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 Saint Jerome tells us that the obscurity was caused by the rays of the sun being suddenly withdrawn by divine power, as was the case in Egypt. The darkness in Egypt during the Passover of Moses was due to God's protection withdrawn from that land at that time.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 –

And see: The Plagues will be real - Three Looks at the 16th Chapter of the Book of the Revelation

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.

Ukraine Crisis Dominates the European Ministers' Talks in Vienna

The Foreign Ministers of all 47 member states representing of the Council of Europe met today at the Hofburg in Vienna. The meeting was chaired by Sebastian Kurz, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Austria and Chairman of the Committee of Ministers.

The meeting was also attended by the Russian foreign Minister Mr. Sergei Lavrov and the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia. As side of the meeting, the Russian and the Ukrainian ministers held separate press conferences in which the general atmosphere reflected that peace between the two conflicted countries is far a way.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said: “We are confident that an exit from the crisis exists. It may be found only on the basis of nationwide dialogue”. He added that the dialogue must be held between the western and eastern parts of Ukraine and that it would be “unusual” to hold a presidential election in Ukraine while the government was deploying the army against some of its people.

Minister Lavrov also demanded that Ukrainian government troops end their armed assaults on rebel strongholds, as fighting flared for control of the strategic eastern city of Slovyansk.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Deshchytsia stated that Ukraine is ready to back a new round of talks in Geneva in a bid to de-escalate a political crisis with Russia as long as the government in Moscow supports presidential elections on 25 May.

He added: “If Russia is ready to commit itself to support these elections and to eliminate this threat and eliminate its support for the extremist elements in Ukraine, we are ready to have such a round of meetings,” he told a news conference.

Earlier, when he arrived at the morning, the British Foreign Minister William Hague told reporters that Russia was trying to disrupt Ukraine’s planned presidential election. He said: “Russia seems to be intent to hinder and prevent the elections in Ukrania”. He added: “I think there will be a very strong message from the great majority of countries here today that Ukrainian elections must be allowed to go ahead”.

Minister Hague also criticized the executions sentences in Egypt, in which an Egyptian court sentenced over 1200 people to death. He said that the EU countries have a unified view against the death penalty and the violation of human rights. He called on the Egyptian authorities to reconsider the death sentences and to not implement them.

Ukraine’s presidential election is set to take place on May 25 but Moscow has called the vote “absurd”, while separatists in Ukraine are preparing their own independence referendum on Sunday.

Austrian Foreign Minister Kurz said that nearly all ministers called for free and fair elections as a step to stabilize Ukraine.

He told reporters: “You cannot expect miracles from the conference because there won’t be any, but hopefully, and this is my expectation, there will be clear backing from most countries for orderly and free (presidential) elections on May 25, because this could be a small step towards stabilizing the country”.

Promoting a Cheap, Fake Israeli-Palestinian State in Zurich

دولة فلسطينية – إسرائيلية بثمن بخس في زيورخ

At a time when I consider myself one of the most vocal opponents of so-called “peace negotiations”, the “Oslo Agreement” and all new “agreements” that may be signed by the so-called Palestinian “president” Mahmoud Abbas, by the so-called “Palestinian Authority” which does not represent the Palestinian people but is merely a branch of the Fatah movement.

At a time when most Palestinians see the so-called “peace negotiations” as illegitimate and illegal under Palestinian laws and also under international laws, accords and traditions because they are taking place under a “president” whose presidency expired in January, 2009 but is imposing himself and his coterie of thieves on Palestinians and Palestine, claiming that he represents us while imposing the “peace negotiations” which only favour the zionists, forcing upon us a “negotiator”, a narcissist called Saeb Erekat who since over 23 years has been extremely successful at imposing the American-zionist-western will on Palestinians, against our interests, even going back to them to sell them Palestine as if it were his own property in instances where the “agreements” were deemed not favorable enough to the zionists. So, common Palestinians saw their property, farms, cows etc. sold behind their backs while the Palestinians themselves are reduced to slavery, thrown into jail, murdered or exiled while Abbas, Erekat and their henchmen get rich.

That is why I, like most Palestinians, consider any agreement signed by “President” Abbas, israel and the United States is illegitimate and non-binding to any Palestinian, in the future or even tomorrow.

Given this factual background I was very surprised to hear that a group of individuals, unknown to Palestinians and even to israelis, people who have never played any role in liberating Palestine and who neither have influence on the public opinion in Palestine or israel, are presenting themselves as savers of Palestine as well as all Palestinians and jews by promoting a hilarious project, raising funds from here and there using the Palestinian suffering and organizing a conference under the banner of “One Democratic State in Palestine-Israel”.

The conference of these people is supposed to be held in Zürich on 17-18 May, they are apparently selling tickets for their show at the entrance of the venue, apparently for 35 to 70 Euro (or perhaps dollars?), what is not clear in their advertising material.

What is important to consider in relation to such a ”state”, product of the of imagination, superstitions, illusions and hunger of money of these people is that it nests exclusively in their minds and that nothing will come out of it, as the main talent of these people unknown to either Palestinians or israelis, appears to be in the commercial realm, where it is important to known how to make a quick buck off of the aspirations of others.

Further information about the 35-Euro “state” of these talented quick-buckers can be gathered from the advert shown below.

دولة فلسطينية – إسرائيلية بثمن بخس في زيورخ

في الوقت الذي أعتبر فيه نفسي واحدة من أشد المعارضين لما يسمى ب “مفاوضات السلام” و “اتفاق أوسلو” وجميع “الاتفاقات” الجديدة التي قد توقع من قبل ما يسمى ب “الرئيس” الفلسطيني محمود عباس، و”السلطة الفلسطينية” وكلاهما لا يمثلان الشعب الفلسطيني وإنما يمثلان فرعا من فروع حركة فتح

وفي الوقت الذي يرى فيه الفلسطينيون أن ما يسمى ب “مفاوضات السلام” إنما هي مفاوضات غير شرعية, وغير قانونية بموجب القوانين الفلسطينية, وأيضا في إطار القوانين الدولية، لكونها تجري في ظل “رئيس” انتهت ولايته الرئاسية منذ أعوام, وتحديدا في يناير 2009, ومع هذا فما زال يفرض نفسه وزمرته على فلسطين والفلسطينيين دون حياء أو وازه من ضمير. مدعيا تمثيلهم ومحاولا فرض “مفاوضات سلام” جهنمية عليهم, تخدم في مجملها مصالح الكيلن الصهيوني

وفي وقت يفرض فيه عباس, السيد صائب عريقات, وهو أمريكي من أصل فلسطيني, على الفلسطينيين كمفاوض وحيد منذ أكثر من 25 عاما, تماما لو أن الله الذي خلق عريقات توقف عنده, ولم يعد قادرا على خلق فلسطيني آخر أكثر كفاءة منه والعياذ بالله؟؟

وفي وقت يواصل فيه “الرئيس” عباس التعامل مع فلسطين كإقطاعية ومزرعة خاصة به, والشعب الفلسطيني كعبيد يعمل لديه

وفي الوقت الذي لا يدري فيه الفلسطينيون ما يطبخه عباس وعريقات من خلف ظهورهم وفي غياهب الظلام في البيت الأسود والأبيض والأخمر والأخضر في بلاد الله الواسعة وتل ربيع المحتلة “تل أبيب”, وفي ظل غياب المصارحة والشفافية في التعامل مع الشعب الفلسطيني

ورغم هذا وذاك, ورغم النقد اللاذع والتمرد على المفاوضات والقائمين عليها, إلا أن أيا من الفلسطينيين الأحرار لن يقبل في أي حال من الأحوال, وبأي ثمن, ما خرجت به تلك “الشلة” من الفلسطينيين والإسرائيليين, التي باتت تطرح نفسها منقذا وحيدا لفلسطين والشعب الفلسطيني, من خلال مؤتمرات مدفوعة الثمن تمولها جهات غربية تدعو إلى إقامة ما يسمى ب “دولة” ديمقراطية فلسطينية – إسرائيلية

الشلة الجديدة, والوجوه التي باتت تطرح نفسها في أوروبا منذ زمن فصير, وربما سنوات, وستعيد طرح نفسها ما بين 17 – 18 مايو / أيار القادم في مدينة “زيورخ” شريطة أن يدفع كل فلسطيني ويهودي وحليف أجنبي لتلك “الشلة” مبلغا وقدره 35 – 70 يورو ليشاهد طلات فطاحل ’خر زمان ويستمع إلى هلوساتهم

نقول بملء الكلمة – يئس “الشلة”, وبئس الدولة الفلسطينية – الإسرائيلية, الديمقراطية القادمة على أيديهم,, بئس المؤتمر وبئس المنظمين والداعمين له. ففلسطين وشعبها سادتي ستبقى عصية علي مشاريع التصفيات والقائمين عليها مهما علا أو قل شأنهم

The Ugly Face of Egypt After The Military Coup

الوجه القبيح لمصر بعد الإنقلاب العسكري – جامعة الأزهر على طريق الهاوية تسير – والعدالة تحولت لدمية قبيحة في يد العسكر؟

The entire Egyptian society was shocked and dismayed to see Al-Azhar University students were sentenced to prison terms of 17 years and a fine of 64 thousand each, (about $ 92400) because of a peaceful protest against the dictator leader of Al Azhar. The students were tried for allegedly trying to break into their own university. Meanwhile, those who kill or torture people or threaten the public with deadly weapons are not brought to trial or even jailed.

The undersigned organizations are strongly condemn the verdict by Al Gamaleya court of misdemeanor in case no. 7332/2013 on 12 November 2013 to sentence 12 students at El Azhar university to 17 years in prison and a bail of LE 6400 (US $9292) for non-implementation of the sentence.

The students had last been arrested during their demonstrations in front of the Azhar chiefdom on 30 October while protesting the arrest of a number of their colleagues and to express their opposition to the current authority, which they consider illegitimate. During their protest, members of Azhar security attacked the students with knives, arrested a number of them and held them inside the Azhar chiefdom premises before handing them over to the El Gamaleya police. The police documented the incident and summoned the prosecution, which then interrogated the students inside the police station.

The undersigned organizations recognize that the arrest of the students and putting them to trial is a violation of the right to demonstration and freedom of expression. The harsh sentences and conditioning their release with payment of such a high bail is a violation of the right to a fair trial. The undersigned organizations also reiterate that demonstration and expression of opinion through peaceful means is a human right, which Egyptian authorities must respect and protect and that the current political conflict in Egypt should not be used as a pretext to violate the right of any person to a fair trial.

Based on the above, the undersigned organizations believe that the respective court was at fault in its impartial implementation of the law and supporting the freedom of individuals. Aside from the accusations made by the prosecution against those students, whether true or false, the court has dealt with cruelty against the sentenced students, by punishing them for all charges raised by the public prosecution, despite all the charges being related to their arrest during their protest in front of Al Azhar chiefdom. This is considered a flagrant violation of the provisions of the Egyptian penal code which obliges criminal courts, in the case of indivisible, multiple crimes for the same purpose, to consider them all one crime and sentence the maximum penalty for those crimes.

Also, the court ordered the students to pay a bail of LE 64000 as a condition to stop the execution of the sentence and their release until the time of appeal, scheduled for 4 February 2014. Only one student could afford to pay this sum, while the rest of the students are still in detention until now. This very high sum for a bail and the remote date set for the appeal, according to which the students will remain in prison, indicates a tendency to harass those students, raising the possibility of a vengeful nature of the verdict, politically motivated and totally unrelated to the necessary respect and indiscriminate enforcement of justice.

The undersigned organizations believe that the security-driven policy towards the students’ movement at the current time threatens the independence of the university and the future of students’ rights and freedoms in Egypt, and raises concerns regarding the imposition of a tight security grip on campus life. During previous months, university administrations have abandoned reacting to student breaches though the specified disciplinary punitive measures and decided it was easier to leave the students prey to the authority of the police, with no regard to the impact this may have on their educational career or its impact on the escalation of acts of violence inside universities as well as deepen the rapidly increasing societal split in view of the ongoing political conflict.

Finally, the undersigned organizations call upon Al Azhar University to fully bear its responsibility and to immediately intervene and pay the necessary bails to release the students sentenced in the above mentioned case. Otherwise its position would indicate approval of the detention of those students until the time of their appeal, a matter of grave consequence to their academic career.

To learn more about the cause, kindly watch this video from the Association of Freedom of Thought and Expression’s (AFTE) press conference in solidarity with El Azhar students.

بدى الوجه القبيح لجمهورية مصر العربية الذي رسمه العسكر, يتشكل بوضوح ويخرج للعلن في صورة قبيحة مسيئة للبلاد ومسيرتها الديمقراطية التي خطت نحوها خطوات متعثرة في عهد الديكتاتور المخلوع حسني مبارك, وذلك في أعقاب المهزلة في الحكم الصادر بحق 12 من طلاب جامعة الأزهر ممن تظاهروا بأسلوب حضاري أما حرم الجامعة التي يدرسون فيها

محكمة جنح الجمالية, حكمت يوم 13 من الشهر الجاري بالسجن بحق الطلبة المعتقلين عشوائيا (سبعة عشر عامًا وكفالة مالية تزيد 64 ألف جنيه؟؟) الأمر الذي هز مقولة نزاهة العدالة وأعاد مصر إلى عصور الظلام والديكتاتورية التي لم تعرفها عهود الأحتلال أو حتى في عصور الإنحطاط الحجري

مؤسسة حرية الفكر والتعبير، نظمت يوم أمس الاثنين، مؤتمرًا صحفيًا للتضامن مع طلاب الأزهر المحكوم عليهم بالسجن سبعة عشر عامًا وكفالة 64 ألف جنيه لإيقاف التنفيذ لحين الاستئناف، حيث كانت الأحكام بالحبس لمدة ٣ سنوات و٣٠ ألف جنيه كفالة لكل منهم في تهمة التجمهر، وفي تهمة البلطجة حبس ٣ سنوات وكفالة ٣٠ ألف جنيه، وتهمة التعدي على موظفين عموميين بالحبس ٣ سنوات وكفالة ألف جنيه لكل منهم، أما بالنسبة لتهمة إتلاف الممتلكات العامة حبس ٣ سنوات وكفالة ألف جنيه، وتهمة إتلاف الممتلكات الخاصة حبس سنتين وكفالة ألف جنيه، وتهمة حيازة أدوات تستعمل في الاعتداء على الأشخاص ٣ سنوات وكفالة ألف جنيه

وقال أحمد عزت، مدير الوحدة القانونية بمؤسسة حرية الفكر والتعبير، إن الشرطة زعمت اعتداء الطلاب على الموظفين ومبنى مشيخة الأزهر، خلال مظاهرة في 30 أكتوبر الماضي، ولا توجد في الأحراز أي أسلحة أو قنابل مولوتوف، بينما كانت عبارة عن “مجموعة من الأدوية، وزجاجات الخل، وأقنعة واقية من الغاز المسيل للدموع”، أي أن الأحراز التي قدمتها الشرطة تدل أن الطلاب كانوا يعبرون عن آرائهم بشكل سلمي، بالإضافة إلى القبض على الطلاب وقع بشكل عشوائي

وأضاف مدير الوحدة القانونية بالمؤسسة أن الأحكام في مثل هذه القضايا التي تتعدد فيها الاتهامات، لا تقبل التجزئة، وأشد عقوبة يمكن توقعها من المحكمة هي 3 سنوات على تهمة التجمهر، وتضمن الحكم مبلغ ضخم للكفالة (64 ألف جنيه لكل طالب)، يثبت أن الحكم القضائي مُسيس وبدافع الانتقام، وتعجيز الطلاب عن دفع هذه المبالغ الباهظة، ومن ثم عدم تمكنهم من حضور الامتحانات

وشدد «عزت» قائلًا كان ينبغي على القاضي التأني قبل إصدار حكم على الطلاب بهذه الرعونة الشديدة وبدون دراسة كافية، بدلًا من إصداره الحكم في الجلسة الأولى للمحاكمة، فهذا الحكم مؤشر خطير على عدم تحقيق العدالة وإهدار قيم القانون. كما أنه دليل على أن الجامعة لم تطبق على طلابها اللوائح الجامعية والتأديبية وتركتهم فريسة سهلة للشرطة، مما يوضح أن الجامعة في الآونة الأخيرة باتت تستخدم سياسة في غاية السوء، تؤدي إلى زيادة العنف والاحتقان وإهدار مبدأ استقلال الجامعات

The Combat Against Unemployment Must Take Priority in Europe

21.08.2013 – Austrian Federal Chancellor Werner Faymann and Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta said Wednesday during a press conference held at the federal chancellery in Vienna that the fight against unemployment must take priority in Europe. The unemployment rate in the EU was climbed in May 2013 and reached 11% since the start of the euro crisis. In Italy, the jobless rate is over 12% and around four in 10 young people aged 15-24 are out of work.

Chancellor Faymann satated that Austria and Italy have been united by very good neighborly cooperation for many decades through which we have distinguished ourselves particularly in hard times. We have many common goals, e.g. our commitment to employment and economic growth in Europe.

Chancellor Faymann said: “Despite conservative spending policies, the governments also had to focus on investments. We have to make funds available and use them for targeted areas such as education, research, development and infrastructure. This is the only approach allowing us to create and secure jobs succesfully”,

Prime Minister Enrico Letta also said that that the fight against unemployment will be at “the heart of the Italian semester” when Italy assumes the presidency of the European Union in the second half of 2014. He added: “Austria is a role model in combating unemployment – Chancellor Faymann is one of the heads of government with the greatest authority in the European Council”

Italy assumes the EU presidency July-December 2014. The year 2014 will be “historic for Europe” and it would be a “paradox” if Italy missed such an opportunity said Prime Minister Letta.

Meeting a Fellow Palestinian At a Government Event

علم فلسطيني في إحتفال وزير الصحة النمساوي حصل على أعلى وسام شرف تمنحه النمسا – يتبع غدا

Minister Alois Stöger speaks with Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Elmadfa

Austrian Health Minister Alois Stöger held yesterday 4 July a musical reception for the attendees of the “WHO European Ministerial Conference on Nutrition and Noncommunicable Diseases in the Context of Health 2020 conference” at the beautiful Museum of the Natural History. Among the guests of the Minister Stöger were over 25 ministers, diplomats, experts, and representatives of international organizations, civil society and NGOs from around the world.

At the start of the ceremony, Minister Stöger and Ms. Zsuzsanna Jakab, Director of the World Health Organization’s Regional Office for Europe in Copenhagen, delivered briefs in which they welcomed the guests and highlighted the importance of the conference at hand, which addresses nutrition and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the context of Health 2020 and focuses on how policy making can support implementation together with the commitments outlined in the Action Plan for the Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable diseases.

Ms. Jakab called two professors to go to the platform speeches, Univ. Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Elmadfa and Prof. W. Philip James. She said without Dr. Elmadfa and Prof. James, there would have been no conference. She introduced them to the audience and gave them gifts in the presence of minister Stöger

During the event I met Prof. Dr. Elmadfa, director of the Institute of Nutrition in Vienna, Austria and President of the International Union of Nutritional Sciences (IUNS).

A short discussion with him revealed him as a Palestinian and a genius personality who by his own work and intellectual merits managed became a recognized partner of international institutions, and now holds the position of University Professor and president of an institute. I felt deeply honoured and proud to meet this fellow Palestinian who has found his way and place in his new homeland.

Dr. Elmadfa is a Palestinian, he is originate from Jaffa, a city which the zionist forces captured and depopulated in 1948. His family was forced to move to Egypt when he was of age five. After all these years Dr. Elmadfa still remembers his departure from Jaffa to the camps in the Sinai desert. He relates: “they put us in a small truck on the top of each other and threw us out into a camps in the Egyptian desert, where we spent six months. Then they forced us to move again, this time they threw into the Gaza Strip and told us “Gaza is your new homeland”.

Sadly there was only short time to talk with Dr. Elmadfa, after a minute I had to release him to enjoy the party with his friends. During our short conversation, Dr. Elmadfa he told me that he holds two nationalities but that he is sad to be without a Palestinian nationality because there is no Palestinian State yet

In April 2013, Dr. Elmadfa was awarded the big Silver Medal For Merit For the Republic of Austria by the federal President for his academic achievements in area of nutrition sciences.

Israel Exports Impure Magnesium To USA

During an interesting interview with Dr. Shawqi Harb at the 27th International Medical Convention of NAAMA held on June 29 – July 4, 2013 at Hilton Hotel in Vienna, he exposed how the israeli government exports impure Magnesium to the USA and how one of his sons, working at a chemical laboratory for testing products, discovered the manipulation of the product by the israelis.

He said that israel exports Magnesium to United States, which is supposed to be pure, clarifying that the laws of the USA do not allow any products to enter the country before being tested. He pointed out that all the tests showed that israel exports impure Magnesium to USA. The test results were a threat to the israeli scam.

He added that, instead that israel would stop exporting fiddled Magnesium to the US, they decided to send a delegation to meet the person who made the tests of their products and see if they could bribe him, adding that it was difficult for the israelis to identify his son as a Palestinian because of his title, position, and also the way how he looks. When the israeli delegation arrived his sons office, they told him that they were “the Israeli delegation and we are here to discuss the issue of your reports about the non-pure Magnesium”.

His son made the way short and introduced himself in Hebrew, saying: “I am from Ramallah”. From there everything went downstairs. The israeli “delegation team” started acting in a completely crazy fashion. They immediately called their accomplices in Israel and everywhere, screaming that they were “victims of a Palestinian”.

Dr. Harb said that in USA, laws and rules are always above everybody, and in this case, fortunately the rule of law prevailed over the israeli corruption attempts.
