Sabra and Shatila Remembrance of Death of yesterday and today

Sabra and Shatila,
Death Memories of yesterday and today
16 - September 18, 1982

By: Ambassador Suhail Hani Daher Akel (*)

With the invasion of Israel on June 6, 1982, known as "Peace for Galilee", Lebanon became a real boiler, where children, women and elderly people were burned to the passage of the soldiers of Premier Menachem Begin and the Minister Defense Ariel Sharon.

During 88 days, Lebanon and Palestinian refugee camps were plunged into total chaos, tight in death, pain and destruction.

the night of 16 September until 18 September 1982, Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila in Beirut, were surrounded by the army of Ariel Sharon.

through isolation. Lured a small group of Lebanese mercenaries who responded to their base instincts, who did not hesitate to vent their hatred fueled economically.

with axes, knives and mass shootings, killed unarmed Palestinian civilians with impunity, while the Israeli Bulldozer hurriedly ordered to remove debris wrapped corpses of refugees.

More than 5,000 Lebanese civilians and Palestinian martyrs began to turn air Sabra and Shatila in the memories of death.

As premier, Ariel Sharon was indicted in June 2001 before the Belgian courts for 23 Palestinian and Lebanese survivors of being responsible for the slaughter of the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila. The lawsuit was based on the 1993 Belgian law that recognizes universal jurisdiction to the Belgian courts for war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity wherever they were committed and the nationalities and places of residence of victims and defendants.

Sharon, ignored international demand and senior Israeli government immediately termed "scandalous" the decision of justice Belgian and stated that the decision was greeted with anger by Israeli President Moshe Katsav (deposed in 2007 for sexual harassment), who said: "I deny absolutely the moral right to judge Belgian leaders and Israeli army officials ... No have the right to question the moral and human works with the Israeli army. "

With a high degree of intolerance and anti-Semitism anti-Semitic Israeli Palestinian people. In the third millennium, the overwhelming tsunami of Israel against the Palestinian people, stripped the barbarity of the occupation numbers leaving desperate. Since the September 28, 2000 to the present, killed more than 9,500 Palestinian civilians, of which nearly 2,100 are children and over 75 000 Palestinians were wounded. They also killed the martyred President Yasser Arafat and Hamas leaders Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Abdel Aziz Rantazi in 2004.

demolished nearly 14 thousand homes and buildings, and over a million and half olive and fruit trees were uprooted. Hundreds of hectares of Palestinian land were expropriated for the construction of the Apartheid Wall and the establishment of Israeli settlements in order to undermine the geography of Palestine and Jerusalem.

is absurd that, with international legal resolutions, converted into ink on paper by Israel, the world hold their complacency with the occupying power and its crimes against humanity of yesterday and today.

Injustice and oppression will never prevail. The Sabra and Shatila camps in 1982 as the village Deir Yassin in 1948 and the Al Aksa Intifada in Jerusalem in 2000, will remain the bastion of freedom of the Palestinian people and the free peoples of the world.

Funny Opening Line For Wedding Speech

Bishop Attallah Hanna: a Palestinian Christian Hero

met a teacher on the train during a of my trip from Bristol to London, was kind and encouraged me to start a conversation. I can assure you that this does not happen often. We started to talk about different issues to break the silence as well as cold and dull atmosphere that surrounded the two-hour trip.

discovered that was a music teacher and was working on an album compilation of international children's songs from different countries. He asked me about my country, where I came from and what kind of children's songs have. Did not mean to say that maybe my generation is the last to have heard children's songs that the Palestinian children used to be awakened by Israeli bombardments most nights.

We talked about music and traditional Palestinian songs. And without realizing it, I ended up telling her about the most famous Arab singer, the Lebanese Fayrooz and songs that has contributed to Palestine and Palestinian children.

In my phone had some of their songs downloaded on my son, who knows how to keep her mom. I offered my phone to the young woman to listen to the song of Zahrat Al-Madaen. The woman asked me the translation of the song. I told him that this is a song that says ...
Jerusalem
'I will pray for you, City of sentences. "

I translated almost every word of the song and when I came to Ia part of Mary and baby Jesus, was impressed. She knew that not all Palestinians are Muslims. I thought it was odd that being a teacher would have lost the connection that Jesus was born in Palestine and there are hundreds of churches in Palestine. I also thought to myself that the sound of the bombings has silenced the bells of the churches.

I figured maybe he was embarrassed by questions such as the eyes of a practicing Muslim, wearing Hijab, they can shine with tears as he recited a song about the churches of Jerusalem.
Some other incidents
confirmed to me that not many people know the suffering of Christians in Palestine caused by the Israeli state. And that is an Israeli policy to keep people thinking that the struggle in Palestine is caused by religion, and that this struggle takes place only between Jews and Muslims, which is absolutely false.

Palestinians in the three faiths lived in peace and harmony long before the Zionist state began his plunder and destruction.

is why people consider filing one of the heroes Palestinian Christians, only one of thousands of Christians suffering, my own fellow brothers in Palestine, and I should mention that the majority of Palestinian Christians were forced to leave Palestine just as the Muslims. Most emigrated to the United States and European countries, others came to Lebanon and other neighboring countries like Jordan.

My Christian hero is Bishop Attallah Hanna. They may even notice that part of his name is Allah in Arabic and Islamic terms means God, his name is composed of two syllables, which means gift Atta and Allah which means God. The name of our Palestinian Bishop extraordinary means Gift of God in Arabic.

Bishop Attallah Hanna was charged with terrorism and was arrested several times in Israeli jails. Also was placed under house arrest for 4 years and the Israeli government withdrew his passport because they wanted him to stop playing the theme from the sale of some property of the Orthodox Church to the Jews!

Attalah Hanna Bishop enjoys great popularity and love among the Palestinians, is at the heart of Muslims and Christians living in Palestinian land or forced into exile. His home is in the humble building of the Orthodox Church in the Old City of Jerusalem.

When asked in an interview published by the Egyptian newspaper Almasry Alyoum introduce himself, he replied: "I am a Palestinian Arab proud member of the Arab nation. And I'm proud of my identity as a Palestinian Orthodox Christian serving this ancient church. There is a close relationship between this church and my sense of national and religious belonging. I would tell people that Christianity was born in Palestine, no matter our faith in the West, that Jesus did not come from the West, which is native to this land, from Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth. Here Jesus was born. Therefore, Christ is Palestinian. All the Palestinian people, Muslims and Christians alike, are proud that their homeland is Palestine. Our church is 2000 years old. We did not come here with some kind of Western colonialism, this is our homeland since Christ was born and when the Caliph 'Omar ibn Al-Khattab "made the Islamic conquests, was welcomed by the Arab patriarch of Damascus," Sovrios. " That incident marked the meeting of the two poles, Christianity and Islam. The meeting between the caliph and the patriarch is considered a firm and strong bond of brotherhood between the Muslim and Christian Arab children in a country, working together to serve their causes. "

When asked Bishop Attallah on violations against Christian holy places by the Zionist occupation, said: "The excavations were carried out by the occupation under both Islamic and Christian holy sites, and I think that the sentence such acts are not enough to confront such violations. What Israel is doing is well known to everyone and can be summarized briefly by saying that Israel falsely claimed Jerusalem as their religious and political capital, we do not recognize such claims that Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish state. "

Such claims are reckless and are considered a falsification of facts and an assault on the rights of other religions and an attack on all cultural and spiritual values \u200b\u200bfor Christians and Muslims. I do not mind saying that the holy city of Jerusalem is sacred to Jews, or is sacred to the three monotheistic religions, the problem lies that the Israeli occupation and denied this important fact and claimed that Jews are the only people responsible for the holy city.

"Israel has tried to prove their claims of all possible ways. They find it impossible to eradicate the Islamic and Christian monuments of Jerusalem, stealing the land from Christians and Muslims, continuing attempts to transform the Judaizing the city by different ways, among which are the excavations beneath the city. In addition to the wide and vast spread of illegal settlements in an attempt to expropriate our own city, we are strangers in our own country. "
Asked
Bishop if he had a message for the world, said: "I mean that there is a national and international obligation - spiritually and humanly, all Muslim and Christian in the world to Palestine. Some may consider that the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem are the only people responsible for this, and this is wrong. It is true that we are on the front lines, do not give up our historical responsibilities, spiritual and national, are in that line. But all Muslims and Christians should fulfill their responsibilities. No party should take only talking about what is happening. While we are talking about what is happening Israel continues with its project, demolishing houses, occupying land, removing trees and killing innocent people. If Christians and Muslims want Jerusalem to remain the capital of Palestine, must act immediately for the sake of this nation. "

" What bothers me most are the ones who stand on platforms to discuss the Arab character of Jerusalem, to them say, 'interrupted his speeches, we've talked enough, we have surplus of appeals. Jerusalem will not be liberated by speeches. "

was asked Bishop of Jerusalem if they honestly believe there is some hope that the Arabs change their policies and do something to help the Palestinians. He replied, "If I had no hope of that happening, I never would have seen, we live by hope, forged on our convictions and beliefs."

"We emphasize that Jerusalem is an Arab city, read the story. We have endured 60 years of Nakba, 40 years Nakssa (adversity). Our cause is alive and we need wisdom, determination, perseverance and adherence to the principles that are leading to the right of return for Palestinians. "

When asked the Bishop of Jerusalem its opinion on the suggestion of creating two states in Palestine, one for Israelis and one for Palestinians, said, "I never will agree with that point of view, I believe in a state for all citizens, in which Arabs live together, Muslims and Jews. I believe in the right of return for Palestinians. And then, the results of Palestinian elections determine the outcome. Speaking of two states in Palestine is unfair and impossible to implement. "

Shimon Peres: murderer, liar and hypocrite

Khalid Amayreh
The Palestinian Information Center


Translated from English by Beatriz Morales Bastos.

Once again we are affronted by another despicable statement by Shimon Peres, the deceitful elderly Israeli president and who has spent a lifetime serving the evil Zionist enterprise.

In a statement made in Rome on Friday, 5 September [2008], Peres called for banning Hamas to participate in any elections held in occupied Palestine until the group terminated all forms of resistance against Israeli occupation similar to the Nazis.

[In his remarks] Peres completely ignored the prolonged reign of murder and terror inflicted for too long the helpless and virtually defenseless Palestinians a state morally cruel he believes the events that took place in Europe six decades ago justify the genocidal ethnic cleansing that is being imposed to the victims of Zionism.
Peres, who would have us believe that Israel is an oasis of justice and freedom in the Middle East, also accused the Palestinian Islamic movement of "intolerance" of indulging in "religious and military terror" which he said is incompatible with democratic values.

Peres, who is credited with the introduction of nuclear weapons in the Middle East through the "French Connection, accused Hamas was impeding peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), United States, suggesting that the "extremism" of Hamas was the main reason behind PA reluctance to sign a formal peace treaty with Israel.

Peres overlooked the fact that Israel has been more than 20 years without Hamas (1967-1987) and 19 years during which Hamas was more or less weak or neutralized (1987-2006), but instead of make peace with the Palestinian leadership, namely the PLO, the Zionist state was busy building Jewish-only settlements and Jewish-only roads on land that belongs to another people.

Moreover, Peres's remarks are beyond chutzpah. At last, after all, he himself is a despicable murderer whose hands are stained with the blood of many innocent people. It is also a pathological liar and unredeemed hypocrite.

The fact that in many capitals have respect you do not really make it any less criminal.

Indeed, for Peres to invoke the ideals of human rights and democracy against the tormented victims of Israel, the Palestinians, is very similar to having the likes of Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin lecturing their victims about sanctity of human life.

In the final analysis, no difference of moral substance between the nefarious treatment by Israel to the Palestinians, as in the case of Gaza, and the Nazi behavior during World War II.

Actually, the main difference lies not in the quality of the evil committed, but its sheer size.

Let us not be duped and deceived by this lying old man in the depths of your heart you know very well that if not for the inherently unjust international system, he and other Israeli leaders would be shipped, like drugged wild animals, the International Tribunal of Justice in The Hague to stand trial for their diabolic acts of murder and terror.

Peres and nearly all other Zionist leaders since Ben Gurion have always been despicable murderers and liars. They still are.

Peres himself is a mass murderer par excellence. In 1996, during his brief stint as prime minister after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin ordered the Israeli army to bomb the UNIFIL headquarters at the village of Qana, south Lebanon.

And while the resulting pornographic massacre shocked the conscience of the world, Peres and his colleagues were busy deflecting blame and concocting excuses. Interestingly, Peres has never apologized for this horrific crime and that Israel would never have thought of compensating the families of the victims. Apparently, in the Zionist lexicon there is no phrase "mea culpa."

As regards pathological Peres call for barring Hamas from participating in future Palestinian elections, Israeli President should know that without Hamas there can be elections in the occupied territories.

Moreover, what kind of elections would Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza if only for admission to the agents of Israel and the U.S.?
Or perhaps the hero of Qana thinks that Palestinian democracy should not go beyond allowing the masses to choose a ** Judenrat that would torment the Palestinian people on Israel's behalf as the regime is doing in Ramallah.

addition, it is crystal clear that Peres is being scandalously inconsistent as to whether to allow groups "anti-democratic" to participate in elections.

must remember, if you have forgotten, that it happens that several Israeli political factions and parties participating in elections are full-fledged terrorist groups that openly call for the expulsion, enslavement or extermination of non-Jews in Palestine-Israel. So why not prohibit these groups to be submitted to the Israeli elections? What perishes
the manifestly fascist MIFDAl (National Religious Party) which openly calls for deporting all Palestinians to Jordan and other Arab countries? And the National Union, the quasi-Nazi party whose leaders advocate disenfranchising non-Jews and carpet-bombing Palestinian population centers? What about Mikhail Kleiner's party which considers Jordan "the eastern part of Israel"? What about the Israeli Knesset members, like Aryeh Eldad, who openly claim that non-Jews are not full human beings? How about these numerous rabbis from Merkaz Harav (the Talmudic College in Jerusalem) who teach their students that in time of war, children and non-Jewish civilians may be slaughtered en mass?

And what they seem to arch-like Baruch Marzel and his followers? Why Israel, which claims to be the only true democracy in the Middle East, allow these thugs to participate in elections?

Besides, Peres does not realize that his own party, Kadima, is comprised of real terrorists and war criminals, people who in any other country that respects itself would be thrown behind prison bars?
challenge Peres to tell us the name of a prime minister and Israeli foreign minister who is not a war criminal.

Consider, for example, the last three Israeli prime ministers, Ehud Olmert, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak.

The first ordered the Israeli Air Force dropped three million cluster bombs in southern Lebanon. For those who do not know, three million bombs are sufficient to kill and maul three million children. In Gaza, Olmert ordered his army to murder innocent Palestinian civilians by the thousands and left to starve hundreds of thousands of innocent people they had elected a political party that Israel did not like.

And Sharon? Well, we know the dark legacy of this vile war criminal tried.

And Barak, the well-known child murderer with his own hands murdered writers and Palestinian intellectuals in Beirut and who ordered his troops to open fire on unarmed Palestinian protesters. This is the man who had to appeal to the most primitive sadistic instincts of the Israeli public to be popular and get elected.

In fact, Israel itself is a crime against humanity and its leaders are vile war criminals. As such, they are utterly unworthy of speaking of human rights and democratic values.
