Israeli Occupation Soldiers Kill a Palestinian Child, Injure and Abduct Scores of Civilians

January 31, 2018 

Editor's Note:

While brutal force has been used to create Zionist Israel and sustain it thus far, Zionist claims to Palestine are false. Actually, from the five thousand years of known written history, there has been a continuous Palestinian-Canaanite presence in the Holy Land. Despite the Zionist false claims, the ancient Israelites ruled part of the land for only 85 years (during the reign of David, Solomon, and Solomon's son).

 After that, the Egyptians conquered Palestine-Canaan in 925 BC, followed by Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Roman, before the Arab Muslim rule, starting from 636 AD.

By the Time Jesus started his mission, the three population groups of Canaanites, Palestinians, and Israelites were melted together in religion and language. Most of them became Christians when Constantine converted in 313 AD. Then, most of them became Muslims in the 7th and 8th centuries AD.

So, Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews are the ones who have the right to claim descent from ancient Israelites, Palestinians, and Canaanites, not Zionists from other continents.

The following news stories are just examples of the Israeli occupation government violations of Palestinian human rights, on daily basis.

QALQILYA, (PIC) + -

Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu and his transportation minister Yisrael Katz on Tuesday inaugurated a bypass on Highway 55 around the occupied West Bank village of Nabi Ilyas, east of Qalqilya city.

According to Israel’s Channel 7, the new road will connect the settlements in the area and central Israel (1948 occupied lands) with each other.

The channel quoted Katz as saying that this road was part of the government’s plan to develop infrastructure for the safety and well-being of settlers.

In a related context, the Israeli occupation forces on the same day blocked the entrances to all eastern villages and towns located along the Qalqilya-Nablus road and the eastern entrance to the district of Qalqilya.

The IOF set up makeshift checkpoints at all entrances and obstructed the movement of Palestinian citizens and vehicles.

The reason for such road closures was Netanyahu’s inauguration of that new bypass for Israeli settlers, which was built on an annexed tract of land belonging to the Palestinian villages of Nabi Ilyas and Izbat al-Tabib.

Israeli occupation soldiers demolished, on Monday morning, two under-construction residential buildings in Be’er ‘Owna area, in Beit Jala city, in the West Bank governorate of Bethlehem, after surrounding and isolating the area.

Hasan Breijiyya, the coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Wall and Colonies, said a large military force invaded the area, and demolished the two residential buildings, under the pretext of being constructed without a permit from the Israeli side.

He added that each building had three stories, and that the buildings and their lands, are owned by Walid Zreina and Issa Awad.

Breijiyya denounced the demolitions, and said that many Palestinian homes and buildings are in that area, which is repeatedly targeted by the military, as the Jerusalem City Council is trying to confiscate and annex it, for the illegal construction and expansion of its colonies.
