A culture of power and control
Written by: Abd al-Ilah Belkaziz
Man's relationship with nature has witnessed, in our modern era, a dramatic transformation in which it has changed from what it was in the past. That is, over a long history, man remained a part of nature, not distinct from it or separated from it. A new feeling of distinction and superiority within the natural system led him to think of leaving this system and establishing a parallel and antithetical system that would be more compatible with the type of new view that he began to form about himself. This marked the birth of the modern era.
The idea of controlling, conquering, subjugating and harnessing nature does not have a long history; Its history dates back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in particular: the results of modern science tempted man to come to that control, and to transform nature from a pet into a harmful being that needs subjugation and taming, and from an incubator to an external subject for his conquests! It is the moment when man separated from natural morals; That is, the morals that he derives from the feeling of belonging to nature, in order to impersonate in it other morals, which are the morals of power: the power that was inspired by science, and inspired by the feeling of the centrality and uniqueness of man, and the authority of reason and rationality entrenched it in him to transform, with the effect of all of this, into the warrior morals.
Nature has been defamed since then, and it has become represented in consciousness as a synonym for what preceded the act of human creation, then everything that man produced was placed against it: history versus nature, culture versus nature, science versus nature, industry versus nature, and technology versus nature..then Soon, the philosophy of the social contract in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries consolidated this view through the defense of its philosophers (Thomas Hobbes, Baruch Spinoza, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau...) for an alternative system to the natural system, which is the political and civil system, with strong criticism of it. The natural order, according to him, is a system of perpetual war.
Thus, all human activities seemed to be organized within a new system. post-nature system.
It is the age of power par excellence, and the age of the philosophy of power even before Nietzsche's thought entered its space, the age of the scientific revolution, the discovery of gunpowder, the violence of religious wars, the industrial revolution, the advance of the capitalist system, the rule of rationality and the experimental spirit. With these resources and tools, man was able to accomplish his conquests and to control nature and man himself, and to absorb their powers by exploiting them.
With gunpowder, he controlled the land, extracted forests and jungles from the animal after he exterminated it to turn it into farms or cities, keeping some of its original inhabitants in cages to watch in zoos. And with gunpowder he took control of three quarters of the land in which the “man of nature” lives, who, according to his custom, has not yet become a human being in the manner of the white European man, and he justified his colonization by spreading civilization and urbanization in “barbarian” societies.
Through industry, he transformed nature and harnessed it for an interest, without caring what it entailed in terms of disturbing the environmental balance, and through it and with science, he produced its opposite: technology, and established its authority in the material world. And with reason and rationality, he made the human faculties that came before them insignificant and more ignoble than them: imagination, intuition, and creation.
The age of power worship is that age; the era in which we are still living; The era of a new religion in which the human being is deified with power to impose his mighty will on nature and man. There are no limits in it to the law of force: Natural Darwinism elects the strongest: man versus nature and animals, and legitimizes for the stronger the dominion over what is less powerful, and Social Darwinism elects the strongest: white man versus all blacks and colored people, “precious” races versus “vile” races, and the upper classes of society Society versus the lower classes, and thus the new master/slave relationship is established to justify all kinds of crimes: genocides, colonial wars, racism, slavery, and class exploitation..!
This power and its carriers (science, reason, capital) that imposed its law in the modern era, and established its institutions that begged for control and subjugation, imposed its morals on all morals (natural morals, religious morals, human morals...), and looked with contempt at the values of mercy and kindness And pardon, charity, solidarity, and peace, considering them morals for the defeated slaves (Nietzsche), venerating the morals of force. On the other hand, its dominant culture, which was spread by its institutions, is positivism, scientism, and pragmatism: the new religions of the age.

Ukrainian grain stirs congestion in the waters of Istanbul
Istanbul - (AFP) - With the acceleration of grain exports from Ukraine, traffic is forming at the gates of the Bosphorus, as cargo ships line up endlessly off the coast of Istanbul.
150 cargo ships, some empty and others loaded, were waiting on Tuesday at the entrance and exit of the strait before undergoing the rigorous inspection process that would allow them to sail, with the waiting period possibly reaching about 12 days sometimes.
The agreement signed with Kiev and Moscow on July 19, under the auspices of the United Nations and Turkey, for the export of Ukrainian grain , has allowed more than 630 ships to cross in both directions since it entered into force on August 1.
In total, more than 6.9 million tons of grain went to Europe and the Middle East, and a smaller percentage to Africa, according to data from the Joint Coordination Center in Istanbul, which authorizes and checks flights.
Wheat and maize constitute the main part of exports aimed at relieving pressure on global markets and responding to fears of a food crisis.
The crew of the black-and-white cargo ship "Nordfind", which flies the Barbados flag, is relieved as the team of investigators prepares to board.
Marwan, a Syrian sailor, told AFP that they had been waiting "for 11 days, which is a very long time."
He explains that what makes waiting more difficult is that "the berthing area is difficult. The ship's location must be constantly changed and the engines re-launched," asking, "Why are we waiting like this?"
It was the Joint Coordination Center that warned of the situation at the end of last week, pointing to the long waiting times, despite its efforts to double the number of inspection teams, "from two teams to four."
While the navigation traffic with the Ukrainian ports returned to normal, the Joint Coordination Center stated in a statement that "the waiting time for cargo ships leaving (from Ukraine) last week reached an average of nine days," referring to the "crowding of the Sea of Marmara" with ships.
While there was a discussion about renewing the agreement on November 19, the Coordination Center asked the ship owners to strictly adhere to the approved procedures and to complete all preparations “before announcing that they are ready” because “in more than fifty cases, it was not possible to complete the inspection process from the first time.” ".
For their part, shipping companies complain about the deadlines that cost them "five thousand dollars a day, in addition to the lost profits," according to an observer who requested anonymity.
Each team includes eight inspectors, two of them for each of the parties to the agreement, Russia, Ukraine, the United Nations and Turkey, with the two Turkish inspectors handling logistical issues in particular.
The inspection of the 169-meter-long "Nordfind" ship, loaded with 27,250 tons of wheat, takes no less than two hours.
While part of the team was on the ship, the other members noticed that the doors of the holds were open, which posed a danger to the inspectors, so everyone rushed to get off again, which led to wasting about ten minutes.
Odani Pereira, the inspector who was dismissed by the Sri Lankan navy to the United Nations, explained that each shipment is supposed to be treated with insecticides through steam sterilization technology, to protect the grains from various pests.
"After that, the wards should be ventilated, but they should have been closed before our arrival for the sake of the team's health," she added.
After they board the ship, the inspectors share tasks between verifying the ship's logs and documents, examining the identity papers of the crew members, the voyage the ship took, the fuel tanks, and of course the status of the grain.
Odani Pereira checks the crew's documents and checks out the section designated for their accommodation "to ensure that no unauthorized person is on the ship".
In the meantime, her two Ukrainian colleagues check the amount of fuel in the tank, and the two Russian inspectors descend along the corridors to check the wards.
One of them says to the captain, "Your ship is one of the best."
Nord Find finally gets the green light to head to Tunisia, its final destination.
In the morning, the inspection of the 225-meter-long Singapore-flagged Cola Treasure took more than three hours as it waited empty to proceed to Kronomorsk, near Odessa.
"The duration depends on the size of the ship and how prepared it is. This morning, there were missing documents," the young inspector said.
This resulted in a great deal of wasted time, and by the end of the day, only two of the four ships originally scheduled had been inspected.

Jerusalem Hadith:: The Palestinian internal situation must be changed
الوضع الداخلي الفلسطيني على الصعيد السياسي يسير من سيء الى أسوأ، بسبب الانقسام المدمر من جانب، وبسبب الانتهاكات الاسرائيلية وارتكابها الجرائم بحق شعبنا وأرضنا ومقدساتنا، والتهاء العالم بالحرب الروسية – الاوكرانية، والتي هي حرب بين روسيا والغرب ممثلاً بحلف الاطلسي، الامر الذي جعل قضية شعبنا في آخر سلم أولويات العالم.
ومع ذلك فإن الانقسام يزداد تعمقاً بدلاً من انهائه لمواجهة التحديات التي تمر بها قضية شعبنا، ومؤامرات الاحتلال التي تستهدفها مستغلة بذلك الوضع الدولي الراهن الذي بات لا يعير أي اهتمام لقضية شعبنا، وجل اهتمامه نحو الحرب الروسية الاوكرانية والتي قد تتحول بين عشية وضحاها الى حرب كونية جديدة قد لا تبقي ولا تذر.
وباستثناء المقاومة الشعبية التي تشهدها الضفة الغربية بما فيها القدس لمواجهة قمع وجرائم الاحتلال، فإن التحركات الفلسطينية سواء على صعيد القيادة أو فصائل العمل الوطني والاسلامي، لا تحرك ساكناً باتجاه خطوات عملية ليس فقط لإنهاء هذا الانقسام المدمر، بل ولدعم واسناد ما يقوم به ابناء شعبنا في الضفة من مقاومة للاحتلال الذي يصعد من اعتداءاته وجرائمه يومياً دون ان يخشى أحدا.
لقد أصبح الاحتلال لا يعير أي اهتمام لبيانات الشجب والتحرك الدبلوماسي الذي لم يؤد الى حل قضية شعبنا الوطنية منذ اكثر من قرن من الزمان.
وهنا نعيد ونكرر بأن استمرار الوضع الداخلي الفلسطيني على ما هو عليه الآن من سوء، ومعاناة الناس من جرائم الاحتلال، لن تقود إلا الى تمرير دولة الاحتلال لمخططاتها في الضم والتوسع الاستيطاني والتطهير العرقي وضياع القدس وغيرها الكثير.
لقد ضاق أبناء شعبنا ذرعاً بهذه الاوضاع وعلى الجميع تغليب المصلحة الوطنية العليا على المصالح الشخصية والحزبية والعمل على السير بقضية شعبنا نحو بر الأمان.
صحيح ان شعبنا قدم ولا يزال يقدم التضحيات الجسام، سواء في الضفة بما فيها القدس الشرقية أو قطاع غزة، غير ان ذلك يتطلب من الكل الفلسطيني تقديم الدعم والاسناد لهذه التضحيات لكي تستمر، ولكي تفشل بالدرجة الاولى مخططات الاحتلال ورهانه على تعب شعبنا واستسلامه، وهذا غير وارد على الاطلاق وسيواصل شعبنا مسيرته الوطنية حتى احقاق كامل حقوقه الوطنية الثابتة وغير القابلة للتصرف.
فماذا تنتظر القيادة والفصائل في ضوء هذه الاوضاع التي لا تسر أحدا، والتي تهدد قضية شعبنا؟! فالوضع الداخلي يجب ان يتغير لما فيه مصلحة الوطن والقضية.

Are we on the cusp of a religious war?
حديث القدس
بعد فوز اليمين الاسرائيلي المتطرف في انتخابات الكنيست الاسرائيلي وحصوله على المرتبة الثالثة بعد الليكود ويوجد مستقبل ، فإن الامور في عموم فلسطين التاريخية تسير من سيء الى الأسوأ، خاصة وان هذا اليمين الممثل بـ «بن غفير» ومن معه سيصعدون من اعتداءاتهم وهجماتهم ليس على الفلسطينيين في الضفة بما فيها القدس الشرقية، بل أيضا على فلسطينيي الداخل.
فبن غفير وزبانيته هم الذين يمارسون الاعتداءات على الفلسطينيين وخاصة على المقدسيين في حي الشيخ جراح، والمرابطين والمرابطات في المسجد الاقصى المبارك والذي يقوم المستوطنين في اقتحاماتهم له ويعيثون بداخله فسادا ويقيمون الصلوات التلمودية ويعملون ليل نهار من أجل هدمه واقامة الهيكل المزعوم مكانه، كما انه يسكن في مستوطنة كريات اربع في الخليل ويمارس ايضا هناك اعتداءات على المواطنين ويشجع المستوطنين على الاعتداء على مواطني حي الرميدة.
والى جانب كل ذلك فهو الذي دافع ويدافع عن قتلة الفلسطينيين على أيدي قطعان المستوطنين وعلى أي مستوطن او يهودي يعتدي على المواطنين في الضفة الغربية بما فيها القدس وايضا في الداخل الفلسطيني، وهو الذي دعا ويدعو الى قتل الفلسطينيين وتهجيرهم الى الدول العربية المجاورة وتشجيع الاستيطان وضم الضفة باعتبارها حسب زعمه هو وزبانيته أرض اسرائيلية، وان على الفلسطينيين الرحيل عنها.
غير ان ما هو مهم ايضا ان بن غفير ومن معه هم من اليمين المتطرف الذي يسعى ويعمل على تطبيق التوراة في دولة الاحتلال، وهذا يعني انه يعمل مع اعضاء الكنيست من أجل أعضاء حزبه والمتحالف معه والذين يؤيدونه على تحويل الصراع من صراع سياسي على الحقوق الوطنية الفلسطينية الى صراع ديني قد لا يبقي ولا يذر خاصة وان المجتمع الاسرائيلي يميل بسرعة هائلة نحو اليمين المتطرف والعنصري ، الامر الذي يؤدي هذا الصراع الديني الى ما لا تحمد عقباه.
وعليه فإن المنطقة مقبلة على تطورات في غير صالح شعبنا وقضيتنا، وهذا الامر يدعو الكل الفلسطيني لتوحيد الجهود من أجل مواجهة المرحلة المقبلة الصعبة وإفشال مخططات اليمين المتطرف والعنصري بل والفاشي.
اما ابقاء الانقسام على حاله وعدم التحرك العاجل لانهائه وتوحيد الساحة الفلسطينية سياسيا وجغرافيا ودعم المقاومة الشعبية ولجان الحراسة ، فإن الامور ستسير من سيء الى أسوأ كما ذكرنا سابقا وعندها يتحمل الكل الفلسطيني أي القيادة والفصائل المسؤولية الكاملة، ولن يرحم التاريخ أحدا.
والسؤال الذي يطرح نفسه الآن: هل نحن على أعتاب حرب دينية تنعكس ليس فقط على شعبنا وإنما ايضا على دولة الاحتلال والمجتمع الدولي الذي هو الاخر يتحمل المسؤولية التاريخية عما آلت اليه الاوضاع في دولة الاحتلال ؟!

NATO begins admission procedures for membership of Sweden and Finland
Brussels - (AFP) - The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will launch procedures to ratify the accession of Sweden and Finland to the alliance on Tuesday, in a historic decision for two northern countries prompted by the Russia-led war in Ukraine.
NATO said in a statement, "The allies will sign on Tuesday the Protocol on the Acceptance of Membership of Finland and Sweden."
Likewise, the Secretary-General of the Alliance, which includes 30 countries, Jens Stoltenberg, said during the inauguration ceremony of the new Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, American General Christopher Cavoli, "We are preparing to receive two new allies that have tremendous military forces and capabilities."
Swedish Foreign Minister Anne Linde and her Finnish counterpart, Pekka Haavisto, participated in the final discussions at the organization's headquarters in Brussels on Monday, before the scheduled signing of the accession protocols on Tuesday and the start of the ratification process in each of the coalition member states.
Turkey agreed to launch this process during the summit of NATO leaders in Madrid, but President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reminded the two northern countries of the conditions that must be met. He said in a press conference, "If they do their duty, we will submit (the memorandum of understanding) to Parliament (for approval). If you do not do that, we will not send it to Parliament...".
Erdogan referred to a "promise made by Sweden" regarding "the deportation of 73 terrorists." This promise came in a memorandum signed by the leaders of the three countries in Madrid on Tuesday before the opening of the summit.
Erdogan said, "They will deport them, they promised to do so. This is stipulated in written documents. They will keep their promise."
Ankara has been calling on Stockholm for several years to deport Kurdish fighters and people close to the movement of the preacher Fethullah Gulen, whom the Turkish authorities accuse of attempting a coup in July 2016.
Nabila Masrli, spokeswoman for EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell, said that Sweden and Finland are members of the European Union, but the agreement signed in Madrid "binds only these three countries."
"Anti-terrorism legislation is a sovereign right of states, but they must respect basic rules and rights," she told reporters, explaining that "Turkey has a broad interpretation of anti-terrorism legislation and seizes the opportunity to arrest anyone who criticizes, journalists, lawyers or human rights defenders."

Europa League: Pellegrini and Mourinho's struggle is renewed against Betis and Roma
(AFP) - The competition between Portuguese Jose Mourinho, the Italian coach of Rome, and his Chilean counterpart, Manuel Pellegrini, has flared up at Real Betis in recent years, but Thursday's confrontation in Group C of the fourth round of the European League competition "Europa League" will carry with it the decisive factor. for the two clubs.
From the third round of Rome, with 3 points from a victory and two defeats, the meeting will be a hope to stay within the qualification circle to the final price, while Betis, the leader with a full score (9 points), can reserve his seat for the second round if he succeeds at his Benito Villamarin Stadium, where he shines from the beginning The new season to repeat its victory over its guest.
The fates of the coaches intertwined, as Mourinho (59 years old) was appointed coach of Real Madrid in the year 2010 following President Florentino Perez’s decision to dismiss Pellegrini, but the successful career of the Portuguese coach who led the “Merengue” to a record harvest with 96 points was not enough to beat his arch-rivals Barcelona. And his coach, Pep Guardiola (the current English coach of Manchester City), and his 99 points.
Mourinho said at the time, when asked about the possibility of Peres giving up his services, "If Madrid gets rid of me, I will not go to Malaga training, I will be at the highest levels in Italy or England."
However, Malaga was the new destination for Pellegrini (69 years) after his departure from the capital, Madrid, and he led him to fourth place in “La Liga” with a record number of points in the club’s history (58), and then in the following season to the quarter-finals of the Champions League competition, where He narrowly lost to Germany's Borussia Dortmund.
Inside the green rectangle, Real Mourinho outperformed Malaga Pellegrini on several occasions, including the sweeping victory by seven clean, and while the Portuguese succeeded in winning the Spanish League title in 2012, the Chilean coach's record remained devoid of this cup.
The two coaches met again, but in the English Premier League, with Mourinho returning to coach Chelsea after he left him in 2007 to embark on a successful adventure with Italian Inter (2008-2010) and then to Real, while Pellegrini sat on the Manchester City bench (2013-2016).
The Chilean refused to shake hands with the Portuguese after Chelsea beat City 2-1 in 2014, but in the end he finally laughed after leading Citizens to win the Premier League.
The numbers tend in favor of Mourinho, with 8 wins from 16 confrontations compared to 3 draws, knowing that the last meeting between the coaches in Italy in the previous stage of the “Europa League” was in favor of Pellegrini and his winning team 2-1.
The engineer Pellegrini loves to play beautiful and display football, and he succeeded in imposing his ideas with Betis without sacrificing results.
And the ranks of the Andalusian club are full of stars, starting from the top scorer Borja Iglesias to the legendary winger Joaquin (41 years), passing through the French playmaker Nabil Fekir and Sergio Canales, as Pellegrini succeeded in leading him to win his fourth title in his history and the first since 2015 by winning the local cup last year, as was the title. The first for the Chilean coach since winning the FA Cup in 2016.
"Mourinho had a winning streak and made the decision to move to Rome," Pellegrini said in a wink on his Portuguese counterpart's channel.
He added, "I remember when I went to Malaga after Real, (Mourinho) said then that he would not coach a team like Malaga."
And he added, “I was proud to go there (Malaga) because I liked the challenge, and it was a new project … I think the same thing happened with Mourinho.” Europe or winning the Conference League.
Although the two coaches buried the axes of war, the battle will flare up again on Thursday evening, as the victory of Real Betis will bring it closer to qualifying as the leader of one of the groups, which will prevent it from facing a team coming from the Champions League.
On the other hand, Mourinho needs a new victory in Europe to raise his tally to 107 victories in all continental competitions, which will make him break the record he shares with former Manchester United Scottish coach Alex Ferguson (106).
These statistics link Mourinho's successful career at his peak with his new adventure in Rome, and although Pellegrini has every respect for his counterpart, he plans to make life difficult for his old rival in Seville.
And Group E, Manchester United of England will seek to renew its victory over Omonia Nicosia of Cyprus, but this time at its home, “Old Trafford”, where it has six points in second place, in an effort to catch up with leaders Real Sociedad of Spain (9 points in the lead) and hosts Sheriff Tiraspol of Moldova.
In the first group, English Arsenal (6 points) and Dutch Eindhoven (4) will continue their efforts to qualify, as the first is a guest on Bodo Glimt of Norway, while the second hosts Zurich, Switzerland.
Two French teams will have the opportunity to snatch the top spot in their groups. In the second, Rennes will defeat Ukrainian Dynamo Kiev in Poland due to the conflict in Ukraine, while Monaco will head to Turkey to face Trabzonspor.

The start of a "comprehensive national dialogue" in Chad after it was repeatedly postponed
N'Djamena - (AFP) - The comprehensive national dialogue, which has been postponed several times, between the civilian and armed opposition and the ruling military junta in Chad , begins on Saturday and will last for three weeks, with the aim of "turning the page" on the transitional period and reaching "free and democratic elections".
Muhammad Idriss Deby Itno, who assumed power in April 2021 at the head of the Transitional Military Council after the death of his father, Idriss Deby, who ruled the country with an iron fist for 30 years, promised to organize a dialogue with the opposition to reach the return of power to civilians within an 18-month renewable period. Once.
Will meet about 1400 delegates representing trade unions and political parties and the Transitional Military Council for a period of 21 days in the Palace of January 15 in the heart of the capital, N'Djamena, in order to discuss reform of institutions and the development of a new constitution that is supposed to be put to a vote in a referendum. Issues of peace and fundamental freedoms will also be discussed.
The delegates will meet in various committees.
Saleh Kabzabo, first vice-chairman of the Comprehensive National Dialogue Organizing Committee, told Agence France-Presse that "Mohamed Idriss Deby is scheduled to deliver an introductory speech at about ten o'clock, and the work of the dialogue will begin on Sunday or Monday."
"The delegates will not all come from the beginning because some of them will come from inside the country," added the former presidential candidate and opponent of Idriss Deby.
Chadian African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat will deliver a speech at the opening of the dialogue.
This "comprehensive national warm", which was initially scheduled for February before being postponed several times, opens less than two weeks after the signing of an agreement in Doha between the Chadian military council and some forty rebel groups.
This agreement, signed on August 8 and concluded with a number of armed groups that have fought the Idriss Deby regime for years, stipulates, in particular, a "ceasefire". This allowed the rebels to participate in the dialogue.
"We signed this agreement to rebuild Chad," said Timan Erdimi, leader of the Union of Resistance Forces, who returned Thursday to N'Djamena after years of exile to take part in the dialogue. The same position was expressed by Muhammad Nuri, leader of the "Union of Forces for Democracy and Development" movement.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres congratulated Chad on this dialogue, which he saw as a "historic opportunity to lay new foundations for stability" in the country.
Chad, which became independent from France since 1960, witnessed a number of coups and coup attempts. "This dialogue should allow us to put the use of arms behind us once and for all," said government spokesman Abd al-Rahman Kalamullah.
A decree signed on Wednesday by the head of the military council, Mohamed Idriss Deby, stipulates that the "comprehensive national dialogue" will be "sovereign" and its decisions will be "executive".
The decree stipulates that "the head of the Transitional Military Council, the President of the Republic, the Head of State, is the guarantor" of the dialogue.
The Front for Balance and Accord in Chad, one of the major rebel movements behind the attack that killed Idriss Deby, did not sign the Doha agreement and would not participate in the dialogue, considering it "pre-biased".
The coalition of opposition parties and members of civil society "Wakt Tama" also refused to participate in the dialogue, accusing the military council of perpetuating "human rights violations" and preparing for General Deby's candidacy for the presidency, even though he pledged at the beginning of the transitional period not to run.
The selection of delegates also drew sharp criticism. "We believe that 80 percent of the delegates are close to the junta," said Soxeh Masara, leader of the "Transformers" party, which is part of the "Wakt Tama" coalition.
Mohamed Idriss Deby was forced to make pledges to the international community, promising to return power to civilians within 18 months and not to run for the next elections.
However, in June 2021, it seemed that he was reneging on his promises when he said that an extension of the 18-month transition period was possible, referring to the surrender of "his command to God" regarding his possible candidacy for the presidency.

Anti-Semitism.... the idol of worshiping the leaders of Israel and the Zionist movement
Written by: Tayseer Khaled
A few days ago, under the headline (Get out of there), Yedioth Ahronoth, the largest newspaper published in Israel, published an editorial commenting on the crisis that erupted between Russia and Israel, following the Russian Ministry of Justice's appeal to the court with a request to stop the work of the Jewish Agency for its violations of Russian law. In that editorial the paper went so far in its position when it claimed that the Jews of Russia had nothing to look for in that country, warmly recommending that the 120 to 150 thousand who remained in it should begin immediately to pack up and prepare themselves for every possible means of exodus. The state, before it closes its gates and before it wakes up with all its severity, black Russian anti-Semitism. Also, a few days ago, about 40 left-wing deputies in France, most of them communists, signed a draft resolution condemning the Israeli institutional apartheid regime against the Palestinians, which sparked the condemnation of several associations that included the step in anti-Semitism.
What drives Israel and the Zionist movement and their supporters to unearth the sword of anti-Semitism in the face of everyone who criticizes the behavior of Israel and its extensions abroad, whether the organizations of the Zionist movement lobby or the Jewish Agency? Is publicizing the sword of anti-Semitism a just cause, or is it a pretext to deter anyone who takes a just stance on Israeli practices against the Palestinian people throughout the history of their national struggle? I came back here to search for the root of the problem, recalling the Jewish issue and the methods of searching for solutions to it in the course of history, so I was stopped by Karl Marx's position on this issue as an introduction to the search for the answer. Throughout its history, the Jewish question, according to Karl Marx, revealed the corruption of bourgeois society. He accused it of ultimately being responsible for the alienation of man because it spread a vision of the relationship with the world based on selfish need and illegal trade, as the Jewish issue is not related to religion. Continuing that he is not looking for the secret of the Jew in his religion, but rather looking for the secret of religion in the realistic Jew, calling for thinking about the ordinary, worldly, realistic Jew and not about the young Jew, as he put it. Marx proposed to solve the issue of the Jews by eliminating the god of their money, i.e. capitalism.
Regardless of the extent of agreement or disagreement with the conclusion reached by Karl Marx, we must note that capitalism was not a decisive factor in the emergence of anti-Semitism or anti-Semitism. Before, specifically in countries where capitalism was developing rapidly, as was the case in Britain, Belgium, and within France as well. In these countries, hostility to the Jews did not witness a significant presence, unlike other European countries, especially in eastern Europe, that is, in the areas of Jewish settlement, and these are the areas in which the Jewish religious institutions, specifically (the authority of the rabbis), played the role of the agent of the feudal systems and the systems of serfdom, i.e. an agent The authority of the barons and nobles, who had a negative attitude towards the ongoing transformations as undermining their influence and absolute powers. And if Karl Marx had proposed a solution to the Jewish question based on eliminating the god of their money, i.e. capitalism, then I claim that Zionism since its inception has replaced its capitalist idol of worship with a new idol of worship which is anti-Semitism.
Returning to the historical context, in which anti-Semitism appeared, it is known that the social role played by the authority of the rabbis and its civil extensions in many European countries, especially those that embraced large Jewish communities, was in clear contradiction with those social groups, which were shackled by the shackles of the baronial authorities. And the nobles in the countries whose sphere of power was creeping up on the capitalist development and gradually but steadily undermining it. This process, with its accompanying liberation of the masses of peasants and slave serfs, not only from the authority of the feudal barons and nobles, but also from the domination of their agents, had an effect on the growth of hostility against the agents, who were burdening them with taxes, robbing them of their rights, deepening their crises, and contributing to the deterioration of their living conditions. This is a fact that a fair observer cannot ignore, especially in the history of the countries, in which Jewish settlement spread in eastern Europe and western Russia, where Jewish groups lived in semi-closed areas, including cities and villages, or they constituted the largest proportion of the population. In this context, anti-Semitism appeared in popular circles as a reaction to the transformations taking place in those societies.
In this historical context, Zionism also emerged as an expression of a pseudo-reactionary nationalism working to solve the Jewish question in a direction opposite to the Jewish Enlightenment movement, which paved its way and produced advanced Jewish literature specifically in the Yiddish language, paving the way for a movement of integration into its societies. The orientation towards integration did not appeal to the Zionist movement, which identified itself with the national movements in the emerging capitalist countries and proceeded in parallel with them, not only focusing on racial purity, but also on the superiority that would allow it to expand abroad at the expense of the peoples targeted by colonialism in the context of the process of capitalist development. . The political and civil rights carried by the bourgeois revolutions in Europe did not mean much to the Zionist movement and its position on resolving the Jewish question. The nobles are in the regimes that the capitalist development came to refer to a past that has no return.
Let us go back a little to the recent history, not the distant one, in an attempt to find out the policy of the Zionist movement, which saw in integration its main enemy, a policy that used hostility to Jews or anti-Semitism as a tool of control over the Jewish masses to prevent the process of integration. The emergence of anti-Semitism, as well as the Zionist movement, dealt a severe blow to the Jewish Enlightenment movement and the integration movement. The Jews of the Austrian Empire gained complete equality at the end of the 1860s, and so was the case in many German provinces, with the exception of Prussia, which waited until von Bismarck's rise to power. Since that time, European societies began to witness an intense activity of the Zionist movement, an activity that had a role as a brake on the merger movement and a role in subjugating the colonial countries and searching for a position for them in the struggle over colonies between the colonial countries.
At that time, Theodore Herzl oscillated between Palestine and Uganda or other areas targeted by colonialism, but for considerations related to the religious heritage based on myths on the one hand and the status of the Ottoman Empire and the colonial countries’ ambitions in their Arab states. In 1912, he called for the establishment of two Jewish states, the first in Palestine with its limited resources, and the second in Angola, with its many resources.
Both leaders Herzl and Jabotinsky rode the wave of anti-Semitism as a springboard towards achieving the goal and did not find any embarrassment at all to achieve their goal by knocking on the doors of the anti-Semites. When he was Minister of the Interior in the government of Tsar Nicholas II, while the second, that is, Jabotinsky, went to make an agreement with Simon Petliura, the Ukrainian leader, whose forces committed a massacre that killed one hundred thousand Jews in 1918.
As for the most shocking example, prominent leaders in the Zionist movement celebrated the victory of Nazism over liberalism, according to their expression, as was the case of Dr. Joachim Prince, the Jewish rabbi, who rose in the ranks of the World Jewish Congress to become vice president and who was close to Golda Meir and became one of the Prominent leaders in the global Zionist movement. Dr. Joachim Prince sided with the wave of racial supremacy on the Nazi way and wrote a book in German entitled (We are the Jews) in which he said: What the German revolution means to the German nation (Adolf Hitler's revolution) will become clear in the end to those who made it and painted its image. Liberalism has lost its fortunes. Liberalism is the formula for political life that helped the Jews to integrate the Jews. This liberalism is now being defeated.
Not far from these, we find increasing numbers of leaders of the Zionist movement and the State of Israel practically following the same path, bypassing the demonic feature of the tendency of ethnic superiority, and subjugating it, each in his own way, to serve their goals, starting with Ben-Gurion, passing through Benjamin Netanyahu, and ending with even Beir Lapid. Ben-Gurion was an admirer of the anti-Semitic French extreme right, who clung to French Algeria, hated the Jews in France and welcomed them in Palestine, and Netanyahu, who had long flirted with the extreme right in Europe and specialized in transforming all criticism of the occupation into a new, caricatured edition of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He still admires US President Donald Trump, who derives support from white supremacist groups and whose speeches are not devoid of hostile anti-Semitic language, while Yair Lapid disguises himself as a lamb, follows in his father's footsteps in hating the Haredim and Arabs and asserts in a speech he delivered at the Global Anti-Semitism Forum. Anti-Semites believe that the anti-Semites mainly oppose Israel's policy in the Gaza Strip in a ridiculous approach that has no purpose other than to silence the voices of all those who criticize the policy of the Israeli rulers.

They are trying in Israel to offend Abu Mazen by distorting his statements!!
At these times, the circle of Israeli distortions of the statements of President Abu Mazen and him personally is widening. He said in Germany that the Holocaust against the Jews is one of the most heinous crimes in the modern era, and he added that Israel has been committing several massacres for decades against our Palestinian people, and here they began to philosophize and provide false explanations. Abu Mazen denied the Holocaust and tried to ignore it.
No one can ignore the Holocaust recorded by history, in which thousands of the Jewish people or even millions of them were killed, but this fact cannot negate what the Jewish groups did before the establishment of Israel and what Israel itself does after declaring its independence in terms of massacres against groups, cities and villages. Palestinian, and this is what President Abu Mazen tried to refer to and clarify, and he confirmed more than once his condemnation of the Holocaust and those who carried it out, his standing by the families of the victims, and his strong feeling for their tragedy.
The attempt of the Israeli forces, and the extremist ones in particular, to ignore the suffering that befell our people, the victims, the destroyed villages, and the thousands who were displaced, is a failure and will not change anything from the facts of history. We will always stand against political crime, whatever its reasons or justifications, and we will always remain against killing Innocent people, especially children, we strongly condemn those who do so.
We, as Abu Mazen said, are against the Holocaust committed by the Nazis against the Jews, and against any crimes against any people, and our people certainly come first.
The massacre of Jabalia children and dozens of others..!!
The Israeli army admitted that its forces were behind the bombing of the Al-Falluja cemetery in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, which led to the death of dozens, including five children, including four from the Najm family. The Israeli newspaper "Haaretz" had reported internal reviews of senior Israeli officers, during which they confirmed that it was a drone that killed these children.
What adds to the tragedy is the pain and sadness of the murdered child, Jamil Najm, at the age of four, who is the only child of his parents and has four sisters. His mother testifies that her son was killed in cold blood when he was a small child who had no fault of his own. He was happy and wanted to go to a kindergarten to learn, but they stole his childhood.
And his mother tells with tears in her eyes the story of his short life and his aspirations for life and the future, and she says that she is unable to describe the situation in which she is and reached it.
In addition to these, there are two children in Al-Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem. They are 8-year-old Muhammad Uday Abu Katifa, and next to him is another bed for 11-year-old Nayef Khaled Al-Oudat. They are suffering greatly and are undergoing intensive care. They are from Gaza, far from their families.
The families' decision to go to international courts to issue a decision to punish the occupation, which admitted to killing them, may not lead to a result, but it is a moral decision that exposes Israeli practices at the international level.

London seeks to calm the turbulent markets against the backdrop of the draft budget
London - (AFP) - The British government and the central bank announced new measures Monday to try to reassure investors who were apprehensive about last month's budget proposal, which included a large tax cut, amid market turmoil.
In the face of repeated appeals to economists and parliamentarians, Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarting brought the expected date for publishing budget estimates to October 31 instead of November 23.
In parallel, he will publish his medium-term fiscal plan to ensure that Britain's public finances remain on track.
For its part, the British Central Bank "Bank of England" announced new measures to ease pressures on liquidity, which were recorded after the shock caused by the announcement of a budget that includes a large tax cut.
However, it seems that investors were not reassured, as the yields on British government bonds due after 30 years, which rose to 5.14 percent after the presentation of the draft budget, reached 4.54 percent, reflecting fear of high indebtedness.
"The financial problems have not been resolved," said Ken Watert, director of European economics at S&P Global Market Intelligence, despite measures by the finance ministry and central bank.
And he stressed that the approximation of the date for publishing the estimates is "welcome", but it is likely that the budget will include a "big gap" in terms of funding, noting that the Central Bank's interventions in this context are like "putting a bandage on the wound without healing it."
On September 23, the government unveiled a series of budgetary measures that combine major aid in energy bills and tax cuts targeting the less affluent classes, but their huge cost caused turmoil in financial markets.

When democracy becomes a condition for national liberation
Written by: Jamal Zaqout
The failure of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the entire national movement to define the stage of the emergence of the national authority as a new stage in which the tasks of national liberation overlapped with the tasks of democratic construction to an inseparable degree, which constituted a shift in the nature of the structural and complex crisis of the fragile political system, for which we are all paying the price today. This failure not only led to the inability of the authority and its social forces throughout its first decade to crystallize a philosophy of governance that accurately and tightly links the two overlapping phases as Siamese twins, but also failed to define the nature of the tools capable of pursuing their tasks, including the separation between the authority and the organization. . The behavior of the opposition was also the other side of the coin of failure, when it contented itself with considering that the establishment of the authority itself represented a departure from the national camp, and refused to accept its unity, and what it required of a comprehensive national contribution to the consolidation of its social contract and its security doctrine according to the nature of the stage, thus opening, with great regret, The door to internal conflict is wide open, which is deepening to this day in its worst forms of division.
If we look at the content of the tasks of national liberation in the stage of democratic building of the institutions of power, and the prevailing belief at the time that this process is merely a negotiating process that will automatically lead to ending the occupation, this policy has put our entire national destiny hostage to the occupation government’s veto, which is unprecedentedly deep in the scene of the Israeli elections. What is taking place today between two camps, both of which refuse to recognize the Palestinians' right to self-determination. The same applies to the extent to which the structure of the institutions of power was marred by mismanagement, corruption, and the scarcity of adopting the principle of the right person in the right place. The Great Intifada, from its role and its ability to contribute to the national liberation process as part of the strategy to transfer the entire mass movement, which has always played a central role in establishing the national movement and the Liberation Organization, and in the course of the national struggle since the Nakba, to retirement, which made the national movement lose its most important weapon. What was done by this wide network in preserving the unity of the societal fabric and the national cause of our people, and caused great damage that seems impossible to restore in the context of the reality of the current political system, which is divided against itself.
In the institutions of government, and regardless of the nature of the regimes themselves, there are two “books” for the exercise of power. The context of the nature of the stage and the philosophy of governance, including the action plan and the core issues that must be undertaken, and the most qualified and experienced consultants are attracted to contribute to its crystallization and implementation mechanisms, and those who work behind the scenes, to crystallize priorities, mobilize resources, and ways of accurate and successful implementation of these issues.
Since the presidential era in which we live and the incursion of the division of the political system, it seems that the “second book” that includes the issues that we have to deal with has been lost or torn. That is with the first book, and bringing the category of loyalists regardless of their competence and experience, and the list of prohibitions included in the first book became priorities for work, despite the nature of the dangerous stage we live in and its increasing complexities, and the wisdom and deliberation it requires. In the context of this, there were dozens of laws and decisions that affected broad sectors of society and the social forces of the Authority itself, especially the administrative and financial decisions, “dismissal and collective referrals for retirement, and the invention of the so-called financial retirement for the Authority’s employees in the Gaza Strip,” and the reluctance to take fundamental steps to contain the division. By presenting a national plan that Hamas cannot reject, and if it rejects it, it will be besieged popularly and lose. However, what has been done is the exact opposite of that, to the extent that the divisive Hamas almost repudiates the accusation of division, and even succeeds in attaching it to power, and the most dangerous thing is the conviction of the majority of the people in this matter.
The division is the home of the disease and its continuation wraps the neck of the ruling regime on both sides of the scene, and turns it into an authoritarian, exclusionary rule with full specifications. In Gaza, the "rule of the divine congregation" extends and is unique to power and decision, and here is the rule of the individual who does not see a need for the institution, which the president himself, on the eve of his assumption of power, considered it his highest priority, except that this promise evaporated, until this form of government became dominated by a narrow cell. Of the advisors, it has no possibilities of ruling other than implementing the issues of the book of prohibitions, and what this generates in terms of eroding and undermining what remains of the authority’s status and its social incubator, including the Fatahists among them. In this context, the decision was made to dissolve the Legislative Council and insist on not holding elections, which limits the battle to the so-called succession between a group of aspirants behind the back of the people and without their will. A number of laws were issued by decisions that affected the independence and prestige of the judiciary and its status, especially in The absence of the legislative authority remained, and finally the organic linking of the judicial institution to the head of the executive authority, and the final overthrow of the principle of separation of powers, not their monopoly in one hand. This raises a strategic question about the nature of the state whose people made the greatest sacrifices to win its independence. Is only Israel’s denial of our right to self-determination the only obstacle that prevents the embodiment of this state on the ground, or is it, in addition to this Israeli aggression against our people’s right to freedom and sovereignty, the assault on the pillars of the structure of a unified national democratic political system based on the separation of powers and the preservation of political pluralism? Intellectual, freedom of opinion and expression, and other principles that our people have previously enshrined in the course of their long and complex national struggle, have become, unfortunately, the second arm of the guillotine to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, which, in addition to its cultural and historical extension in this country, is a qualitative addition to civilization and human progress. At the same time, it is able to attract the support of the free people and the peoples of the world in the face of the growing racism to the point of fascism that brings Kahane's group "Ben Gvir and Smotrich" to the heart of the Hebrew state and its political system, as an expression of its historical predicament.
The retraction of some laws of the judiciary in the face of a strike and the gift of lawyers, as well as the retraction of the rehearsal for the dissolution of the Doctors’ Syndicate on the pretext of its “Palestinization”, which seemed to have been a prelude to the dissolution and re-establishment of the various professional syndicates, had it not been for the professional disobedience of the doctors and the fairness of their union battle, confirming the tyranny of the priority of engineering the regime according to The narrow dimensions of the ruling cell, regardless of any consideration, including the safety of society, the extent of the cohesion of its structure and national fabric, and the preservation of its gains, yet they also clearly confirm that the battle for the defense of civil and social rights has become wide open, and that syndicate and professional success in it is possible as long as it is It is fair and stems from adhering to the peaceful, democratic option as a model for change, and that this social democratic battle needs to redefine itself as an integral part of the battle for national destiny, and the importance of its integration with waves of national donations rising from the heart of occupied Jerusalem and from the poor neighborhoods of cities, towns and camps, and on a larger scale. This includes correcting the course of the stage, its national democratic character, and its urgent need to organize its mass and popular support within the framework of the tasks of rebuilding the national movement. Patriotism for the Palestinian people in all places of their presence, and through inclusive national institutions that rehabilitate the Palestine Liberation Organization as a national front and a broad coalition that leads the tasks of national liberation, and for the institutions of the Authority as a basic lever for national steadfastness.

The US Civil Aviation Authority announces that the air traffic disruption ten days ago was caused by human error
New York - (AFP) - The US Civil Aviation Authority confirmed Thursday that the technical failure that forced it to temporarily suspend all domestic flights in the United States on January 11 was caused by a contractor mistakenly deleting files.
The authority previously reported that a database file corruption caused the malfunction and led to the delay and cancellation of thousands of boot operations on January 11.
The authority said Thursday that an initial report showed that one of the subcontractors "inadvertently erased files while working on synchronization between the main database and the backup database."
The investigation continues, but the authority confirms that it has not found any evidence linking the incident to a planned act or cyberattack.
The US Civil Aviation Authority is taking measures to ensure that the information system in question, which aims to warn flight crew members of potential dangers on the ground or in the air in real time, is "more robust".
US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said on January 11 that he had asked the US Civil Aviation Authority to identify the causes of the problem and explain why the alternative systems that were supposed to work did not work in the event of problems.

A few meters away from the World Cup 2022, which Qatar is preparing to receive as the first Arab country to enjoy this great honor, a climate of pride and satisfaction prevails in the Arab street, where millions of Arabs throughout the great Arab world believe that Qatar is able to produce a World Cup painting with the most brilliant colors, based on what it provided. Huge preparations in terms of infrastructure and the construction of modern stadiums with amazing designs that won the approval of the global international system, led by the International Federation of Football, which expressed its conviction that the Arab Gulf World Cup in Qatar will be the most successful compared to previous world championships …
Among the most prominent Arab countries that point their compass towards Qatar is proud of this great achievement and expresses its great happiness. There is no doubt that it is Palestine that will try through this World Cup to return the favor to Qatar, the political, social and economic country that has always stood with the Palestinian people for many years and provided them with all forms Support, especially support for the Gaza Strip, which has been suffering for many years from the suffocating Israeli blockade, just as Qatar is one of the most Arab and Gulf countries that opened great prospects for the Palestinians in many fields …
In response to the Qatari initiatives, a friendly match was organized in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday the 15th of November, the day of the celebration of the Palestinian Independence Day, in one of the stadiums in Khan Yunis, under the supervision of the Wafaa Al-Mohsenin Charitable Foundation (non-governmental). The fans in the stadium raised Qatari flags, and the organizers hung a large banner that read, “I am Palestinian and I support Qatar.

Qatari media said that after Qatar refused to cooperate with Israeli telecommunications companies, Israel complied with Qatar’s orders and agreed to allow the Palestinians to travel to attend the 2022 Qatar World Cup, and from Lod Airport specifically, from which they are traveling for the first time, if it wanted its fans to reach Qatar.
An international sporting event that is the largest in the history of the Arab world. Its essence and depth will be Palestinian, with a distinguished presence for the first time in the history of the World Cup, in a Qatari dress based on all the historical and heritage details in a story that does not stop at the borders of football, as it contains many important strategic breaks that may be reflected in the overall developments of the Palestinian cause. Which remains present on every occasion and imposes an important Palestinian imprint on it...
