| Egyptian journalists hold rally to praise murderer of IDF soldiersnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 06 Jun 04:45 AM While Egyptian media has remained a | | While Egyptian media has remained almost silent about the terror attack that killed three Israeli soldiers on Saturday, Felesteen reports that the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate held a rally of support - for the murderer.
According to the report, hundreds of Egyptian journalists demonstrated in downtown Cairo in solidarity with the Egyptian police officer, Mohamed Salah Ibrahim, chanting slogans praising his terror attack near the Egyptian border.
The journalists chanted slogans praising the courage of the "martyr," while others called for supporting Palestinians.
It appears that this rally had already been planned as an anti-normalization rally beforehand, and the attack gave it some extra chanting opportunities. This gives you an idea of how objective Egyptian journalists are - when they are not censored. Meanwhile, the killer was given a hero's funeral. المصريون يودعون الشهيد محمد صلاح الذي قام بتحييد ثلاثة من جنود الاحتلال بالهتافات والتكبير والتهليل #الجندى_المصري...Read More |
From Ian: Germany's Siemens Facing American Scrutiny for Agreeing To Boycott Israel Germany-based conglomerate Siemens agreed to boycott Israeli products to secure a $360 million deal to provide Turkey with high-speed trains, according to copy of the contract obtained by a pro-Israel watchdog group that contradicts months of public denials from the company. The agreement, which includes a signature and seal from Siemens, has a provision that "providers of goods and works, and their associates and subcontractors, shall be in strict compliance with the Boycott Regulations of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the League of Arab States, and the Organization of the African Union." The Organization of the Islamic Conference enforces a boycott of Israel. The news could raise legal issues for Siemens in the United States, where multiple states have instituted financial penalties for companies that participate in anti-Israel boycotts. The Zachor Legal Institute, the watchdog group that obtained a copy of the contract, said it has added Siemens to its list of scrutinized companies. "Although modern-day Siemens has expressed regret for their use of forced labor during the Nazi regime, this new evidence of boycotting Israel indicates that this company is still willing to prioritize profits by engaging in economic warfare, this time against the Jewish...Read More |
Nablus in the 1960s
Excerpts from a story in Rai al Youm from a girl who witnessed the Six Day War in Nablus: Sirens are blaring and my father is screaming and ordering us to go to the shelter. The shelter is a garage at the bottom of the house, and we put some necessities in it like first aid and some food and water.. President Gamal Abdel Nasser told us that we will be victorious and we love him. Yes, we love him in all his speeches. We sit and listen to every word of his speech emanating from the radio that is in our salon. From the morning, patriotic songs resound in the sky. The Egyptian radio announces that we have weapons. Land, sea and air..and we have the conquering and victorious missiles..and the promising…!! that will reach the depths of the Zionist entity in the homeland.. Ahmed Saeed - who does not know him!! He shouts on the Voice of the Arabs radio station, we will be victorious!! Yes, I am sure that we will be victorious over them. The Arab armies of Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Iraq are ready on land and in the air. Composers, artists, and poets are also gathered, so the radio building has become like a beehive in the morning, and patriotic songs are ringing loudly. Here it is, Umm Kulthum and Abdel Wahhab, singing a song. I now have a gun.. and what gun..! And...Read More |
Lebanese Al-Ahed News, which is a Hezbollah mouthpiece, writes about a conference in Tunisia to honor those who fought and supported the effort to crush the Jewish state. The photo at the headline shows Jewish, not Arab, fighters so we know right off the bat not to expect any truth here. The researcher, Saniya Muhammad, from Libya, presented a speech on the participation of Libyans in the 1948 war, and referred to the rich lessons that we learn from this experience by presenting its results. In a statement to Al-Ahed News, she said, "I spoke in my speech about how the Libyan people volunteered to send their sons to the land of Palestine and fight many fierce battles, which every time the Libyans were victorious over the brutal enemy." Libyans won battles against the Haganah? Who knew? As for the Tunisian researcher, Khamisa Al-Obeidi, she presented the experience of Tunisian activists in this war and talked about the popular participation of all groups to support Palestine, saluting the steadfast people of Palestine. She told Al-Ahed: "The war attracted fighters from all parts of the world, and the contribution of the people of the Maghreb was distinctive, especially the popular participation from Tunisia." She explained: "All Tunisian popular segments have been involved in defending Palestine, youth and students, women and peasants, merchants and workers, and have excelled in support methods, including...Read More |
From Ian: NGO Monitor: Terror-linked and anti-Israel NGOs Exploit Children in Campaign to Blacklist the IDF The UN Secretary-General publishes a yearly report on "Children and Armed Conflict," (CAAC) which surveys instances of alleged "grave violations" of children's rights around the world. (The six "grave violations" are killing or maiming of children; recruitment or use of children by armed forces or armed groups; attacks on schools or hospitals; rape or other sexual violence against children; abduction of children; denial of humanitarian access.) The CAAC report includes an annex listing "parties to armed conflict" (i.e. armed groups) that perpetrate these "grave violations." Listed parties are then placed under a UN sanctions framework known as a Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism. As documented by NGO Monitor in several publications, Israel is the target of an on-going multi-year campaign, led by terror-linked and pro-BDS NGOs, that exploit children in advocating for the IDF's inclusion on this blacklist. Many of these NGOs are funded by European governments. The annex is designed to generate "targeted measures against violators, including the possibility of sanctions" (emphasis added). To date, the annex almost entirely consists of failed states, state-sponsored militias, and terrorist organizations such as ISIS, Boko Haram, the Taliban, and Al-Qaeda. The Secretary-General's report published in July...Read More |
This is the Sheikh Ajleen wastewater treatment plant which serves approximately one third of all Gazans. It treats 75,000 cubic meters per day and its solar array not only ensures that it will remain operative without relying on unreliable Gaza electricity but it also sends much of its generated electricity into the Gaza power grid to help everyone.
And it isn't the only one. The Gaza Central WWTP is currently treating 60,000 cubic meters of water a day with plans to expand to triple that number - and to provide 8500 MWh of electricity. The Bureij WWTP also currently treats 60,000 cubic meters of water a day and plans to double that number. Remember how Gaza was supposed to be uninhabitable by 2020? People still talk as if it is. But there is drinkable water in Gaza thanks to these plants - which somehow got built despite the "Israeli siege" of Gaza. I follow Gaza pretty closely, and do not recall any articles about these wastewater treatment plants except in passing. The reasons are obvious: if people know about them, then Gaza is not in "crisis" as everyone...Read More |
Palestinians are marking today the 56th anniversary of the "naksa," or "setback" of the Six Day War.
The official Palestinian Wafa news agency published a statement from Fatah for the occasion that showed, yet again, that dominant political party of the PA government and the one led by Mahmoud Abbas officially supports terrorism and the destruction of all of Israel. The Palestinian National Liberation Movement Fatah affirmed that it will continue the struggle with greater persistence and determination until we sweep away the abhorrent Israeli occupation from our pure land, and from our great Palestinian people. In a statement issued by the Commission for Information, Culture and Intellectual Mobilization, on the 56th anniversary of the setback, Fatah confirmed that international law and the United Nations Charter give our people every right to resist the occupation army, settlements, and all policies of expansion and Judaization. She explained that the response to this aggression paved the way for the launch of the second Palestinian revolution, as a response to the defeat, and an affirmation of the Palestinian people's insistence that they will not kneel, will not surrender, and will continue their struggle until the end of the occupation. She pointed out that all forms of Judaization, settlement, and changing the geographical and historical features of Palestine, and the Judaization of Jerusalem and the Islamic and...Read More |
