The war of 1967 AD, known as the “June setback” for the Arab nation, or what is called the “Six Day War” for the Israelis, is a war, attack, and severe military clashes that took place between the occupying power and each of: Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. In the period between the fifth of June and the tenth of it in the year 1967 AD; As a result, Israel occupied the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights.
The sweeping Israeli aggression or this offensive war by the occupation resulted in the issuance of Security Council Resolution No. 242, the convening of the Arab Three No’s Summit in Khartoum, the displacement of most of the residents of the Suez Canal cities in Egypt, as well as the displacement of most of the residents of Quneitra Governorate in Syria, and the displacement of tens of thousands of people The Palestinian people from the West Bank, erasing entire villages, and opening the door to settlement/colonialism in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Politically, the painful setback awakened and shook the Arab conscience, and alerted the national feeling to the danger that now threatens the entire Arab and Islamic nation. This was reflected in the Arab movement, which took practical directions for what was called removing the effects of the setback, supporting positions of steadfastness, supporting the Palestinian revolution up and down, and relying on the efforts of the Arab nation, until the victory of the entire nation was achieved in the glorious October/Ramadan war of 1973 AD.
In the other fact that clearly shows that the setback in 1967 AD was one of the most important reasons for the establishment of the revolution and the heroic Palestinian resistance led by the Palestinian Liberation Movement - Fatah, with whom President Gamal Abdel Nasser met at the end of 1967 after he was prevented from meeting. In this historic meeting, Nasser called for setting fires in the region. Yasser Arafat said to him, “Rather, I will ignite a revolution.” This is what happened when the immortal leader Yasser Arafat and his heroic companions entered Palestine and ignited the Palestinian revolution and resistance, which became the true savior of the Arab nation from a state of despair, despair, and brokenness.
On the other hand, as the Palestinian Information Center states: The form, method, and goal of the Zionist aggression revealed to the whole world the Israeli and Western allegations that were begging for international sympathy, and obtaining its support, by claiming that Israel is weak in front of the Arabs who threaten it; What won the Arabs international sympathy helped them later isolate Israel globally, and had a major role in changing the strategic bases of the two sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

But militarily: the Arab forces suffered very heavy losses in the June aggression by forces and means, but that, on the other hand, and as a result of the bitterness of the setback, prompted the people of the Arab nation, its governments, and its armed forces to work tirelessly in order to rebuild combat capacity and readiness, just as the Palestinian revolution, with its operations that exceeded thousands, paved the way For the victory of the Ramadan war.
We remember the June 1967 war to know that the path is long, and that the issue of the refugees and the displaced is one, and with their return hope is fulfilled. There is no separation between the refugees from 1948 and 1967 AD. Both of them must return to their country, Palestine. On the anniversary of the Nakba, despite the bitterness, the revolution was the real savior and the great lever of the nation, which is what We need the same today, and with different circumstances, as we see the dispersion of the entire Arab nation between axes and groups, between impatience and whims, and economic and authoritarian interests, and between fascination with the West and submission to the Israeli, which makes hope pinned to the forelocks of the horses of the entire nation and the Arab peoples, whose time has come for them to wake up from their long slumber while they follow The West is blindly humiliated.
As for our internal level, the time has come for the Palestinian Arab to wake up and understand that his steadfastness on his land and his unity is his ultimate weapon, and that his joint struggle program is his lifeline. Neither Eastern nor Western, but Arab and independent Palestinian hands that mobilize the nation so that Palestine can raise its flag on the mosques, churches and walls of Jerusalem, as the immortal martyr Yasser Arafat, may God have mercy on him, used to repeat with all the prophets, saints and martyrs.

Paris - (AFP) - The granddaughter of the famous painter Pablo Picasso, Diana Widmeier Picasso, considers the unprecedented exhibition dedicated to her mother Maya, the first daughter of the icon of modern art, which is hosted by the Picasso Museum in Paris until the end of December, as a "diving". Really intimacy.

The exhibition constitutes an unprecedented journey into Picasso's family world, as it includes in its first pavilion about ten colored paintings by Maya, small, among them "Maya with a doll" (1938), "Maya with a doll and a horse" (1938) and "Maya in a sailor's uniform" (1938). ) and "Maya in a Boat" (1938) and "Maya in the Apron" (1938).

The painter's granddaughter, the curator of the exhibition along with a specialist in Picasso's work, Emilia Filippo, points out that "it is the first time that the paintings completed between 1938 and 1939 and spread throughout the world are collected."

After seeing these paintings that open the exhibition, visitors watch a short film that introduces them to the heart of family life that Picasso was keen to protect.
Highlighted in the exhibition is Picasso's attachment to his first child, who was born on September 5, 1935. Her birth was kept secret, as it was the result of the painter's relationship with Marie-Therese Walter, who is 28 years his junior.
And the name Maya is actually the way little Maria used to pronounce her name, which Picasso chose for her after his sister, who died when he was fourteen.
Diana says Maria "has been her father's best friend and best friend all her life, and the only person with access to his private studio" at any time of the day or night.
Through exhibits about Picasso's vacations with his daughter in the south and their going swimming or attending bullfights, the exhibition shows how Maya became an outstanding assistant to her father at the age of twenty during the 1955 film "The Picasso Mystery" by Henri-Georges Clouzot, which won the Jury Prize at Cannes a year later.
Diana points out that a number of drawings, paintings, poems, sculptures, and pictures that bring the painter together with his daughter are testament to this "relationship" and show the strong bond that brought Picasso together with his "family (...) that is atypical for that era, not for the painter." She asserts that Picasso was a "modern man" and a "loving father".
Diana speaks of her grandmother's "coded presence" in many of the paintings because Picasso was "still married to Olga [Khokhlova] when he met her".
It also deals with the "changes" that Picasso faced "after meeting Dora Maar, which destabilized the family relationship."

Picasso was very caring for his four children: the eldest Paolo from his relationship with Olga Khokhlova, and Maya. and Claude and Paloma, born of his relationship with Françoise Guillot.
The exhibition includes a series of drawings prepared by the artist for Maya and with her, when she was four years old in Royan during the first year of World War II in 1939, including, for example, coloring books to which Picasso added characters, and still life drawings that Maya evaluated as "10 out of 20". silhouettes of small animals and a stage for cut-out paper puppets, as well as wooden puppets.
Letters, intimate items, clothes and deeply personal objects are in a final section of the exhibition, says Diana Widmeier Picasso, likening the exhibits to a "family archeology" that reveals a little-known side of Picasso: his superstitious influence and his relationship to death and the unseen world.
He even “kept clipped hair and nails to protect them from bad guys,” adds the young woman, who recently published a book on the subject entitled “Magic Picasso” (about Gallimard), co-written with her by anthropologist Philippe Charlier.

رام الله- “القدس”دوت كوم- قدر البنك الدولي، في تقرير كشف عنه، الثلاثاء، الخسائر المباشرة في قطاع غزة جراء العدوان الإسرائيلي الأخير بنحو 570 مليون دولار.

وقال البنك الدولي، في تقريره الذي عرضه خلال اجتماع افتراضي للجنة تنسيق المساعدات الدولية للشعب الفلسطيني برئاسة النرويج، “إن التعافي السريع في قطاع غزة يحتاج إلى 485 مليون دولار على الأقل”.

وأُعد التقرير بالشراكة مع الأمم المتحدة والاتحاد الأوروبي، وبتعاون وثيق مع السلطة الوطنية الفلسطينية، والمجتمع المدني والقطاع الخاص في غزة.

وقال البنك الدولي: “إن القطاعات الاجتماعية كانت الأكثر (140-180 مليون دولار)، ويمثل قطاع الإسكان وحده حوالي 93% من إجمالي الأضرار التي لحقت بالقطاعات الاجتماعية”.

أما القطاعان الآخران الأكثر تضرراً، فهما القطاعان الإنتاجي والمالي، حيث تأتي الزراعة والخدمات والتجارة والصناعة في المقدمة.

كما أسفر العدوان، بحسب البنك الدولي، عن خسائر اقتصادية، من حيث توقف التدفقات الاقتصادية والإنتاج والخدمات، بما تتراوح بين 105 و190 مليون دولار.

وقال البنك الدولي: “مرة أخرى، كانت القطاعات الاجتماعية هي الأكثر تضرراً، حيث تسبب ارتفاع تكلفة الصحة والحماية الاجتماعية، ناهيك عن البطالة، في حوالي 87% من الخسائر”.

وأضاف التقرير: “الاحتياجات التي يتطلبها تحقيق التعافي خلال أول 24 شهراً تصل إلى 485 مليون دولار”.

ولفت إلى أن “التقديرات التي يحملها هذا التقييم السريع للأضرار والاحتياجات هي تقديرات أولية، لكنها حيوية لتحديد التدخلات ذات الأولوية”.

وقال المدير والممثل المقيم للبنك الدولي في فلسطين كانثان شانكار، في بيان، “هذه حلقة مؤسفة أخرى عانى فيها الفلسطينيون في غزة الصراع والدمار، كما أن الأزمة الإنسانية قد تفاقمت في ظل اقتصاد تواصله بالعالم الخارجي محدود للغاية”.

وأضاف، “إن الناتج المحلي الإجمالي لغزة انكمش بنسبة 0.3% في النصف الأول من العام الحالي، مقارنة بمعدل نمو سنوي حوالي 2.5 قبل العدوان”.

وأعرب المسؤول الدولي عن أمله “في حشد دعم المانحين لإعادة إحلال ظروف معيشية وسبل كسب رزق مأمونة لسكان غزة، وتمهيد الطريق نحو التعافي”.

وبحسب تقرير البنك الدولي، تشمل احتياجات التعافي العاجلة تقديم مساعدة نقدية لحوالي 45 ألف شخص، وتوفير 20 ألف فرصة عمل إضافية بدوام كامل لمدة 12 شهراً، وإعطاء الأولوية لإسكان أكثر من 4000 شخص تعرضت مساكنهم للتدمير أو لأضرار جزئية، كانت تؤوي نحو 7000 طفل لدى الأسر التي فقدت تلك المساكن.

وقال البنك الدولي: “إنه والأمم المتحدة والاتحاد الأوروبي ملتزمون بتقديم الدعم الحيوي للشعب الفلسطيني، وضمان تعاف سريع يمكن التعويل عليه”.

وتابع: “التعافي السريع على المدى القصير يعتمد على الدعم المالي، بما في ذلك دعم الجهات المانحة، فضلاً عن تعاون إسرائيل للتعجيل بالوصول إلى المواد والمعدات المخصصة للأغراض المدنية”.

ويوصي التقرير بتلبية الاحتياجات الفورية والمستقبلية، مثل إصلاح مرافق البنية التحتية التي تتسم بالشمول والكفاءة في استخدام الطاقة والاستدامة البيئيةً، فضلاً عن اعتماد ما يلزم من تدابير لتوفير ضمانات اجتماعية أقوى وتنفيذ إصلاحات سياساتية محددة الأهداف.

وقال البنك الدولي: “إن العدوان على قطاع غزة الذي استمر أحد عشر يوماً في شهر مايو/أيار 2021، أسفر عن مقتل أكثر من 260 شخصاً، بينهم 66 طفلاً و41 امرأة، وتفاقمت الخسائر البشرية بسبب الأضرار والخسائر الإجمالية التي لحقت بالقطاعات الاجتماعية والإنتاجية والمالية ومرافق البنية التحتية”.

وقال منسق الأمم المتحدة الخاص لعملية السلام في الشرق الأوسط، تور فينيسلاند: “إن وقف الأعمال العدائية الذي تم التوصل إليه، ظل قائماً إلى حد كبير، لكنه لا يزال هشاً”.

وأكد أن الأمم المتحدة “تبذل كل ما في وسعها لتلبية الاحتياجات الأكثر إلحاحاً التي من شأنها أن تسمح للفلسطينيين في غزة ببدء التعافي في أسرع وقت ممكن”.

وأضاف، “يعتبر هذا التقييم السريع للأضرار والاحتياجات خطوة هامة في تلك العملية، وأناشد المجتمع الدولي التعاون في دعم هذه الجهود”.

وعلق ممثل الاتحاد الأوروبي في فلسطين سفين كون فون بورغسدورف على التقرير بالقول: “تذكرنا الخسائر في صفوف المدنيين والأثر الاجتماعي والاقتصادي المدمر لهذه الجولة من الأعمال العدائية مرة أخرى بأنه يجب علينا أن نعالج الأسباب الجذرية للصراع”.

وأضاف: “يجب أن تدعم إعادة بناء غزة عمليةُ سلام هادفة تجلب الأمن والكرامة للجميع”.

وقال بورغسدورف: “بينما نقر بأهمية التقييم السريع للأضرار والاحتياجات، فإن استدامة إعادة البناء تعتمد إلى حد كبير على تقدم العملية السياسية”.

BEIJING - (AFP) - Chinese state television has removed close-ups of videos showing fans at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar without masks, after earlier coverage sparked outrage in China, where demonstrations have erupted over harsh restrictions to combat the spread of COVID-19.

China is the last major economy still trying to stamp out the local spread of COVID-19 through sudden lockdowns, long quarantines and large-scale COVID-19 testing campaigns.

During a live broadcast of Sunday's match between Japan and Costa Rica, CCTV Sports replaced close-ups of maskless fans waving flags with shots of players, officials or the stadium, AFP noted.

CCTV Sports broadcast distant shots of the crowd where it was difficult to identify faces, and fewer group shots than live broadcasts of the same match on online platforms including Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.

And tens of millions of people in major cities, including Beijing, Guangzhou and Chongqing, are subject to a kind of general closure, starting from Sunday, in contrast to what is witnessed in the World Cup stadiums in Qatar, which angered many users of social networks in China.

On Tuesday, an open letter asking whether China was "on the same planet" as Qatar circulated on messaging app WeChat before censors removed it.

Hundreds demonstrated in Beijing and Shanghai on Sunday to protest against China's zero Covid policy, in a rare expression of public anger at the country.

The Israeli Knesset approved, on Tuesday morning, a bill to abolish the “separation/withdrawal” law, or what is known as “disengagement,” from settlements in the northern West Bank .

According to the Hebrew site Ynet, it was the approval of the draft law, in the first reading, with the support of a majority of 40 members compared to 17 opponents.

The bill provides for lifting the ban imposed on settlers entering and remaining in the evacuated northern West Bank settlement areas.

This means allowing settlers to return to some of the evacuated settlements, as well as outposts that were evacuated recently, including the Homesh outpost, and allowing them to stay in the yeshiva there.

The new draft law does not apply to settlements evacuated from the Gaza Strip in 2005.

Hebron - "Jerusalem" dot com - Today, Monday, Israeli military vehicles bulldozed citizens' lands east of Yatta, south of Hebron, in favor of settlement expansion.

According to local sources, these Israeli vehicles bulldozed lands belonging to the Abu Zahra family, and began digging operations in the Al-Ain Al-Bayda area, with the aim of establishing a new settlement outpost.

The sources pointed out that these excavations and bulldozers are close to the citizens' residence in the Jawaya area, and the occupation seeks, through these provocative actions, to seize the land and prevent its owners from accessing it.

The Israeli occupation bulldozers also demolished an under-construction house in Umm Lasfa area, east of Yatta.

Local sources reported that the house belongs to Mohammed Hassan Daoud, and its area is 150 square meters, under the pretext of building without a permit, at a time when the occupation does not grant building permits in the area with the aim of settlement expansion at the expense of citizens’ lands.

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Revolutionary Council of the Fatah movement will convene next Wednesday to discuss many of the movement's internal and external files on the Palestinian arena.

Majed Al-Fityani, Secretary of the Council, said in statements to the "Voice of Palestine" radio station, that there are many issues that will be discussed at the level of the Palestinian national situation, and Al-Fatah in particular.

He pointed out that the meeting comes as a continuation of the permanent consultative sessions of the Revolutionary Council to follow up on various files.

He pointed out that there might be a full new session of the Fatah Revolutionary Council early next month.

Moscow - (AFP) - The Russian giant Gazprom announced on Tuesday that it had given the go-ahead to conduct tests at the site of the Kovykta gas field in Siberia, which is supposed to increase in the coming months the Russian gas export capacity to China in light of the war in Ukraine.

"(This is) an important step in the implementation of the Spiria power project and the establishment of new gas production centers in the east of the country," said the company's president, Alexei Miller, in a press statement.

Miller described the Kovkyta gas field as a "vital resource base" for "development of gas supplies to Russia's eastern regions" as well as for "export", particularly to China and South Korea.

The start of tests from the gas field near Lake Baikal in Siberia is a prerequisite for the gas to be transported to the Power of Siberia 1 gas pipeline that since the end of 2019 connects the Qiandina field (in Yakutia) with northeastern China.

The announcement comes at a time when Russian gas shipments to Europe have fallen sharply in recent months on the back of the geopolitical crisis stemming from the war in Ukraine.

In the statement, Miller said that the connection of the Kovikta field to Power of Siberia 1, expected in the next few months, "will give a boost ... and increase the supply of foreign consumers." It is supposed to allow a significant increase in shipments of Russian gas to China in the coming years.

In mid-September, Russian Deputy Prime Minister in charge of energy Alexander Novak indicated that Gazprom would increase its shipments to 20 billion cubic meters of gas each year, mainly by drawing on the reserves of the Kovikta field.

In 2025, when it reaches its maximum capacity, the Siberia Power Line 1 will produce about 61 billion cubic meters annually, more than Nord Stream, which can transport 55 billion cubic meters but has been closed since the beginning of September in Europe and had leaks at the end of September September, its circumstances were not clear.

Russia also plans to build Force Siberia 2 from 2024 to supply China via Mongolia, another sign that Russia's energy strategy has already turned east.

Ramallah - "Al-Quds" dot com - Cairo Amman Bank provided support to the Palestinian kickboxing team, to participate in the Kickboxing World Cup held in Istanbul from the twelfth to the eighteenth of this month, and the number of the team's players is thirty athletes.

The support of the Palestinian national team by Cairo Amman Bank comes within the framework of supporting Palestinian youth and sports, and out of social responsibility, which is one of the bank's most important values.

It is noteworthy that Cairo Amman Bank pays special attention to the youth category, as it launched the GO Youth Program, which is a bank account targeting the age group of young people from 22 to 30 years old that includes a number of banking services and benefits that meet their needs and are compatible with the requirements and lifestyle.

Gaza - "Jerusalem" dot com - Jamil Mezher, Deputy Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, called today, Tuesday, for a comprehensive and necessary national review of the entire Palestinian situation, to get rid of the chronic crises, and unify energies in facing the challenges plaguing the cause.

In his speech during a national conference to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the assassination of the former Secretary-General of the Popular Front , Abu Ali Mustafa , who was assassinated by the occupation army at the beginning of the second Al-Aqsa Intifada, Mezher praised the virtues of the martyr and his role in national unity, struggle, and others.

Mezher referred to the continuation of the occupation in its aggressive, Judaization, settlement and other policies, and its attempt to reduce the conflict in humanitarian and economic crises, and its attempts to tear the Palestinian situation into territoriality, and erase the achievements of the battle of "Saif al-Quds", praising the spirit of resistance among the Palestinian people and their refusal to surrender, achieving resistance to biases and accumulating strength, And thwarting the occupation's plans by isolating itself in Gaza, Jenin or Nablus alone.

Mezher recounted many points that he considered challenges and part of the chronic crises facing the Palestinian cause, which were represented in the inability of the political forces to translate the struggle and field unity, the inability to confront breaking the siege, the tools of financial and political blackmail and donor funds, and the need not to acquiesce or make any concessions in return for the continuation of American and international support, in addition to the inability of the ruling authorities in Gaza and the West Bank to provide the requirements of steadfastness, and everyone's failure to find a unified body of struggle throughout Palestine after the battle of "Saif al-Quds".

The Deputy Secretary-General of the Popular Front stressed the need to develop paths of struggle at all levels, by preserving the resistance and its unity, and developing the work of the joint operations room into a unified national resistance front, which defines the tactics of the resistance, and the commitment to liberating the prisoners and that there are no red lines for this goal. And not to be silent in front of any attempts to harm the rights of martyrs and prisoners, and to strengthen work for comprehensive national unity on the basis of a struggle program to confront the occupation and abandon the disastrous Oslo agreement, and to work to form an elected Palestinian National Council, and to confront all attempts to dismantle the Liberation Organization, and to restore consideration for its national charter, and affirm It is the sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, its protection and the prevention of exclusivity in it.

Mezher called on the responsible authorities in Gaza and the West Bank to strengthen the steadfastness of citizens, in light of the wrong policies that undermine their steadfastness, calling for setting up a real social program that preserves the rights of citizens, especially marginalized groups, and for there to be social justice.

Mezher touched on the campaign of arrest and prosecution of the Front's cadres, stressing that it will not weaken it, but rather make it stronger.

I am writing this article in conjunction with the results of the official Israeli elections; The general picture revealed by the ballot boxes is clear and confirms that we will face in the near future the completion of the formation of a new political style of government different from what we faced since the establishment of Israel until the days of the previous government.
I know that many members of my Arab community will object to this characterization, because they equate the policies of previous Israeli governments, from the time of David Ben-Gurion until the era of the Yair Lapid government, towards Arab citizens, and what the government of Netanyahu, Smotrich Ben-Gvir, and their allies from the Zionist and religious parties will do. All successive governments of Israel have treated the country's Arab citizens with systematic and blatant racism, and sometimes with bloody repression. In some heated confrontation stations, Arab victims have fallen, such as what happened in the Land Day confrontations in 1976 and the "October"-October 2000 confrontations, and in many individual attacks.
Of course, it is difficult to convince many segments of Arab society that there are serious differences between the racist regime whose lame "democracy" leaders, after their failure to displace our fathers during the Nakba, recognized the need to treat Arab citizens with incomplete equality, while they were practicing their racist policies against us in various ways and pretexts, and between The "Kamil-Fascist" regime will inevitably deal with and act with us according to concepts that require us, the "vandalists" according to their dictionary, to indoctrinate us, the "saboteurs" according to their dictionary, the abstracts of their "comodian" convictions, to the effect that they are "the owners of this house and the masters of this land", and they will not accept with them in this space a partner or an inmate. .
All the leaders of the Arab parties and our basic leadership institutions, the Supreme Committee for the Follow-up of Arab Citizens Affairs and the Qatari Committee for Presidents, along with most of the civil society institutions, have failed to resolve the differences between the two cases and to mobilize and organize the citizens in preparation for facing the moment of decisiveness, as was demonstrated by everyone’s positions towards them before and during the electoral battle.
I chose to write again about the dangers of what the election results led to, and deliberately avoided, at least at this stage, from addressing its repercussions and analyzing its disturbing results. Many will start drawing their pens and flooding us with these analyzes, and there is no need for more, and I am convinced that there is no point in any criticism of those who hold positions and how they practiced them before and on election day, and because what concerns me today is how we will face what this result will lead to on the day after the establishment of the expected Netanyahu government.
Some may bet that the next government, no matter how religious and extreme right-wing nationalism it is, will not dare to do what its predecessors did not dare. I do not know where they come from with this conviction, especially after we heard the promises of dozens of deputies, from most of the prospective coalition parties, to their constituents and their pledges to implement their fascist stances towards the Palestinians in general and towards us, the Arab citizens, in particular; We also heard them openly declaring their plans to complete the elements of the provisions of their authority over all state facilities and enable them, as government and ministers, to embody their "nationalist" beliefs to confirm the supremacy of the Jewish people and their dominion over the land of Israel and the "gentiles" who inhabit it, without contest and as promised by their Lord.
The "National Law" will be just a prop for what they are planning, from which they will launch a complete takeover of the Israeli Supreme Court, by changing the law for electing its judges and authorizing the government to appoint them, or at least, by ensuring a government majority in the appointments committee; They will also initiate a direct enactment of a law that empowers the Knesset to overturn the decisions of the Supreme Court, when this court intervenes and annuls a law that is not in line with the principles of democracy, equality, and others. Thus stated two days ago, Likud Knesset member Miki Zohar, when asked about his first activity in the next government, and added that on the first day they will pass a law that "forbids Arabs in Israel to raise the Palestinian flag and revoke the citizenship of every citizen who raises it." It will not suffice for an article to list what they intend to implement after receiving the government; Representative Miri Regev, for example, will start cleaning the ministries from the class of professional employees, the technocrats, because these employees often obstruct the implementation of government decisions and must be eliminated. While Smotrich announced that if he became Minister of the Army, he would push his regular units into the streets of mixed cities, so that those forces would ensure order and security there. On the other hand, his colleague in the list, Itamar Ben Gvir, who is claiming the internal security portfolio, stated that he would immediately start changing the shooting instructions, "You will not, after today, throw stones and rocks at police officers without our permission to shoot. We will grant personal immunity to every policeman, and in every event." And an accident that takes place on a national background will give soldiers and police freedom of action." I will not dwell on how they think about the Arabs/terrorists and their representatives in the Knesset. The idea of our displacement/transfer is no longer just a Zionist obsession, as it was in the old years, but has become a completed plan waiting for a favorable opportunity to implement it under the next government.
It is clear that the elements of the upcoming regime are working to develop an integrated system of tools to manage governance and to establish it in accordance with its concepts and objectives, and to pursue and punish all “enemies of the state and the system,” starting with the general public and passing through university students and employees, and even doctors, lawyers and university lecturers. There are those who will monitor everyone's daily behavior and their visual, Facebook, and other activities; What Netanyahu's governments practiced previously will appear as preliminary exercises for ethnic persecution that will affect all segments of our society without discrimination and reckoning.
A few days ago, news websites quoted Ben Brak, the head of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee in the Knesset, representative of the Yesh Atid party, as saying that he is convinced that "the return of the opposition leader (meaning Netanyahu) to power with the "religious Zionism" party will be the beginning of the end, as this is a dangerous alliance. "; After emphasizing the existence of the difference between the two cases, he added, stressing that "Hitler came to power in a democratic way. Building democracy takes place over the years, but it is easy to destroy it." Despite his emphasis on the existence of a difference, his words sparked a storm inside Israel at all levels. Is there a lesson for us in this statement?
I regret that conflicts and quarrels between leaders and activists within the Arab parties are still raging; This is instead of them reviewing the consequences of the defeat that has been achieved, which is a defeat even if some consider it a victory, and informing us of what each “current” of them will do in the face of the imminent danger of fascism. I do not believe, as I wrote in the past, that they have a clear vision that can be transformed into an effective and effective plan of action, and that their slogans go beyond partisan identities only.
I know that instilling hope in people's hearts is the first prelude to their steadfastness and steadfastness, and of course I agree with that. However, hope, no matter how much we cover it with sincere emotions, will not be sufficient to repel the fascist herds whose battalions are preparing to invent a pretext and pounce on our positions. Mixed cities, as they declared, may be the first bastions to be attacked in the near future, and if that happens, the people of the cities will confront them and, of course, will defend "home and honor" valiantly. However, it will not harm the leaders if they remember today what the "dice player" said and think about the soldiers who will pay a price with their lives without knowing who was defeated and who won.

حينما اغتالوا غدراً وجريمة الشهداء إبراهيم النابلسي وتامر الكيلاني وعدي التميمي والعشرات من أمثالهم وبسالتهم واستعدادهم العالي للتضحية، لم ينالوا من هذه الذوات رفيعة المستوى نضالاً وتضحية وأفعالاً فقط، حيث لم يقتصر هدف المستعمرة وأجهزتها وجيشها وأدواتها، على عملية القتل والتصفية الجسدية لهؤلاء واقرانهم، بل خططوا ونفذوا مستهدفين معنويات الشعب الفلسطيني، ولكل من راهن على بسالة هؤلاء الشباب ودورهم في صناعة المستقبل الفلسطيني.

أهداف القتل والتصفية تستهدف حماية المشروع الاستعماري التوسعي الإسرائيلي من التراجع والهزيمة، و الخشية من انتشار الخيار الكفاحي لهؤلاء البواسل الشابة، وتحولهم إلى ظاهرة شعبية لا تتوقف عند عرين الأسود وكتيبتي نابلس وجنين لتكون كتائب لرام الله وطولكرم والخليل، ولكل مدينة وقرية وحارة فلسطينية كتيبتها وأفعالها ضد الاحتلال، وهذا ما يُفسر قوة الاندفاع الإسرائيلي وشراسته، مستغلين وموظفين تفوقهم في الانقضاض بالقذائف وكثافة النيران وتدمير كل من يقف في مواجهتهم، غير مراعين لأي تعارضات مدنية أمامهم، المهم الوصول إلى هدفهم في الإبادة والتخريب وإزالة معطيات الرفض الفلسطيني والمقاومة.

لقد نجحت المستعمرة في احتلال كامل خارطة فلسطين، ولكنها فشلت في طرد كل الشعب الفلسطيني وتشريده عن أرض وطنه، وتدلل المعطيات الإحصائية أن نصف الشعب الفلسطيني باقٍ، صامد على كامل أرضه، ونصفه الآخر مشرد خارج فلسطين، لكل منهما برنامجه ودوره، وتكامل طرفي المعادلة الفلسطينية، في مسار النضال ومسيرته نحو الحرية والاستقلال للجزء الصامد الباقي، ونحو كسب الأشقاء والأصدقاء من العرب والمسلمين والمسيحيين للنصف المشرد ، يعمل من أجل اقرار حق العودة لأراضيهم ومدنهم وقراهم وبيوتهم التي تشردوا عنها، والعمل على استعادتها من الاجانب المستعمرين الذين وضعوا تسلطهم وإقامتهم فيها وعليها.

سخونة المواجهة وحدة التصادم بين الفلسطينيين والإسرائيليين، وتعاظم التضحيات من قبل شعب الجبارين، يعود إلى حجم التناقض بين المشروعين: المشروع الوطني الديمقراطي الفلسطيني في مواجهة المشروع الاستعماري التوسعي الإسرائيلي.

وقوة المواجهة بين الفلسطينيين والإسرائيليين واستمراريتها تعود إلى قوة النيران والحقد والعنصرية الإسرائيلية في مواجهة قوة الإرادة الفلسطينية وتطلعاتها نحو الكرامة والحرية، وانعكاس ذلك على يوميات وتفاصيل المعركة المحتدمة في نابلس وجنين وامتداداتها لباقي المواقع والأحياء على امتداد فلسطين بوتائر مختلفة.

طرفا السلطة الفلسطينية: سلطة رام الله أسيرة لاتفاقات التنسيق الأمني مع تل أبيب، وسلطة غزة أسيرة لاتفاقات التهدئة الأمنية مع تل أبيب، وهذا ما يُفسر غياب أفعال الطرفين، باستثناء الحكي وما أكثره، وبيانات الشجب وحدته، والاستنكار المربع وتعدديته.

دققوا بالاستفراد الإسرائيلي، استفردوا بالجهاد الإسلامي في شهر آب في غزة واغتالوا أبرز قياداتها، واستفردوا بمخيم جنين أولاً، وها هي نابلس ثانياً مستهدفين عرين الأسود وكتائب جنين وكتائب نابلس، تاركين سلطتي رام الله وغزة تستأثر بما لديهما من سلطة منفردة تستمد استمرارها في رام الله وغزة بموافقة الاحتلال ورضاه، وهنا تكمن المشكلة والضعف والصمت غير الخجول.

We will wake up, in four days, to a new reality in Israel; Where it will become clear to us, the Arab citizens, that the majority of Jewish citizens continue to drift towards a blind religious state mixed with a fascist right-wing ideology that will not accept the presence of the “Arab” among its backs as it was accepted by state institutions and rulers over the past decades; Justified racism and the suppression of programmed Arab citizens, as permitted by the laws of "democracy" of the Jewish state, will no longer be suitable rules for coexistence in Israel, which has morphed into a savage and dangerous entity.

It is unfortunate that the electoral campaigns end as they began; Fierce battles between "sister" camps armed and charged with poisoned ammunition that will leave their traces among us after the battle is over, and soldiers chanting outdated slogans that neglected to confront incendiary issues and dealt with our miserable reality with provocative lightness and misleading that mocks people's minds. Those who criticized and boycotted the party of the single leader, the star, cheered and cheered for the party of the single star leader.

The average citizen may be excused if he is carried away by the promises of the lightning of the deceitful preachers, or if they were deceived by their mirages, and if it were not for him, "they would not have continued walking in the desert." Simple people, or those we once called hard workers, are kind and believe the prophecies and songs of the rain, and rejoice in the groaning of the Lord when it runs through their tired veins, and do not groan when they listen to the harshness of the flute as it sings the “reeds” of their ancestors, which were covered by the dust of time.

These toilers, I suppose, did not hear the statement of the head of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Soroka Hospital, in the city of Beersheba, in front of a crowd of Jewish academics, as he expresses his astonishment that the governments of Israel do not face one of the most important dangers within them, which is the Arab-born woman; On the one hand, this is what the “professor” declared in a home seminar held in the presence of Minister Ayelet Shaked in “Omer” in the Negev: “We understand that reproduction will defeat us, that is, the Arab womb. On the other hand, we encourage this by paying them national insurance benefits for their children. ".

His Excellency called on the Minister to combat this dangerous phenomenon by examining the possibility of the Arab family paying a fine for the birth of the fifth son and the next!

I know that many of us will underestimate this event; It is not the first of its kind, nor is it the most dangerous in terms of its immediate impact. But I disagree with them and do not agree with them. We cannot detach this abhorrent and provocative scene from the entirety of what is happening in the streets and squares of the state, nor from the series of barbaric, almost daily attacks carried out by the unruly right-wing bastards; This is in addition to the fact that the speaker in this intervention is an influential academic and a physician who heads an important surgical unit that treats dozens of Arab patients, and a large number of Arab doctors and staff work with him in the hospital.

The Arab Doctors Association in the Negev denounced Sahar's racist statements, and demanded his dismissal. However, the director of the hospital contented himself with issuing a statement stating that: "The statement of one of the department heads in the hospital, which was made on a special occasion, does not represent Soroka Hospital or its workers. The administration made this clear to the department director, and he apologized for his position." Unfortunately, we did not read in their statement any clear apology for what was said, nor a denial of the "enemy Arab wombs" theory.

The Arab elites, from their privileged academic and operational positions, did not see the seriousness of Professor Sahar's statement, nor did they address how the hospital administration and other relevant state institutions could handle it. These segments have maintained their silence, which they have been addicted to for many years, as their silence for years contributed to the persistence of the fascist momentum on the one hand, and to the strengthening of feelings of despair among citizens and the flight of regiments to the margins; Either religiosity and dependence on God’s will, or “unification” and divorce from politics and its troubles, on the other hand.

I expected that the leaders of the parties would use this incident to arouse the zeal of the people, especially the zeal of Arab and Jewish academics alike; Although some of them issued statements of denunciation and protest, we saw how most of them adhered to their propaganda campaigns programmed and prepared by their media advisors, and these, as we know, work in commerce, not politics. So let's imagine for a moment that this professor will become the next Minister of Health in a government whose ministers all believe in the same and more dangerous! Then, how will Arab women secure the wounds of those who consider their wombs a threat to the future of Israel and its Jewish people? Or who will protect the staff of doctors, lecturers, engineers, Arab teachers and others from their sure revenge and their declared plot?

In short, the question we repeat, who will protect us from these people and how? Citizenship, they wanted to deprive us of it, and we made it lame, will that suffice? Or the justice of their judiciary, which will stand at the head of judges practicing settlement thought and housing? Or maybe it is the fear of our Arab brothers who will open the doors of their universities to our thinkers, academics and students and put the budgets of their graduate studies centers at the disposal of our researchers and scholars?

I asked these questions to those who call for a boycott of the elections, and I do not mean individuals among them, and I did not read an explicit response that went beyond the door of wishing and praying, or the threshold of traditional militant slogans that are said without practical balance.

We live in the midst of a racist and religiously extremist society, whose fascist leaders rush to power, and we must thwart them. Participation in elections is an important means for this effort, which is of course better than belittling, gambling, outbidding, and adventures that, no matter how well they are practiced, will inevitably lead us to hell.

I will vote, as I always vote, in favor of the "Democratic Front" list, and its ally today, the "Arab Movement for Change", and I call on people to vote for this list, as it is a tried and true title for the joint, realistic, Arab-Jewish struggle, and to stand up to the occupation, racists and fascists; And whoever does not want it, let him vote for those who will stand in the face of fascism and occupation. Confronting you with a unified struggle front is our first task after the election battle. Voting remains, in all cases, for Zionist right-wing parties, of course, forbidden.
