The Truth of God and Our Lord Jesus Christ

Special Palestine Cry Blog articles: The Catholic Creed: The meaning of the Pasch of Christians.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY AND TRUTH AND LIFE - NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT BY HIM.

For as it was not possible that the man who had once for all been conquered, and who had been destroyed through disobedience, could reform himself, and obtain the prize of victory; and as it was also impossible that he could attain to salvation who had fallen under the power of sin,-the Son effected both these things, being the Word of God, descending from the Father, becoming incarnate, stooping low, even to death, and consummating the arranged plan of our salvation, upon whom [Paul], exhorting us unhesitatingly to believe, again says, "Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring down Christ; or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to liberate Christ again from the dead." Then he continues, "If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved." And he renders the reason why the Son of God did these things, saying, "For to this end Christ both lived, and died, and revived, that He might rule over the living and the dead." And again, writing to the Corinthians, he declares, "But we preach Christ Jesus crucified; "and adds, "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? " - St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book III, Chapter XVIII, Section 2.

The Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, Mary and John and the women at the foot of the Cross

Matthew 27:45 Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness over all the earth, until the ninth hour.

Origen tell us this darkness was only in Palestine, and the neighbouring countries: for as to the words, over the whole earth, or over the whole land, we find one kingdom or empire, by a common way of speaking, called the whole earth, or the whole world. As to the cause of the obscuration of the sun; and secondly, as to the extent of its darkness. Origen tells us that the darkness was partial, and confined to Judea and the neighbouring countries, as the darkness of Egypt was only perceived in that country, and not in Gessen, where the children of Israel were. Saint Jerome tells us that the obscurity was caused by the rays of the sun being suddenly withdrawn by divine power, as was the case in Egypt. The darkness in Egypt during the Passover of Moses was due to God's protection withdrawn from that land at that time. The darkness when Christ was Crucified for us is the judgement of God upon His Son Jesus Christ, in our place. For Jesus Christ knew NO sin. He never sinned, nor could He ever.

The meaning of the Pasch of Christians.

The Book of Wisdom, Chapter 17, describes the devils and demons thrown back upon the Egyptians when the Israelites under Moses were brought out of Egypt by God for God’s purposes (to prepare a place for the Crucifixion of Our Lord for the Redemption of the whole world of those who are saved). In the same way the same false gods and goddesses that the Egyptians served and which in so doing were the reason the Egyptians sacrificed their sons and daughters to the devils and demons behind the false gods/goddesses were the spirits that killed the Egyptian children that perished when the Israelites were brought out of Egypt. God does not murder children, period. The angel of death which destroyed in Egypt was one of the fallen spirits. God did not cause any of the fallen spirits to hurt anyone. God allowed the fallen spirits to do what it is their nature do to when He brought the Israelites out of the gates of hell which was Egypt. The children below the age of reason that died went to be with God for eternity, they will be resurrected with the just at the Second Coming of Christ. This principle of God allowing the innocent to be afflicted along with guilty finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ’s singular and only salvific Kenosis. Jesus Christ committed no sin, not ever nor could He, and was and is and only could be utterly and absolutely and completely innocent of any and all wrongdoing and sin by His very nature as the Holy and True God. The guiltless sacrificed by His own will for the guilty. Even when the innocent are afflicted by the actions and evils instigated by the fallen spirits in the world, the innocent are not possessed by those fallen spirits. The principle of all being afflicted by the evil set loose upon the world for its unrepentant sin will occur when the universal plagues are let loose upon the world. See Apocalypse 16

The principle of our always, for our part, protecting children is given us by Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 18

1 At *that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?

2 *And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,

3 And said: Amen I say unto you, *unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

10 Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, *that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

The principle of our ONLY worshipping the True God, the Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is given first in the historical truth of the Garden of Eden when Christ, who is the Tree of Life commands the first man and his wife, Adam and Eve to not have anything to do with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil which is Satan, the first fallen angel, nor with any of the fallen angels with Satan. Assisi of Babylon/Vatican/Rome is absolute and complete violation of that principle and is the Great Apostasy in full blown Satanic evil. Have nothing to do with the Vatican or suffer its eternal damnation in hell with it. The devil and demon worshipping pagans and the perfidious deicidal Jews are not ever any part of the Salvific action of Christ upon Golgotha/Calvary. Individual pagans and Jews if they repent of their not confessing Jesus Christ as the Immortal Son of God become flesh for our sake and sacrificed for our salvation and who confess publicly their sin of devil and demon worshipping and perfidy and deicide and who beg the Lord of all, the Lord God, the Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit for forgiveness of their horrid and abominable sins, can and will be forgiven if they do so now in this life and will enter into the only path of salvation there is as dictated by God Himself. The Church, all the faithful – there is no other meaning acceptable to God for the word Church, is commanded by God to not have anything to do with the Apostasy.

Book of Wisdom, Chapter 17

1 For thy judgments, O Lord, are great, and thy words cannot be expressed: therefore undisciplined souls have erred.

2 For while the wicked thought to be able to have dominion over the holy nation, they themselves being fettered with the bonds of darkness, and a long night, shut up in their houses, lay there exiled from the eternal providence.

3 And while they thought to lie hid in their obscure sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly afraid and troubled with exceeding great astonishment.

4 For neither did the den that held them, keep them from fear: for noises coming down troubled them, and sad visions appearing to them, affrighted them.

5 And no power of fire could give them light, neither could the bright flames of the stars enlighten that horrible night.

6 But there appeared to them a sudden fire, very dreadful: and being struck with the fear of that face, which was not seen, they thought the things which they saw to be worse:

7 And the delusions of their magic art were put down, and their boasting of wisdom was reproachfully rebuked.

8 For they who promised to drive away fears and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of a fear worthy to be laughed at.

9 For though no terrible thing disturbed them: yet being scared with the passing by of beasts, and hissing of serpents, they died for fear: and denying that they saw the air, which could by no means be avoided.

10 For whereas wickedness is fearful, it beareth witness of its condemnation: for a troubled conscience always forecasteth grievous things.

11 For fear is nothing else but a yielding up of the succours from thought.

12 And while there is less expectation from within, the greater doth it count the ignorance of that cause which bringeth the torment.

13 But they that during that night, in which nothing could be done, and which came upon them from the lowest and deepest hell, slept the same sleep.

14 Were sometimes molested with the fear of monsters, sometimes fainted away, their soul failing them: for a sudden and unlooked for fear was come upon them.

15 Moreover if any of them had fallen down, he was kept shut up in prison without irons.

16 For if any one were a husbandman, or a shepherd, or a labourer in the field, and was suddenly overtaken, he endured a necessity from which he could not fly.

17 For they were all bound together with one chain of darkness. Whether it were a whistling wind, or the melodious voice of birds, among the spreading branches of trees, or a fall of water running down with violence,

18 Or the mighty noise of stones tumbling down, or the running that could not be seen of beasts playing together, or the roaring voice of wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the highest mountains: these things made them to swoon for fear.

19 For the whole world was enlightened with a clear light, and none were hindered in their labours.

20 But over them only was spread a heavy night, an image of that darkness which was to come upon them. But they were to themselves more grievous than the darkness.

Killing zionist LtC. Mizrahi is Mercy and Justice

موت الظالمين للمظلومين رحمة وعبادة وعدالة
في ظل غياب العدالة مع تواصل الإحتلال الصهيوني, لم أجد تعبيرا أكثر دقة وصدقا وموضوعية في التعليق على مقتل المستوطن الصهيوني ضابط الإستخبارات العسكرية “باروخ مزراحي” الذي جاء بعد سلسلة من الإعدامات نفذها جنود الكيان الإحتلالي في مدن الضفة الغربية, وذهب ضحيتها كل من الفتى يوسف الشوامرة في دير سامت, والقاضي رائد زعيتر على معبر الكرامة, والشاب ساجي درويش في رام الله, ومحمد أبو زينة, ويزن الجبارين, وحمزة أبو الهيجا في جنين, ونهاد قطامش في بيت لحم و …, سوى القول: “أن موت الظالمين للمظلومين رحمة وعبادة وعدالة”. والضابط الصهيوني “مزراحي” الذي قتل في عملية فدائية على مقربة من حاجز الفصل العنصري المقام على مدخل بلدة ترقوميا غرب مدبنة الخليل, هو ضابط سابق في جيش الإحتلال الصهيوني, إرتكب على مدى 25 عاما من جرائم القتل والإبادة والتطهير العرقي الشىء الكثير, وفيما أدناه نص المقال
crminal„Killing the oppressors is mercy to the oppressed people“ is a well-known proverb in Arabic, but killing the oppressors or tyrannicide is not a purely Arabic tradition as it is universally accepted as legitimate among human societies: killing invaders, tyrants and similar scoundrels has been legal and legitimate throughout human history and across all peoples and cultures.
I was not able to find a more honest and objective expression to comment the killing of zionist settler and military intelligence officer, Lieutenant Commander Baruch Mizrahi, who perpetrated many crimes of war, who participated in the assassinations of many Palestinians, in episodes of ethnic cleansing and in the theft of Palestinian lands in the southern of the West Bank during the 25 years of his service as a military and intelligence officer, more than to say “his death was mercy and justice for all victims in occupied Palestine and it saved the lives of many Palestinians”.
Since decades, the jewish invaders of Palestine have been perpetrating crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes, to date with full impunity. Occupation is always a crime against humanity.
On the night of Monday, April 14 2014, Baruch Mizrahi, a 47-year-old zionist squatter who served in the IDF for 25 years, who held a variety positions in israel’s military intelligence, most recently the position of Lieutenant Colonel at Intelligence Unit 8200, which was targeting Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Mizrahi had also been police chief superintendent. He was killed during a shooting operation carried out by a Palestinian resistance cell near the racist apartheid checkpoint near Tarqoumia, west of Hebron.
Yusef Al-ShawamreTwo weeks before Mizrahi’s death, the israeli IDF criminals shot three poor boys from the Al-Shawamre family (Yussef ,14, Rami, 12, and Motaser 15) while they were picking wild plants  “Akkoup” for their families’ livelihood. Yusef Al-Shawamre was seriously injured and died of his wounds because the zionist criminals denied him medical treatment after they shot him.
On March 22, 2014, the Israeli special forces invaded Jenin and murdered three Palestinians. Hamza Abu al-Hija, 22, Mahmud Abu Zeina, 25, and Yazen Jabarin, 22.
Earlier, on March 10, 2014, Israeli soldiers kill two Palestinians, Raed Alaa Addin Zieter, 38, a Judge was assassinated in cold blood near the borders with Jordan and Sagie Darwish, 20, was killed near Ramalalh after the Israeli soldiers invaded the village of Bieteen, searched homes and fired live rounds at residents’ homes.
The shooting operation carried out by the Palestinian resistance cell, in which Mizrahi was killed, was carried out in revenge for the murder of the cold-blooded murder of the Al-Shawamre boys. As always, the western media did not report on the israeli crimes, as always, the murder of the Palestinian children was not important enough to be decried as a crime, but justified in the eyes of these presstitutes, these blights on the collective name of journalists everywhere.
Summarily killing the Tyrant is Mercy and Justice
Mizrahi was not killed in israel but in the occupied West Bank. He was driving from the Modi’in colony to Kiryat Arba, the most radical colony in Hebron where the deranged extremist Rabbi Dov Lior lives. Unit 8200, where Mizrahi was occupied, does not only target Palestinians but is the unit of the IDF that also targets the communications in Europe and in Eastern Asia – it is israel’s equivalent of the NSA. Hopefully, Mizrahi’s death will be translated into a measure of respite from the predatory efforts of israel for these countries.

Palestinian Hunger Striker Released From Zionist Jail

IssawiPalestinian administrative detainee Samer Issawi, who had been released previously as part of the “Gilad Shalit” deal and was subsequently re-arrested by the israeli occupation, was released and returned to his house and family at al-Issawiya in occupied East Jerusalem.
The israeli jailing service released prominent Palestinian prisoner Samer Issawi on Monday, after eight month of hunger strike at the Israeli detention, the longest known hunger strike to this date. Issawi led a political campaign against his arrest without trail by the israeli occupation, what they call “administrative detention”.
Issawi was one among the 1,027 prisoners released from israeli prison in the deal of the release of the IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. The israeli government of occupation re-arrested Issawi among other prisoners after months of their release??
Issawi began a hunger strike shortly after his return to prison; he received only liquids fortified with vitamins, which kept him alive. Due to the strike, he lost more than half his weight.
On April, it was reported that Issawi has agreed on a deal brokered by israeli and Palestinian officials to serve eight months for allegedly violating bail conditions for an earlier release, after which he will be freed to his Jerusalem home.
The family of Issawi, his friends, representatives of the Palestinian Prisoner Club and a non-governmental organizations were waiting for his release at the entrance of the israeli jail. Issawi is still sick and unable to eat, he lost more than half of his weight during detention.

Zionists Kill Palestinian With Help of PA

NafeiIsraeli death squads of the so-called border police operating under cover, reportedly dressing in Palestinian clothes, killed Palestinian Nafie Jamil Al Saadi, 22, in the Jenin refugee camp Wednesday evening and left another seven persons injured in an operation which led to the arrest of dozens of political activists.
The death squad operation was coordinated with the so-called Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces and was directed against some political activists from Islamic Jihad and Hamas, who had been earlier released by the zionist regime.
PA intelligence personnel and militia have arrested several hundred of Hamas, Fatah and Jihad elements in the occupied West Bank in Jenin, Nablus and Hebron during the past days.
In October 25 2013, the Palestinian militia “security forces” raided the house of Sheikh Jamal Abu al-Hayja in search of his son Hamza, 21. The PA militia smashed everything they found at the house of Abu Al Hayja and then they told his wife that her son “Hamza” must turn himself in two days. They threatened her and left.
jeninSheikh Abu al-Hayja was the leader of a group of fighters in Jenin refugee camp battle in 2002. He lost his arm while defending the Palestinian civilians in Jenin. He was arrested by the Israeli occupation soldiers and sentenced to nine life sentences and an additional 25 years.
He is imprisoned at the Gilboa jail. His son “Abed Al-Salam” is serving seven and a half life sentence and his son “Asim” has been in administrative detention for several years. His wife and daughter were previously jailed, interrogated and tortured and then released by the Israel zionists. His son “Hamza”, who was 11 years in 2002,NOW is “wanted” by both of the israeli occupation and the PA forces.
Today evening, at round 8:30 PM and with full knowledge of the PA, the israeli death squads dressing as Palestinian technicians and operating “undercover” raided Jenin refugee camp in a car with Palestinian license plates and entered the house of the Hamas leader Sheikh Jamal Abu al-Hayja to arrest his son Hamza. 

Palestinian youths of the area protested against the filthy coordinated mission between of israeli occupation death squad soldiers and PA “security forces” elements. As usual for such occasions, they hurled insults and threw stones at the zionists death squads.
A detachment of the IDF Artillery Corps was stationed nearby providing additional cover for the death squad unit. When the protests of the Jenin youths stoned the IDF death squad troops, About 25 military vehicles entered the camp and fired live ammunition at Palestinians. The result was that a Palestinian was killed and 7 injured among them three critical injuries.
According Oslo agreement the PA “forces” militia role is to provide cover for the so-called Israeli’s security needs, to fight against the Palestinian resistance and imprison them; to hand the so-called “wanted Palestinians for the occupation, to free the hands of the israeli soldiers whenever they want to arrest Palestinians.


فرقة موت صهيونية تقتل فلسطيني في جنين بالتنسيق مع السلطة الفلسطينية
سيارة فلسطينية تنقل فرقة الموت الصهيونية إلى منزل بطل معركة جنين ابو الهيجا
خلال عملية تنسيق “أمني” مسبقة مع ما يسمى السلطة (السلطة الفلسطينية) أو قوات “الأمن الفلسطينية” الخاضعة لسلطة الرئيس محمود عباس, قتلت مساء اليوم فرقة الموت الإسرائيلية, وهي فرقة عسكرية تتنكر في إرتداء لباس الفلسطينيين المدني, شابا فلسطينيا في مخيم جنين شمال الضفة الغربية الخاضع للسيطرة الفلسطينية, وأصابت سبعة آخرين بجروح بينهم ثلاثة في حالة الخطر, كما اعتقلت الوحدة عددا من النشطاء السياسيين من رموز الفصائل الفلسطينية ممن فشلت قوات الأمن الفلسطيني في إعتقالهم خلال مداهمة منازلهم في وقت سابق من شهري أوكتوبر ونوفمبر المنصرمين
وقعت الجريمة النكراء مساء اليوم الساعة الثامنة والنصف مساءا, عندما نقلت سيارة تحمل لوحة تابعة للمناطق الخاضعة للسلطة الفلسطينية, ومملوكة من قبل أحد أفراد الأمن الفلسطيني, لنظرائهم من أفراد فرقة الموت الإسرائيلية “المستعربين” وهم جنود يتنكرون في لباس فلسطيني مدني, وذلك وفقا لعملية تنسيق “أمني” مسبقة بين الطرفين, إلى منزل الشيخ المعتقل في السجون الإسرائيلية “جمال ابو الهيجا” من أجل إعتقال نجله “حمزة”, 21 عاما, الذي لم تنجح قوات السلطة الفلسطينية في إعتقاله خلال مداهمات متكررة في شهري أكتوبر ونوفمبر, بناء على مطالب إسرائيلية وامريكية
وقد أدى دخول قوات فرقة الموت إلى منزل القيادي “أبو الهيحا” إلى انفجار غضب سكان المخيم, ممن رشقوا قوات المستعربين بالحجارة الأمر الذي أدى إلى تدخل ما يسمى بقوات فيلق المدفعية الإسرائيلية التي كانت تتوقف على مقربة من المكان لتوفير غطاء امني لقوات المستعربين, الذين نقلتهم سيارة السلطة الفلسطينية للمخيم
وذكرت المصادر أن 25 جيبا عسكريا صهيونا إقتحم المخيم فور تصدي الشيان للغزاة المحتلين, وأن قوات الإحتلال فتحت نيران أسلحتها الرشاشة على المواطنين مما أدى إلى إستشهاد الشاب نافع جميل السعدي, وأصابة ثمانية آخرين بينهم ثلاثة وصفت أصاباتهم بالحرجة
فيما إختفت قوات السلطة الفلسطينية من المكان, والتزمت أوكارها التي إعتادت الأختفاء بها كلما دخلت قوات الإحتلال المدن الفلسطينية لتنفيذ المهام القذرة لما يسمى ب “التنسيق الأمني” المنصوص عليها في إتفاقات السلطة الفلسطينية, والتي تقضي بتسليم الفلسطينيين لقوات الأحتلال وتناوب أدوار إعتقالهم وتوفير الحماية لإسرائيل
ومنعت قوات الإحتلال التي دخلت المخيم بحراسة فلسطينية قبل دخول القوات العسكرية الصهيونية سيارات الإسعاف من نقل المصابين للمستشفى, الأمر الذي أدى إلى إستشهاد أحدهم متأثرا بجراحه الخطرة
العملية العسكرية الصهيونية التي ذهب ضحيتها الشاب السعدي وأدت إلى إصابة ثمانية آخرين, تمت بالتنسيق مع قادة الأجهزة الأمنية في السلطة الفلسطينية ممن يديرون ما يسمى ب “مكاتب الإرتباط العسكري” (دي سي أو), وهي مكاتب  للتجسس تنتشر في مدن الضفة الغربية, وتعمل لصالح جهاز المخابرات الصهيوني “شاباك”, كانت موجهة ضد عائلة السجين الشيخ “جمال ابو الهيجا”, قائد  معركة جنين ضد الغزاة الصهاينة عام 2002, ممن إرتكبوا جرائم إبادة وجرائم حرب وجرائم ضد الإنسانية ضد أهالي جنين, ابادوا خلالها العشرات وردموا المخيم ومنازله على رؤوس الفلسطينيين وهم أحياء يرزقون
وقد فقد “أبو الهيجا” الذي أصبح طفله مطلوبا للسلطة الفلسطينية ذراعه خلال معركة جنين, وحكم عليه بالسجن تسع مؤبدات و25 عاما, فيما يقضي إبنه “عبد السلام” حكما بالسجن مدته سبع مؤبدات ونصف, أما إبنه “عاصم” فهو سجين إداري (أي بدون تهمة) منذ عدة سنوات لدى إسرائيل
كما إعتقلت زوجة ابو الهيجا وابنته وعذبتا في السجون الصهيونية قبل الإفراج عنهما, أما نجله “حمزة” الذي أصبح مطلوبا للسلطة الفلسطينية وإسرائيل, فيبلغ من العمر 21 عاما, وقد كان طقلا في العاشرة من عمره عام 2002, عندما إعتقلت القوات الصهيونية والده وارتكتبت مجزرة جنين في 25 نيسان عام 2002
نقول للسلطة الفلسطينية: بان مشاعر الشعب الفلسطيني ودماؤه ليست رهينة مفاوضات عبثية, وإتفاقات يبرمها رئيس منتهي الولاية منذ عام 2009. وان الدولارات الأمريكية والأوروبية التي تصب في خزينة السلطة لا يمكن لها أن تشتري ذمم جميع الفلسطينيين. ومن حق حمزة أن يناضل بكل الوسائل والطرق من أجل حرية فلسطين وحرية والده, وليس من حق أي كان أن يصادر حق المقاومة المشروعة في القانون الدولي
جدير بالذكر بان المخابرات الفلسطينية وميليشياتها الأمنية قد اعتقلت خلال الأيام الماضية المئات من عناصر حركة حماس وفتح والجهاد الإسلأمي في الضفة الغربية المحتلة, وتحديدا في كل من مدينة جنين, ونابلس والخليل, وذلك إستجابة لمطالب إسرائيلية وأمريكية

Israeli Wastewater Treatment Plant Designed to Benefit Zionist Colonies in the Occupied Palestinian Territories

wadi -Al NarAl-Haq for Human Rights is gravely concerned by the Israeli authorities plans to build a municipal wastewater treatment plant in Wadi al-Nar, what so-called “Kidron Valley”, in occupied East Jerusalem. This wastewater treatment plant will treat wastewater originating from households in East Jerusalem, including settlements. The wastewater will undergo initial, partial treatment in a facility run by the settlement organisation the Jordan Valley Water Association. The partially treated wastewater will subsequently be used for irrigation in settlements in the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea area.
As the Occupying Power, Israel has the obligation to protect the occupied population and ensure public order and safety. However, it must carry out its responsibilities for the benefit of the occupied population and may under no circumstances administer the territory to further its own interests. The proposed wastewater treatment plant will serve the Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem, thereby solidifying their existence and perpetuating violations of international law.
Furthermore, the wastewater treatment plant will primarily benefit the settlement enterprise – a project that has received the unconditional financial and political support of successive Israeli governments. The flourishing agricultural environment in the West Bank, particularly in the Jordan Valley area, coupled with the exploitation of water and other natural resources found in occupied territory, has turned Israeli settlements into profitable enterprises.
The construction of infrastructure, provision of water resources by the Israeli government, and the establishment of export companies that trade with the European Union, including the Netherlands, have driven the success of such enterprises. These steps have proven essential in reinforcing and consolidating the settlement enterprise at the expense of the occupied Palestinian population and its economy.

Commenting on the issue, Al-Haq Director Shawan Jabarin stated: “The planned wastewater treatment plant will contribute to maintaining and supporting illegal settlements in the OPT and towards making Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem irreversible.” Shawan Jabarin further cautions “all actors, including potential donors and international corporations, involved in the designing, development and construction of the plant against playing a role in undermining the chances of a just peace for the Palestinian people.”
Considering that this project may receive support from Dutch actors, including Dutch legal entities, Al-Haq highlights the Dutch Prosecutor’s recent recognition in the Riwal-case that Dutch nationals, including legal entities, can be held criminally responsible for violations of IHL under Dutch criminal law. Al-Haq therefore strongly urges all actors to terminate any involvement in the wastewater treatment plant.

Israeli Soldiers Detain Palestinian Five-year-old In Hebron, Videos - Friday, July 12, 2013 - kawther.salam

Israeli Soldiers Detain Palestinian Five-year-old In Hebron, Videos

IDF arrest a child-1B’Tselem for Human Rights has written urgently to the Legal Adviser in the occupied Palestinian territories, demanding his response to a grave incident in which soldiers detained a five-year-old boy in Hebron for two hours, after he threw a stone. The soldiers threatened the child and his parents, handcuffed and blindfolded the father, and handed the boy over to the Palestinian Police. Detaining a child below the age of criminal responsibility, especially one so young, has no legal justification.
On Tuesday, 9 July 2013, at around 3:30 P.M., seven soldiers and an officer detained Wadi’ Maswadeh, who is five years and nine months old (his birthdate on his mother’s ID card: 24 September 2007) close to ‘Abed checkpoint, near the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, after he threw a stone. B’Tselem field researcher Manal al-Ja’bari, who was present at the scene, recorded the entire event on video.
After local residents who had gathered at the spot tried to intervene, the soldiers put the crying child into a jeep with another Palestinian resident and took him home. When they reached the house, the officer informed Wadi’s mother that he intended to hand him over to the Palestinian Police. The mother refused to let them take the child before his father, Karam, came home. About half an hour after Wadi’ was detained, Karam Maswadeh came home.
The officer informed Maswadeh that he was arresting his son in order to hand him over to the Palestinian Police. Meanwhile, Wadi’a had spent the entire time hiding behind a pile of mattresses in the house and crying. The parents made it clear to the officer that the child is five years old, but the officer insisted on taking him to the DCO and threatened them, saying that the army would arrest the father if they did not comply. The soldiers then made Karam and his son leave the house and walk to the army camp on a-Shuhada street.
Videos of the first part of the incident, recorded by B’Tselem’s field researcher Manal al-Ja’bari
“When I got home, I saw several soldiers standing at the entrance to my house. An officer came up to me and ordered me to get my son, Wadi’a. Before I got home, the soldiers had tried to persuade my wife to hand Wadi’a over, but she had refused to do it until I came back. The officer told me that he was going to arrest Wadi’a and hand him over to the Palestinian Coordination. I asked him: “Why arrest a five-year-old boy?” A soldier standing next to the officer showed me a stone and claimed that my son had thrown it, and that it had hit the car of a settler who was driving north, near ‘Abed checkpoint. I tried to persuade the officer not to take Wadi’ to the DCO, but he said that if I didn’t bring him, I’d be arrested. […] I went inside the house and got Wadi’, who was hiding there. He was crying.”
Wadi’ and his father were taken to the army base, where they were detained for half an hour. Then, the soldiers handcuffed and blindfolded Karam and walked him, in full public view, together with his son, to the Policeman’s checkpoint (56), where the soldiers detained them for another thirty minutes. At that point, a lieutenant colonel arrived whom the father, who speaks Hebrew, understood to be an Israeli coordination officer from the DCO. The officer questioned Wadi’ and asked him why he had thrown stones. He also reprimanded the soldiers for arresting the father and son in the presence of video cameras, and complained that “you’re harming our public image”. The officer made it clear to the soldiers that, when detainees are held with cameras around, they must be “treated nicely”. Then, one of the soldiers untied the father’s hands, removed his blindfold and gave him water. A few minutes later, an officer from the Palestinian DCO and several Palestinian policemen arrived. The soldiers handed Karam and Wadi’ Maswadeh over to them, and the two were taken to a Palestinian police station, where they were briefly questioned and released.
Vudeos of the second part of the incident, documented by a B’Tselem volunteer ‘Imad abu-Shamsiyeh:
The father and the son were detained at checkpoint near there house in the occupied city of Hebron
IDF Officer arrives: Video
Transfer to Palestinian Police
In her letter to the Legal Adviser to Judea and Samaria, B’Tselem Director Jessica Montell stated: “The footage clearly shows that this was not a mistake made by an individual soldier, but rather conduct that, to our alarm, was considered reasonable by all the military personnel involved, including senior officers. It is particularly troubling that none of them apparently thought any part of the incident wad problematic: not the fact that they scared a five-year-old boy out of his wits, nor threatening him and his parents to “hand him over” to the Palestinian Police, nor threatening to arrest the father on no legal grounds, nor handcuffing and blindfolding the father in front of his son.”.
Based on B’Tselem’s ongoing experience, there appears to be a procedure in which soldiers detain Palestinian minors suspected of stone throwing and transfer them to the Palestinian Police, at the Palestinian DCO. In the case at hand, the soldiers apparently acted according to that procedure, which does not, and cannot, have any legal grounds when the minor is below the age of criminal responsibility.
In the military judicial system in the West Bank, the age of criminal responsibility is 12, as in Israel. The legal meaning is that the security forces are not allowed to arrest or detain children under that age, even when they are suspected of having committed criminal offenses, and the authorities must deal with the law breaking in other ways. Indeed, B’Tselem has documented many incidents in which Israel minors under the age of criminal responsibility threw stones at Palestinians, and no measures were taken against them. Under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Israel signed, minors must be protected in criminal proceedings, especially when they are so young.

Soldiers Detain, Interrogate Child in Hebron

IDFarrest8yearold_16Jun2013CPT – Hebron – Children suspected of stone-throwing are routinely held without access to family or legal counsel, as required by International Humanitarian Law
On 16 June, CPTers found Israeli soldiers questioning young children in the street outside the CPT house. Soldiers accused them of throwing rocks up at a soldier stationed high on the rooftop of an adjacent building, from the street below.
Soldiers identified a boy about eight years old, and demanded he go with them. The boy began crying and a Palestinian man intervened, trying to separate him from the soldiers.

CPTers photographed the incident and a soldier threatened to break their cameras. The soldiers took the boy to the nearby “Osma ben Monqeth” what so-called “Israeli settlement of Beit Romano”, where they took him behind the main security gate (see photo above). A woman related to the boy approached the gate and asked to see him. Soldiers refused, and she was visibly distressed.

The soldiers continued to question the boy an hour after they had detained him. During this time he did not have a parent, guardian, lawyer, or any sympathetic adult with him – a clear violation of International Humanitarian Law. CPTers challenged the soldiers and asked when the boy would be released. The soldiers stated their procedure is to detain any child suspected of stone-throwing. The boy was released to the custody of the Palestinian Authority police through Checkpoint 56, and then to the custody of his parents.

Borders Borders, An American Poem For You

By Chelli Stanley, an American woman in her late twenties who visited my occupied homeland Hebron, from where I was expelled by the Zionist Israeli occupation in 2002. Pictures Credit: CPT.
Going to pray at the Mosque Worshippers regularly stopped on way to prayer Going to prayer becomes a form of nonviolent resistanceWhen I went through the border I heard a man
speak his name, speak for his freedom and the freedom of those around him
and I saw a soldier standing behind him
who was there to kill, disappeared, repress, impoverish, murder, steal, lie, thieve, die
sometimes too, everyday inside he died, that soldier, I saw it in his eyes
soldier funded to stand there, given money, by a government that I “have” somehow to call “my own”. 
… I Pledge Allegiance…
But I can’t I can’t I cant I cant I cant I cant I cant I cant
When I saw that man and heard his sweet voice and saw the look of recognition between the people, their hearts and their lives,
then I felt my spirit renew, I felt my heart come alive,
I felt the pains of the people, I saw the pains of the ages, and I saw all of Life speak together
and their song was beautiful,
and the deeper it went their lives intertwined with that of the suns’ life, the plants, the bats, jaguars, agua y oro tambien
Borders borders
sound bombs market incidentWhen I came through the border of the land called “US”, I felt screaming silently and erased
though not erased
That
I am not the murderer.  Not the one who goes to other countries with paid boots and guns to [insert propaganda]
No not me
And I am not the one who thieves, who goes and pays for bullets to go into the bodies of children in lands maybe I’ve never seen.
Not me.  No not me.
I’ve seen the bodies of children afraid of bullets marked USA-made
I’ve seen those kids and I loved them, I laughed with them, I told them all I could,
I don’t believe they should be murdered, I don’t believe in the destruction of their bodies or Hearts or Minds
I believe they should live the depths of their lives, I believe they should live the magic of their childhood, and the magic potential of their lives.
And I am not the one thinking that raping lands and lives for money is worth the profit$, and fuck the deaths and fuck the depths of the losses.
Not me. Not me.  I feel that loss, I see it, I watch it as the earth has started to bleed onto our feet
While the rich line their pockets with forgotten denials that
they don’t have the right to thieve/profit of/f our communities, to thieve/invest themselves in the stealing of our lives, our dreams, our visions sometimes even too.  That they don’t have the right to thieve/profit of/f the loss of another, off water, off the earth…
Hebron 8 003-1And I want to scream into the well that I see you liars
you thieves
you stupid capitalist imperialist bastards who forgot where home is
you jerks who took my water bottles and threw it in the trash, who made me take off my shoes, put my shit on a belt, open my bags for you, put my hands up inside a machine,  made me watch every foreigner get doubled fingerprinted and photographed, and told me You were “keeping the skies safe,”
I want to say to you that the border has long been reached.  The Emperor with No Clothes
has been spotted,
has been spotted,
spotted,
spotted,
and I’m one screaming that I see you, and I don’t Pledge Allegiance
I don’t lie for you, my “US” government, I don’t excuse your behavior, I don’t cover for your forced and constant “mistakes,”
I won’t put my hand over my heart for the rulers/thieves/liars/murderers/sick capitalist imperialist bastards
I would rather give my allegiance to those of this life who are striving for Life
Because my heart still feels So Much Love
And Because I still do believe in the visions
This day on the way to Mosque prayer 90 IDs were held while the prayers were in PrayerI am not the one who behaves like my Rights obligates me above all others,
and my Right to profit, and my Right to lie in your face and make you behave like you’re the criminal.
That’s not me.  That’s not that man I saw standing in front of a soldier calling for the right of the people to live in peace.  That’s not her I saw striving with eyes so wide open, with heart open striving bent on the strength of her vision.
I don’t Pledge Allegiance.
I want Liberation.
I want Liberation.
The other week in Tucson I gave $5 to a man who looked like he could use it,
and he cried and hugged me and spoke of Robin Hood,
and we spoke about the idea of Robin Hood, (hey we need more Robin Hoods)
and when I told him I wished him the best
He gave me a depth of a look
and he told me, “Everyone says that to me.  I’ve just stopped listening.”
And my heart felt a fracture, felt to be precariously shackled to a depth opening beneath my feet.
And I felt like something slipped between us two and said “That’s just the way it is.  Somethings can never change.  That’s just the way it is.”  Came to haunt us two, and beg for our votes, and told us not to trust each other, and told us we could never be free of this Hell called U.S.
kill to Arabinstead
instead of us two, three, all of us, us us us, we one.
I want this stupid Fucking “US” government to stop thinking it has the right to make the most money
Because I hate the costs of the deaths
And Because I love the Depth of the Lives
