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.

MATTHEW 28

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.

Complaint Against UK, Germany and USA at Egyptian Court

S1201424152119A group of Palestinian refugees filed a lawsuit at an Egyptian court against the UK, Germany and the United States to ask for international condemnation of these countries that caused the loss of the Palestinian national rights and territories by helping Israel to create its entity in Palestine and thus caused the displacement of millions of Palestinians from their land.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a “Popular Campaign to sue the United Kingdom for giving what they do not own to those who do not deserve”, a group formed by activists and headed by Dr. Awni Salim Al-Habit, a Doctor of Political Science. The Egyptian court stated that March 17 2014 is scheduled as a date for a hearing from the complainants.
Dr al-Habit said to Al-Quds newspaper in Jerusalem: “When I prepared my doctoral thesis, I found that Germany has a sense of guilt because of the holocaust, which was brought by Hitler to the jews, and that they are still paying compensation to people and to the israeli government to atone for their own guilt. I will do the same steps as those followed by the jews and get a judgment that condemns and punishes the countries that participated and contributed to the Palestinian tragedy and the suffering of our people”.

العدالة المصرية تنظر في دعوى قضائية ضد ألمانيا, بريطانيا وأمريكا تطالب بالاعتراف بالمسئولية الدولية تجاه الشعب الفلسطينى
قررت محكمة جنوب القاهرة الابتدائية بزينهم تأجيل دعوى التعويض والإلزام والاعتراف بالمسئولية الدولية عن الأضرار التى أصابت الشعب الفلسطينى ضد مسئولين دوليين
الدعوة مقامة من الدكتور عونى سليم الهابط “فلسطينى الجنسية، ضد كل من رئيس وزراء المملكة المتحدة ووزير الخارجية والمالية البريطانى وسفير المملكة المتحدة، بالقاهرة ووزير الخارجية الالمانى ووزير المالية وسفير المانيا بالقاهرة ورئيس الولايات المتحدة ووزير الخارجية والمالية الامريكى وسفير الولايات المتحدة بالقاهرة، وإلزام المدعى عليهم بجبر الضرر الذى اصاب الشعب الفسلطينى جراء فعلهم غير المشروع دوليا، وإجبارهم على التقدم بمشروع قرار لمجلس الامن الدولى باقامة الدولة الفلسطينية على حدود 1967 وعودة اللاجئين، وتعويضهم تعويضا جماعيا، وتعويض المدعى بمبلغ 2 مليون جنيه بالتضامن فيما بينهم لجلسة 17 مارس للمذكرات
كان الممثل القانونى للدكتور عونى سليم الهابط “فلسطينى الجنسية” ومؤسس الحملة الشعبية الفلسطينية لمقاضاة المملكة المتحدة البريطانية والولايات المتحدة الامريكية ودولة ألمانيا، قد تقدم بحافظة مستندات تفيد أنه بتاريخ 2 نوفمبر 1917 أصدر اللورد بلفور وزير خارجية بريطانيا وعده المشئوم فى صورة رسالة إلى روتشيلد الصهيونى، وأنه بهذا الوعد أعطى من لا يملك من لا يستحق، حيث ان مسئولية الدولة عن أفعالها غير المشروعة تقوم بمجرد انتهاكات لاحكام القانون الدولى ولا يتطلب الخطأ فى تقرير مسئوليتها اذ لا يمكن التعرف على ارادة الدولة اى هل ارتكبت هذا الانتهاك متعمدة أم كانت مهملة
فصدور وعد بلفور بإقامة وطن لليهود فى فلسطين بل الأكثر من ذلك بذل الحكومة البريطانية غاية الجهد لإقامة هذا الوطن والذى حققته الحكومة البريطانية فعلا على أرض الواقع والذى ترتب عليه ضياع وطن فلسطين وتهجير وإبادة الشعب وارتكاب المذابح الجماعية ضده، وهو فعل غير مشروع لانتهاكه احكام القانون الدولى وهو أساس المسئولية الدولية لحكومة المملكة المتحدة البريطانية عن مالحق بالشعب الفلسطينى منذ ان قامت دولة اسرائيل على حسابه، وتكون المملكة المتحدة مسئولة كاملا عن تعويض الشعب الفلسطينى فرديا وجماعيا ومن بينهم المدعى
وأضاف المدعى فى دعواه أن الحكومة الالمانية ارتكبت فعلا غير مشروع رتب مسئوليتها الدولية عن ما ارتكبته اسرائيل من جرائم فى حق الفلسطينين حين ساعدتهم على ارتكاب فعلها غير المشروع بأمدادها بالمال المخصص لاستقدام اليهود من كافة انحاء العالم وتوطينهم فى فلسطين وامدادهم بالسلاح، وأوضح مثال على ذلك اتفاقية التعويضات التى منحت بموجبها المانيا لاسرائيل مليارات الماركات
وتابع المدعى بأنه انتهكت حكومة الولايات المتحدة الامريكية جميع أحكام القانون الدولى وانتهكت المشروعية الدولية بما رتب مسئوليتها الدولية تجاه ما ارتكبته اسرائيل من عمل غير مشروع من ازالة وطن وشعب وجرائم تهجير قسرى بأن امدت اسرائيل بالمال والسلاح وساندتها فى المنظمات الدولية ضد الشعب الفلسطينى
وأكد المدعى أنه طبقا للمادة 163 من القانون المدنى المصرى على من ارتكب خطأ سبب ضرر للغير يلزم من ارتكبه بالتعويض ، وحيث ان اى فلسطينى مثل المدعى قد اصابته اضرار مادية ومعنوية، حيث ان محكمة القاهرة المدنية مختصة بنظر هذه الدعوى طبقا للمواد 30 و29 و49 من قانون المرافعات المدنية والتجارية حيث ان المدعى عليهم لهم موطن ومحل اقامة فى القاهرة وهى السفارة، وان جمهورية مصر العربية قد قامت بالتوقيع على المعاهدات الدولية الخاصة بالمعاقبة على جريمة ابادة الجنس البشرى وبمجرد التوقيع تعتبر المعاهدة جزء من القانون المصرى وتختص المحاكم بالفصل فى هذه الدعاوى، وحيث ان المدعى مقيم بجمهورية مصر العربية وتنص الاتفاقية الخاصة باللاجئين على التمتع بالشخصية القانونية وحقه فى التقاضى فى الدولة المقيم فيها بالاضافة إلى ان قطاع غزة تابع اداريا لجمهورية مصر العربية

Torture And Brutal Aggression At PA Jails

palesA report about the aggressions of the PA’s security agencies – AOHR UK – At the time when Palestinians are living disastrous circumstances caused by the aggressions of the Israeli occupation which affected everything including holy places, security agencies of the Palestinian Authority practice arbitrary actions against Palestinian citizens in the West Bank. It carries out organized detentions and interrogations. It also sacks citizens from their jobs.
These actions undermine the rights of the Palestinians and strike their immunity in front of the continuous aggressions of the Israeli occupation and its sellers.
Beside the already corrupted administrations of the Palestinian Authority, such actions have swamped the Palestinians in dire economic circumstances. Thus they became busy in protests and demonstrations against prices’ hikes in order to improve standards of their livelihood. Looking after their economic problems, less attention is being given to the Israeli harms on the Palestinian issue. This strange situation has never existed during the time of the Israeli occupation before Oslo agreement.
To shed the light on the sufferings of the Palestinians, the Arab Organization for Human Rights in UK issued this report. It exposes to the public the inhumane practices of the security agencies of the Palestinian Authority which keep up with the Israeli aggressions. This is also to contribute to strengthening the human rights front in the Palestinian territories and to enable the Palestinians to encounter the Israeli violations throughout holding inciters against their rights accountability for their actions.
This report covers the period January to July 2012 during which AOHR monitored political detentions, summonses, torture, degrading treatment and employment dismissals affecting men and women. The research was based on information derived from the victims who were detained, their families, eye-witnesses and some NGOs. It also relied on reports issued by the US Congress and documents issued by the European Union Police Mission which show the amount of financial aid provided to Palestinian Authority security agencies. A sample of 300 detainees was asked questions about their detention by the PA as well as by the Israelis; the impact of detention on their lives; and the impact on the Palestinian issue. In order to reveal the extent of the catastrophe, it was necessary to place research outcomes in the context of violations by Palestinian Authority security bodies over the past five years.



The data collected from June 2007 to the end of 2011 indicates that PA security forces detained 13,271 Palestinian citizens, 96 per cent of whom were subjected to various methods of torture resulting in the killing of six detainees and causing chronic illness in others. Ninety-nine per cent of the detainees had experienced detention by the Israelis after which they were also detained by the PA on the same charges. In the same period the Israeli army carried out detention campaigns and raids resulting in thousands of Palestinians being detained; 9,765 according to official statistics, most of whom had also been detained by the PA in the past. They were generally charged based on confessions extracted under torture by PA security officers.
Since the beginning of 2011 the PA is supposed to have eased political detentions and ended systematic torture, but the data collected in 2012 suggests that that has not been the case. A campaign of summons and detentions has taken place. Most of the detainees had already been detained by PA and Israeli security agencies for prolonged periods. The detainees complain that these moves paralyse their lives, disrupt family life and create great psychological suffering. This, they say, amounts to systematic torture.
Between January and July 2012, PA security agencies detained 572 citizens and summonsed 770 more, among them women and old people, who were often forced to wait from early morning to the evening before being “interviewed”. Some were “summonsed” daily for weeks on end, while others were kept under virtual house arrest. The period also witnessed raids against universities, hospitals and houses in order to arrest people wanted for protesting against the Israeli occupation. The PA officers confiscated equipment and personal cash, which often went missing after the searches.
There were also cases of severe torture, and instances where victims were kicked, punched, sworn at and subjected to other degrading treatment. This suggests that systematic torture may have ceased only because there is no one left to do it to.
The exact number of detainees in PA prisons is unknown; it fluctuates between 40 and 85 detainee, depending on the campaign. The various PA security agencies have about 43 centres at their disposal, ranging from the Central Prison to detention stations.
Security tactics include the dismissal of employees from their jobs as a form of harassment. At least 73 people were made unemployed in the period under review, and it is estimated that around 3,200 have faced the same injustice since 2005. Harassment also includes students with “security records” being unable to find employment, acquire a driving licence or open a business.
Naturally, the Israelis are not entirely absent from this scenario, as the PA’s activities are routinely carried out following full coordination with the occupation authorities. In the same period, the Israelis detained about 1,300 Palestinians, 30 per cent of them children. Jerusalem and Hebron saw the most detention operations, with 550 citizens detained in Hebron and 80 children in Jerusalem. It’s worth noting that detentions and summons executed by the PA security agencies surpassed those by the Israelis.
The sample study from our research clarifies the extent of violations against Palestinian citizens and highlights the scale of suffering caused interchangeably by security agencies affiliated to the PA and the Israeli occupation forces. In response to the question, “Have you been detained before by the occupation?” 98 per cent answered yes; 59.7 per cent of the sample clarified that Israeli courts charged them based on information provided by PA security agencies, while 99.7 per cent believed that their detention was carried out in coordination with the occupation authorities.
The data collected also shows that 51 per cent of the detainees or those who were summonsed fall within the 25-59 age range. The security agencies appear to have no concern for the age or gender of those who are being detained or summonsed. A significant number of the detainees are elderly people aged 60 and above, representing 11.3 per cent of the total; women made up 15.3 per cent. Of the sample, 39.3 per cent are students, 38 per cent of whom confirmed that their studies were interrupted as a result of detention.
The sample revealed a decrease in the percentage of employed people, with 34.7 per cent saying that they still work in private employment, while 12.7 per cent of those surveyed said they lost their jobs on account of decisions taken by the security agencies.
Some of those surveyed indicated that they were detained during the research period for periods of one day to a week; they represent 71 per cent. Regarding respect for judicial decisions, 9 per cent of the detainees affirmed that the security agencies refused to implement court rulings ordering their discharge. Despite the decision of judges not to refer them to military courts, the statistics show that 5.3 per cent of those surveyed were eventually brought before such courts.
In the same vein, it was revealed that the PA security agencies practice systematic torture of all kinds, with 99.7 per cent of those questioned claiming that they were exposed to degrading treatment; 18.7 per cent experienced severe torture compared to 99 per cent of the sample who stated that they were tortured in previous years by the Palestinian Authority.
With regards to the effect of detention on the lives of the detainees, 60 per cent of those in the study explained that they now suffer from chronic diseases due to torture and the poor conditions in which they were held in detention. On another level, 60 per cent confirmed that repeated or extensive detention reduced them to a state of acute poverty.
Despite the grave human rights violations by the PA security agencies, they continue to enjoyed enormous support from the US and EU.
According to the documents which were obtained, the US has since 2007 provided generous assistance estimated at $658.4 million. For the coming financial year of 2013, the Obama administration has demanded an additional $70 million. The US also undertook to train 6,000 personnel. Thus far, eight battalions have been trained, each one consisting of 500 officers. As for the EU, it has allocated through the European Union Police Mission an estimated $9 million for training the PA police and development of the criminal justice department. Around 7,500 police officers have already been trained.
It is staggering that the PA should, in the shadow of the Arab Spring, cultivate its own system of impunity, in total defiance of its people’s demands for freedom and dignity. They seem to be oblivious of the factors which led to the downfall of the tyrannical regimes across the region. There is absolutely no justification for its acceptance of becoming a sub-contracted security instrument of the Israeli occupation,
crushing at every opportunity the legitimate aspirations of their people for freedom and self-determination.
The PA’s human rights violations against the Palestinian people have amplified their suffering under the Israelis and undermined their national immunity and struggle for self-determination. It is clearly obvious that the PA hasn’t learnt from its experiences with the Israelis or from the uprisings in the Arab lands. On the contrary, it remains firmly committed to its campaign of detention and destroying national solidarity while serving foreign agendas which strike the Palestinian national freedom project at its core.
As the Palestinian Authority has got an observer status in the UN, it is necessary for its leaders to be obligated by the international laws and conventions which protect human rights in the times of war and peace. The state which comes out from under the occupation must be set up on true bases built on the rights of the Palestinian citizen to life and freedom.
After the latest aggressive war against the Gaza strip, the Arabic Organisation for Human Rights in UK expected that all forms of security cooperation between the PA and the Israelis to be stopped. It also expected that political detention and summons to be halted, too. Unfortunately, this has not happen as during the war many Palestinians were detained despite the wide scale solidarity action against the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
AOHR blames complete responsibility for these human rights violations on the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas. However, such violations are classified as dangerous breaches for the Fourth Geneva Convention which protects the rights of citizens under the occupation.
For an urgent action, AOHR call for the Secretary Generals of the UN, Arab League and the Islamic Cooperation Organisation to practice pressure in Mahmoud Abbas in order to stop all kinds of political detention as that it harms the interests of the whole Palestinians.

Sixty-year Old Man Beaten to Death by Police Officer

11-01-2014AOHR – UK – 2014-01-11, sixty-year old Egyptian Mahroosa Badawi beaten to death by an Egyptian police officer. The Arab Organisation for Human Rightsin UK (AOHR) received a grievance letter from Hani Said, member of the defence team representing many Egyptians arrested during the crack-down on Rabaa Al-Adawiya and Annahda Square sit-ins, revealing that an Egyptian security force broke into his house to arrest him and, when they could not find him, beat his elderly mother to death.
Said documented how the police came to his house in Giza governorate at 2am on the morning of Friday the 3rd of January 2014 to arrest him on the background of his work as member of the defence team representing several Egyptians opposed to the coup.
Said was not home but his wife and his mother, Mahroosa Badawi Rajab (born 10 July 1953) were. The police force searched the house and asked the wife and mother about Said’s whereabouts and both denied knowing where he was at the time. A police officer made several abusive remarks and threatened to drag his mother across the floor and shoot her if she did not tell them where Said was. When the mother failed to respond, he hit her on the head with the butt of his pistol killing her almost instantly.
They threatened the wife the same would happen to her and to Said if she filed a complaint. Hani Said could not attend his mother’s funeral or file an official complaint for fear they might come after his wife. An official death certificate recorded a death by natural causes.



The AOHR UK asserts that the murder of Mrs. Mahroosa Badawi at the hands of security forces is further evidence of the moral and professional deterioration of security apparatuses which have shown nothing but total disregard for human rights in the absence of legal accountability.
The AOHR UK calls upon the international community and the UN secretary-general to take quick measures to put an end to the abuse of human rights in Egypt and form a fact-finding mission to investigate the thousands of crimes committed in Egypt in the aftermath of the 3rd of July military coup.

Cairo massacre: After today, what Muslim will ever trust the ballot box again?

massacreRobert Fisk – Independent - Wednesday 14 August 2013 -  This marks a tragic turning point, from which it will take Egypt years to recover  – The Egyptian crucible has broken. The “unity” of Egypt – that all-embracing, patriotic, essential glue that has bound the nation together since the overthrow of the monarchy in 1952 and the rule of Nasser – has melted amid the massacres, gun battles and fury of yesterday’s suppression of the Muslim Brotherhood. A hundred dead – 200, 300 “martyrs” – makes no difference to the outcome: for millions of Egyptians, the path of democracy has been torn up amid live fire and brutality. What Muslim seeking a state based on his or her religion will ever trust the ballot box again?
This is the real story of today’s bloodbath. Who can be surprised that some Muslim Brotherhood supporters were wielding Kalashnikovs on the streets of Cairo? Or that supporters of the army and its “interim government” – in middle-class areas of the capital, no less – have seized their weapons or produced their own and started shooting back. This is not Brotherhood vs army, though that is how our Western statesmen will mendaciously try to portray this tragedy. Today’s violence has created a cruel division within Egyptian society that will take years to heal; between leftists and secularists and Christian Copts and Sunni Muslim villagers, between people and police, between Brotherhood and army. That is why Mohamed el-Baradei resigned tonight. The burning of churches was an inevitable corollary of this terrible business.
massacre 2In Algeria in 1992, in Cairo in 2013 – and who knows what happens in Tunisia in the coming weeks and months? – Muslims who won power, fairly and democratically through the common vote, have been hurled from power. And who can forget our vicious siege of Gaza when Palestinians voted – again democratically – for Hamas? No matter how many mistakes the Brotherhood made in Egypt – no matter how promiscuous or fatuous their rule – the democratically elected president Mohamed Morsi was overthrown by the army. It was a coup, and John McCain was right to use that word.
The Brotherhood, of course, should long ago have curbed its amour propre and tried to keep within the shell of the pseudo-democracy that the army permitted in Egypt – not because it was fair or acceptable or just, but because the alternative was bound to be a return to clandestinity, to midnight arrests and torture and martyrdom. This has been the historical role of the Brotherhood – with periods of shameful collaboration with British occupiers and Egyptian military dictators – and a return to the darkness suggests only two outcomes: that the Brotherhood will be extinguished in violence, or will succeed at some far distant date – heaven spare Egypt such a fate – in creating an Islamist autocracy.

The pundits went about their poisonous work today before the first corpse was in its grave. Can Egypt avoid a civil war? Will the “terrorist” Brotherhood be wiped out by the loyal army? What about those who demonstrated before Morsi’s overthrow? Tony Blair was only one of those who talked of impending “chaos” in bestowing their support on General Abdul-Fattah al-Sisi. Every violent incident in Sinai, every gun in the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood will now be used to persuade the world that the organisation – far from being a poorly armed but well-organised Islamist movement – was the right arm of al-Qa’ida.
History may take a different view. It will certainly be hard to explain how many thousands – yes, perhaps millions – of educated, liberal Egyptians continued to give their wholehearted support to the general who spent much time after the overthrow of Mubarak justifying the army’s virginity tests of female protesters in Tahrir Square. Al-Sisi will come under much scrutiny in the coming days; he was always reputedly sympathetic to the Brotherhood, although this idea may have been provoked by his wife’s wearing of the niqab. And many of the middle-class intellectuals who have thrown their support behind the army will have to squeeze their consciences into a bottle to accommodate future events.
Could Nobel Prize-holder and nuclear expert Mohamed el-Baradei, the most famous personality – in Western eyes, but not in Egyptian – in the ‘interim government’, whose social outlook and integrity looked frighteningly at odds with ‘his’ government’s actions today, have stayed in power? Of course not. He had to go, for he never intended such an outcome to his political power gamble when he agreed to prop up the army’s choice of ministers after last month’s coup.  But the coterie of writers and artists who insisted on regarding the coup as just another stage in the revolution of 2011 will – after the blood and el-Baradei’s resignation – have to use some pretty anguished linguistics to escape moral blame for these events.
Stand by, of course, for the usual jargon questions. Does this mean the end of political Islam? For the moment, certainly; the Brotherhood is in no mood to try any more experiments in democracy – a refusal which is the immediate danger in Egypt. For without freedom, there is violence. Will Egypt turn into another Syria? Unlikely. Egypt is neither a sectarian state – it never has been, even with 10 per cent of its people Christian – nor an inherently violent one. It never experienced the savagery of Algerian uprisings against the French, or Syrian, Lebanese and Palestinian insurgencies against both the British and the French. But ghosts aplenty will hang their heads in shame today; that great revolutionary lawyer of the 1919 rising, for example, Saad Zaghloul. And General Muhammad Neguib whose 1952 revolutionary tracts read so much like the demands of the people of Tahrir in 2011.
But yes, something died in Egypt today. Not the revolution, for across the Arab world the integrity of ownership – of people demanding that they, not their leaders, own their own country – remains, however bloodstained. Innocence died, of course, as it does after every revolution. No, what expired today was the idea that Egypt was the everlasting mother of the Arab nation, the nationalist ideal, the purity of history in which Egypt regarded all her people as her children. For the Brotherhood victims today – along with the police and pro-government supporters – were also children of Egypt. And no one said so. They had become the “terrorists”, the enemy of the people. That is Egypt’s new heritage

Allegations Around IFJ Presidency Elections

The Palestinian journalist syndicate and several Palestinian newspapers have published altered results of the election of 28th Congress of the International Federation of Journalists IFJ, World Congress which was held from 4 – 7 June 2013 in Dublin Castle in Ireland. The PJS and the newspapers claimed that the president of the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate PJS Mr. Abedl Nasser Al Najjar won the position of vice President of IFJ
Wafa, the official Palestinian News and Information Agencyreported that the President Mahmoud Abbas congratulated Al-Najjar for being elected as a vice-president of the IFJ. He also praised the important national role that Palestinian journalists play defending the Palestinian national rights cause, freedom and human dignity. Wafa published this report ONLY in Arabic language.
Upon my request Mr. Jim Boumelha, President of the “IFJ”, he confirmed that the data published on the IFJ website is correct. He said: “Indeed Abdel Nasser has topped the poll with 283 votes as an “adviser”, that is a member of the Executive Committee. The three vice-presidents are Younes M’jahed (Senior Vice-President), Yasmina Popovic (Vice-President) and Celso Schroder (Vice-President).”

According to IFJ Website, Mr. Najjar was elected as one among 16 advisors to the IFJ. Mr. Najjar received 283 votes, the highest number of votes received by any advisor. Below follow the IFJ reports.
In a close vote, Mr Boumelha was elected with 191 votes, against 178 votes for Mr Leruth (AGJPB, Belgium). There were 2 abstentions.  
Due to a discrepancy in the number of votes cast, the Presidium asked delegates to vote on whether another ballot should be held.186 voted against a re-vote, 139 voted for a re-vote, and there were 2 abstentions.  
As a result, the Presidium confirmed that no re-vote would take place, and Mr Boumelha had been officially reelected.  
Following the decision, the delegates from theGerman union (DJV) and Canadian union (CWA-SCA) today decided to leave the World Congress in protest at the procedures used to elect the President. The German union (Ver.di) issued a declaration claiming that the procedures were “not compliant with democratic standards.”   This declaration was later supported by 14 other countries.
