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 Saint Jerome tells us that the obscurity was caused by the rays of the sun being suddenly withdrawn by divine power, as was the case in Egypt.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.

Palestine Adopts UN Treaties to End Torture and Discrimination

DSC_7390

From today, the State of Palestine is bound by international human rights standards, having brought into force five treaties, with two others coming into effect in July.
The treaties include the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
The Optional Protocol to this last convention will come into force in May.
Rupert Colville, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, says that this is a significant step towards enhancing the promotion and protection of human rights in Palestine.
“Palestine is now bound, as of today, for five treaties and, by July 2nd, seven treaties covering many major issues. And they will therefore, like other states, now be very closely scrutinised in whether they implement those treaties. Those treaties are hard law and therefore it gives a lot of extra ammunition to civil society organizations, the media, the UN and many others to help Palestine ensure that the human rights of Palestinians in the occupied territories, in the West Bank, in Gaza, are upheld.” (34″)
In a region where countries have a high number of reservations to human rights treaties, Palestine’s accession to the treaties and protocol is unusual in that it came without a single reservation. UN Radio, Geneva.
الامم المتحدة تعلن انضمام فلسطين الى 5 اتفاقيات حول حقوق الانسان

من جهة اخرى، افاد المتحدث ان انضمام فلسطين الى البروتوكول الاختياري التابع لاتفاقية الامم المتحدة لحقوق الطفل بخصوص ضلوع الاطفال في النزاعات المسلحة سيسري في 7 ايار (مايو) الجاري، فيما يسري انضمامها الى معاهدتي الامم المتحدة للحقوق المدنية والسياسية وللحقوق الاقتصادية والاجتماعية والثقافية في 2 تموز (يوليو) المقبل
وصرح كولفيل ان “الانضمام الى 7 اتفاقيات اساسية في مجال حقوق الانسان وبروتوكول محوري خطوة مهمة الى الامام في تعزيز حماية حقوق الانسان في فلسطين”
وفتح حصول فلسطين على وضع “دولة مراقب” في تشرين الثاني (نوفمبر) 2012 المجال امام انضمامها الى مختلف الاتفاقيات والمعاهدات الدولية
وفي 10 نيسان (ابريل) الماضي، اعلنت الامم المتحدة انها اعتبرت ان طلبات الفلسطينيين للانضمام الى 13 اتفاقية او معاهدة دولية تابعة للامم المتحدة تتلاءم والاليات الدولية. ورفع ممثل فلسطين في الامم المتحدة رياض منصور هذه الطلبات الى الامانة العامة للامم المتحدة في 2 نيسان (ابريل) الماضي.

Workers Day: No Cause for Celebration for Palestinians Working in Israel

checkpointThe Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories (B’Tselem) issued Wednesday a press statement decrying Israel’s mistreatment, humiliation of Palestinian workers and denying them their basic rights.
May 1 1014, marks International Workers’ Day. For Palestinian workers, there is not much cause for celebration: the day is a painful reminder that another year has gone by and nothing has changed. Palestinians are still denied basic rights, including the right to earn a living without risking their lives.
The West Bank has been under Israeli military rule for nearly 47 years. As the occupying power, Israel is responsible for the well-being, dignity and livelihood of West Bank residents. Yet it acts in contravention of international law, exploiting natural resources in the West Bank for its own needs and those of Israeli settlers, while ignoring the needs of the Palestinian population. These resources – largely inArea C, which is under full Israeli control – include quarries, water sources, land for agricultural or industrial development, and tourist attractions. A case in point: even as Israel prevents Palestinians from developing modern and potentially more profitable agriculture by denying them access to most of the Jordan Valley as well as to most of its water, it allocates land and much water to settlements so that they can develop such agriculture.
This policy is a major underlying cause for the absence of an independent Palestinian economy, which could provide sufficient and profitable work opportunities for all or most Palestinians in the West Bank. In the present economic situation, the only option available to tens of thousands of Palestinians for earning a living is work within Israel, either with a work permit from Israeli authorities or illegally.
Israel has strict criteria for the approval of work permits and issues no more permits than the number fixed in an occasionally revised quota. The current (March 2014) quota is 47,350 work permits for Israel and the settlements; most of the quota has been utilized.
Workers with permits may enter Israel by one of eleven designated checkpoints throughout the West Bank. In June 2013, B’Tselem staff visited the Tarqumya and Eyal Checkpoints, through which Palestinians with work permits enter Israel. We found harsh conditions of overcrowding, long lines, and cases of humiliation during inspection. On Sundays, the number of Palestinians crossing through both checkpoints peaks at 4,500. The workers and their belongings are scanned with a metal detector. Then, they move on to stations where personnel check their fingerprints and their papers, including their entry permits. Some individuals are sent for an additional inspection procedure, which is at times humiliating. Although both checkpoints open at 4:00 A.M., hundreds of laborers arrive hours earlier, in the middle of the night, concerned they will not reach their workplaces in time due to the long lines and the chance of being sent for additional inspection. Despite the throngs of people waiting to cross, not all eight inspection stations are regularly staffed.
B’Tselem reported these findings to the head of the Land Crossings Authority at the Ministry of Defense whose office responded by saying that there are no long lines and no overcrowding at checkpoints. B’Tselem’s field researchers returned to Tarqumya Checkpoint on 1 September 2013 to and documented that fact that nothing had changed: many workers arrive at the checkpoint soon shortly after midnight and by the time it opened, at 3:30 A.M., the line was extremely long. Palestinians at the checkpoint also reported being sent for additional inspection procedure in designated rooms that are overcrowded and have neither seating nor any air conditioning. Read more here. Tens of thousands of Palestinians whose applications for work permits have been denied, or who do not meet Israel’s strict criteria to begin with, are forced to try and enter Israel without a permit. Estimates of the number of Palestinians working in Israel without permits range from 15,000 to 30,000. Israeli authorities do not offer a systemic solution to the problem, and prefer to deal with random individual cases. Every now then, soldiers are sent out on missions to “capture illegals”, involving the arrest, injury, and rarely even death, of people who are not considered a threat even by the security establishment. According to current (31 March 2014) figures provided by the Israel Prison Service, 1,424 Palestinians – including 22 minors – are being held in Israeli prisons for illegal entry into the country.
For Palestinian workers who regularly enter Israel illegally to earn a living, life is a constant struggle for survival and returning home safe and sound from work cannot be taken for granted. They live in constant anxiety, fearing arrest or injury. In such a reality, labor rights such as a minimum wage, reasonable work hours, and a pension scheme seem like a distant dream.
I.’A., a 46-year-old floorer by trade, told B’Tselem field research Musa Abu Hashhash on 25 April 2014 what it’s like to work in Israel without a permit:
Work without a permit means endless suffering, worry and fear from the second I leave home. I leave early in the morning, at the beginning of the week, and head to the [Separation] Barrier in the Ramadin area in the South Hebron Hills. From there I enter Israel with other laborers. Usually, I have to wait near the barrier for hours, until I’m sure it’s safe. There’ve been times when I waited a whole day but finally had to go back home and miss a week of work. Every trip to work costs me 100 shekels [approx. 30 USD], which are split between the Palestinian who drives me to barrier and the Israeli driver who takes me from the barrier to Beersheba [in Israel].
Once I reach my workplace, I make sure not to leave it. I stay in Beersheba for a week or two at a time. At the end of each work day, I stay on site with the other laborers. We have to sleep in rough condition in unfinished buildings, on the floor, with no electricity or bathroom. We never go out so that the police won’t catch us. If we need to buy something, one of us goes carefully to a grocery store. Mostly, we eat tinned food. Sometimes, we have to move from one building to another to sleep, so we won’t be caught in a police raid. It’s happened – and more than once – that the police raided the place we were in and we escaped.
The contractors who hire me know that I don’t have a permit to enter Israel and use that to exploit me. They pay me only about 250 shekels a day [approx. 80 USD] and when I tell them it’s too little when taking my experience into account, they tell me I have no choice because I have no permit. I’ve also had times when my employer wouldn’t pay me at the end of the month and threatened that if I insisted on getting the money, he’d report me to the police. I have five little children and my wife works as a nurse. If I had a work permit, I could go home every day and help out with the kids. I worry because I’m so far away from them and I try to talk to them on the phone at least once a day.
Israel must enable the development of a Palestinian economy in the West Bank to provide decent work opportunities for the local population. Until that development is realized, Israel must issue permits to Palestinians wishing to work in Israel – based on appropriate security checks – and must ensure workers’ rights are upheld.

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.

Zionist Settlements Are Violation Of International Law

Ban Ki-moon30 November 2013 – It has been 66 years since the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 181, proposing the partition of the mandate territory into two States. Achieving the two-State solution, to which both Israel and the Palestinians have committed, is long overdue but still the Zionist Israel occupation in Palestine.
The United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned on Friday Nov. 29 2013, of “increasingly dangerous” tensions between Israel and the Palestinians which could threaten peace talks. His message was delivered by Ms Mazlan Othman at the UN office in Vienna on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
Ki-moon said: “settlement activity in the Occupied PalestinianTerritory continues, and remains a cause for very grave concern. Announcements of thousands of new housing units cannot be reconciled with the goal of a two-state solution and risk the collapse of negotiations. Settlements are in violation of international law and constitute obstacles to peace.  All settlement activity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem must cease.  Measures that prejudge final status issues will not be recognized by the international community.
DSC_3511aThe Secretary-General Ki-moon, sharply criticized the demolitions of the Palestinian house in the occupied West Bank, he said: “Palestinians continue to be displaced through house demolitions in Area C of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.  Of particular concern are developments in East Jerusalem, where this year alone, some 100 structures have been demolished, displacing 300 people.  Hundreds more Palestinians are at risk because their homes were built without Israeli-issued building permits. This underscores the importance of Palestinian access to a fair planning and zoning regime. I remind Israel of its obligation to protect the population under occupation.”
Ki-moon described the situation in Gaza as a source of serious concern. He said: “The situation in Gaza remains a source of serious concern.  I reiterate my condemnation of all rocket fire into Israel, as well as of the construction of tunnels into Israel by militants.  Following the recent tunnel discovery, Israel suspended the transfer of construction material into Gaza, including for humanitarian projects.  While I recognize Israel’s legitimate security concerns, I urge Israel to ensure that the needs of the civilian population in Gaza are met.”

He added: “The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), a lifeline for millions of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and the region, continues to face serious financial difficulties.  I call on all donors, including new ones, to make or increase contributions to sustain UNRWA’s vital and indispensable operations.”
Salahaldin Abd al Shafi, the Palestinian ambassador to Austria read President Abbas message on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. He calls for a Palestinian state along pre-67 lines with East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital. Full text of his message is below.

PA Plundered 2.5 Billion Euros of EU Aid

Eu court of JusticeI repeatedly called the attention of the EU and member countries, in past articles, to the corruption of the PA and the transfer huge sums of EU tax-payer money to the so-called PA, which is run by professional thieves, to the looting these funds, which have been provided as support for the Palestinians since even before the establishment of the Palestinian Authority during the era which was called the “Palestinian Revolution”. See: EU Ignores Internal Problems and Donates Millions to the PA
I published several reports in which I highlighted the theft of funds provided to cover the expenses of the Palestinian social security system, the huge amounts of money supposedly sent into the social fund and which is purposed to provide the income of a month to the poor people, but was not paid out to the social beneficiaries in a timely manner.
“The EU and other friendly states provided money aids to the PA in order enable them to pay the benefits of the recipients of social security and retirement pensions. The EU helps to cover the allocation of 750 shekels monthly for each recipient of social security money, but because of the corruption and the thefts from these money pools, the social cases now receive their 750 shekels of social security money not monthly but once each three months.” See: Theft of the EU Social Allowances 
ensemble-batimentsIn addition, I pointed out how the PA is paying fictitious salaries to people who reside in Arab countries outside of Palestine, or to others with duplicated names, or to people who receive multiple salaries from several different PA institutions, or PA elements who use Palestinian funds to travel abroad and stay at luxury hotels to dancing parties celebrated under the names of occasions which concern Fatah, Abbas party, and lastly the practice of paying salaries to deceased people. For example, the transfer of payments to the (former) mistress of the deceased President Yasser Arafat, Rashida Mahran, an Egyptian woman who carried several names and who had personal and financial ties with several PA elements. Mahran had been living in Egypt for decades but was still receiving a monthly salary from the PA, even after she died on past November 2 2012. See: Corruption and the Mistresses of President Arafat /
Theft of the EU Social Allowances
 “Thousands of slots on the PA payroll are actually people who have never seen the doors of their supposed offices in Palestine; they are simply minions of the regime who live in luxury around the world. The same can be said of hundreds of diplomatic employees personnel in the EU and around the world, where minions and the corrupt as untalented relatives of the well-connected occupy offices far above their abilities and are paid far in excess of any supposedly rendered “services”. Over the years I have met enough Palestinian “employees” who, while receiving monthly salaries because the hold a certain position, I know for certain that they have never seen the embassies where they supposedly work from the inside.” http://www.kawther.info/wpr/2013/04/06/theft-of-the-eu-social-allowances
I forwarded my reports to EU officials and even wrote to office of Catherine Ashton, the vice-president and high representative of the Union for foreign affairs and security policy.
“… It is very clear that the EU donations reach ONLY a certain class of the Palestinians. Among the beneficiaries of the EU largesse are the President Abbas himself and his family, the other higher-ups in the PA and the PLO and their respective families, and assorted collaborators.
How does the EU explain, for example, what it means that President Abbas spends five million Euros monthly for the expenses of his house and family, and another five million Euros as travel expenses? The President Who Can Be Described As A Fat Cat
And how does the EU explain the causes of extreme poverty affecting beyond 70% of Palestinians while Abbas and his coterie of knaves and fat cats live in unimaginable luxury in Ramallah? …” Full letter to Ashton:http://www.kawther.info/wpr/2012/08/19/corruption-and-honor-killings-sponsored-by-the-eu
Today, after long years of PA corruption and theft of money paid by taxpayers of the European Union, at a time when a number of EU countries are on the brink of declaring bankruptcy, and after the fat cats of the PA, these well-known thieves have amassed plenty of wealth deposited in international banks and tax-havens, among them supposedly banks in the  Principality of Liechtenstein, the EU has begun to awaken from the deliberate slumber and deep silence on the massive theft of the PA, and has begun investigating the whereabouts of the plundered 2.5 Billion Euros which the EU has sent as aid to the PA. See: Supreme Judicial Council Steals 430.000 EUR From EU Donations
The sudden awakening of the EU is not innocent and it has nothing to do with ending the corruption, but it is being used as a stick to beat the fat cats of the PA and urge them to further renounce Palestinian national rights for the benefit of the zionist israeli occupation. The EU has also started to think how to replace some of the highest exponents of the PA and impose others (who are more corrupt and associated closer to the Israel occupation) like Muhammad Dahlan, a mossad operative and former commander of death squads in the Gaza Strip and who is currently residing in Dubai.
In a nutshell, the EU and EU countries involved in the PA corruption are mis-using EU taxpayer money to prop up a dictator and a corrupt gangster regime. There are doubts about EU officials involved in corruption of the Palestinian Authority, which did not start today, but which has extended over years under the cover of the EU officials. Below is a summary of what has been published about the disappearance of European funds by the Palestinian Authority:
The investigators drew comparisons to similar experiences of corruption and the poor utilization of aid money in Egypt, where a total amount of one billion euros has disappeared over the last six years
The Sunday Times newspaper in the UK has obtained a draft report by the EU that underlines the concern that the Palestinian Authority has lost 2.5 billion euros in aid over the last four years. The newspaper obtained the unpublished draft report from the European Court, an official EU institution based in Luxembourg, and disclosed its contents on Sunday.
According to the report, the EU transferred a total of 2.5 billion euros in aid between 2008 and 2012, but it does not know where the funds were directed.
The newspaper revealed that the EU recently sent a delegation to occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to investigate the way aid is being handled. The investigators confirmed, according to the report, the absence of any administrative procedures to prevent the exploitation of aid and expressed a real fear that the funds have been “misspent, squandered or lost to corruption”.
The investigators drew comparisons to similar experiences of corruption and the poor utilization of aid money in Egypt, where a total amount of one billion euros has disappeared over the last six years.

حذرنا مرار وتكرارا دول الإتحاد الأوروبي من تحويل مبالغ مالية ضخمة لما يسمى بالسلطة الفلسطينية التي يديرها لصوص محترفون في سرقة ونهب أموال الدعم المقدمة للشعب الفلسطيني منذ ما قبل تأسيس السلطة الفلسطينية, أي في عهد ما كان يسمى بالثورة الفلسطينية. نشرت تقاريرا عدة تحدثت فيها حول عدم وصول اموال المنح الأوروبية المقدمة للفقراء الفلسطينيين, وإقتطاع مبالغ ضخمة منها وتقديم راتب الشهر الواحد مرة كل ثلاثة شهور
نشرت تقاريرا متعددة تحدثت فيها حول عدم وصول الأموال المقدمة للفقراء الفلسطينيين, وإقتطاع مبالغ ضخمة منها وتقديم راتب الشهر الواحد مرة كل ثلاثة شهور, إضافة إلى دفع رواتب وهمية لموظفين ودبلوماسيين وأشخاص أموات يقيمون في بلاد عربية وأجنبية وأوروبية خارج فلسطين, وعلى سبيل المثال تحويل مبالغ مالية إلى عشيقة سابقة للرئيس عرفات, رشيدة مهران حتى بعد وفاتها في نوفمبر 2 2012
اليوم وبعد سنوات طويلة من الفساد وسرقة أموال دافعي الضرائب الأوروبية ممن تواجه بلدانهم أوضاعا إقتصادية سيئة قد تعلن بموجبها عدد من الدول الأوروبية إفلاسها, وبعد أن كون لصوص السلطة الفلسطينية رصيدا وافرا من الثروة المودعة في بنوك عالمية وأخرى في إمارة ليختنشتاين, بدات تفوق دول الإتحاد الأوروبي من سباتها العميق وسكوتها المتعمد الذي شكل غطاء واقيا لسرقات السلطة الفلسطينية, وشرعت اليوم تحقق في إختفاء بليونين ونصف
وأعتقد أن الصحوة المفاجئة لدول الأتحاد الأوروبي ليست بالنزيهة, وإنما إستخدمت كعصا من أجل جلد رموز في السلطة الفلسطينية وحثهم على تقديم مزيد من التنازل من الأرض الفلسطينية لصالح دولة الأحتلال الصهيوني خلال المفاوضات العقيمة السرية والعلنية التي يقودها رئيس منتهي الصلاحية منذ عام 2009, أي رئيس غير شرعي بموحب القانون الدولي
ويبدو أن دول الأتحاد ألوروبي التي يتربع على عرشها ويدير سياسيتها الخارجية دبلوماسيون من أصول يهودية, بدأوا يفكرون في إستبدال بعض رموز السلطة الفلسطينية وفرض آخرين آكثر فسادا وعمالة لإسرائيل منهم, أمثال عمبل الموساد الصهيونيي محمد دحلان, وهو أيضا قائد عصابات فرق الموت سابقا في قطاع غزة, ويقيم حاليا في دولة الأمارات العربية – دبي
وختصار شديد فأن دول الإتحاد الأوروبي متورطة في بعثرة أموال الضرائب الأوروبية, وتدور الشكوك أيضا حول تورط مسؤولين اوروبين في فساد السلطة الفلسطينية الذي لم يحدث طفرة, بل إمتد عبر سنوات طويلة من سكوت دول الإتحاد الأوروبي عليه وغطاءه دون حياء أو خجل
وفيما أدناه ملخص لما نشر حول إختفاء الأموال الأوروبية
هيئة أوروبية تحقق في اختفاء 2.5 مليار يورو وصلت السلطة الفلسطينية
    قالت ميدل إيست مونيتور نقلا عن صحيفة الصانداي تايمز البريطانية إنها حصلت على مسودة تقرير رسمي للاتحاد الأوربي يؤكد الخشية من اختفاء نحو 2.5 مليار يورو تم تحويلها للسلطة
ونوهت الصحيفة إلى أنها حصلت على مسودة لم تنشر بعد من تقرير صادر عن المحكمة الأوروبية للرقابة – وهي إحدى مؤسسات الاتحاد الأوروبي الرسمية ومقرها لوكسمبورج
ووفقا للتقرير المنشور أعلاه في هذا التقرير، فقد حول الاتحاد الأوربي ما مجموعه 2.5 مليار يورو بين عامي 2008 -2012، لكن لا يعرف أحد حتى اليوم إلى أين وصلت هذه المبالغ. (إضافة منا: اي سرقت ونهبت ودخلت أرقام حسابات متنفذين في سلطة عباس وشركاتهم)
وأشارت الصحيفة إلى وصول محققين من الاتحاد الأوربي مؤخرًا إلى شرقي القدس المحتلة والضفة الغربية وقطاع غزة، والذين بدورهم وصفوا طريقة إدارة أموال المساعدات “بالقاصرة جدا
وأكد المحققون، حسب التقرير، على عدم وجود أي إجراءات إدارية تحول دون الاستغلال السيئ للأموال، وقالوا إنّ هنالك خشية حقيقية من الاستغلال غير المشروع أو التبذير أو أن تلك الأموال اختفت بفعل عمليات فساد ضخمة
وتحدث المحققون عن حدوث حالات مشابهة من الفساد والاستغلال السيئ لأموال المساعدات في الأموال المحولة لمصر خلال السنوات الست الأخيرة، حيث اختفى ما مجموعة مليار يورو

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.
