Salam al Maseeh

The first Palestinian above all others is Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Let be accursed any gospel other than that which was preached at the beginning, received not from man but from Christ Jesus, thou alone, in whom we have redemption through thy all holy infinitely pure and undefiled blood, the remission of our sins, who in the future shall recreate the heavens and the earth, called by thine special choice, who before hoped in Christ with all who heard the word of truth and believed, sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, who is the pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of the possession, for the praise of his glory, in faith in the Lord Jesus, and of love for all the saints in unceasing intercession of all the elect angels and saints of God, virgins, with all thanksgiving, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in deep knowledge of him; the eyes of our minds being enlightened, to know the hope of his calling, the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power wrought in Christ the only first born from the dead in the flesh raised above all things he made subject under his feet, we who hold him the head directly and no other, Christ Jesus our only Lord and Saviour immortal son of the immortal Father in the unity and power and bond of love of the immortal Holy Spirit our Paraclete unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

The Final Trial: Jesus Christ begotten of the Father - not made

A prayer of Isaias the Prophet.

Is. 26: 9-21

(Isaias' prophecy, which is also his prayer.)

O Lord our God, grant us peace. Out of the night my spirit waketh at dawn unto Thee, O God; for Thy commandments are a light upon the earth. Learn righteousness, all ye that dwell upon the earth. For the ungodly man hath come to an end; every one that learneth not righteousness upon the earth shall not be able to do truth; let the ungodly be taken away, that he may not see the glory of the Lord. O Lord, Thine arm is lifted up, and they knew it not; but when they know it, let them be put to shame. Zeal shall lay hold upon an untaught people, and now fire shall devour the adversaries. O Lord our God, bestow Thy peace upon us, for Thou hast given all things unto us. O Lord our God, take us for Thy possession. O Lord, we know no other beside Thee; we call upon Thy name. But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians raise them up; therefore hast Thou brought wrath upon them, and hast slain them, and hast taken every man of them away. Bring more evils upon them, Lord; bring more evils upon them that are glorious upon the earth. O Lord, in trouble we remembered Thee; with small affliction was Thy chastening with us. And as a woman in travail draweth nigh to be delivered, and crieth out in her travail, so have we become in the presence of Thy beloved. We have conceived, O Lord, because of Thy fear, and have suffered pangs, and have brought forth the spirit of Thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth. We shall not fail, but all those that dwell upon the earth shall fail. The dead shall arise, and they that are in the tomb shall awake, and they that are upon the earth shall rejoice. For the dew which Thou sendest is healing unto them; but the land of the ungodly shall perish. Go, my people, enter into thine inner chamber, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season [during the Great Tribulation, hidden in mountains and dens and caves of the earth - there is NO secret rapture which is only an heretical apostate Lurianic Talmudic Judaic doctrine], until the anger of the Lord shall pass away.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

And see: The Abomination of Desolation

Note in the below that this is a description of the evil that precedes the Antichrist who is the Abomination of Desolation. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ then comes after the reign of Antichrist has proceeded for a while. Antichrist, his reign and the False Prophet and all their followers are then destroyed by the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with all His elect Angels and sent to hell forever. The saints will then reign with Our Lord Jesus Christ at their head on earth forever.

Palestine, which is properly the Holy Land for in it walked God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, and there He allowed Himself to be sacrificed for the salvation of those who profess Him from the heart and with the mouth, is a miniature of all the evil that has come upon the earth and there will the final evil be concentrated in its fullness and rule from there for a short time.

From: The Abomination of Desolation

Writing in the second century, St. Hippolytus wrote the following about the evil that will abound before the coming of Antichrist:

The temples of God will be like houses, and there will be overturnings of the churches everywhere. The Scriptures will be despised, and everywhere they will sing the songs of the adversary. Fornications, and adulteries, and perjuries will fill the land; sorceries, and incantations, and divinations will follow after these with all force and zeal. And, on the whole, from among those who profess to be Christians will rise up then false prophets, false apostles, impostors, mischief-makers, evil-doers, liars against each other, adulterers, fornicators, robbers, grasping, perjured, mendacious, hating each other. The shepherds will be like wolves; the priests will embrace falsehood; the monks will lust after the things of the world; the rich will assume hardness of heart; the rulers will not help the poor; the powerful will cast off all pity; the judges will remove justice from the just, and, blinded with bribes, they will call in unrighteousness.

CHAPTER XXVIII.

The resurrection of Christ. His commission to his disciples.

1 And *in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week,

18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.

19 *Going, therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

"Consummation of the world," - the end of this age of grace and the beginning of the eternal ages with Christ reigning visibly. This is the end of the eschaton and the beginning of the eternal recreated heavens and the earth and will begin when Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ returns from heaven in the same flesh He rose with and ascended into the third heaven with, seated at the right hand of the Father. His return will be with all of His elect angels. He will raise and judge all men in the flesh and then recreate the heavens and the earth, which in that state will last that way for eternity. There will NOT be any sin in the new heavens and earth, so prepare now by confessing the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and be baptized as commanded above and shown how to baptize below and live Holy and Godly lives in sincerity and humility and meekness waiting for the Lord when He returns so that we are not like the five foolish virgins but are like the five wise virgins.

Method of Baptism

From the Didache (49 A.D. Council of Jerusalem):

Chapter 7. Concerning Baptism.

And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize the one to be baptized into Jesus Christ in "the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," in running water. But if you have no running water, baptize into other water [still water]; and if you cannot do so in cold water, do so in warm. But if you have neither, pour out water three times upon the head onto the one to be baptized saying at that time "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." But before the baptism, if possible, let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whoever else can; but you shall order the baptized [when there is time] to fast one or two days before.

Baptism can and should always be performed immediately when there is danger of death of the one to be baptized. For instance, impending martyrdom or possible death causing illness.

Israel is the Nation of the Antichrist = Dajjal: Totally reject Dajjal and instead Come to Christ and receive the water of life

The Muhammad of the Almighty Triune God of The Final Trial would not stand in the way of Muslims coming to Our Lord Jesus Christ and being baptized in Him as the Injeel commands. The Mohammed of Ahmadiyya is the same as the Mohammot of al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah and both are antichrists and contradict the clear commands of God in the Injeel and Taurat and Quran.

Noble Quran

003.045 Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (held in honor by the company of the prophets and saints) those nearest to God;

003.046 "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (adhered to by the company) of the righteous."

003.047 She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: God createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

003.048 "And God will teach him [Jesus Christ] the Book [alkitaba = all sacred writing from God Most High] and Wisdom [hikma = sophia = uncreated wisdom of God one with His Holy Spirit], the Law [Taurat fulfilled in the Gospel of Jesus Christ] and the Gospel [of Jesus Christ],"

As the Word of God Jesus Christ willed to learn in His Incarnation what He already possessed and knew prior to His Incarnation as part of His kenosis (emptying out of Himself and taking upon Himself our nature while in no way losing anything of what He already was as God by nature and Son of God as the Second Person of the undivided Trinity) and as an example to us of how we in humility must follow God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

See this for why Jesus Christ must be confessed as the Holy Word and Son of God: The Final Trial: Mary - revered by both Christians and Muslims as the vessel through whom God made the Word, Jesus Christ, Incarnate

The Muslim feast of Eid only commemorates the typological sacrifice by Abraham of Issac. That prefigured the final and only Supreme Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on His Most Holy Cross. It is only by the Sacrifice of Christ on His Cross that we are saved. Jesus Christ commanded, not suggested, that we be baptized; echoing the rest of the Church Fathers, St. Augustine noted that if someone could not be baptized even though they wanted it and did everything they could to be baptized in the water in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, then their confession of faith is enough for their salvation. But no where are we allowed to refuse baptism.

All Muslims and everyone who will, are invited and encouraged to come to the water of life now and be baptized in the water and in the Spirit in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and receive Communion.

For Noah and Abraham as Prophecies of Baptism in Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ see:

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The Second Prophesy: Genesis 5: 32; 6; 7: 6: 11-14, 18-21, 23-24; 8: 1-3, 6-12, 15-21

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The Third Prophesy: Genesis 22: 1-19

There is no evolution, to be baptized in Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ one must believe in the truth of literal Creation by God and no pantheistic syncretism with deistic design and the rest of pagan evolutionary theory.

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The First Prophesy: Genesis 1: 1-31; 2: 1-2

And see the rest of the Baptismal Prophecies. They are a must.

For all Jews wishing to convert sincerely from the heart to Jesus Christ now, here is a prayer based on the biblical Hebrew of the prophets of the Old Testament and the Septuagint Greek of the Old Testament and the New Testament and Arabic.

(The Arabic, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, means the same as God Almighty, or 'O Theos 'O Pantocrator, in Septuagint Greek.)

In the below “Dam (Blood) Kadosh (Holy) bet Yeshua ha Maschiach (Jesus Christ) kanawn anawim (have mercy on Your faithful [those who turn to God by the shed Blood of Christ on Calvary])” is asking for God's forgiveness by the shed Holy Blood of Christ – which is the only forgiveness there is from God for sin.

Go here: Jews called in Christ: Begun in 2002, judged illegal 2004, Israel’s apartheid wall goes on regardless | Jews for Justice for Palestinians

And then be baptized in Christ - see above: Baptism.

Egyptian Sniper Shoots a Female Journalist in Head

Mayada AshrafCairo - Mayada Ashraf,  an Egyptian journalist was shot in head by sniper on Friday noon while covering clashes in the northern neighbourhood of Ein Shams between security forces and supporters of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, media reported.
Several marches were staged Friday by Morsi’s supporters across Egypt in Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, Fayoum, Beheira, Qalioubiya and Qena in reaction to the recently-announced presidential bid of ex-military chief Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, who carried out Morsi’s ouster.
The media reported that at least four Egyptians were killed and dozens were injured in Cairo as police used excessive force and live ammunition against the Islamists protesters.
Hundreds were arrested for chanting against Al-Sisi, the military, the police and the government. Pro-Morsi protesters consider that his removal by the army last July was “a military coup”.
Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood has rejected Sisi’s candidacy outright and a coalition of his supporters had called Friday’s protests.
“What we said nine months ago was confirmed and the mask fell off from the face of the coup leader… with the announcement of his candidacy to ‘the bloody presidency’,” it said in a statement Thursday.
Sisi “broke the oath he made before the elected president Mohamed Morsi by toppling him and made the Egyptian army enter the political arena with him,” the coalition added.
Sisi is believed to be the real power behind interim president Adly Mansour, under whose watch police have killed hundreds of Islamist protesters and detained at least 25,000 suspects since Morsi’s ouster.
The crackdown has caused international concern and outrage after 529 Morsi supporters were sentenced to death this week over deadly riots.
For those who want an end to the violence that has scared off investors and tourists, Sisi’s military background is an asset.
The army is seen as the country’s most stable institution, and Sisi can count on further aid from friendly Gulf states that have pumped billions of dollars into Egypt since Morsi’s ouster

Death Penalty Order Against 529 individuals Represent a Ruling Against Egyptian Judiciary as Well?

EgyptANHRI – The undersigned organizations are extremely concerned about the Minya Felony Court’s decision yesterday, Monday, March 4, to refer the cases of 529 defendants sentenced to death to the state grand mufti for his opinion. The defendants were sentenced in connection with the violence in Matay, Minya, following the dispersal of the two sit-ins held by supporters of former President Mohamed Morsi in Rabaa al-Adawiya and al-Nahda Squares. The decision, and the court’s readiness to sentence such a large number of people to death in abbreviated trials, constitutes a dangerous, unprecedented shift in the Egyptian judiciary’s treatment of such cases and represents a grave violation of both the right to a fair trial and the right to life.
The court issued this decision less than a week after the start of the trial of the defendants, who were charged in connection with violence that led to the death of Col. Mustafa Ragab, the deputy chief of the Matay police station, the attempted murder of other police officers, the theft of weapons from the police station, the destruction of public and private property, and the torching of several private cars.
The ruling was issued following only two sessions of the trial and in the absence of the defendants and their lawyers. The first session lasted only 30 minutes, as counsel for the defendants moved for the recusal of the judges hearing the case. Witnesses were not called, evidence was not presented in court, and the accused were unable to defend themselves.
The undersigned organizations note that group trials such as the case of the 529 defendants  represent a grave violation of the right to a fair trial and of other principles, most prominently the principle of individualized punishment, which is enshrined in the Egyptian constitution, including in the most recent constitutional amendments approved through a public referendum, as well as international rights conventions ratified by Egypt.

The undersigned organizations are especially concerned by this expansive use of the death penalty in light of the increasingly repressive measures taken against political dissidents of various affiliations and the proposed counterterrorism legislation that grows more authoritarian by the day. The government recently approved two counterterrorism draft laws with several dangerous provisions that lack proper legal safeguards. The draft laws make it possible to impose the death penalty for an extensive list of actions and grant broad powers to security personnel and the Public Prosecution in matters of investigation and interrogation.
We ask that all defendants be granted guarantees for a fair trial, including, first and foremost, the right to defense and to an attorney and the right to be charged with a specific offense backed by evidence, as well as adequate time to prepare a defense and response.

Egypt Claims Miracle Cure For HIV and Hepatitis

Eagypt discoveryThe Commetator– Ahmed Abdel-Raheem – Almost certainly a political miracle rather than a medical one, Egypt’s claim to have an instant cure for HIV and Hepatitis shows the lengths the coup leaders will go for legitimacy
Two days ago, Egyptian media began big campaigns about a miraculous device (billed as ”Complete Cure”) invented by Egypt’s armed forces for treating HIV/AIDS and the Hepatitis C virus.
The news stories depicted the machine as a breakthrough, and a real miracle for completely curing patients of any of the two resistant diseases, giving hope for 18 million Egyptians with Hepatitis C and tens of thousands with HIV. (All this in no time at all, only 16 hours for the cure and one minute for detecting the disease.)
new democracyAccording to the Egyptian media, with the device there is no need to take a sample of the patient’s blood to detect the infection. Moreover, Egypt’s national TV channels ran a video that showed a physician making tests for an HIV patient using the device and telling him, “your tests are so great; you had HIV but now the disease vanished.”
The reports said that ”Complete Cure” is two machines in one: ”C Fast” (for treating Hepatitis C) and “I Fast” (for treating HIV). Furthermore, the reports confirmed that the military had been working for 22 years on the project and although ”C Fast” had been ready to go since 2006, the inventing team preferred to wait until it could test the effectiveness of the machine on HIV patients.
There’s even more. Major Dr. Ibrahim Abdel-Atti, leader of the machine-inventing team, stressed that Egypt will not export the machine to other countries so that it can be protected from international monopoly and the black market. He was quoted in the Al-Ahram newspaper as saying, “Marshal el-Sisi once said, ”we lagged behind and we should jump rather than walk so that we can compete with others”, and this is the first jump.”

The strange thing is, the media stresses that the device can also treat swine flu or H1N1, a disease that has taken many Egyptian lives over the past few weeks.
The media message is, of course, clear: We can depend only on Egypt’s armed forces; they’re the hope; they’re the people who can meet all our needs; they’re the men of impossible missions; they’re the best to lead Egypt in the coming years; they’re the best in the world; they’re big scholars and hard workers; they spare no effort to develop Egypt and improve the lives of its people.
They worked for 22 years for a machine that can make Egyptians happy. In short, the leader of Egypt must be a military man (in particular, Marshal Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi).
This kind of propaganda reminds us of old campaigns about the military’s invention of two inter-continental missiles: Zafer and Qaher, during Abdel-Nasser’s and Saddat’s era.
The two rockets were said to be able to reach to the depths of Israel. During that time, the media depicted this as if it was a nuclear bomb that could deter any threats to Egypt.
However, General Saad Ed-Dien el-Shazli mentioned in his diaries later that this was just propaganda and the two missiles were in fact ineffective and had no destructive power. El-Shazli stressed that he was shocked every time the media told lies about the two missiles and every time Saddat threatened America and Israel with using them.
In the current period, ordinary Egyptians are building mountainous hopes on such new devices and think that, with them, they can find light at the end of the tunnel.
The large majority of comments in the news describe the machine as a blessing and a gift from God, and many happy people have wondered aloud in the media about when the machine will be available in the hospitals. Many have been seen expressing their gratitude for the military and Marshal el-Sisi.
The coup leaders have ambitious aims. Will the game work?

سخرت مجلة (كومينتاتور) الأمريكية من الجهاز المعجزة الذى كشف عنه المجلس الأعلى للقوات المسلحة المصرية لعلاج أخطر أمراض العالم الإيدز وفيروس “سي” للكبد الوبائى
وقالت المجلة: إن هذا الجهاز يعُد معجزة “سياسية” أكثر منها طبية. وصعدّت وسائل الإعلام المصرية حملتها لدعم هذا جهاز “كومبليت كيور” والترويج له بأنه المعجزة الحقيقية التى ستمكن أكثر من 18 مليون مصريا من الشفاء الكامل من مرض فيروس C وعشرات الآلاف ممن يعانون من نقص المناعة الأيدز” خلال 16 ساعة فقط
ووفقا لوسائل الإعلام المصرية، فبهذا الجهاز لن يحتاج الطبيب المعالج لأخذ عينة من المريض للكشف عن العدوى، وعلاوة على ذلك، أذاعت القنوات الحكومية فيديو لطبيب يقوم ببعض الفحوصات لمريض باستخدام هذا الجهاز المعجزة ويقول: فحوصاتك جيدة جدا..كنت تعانى من الإيدز أما الآن فقد شفيُت من المرض نهائيا
وتفيد التقارير بأن هذا الجهاز يتكون من جزئين: الأول يدعى “سي فاست” لعلاج التهاب الكبد الوبائى الفيروسى, والثانى يسمى “ون فاست” لعلاج الإيدز، بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تؤكد التقارير أن الجيش يعمل على هذا الاختراع منذ 22 عاما، وانتهى من الجزء الأول بالفعل عام 2006، ولكن فضّل فريق العمل الانتظار حتى اختبار مدى فعالية الجهاز على مرضى الأيدز
والأكثر من ذلك، أن مخترع الجهاز، اللواء الدكتور “إبراهيم عبد العاطي”، أكد أن مصر لن تصدر الجهاز لأى دولة أخرى لحمايته من الاحتكار الدولى والسوق السوادء، ونقلت المجلة عنه قوله: “المشير السيسى قال إننا نتخلف كثيرا وعلينا القفز للأمام بدلا من السير ببطء ونعلن منافستنا للآخرين وهذا الجهاز هو القفزة الأولى للأمام
ولعل الغريب فى الأمر، تأكيد وإصرار الإعلام على أن هذا الجهاز يستطيع معالجة إنفلونزا الخنازير
ويبدو أن الرسالة التى يريد الإعلام توصيلها بوضوح هو أنه بإمكان الشعب المصرى الاعتماد كلية وفقط على القوات المسلحة، لأنهم الأمل وهم من يستطيعون تلبية جميع احتياجتنا وهم رجال المهام المستحيلة والأفضل لقيادة البلاد فى المستقبل بل والأفضل على مستوى العالم لما تمتلكه من علماء وخبرات من شأنها أن تساعد على ازدهار مصر وتحسين ظروف المعيشة لشعبها
ورأت المجلة أن هذا النوع من الدعاية يعُيد إلى أذهاننا الحملات الإعلانية للاختراع العسكرى الأكذوبة لصاروخى عابرى القارات “الظافر والقاهر” أثناء فترة حكمى الرئيسين الراحلين جمال عبد الناصر وأنور السادات
وقالت المجلة الأمريكية: قيل وقتها أن هذين الصاروخين قادران على الوصول إلى أعماق إسرائيل نفسها، وأثناء هذه الاوقات صوّره الإعلام كما لو كان قنبلة نووية تستطيع ردع أى تهديدات لمصر
وأضافت بقولها: وفيما بعد، أعلن الفريق “سعد الدين الشاذلي” فى مذكراته، أن صاروخى “الظافر والقاهر” كانوا وسيلة دعاية فقط ولم يكن فاعلين أو لديهم قدرة تدميرية عالية، وقد تم التأكيد على وسائل الإعلام وقتها على الترويج بكثافة لهذين الصاروخين الأكذوبة حتى يستخدمه “السادات” كتهديد لأمريكا وإسرائيل
أما الآن، فالوضع مختلف، لأن “الأكذوبة” يتم توصيلها للمصريين العاديين الذين يبنون آمالهم على هذا الجهاز المعجزة ويصفونه بالنعمة والهدية من الخالق وينتظرون تداوله فى المستشفيات بفارغ الصبر ويمكن أن يجدوا شعاع النور فى آخر هذا النفق المظلم

New Free Syrian Army Commander Trained in Israel

Who is the new FSA chief after IdrissGlobal Research – Canada – The new commander of the anti-Damascus militancy group, the Free Syrian Army (FSA), Abdul-Ilah al-Bashir has been trained in Israel, media reports said.
Al-Bashir had gone to Israel for treatment last year after he was wounded in Southern Syria during clashes with the Syrian army, Al-Ahd news website reported.
Al-Bashir was in charge of the military council in Southern Syria and he was transferred to a hospital in Israel after he was wounded in a military operation in Al-Rushid region.
Al-Bashir replaced former FSA commander Salim Idris. The FSA declared Bashir as the replacement for Idris in a statement posted online.
While Al-Bashir was wounded, the news reports were spread that Al-Bashir had died and buried in Daraa province in a bid to distract attentions from his presence in Israel where he was receiving military training.
A military analyst told Al-Ahd that the appointment of Al-Bashir took place concurrent with the defeat of the militants in Al-Qalmoun region and after the second round of the Geneva II talks.
Idriss had long faced criticism by militants on the ground for failing to gather sufficient military aid for the armed groups. 

كشف موقع “غلوبل ريسيرتش” الكندي للأبحاث معلومات تفيد بأن قائد “الجيش السوري الحر” عبد الإله البشير النعيمي تم إعداده وتدريبه عسكريًّا في الكيان الصهيوني
وقال الموقع: إن البشير تلقى علاجًا في “إسرائيل” العام الماضي عندما أصيب في مواجهات مع الجيش السوري، وكان حينها مسؤول القيادة العسكرية لقوات المعارضة جنوب سوريا
وأضاف أنه بعد إصابت “النعيمي وعلاجه في “إسرائيل” أعلن عن وفاته وعن دفنه في درعا من أجل التغطية على وجوده في “إسرائيل”، ولكن المجلس العسكري الأعلى للجيش الحر أعلن قبل أيام إقالة اللواء سليم إدريس من مهامه كرئيس لهيئة الأركان وتعيين البشير مكانه

Four people were killed and 29 others were injured on Sunday as an explosion ripped through a bus full of tourists on the Egyptian side of the Taba border.
Egyptian officials identified the casualties as three South Korean tourists and an
Egyptian bus driver. Almost all 33 passengers on the bus were wounded by the explosion, officials said, according to the Associated Press.
Egyptian security forces were deployed to the area, and the border crossing was closed on both sides.
Ofir GendelmanOfir Gendelman, spokesman for israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said “Five of the passengers in serious conditions from the bus explosion were transferred for treatment at the Yoseftal l hospital (Yoseftal Medical Center) in Eilat”.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear. The bus had arrived at the Taba crossing from the ancient Greek Orthodox monastery of St. Catherine’s in central Sinai, security officials said.
State television showed a photograph of the bus. Its windows were blown out and the roof had been partially torn off. Plumes of black smoke billowed from the site of the explosion on a palm tree-lined boulevard.
Morsi appeared in court on Sunday on charges of conspiring with foreign groups to commit terrorist acts in Egypt.

قال عوفير جندلمان، المتحدث باسم رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي، بنيامين نتنياهو، إنه تم نقل خمسة من المصابين في انفجار حافلة الركاب المصرية الذي وقع قرب طابا إلى تلقي العلاج في مستشفى يوسفتال في مدينة إيلات حالتهم خطيرة
وأضاف “جندلمان”، في حسابه على “تويتر”، مساء الأحد، أن نجمة داوود الحمراء تستعد في هذه الأثناء لنقل 15 جريحًا من انفجار الحافلة المصرية قرب طابا إلى مستشفى يوسفتال في إيلات

وقتل 4 أشخاص وأصيب عشرون آخرون في اعتداء بقنبلة استهدفت، الأحد، حافلة كانت تقل سياحًا “كوريين” في منفذ طابا الحدودي مع إسرائيل
وقال أحمد كامل، المتحدث باسم وزارة الصحة، إن الاعتداء أسفر عن مقتل أربعة أشخاصوإصابة آخرين
وأعلنت وزارة الداخلية في بيان أن التفجير وقع في حوالي الساعة الثانية بعد الظهر أثناء توقف إحدى الحافلات السياحية بموقف انتظار الحافلات بمنفذ طابا البري بجنوب سيناء، انتظارًا للمرور إلى الجانب الآخر
وأضاف البيان أن الحافلة كانت تقل عددًا من السائحين يحملون الجنسية الكورية وحدث الانفجار بالجزء الأمامي منها
من جهتها ذكرت مصادر إسرائيلية إن العشرات من سيارات نجمة داوود الحمراء قد وصلت إلى الحدود المصرية ترافقها تعزيزات عسكرية وشرطية مكثفة
وذكرت المصادر إن خمسة مصابين وصلوا للعلاج في إسرائيل وصفت حالتة جميعهم بالحرجة
وأضاقت أن عددا آخرا من المصابين يقدر عددهم ب 15 مصابا, سيصلون للعلاج في إسرائيل
وأفادت المصادر, أن الحدود قد أغلقت من قبل الطرفين المصري والإسرائيلي, إلا أنه وبالإتفاق مع الجانب المصري فقد تم فتح ممر للإسرائيليين المتواجدين في موقع الحدث من أجل العودة إلى ديارهم. والسؤال: ماذا كان يفعل الإسرائيليين في موقع الحدث؟؟ وهل من بينهم من متورط فيه؟؟
وأكدت المصادر أن أيا من غلإسرائيليين لم يصب بأذى, وأن سياح إسرائيل قد عادوا إلى ديارهم سالمين

The Walls Of The Cell Were Smeared With Blood

“I noticed that the walls of the cell were smeared with blood….I was beaten so hard that I was thrown from one side of the room to the other. I was slapped on my face, beaten on my head and cursed for criticizing the police and army…One of the girls told me later that the officer took off his shoes and beat her all over her body and on her face with them.” Protester in Cairo. Amnesty International.
egypt - 2014As celebrations got underway for the third anniversary of Egypt’s uprising against the rule of Hosni Mubarak, elsewhere across the country security forces also sought to prevent anti-government gatherings, breaking-up marches and rounding up hundreds of protesters and bystanders.
The scale of arrests was staggering. More than 1,000 people were arrested in a single day according to the Interior Ministry. At least 64 people were killed and hundreds injured in the violence that broke out as security forces tried to clear the protests.
Eyewitnesses and former detainees have described to Amnesty International the beatings and ill-treatment they suffered at the hands of the security forces on 25 January.
Beatings in detention
One protester in Cairo told how demonstrators, including girls and women, were beaten upon arrest after security forces fired live rounds in the air. They were then shoved inside a microbus to be driven to a nearby police station where further beatings followed.
“I noticed that the walls of the cell were smeared with blood….I was beaten so hard that I was thrown from one side of the room to the other. I was slapped on my face, beaten on my head and cursed for criticizing the police and army…One of the girls told me later that the officer took off his shoes and beat her all over her body and on her face with them,” the released protester said.
At the police station the protester said the arrested men were blindfolded and beaten all over their bodies and on their faces. Several detainees, including children, were beaten so badly they were unable to walk. One man was bleeding from the head. Another detainee’s clothes were ripped to shreds.
Despite being found carrying banners and flyers inscribed with slogans against both the Muslim Brotherhood and the army, the protester has been accused of belonging to a banned group – a charge faced by many perceived supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Others told Amnesty International that they had witnessed detainees being given electric shocks.
It was not only adults who found themselves targeted by the security forces that day. For 15-year-old Samar – not her real name- the day of the third anniversary rapidly evolved into a nightmare. She was seized in downtown Cairo by a pro-government group, including women, who beat and dragged her along the ground ripping her clothes, before handing her to the police. The police accused her of being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or the 6 April Youth Movement, before letting her go.
But her ordeal was not over yet. Shortly afterwards she was stopped again by two soldiers, who detained her because they found a gas mask and a first aid kit when they searched her bag.
She said she was taken to a military building and held alongside male detainees in an outdoor space.
“They made the men strip down to their underwear, blindfolded them, forced them to kneel and then used a sort of electric black taser to shock them on the shoulders and backs,” she said.
Samar was held there for two days before being released.
Lawyers complained to Amnesty International that public prosecutors had also refused to refer detainees to the forensics department for further examinations alleging that their injuries were “minor”.
Access to lawyers
Several lawyers also told Amnesty International that they had been denied access to a number of detention facilities including a Central Security Forces (CSF) Camp on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road.
Others said that they were intimidated by security forces and even threatened at gunpoint.  Those who managed to gain access, including to the Tora CSF Camp, where at least 228 detainees were held, confirmed that they had seen several detainees with visible bruises on their faces and other parts of the body. Lawyers also said that by the time they were allowed in the camp most investigations had already taken place in their absence.
Amr Imam, a lawyer with the Front to Defend Egypt Protesters and the Hisham Mubarak Law Centre, was threatened at gunpoint by a man in a black uniform when he asked to see a group of detainees being held at Maadi Police Station, he told Amnesty International. He was struck in the chest with a rifle-butt. When he protested the man raised his machine gun and pointed it at him. Other members of the security forces followed suit. They threatened to shoot after counting to 10 if he did not leave.
Many detainees were also interrogated inside police stations and riot police [CSF] camps without access to lawyers – a clear violation of Egyptian and international law.
Amnesty International fears that many of the men, women and children arrested were merely exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly or were bystanders.
Among those arrested are individuals sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood, members of the 6 April Youth Movement, as well as independent activists. As in previous cases in the aftermath of Mohamed Morsi’s removal they face a long list of identical charges ranging from murder to hampering traffic. No material evidence is presented by the public prosecution to link individual suspects to specific crimes and little effort is made to establish individual criminal responsibility.
One protester told Amnesty International that he was only freed after he declared his support for the Minister of Defence, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
Three years ago many of those who took to the streets during the Egyptian uprising did so to express their anger at police abuse and brutality which had become routine in Mubarak’s Egypt.
Today the space for dissent and legitimate protests is rapidly disappearing.
While a handful of those arrested on 25 January this year have been released on bail, the vast majority remain in detention pending investigations.
As the scope of repression across the country continues to expand unabated, the hopes of freedom and justice are becoming more elusive. Questions also remain about how the upcoming presidential and legislative elections will proceed in a climate where differences of opinion are not tolerated.

egypt policeمع انطلاق الاحتفالات بمناسبة حلول الذكرى السنوية الثالثة لانتفاضة مصر التي أطاحت بحكم حسنى مبارك، سعت قوات الأمن في مناطق أخرى من مصر للحيلولة دون تنظيم تجمعات معارضة للحكومة، وفض المسيرات واعتقال مئات المحتجين والمارة  
لقد كان عدد الاعتقالات مروعا.  فلقد أُلقي القبض على أكثر من 1000 شخص في يوم واحد فقط، وذلك وفق تصريحات وزارة الداخلية.  كما قُتل 64 شخصا على الأقل وجرح مئات آخرون في أعمال العنف التي اندلعت إثر محاولة قوات الأمن فض الاحتجاجات المعارضة للحكومة
ووصف شهود عيان ومعتقلون سابقون لمنظمة العفو الدولية ما تعرضوا له من ضرب وسوء معاملة على أيدي عناصر قوات الأمن يوم 25 يناير/ كانون الثاني الماضي
التعرض للضرب في الحجز
تحدث أحد المحتجين عن تعرض المتظاهرين، بما في ذلك النساء والفتيات، للضرب لحظة اعتقالهم عقب قيام قوات الأمن بإطلاق الرصاص الحي في الهواء.  وحُشروا جميعا داخل حافلة ركوب صغيرة قبل أن يتم اقتيادهم إلى أحد أقسام الشرطة القريبة حيث نالوا نصيبهم من الضرب هناك أيضا
وقال أحد المحتجين ممن أُخلي سبيلهم: لاحظت أن جدران الزنزانة كانت ملطخة بالدماء … ولقد تعرضت للضرب المبرح بحيث أنني قد أُلقي بي من جانب إلى آخر داخل الغرفة. وتعرضت للصفع على وجهي، وضُربت على رأسي، وشُتمت لانتقادي الشرطة والجيش…  وقالت لي إحدى الفتيات فيما بعد أن الضابط خلع حذائه وضربها به على جميع أنحاء جسدها وعلى وجهها أيضا
وقال المتظاهر إنه قد أُعصبت عيون المعتقلين في أقسام الشرطة وتعرضوا للضرب المبرح على جميع أنحاء الجسد والوجه.  وتعرض عدد من المحتجزين، بما في ذلك الأطفال، للضرب المبرح بحيث لم يعودوا قادرين على المشي.  وكان أحدهم ينزف من رأسه، فيما مُزقت ملابس آخر وقُطعت
وعلى الرغم من أنه ضُبط وهو يحمل لافتات ومنشورات عليها شعارات مناوئة للإخوان المسلمين والجيش في آن معا، إلا أن ذلك المحتج اتُهم بالانتساب لعضوية جماعة محظورة – وهي التهمة التي تُسند عادة إلى الذين يُشتبه بأنهم من أنصار جماعة الإخوان المسلمين
وقال آخرون لمنظمة العفو الدولية أنهم قد شهدوا صعق محتجزين بالكهرباء
ولم يقتصر الأمر على البالغين الذين وجدوا أنفسهم مستهدفين من قبل قوات الأمن في ذلك اليوم.  فلقد تحول يوم الذكرى الثالثة للثورة إلى كابوس بالنسبة للفتاة سمر البالغة من العمر 15 عاما (وليس هذا هو اسمها الحقيقي).  فلقد ألقت جماعة موالية للحكومة، بينها نساء، القبض عليها وسط القاهرة، وقاموا بضربها وسحلها على الأرض مما تسبب بكسر أضلاعها وتمزيق ملابسها قبيل تسليمها للشرطة، التي اتهمتها بالانتساب لعضوية جماعة الإخوان المسلمين أو حركة شباب 6 أبريل قبل أن قوموا بإخلاء سبيلها لاحقا
إلا أن محنتها لم تنته عند ذلك الحد.  فبعيد فترة وجيزة استوقفها جنديان واحتجزاها بعد أن عثرا بحوزتها بعد تفتيش حقيبتها على قناع واقٍ من الغاز المسيل للدموع وحقيبة إسعافات أولية  
وقالت أنها اقتيدت إلى مبنى عسكري واحتُجزت رفقة رجال في ساحة خارجية
وقالت سمر: لقد طلبوا من الرجال التجرد من جميع ملابسهم باستثناء الداخلية منها، وأجبروهم على الجثو واستخدموا ما يشبه صاعق (تيزر) كهربائي أسود اللون لصعقهم على أكتافهم وأظهرهم
واحتُجزت سمر هناك طوال يومين قبل أن يتم إخلاء سبيلها
واشتكى محامون لمنظمة العفو الدولية من رفض وكلاء النيابة إحالة المحتجزين إلى الطبيب الشرعي بحجة أن إصاباتهم بسيطة
الاتصال بالمحامين
كما أخبر عدد من المحامين منظمة العفو الدولية أنهم قد مُنعوا من دخول عدد من أماكن الحجز، لا سيما المعسكر التابع لقوات الأمن المركزي على طريق القاهرة – الإسكندرية الصحراوي  
وقال آخرون أن قوات الأمن قد قامت بترهيبهم وتهديدهم بالسلاح.  وأما الذين تمكنوا من دخول بعض مراكز الحجز، بما في ذلك معسكر قوات الأمن المركزي في طره الذي يُحتجز فيه ما لا يقل عن 228 شخصا، فلقد أكدوا أنهم رأوا عددا من المحتجزين وقد بدت آثار كدمات ظاهرة على وجوههم وأنحاء أخرى من أجسادهم.  كما قال المحامون أنه في الوقت الذي سُمح فيه لهم بدخول المعسكر، كانت معظم التحقيقات قد أُنجزت دون حضورهم
وقال عمرو إمام المحامي مع جبهة الدفاع عن متظاهري مصر ومركز هشام مبارك للقانون أن رجلا يرتدي زيا أسود اللون قد هدده بالسلاح عندما طالب بزيارة مجموعة من المحتجزين في قسم شرطة المعادي.  ولقد ضُرب على صدره بعقب البندقية.  وعندما احتج على منعه من زيارة المحتجزين، رفع الرجل بندقيته الآلية وصوبها نحوه.  وهو ما قام به آخرون من عناصر قوات الأمن.  وهددوا بإطلاق النار عليه بعد أن يفرغوا من العد حتى الرقم 10 في حال لم يغادر   
كما خضع العديد من المحتجزين للاستجواب داخل أقسام الشرطة ومعسكرات قوات الأمن المركزي دون السماح لهم بالاتصال مع المحامين – وهو ما يشكل انتهاكا واضحا للقانونين المصري والدولي
وتخشى منظمة العفو الدولية أن العديد من الرجال والنساء والأطفال المعتقلين كانوا يمارسون حقهم في حرية التعبير عن الرأي والتجمع، أو أنهم كانوا من المارة وحسب
وتشمل قائمة المعتقلين أشخاصاً من المتعاطفين مع حركة الإخوان المسلمين، وأعضاء في حركة شباب 6 إبريل وناشطين مستقلين أيضاً  وكما حصل في قضايا أخرى سابقة في أعقاب عزل محمد مرسي، فيواجه هؤلاء قائمة طويلة من التهم المتشابهة والتي تتراوح من القتل إلى عرقلة حركة السير.  ولم تبرز النيابة أدلة مادية تربط بين المشتبه بهم وجرائم محددة، ولم يُبذل الكثير من الجهد بغية إثبات المسؤولية الجنائية الفردية
وقال أحد المحتجين لمنظمة العفو الدولية أنه قد أُخلي سبيله فقط بعدما أعلن عن تأييده لوزير الدفاع، عبد الفتاح السيسي
وقد نزل الكثيرون قبل ثلاث سنوات إلى الشوارع إبان الانتفاضة المصرية بغية التعبير عن غضبهم حيال انتهاكات الشرطة ووحشيتها التي أصبحت أمراً روتينياً معتاداً في مصر إبان حكم مبارك
وها هو حيز المعارضة والاحتجاجات المشروعة اليوم وقد بدأ بالتلاشي والاختفاء سريعا
وفي الوقت الذي تم فيه إخلاء سبيل مجموعة من الذين اعتُقلوا في 25 يناير/ كانون الثاني بالكفالة، فلا زالت الغالبية العظمى منهم داخل مراكز الحجز بانتظار انتهاء التحقيقات
ومع استمرار نطاق القمع في البلاد بالتوسع بلا هوادة، أضحت الآمال بالحصول على الحرية والعدالة أكثر بعدا من ذي قبل. وثمة أسئلة تُطرح بشأن الانتخابات الرئاسية والتشريعية القادمة، وإذا ما كانت سوف تُجرى في ظل مناخ يسوده عدم التسامح مع الرأي الآخر

Palestinian Children Face Violence From Israeli Military

Three in four Palestinian children detained by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank last year endured physical violence during arrest and interrogation, according to Defense for Children International Palestine research.
Data compiled by DCI-Palestine from 98 affidavits of Palestinian children aged 12 – 17 also showed that night arrests between midnight and 5 am increased to 56.1 percent from 45.4 percent in 2012. In 21.4 percent of cases, Israeli military, police and security agents held children in solitary confinement for an average of 10 days for interrogation purposes.
“Despite international condemnation and awareness of Israel’s widespread and systematic ill-treatment of Palestinian child prisoners, there have been no practical steps taken to curb violations,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, Accountability Program director at DCI-Palestine. “The international community must demand justice and accountability.”
Israel is the only state to automatically and systematically prosecute children in military courts that lack basic standards of due process. Around 500 – 700 Palestinian children, some as young as 12, are arrested, detained and prosecuted in the Israeli military detention system each year. The majority of Palestinian child detainees are charged with throwing stones. No Israeli children come into contact with the military court system.
DCI-Palestine research shows that children arrive to Israeli interrogation centers blindfolded, bound and sleep deprived. Unlike their Israeli counterparts, Palestinian children have no right to be accompanied by a parent during an interrogation. In 96 percent of cases documented by DCI-Palestine in 2013, children were questioned alone and rarely informed of their rights, particularly their right against self-incrimination.
The interrogation techniques are generally mentally and physically coercive, frequently incorporating a mix of intimidation, threats and physical violence with a clear purpose of obtaining a confession. More than one in five of the 2013 cases, children signed statements in Hebrew, a language they do not understand.



DCI-Palestine demands that Israeli authorities end night arrests, prohibit the use of solitary confinement, and ensure that evidence obtained by force or coercion during interrogations is excluded as evidence in the Israeli military courts. DCI-Palestine calls on Israeli authorities to allow access to legal counsel prior to interrogations and the presence of a parent during interrogations.
Impunity for violations was a significant obstacle in 2013 as DCI-Palestine filed 15 complaints with Israeli authorities concerning the ill-treatment and torture of 10 children while in Israeli military detention. Not a single indictment has been issued against a perpetrator. Many Palestinian families refuse to file complaints for fear of retaliation or simply because they do not believe the system is fair or impartial.
Recent amendments to Israeli military laws concerning children have had little to no impact on their treatment during the critical 24 – 48 hours after an arrest, where most of the ill-treatment occurs at the hands of soldiers, policemen and interrogators.
