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 Saint Jerome tells us that the obscurity was caused by the rays of the sun being suddenly withdrawn by divine power, as was the case in Egypt.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

Letter to President Abbas: The Ball Is Now In The Court Of Palestine

Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas holds up a letter to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon requesting Palestinian statehood at the 66th United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters in New YorkDear President Abbas,
We, the undersigned Palestinian and international human rights organizations, write to urge you to ensure that Palestine pursues the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) by promptly acceding to the Rome Statute and/or filing a further declaration accepting the Court’s jurisdiction over crimes committed on Palestinian territory from 1 July 2002.
Taking such steps could ensure access to international justice for victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on Palestinian territories, and would send an important message that such crimes cannot be committed with impunity.
As you know, following the UN General Assembly’s decision in November 2012 to upgrade Palestine’s status to “non-member observer state”, the ICC Office of the Prosecutor stated that the decision “does not cure the legal invalidity of [Palestine's] 2009 declaration” which accepted the ICC’s jurisdiction over acts committed on its territory since 1 July 2002, and that “at this stage, the Office has no legal basis to open a new preliminary examination.”
The Office stated that it was, therefore, not in a position to consider allegations of serious crimes committed in Palestine without further steps by your government. On this basis, the current ICC Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, has said that “the ball is now in the court of Palestine” to seek the court’s jurisdiction.
We understand the pressure that Palestine is under from Israel and the United States not to pursue the jurisdiction of the ICC, whether during or after the current US-sponsored negotiations with Israel. We are aware that even countries such as France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Canada, which are states parties to the ICC treaty and purport to seek its universal ratification, have, at times, opposed Palestine seeking access to the ICC.
We oppose these efforts to politicize justice for victims of serious crimes under international law, and urge you to resist them. Justice is an important end in its own right, preserving the rights of victims and affected communities regardless of the uncertain prospects for peace. The commission of war crimes with impunity has regularly undermined the peace process. A credible prosecution threat would help to advance the cause of peace.
Palestine’s accession in April to 20 international treaties and conventions was a significant and positive step, obliging the Palestinian government to respect, protect, and fulfill human rights, and requiring Palestinian forces to abide by international rules on armed conflict. Accession to the Rome Statute would be a vital further step towards protecting human rights by ensuring that the ICC can step in to address impunity when domestic authorities are genuinely unable or unwilling to do so.
Seeking the ICC’s jurisdiction over serious crimes committed on Palestinian territory should therefore be seen as an apolitical step towards ending impunity and could help deter future abuses.
The ICC represents an important tool for justice and effective remedies for victims. We urge you to seize it without any further delay.

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.

Mass Imposition Of Death Penalty in Egypt Outrageous

egypt death sentenceGENEVA – 29 April 2014 – UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay on Tuesday strongly condemned the shocking imposition of the death penalty on 683 individuals in Egypt yesterday after mass trials that she said clearly breached international human rights law.
“It is outrageous that for the second time in two months, the Sixth Chamber of the Criminal Court in Al-Minya has imposed the death sentence on huge groups of defendants after perfunctory trials,” she said.
“In defiance of worldwide pleas for Egypt to respect its human rights obligations after 529 people were sentenced to death in March by the same court, hundreds now face a similar fate at the hands of a judicial system where international fair trial guarantees appear to be increasingly trampled upon.”
“It is high time that Egypt takes its human rights commitments seriously,” Pillay added, noting in particular that Egypt has ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
According to information received, the 683 defendants were charged with killing a policeman and breaking into the Edwa police station in Al-Minya on 14 August 2013, among other charges. As in the previous cases, the exact charges against each defendant are not clear, given that they were not individually read out in court.
“The presumption of innocence is fundamental to the protection of human rights in a criminal trial,” Pillay said.
“It imposes on the prosecution the burden of proving the charge against each accused and it guarantees that no guilt can be presumed until the charge against him or her has been proved beyond reasonable doubt.”
“Instead of imposing death sentences wholesale, courts must ensure that accused individuals enjoy fair trials, including the benefit of doubt,” Pillay stressed.
Of the 529 people who were sentenced to death by the Sixth Chamber of the Criminal Court in Al-Minya on 24 March for killing a policeman and on various other charges, 37 had their sentences upheld by the court yesterday, while others reportedly received reduced sentences of 25 years, in itself excessive, and were fined EGP 20,000.
“The death penalty can only be applied for the most serious crimes and after the most stringent trial safeguards,” the High Commissioner said. “This has clearly not been the case in these two trials before the Al-Minya criminal court. A mass trial of hundreds of people, rife with procedural irregularities is simply not good enough for imposition of the death

Egypt: Shocking Death Sentences Follow Sham Trial

A day after more than 500 supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi were sentenced to death, and two days after Barak Obama’s administration has approved the shipment of Apache attack helicopters to the military junta that rules Egypt, an Egyptian court has opened another mass trial and 683 more Brotherhood supporters were sentenced to death among them Mohammed Badie, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Minya, Egypt – Agencies – Egypt has opened another mass trial of suspects with 683 defendants facing charges of murder and sabotage, including the Muslim Brotherhood’s top leader.
The defendants sentenced were accused of involvement in the murder and attempted murder of policemen in the southern Minya province last August.
A final capital punishment ruling was also handed down for 37 others, part of a judgment on 529 Muslim Brotherhood supporters who were recommended for a death sentence last month.
The remaining 492 death sentences have now been commuted to life in prison.
Seeking the death penalty for Mohammed Badie, the Brotherhood’s general guide, is certain to raise tension in Egypt, which has been gripped by turmoil since the army removed the Brotherhood from power last year.
Proceedings were held in the southern city of Minya, where just the day before the same court handed down death sentences to 529 supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi over a deadly attack on a police station. That verdict followed a rushed, two-day trial that drew wide public and international criticism.
Only 60 of the 683 defendants were in the dock on Tuesday. The rest are being tried in absentia. The Brotherhood’s spiritual guide did not appear in court, with authorities citing security reasons.
apacheOn April 23 2014, Obama’s administration has approved the shipment of Apache attack helicopters to the military junta that rules Egypt. The decision was communicated to the military regime April 22 by defense secretary Chuck Hagel in a phone call to the Egyptian minister of defense, General Sedki Sobhy.
Hagel also told his Egyptian counterpart that US Secretary of State John Kerry will soon certify to Congress that “Egypt is sustaining the strategic relationship and is meeting its obligations under the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty.” These certifications are required under US law to permit the continuation of US military aid.
The ten Apache helicopters are “in support of Egypt’s counterterrorism operations in the Sinai,” according to a Pentagon press release, but there is no restriction on their use once the weapons are in Egyptian hands. The murderous gunships can be redeployed from strafing restive Bedouin tribesmen along the border with Israel to massacring demonstrators in cities like Cairo, Alexandria and Suez.
The US will continue to withhold certain weapons, including F-16 fighter jets, M-1 tanks and Harpoon missiles, whose shipment has been suspended since the July 2013 coup that overthrew the elected president of Egypt, Mohammed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Death Sentences Breach International Law
Earlier, the UN human rights commissioner has condemned an Egyptian court’s decision to sentence to death 528 supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
A spokesman for Navi Pillay said the “cursory mass trial” was “rife with procedural irregularities” and breached international human rights law.
On March 22, 2014, the criminal court in Minya, Egypt sentenced 529 people to death. It was the largest mass death sentence in recent years anywhere, in a trial lacking basic due process protections.
The vast majority of defendants were tried in absentia, took place in under an hour. The prosecution did not put forward evidence implicating any individual defendant, even though it had compiled significant evidence during its investigations and the court prevented defense lawyers from presenting their case or calling witnesses, three of the defense lawyers told Human Rights Watch. A second summary session was held two days later solely to announce the verdict.
It’s shocking even amid Egypt’s deep political repression that a court has sentenced 529 people to death without giving them any meaningful opportunity to defend themselves. The Minya court failed to carry out its most fundamental duty to assess the individual guilt of each defendant, violating the most basic fair trial right. These death sentences should be immediately quashed.Human Rights Watch.

إدانات دولية واسعة لأحكام الإعدام الجماعية في مصر
لقي قرار محكمة مصرية إحالة أوراق مرشد الإخوان و682 آخرين إلى المفتي تمهيدا للحكم بإعدامهم ردود فعل غاضبة، وعبرت الأمم المتحدة عن “هلعها” من القرار, في حين عبرت الإدارة الأمريكية عن انزعاجها، واعتبرتها السويد قرارات “شائنة”, فيما وصفتها منظمة “هيومان رايتس ووتش” بأنها أكبر أحكام الإعدام في تاريخ العالم الحديث

الأمن المصري يقود خيرة الشباب إلى معسكرات الإبادة الجماعية
الأمم المتحدة هلعة
وقال المكتب الإعلامي للأمم المتحدة في بيان إن الآمين العام للمنظمة الدولية بان كي مون عبر عن الهلع اليوم الاثنين من التقارير عن أن محكمة مصرية احالت إلى المفتي اوراق المرشد العام لجماعة الإخوان المسلمين المحظورة و682 من المؤيدين
وقال البيان: يشعر الأمين العام بالهلع من الانباء عن إصدار عقوبة اعدام جماعي أولية أخرى اليوم في مصر.. وكانت الاولى من هذا القبيل يوم 24 مارس
وأضاف البيان: الاحكام التي يبدو واضحا أنها لا تفي بمعايير المحاكمة النزيهة… وخاصة تلك التي تفرض عقوبة الاعدام.. من المرجح ان تقوض احتمالات الاستقرار على المدى الطويل
ووصفت جماعة الاخوان المسلمين في بيان صدر في لندن الحكم بأنه صادم وأنها ستواصل “استخدام كل الوسائل السلمية لانهاء الحكم العصكري” في مصر
البيت الابيض “منزعج بشدة” من أحكام الاعدام في مصر
من جانبه، قال البيت الابيض إن الولايات المتحدة “منزعجة بشدة” من القرار، وأضاف في بيان إن “قرار اليوم. مثل ذلك الصادر الشهر الماضي. يتحدى المعايير الاساسية للعدالة الدولية. الحكومة المصرية مسؤولة عن ضمان حصول كل مواطن على الاجراءات الواجبة بما في ذلك الحق في محاكمة عادلة تقدم فيها الادلة بوضوح وحق الحصول على محام
وأضاف: نحث الحكومة المصرية على انهاء استخدام المحاكمات الجماعية والتراجع عن هذه العقوبات الجماعية وايضا العقوبات السابقة وضمان حصول كل مواطن على الاجراءات الواجبة
هيومات رايتس: أكبر أحكام الإعدام في تاريخ العالم الحديث
ووصفت المدير التنفيذي للشرق الأوسط وشمال افريقيا في منظمة “هيومن رايتس ووتش”، ساره ليا ويتسون، القرارات بأنها “يمكن أن تكون أكبر أحكام الإعدام في تاريخ العالم الحديث. وبينما هي استثنائية في ضخامتها فإنها ليست استثنائية في نوعها.”وأضافت: يبدو أن الغرض من هذه الأحكام هو بث الخوف والرعب في قلوب الذين يعارضون الحكومة المؤقتة
السويد: محاكمات شائنة
وفي رد فعل سريع من حكومة غربية، كتب وزير الخارجية السويدي كارل بيلت في حسابه على تويتر يقول إن المحاكمات الجماعية “شائنة”. واضاف “لا بد أن يرد العالم وسوف يفعل
وقد قررت محكمة مصرية اليوم الاثنين إحالة أوراق المرشد العام لجماعة الإخوان المسلمين محمد بديع و682 آخرين إلى المفتي تمهيدا للحكم بإعدامهم لإدانتهم في قضية اضطرابات وقعت بمحافظة المنيا جنوبي القاهرة في أغسطس آب
ومن شأن هذا الحكم أن يضيق الخناق على الجماعة ويفجر احتجاجات وأعمال عنف سياسي قبل انتخابات الرئاسة المقرر إجراؤها الشهر المقبل
ووصفت الجماعة في بيان صدر في لندن الحكم بأنه “صادم” وقالت إنها “ستواصل استعمال مختلف الوسائل السلمية لإنهاء الحكم العسكري
وفي قضية أخرى قضت محكمة القاهرة للأمور المستعجلة يوم الاثنين بحظر أنشطة حركة 6 ابريل المطالبة بالديمقراطية والتي قامت بدور في إشعال الانتفاضة التي أطاحت بالرئيس الأسبق حسني مبارك عام 2011
ومن شأن الحكم بإحالة أوراق بديع إلى المفتي إثارة غضب جماعة الإخوان التي يتعرض أعضاؤها لملاحقة الأجهزة الأمنية منذ عزل الرئيس محمد مرسي المنتمي لجماعة الإخوان في يوليو تموز بعد احتجاجات حاشدة على حكمه

The US is Always Looking To Foment Wars

American soldiersThe United States government is always looking to foment wars. We can see this in the way the State was formed, how treaties were crumpled so that new aggressions could be launched. We can see this in the endless wars of this government, as well as in the “War on” the prevalent illegal disease called Drug Addiction: brought to you by the United States government who has been continually implicated in the lucrative Drug Trade – though, they don’t report on such things.
The United States government is always looking to foment wars. The Entertainment System of this country floods our eyes with wars, with violence, with murder, with destruction. (..Ever heard the saying “Monkey See, Monkey Do”?) The News System of this country reports on violence like, all things being equal, it would prefer to gorge on blood.
The United States government is always looking to foment wars. Wars with Muslims, wars with Iraqis, Vietnamese, Pakistanis, Chileans, Venezuelans, Cubans, Russians, Somalis, the Black Panther Party, Communists, Socialists, the list goes on and on.
The United States government is always looking to foment wars. Why won’t anyone here say it? Why, in this country are we so willing to gloss over the layers of criminality we are surrounded with? Why does anyone have any trust in this government at all? Why do the “free-est” people in the world speak the LEAST truth?
The United States government discusses proposals about militarizing the border with Mexico even more, adding tens of billions of dollars. They are looking to move in the guns and the jeeps, to pay for bullets, to erect walls and spy towers. They are looking to draw a line of guns across a border they made up, a border that in actual reality doesn’t even exist: just ask an Indigenous Person whose historical memory stretches back more than 150 years! Who knows how the Land stretches, how it was not so long ago, knows how deeply peace can live in the Desert here.
But yes, the United States government is always looking to build upon its destruction, to create destruction upon destruction, and simultaneously flood us with messages that it’s about Freedom, Democracy, Justice, and Security.
The people of the United States are some of the least politically sophisticated people in the world, living under one of the most politically sophisticated governments: this is not a coincidence. The United States government is well-known for its brutality (though you’ll rarely hear it talked about) and it appears to be an addiction: it enacts this brutality far and wide, on many levels. Many people in the United States live in a constant state of anxiety and fear, and they put their trust in a warmonger, and they make agreements like: it’s preferable to be entertained than to create healthy societies.
Sometimes in this country I just feel like screaming: Look at yourselves! Do you call that Life? What is the trade that makes this hell worth it? I want to scream: Don’t you care about anybody, anything?
I see that people care but the impotence with which people in the United States live their lives begs to be analyzed. I hope people from throughout the world will speak up on the United States government and society. Because it’s a sickness, and it needs to stop spreading.
Conscious people in the United States need to start living with our hearts instead of our heads, and – get outside the colonial mentality! It doesn’t all just boil down into dollars and cents. The alternatives to the hell of the United States are plentiful, probably endless. We don’t need to support this tyrant people call a democracy, hand on their hearts, and the rockets’ red glare. We do not need to support this government.
We need to create lots of alternatives that live the kind of lives that people should live and understand that we are ALL connected.
We need to make healing a priority and find new ways of “leadership” that doesn’t disempower and alienate so many of us.
We need to deal with the brutal colonial history of this country and support Indigenous rights, vision, and struggles: this is an absolute necessity to dealing with truth. Break with the system, go with the people all over the world who want to be free. Author of the article: Chelli Stanley

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
