Hadith Al-Quds:: The voice of the prisoners rises and shouts in the face of the occupation


Tomorrow, Thursday, about 1,000 Palestinian prisoners will start a strike in rejection of the illegal and inhuman practices of the occupation. They have also taken other steps to express their unified positions, their challenge to the prison administration, and their readiness for confrontation, as they did when they wore what the prison administration calls “Shabas.” Many of these steadfast and patient people have entered new years. Like the prisoner Iyad Yasser Masalmeh, who entered his twenty-first year in captivity and is sentenced to life imprisonment four times, as well as Shuaa Jalal Nayef Kamji, who has been detained since 2003 and is sentenced to 25 years in prison, and Yahya Muhammad Suleiman Al-Rifai, who is sentenced to 50 months in prison, and many others, including brothers.
The worst thing about these Israeli practices is the administrative detention, whereby citizens are imprisoned without any charge being brought against them or the term of their imprisonment being determined. The strike of the prisoners, which begins tomorrow, is a unified and strong stance against the practices of the occupation, and it is expected that this strike will expand and the circle of participants in it will expand. Perhaps this occupation will listen. Closed walls and inhuman or legal treatment..!!
Millions of profits.. and what next?!
The Palestine Exchange announced that it had received the interim financial statements for the first half of this year for 47 companies. These data confirmed that the profits of these companies amounted to $200 million. The profits of banks for the same period amounted to approximately 69 million dollars, and other institutions also achieved profits in the millions, although the numbers were certainly lower, and these profits are distributed to shareholders, including a large number of citizens.
These facts confirm, according to Nihad Kamal, the general manager of the Palestine Exchange, the normal stability and the expected performance of these companies.
And the whole people are with stability and economic progress, but everyone wonders where these millions of profits go and why the bulk of them are not invested in serving society, people and the national economy in its various forms, knowing that everyone knows that there are those who invest and provide community services and for economic and political development, but what is required It is more and broader because the vast majority of citizens suffer from difficult economic conditions and harsh living conditions.
We are with these companies and institutions and the services they provide, but we demand something more and broader and commensurate with our circumstances and aspirations for the future and the challenges we face..!!
