The first virtual reality class in Gaza facilitates interactive learning for students

Studying science and mathematics curricula has become easier for the student Shahd Jundiyeh (11 years old) from Gaza City, since she started attending lessons in a classroom in her school that follows learning with virtual reality .


"Learning through virtual reality brought me to an advanced level after I used to spend many hours studying the teaching materials," said a female soldier, while wearing a mask on her face and holding two machines in both hands.


Shahd Jundiyeh added that a great progress has been made in her educational status since she enrolled in the lessons via virtual reality, noting that learning through virtual reality allows her to have a better understanding, especially since she can access a world that simulates those lessons as if it were "a real and tangible reality."



Lynn Al-Louh shared a similar point of view with her friend Shahd Jundia, who expressed her happiness at starting teaching with the virtual reality world technology inside her school in a new and unique step.


Lin Al-Louh, who has just left her virtual lesson, told Xinhua that by learning through virtual reality, she is able to touch animal cells to learn more about their chemical compositions and special functions.


She added, "Mathematics and its engineering derivatives were among the most difficult subjects I studied during the school year, but now they have become interesting to me after learning them in a new way."


Jundia and Lynn Al-Louh were among the 500 students of the "Al Basma Al Haditha Private School" in the coastal sector, which suffers from difficult economic and humanitarian conditions, who studied through the newly introduced virtual reality classroom.


In the classroom, 3D designs are used to depict concepts in a subject, and in Math class, students can touch the circle, square, triangle and any other geometric shape to better understand the differences between them.


Ahmed Al-Natour, director of public relations at the school, told Xinhua that the virtual classrooms are the first of their kind in the Palestinian territories, noting that the main goal is to build a simulation model that enables students to engage in future sciences, and allows them to study and understand the curricula in a more practical way. .


According to Al Natour, compared to regular classrooms, virtual reality classes allow students to learn more effectively.


It allows virtual reality lessons by visualizing abstract concepts in their curriculum, and helps students understand them faster and easier, in addition to enhancing their creative thinking.


"We want the culture of virtual classrooms to expand in Palestinian schools, which contributes greatly to bringing Palestinian students into the world of artificial intelligence and future sciences," Al-Natour added.


The first step of its kind was praised by the parents of the students, stressing that it would benefit their children.


Safa Shrateh, the mother of one of the students at the school, told Xinhua that her son has become more interested in his homework and revises it at home without the help of the family, noting that he has the ability to explain chemical molecules without spending hours to help him.


Safa Shreiteh, 36, a mother of four, hopes that there will be more virtual classes in the sector so that all students can go through such an amazing experience to become future makers one day.


Since 2007, Israel has imposed a tight siege on the coastal strip, which is inhabited by more than two million people, after it was seized by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) by force. Since then, the economic situation in the strip has deteriorated, as its residents live in difficult living conditions.

During his meeting with students from Harvard.. Shtayyeh: Israel is creating facts to destroy the two-state solution

Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh said, during his meeting with about 300 students from Harvard University, today, Tuesday, in Ramallah , that "the continuation of the current deteriorating situation will lead to the end of the two-state solution and a slide towards one state with an apartheid system in reality, legislation, and laws."


He added, "Hearing and reading about Palestine does not replace visiting it and seeing the facts and conditions on the ground."


Shtayyeh continued: "From the facts here you will find that the Gaza Strip is besieged, and Israel has built an apartheid wall and isolates Jerusalem, and the expansion of settlement construction, and daily violations and assaults on our people. Israel is working to create facts that are difficult to undo, all in order to destroy the two-state solution and embody establishment of the Palestinian state.


And he added, "International law is indivisible, and double standards must be stopped when it comes to Palestine, and Israel must not remain a state above the law."


Shtayyeh stressed that the occupation government imposes control over all aspects of life in Palestine, "it controls the crossings, borders, water and electricity, and it prevents us from exercising our right to elections, in addition to that the occupation earns more than 50 billion dollars annually from our occupied lands."

Riyadh Airlines and Saudi Airlines place a major order for the Boeing 787

Aircraft manufacturer Boeing announced that Riyadh Airlines and Saudi Arabian Airlines have placed an order for 39 long-haul 787 Dreamliners each, and have raised the possibility of purchasing an additional 43 aircraft for both, or 121 in total.


With the additional 43 potential aircraft included, this would be the fifth largest order by value received by Boeing, which did not want to specify the value of the deal nor how the planes would be divided between the 787-9 and 787-10 models.


According to the White House, the total value of the order amounts to $37 billion.


"This agreement is part of the broader Saudi strategic plan aimed at turning the country into a global aviation hub," Boeing said in a statement.


The company indicated that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is looking forward to transporting, through its two airlines, 330 million passengers annually and receiving 100 million tourists by 2030.


Saudi Arabia is pursuing ambitious aviation goals as part of the broad "Vision 2030" reform of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.


On Sunday, Saudi Arabia announced the launch of a new air carrier under the name "Riyadh Airlines", owned by the Public Investment Fund, the sovereign wealth fund.


Its CEO, Tony Douglas, said in an interview on CNBC that the Kingdom's "ambition is enormous," with the company's intention, in particular, to launch flights to more than 100 destinations around the world by 2030.


"There will be other orders," he added.


Saudi Airlines, which currently operates 93 Airbus and 51 Boeing aircraft, according to its website, hopes to expand its network by increasing the size of its fleet.


Compared to its competitors Emirates, Etihad or Qatar Airways, Saudi airlines have the ability to draw on a domestic market of about 35 million people.


For his part, Boeing President Dave Kallon told CNBC that the company, which is currently struggling to increase production due to suppliers still affected by the repercussions of the pandemic, will be able to meet the order.


"The situation is improving," he said, and "we are convinced (...) that we will be able to reach the production rates" that the group set for itself at the end of 2022, which is to build 10 Boeing 787 aircraft per month by 2025 or 2026. He confirmed that the orders received of Saudi companies incorporated into this goal.


But the manufacturer did not specify when the aircraft would be delivered.


It also did not mention how the orders were divided between "787-9" and "787-10". These two models are sold respectively for $292 million and $338 million each, according to the latest catalog prices sent by Boeing in 2019.


On the other hand, Boeing indicated that all aircraft will be equipped with General Electric engines.


US Secretary of State Anthony Blikin praised the agreement, noting that it followed "discussions that lasted for years, especially with US officials."


The announcement is evidence of the improvement in relations between Washington and Riyadh, after Biden warned last year of "consequences" when expressing his disappointment with Saudi Arabia's decision to cut oil production.


"We have repeatedly said that it is a strategic partnership, which it has been for eight decades, and like any partnership or friendship that undergoes ups and downs," said John Kirby, a spokesman for the US National Security Council.


"We look forward to this strategic partnership truly serving, in every possible way, our national security interests there in the region and around the world," he added.


For its part, the Saudi Embassy to the United States stressed that the order "reaffirms the close commercial relations between the Kingdom and the United States."

The "teachers' movement" gives the government 24 hours to cancel all penalties

The teachers' movement gave the Palestinian government 24 hours to cancel all penalties issued against male and female teachers, stressing that this is the last opportunity to revive the institutions' initiative and implement its provisions.


He said in a statement issued by him, on Tuesday evening, "The apparent confusion in the names that appeared to the public has lost its prestige. Among the names are retirees, non-strikers, and employees in the directorates, which made the case a naive matter."


The movement called on male and female teachers not to deal with or sign any official books that come from the directorates and the ministry, stressing that any teacher receives any official notification or judicial decision issued against him.


He also called on the media and all society to assume their responsibilities in supporting their just cause, as the matter has become a matter of homeland and steadfastness.


He emphasized the continuation of the strike tomorrow with the go-to, fingerprint proof, and then leave, in response to the government's outright transgression against the law and the constitution.

Israel threatens the factions and other parties by exploiting the internal political situation

The Hebrew Channel 12 reported, on Tuesday evening, that Israel had conveyed messages to Palestinian parties and others active in the Middle East, through mediators and various parties, warning them against exploiting the internal political crisis to carry out attacks.


According to the channel, Israel threatened that the response would be harsh.

The channel quoted Palestinian sources - as it claimed - that the Israeli army arrested two Palestinians who had received a sum of money from an official in the "Fatah" movement to restructure and revitalize armed cells belonging to the movement that were operating in Nablus previously.


Regarding the bombing in Megiddo yesterday, the channel said that the incident almost ended in a more catastrophic way, noting that the investigations indicated that the used explosive had a composition different from that used by the Palestinians.


The Hebrew Channel 13 reported that fragments of the explosive hit a vehicle other than the one in which the explosive exploded.

Ghoneim: The Israeli occupation targeted the water-rich areas from the beginning

The head of the Water Authority, Mazen Ghuneim , confirmed that the Israeli occupation, from the beginning, targeted water-rich areas, controlling about 95% of the water in the western aquifer and more than 70% of the eastern aquifer, and others.


This came during a lecture by Ghoneim, which targeted officers in the Military Training Authority for Security Forces in the city of Jericho, today, Tuesday, at the invitation of the head of the Military Training Authority, Major General Mahmoud Haroun, under the title "Towards a sustainable water sector for the present and future of our country."


Ghoneim referred to the water losses as a result of the occupation’s control and annexation of some of the main springs, such as: Al-Qilt, Al-Farah, Al-Auja, Fasayel, Al-Sakot, Ayoun Al-Maleh, Al-Hilweh Al-Fawqa and Al-Tahta, which constitutes a loss estimated at 10 to 15 million cubic meters annually, in addition to the constant threat to the springs located in The city of Jericho, which is considered the main source of drinking and agriculture, and the accompanying loss of the only outlet for water tourism, as well as its control over the Al-Fashkha springs, whose discharge rate ranges between 60-80 million m3/year.


Ghoneim said that the continuation of the Israeli occupation and its control over Palestinian water resources, and in light of environmental changes, requires continuous and accelerated work to develop the available and new water resources to meet water needs.


He touched on the challenges facing the water sector, which reflect negatively on achieving water security, foremost of which is the political challenge represented by the occupation's control of water resources, settlement expansion, as well as Israel's obstruction of projects in Area C, which constitutes more than 64% of the Palestinian territories.


He pointed to another group of challenges, such as the economic and institutional challenge, and the natural challenge represented by the high demand for water with the increase in population inflation, the effects of climate change and others, in addition to social and environmental challenges.

Ukrainian official: Kiev does not have the resources for a counterattack

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that Ukraine is short of skilled forces and ammunition and casualties are mounting.


A senior Ukrainian government official told The Washington Post that Kiev does not have the resources to launch a major counterattack in the coming months because Ukraine lacks skilled forces, ammunition and other equipment.


"If you have more resources, you attack actively," according to the official, who spoke to The Washington Post on condition of anonymity. "If you have less resources, you defend more. We will defend. That's why if you ask me personally, I don't believe in our big counterattack. I'd like to believe in that, but I look at the resources and ask, 'With what?' Maybe we'll get some local hacks." .”


The official said Ukraine did not have "the people or the weapons" to launch a counterattack. “And you know the formula: When you're on the offensive, you lose two or three times as many people. We can't afford to lose that many people,” the official said.


The newspaper also spoke to a Ukrainian battalion commander who went by the name Kopol, who described a "bleak situation" on all fronts. Kobul said his battalion had previously withdrawn from the town of Solidar, near the eastern city of Bakhmut, and came under Russian control in January.


His battalion of 500, Cobol said, lost 100 killed and about 400 wounded, resulting in a full turnover. Soldiers with no combat experience and very little training are now being sent in. "I get 100 new soldiers," said Cobol, "but they don't give me any time to prepare them. They say, 'Take them into battle.' They just drop everything and run. That's it.; Do you understand why? Because the soldier doesn't shoot. I ask him why, and he says, "I'm afraid of the sound of a shot."


The "Washington Post" report stated that Ukraine has sent an influx of recruits to replace more experienced soldiers who have been killed or wounded. As more Ukrainian men who did not volunteer feared being called up to fight, he said, Ukrainian security services closed Telegram accounts that were helping Ukrainians avoid sites where the authorities were distributing conscription coupons.


According to the newspaper, Kobul said that the Ukrainian forces are also fighting with very little ammunition. He said, "You are on the front lines." "They are closing in on you, and there is nothing to shoot with."


The Washington Post says: "The Kiev Independent recently spoke with Ukrainian soldiers who said they were fighting without much ammunition, training and support."


Ukraine suffered heavy losses in its battle to defend Bakhmut, but it is secretive about the numbers of casualties. The newspaper quotes a German official as saying that Ukraine suffered 120,000 soldiers (between dead and wounded), but the number may be much higher.


Despite the harsh conditions of the Ukrainian forces, Kiev still sent untrained soldiers into what became known as the "meat grinder" of Bakhmut.


The newspaper quoted Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Russia's Wagner Group, as saying on Sunday that Ukraine was "supplying endless reserves" and that fighting was getting fiercer as Russian forces tried to advance into the western part of the city.

Taiwan displays its first explosive drone

Taiwan revealed on Tuesday its first explosive drone, similar to an American model used in Ukraine in the war against Russia, amid Chinese military pressure on the island.


The army's "National Chung-shan Institute of Science and Technology" introduced the new march, a mobile munition similar to the American "Switchblade 300" aircraft currently used by Ukrainian soldiers in the conflict between their country and Russia.


The institute indicated that this aircraft, manufactured in Taiwan and small enough to be carried in a backpack, can fly in the air for 15 minutes. Like all marches of this type, it can only be used once and self-destructs on the first hit.


Chi Li-bin, head of the military's aviation systems research department, explained that the drone is "lightweight and portable (and (like) a large flying hand grenade)."


He pointed out that Taiwan is also working on developing a new generation of "suicide marches", including larger marches to launch attacks at longer distances.


Relations between China and Taiwan have been strained, especially since Beijing considers the island an integral part of its territory and asserts that it will one day regain it by force if necessary.


Last year, Sino-American relations reached their lowest point in August after then-Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi visited the island.


In response to Pelosi's visit, Beijing launched massive military exercises around Taiwan.
In October, the Communist Party included in its constitution a reference to its "strong opposition" to Taiwan independence.

An Argentine school allows its students to wear swimwear to face the heat wave

(AFP) - In light of the heat wave that has been sweeping several regions in Argentina for about two weeks, a school in Rosario (north) made an exceptional decision to allow students to wear swimming clothes, so that they can moisturize their bodies during breaks, according to local media. Monday.
On Monday, the temperature reached 38 degrees Celsius in Buenos Aires and other provinces in the northern center of the country, with record temperatures recorded during the current summer in the southern hemisphere, which was classified as the hottest since the start of recording temperature data in Buenos Aires in 1906, and since the year 1961 nationwide.
Several schools closed their doors last week due to problems with air conditioning, or waiting for temperatures to drop as expected in the second half of the week.
Classes were suspended on Wednesday and Thursday in the secondary classes at Francisco Gorochaga School located in Rosario (310 km from Buenos Aires), due to problems preventing the possibility of using air conditioners. However, the administration sought to avoid making a similar decision for primary classes.
The administration said in a letter it sent to the students' parents last week and was reported by the local daily newspaper, "La Capitale," that "we have made a decision that whoever wants from the students can go to school in swimming clothes and sandals, while bringing his own towel and other clothes in case he wants to take off his swimming costume," adding that “The rest periods will be in screened places, with the possibility of using the water hoses for the children to hydrate themselves.”
"This decision should be evaluated from an educational point of view," Principal Marian Sanchez told La Capitale, adding, "We have never seen a similar heat wave in the region, and the school must find a solution in this regard."

فها هو شيخ الاسرى حراً بين أبناء شعبه وبين قيادته، يؤكد من جديد ان ما أمضاه في سجون الاحتلال، هو ضريبة على كل فلسطيني يؤمن بقضية شعبه، وانه غير نادم على الـ ١٧عاماً التي أمضاها من عمره المديد خلف القضبان وعنجهية الاحتلال والسجان الذي يعتقد هو ودولته بأن الأسر يضعف من عزيمة الأسرى الذين ضحوا بحريتهم من أجل حرية شعبهم.
لقد كان استقبال الشعب والقيادة والفصائل للمناضل الشوبكي استقبالاً يليق بمناضل أشرف على سفينة محملة بالأسلحة والعتاد من أجل نصرة شعبه والتصدي لجرائم الاحتلال خلال انتفاضة الاقصى والذي استباح فيها الاحتلال الدم الفلسطيني الذي ما يزال يستبيحه وينزف لحين احقاق كامل حقوق شعبنا الوطنية الثابتة وغير المنقوصة.
وفي الوقت الذي نشارك أبناء شعبنا والقيادة والفصائل عرسها الوطني في استقبال الشوبكي، فإننا في الوقت نفسه نؤكد على ضرورة مساندة الخطوات النضالية التي تخوضها الحركة الأسيرة من أجل الحفاظ على مكتسباتها التي حققتها عبر تضحيات جسام والتي تحاول ادارة سجون الاحتلال سحبها منها رغم انها لا تساوي الحد الادنى من الحقوق المنصوص عليها في القوانين والاعراف الدولية، الى جانب التضييقات الاخرى التي أوعز بها المتطرف بن غفير وزير الامن القومي ضد الحركة الاسيرة التي تستعد لإضراب شامل عن الطعام وتدعو شعبنا وقياداته لمناصرتها في معركتها النضالية ضد الظلم والتعسف الاحتلالي.
ورغم مضي ٢٨ يوماً على عصيان الحركة الاسيرة إلا ان فعاليات التضامن الشعبي والرسمي معهم ما زالت ضئيلة وتراوح مكانها، الامر الذي يتطلب من الجميع التحرك السريع والواسع لتوسيع دائرة التضامن معهم وعدم تركهم في المعركة لوحدهم، خاصة وان ادارة السجون تقوم بعمليات قمع غير مسبوقة بحقهم في محاولة لإفشال خطواتهم النضالية.
فاللواء الشوبكي وكافة ابناء الحركة الأسيرة من واجبهم علينا ان نحتفل بتحرر أي واحد منهم وفي الوقت نفسه الوقوف الى جانبهم في خطواتهم النضالية، فهم طليعة متقدمة في النضال الوطني ولا يمكن لأحد تركهم فريسة لإجراءات وجرائم بن غفير وادارة السجون وقوات القمع في السجون.
ولا يسعنا هنا سوى ان نبارك للواء الشوبكي تحرره ونتمنى له موفور الصحة والعافية والحياة المستقرة بين أسرته وأبناء شعبه وقيادته الوطنية، فهو قدوة ومثال للمناضل الحقيقي، فرغم رتبته العسكرية إلا انه قدم ١٧ عاماً من عمره في سجون الاحتلال القمعية.

The same month, security, political and military crews of lower grades stayed in the region to follow up the results of the dialogues and tours and give orders and instructions to the affiliated tools, and seek to ensure the security of the entity state, the focus of the American strategy in the region, and perhaps the most dangerous of those tours, is the infiltration and violation of Syrian sovereignty on the fourth of this The month by the Chief of Staff of the US Army, Mark Milley, to eastern northern Syria, to inspect the US occupation bases, and it is clear that the goals of that visit are to prevent rapprochement between Syria and Turkey, which has come a long way, as well as to prevent Erdogan’s victory in the Turkish presidential elections next July from the gateway to the Syrian rapprochement. - Al-Turki, as well as the continuation of the American plundering process with its allies of Syrian gas and oil, and the formation of tribal fronts similar to the Iraqi Awakenings, with the aim of working across the Syrian borders Al-Iraqiya, for blocking the land routes between Iran and the popular crowd in Iraq and between Syria and the southern suburbs in Lebanon, and the continued draining of Syria and Turkey militarily and economically, as well as preventing Arab rapprochement with Syria and the normalization of relations with the Syrian leadership, especially what we witnessed of visits by Arab leaders to Syria after the earthquake Which struck Syria and Turkey, and to achieve this goal, America instructed its ally, the State of the entity, to bomb the Aleppo airport through which humanitarian aid arrives. It was temporarily taken out of service, and this was followed by Mark Milly’s visit to the entity, Egypt and Jordan, as well as the US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who accepted his visit to the country On the afternoon of 9/3/2023, the entity visited the American bases in Iraq, and it seems that this is related to preparing the American public opinion and the international community for the possibility of a military strike against Iran targeting its nuclear facilities.

We realize that this continuous American argument has to do with the Iranian nuclear file and the restless anger of the West Bank and Jerusalem, as well as pulling friends and allies over the issue of the war that America is running and supervising with Russia in Ukraine, and lining up behind it in its unholy war against Russia, and perhaps the Palestinian file. The escalation of acts of resistance in the West Bank and Jerusalem, the possibility of an explosion of situations at the gates of Ramadan and Al-Aqsa, and the fear of a wide fire that will break out in light of the “demonization” and marking of the holy month with violence by the leaders of the entity state, is ahead of the Iranian nuclear file in the degree of urgency, although it is less important and dangerous However, the fire erupting from this gate may burn and sweep away with it the Palestinian Authority, which suffers from stagnation and erosion in its political role in favor of its functional role. Likewise, this explosion and the flying sparks that result from it may extend to Washington’s allies who are suffering from unprecedented economic and financial crises. Therefore, he called Blinkin, the state of the entity and the Palestinian Authority, after its approval of the plan of the American general, so security, Jordan and Egypt went down to a meeting in Aqaba, which came after the Nablus massacre on 2/22/2023, which left 11 martyrs and more than 100 wounded, and in conjunction with This summit, the operation of the martyr Abd al-Fattah Harousha, who was assassinated in the Jenin camp, came as part of the massacre that left 6 martyrs and more than 26 wounded, by killing settlers in the town of Huwwara, which was subjected to a holocaust against the background of this operation by the settlers’ bullies, leaving a martyr and burning More than a hundred cars and dozens of homes and property, boasting and proud of this crime of the ministers of Jewish fascism Ben Gvir and Smotrich.

This Holocaust made it difficult for Blinken to reach a security calm, and prevented the progress and implementation of General Wenzel's plan, which was approved by the Palestinian Authority, to regain control of the cities of Nablus and Jenin, that calm revealed the truth of this meeting, that the meeting was not security, but political and included a temporary freeze to discuss residence More settlement projects, and a temporary halt to the demolition of Palestinian homes in Area C and Jerusalem, in addition to stopping the storming of Palestinian cities and towns, where the leaders of the entity state announced that settlements will not stop for a single day, nor a stop to the demolition of Jerusalem homes, nor a stop to the storming of Jerusalem cities and towns.

The escalation and deepening of the political and societal crises of the entity, the widening of the protests in quantity and quality against Netanyahu's policy and the plan to weaken the judiciary, and the entry of the military and security institutions into the line of this crisis, which went beyond being a deep political and societal crisis, but rather a structural crisis in the composition of the entity and the deep national and class difference of settlement, and this hybrid identity For the entity-state, which foreshadows the entity-state entering into a civil war that will accelerate its ruin from within, may push Netanyahu and his lust for the power he clings to, so as not to lose his political and personal future, as a result of the charges pending against him before the "Israeli" judiciary of bribery, breach of trust and mistrust, to launch a unilateral war The side is on Iran, and blowing up the situation at a time that Washington does not want and contradicts its priorities and interests, which may push the region towards an all-out regional war, and therefore the American military, political and security leaders are conducting intensive consultations and meetings with the outskirts of the Aqaba summit, to establish a security calm, by going to the summit Aqaba 2 in Sharm El-Sheikh, which seems to be held may be postponed or cancelled, as the Jenin and Jaba massacres and the subsequent Palestinian response came with a qualitative operation on Dizenkoff Street - Tel Aviv, to "brake" and challenge One of the PA's impulses to go to this summit, which is intended, is for the "Abraham" alliance to work to normalize the annexation of the PA and Jordan to this alliance, so that they go united to the second "Negev Forum" summit in Morocco, in the current month of March, in order to establish a security structure under American supervision. And the leadership of the state of the entity, and the participation of the “Abraham Normalization” alliance, along with Jordan and the Authority.

It seems that what the former American general Dayton did not succeed in, the American general will not succeed in, so he went down, and although America and the entity state agree on the strategic side, with regard to the Iranian nuclear file, but they differ in the tactical aspect, America still prefers to wait and deal with this file through a series Maximum sanctions and their tightening, but the entity state prefers the military option and tightening sanctions in its Trumpian version, and in my firm belief that hinting at the military option by the entity state alone or with the participation of America is currently excluded, unless Netanyahu commits a foolishness that ignites a regional war, and also I do not think that there will be a truce And cutting time for a safe passage for the month of Ramadan, in light of a Jewish fascism that seeks to escalate and explode the situation, and from here the military option and Netanyahu’s export of his crises remain possible, in addition to that he is unable to curb the Jewish fascist groups that have become in control of the joints of the political decision of the entity state, and therefore Netanyahu may take action Rome burned himself and those in it.

Released prisoner Fouad Al-Shobaki... Noah's Ark has arrived

بقلم: عيسى قراقع



بعد 17 عاماً قضاها في سجون الاحتلال الإسرائيلي، أفرج عن شيخ الأسرى وأكبرهم سنّاً فؤاد الشوبكي أبو حازم، أحد أبطال عملية سفينة الكارين A والتي أطلقت عليها إسرائيل عملية سفينة نوح، ربما لأن طوفان الاجتياحات والجرائم الإسرائيلية التي فاقت التصور خلال الانتفاضة الثانية عام 2000، استدعت سفينة إنقاذ بحرية لنصرة الشعب الفلسطيني وتعزيز صموده في وجه الآلة الحربية العسكرية الإسرائيلية التي اجتاحت الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة قتلاً وتدميراً واعتقالاً، وخلالها ارتكبت مجازر فظيعة ولا زالت هذه الجرائم مستمرة ومتواصلة.
أربعة عشر بحاراً فلسطينياً وعربياً بقيادة الأسير الفلسطيني عمر عكاوي عبروا البحر الأحمر باتجاه البحر المتوسط للوصول إلى الشواطئ الفلسطينية في غزة، أمواج الانتفاضة المشتعلة كانت تدفعها وسط الرياح العاتية، السفينة مسرعة، صوت أبو عمار المحاصر في المقاطعة تحثها على اجتياز كل العقبات الأمنية والطبيعية، صوت الشهداء في مخيم جنين وكنيسة المهد، صوت آلاف المعتقلين والمحاصرين والمنكوبين، صوت القدس المنتفضة في وجه الاعتداءات والاقتحامات، السفينة المحملة بالذخيرة والأسلحة تستجيب لنداء الأرض المحتلة ومخططات تصفية القضية الفلسطينية التي أسفر عنها مؤتمر كامب ديفيد عام 2000، القدس عصية على المقايضة، حق تقرير المصير كفيل أن يحرك الأرض والسماء لتعبر سفينة الإرادة كل المخاضات المظلمة، فإما أميراً وإما حراً وإما الردى.
شيخ الأسرى فؤاد الشوبكي المشرف على العملية كان ينتظر، السفينة نجت من الأقمار الصناعية الأمريكية، ومن أجهزة المراقبة الإسرائيلية، عبرت المحيط الهندي، مسارب في البحر، طرق فوق الأمواج العالية، وكان لا بد من الرد على النيران الإسرائيلية المنفلتة، الطائرات والصواريخ والإعدامات الميدانية، كان لا بد من الرد على هؤلاء الطغاة الذين حرقوا قرية حوارة، كان لا بد من الرد على الجنرال موفاز الذي أراد أن يصهر وعي الفلسطينيين بالحديد والبارود ويعتقل أحمد سعدات ومروان البرغوثي متمنياً أن يكون رماداً في جرة.
الرياح الفلسطينية تقود سفينة نوح إلى وطنها، يحركها الإله والانتماء وصلوات القدس في هباتها المتكررة، وكان لا بد من الرد على اقتحامات شارون وبن غفير والصهيونية الدينية الفاشية للمسجد الأقصى، وكان لا بد من الرد على مذابح جنين ونابلس والخروج من دائرة السلام المخادع الذي وضع كل الشعب الفلسطيني في شباك المصيدة.
سفينة الشوبكي وصلت، تحرر من الأمراض التي زرعها السجن في جسده، ها هو في رام الله يتفقد سفينته العظيمة التي غيرت مسار الانتفاضة، السفينة لا زالت مملوءة بالأسلحة، على ظهرها الآلاف من الشبان المتمردين الجريئين، أجيال لم تغرق في البحر، أجيال تنهض في كل مرحلة، سفينة الوعي الفلسطيني تجتاز الأسلاك الشائكة، تهدم السور الواقي الذي يحيط العقل والروح، إسرائيل هي التي تغرق الآن في ظلاميتها الدينية والعنصرية، تتصدع من داخلها، تدفع الثمن كدولة محتلة، دولة أبرتهايد واستعمار استيطاني، يقودها الحاخام والسيف والنزعة العسكرتارية.
القادة الإسرائيليون والسجانون الذين اعتقلوا الشوبكي، ها هم الآن يعترفون أن دولتهم البوليسية تقودها عصابة وطغاة متوحشون، وأنها تتجه لتتحول إلى دولة دكتاتورية عنصرية، دولة خراب، ويعترفون أكثر أن إلقاء القبض على الشوبكي ورفاقه في البحر لم يوقف السفينة، على متنها شعب عظيم، شعب يقاوم لم يصهره السجن ويغيبه الموت، فسفينة نوح صنعت لحماية الشعب الفلسطيني من الطوفان الإسرائيلي، هي سفينة الحياة، سفينة من وحي الإله.
سفينة الشوبكي وصلت رام الله وأبعد، شيخ الأسرى يشكر البحر وهو يعلن الفيضان في سجون الاحتلال، الأسرى يستعدون لعبور اللجج المتلاطمة، ينتفضون دفاعاً عن كرامتهم وإنسانيتهم وحقوقهم العادلة، سفينة الأسرى تتحرك في كل السجون، ملحمة أخرى لن يستطيع ابن غفير وقوانينه الفاشية أن تخمدها.
شيخ الأسرى فؤاد الشوبكي لا يحسب سنين عمره وفق تقويم السجن، لهذا يخاطبه قائلاً: أيها العمر المتنامي على عجل تريث قليلاً، فأنت أكثر جمالاً ورقة، والسجن ليس هو الأزل، والموت ليس هو القضية، إن التضحيات ومعاني الصمود والشرف الإنساني والوفاء هي تعويض الأحرار عن الزمن الضائع، ويقول: الوقت متوقف ومتشابه، ولكن أحلامنا تنحدر نحو البحر وتصب في الحقول وترتمي في أحضانها، علمني البحر أن الزمن الإنساني لا ينحصر بين القاع والسطح، ولا بين الجدار والصدى، هناك ساعة القلب المشمسة، والشاطئ الذي أراه يقترب ثم يقترب.
سفينة الشوبكي وصلت، ذخيرة ثقيلة من الصبر والإيمان والصمود، سلام على البحر والأسرى، يقول الشوبكي وهو يرفع علم فلسطين فوق السارية.

Teachers' strike... A crisis of failure confirms the need for change

Written by: Jamal Zaqout


The government's failure to formulate a logical solution that responds to the teachers' fair demands clearly shows either its turning its back on these real demands, or its inability to achieve that. Where it refrained from implementing the increase in the allowance for the nature of the work, the “profession”, and so that it would start to take effect retroactively from the beginning of this year, and in an attempt to circumvent this agreement and under the pressure of the strike, the government announced its willingness to increase by only 5%, provided that all allowances are studied, including Other government professions within the framework of the Civil Service Law, which the teachers did not accept, as they considered it an attempt to circumvent their demands and the agreement signed, announced and previously approved by the government.

The teachers had organized a mass demonstration in the city of Ramallah during the month of February, in which thousands, if not tens of thousands, participated, which reflects the strength of their rally around their demands and the movement that leads their movement, and this also shows the extent of popular support for these demands in the face of attempts to incite against teachers and hold them accountable. Responsibility for disrupting the educational process. However, this did not affect the families of the students, and the rest of the society groups that suffer from similar crises.

After the Ministry of Finance procrastinated in adhering to what the government announced again, and as it was said by “presidential directives through the director of the Authority’s intelligence,” to delineate the agreed-upon bonus, i. Procrastinate and try to get around it. In the absence of trust and constructive dialogue, the teachers continued their strike, and the data indicates that additional numbers have joined the strike, especially since their previous salaries have been deducted. Yesterday, Monday, they also organized a protest demonstration and a central sit-in, gathering in a remarkable and unprecedented way in front of the Council of Ministers.

It is with great regret that the government has shown its failure to deal with this crisis over and over again, and it was not helped by seeking help from the security forces, nor by the reprehensible appeals through mosque loudspeakers, simply because this crisis, like others, has shaken confidence and dropped the credibility of the government, which unfortunately abandoned its position and powers, and became applicable to it like “Watch what you see.” This is what happened and is happening in the crisis of the judiciary and the fundamental change that affected its independence, and it is what happened and is happening with the crises that accumulate daily, and put the power in one valley and the people in another valley.

The need for change and unity

Patchwork treatments for these accumulated crises limit the danger of a popular explosion at any moment, at a time when we as a people need to close ranks and prevent a descent into a state of chaos, not through verbal promises, and the continuation of the policy of domination and monopoly of decision-making. The impasse now threatens not only the future of the political system and its national movement, but also our people's resilience and the overall national destiny. Getting out of this impasse is now in the hands of the president to take concrete steps to restore unity, and a comprehensive national consensus on a government of capable national competencies and delegated the powers regulated by the Basic Law, and sets its priorities by strengthening people’s steadfastness and their ability to confront the occupation’s plans to liquidate their cause, and to take the necessary practical steps towards Establishing transitional justice, preparing political climates and administrative procedures that guarantee going to presidential and legislative elections within the framework of a realistic and agreed-upon timetable. The burden is heavy, and the danger to our national destiny is imminent, and confronting it requires a review from everyone, and drawing from previous experiences in a way that unites and mobilizes the energies of our people in all places of their presence towards their basic tasks of freedom and dignity, otherwise history will not be merciful to anyone.

Likewise, the men of Argentine coach Diego Simone have not tasted defeat in “La Liga” since January 8, when he fell 1-0 to Barcelona.

And the cards may be completely mixed up if Juventus succeeds in the appeal submitted in order to recover the 15 points that were deducted from his balance for accusing him of financial manipulation, as he will raise his balance according to the current arrangement of 53 points, which makes him second.
Milan finished the first half ahead thanks to Frenchman Olivier Giroud from a header after a corner kick executed by Algerian Ismail Ben Nasser (1 + 45), raising his tally to 8 goals in the league this season.
But the guests equalized at the start of the second half through Senegalese Boulay Dia after a cross from Croatian Domagoi Bradarić (61), just before three changes to Milan, who brought in the returning Swede after a long absence Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Belgians Divock Origi and Charles de Kitlar instead of Jiro, the Portuguese Rafael Leao and the Spaniard Ibrahim Dias (62).
Milan thought that he had a chance to regain the lead after the referee awarded him a penalty kick in favor of Bin Nasser after a mistake by Bradarić, but the video assistant referee “VAR” intervened and canceled the penalty kick (70).

Ola pioneer honey with different flavour

Small projects are one of the most important means for the advancement of the economy and self-development, to achieve great results on the individual level, and lead to financial independence, especially for women, because it gives them peace of mind and the achievement of their goals, no one can control the events of life, but women who own their own projects control how to respond No matter how difficult their ambition is, the goals will remain just dreams without working to achieve them and striving to reach them and take control of things. Unlike those who lack economic empowerment, they always fall at the mercy of circumstances.

Many women view work as an essential step that must be taken, and some women view work as just an additional step in their life without any reason. Relying on an independent economic life is very difficult for a woman to find a job that matches her personality, the nature of her family life, and her degree. Increasing skills and certificates so that work is not difficult to be independent of and does not stand in front of you in the search for financial independence for your life.

The first way


Small projects generate opportunities, primarily on the personal initiative and self-efforts of the owner of the project, which will be reflected in the future on achieving a quantum leap in society. Its goal is to achieve itself through a project to manufacture medical and safe body and skin care products that are suitable for adults and children of both sexes.

Ola says: I moved between many jobs, but I did not stay long in a specific job. By my nature, I like to be a pioneer and the queen of myself. I hold the reins more than instructions are imposed on me. Since childhood, I have loved everything related to body, skin and hair care, and I love everything related to beauty and health. The idea of my project began to crystallize in this direction, but I needed someone to hold my hand at the beginning of the path and push me towards the first step, as it is always the most difficult at the beginning of the path, and at An-Najah University a colleague of mine was the one who helped me to take this step and I will not forget his grace as long as I live, he started helping me with books that I need and guide me to the sites that I benefit from, and gradually I started the project.

And she continued: The first step was only by manufacturing glycerin soap only without any other product, from the beginning of 2019 until its middle, and I was doing experiments and throwing them without success until I finally reached the correct formula, according to accurate chemical calculations and many things that I reached according to accurate and specific amounts until I succeeded, after that the subject became much easier after the first experiment, as I knew exactly what references I needed and benefited from, and then I distributed the soap to my relatives and those around me to try it, and I found great acceptance of it and many people benefited from it, then I started selling it, and I started the steps to develop the project.

From making soap to producing thirty different varieties


With passion alone, a person can draw his life as he wants. For every great success and prosperous project, a starting step was the basis for launching, and through it she was able to make a great success, and start a new stage in the world of entrepreneurship to excel and start her project in the first step with one product to work with what she loves and to excel and prove that Women are able to achieve success and excellence in what they love, to reach thirty different products for skin and body care.

And about the steps of development, Ola speaks with a big smile and joy, saying: I decided to start expanding, and since we love perfumes greatly, I entered the field of perfumes by making various aromatic serums, including what is for the hair as a protection from heat, then for the body and to maintain its softness, as well as for children, which causes them allergies, after So I went towards many products, and thank God, thanks to the Lord of the Worlds, I now have thirty diverse and different products, all of which are medical and one hundred percent safe.

And she continued: I depend on all my products on the inclusion of a natural element in it, where the active substance in the product is a natural substance, for example my human lotion is medical. Variety for the skin, such as vitamin E and C serums, moisturizing creams and peelings for the face and body, Moroccan soap, body butter, salt-free shampoo, natural hair oil capsules, and hair-smoothing serums. The essence of the rose rose, which naturally moisturizes the cheeks and lips area, and lip balm. French and Arabic perfumes, house fresheners, and grain concealer. A substance placed on the grains to reduce their size and remove them in a safe way, in addition to a coconut hair bath, in addition to a deodorant, and I consider it at the top with my work and many other products that my memory fails me to talk about all of them.

And she continued: Praise be to God, all the products I have have a demand and demand by virtue of the fact that whoever tries them once returns to them again and tries others, but I consider the deodorant product to be at the top of the products, as its basis is the semi-substance known to reduce the amount of sweat through its effect on the sweat gland to reduce the sweat that is secreted from it and its effect lasts. 24 hours and many challenges occurred with people when they tried deodorant that if the smell of sweat appeared after 23 hours of use, they would return the product and get double its price, and it also works to lighten and whiten the underarm area, which is what distinguishes it from what is in the market, which causes blackness under the armpit And the feedback from customers was very wonderful, and I also put in the products an abundant amount, taking into account that the price is suitable for everyone so that everyone can buy, and my motto is that a little profit brings a big gain, and I have an aromatic serum that gives moisture to the body because its basis is coconut oil that works on Nourishing and restoring the skin, and at the same time, its fragrant aroma of French perfumes that can be spread on the body without chemicals, without causing irritation and sensitivity, because I use medicinal substances in perfumes in a large way, which gives high hydration to the body and It smells refreshing and delicious, and you choose the scent you prefer, such as pepper, jasmine, narcissus, and others. Perfumes are available for both females and males.

And she continued: The shampoo is free of salts with an extract of natural oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, bitter almond, castor, jojoba and nigella sativa oil, which nourishes the hair and at the same time protects the hair follicles from being closed due to the salts being free of them and the acceptance is a lot because most of the problems lie in the smell of sweat and hair care to intensify Moisturizing the body while still smelling fragrant because essential oils remain engraved in the body.


Innovation and experiments


When a person knows his true passion, his life turns into a world of pleasure and happiness. Passion is a person's guide to what he loves, and with it alone he can draw his life as he wants, overcome everything, and experiment with determination to reach what he wants.

Asal says: At the beginning of my career, it took me months to be able to produce one product for one reason, which is the limited information and sites that can be used. For example, it was not available to me in large quantities. Over time, this information became available to me, and I became the one who gave it to people. At the present time, I need a whole week to list the work steps and the formula is ready. After that, I work on it, and the work needs another week, then I try the product myself, in addition to giving it to those who are very close to me to try it, and more. I have a skin type to make sure of its effect, and this needs three weeks. Of course, certain chemical tests are done on it, which we cannot do without, such as viscosity, density, its effects on the body, the pH, and others.

And she continues: In the beginning of 2019, I allocated a corner in my kitchen to work in, and with time I sought and rented a place in which I allocated a room in which to be my laboratory and put my equipment in it and do work in it, and this is by the grace of God, in the same place where I live and do everything with my own hands to be confident in my products and I can give the customer the product according to his need The opposite of someone helping in the work, as the temperature of a material, for example, causes it to decompose, so I like my work to be only with my hands because it is a handmade product and I am satisfied with myself because the business owner is more keen than others on his work in addition to because his passion for his own work is completely different from the employee's passion.

The reason for naming it "Misk soap & more"


Everything in this life has a specific reason that pushes us towards it, and every success has great steps and efforts that are made for it, and behind every successful project is a name that has been associated with it and known through it, and within this name is a specific reason for launching it from the project, and this is what was behind naming Ola for her project “Misk soap& more .

Ola says: I am like any mother. I have children who are seven years old and Misk two years old. At the start of the project, I was still pregnant with my daughter Misk, and I had decided with my husband the name we would give her. My products are natural, so it will be appropriate and after my daughter, and at first I was facing the problem of coordination between work and children, but my husband was very cooperative with me, as well as my mother, may God protect her. They helped me a lot with children to save time and focus on my work. The conditions are favorable in terms of my surroundings, and when I make compositions, I work in a large amount and keep them according to safe conditions. When there are orders, I fill orders only without working on making compositions every day.

difficulties


The ability to overcome difficulties and turn them into mere stumbling blocks that will soon be overcome is a task that is not easy in any beginning and project, and Ola has the patience and clarity of vision of what she intends to do and the ambition to change her reality and succeed in her project. Regarding some of the difficulties and obstacles that give success a distinctive flavor and great happiness, and about the difficulties that did not stand in the way of the development of work, she says: At the beginning, Dr. Omaid Amira stood with me with my project and preferred him to me until the last day of my life. And you looked at the question asked, “Why do you want to work?” I am by nature ambitious and I love work. I did not study and learn because I only care about my family and not be productive. I would like to reach a stage that one day my name will be mentioned publicly in front of my children and they will be proud of me and I will be their role model. The first difficulty is how to provide raw materials, especially since the beginning of my work was in small quantities, and most of them wanted to sell in large quantities, and it took me time to be able to find sources of raw materials, after that the cans that I used It was not easy to secure the materials and their prices were high, and I was subjected to great exploitation by merchants, but in the end I was able to reach a permanent source at a reasonable price and in the quantities that I need permanently, but I still face the problem of electronic marketing, because I am not well versed in social media, in addition to the fact that specialized companies ask for imaginary sums. Direct Marketing I have a great ability to persuade because the materials I make and I know completely their quality and passion for my work and I can deliver the information correctly.

She concluded her speech by saying: The Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Work is worship.” Why do we confine our lives to four walls and to our children when we can raise our children even when we work? The only difference is our conviction about ourselves that changes with work. By myself and proud of myself as long as I develop myself, the society’s view of me will be as I see myself, so we have to be proud of myself and whoever has the opportunity to develop himself practically must prove his existence in his name to have an impact after I die, and we must always start our steps with the lowest costs and God will be with us It helps us and guides us. We must not fail and confine ourselves between walls. Negative thoughts will affect us and our negative energy will increase, and this is clearly reflected in the upbringing of children in a big way if the mother has negative energy and will destroy them psychologically without realizing it. One thing, either we take advantage of it and leave, or we waste it and stay in our place, and it is nice to leave a beautiful impact among people.
