Reproducing the fabricated image of Zionism

Antoine Shalhat

Opinion Writer

Saying that one of the most prominent goals of the protest movement against the legislation plan that the current Israeli government is trying to advance, aimed at weakening the judicial system, is not to prejudice the fabricated image that the Zionist movement has produced of itself, and has become accepted by many countries, as tantamount to exposing the hidden. The goal constitutes, from the beginning, the religion and religion of the leaders of this movement, including politicians and activists.


It can be added that one of their most important goals is embodied in the reproduction of Zionism by asserting that its geneology indicates that it is a movement for the national liberation of the Jewish people, which established a “democratic oasis” in the authoritarian desert of the East, which still bears the connotation of a “villa in the forest”, as it expresses the view of Israel. And most of its Jewish population to the Middle East, where barbarism, devastation, backwardness and fundamentalism prevail around them, while they are only, in their "village", civilized and advanced, as one of the former prime ministers, Ehud Barak, repeated after the Arab Spring in 2011. He is the one who finally returned with force to Spotlight, as one of the leaders of the protests against the plan to weaken the judiciary.


On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the founding of Israel, which fell on yesterday, the day before yesterday he published an article in Haaretz newspaper, in which he considered that the aforementioned plan carries within it a coup against Zionism, as it is the rescue ship that fulfilled the dream of the return of the Jews to their historical homeland. He stressed that despite the ancient peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan and the fresh Abrahamic normalization agreements, which could expand, the Middle East has always been a harsh and hostile environment. Israel should not underestimate any threat, and it must prepare for future tests, including threats from Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, noting that the Palestinian Authority is moving more and more away from meeting Israeli expectations from it.


Perhaps it should also be noted that although the doors of protests were closed to those calling for a link between the current movement and the future of peace by abandoning the occupation and its ideology, few voices among the Israelis themselves crept in from unofficial outlets, confirming that the insistence of most of the protest leaders and activists on the goal of defense On the "only democracy in the Middle East", if it does not reflect, in depth, a desire for Israel to turn into a normal state subject to all United Nations resolutions and international legitimacy, then it will remain suspected of being the kind of insistence that aims to continue circumventing its being An apartheid state, as confirmed recently by several international and Israeli human rights organizations, in direct connection with its establishment on the crimes of ethnic cleansing in 1948 and with the occupation in 1967.


Can it be said, in light of this, that this issue will continue to be subject to a process of accumulation?... If the establishment of Israel reminds us of the Palestinian Nakba, then we should recall here, and on the occasion of the anniversary of this founding, that the use of the term Nakba in the Israeli discourse circulated to depict cases Most of the disasters, he went through a similar process of entering through unofficial windows, and of accumulating to some extent. This is despite the fact that many governmental and popular measures were taken to counter this matter, culminating in the enactment of the “Nakba Law” in 2011, which aims to prevent the commemoration of the Palestinian Nakba, and to suppress initiatives to teach the country’s history differently from the Israeli narrative.


Conversely, it can be said that these silencing attempts kept the issue alive as an open wound that could flare up at any moment. As a matter of fact, following up on the uses of the word Nakba in Hebrew in its Arabic pronunciation has one measure of wit and another of seriousness. Among them, the Israeli poet Yonatan Geffen, who died this week and was previously subjected to a right-wing terrorist attack, because of his political stances, described the re-election of Benjamin Netanyahu in 2015 by saying that “the people chose again who bases their rule on intimidating the people,” considering that the day of the elections is “a catastrophe for the camp.” peace"!

The new kamikazes, the next danger to Russia and China

The two prisoners, Yasser Abu Bakr and Murad Humaidan

The two prisoners, Yasser Abu Bakr and Murad Humaidan

Opinion Writer

On October 28, 2022 AD, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth published an article entitled "The New Kamikazes" in its appendix, referring to the Iranian-made suicide drones that struck Ukraine. In this part, we review the most important things that can be mentioned and commented on in this context:


1- The author of the article followed a zigzag path, up and down, and down throughout the pages of his long article, between the feeling of terror and the dilemma experienced by the Israelis and their military and security institutions in front of the development of Iranian capabilities on the one hand, and between the attempts to underestimate the simple technology that the Iranians have reached on the other hand.


2- At the same time, he was reaching results that aroused many concerns in him, which came in the form of many questions he raised in the context of his article; To confirm that "the Jews are not the only ones who have minds", and to confirm that the face of the next war will change.


3- The writer conveys and confirms the state of balance of terror imposed by the Iranians on Israel despite his focus on one issue, which is the drones, and at the same time tries to reassure the Israeli public by stressing that Israel has succeeded in developing its defense systems and is continuing to develop them, the latest of which is the laser system, then he cannot deny The state of panic, terror and astonishment that the Israelis will enter into if Hezbollah, Iran's arm in the region, one day manages to strike the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv, an expression that hides much of what works in the hearts of the Israelis in terms of panic and terror.


4- This article and the previous and subsequent articles, reports, statements and political analyzes come to confirm that the Israeli government, army and people now consider that the first strategic threat that threatens it is coming from Iran, and not from the conflict with the Palestinians, especially after its internal security has been significantly strengthened through the absence of operations The guerrilla movement, especially the explosive one, is internal. Today, only 8% of the Israeli people (according to the latest polls) consider that the most important issue in Israel is the conflict with the Palestinians.


5- "Ehud Ya'ari," the Israeli political analyst on the Israeli channel 12, considered that the war with Iran is ongoing, and the form of war that the Iranians want with Israel is not direct confrontation, but rather through the use of its arms in the region to occupy Israel in it, and considered that the missiles that were launched from Lebanon On 4-9-2023 AD on northern Israel, the Hamas rockets launched from Gaza and the operations in the West Bank, the latest of which was the shooting of three settlements in Al-Jiftlik, all of which come within the framework of this war that Iran is supporting.


6- The attack on Jerusalem and the worshipers in Al-Aqsa during Ramadan, despite its seriousness, turned into a transient event when all eyes were intentionally directed towards the Iranian threat, which stands with its Hezbollah arm behind the missile launches from Lebanon.


7- The official and unofficial Israeli discourse directed its accusations publicly at Hamas and secretly at Hezbollah, which created a balance of terror with Israel more than anyone else, and behind it Iran. All of this confirms that Iran is the target today for Israel and is the danger that must be eliminated.


8- Under the title “The Address is Tehran” in an article by the Israeli writer Yossi Yehoshua on 4-9-2023 AD in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, it stated: “With the deliberations and discussions that the Israeli army held in the past days, the army presented a clear position in which it said: We In direct confrontation with the Iranians, who are trying to heat up all fronts, and who have turned the Palestinians into their special envoy for terrorism in the West Bank and Gaza and among the Arabs of Israel.


9- The same writer adds in the same article: "The right opportunity has come for the Iranians to pay Israel the price for its attack on the lands of Syria and Iran, and that this is with supreme instructions from Khamenei."


10- Thus, matters become more and more clear. The title is Tehran, and Israel is preparing for its next war with it.

11- There is no doubt that Israel is one of the most important arms producers in the world, especially high-tech weapons, which made many countries feel compelled to strengthen their relations with them, with the aim of obtaining advanced weapons, which enabled them to be among the central countries.


12- The central countries, in which knowledge has become the essential element, work to reproduce underdevelopment by widening the gap between them and the peripheral countries and not enabling them to achieve sustainable development, which is what preserves the future of Israel in the Middle East as a center.


13- Normalization (in other words, normalization) with the countries of the Middle East region, especially the Arabs, comes as a result of Israeli superiority and within the context of consolidating the political, military and economic role of Israel as a center and keeping other economies in the region as parties to a sustainable backwardness belonging to this center.


14- The strength of such a force, according to this strategy, will curb the movement of the enemies. Therefore, any Iranian move that tries to get out of the position of the peripheral states and towards approaching the influential regional center countries in the region will be met with a strong reaction from the influential central state in the region (Israel), which pushes Israel To work in several directions:


■ First: Continuing to develop, produce knowledge and modern weapons, and contain global technology and continuous development in it.


■ Second: Continuing to open the horizons of "normalization" with the Arab countries and the countries of the region and developing them to the extent that it facilitates luring the economies of these countries to become dependent and unable to disengage from the Israeli political and economic influence and under the tutelage of the Israeli military and security policy.


■ Third: Continuing to drag the United States of America to support it in its anti-Iranian tendencies and development of its military capabilities, by escalating sanctions against it and strangling its economy.


■ Fourth: Continuing to strike and pursue Iran's arms in the region and on all fronts assumed by Israel, whether in the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon or Syria.


15- A military strike against Iran is a matter of time, and the prerequisites for that are clear, which is represented by the continuation of sanctions on Iran and their gradual doubling, similar to what happened in Saddam’s Iraq when the military strike was prepared for with sanctions that lasted 13 years.


16- The delay in this strike stems from the American-Israeli need to ensure that there is no threat to Israel's security as a result of the strike, especially from Hezbollah and perhaps Hamas.


17- Therefore, America and Israel are active in attempts to dismantle or dissolve these parties from within and preoccupy them with their internal affairs by creating internal conflicts that dissipate efforts to develop tools of military resistance in them, and preoccupy them with efforts to preserve governance and power:


A- It can be pointed out that the continuation of the Palestinian division and the sharp disagreement between Fatah and Hamas and the attempts to annihilate it have become an Israeli-American supreme security issue to neutralize their danger and push the Palestinian cause into a dark corner and on the sidelines of the issues that the world aspires to resolve.


B- It is also possible to refer to the continuation of the Lebanese sectarian division and the sharp disagreement between Hezbollah and the rest of the parties of other sects in Lebanon, and attempts to deepen it, which is also an Israeli-American supreme security interest aimed at neutralizing the threat of Hezbollah's military power.


18- What Israel is doing on a daily basis of high-accuracy security intelligence penetration into Syria and its attack on convoys carrying weapons for Hezbollah - according to its claim - and its attempts to prevent Hezbollah from obtaining technologies to improve the performance of its missiles and make them more accurate, and Israel's development of its defense systems against missiles and drones and monitoring Billions of dollars for that, all in preparation for what's to come.


19- The balance of terror that Iran creates through its arms, especially Hezbollah, forces Israel to sit squatting, waiting for the moment when these arms are neutralized from the next battlefield, to pounce on Iran. Undoubtedly, it will be a severe strike that will destroy all of Iran's nuclear and military facilities.


20- The goal is Tehran, and behind this goal is deterring everyone around it or supporting it. Therefore, Israel is the next danger, not only to the region, but also to Russia and China, and this is what you must understand.

Regulating cultural and ethical rules, a condition and a condition at the same time

Ahmed Qatamesh

Ahmed Qatamesh

Opinion Writer

the first episode

At the outset, he realized that this section is an introduction to the second section, which is the basis and engine of this approach, which he opened by saying:


The Palestinian is no longer an orphan. Now there is a broad map of real movements, states and leaders that put Palestine on their agenda, which necessitated not only the law of siding with justice and rejecting injustice, despite the importance of this moral factor, but also to chart the future of the region. Palestine is positioned in the face of racist colonialism and imperial domination, and therefore it is a cornerstone of the resistance front, which has proven its ability to withstand, clash and build up in a way that really qualifies it to draw the future of the region, not as an ideological slogan as was the case before, but rather as a directed ideological slogan and practical capabilities, and this can only be By passing through the Palestinian gate.


In order not to repeat what I have published in previous articles, this text will go to other areas, beginning with the indication that the Palestinian people are here to stay, as was the case with dozens of peoples who were subjected to colonialism and were included in the stage of national liberation after the Second World War. Palestinian history is missing, but today it stands at the turning point of a new phase. Just as the illusions (that Palestine is without a people) and (the old ones die and the young are forgotten) and (normalization without the Palestinian) as part of (Abraham’s plan to besiege and confront Iran) and (the Arabs submit to force) and (Lebanon is the beginning of a new Middle East) and (the fall of Damascus paves the way for For the fall of Baghdad and Tehran), and on the other hand, the American strategy shifted from (military occupation) to (a strategy of inciting an extremist religious force to ignite the fire and then seize it) published by the American press in 2013 and from it to (the intellectual soft war strategy to aggravate the internal situation...) in addition to that the permissibility of all What is Palestinian, all new plans will fail, but why?


Not because the Palestinians are more than 15 million and cling to the banner of struggle, and if one arm bends, another arm rises, and if one generation passes, another generation replaces it. Habash, but for the objective factor, which is the most weighty and effective, i.e. the blowing of new winds and a new spirit over the region and the world, a new phase whose title is the decline of the hegemony, prestige and power of the powers and monopolies that hijacked history in recent decades and plundered and humiliated the globe from one end to the other. This stage leaves and is formed in its wombs Stage factors that witness the rise of forces, systems, and peoples seeking liberation and sovereignty (the forces of national liberation, independent development, and the forces of social and cultural liberation). . This is so far excluded.



Accordingly, no matter how hard yesterday's forces tried to crucify history during yesterday's stage, they will not succeed. Did feudalism, its ideology, its nobles, and its palaces succeed in preventing the capitalist transformation, whose intentions began in Italy in the sixteenth century and intensified in Britain in the seventeenth century, and its drama was manifested in the French Revolution of 1789 and the subsequent changes? Did the forces of colonialism and capitalism succeed in preventing the decline of colonialism and the independence of dozens of colonies, and did the invasion of 14 European armies succeed in smashing “the egg before it hatched”?

That is, there are three major failures (the failure of feudalism and its ideology, which lasted for hundreds and hundreds of years, the failure of colonialism, and the failure of deep classes and institutions in tsarist Russia.


And closer to that, have the conspiracies, sanctions, demonization campaigns, and misinformation succeeded in overthrowing, dismantling, or paralyzing the Iranian Republic, and blocking the road to its independence project and its possession of the factors that made it a regional power, the backbone, and the vital support for the axis of resistance?


The wise d. Since the outbreak of the Iranian revolution in 1979, Habash has stated more than once that it is a (progressive revolution), as it enjoys a broad popular base and is not just an elite or a coup. km 2 and the second country in terms of gas reserves.


The thinker Karim Marwa wrote about alliances in the Arab environment, while the philosopher Alexander Dugin crystallized a vision of multipolarity and alliances on a global level, including the Middle East region, in line with Mao Zedong's saying (from reality to awareness, and from awareness to practice). Human beings make their own history and social awareness. And their choices...


The new winds and the new spirit are a combination of profound transformations that go far in the right to self-determination, getting rid of the dictates of the imperial center, the culture of excessive selfishness and unbridled arrogance, the acquisition of 3% of most of the wealth of the globe, 25% of humanity below the poverty line, 800 unemployed, and 900 million who drink polluted water. Hundreds of millions live in shanty towns, slums, and destructive social pests... Not to mention the spread of wars, the most important of which is the Atlantic war against Russia, i.e. the "blood mill in Ukraine" by a Russian academic.


This war puts history at a turning point and establishes a new stage. And Engels, who predicted in the late nineteenth century "the fall of dozens of crowns." There are sufficient grounds to say that the power of multinational and transnational monopolies will recede and evaporate oligarchy and the local tools associated with it in many countries, and this is observed today in Latin America (10% of humanity). ) And in Russia and Pakistan (a nuclear country with 220 million people) and rebellions in more than one African country... I dare not say that whoever does not adapt to the new winds will find himself in a clash with the direction of the movement of history.


Whoever follows the official Chinese documents notices without much trouble that China is not only turning into the world’s factory, but also a hub for technology and the last leaps of the technical and digital revolution and the ability to implement development projects in the “periphery countries” at costs that do not reach half of the costs of Western capitalist companies and based on (the priorities of these countries and without conditions political and on the basis of mutual benefit, at a time when the human culture against Americanized globalization is growing (in the most important meeting for the establishment of capitalist globalization in which 116 monopolies participated, including more than 100 American monopolies) backed, of course, by the United States Press and the Associated Press, the two Americas that have the most media influence over the human mind through Its control over the news and most of the movies and programs, not to mention social media and the virtual world.


The programs of the Chinese Communist Party are explicit (building socialism with Chinese characteristics) for about 1.5 billion people, led by a party of 97 million, most of whom are youth organizations. China is proud of its wisdom and longevity, as it does not rush into war (Fidel Castro criticized the Iraqi leadership: You should not have provoked war, and it is better first to unify the home front, and if you wage war, you must continue it to the end ....) and America will obviously not raise the banner of hegemony and globalization on its own However, whatever it does, it will not be able to stop the Chinese development project and the winds of sovereignty and social transformations that are knocking on the doors of large areas of the globe, including the Middle East region, just as it was not helped by suffocating Venezuela, whose people were about to breathe due to inflation that reached thousands of percent and the overthrow of the Cuban regime, including He points to the limits of their ability, for it is not destiny, and people, like individuals, can sometimes be crammed into conditions in which life and death are equal. I have personally known two experiences in prisons, when they become more rebellious and valiant.


In the coming years, the Chinese fortress will have reverberations and influences all over the world, even if it currently appears cautious and non-offensive in connection with the data of the moment and the balance of power without skipping over its role in the Iranian-Saudi reconciliation and its dynamics, but it will not stop expanding its role and presence (to build a better and more just society for humanity) Chi Ping And this is not fanfare without grinding, but it is based on various capabilities (we are capable) two words that Che Ping repeated while cruising in his vehicle on the military sectors on the anniversary of the victory of the revolution, and a national production amounted to 26 trillion dollars, which exceeded for the first time the American national production (22 trillion) Herald Tribune knowing that The Chinese nation before the victory of the revolution in 1949 was composed of 99% of the illiterate peasants, and its first university was founded in 1919...


Going back to history, after the unification of the Greek kingdoms, Greece swept Europe and the East, and after the Roman Empire aligned itself with Christianity, its authority and ideology became consolidated throughout Europe and the East for centuries, and by consecrating the Islamic call in the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab, the state, its language and beliefs expanded despite the setback that befell it with the assassination of Ali ibn Abi Talib and what he represented and killed. His family (Ahl al-Bayt - Khaled Muhammad Khaled).


And with the unification of France (72 principalities and provinces), the bourgeois revolution and the nation-state were inaugurated and spread to Europe (so the state was unified in Germany, consisting of 51 states, as well as Italy and large areas...) This is the case of the Russian revolution of 1917, which said a new theoretical statement that the victory of the socialist revolution can be achieved in a weak link (half bourgeoisie and half feudalism, half colony and half colony) Lenin, and this is a great lesson learned by many nations and peoples, and with the victory of the Iranian revolution led by Supreme Leader Khomeini, its influence extended to the region and more than that, to the point that it is not possible to examine the region of the Middle East if the analysis does not start from the regional power The rising trend and its serious intersections with the Chinese process, the Russian trench, and all the anti-hegemonic and dependent forces that are surrounded in the Arab world and the world of the South...

Representative Imad Al-Adwan

Hamada Pharaohs

Hamada Pharaohs

Opinion Writer

Regardless of the motives of Representative Imad Al-Adwan for smuggling weapons to Palestine, whether they were political or commercial, there remain basics that must be paid attention to, taken into account, and firmly adhered to, which are:


1- Representative Adwan is an elected Jordanian representative, a member of the House of Representatives, so he represents all of us, and we must stand with him, support him, and show solidarity in order to form headlines of pressure demanding his release.


2- His case and his clash with a national, national, religious and human enemy, he cannot be trusted, he does not have the credibility to rely on him, and to collect information from him as the only source on the issue of aggression.


3- As long as the Jordanian ambassador met him at the site of his arrest, this means that contacts with the other party are moving towards addressing the issue, as the Foreign Ministry spokesman said.


The representative made a mistake when he allowed the colony’s apparatus to search his car. I visited Palestine dozens of times when I was an MP, and I refused to search my car, on the basis of reciprocity, as Israeli Knesset members are not searched during their visits to Jordan, and on one of the visits they insisted on searching my cars, and I refused. I returned from the bridge, and the Jordanian embassy intervened, and I returned the next day without inspection. Of course, we must know that they have electronic detection devices capable of giving information about the presence of weapons in the car, without being subjected to manual searches, and therefore it was more useful for the respected representative to refuse the inspection and return. To the bridge, without being exposed to what he was exposed to.


The ruling party in the colony is hostile to Jordan, for several reasons:


First, we have succeeded in making the issue of Jerusalem and the Islamic and Christian sanctities a global issue that receives attention, especially after Jordan formed a political spearhead against the decision of the defeated US President Trump when he announced his recognition of unified Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli colony on 6/12/2017.


Secondly, when Jordan publicly rejected the plan of the defeated US President Trump, the "Plan of the Century", which he announced with the head of the colonial government, Netanyahu, in Washington on 1/28/2020.


Third, due to Jordan’s refusal to renew the annexes of the peace treaty and return the lands of Al-Baqoura in the north and the lands of Al-Ghamr in the south on 11/10/2019.


Fourth: Continuing work on the Arab and international arenas to support the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in their homeland, and support their struggle to restore their national rights, on the land of their homeland, and to establish their independent state.


Fifth, work on the continuity of the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, as a symbol and title for the survival of the refugee issue, because the refugees constitute half of the Palestinian people and their cause is still pending and alive in accordance with International Resolution 194, which indicates their right to return to the cities and villages from which they were expelled, and to regain their possessions from, in and on it.


For all of this, why does the colony and its tools not work to embarrass Jordan by harming representative sovereign symbols of consideration, as it did with the Jordanian ambassador in an attempt to harass him and prevent him from visiting the Temple Mount, in response to Jordanian policies that clash with the policies of the colony, especially under the politically extremist Israeli administration And religiously led??.


In all cases, whether the case of Representative Imad Al-Adwan is political or commercial, he must be released, released, and returned to his country, as previously happened with Israeli employees who committed legal transgressions in Jordan. They were released because they have diplomatic immunity, which is the obligatory characteristic that a representative enjoys. Imad Adwan.

Educational loss .. causes, manifestations and solutions

The fortune of Zaid Al-Kilani

The fortune of Zaid Al-Kilani

Opinion Writer

The educational loss is represented by the gap between what was planned (the intended curriculum); knowledge, skills and attitudes, and what the students actually acquired (the acquired curriculum), and that the actual time for education is less than the planned time; Reduction in the number of hours and days of formal education.


The causes of educational loss (cognitive, social, and emotional) are represented in the closure of schools completely and partially for varying periods, and the students’ lack of access to education in its natural way. Barriers spread throughout the country, or deliberate demolitions of schools, destruction of their infrastructure, and tampering with the appropriate educational learning environment in that, violating international norms and laws, especially the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which have made it clear that parents, As a matter of priority, the right to choose the type of education that is given to their children, the right of every individual to education, and the necessity of directing education and education to the full development of the human personality and the sense of its dignity, and to strengthening respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and that the occupying power criminalizes acts of aggression, infringement, or Other manifestations of violations that may affect educational institutions, and to prosecute those who committed such acts, planned them, or ordered their implementation, and hold them accountable.


There are reasons related to emergency conditions, as is the case with the Corona pandemic, which left great impacts on the educational scene in all its fields, in addition to the teachers’ protests and their refusal to perform their duties for various reasons, and there are cases related to environmental conditions in winter and summer, and other cases related to the various occasions that take place. It was not included in the annual school calendar, and the decision to reduce class time from 45 to 40 minutes since 2007 has increased the time of educational loss, and other reasons related to the economic and social fields, and reasons related to curricula, teaching principles, and the decline in the rate of cooperative learning in favor of the learning rate. Individuals, the increase in the size of the gap and disparity between countries with a high rate of human development, and developing countries, and inequality in the availability of the necessary learning resources at home at the technological level, and others, and the ability to self-study.


Among the most prominent manifestations of educational loss and its indicators in the field of knowledge is the increase in the school dropout rate for reasons related to cognitive performance, the low achievement of students in school tests, the decline in students’ performance in the main skills of the various investigations in all classes, the decline in students’ achievement in higher thinking skills, and the focus on superficial knowledge. Decreased motivation and continuity in learning, widening gaps in individual differences among students, stumbles in education, academic delays, and an increase in the proportion of those who cannot read and write.


As for the most prominent manifestations of social and emotional loss, it is represented in the increase in cases of psychological instability and self-confidence of students (anxiety, fear, tension, ...), the frequent absence of them from their schools in part or in whole, and the increase in school dropouts for reasons not related to cognitive performance, and the emergence of many cases School violence between students themselves, and between students and their teachers, low participation in various community and sports activities, weak desire to be in school, and reluctance to perform tasks that require cooperation between peers.


The plan to recover from the educational loss (compensating students) is of great importance, especially after years of irregularity in the educational process during the (Corona) pandemic crisis, in which students did not attend their schools for about two years normally, in addition to the irregularity of education resulting from teachers’ refusal to perform their duties for periods of time. Therefore, the plan for catch-up education or recovery from educational loss must take into account the diversity of recovery programs suitable for each category of students, using measurement tools that allow determining the amount and quality of educational loss, and moving away from unified recovery programs for all students, regardless of Considering the amount and type of losses they suffer from, compensating for alternative learning styles that are compatible with the new situation, and replacing them, and the effective employment of all technological means, such as e-learning and distance learning as a strategic option to overcome the difficulties of that stage, and activate the role of educational counselors; To reduce the negative psychological effects of students and all parties to the educational community, to communicate in appropriate ways with students who suffer from the negative effects of educational loss and its repercussions, especially those with disabilities and students in remote areas, to build bridges of cooperation with all local community institutions, to formulate real and effective partnership opportunities, and to provide opportunities Appropriate for the development of administrative creativity in the educational field, and the delegation of powers.


Recommendations:
1- Adopting strategies to recover from educational loss, represented in the strategy of prolonging learning time, where additional time is allocated for high-quality learning time, targeting all students according to their levels, attendance is mandatory, and negative aspects such as exhaustion and stress are avoided; So that the school secures additional time for learning about one or two periods of daily additional supportive lessons according to the reality of each school (flexibly), or / and take advantage of Saturdays, or / extend the school year, or / and return students to schools after completing the general secondary exam, and re- The time of the class is reduced to 45 minutes as it was before 2007 AD, and other than that, which allows additional time for learning, and the interaction of students in a warm and attractive learning environment.


2- Accelerating students’ learning significantly in both mathematics and reading in the first basic stage, especially those who fail, and in mathematics, Arabic, and science in other grades, and focus on basic concepts and skills in which performance has declined according to the results of diagnostic tests and school tests. Using the services of applicants for teaching jobs (role lists); To provide support to the original teacher (supportive teacher), after subjecting them to quick training in exchange for relatively low wages, and calculating their work period, as substitutes when hiring.


3- Adopting differentiation methodologies among students by matching education according to students’ proficiency levels in basic skills, regardless of grade, and grouping them in an allotted time; With the aim of accelerating education, taking into account that not all students receive the same educational topics at the same time, and allocating educational content according to the varying needs of students, and the lack of each of them in basic competencies and skills, and employing individual educational strategies (individualizing education), and compensating for the lack of acquisitions necessary for the class and beyond. , and it depends mainly on the teacher.


4- Determining the basic skills and concepts that are tantamount to previous learning for the following years, and focusing on the outcomes. It is possible to use the educational packages that were prepared in the Corona pandemic, and to design evaluation mechanisms that go beyond the traditional evaluation based on answering multiple choice questions, or answering with (true / false). ), or drafting some paragraphs, and turning to the original evaluation, achievement files, performance tasks, peer evaluation, or self-evaluation, which can reflect the skills and competencies that are really acquired, in the process of being acquired, or not acquired by the learners.


5- Diversity in learning strategies, such as the flipped classroom strategy; By effectively integrating technology into the educational-learning process, where the flipped classroom relies on transferring the learning process outside the classroom, allocating class time for more learning activities, and employing digital technology strategy; Depending on electronic applications and technological programs that contribute to the individualization of education.


6- Adopting strategies for recovering from social and emotional loss, such as the strategy of supportive and sustainable relationships with a surrounding adult, and home visits; To enhance communication between the school administration and health and educational counseling officials on the one hand, and the families of students affected by the pandemic on the other hand, and the cooperative learning strategy (we learn together) that relies on preparing educational situations that allow learners opportunities for cooperation and interaction in educational groups using the (Jigsaw) method, and preparing them, or Group Investigation, and the project-based learning strategy, which contributes to the development of the spirit of teamwork and cooperation, and promotes the spirit of free competition through individual projects, and also contributes to the development of self-confidence, love of work, responsibility, acquisition of life skills, dialogue and discussion strategy , and others.


7- Availability of an educational cadre with the necessary competencies with high efficiency, capable of bringing about the desired development, raising the capabilities of in-service workers according to their needs, and moving towards creative and innovative education.


8- Availability of sufficient physical and financial resources to bring about the required development, and the appropriate infrastructure capable of responding to appropriate education strategies.


9- Employing the database (educational platforms) in various fields (curriculum, education strategies, student files, ...), in a way that contributes to employing the appropriate educational style for students, and providing technological requirements according to needs.

Manchester City once again outperformed its guest, Arsenal, and achieved its third victory over it this season, by sweeping it 4-1 on Wednesday in the 33rd stage, to seriously threaten the “Gunners” dream of a first title in the English Football League since 2004.


And after he returned victorious from the “Emirates Stadium” 1-0 in the fourth round of the cup, City beat Arsenal 3-1 at the latter’s stadium also on February 15 in the postponed match from stage 21, before hitting him again on Wednesday with four, including a double for the Belgian. Kevin De Bruyne and a record goal for the Norwegian Erling Haaland.


The two teams entered the match with the difference between them five points, after it was 11, as a result of Arsenal’s sufficiency in a draw in the past three stages, while City was coming from six consecutive victories in the league and with the spirit of qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals and the FA Cup final as well.


The two teams came out of the match, with Arsenal in the lead, just two points ahead of the team of Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, who also played two matches less than the team of his compatriot and former assistant Mikel Arteta, which makes the “Citizens” strong candidates to retain the title and end the London team’s dream of winning the first since 2004.


But De Bruyne saw that the season "is still long. We know what people said about the winner of this match (his chances of winning the title), but it is very difficult. Many things may happen. We have two matches postponed, but we are still behind them."


As usual, the preference was given to City in this confrontation, similar to the last seven confrontations between the two teams in all competitions, with Arsenal continuing to face its rivals at the league level, as it has not emerged victorious since the end of 2015 (2-1).


City scored less than 7 minutes after the start, thanks to De Bruyne, who received the ball from Haaland, and the Belgian hit it from outside the area into the left corner of Aaron Ramsdale's goal (7).


City continued his advantage and was close to the second goal on more than one occasion, whether it was through De Bruyne or Haaland, who tested Ramsdale from a difficult angle, but the latter shone (32), then responded to a distant attempt by Ghanaian Thomas Partey (35) with a similar one that passed next to the right post ( 36).


The Norwegian was close again to the net in the 41st minute, after a pass from the Portuguese Bernardo Silva, but Ramsdale shone again.
Arsenal thought it had escaped the second goal at the end of the first half after the referee raised the offside flag to cancel John Stones’ header following a free kick carried out by De Bruyne, but the video assistant referee “VAR” confirmed the validity of the goal, so City entered the half-time break ahead with two clean goals (1 + 45). ).


Arsenal's performance improved at the start of the second half, but the most dangerous opportunity was for Halland, who collided again with Ramsdale's brilliance, before turning seconds later into a playmaker by passing the ball to Bruyne's second personal goal and the third to City (54).


In light of the three-goal difference, the pace calmed down in City’s desire to save efforts, which opened the way for Arsenal to reduce the difference late through Rob Holding, after he received the ball from Belgian Lenado Trossard after a corner kick (86).


Haaland refused to end the meeting without leaving his mark with a goal he scored in the last seconds, according to which he alone set the record for the number of goals in a season of 38 games (33, with a goal difference in front of Liverpool’s Egyptian top scorer, Mohamed Salah, a goal away from the absolute record for a season of 42 matches).


Chelsea suffered a fifth defeat out of five matches he has played so far, led by his new-old coach Frank Lampard, and it came at home to Brentford, 0-2.


Lampard began his mission as a temporary coach for the team that starred in its ranks as a player between 2001 and 2014 and supervised it from the summer of 2019 until early 2021 in 2018, by losing its first four matches, two of which were in the league and the same in the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid.


Then the successor of dismissed coach Graham Potter suffered a fifth consecutive defeat on Wednesday, after Chelsea finished the first half, lagging behind with friendly fire through Spaniard Cesar Aspilicueta, who accidentally turned the ball into his own net after a corner kick (37).


Then Brentford won its second successive victory at Stamford Bridge, where it won last season 4-1, by adding the second goal in the 78th minute through Cameroonian substitute Brian Mbomou after a counterattack.


Chelsea's balance froze at 39 points in eleventh place, while Brentford temporarily advanced to ninth place with 47 points.
Liverpool continued its quest to obtain a qualifying position for the Champions League by achieving its third successive victory, and it came at the expense of its host, West Ham, 2-1.


West Ham was the first to score through Brazilian Lucas Paqueta with a wonderful long shot (12), but Liverpool responded quickly through Dutchman Cody Khakpo, who equalized with a long shot as well (18).


Cameroonian Joel Matip gave Liverpool a header after a corner kick (67).


German coach Jürgen Klopp's team raised its tally to 53 points, in sixth place, on goal difference, against Tottenham Hotspur, who hosts Manchester United on Thursday.


And it was a coincidence that Liverpool would face Tottenham on the ground of the first in the next stage in a fateful match for the Champions League struggle, in light of their distance from the fourth United by 6 points.


Nottingham Forest achieved a very important victory for the struggle for survival, thanks to which it rose from the penultimate position to the seventeenth by 30 points, and came at the expense of its guest, Brighton, 3-1.

Lebanon takes a series of administrative and security measures regarding Syrian refugees

Today (Wednesday), the Lebanese authorities announced a series of administrative and security measures regarding Syrian refugees, the most prominent of which is strictness in pursuing violators and preventing illegal entry into Lebanon.


This came during a meeting of the ministerial committee tasked with following up the safe return of Syrian refugees to their country today, chaired by Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, and in the presence of army leaders, internal security forces and public security.

The committee called on the army and security services to tighten measures and procedures to prevent the entry of Syrians through illegal means who do not possess official and legal documents.


The Supreme Defense Council in Lebanon had taken a decision on April 15, 2019 to deport Syrians who entered Lebanon illegally.


The Committee requested that the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Directorate of Public Security continue to follow up on the voluntary return of Syrian refugees, taking into account the requirements of agreements and laws regarding the preservation of human rights.


The committee also asked the Ministries of Interior and Social Affairs to carry out the legal requirements in terms of registering the births of Syrians on Lebanese territory, in coordination with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.


The committee decided to ask foreign countries to share the burdens of the Syrian displacement, especially with the increasing number of refugees in light of the worsening economic crisis in Lebanon.

On the other hand, Lebanese Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi stressed, in a statement today, that "the Lebanese law must be respected and order maintained, and that the Syrians in Lebanon are subject to the Lebanese law and order, and they must be registered in the relevant official departments and their status regulated because chaos is harmful to Lebanon, their interests and the security situation." .


He added, "We will not allow incitement against the Lebanese army and the state, and the displaced Syrian must abide by the law," stressing "the protection of human rights and the appreciation of the rights of neighbors."


The Lebanese General Security had previously implemented a plan for the safe and voluntary return of refugees, in coordination with the Syrian authorities, which included, between 2017 and 2019, about 540,000 refugees, but work on this plan stopped with the outbreak of the Corona pandemic.


And the head of the Lebanese caretaker government, Najib Mikati, had called in June 2022 on the international community to “cooperate with Lebanon to return the displaced Syrians to their country, otherwise Lebanon will have a position that is not desirable for Western countries, which is to work to remove the Syrians from Lebanon by legal means through the application of laws.” Firmly Lebanese.


The number of Syrian refugees registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Lebanon is 825 thousand distributed in about 3100 random camps, while the Lebanese General Security estimates the number of Syrians residing in the country at two million and 80 thousand refugees.

Poll: 44% of Democratic Party members consider Israel an "apartheid state"

A new University of Maryland "Critical Issues" poll shows that support for Israel continues to decline among Democratic voters.


According to the poll, which was organized between March 27 and April 5, 1,203 American voters across the United States were asked about their opinions about the country. According to the newspaper, the first question is, "You may have been following recent developments in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza." “Which of the following do you think comes closest to describing the way you see Israel”, the answers narrowed down to four available answer options: Is Israel a “vibrant democracy”; or a "democracy imperfect", or a "state with restricted rights for minorities", or a "state with an apartheid-like segregation".


Fifty-six percent of respondents answered that they did not know, but among those who did have an opinion, only 22% said Israel was a "vibrant democracy," 31% said it was an "imperfect democracy," and 16% said it was "a country with restricted rights for minorities." , and 31% said “It is an apartheid-like country.”


When a political party splits, the poll reveals a stark partisan divide on the issue. Forty-one percent of Republicans said Israel was a "vibrant democracy," while only 20% said it was "an apartheid-style country." 44% of Democrats said it was "an apartheid country", while 34% said it was an imperfect democracy.


The timing of the poll came at the height of Israel's unprecedented and ongoing protests against judicial reform proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and which - according to all experts - threatened to significantly weaken the judiciary, grabbing headlines in the US. These protests also coincided with the escalation of violence by the Israeli occupation authorities in the occupied Palestinian territories.


And although the protests largely ignored Israeli military rule over millions of Palestinians in the Palestinian territories (and the blockade applied) to the Gaza Strip, "they drew attention to threats to democracy even within the borders of pre-1967 Israel," according to a University of Maryland survey in collaboration with The “Ipsos Institute” in Washington, which was supervised by Professor Shibley Telhami (of Palestinian origin) and his colleague Stella Rose, which was published on the website of the “Brookings Institute” in Washington on Tuesday, April 25, 2023.


"It is difficult to know if these protests have any impact on the way Americans view Israel, and if they do, in what direction?" Whereas these protests have drawn attention to the authoritarian ambitions of the right-wing (Israeli) government It may also have highlighted the existence of a free environment, at least for hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens, to freely protest and reject the government's plans.


Telhami and his colleagues ask, "Do Americans view Israel as a vibrant democracy, or as much less than that?" And he answers by saying: “To find out the answer, we sent some questions in the Critical Problems Survey of the University of Maryland with the Ipsos organization, as the survey was conducted (on this content) from March 27 to April 5, 2023, surveying 1203 participants by the Probabilistic Knowledge Panel from Who by Ipsos (margin of error 3.2%).


The researcher points out that “Among Democrats, the story was strikingly different: the largest number of those who expressed an opinion, 44%, said it was a “segregated country like apartheid South Africa,” followed by 34% who said it was a “democracy imperfect” that Remarkable because the use of the term "apartheid" in mainstream discourse in America, though increasingly heard of, remains largely uncommon and even taboo in many circles.



Clearly, public attitudes toward Israel are changing. The term "apartheid" seems to have become a popular term among many Americans, especially Democrats, and even the BDS movement, which has faced significant obstacles in the American mainstream, seems to have a lot of support among Democrats who have spoken out.

What can we do as Palestinians to end the hateful division, which has turned all the elements of our lives into a collection of endless nightmares? The answer is short; Nothing, after about (17) years after its occurrence, we are closer to devoting it to separation, and we are farther from regaining our unity that we lost in (a moment of indiscretion), and what we thought on the day of its occurrence was just a summer cloud that passed in the sky of the homeland, has become more like the fate written on the foreheads And the eyes must see it.

We are "not an exception," as the poet of humanity, Mahmoud Darwish, described us on the day our sword fell on our sword, and today we add that we are "an exception to the exception itself." Divisions occurred in various countries, and the blood of citizens was shed by the hands of citizens, but this situation did not last long, and he soon realized Reasonable people believe that this should not be the end, and they chose to sit at one table, and decided at a defining moment to turn this page in the history of their country, so partnership took place, and then the joint struggle, freedom, then prosperity and prosperity, except in my country, as politicians entered us into this tunnel Then they closed the door on us, and behind it they placed rocks that would prevent them from being moved by the aspirations and wills of the overwhelmed peoples.

All attempts by the “popular will” to end the division of shame failed. The charge is ready (agenda), the club is ready (restoring order), the statement is ready (a rogue faction), and the charge is ready (violating legitimacy). Over these years, thousands of scenes were shown on screens to break up sit-ins. Feminism, youth, students, workers, etc., all of them called for turning the page on the division, and all of them returned to the homes bloody or were taken to detention centers, and when you see the amount of hatred carried by those who own the gun and the club, and his extreme anger while striking the protesters for the continuation of this disastrous situation, we know at that time the meaning The real phrase (blood over blood is bridges).

The greatest duty of Palestinian patriotism was once represented in keeping the Palestinian on the land of his homeland, immersing him in it, and steadfastness and steadfastness in its riches. Competencies are a method, displacing young people is a strategy, and supplying European countries with doctors, engineers, programmers, intellectuals, academics, and technology specialists is a daily work program. Wadi, and the masses of citizens who hasten to comment with the word (Mubarak) on the social media platforms of a young man who finally obtained residency in Belgium in another valley!!!

We do not know of all the flags of the world except the national flag of countries and peoples, except in occupied Palestine, as the world was perplexed as it watched the strange mixture of the colors of the partisan flags, which exceeded the colors of the spectrum in their multiplicity, and ended with the generations forgetting the flag of their homeland, and contenting themselves with the flag of the partisans, who are in the path of Raising their flag, they are ready to trample on the flag of the nation and on the heads of the citizens, as the colored cloth has become more important than the rule of law, the constitution, the slogans of the nation, and all its institutions, while the world watches in silence and alertness the experience of this people, whom political books in the last century described as a legend. And the miracle, which today, through the actions of the parties, their guns, and the clubs of their soldiers, has become a laughing stock, with which the privileged carried out their plans, and slept full of eyelids, after they turned the division of humiliation and humiliation in Palestine into a way of life..
