, while the occupation preserves for itself the line of return. In many of the measures he takes, since at the beginning they are a test balloon, if things go smoothly, he devotes and organizes them, and if there are obstacles, opposition, and rejection, we soon find him retreating, and there are hundreds of examples of that. If we want to oppose the occupation in a serious sense, we must first and in terms of The principle is that we reject any decisions issued by it, and secondly, we must scrutinize and reflect on their reasons and motives, the parties behind them and the contexts that brought them into existence, then formulate a position and examine the possibilities of strengthening the initial rejection of the occupation measures with action plans, decisions and policies, so that we keep some of the initiative for ourselves and not We turn into complacent recipients of what is imposed on us on the grounds of believing that it is impossible for the occupation to back down from a decision it has taken. This is a wrong rule that we must free from because it is one of the expressions of recognition of the occupation.


Everyone agrees on the golden rule that says that "turning the occupation project into a losing project" is the way that leads to defeating the occupation and expelling it from Palestine, and although this represents an axiom and a postulate and a place of national consensus, the collective behavior on our part as Palestinians does not suggest at all that the rule The aforementioned matters are of interest and application, and therefore we find that the Israeli parties and forces, and given that the occupied territories have come to represent a gigantic economic project for Israel, are striving to perpetuate and root the occupation, and falsely try to give their project fabricated historical and religious meanings, and this is only in order to give legitimacy to the occupation. And mobilizing Israeli public opinion among the common people in favor of this economic project.


Let's go back to the beginning and so that we do not delve deeply into this issue away from the issue that we have dealt with, which is compensation for the settlers, it is not addressed through persuasion and awareness only of its importance, as specific measures must be taken by the competent authorities to cut off some phenomena or reduce them at the very least. The detainee who demands his family and insists on it to pay compensation to the settler and then the fine for the purpose of shortening the period of his detention should have remained in his house. It is not permissible to go out to fight against this occupation and turn overnight into a person who pumps money into the treasury of the occupation, this money that is used in Funding the brutal military operations they carry out, and according to the new tradition, “compensation” also turns into financing for the settlers.


Therefore, I call for the adoption of the following measures to contain and besiege this dangerous phenomenon, which are as follows:


A- Carrying out an awareness campaign and informing citizens of the danger of this approach, which will expand more and more if it is not addressed.
B- Deciding not to adopt the file of any prisoner who concludes a deal that includes compensation under any circumstances, so that his ruling becomes the ruling on arms trade files.
C - Termination of the contract of the lawyer who participates in concluding this type of deal if he is contracting with any official or private body working to support the cause of the prisoners.
D - After clarifying the dimensions and seriousness of the issue of compensation to the Palestinian Bar Association and its promise to take trade union actions against any lawyer who is a member of the bar.


My confidence is high that with awareness and firmness together we can cut off this phenomenon and its promoters as a prelude to moving to deal with other dangerous phenomena that affect the essence of our struggle, this Israeli occupation.

Finland will host trilateral talks with Sweden and Turkey this month

Mikkeli (Finland) - (AFP) - The Finnish Foreign Minister announced Friday that his country will host a tripartite meeting with Sweden and Turkey later this month, after Ankara announced its opposition to the accession of the two northern countries to NATO.


"Representatives of Finland, Sweden and Turkey will meet in Finland in August," Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto told reporters.


The minister did not specify a date for the meeting, but his Turkish counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, had referred to an upcoming tripartite meeting on August 26.


This year Sweden and Finland abandoned their long-standing non-alignment policy and announced that they intended to join NATO after Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in February.


And ratified the United States, along with more than half of the member states in NATO, on the requests to join Sweden and Finland. However, the mechanism for joining the bloc requires the unanimity of member states.


Turkey is the only member that opposes the accession of the two countries, and calls for Helsinki and Stockholm to make concessions before giving its approval to their requests.


Haavisto said the meeting scheduled for this month will be a follow-up to discussions based on a memorandum signed by the three countries in Madrid in June.


In that memorandum, Sweden and Finland agreed to "accelerate" the study of deportation requests submitted by Ankara to recover people suspected of involvement in the 2016 coup attempt or of belonging to banned Kurdish factions.


Last week, Sweden announced the deportation of the first Kurdish citizen under the agreement, but the Turkish Minister of Justice said Thursday that Ankara is calling on Sweden to hand over "terrorists" and not just "ordinary criminals" if it wants to join NATO.

And he indicated that the current dangerous escalation in the implementation of demolitions of facilities and buildings in the Palestinian territories comes as a result of the density of demolition notifications, as the arms of the occupying state, especially with the formation of the extreme right-wing government, seek to enforce the largest possible number of demolitions, in order to besiege Palestinian construction and natural growth. , displacing the Palestinians, and emptying the land, in favor of controlling it, and turning it into the settlement project.


He said that the displacement and deportation measures taken by the occupation authorities, through which the laws in force in the Palestinian territories before 1967, foremost of which was the Cities, Villages and Buildings Regulation Law No. It is imposed on the Palestinians, and a tool for demolition and siege, through demolition notices, stopping construction and deportation, which are necessarily inconsistent with internationally recognized basic rights, most notably the right to housing, ownership of land, its development and the development of human life on it.


Shaaban warned of the plans of the occupying power at the present time, which seeks to intensify the siege and demolish Palestinian construction in order to empty the Palestinian land, specifically with the dangerous slogans declared by the current fascist government.

Will the occupation succeed in "irritating" the consciousness of Jerusalemites?

Written by: Rasem Obeidat
The war waged against the Jerusalemites in order to "kid", "adapt", "melt" and "sweep their consciousness" is not carried out on one level, but rather it includes all levels and in all fields....and the occupation seeks to penetrate the consciousness of Jerusalemites on more than one front Within systematic plans and programs in which all its security services, including the police, army, intelligence, and the Ministry of Interior, participate in the civil services from the municipality, civil and community institutions, community centers, the police, reform committees, tribal committees, etc.. Therefore, hundreds of millions of shekels are allocated for this war, for example the government’s five-year plan 2018 - 2023 for integrating Jerusalemite Arabs into Israeli society and economy. NIS 875 million out of 2 billion shekels were allotted to it only for the familyization of the curriculum and the educational process in Jerusalem. The remainder was distributed to the rest of the sectors such as roads, transportation, etc. Not to mention the allocation of 15 million shekels outside this amount. Annually for community centers, etc.
There is no doubt that the operations of breaching the walls of our "consciousness" fortresses achieved some successes in issues related to education and the curriculum, as well as in terms of progress in the project to Judaize Al-Aqsa Mosque .... Not to mention the occupation's endeavor to strike the national immunity of our people, through penetration operations in cases Normalization and an attempt to transfer it to the popular and institutional level, in addition to the tireless work by the occupation, to create an environment that expels the resistance work to confront the Judaizing projects and plans of the occupation, by spreading the policies of despair and frustration among the ranks of the Jerusalemites, and telling them that you are alone and you will not be able to defeat a state heavily armed and has the most powerful apparatus intelligence in the region.
Within this vision and strategy, the occupier waged a psychological war in order to "destroy" the Jerusalemite citizen, and preoccupy him in a series of crises, by removing him from a crisis and introducing him into a new one... The occupier, who is trying to finish off the city and impose control and sovereignty over it through intensive settlement and Judaization projects, I believe that The opportunity is right for him to “captivate” our people in the city, strip them of the characteristics and signs of their national existence, and erase their national and political rights, while granting them only limited and “legalized” civil rights, and turn them into scattered islands in a wide Israeli environment, by changing the city’s demographic and geographical reality. , isolating it from its Palestinian surroundings, and changing the overall scene in the city, from an authentic Arab, Islamic-Christian scene to an artificial, biblical, Talmudic Jewish scene.
The occupation sought to "Israeli" the educational process in the city through the Israeliization of its educational curricula, and the complete removal of the Palestinian curriculum from the city, and not to suffice only with the "distorted" or modified Palestinian curriculum, but rather a comprehensive and total Israeliization of the curriculum, and the occupier achieved breakthroughs and successes in this aspect, which encouraged him In order to take a step towards achieving his goals and plans, he threatened some private schools "Abrahamia and Al-Iman" with its five branches to withdraw their licenses and grant them restricted licenses, if their curricula were not corrected by omitting what the occupier considered incitement in those books, and what is meant here is omitting all patriotic content in the curriculum. This includes falsifying history, “dwarfing” geography, and omitting the Palestinian novel and narrative.
This step, which was taken by the occupation municipality and its circle of acquaintances, constituted an awakening for the people of Jerusalem with their popular unions from the Union of Principal Affairs Committees, Central Parents Committees, and their institutions and national forces, in order to restore Palestinian awareness, and prevent “K” and its “deviation” and “familiarity.” A series of activities were carried out And protest activities, including the announcement of a comprehensive strike in all educational umbrellas in Jerusalem for a period of one day, on Monday 9/19/2022.
This strike constituted an important stage on the road to restoring Palestinian awareness, and "immunizing" the educational process from penetration, "Israelization", falsification and distortion of awareness.
On the other hand, we found that Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is a purely Islamic mosque, after the closure of the Mughrabi Gate from September 2000 until 2003, and whose keys have been controlled by the occupation police since 1967, has come under direct targeting of Talmudic and Biblical groups, given that Al-Aqsa Mosque, It is the alleged structure, which must be built in place of the Dome of the Rock mosque, and to achieve this goal, this Judaization project was moving and progressing step by step, from individual intrusions to collective intrusions, and from individual prayers to silent collective prayers, and after that public Talmudic prayers, and ritual performance Talmudic and Biblical, including the epic prostration, and after that the incursions to Al-Aqsa intensified, and the Talmudic and Biblical groups sought to evoke the moral structure, by introducing plant offerings to Al-Aqsa from palm fronds, citrus fruits and willow leaves, as well as collectively blowing the trumpet in The courtyards of Al-Aqsa, not only as a biblical Talmudic religious ritual, the blowing of the trumpet is a political act par excellence, symbolizing sovereignty, domination and hegemony, but it is wrapped in the biblical Talmudic religious aspect... and in order to work to create sanctity and Jewish life in Al-Aqsa And tightening security and administrative control over it, and consecrating the temporal and spatial divisions in it, the Talmudic groups threw all their weight and capabilities, supported by a decision and a green light from the political level, in order to mobilize the largest number of extremists in Al-Aqsa squares during the Jewish holidays that extend from September 26 and 27 last, New Year Hebrew and October 5, what is known as Yom Kippur, and the Feast of the Throne, which extends from 10 to 17 / October, employing biblical Talmudic thought, travels, and Talmudic orders in the service of achieving the goal, but all this extremism and this mobilization did not succeed in achieving the goal, by mobilizing 5000 extremists On the second day of the Feast of the Throne, the first even-numbered day immediately after the Sabbath year, and the Sabbath year is the year of “making up” the land for lack of cultivation, and it comes once every seven years… These continuous and continuous incursions are like “rehearsals for” the “adaptation” of the mind The Palestinian, the Arab and the Islamic, and made them look at what the Jewish extremists are doing in terms of abnormal practices and actions, Talmudic and Biblical prayers, rituals of blowing the trumpet, epic prostration, and the introduction of plant offerings to the Al-Aqsa square as something normal and normal.
But the state of steadfastness and reluctance of Jerusalem through the bond and i'tikaaf and the intensification of the presence and presence in Al-Aqsa and confronting these extremists, and the fear of the entity's government that the situation will explode from the gate of Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem, and the outbreak of an open war entitled "Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa may trigger a comprehensive uprising, not only affecting the city of Jerusalem and the entire Palestinian geography, Rather, the situation may develop into a regional war, and for this reason the extremists and behind them the entity state, did not succeed in creating sanctity and Jewish life in Al-Aqsa, nor did they succeed in "ironing" the Jerusalemite consciousness, despite all the rush and official Arab normalization, and they also failed to "ironing" the consciousness Al-Maqdisi, and disassociated himself from the ideology, culture and choice of the resistance. Rather, we witnessed an escalation in the resistance action in the city as a direct and natural response to the crimes, oppression and abuse committed by the occupation against our people, land and people, desecration and incursions against our sanctities, primarily Al-Aqsa... Perhaps what the Shuafat camp witnessed after the operation The quality and daring that a Palestinian youth carried out against the occupation soldiers at the Shuafat checkpoint, on Saturday evening 10/8/2022, which put the entity state out of its phase, prompting it to impose a comprehensive blockade and collective punishments against the residents of Shuafat camp, Anata, Dahiyat al-Salam and Ras Khamis Shehadeh headed sanctions that paralyzed all commercial and economic facilities, transportation and education, and even humanitarian cases of patients with kidneys and chronic diseases were not allowed to go out to medical centers and hospitals, and the accompanying repression, abuse, imposition of violations, raids, searches and arrests... All of this did not lose the support of the population The camp did not break their will, but rather they said that we will defend our existence and our camp, a symbol of our calamity, and we will remain committed to our rights and constants, and our right to return to our land from which we were expelled, and our right of return will not be forfeited by statute of limitations.
It seems that the Palestinian, nearly thirty years after the Oslo catastrophe, is regaining consciousness, and has become fully convinced that this miserable agreement that the occupier abandoned, with nothing left but security coordination and economic dependence, will not lead to the realization of the rights of our Palestinian people, and it will not liberate a land And he will not come to a state, and that is why this people announces a divorce with this approach and the choice and those in charge of it.

Haya's story from chemistry to astronomy

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - Rawan Al-Asaad - Astronomy is not new, and it occupies the minds of a large segment of society, as it can be a craft in which some specialize, and it can be a hobby. It is a science that studies astronomical phenomena and celestial bodies, and uses mathematics Physics and chemistry to explain the origin and development of these phenomena and criminals.

Haya tells Al-Quds.com: I studied at Bir Zeit University, majoring in chemistry, and worked in the teaching profession for four years, but circumstances dictated that I stop working, but “a beneficial harmful Lord.” This time made me chase the passion within me for science. Astronomy and the phenomena in it, what are the foundations upon which it is based, and how is it possible to extract predictions, and this passion was increasing day by day, and I decided to dive into this science more, and from here I began to peruse, read, and search for books and references on everything related to it, but unfortunately there are no Many references are in Arabic, and being a curious person who constantly follows the subject of horoscopes, I was very surprised why I did not find a match between what was said about my horoscope and what was happening.

And she adds: At first, I had doubts and lack of knowledge of astronomy and constellations, until I once listened to the Syrian astronomer Abdullah Al-Halabi, who said, "The expectations are based on the horoscope, and each of us has an astronomical map according to the hour of birth to know his own horoscope, and from here I started." I searched and delved into reading, and found my astronomical map, but it was algorithms for me, I could not understand anything from it, which increased my insistence on studying, researching and learning to understand everything in it and analyze its symbols, but for the lack of Arabic references I went to the English references, and renewed that the Indians are Most of those who are interested in this science, to the extent that their lives depend on it greatly, for example, divorce cases in India are few, and this is due to the fact that they analyze their astrological maps and compatibility before marriage, and they are more interested in this science than the Europeans, which increased my curiosity more, and here I seriously began studying to read more I search more and follow up on the web through videos, books, articles, buy a lot of books, take notes and study them, as if I have an exam.

Haya continues: I am still learning in this field, as the science in it is vast and inexhaustible. I focused on Indian astrology because it is very deep and enters karma and previous lives. Here I had many questions about how to divide livelihoods and others, and I found the answers with astronomy.
After studying and learning extensively and for many hours, I became ready to start, and I am still in the stage of studying and going deeper, as it is a science that needs study and development, and I started reaping the fruits of my toil.

As for expectations, she says: Expectations in general do not apply to everyone, each of us has his own astronomical map that is different from the other, and this map consists of 12 constellations, and each constellation or house has certain indications in it, and the entry of the planets into any house leaves a certain effect, and so on. Build predictions, as well as according to the annual horoscope in which it depends on the degree of the sun according to the Earth’s rotation around it, which constitutes a different horoscope.

And she adds: As for the general expectations, it depends on the movement of the planets, especially the large ones that are characterized by their slow movement, such as Saturn, which remains two and a half years in each sign, and Jupiter, which remains a full year in each sign, in addition to my reliance on the lunar nodes "shadow of the moon." Which changes every year and a half and moves towards the opposite of the rest of the planets, and on this basis I build expectations. As for the rest of the planets, I walk with them on a monthly basis because they move quickly.

And she continues: At first, I did not find support from many people and those around me, and some may have fought me and moved away from me, but I did not care about who was against me, and I did not care about negative comments and not accepting what I study and do from analyzing people’s astronomical maps, except that my family supported me and I continued What I do, and perhaps being a teacher and a teaching profession, this is what helped me to use my method of teaching in a way in which I explain the analysis based on scientific foundations so that I can communicate information to people clearly and in detail to convince them of this science and its effects, and what helped me more in the beginning when I analyzed their maps for celebrities on social media Astronomical people began to deal with me more, especially since I rely on the horoscope and the analysis of the astronomical map, which is not well known in Palestine. I do not build predictions on the solar sign, because the sun stays 30 days in the sign, but the ascendant sign is more important for those who know the date of his birth, as well as the lunar one. More important than the solar for people who do not know the hour of their birth.

And Kameleh talks about the analysis of astrological maps, saying: Its aim is a psychological and spiritual analysis for a person to know where his strengths and weaknesses are, and their effects on his life, so he understands himself more and accepts them in order to develop and achieve what he wants. Therefore, astronomy is fundamental, deep and unfinished> Since my beginnings in 2018, however, The real change was in 2020, and the qualitative shift coincided with the end of the year. I went through a qualitative shift in awareness after going through an experience that helped me a lot to know my weaknesses, and therefore the more I know myself, the more I know the astronomy because it describes the human soul and his soul.

And she added: Every planet has a specific significance, for example Venus with money, entitlement, and our value towards ourselves and things, Jupiter has a signification of wisdom and intelligence, Mercury is the ruler of communication, Saturn is associated with restrictions, delays and difficulties, and each person has his own astronomical map that is unique to others, and it is his fingerprint, to help him develop, understand and know his components. This is done by purifying the negative feelings inside me and getting rid of selfishness. When I wish for others what I wish for myself, here my entitlement becomes high and I get what I wish for.

And she recited: The astrological map puts a person under the status quo. Know who you are from the inside, to understand the causes of the difficulties you face and solve them. Unfortunately, most people misunderstand astrology as the movement of planets only, but the issue is very deep. life .
And I gave one last piece of advice to everyone: Focus on yourself, you are a unique and distinguished person compared to others, strive to develop yourself and be open to all sciences and cultures. And stop judging others, and learn to say no when you want, the more you accept yourself, others will accept you.
