Washington (AFP) - Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut 's Twitter account has been reactivated after it was banned from the platform for two years for violating the social media site's policy against hate speech.

Thus, the 35-year-old Indian actress joins thousands of people who, after billionaire Elon Musk acquired the platform last October, were able to return to Twitter after they were prevented from using their accounts, including former US President Donald Trump.

"Hello everyone, it's good to be back on stage," Ranaut tweeted on Tuesday, before launching a series of tweets criticizing the Indian film industry as "money obsessed."

The actress, who won two awards for her roles in “Queen” in 2014 and “Tanno Weds Manu Returns” in 2015, has raised controversy several times.

In May 2021, she was banned from using her Twitter account after calling Mamata Banerjee, an opposition figure to Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi for whom the actress shows great support, a "monster".

Kangana Ranaut had previously also attacked singer Rihanna after the latter tweeted about massive protests launched by farmers in India, describing the pop star as "idiots" and farmers as "terrorists".

Berlin, (AFP) - The German Foreign Ministry on Thursday condemned the bombing that claimed the lives of nine civilians in a tourist resort in northern Iraq , and held Baghdad and Ankara responsible for it, calling for an emergency investigation into the circumstances and responsibilities for this operation.

"Attacks on civilians are totally unacceptable, and their protection must be an absolute priority in all circumstances," the German Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

She added that Germany "attaches the utmost importance to respecting the sovereignty of the Iraqi state and respecting international law."

Nine civilians, including children, were killed and 23 wounded on Wednesday in northern Iraq in a bombing that Baghdad held Ankara responsible for, prompting Iraq to summon the Chargé d'Affairs in Ankara and demand the withdrawal of Turkish forces from its territory.

Ankara, for its part, denied responsibility for the attack, accusing the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) of being responsible for it, an organization that Turkey and its Western allies classify as "terrorist" and that has been waging an insurgency against it since 1984.

Ankara, which has established military bases in northern Iraq for 25 years, has repeatedly launched military operations against the PKK rebels, which has training camps and bases in the region.

Turkish military operations in northern Iraq exacerbate pressure on relations between Ankara and the Baghdad government, which accuses Turkey of violating its territorial sovereignty, even though the two countries are important trade partners.

For its part, the Turkish Foreign Ministry considered that "such attacks" are carried out by "terrorist organizations," calling in the statement on Iraq "not to make advertisements under the influence of terrorist propaganda."

Bethlehem - "Jerusalem" dot com - Today, Sunday, a 30-year-old citizen was killed and a number of other citizens were injured, as a result of a traffic accident east of Bethlehem.

The police spokesman, Colonel Louay Irzeigat, stated that a 34-year-old resident of Halhul, north of Hebron, was killed and a number of citizens were injured in a traffic accident involving three vehicles on Za'tara Road, east of Bethlehem.

Traffic police accident experts have launched an investigation into the accident.

Tehran - (AFP) - The continuous torrential rains and floods in various parts of Iran for more than a week have killed more than 80 people, while about 30 are still missing, according to the official media, Saturday.

And the Secretary-General of the Red Crescent Society, Yaqoub Soleimani, stated that since the beginning of the month of Mordad according to the solar Hijri calendar (July 23), "59 people have been killed and 30 are still missing as a result of the events caused by the torrential rains," according to what was reported by the "IRNA" agency.

And on the eve of the start of the month according to the Iranian calendar (July 22), torrential rains caused the death of at least 22 people in Fars Province (south), most of whom were spending their holiday on the banks of a river whose level rose greatly due to the rains.

Soleimani stated that torrential and flood damage was recorded in about 60 cities, 140 towns and more than 500 villages in the Islamic Republic, which has a population of nearly 83 million.

The province of Tehran was the most affected, as 35 people were killed, while the largest number of missing persons is still in the province of Mazandaran in the north of the country (20 people), according to a list prepared by the Red Crescent.

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sent his condolences to the families of the victims, calling for taking the necessary measures to repair the damage caused by the torrents and floods, according to a message posted on his website.

For his part, President Ebrahim Raisi, on Saturday, visited the Firouzkoh region, east of Tehran, which was one of the areas most affected by the effects of the heavy rains that fell on Thursday night.

Official media reported that 14 people were killed in Firuzkoh, after rains caused a rockslide.

Tapes and pictures published by Iranian media or circulated on social media showed torrential torrents in many areas, whether inside neighborhoods or on wide roads. The water swept away many cars and flooded several places with mud, and relief workers worked to search for the missing and remove the rubble using mechanical machines and hand tools.

And the Minister of Agricultural Jihad, Javad Sadati Nejad, said that preliminary estimates indicate that this sector has incurred losses of about $200 million, according to what was reported by state television.

The climate in southern and central Iran is largely dry, but these areas witnessed floods in multiple stages, the last of which began last week.

The Meteorological Organization warned of the possibility of continued rains, especially in the northern and southern governorates, during the next few days.

Widespread floods in Iran in March and April 2019 killed at least 76 people and caused damage estimated at about $2 billion.

Scientists believe that climate change increases the severity of extreme weather events, including drought, in addition to the possibility of an increase in the intensity of storms and rain.

The torrents and floods in Iran coincided with the recording of similar phenomena in a number of Arab countries in the Gulf region.

At least seven people were killed as a result of torrential rains that hit several areas in the Emirates during the past days, according to what the Ministry of Interior announced on Friday night.

Brussels - (dpa) - Diplomats told the German News Agency (dpa) this evening, Wednesday, that Hungary has demanded the introduction of other amendments to the new package of sanctions that the European Union intends to impose on Russia, as it demanded that the name of the head of the Russian Orthodox Church be deleted. Patriarch Kirill from the list of sanctions.

Hungary presented this objection during negotiations in Brussels today, Wednesday, to complete the sanctions, after the leaders of the European Union countries reached a political agreement on the package the day before yesterday, Monday, at a special summit. The European Commission proposed to include Russia's top religious official in the sanctions package, but EU leaders did not discuss this matter at their summit.

Kirill, a staunch supporter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, endorsed Putin's invasion of Ukraine in his sermons and blames NATO and the West for the war Putin ordered.

This is the latest hurdle placed by Hungary after it pressed hard against a European embargo on Russian oil, before it succeeded in securing comprehensive exemptions in order to obtain its oil imports through pipelines.

مقدمة
(نستخلص من التاريخ الدروس) كيسنجر و (لا نعترف الا بالتاريخ وعلم التاريخ ماركس. فما هي الدروس وماذا يقول التاريخ )
أولا ينبغي تبيان الفارق في زاوية النظر بين الاستعمار الذي يسعى للربح من خلال الاحتلال والهيمنة، فهو لا يسعى لإبادة الشعب المستعمرة عموما، بل كسر ارادته ونهب ثرواته ومصادرة سيارته، وبكلمه واحدة محوطته، وفي الحالة الجزائرية والجنوب افريقية والزيمبابويه والفلسطينية أضيفت سرقة ما امكن من الأرض واقتلاع ما امكن من السكان. والمقولة القديمة ما قبل أواسط القرن التاسع عشر للورد ميتفورد عبرت عن ذلك بالقول (ان العناية الإلهية اهدتنا الأرض (فلسطين) بلا شعب لشعب بلا ارض ويهود) أي الاحلالية.
ولكن ما ان يتحول الاستعمار لمشروع خاسر ويتكبد اثمانا موجعه يسارع الى الانحسار ويحزم حقائبه ويرحل.
اما الشعب الوطني او الدولة القومية التي تتعرض لغزو خارجي، فتطلعهما يتمحور حول قضية واحده (التحرر وصد الغزو) مهما بلغت التضحيات والخسائر. فمثلا كانت خسائر أمريكا مجرد 50 الف قتيل اما الخسائر الفيتنامية فناهزت 2مليون، ولكن فيتنام انتصرت. وفي الجزائر لم تتجاوز خسائر فرنسا 100 الف بينما خسائر الجزائريين 20 ضعفا وانتصرت الجزائر. وبلغ عدد القتلى في الاتحاد السوفييتي 27 مليونا وارض محروقة ل 20 الف مدينة سويت مع الأرض ، فيما خسائر المانيا لا تصل عشر ذلك وهزمت المانيا الهتلرية .
وما يسمى ” عملية الامل” منذ ثلاثة عقود في الصومال ما ان نجح كمين قبائلي بأسلحة فردية ، لسرية أمريكية مدججة بالتكنولوجيا فحصد 13جنديا ( قيل انهم قطعوا رؤوسهم ) لم تتأخر القيادة العسكرية الامريكية باتخاذ قرار الانسحاب بعد حملة انتقامية ضخمة لاستعادة الجثامين ، واخفقت ” عملية الامل”.
والانتفاض الفلسطيني في أواخر 1987 الذي استمر نحو 5 سنوات جاءت الخسائر الفلسطينية البشرية اضعاف الخسائر الإسرائيلية ( 1300 مقابل 160 ) كما تشير التقديرات ومع ذلك كانت المبادرة في ايدي الفلسطينيين واحرزوا ما احرزوا من نتائج . والعقل الاستشراقي للمستعمر لم يفهم الخصائص الفلسطينية فقطع رابين زيارته لأمريكا وصرح ( سوف انهي الاضطرابات الفلسطينية ) اذ لم يكن تعبير انتفاضة دارجاً في العقل الأمني الاحتلالي ، فلجأ لكسر الايدي واطلاق النار وفرض نظام منع التجول فتحولت جنازة كل شهيد لتحشد شعبي وزيتا يصب على نار الانتفاضة ، ومنع التجول فرصة للتزاور الاجتماعي وفنون التسلية والطعام الجماعي … وهل ثمة فارق ان دارت ” عجلة الاقتصاد” ثلاثة أيام او خمسة أيام أسبوعيا ؟ كلا ذلك ان العجلة بطيئة ويغلب عليها الاقتصاد الطبيعي والبضاعي الصغير ، اما العنوان السياسي ” الحرية والاستقلال ” فله أولوية لا يضاهيها أولوية حتى لدى اغلبية النخب ” البرجوازية “.
لقد ابدع البروفيسور ادوارد سعيد في كتابه ” الاستشراق ” وحجر الزاوية ان الشمال الاستعماري يسقط رؤيته على شعوب الجنوب التي خضعت للكولونيالية ، خلافا لما هي عليه ، وهذا ادلجة عالم النفس فرويد الذي رأى في الجنوب( متوحش ، همجي ، عنيف ، كسول ، ذكوري ونساءه جواري ) وكذا نظريات التبعية في عصر ما بعد الاستعمار ( الامبريالية ) بان الجنوب عاجز بنيويا عن التنمية وليس امامه سوى الاصغاء لنصائح الخبراء الغربيين وقروض البنك الدولي وصندوق النقد !
غير ان الصين ونسبيا الهند والبرازيل وفيتنام وقطاعات لا يستهان بها في كوبا نهضت ، وكان يمكن ان تستمر صيرورة النهوض في سوريا والعراق لولا المخططات التدميرية الخارجية ، وهذا حال مصر عبد الناصر التي أنجزت اصلاحا زراعيا ووثبة في حقل التعليم والثقافة وبناء طبقة وسطى ودرجة من قاعدة صناعية وارادة قومية متحدية للهيمنة … ويمكن سحب ذلك على فنزويلا اليوم . اما ايران فهي تمضي على كل الصعد رغم جراحها وتكالب المؤامرات لقطع سياقها …
كان مآل الاستعمار ، اجمالا ، اما الهزيمة النكراء كما حصل في مختلف القارات او الاندماج خصوصا ( جنوب افريقيا وأمريكا اللاتينية ) او إبادة معظم الشعب الأصلاني سيما في أمريكا الشمالية وأستراليا .
وفي فلسطين لم يكن ثمة اكثر من 1.15 مليون فلسطيني /ه في عام التطهير العرقي 1948، والشعب اليوم 13.7 مليون ( جهاز الإحصاء المركزي ) اكثر من نصفه من اللاجئين الذين اقتلعوا من ديارهم ومنازلهم ، وهو ينتشر في محيط عربي صديق، مهما بلغ عسف الأنظمة أحيانا ، وفي اربع جنبات الدنيا . وسواء كانت فلسطين قضية العرب الأولى او غير ذلك ، فالفلسطيني ليس وحيدا وهناك قوى تحررية وأنظمة قومية تحررية سنيده له ، وهي مستهدفة من نفس اعدائه ، وهذا جعل شعوب وبعض حكومات الإقليم وفي المقدمة الجمهورية الإسلامية في ايران وقوى وازنة في الباكستان وتركيا وسواهما تقترب من هذا المنظور إضافة لقوى وتيارات شعبية وحكومات تقدمية في ارجاء العالم بما في ذلك تيار شبابي يهودي خصوصا في أمريكا وبؤر داخل المجتمع الإسرائيلي أي ان الفلسطيني غير محاط بمياه الأطلسي والهادي لتسهل ابادته ، فهو محاط ببحر من البشر والسياسات وعنوانه الأبرز حاليا محور المقاومة .

المواجهة الكبرى التي استمرت 11 يوما
ليست الأولى ولن تكون اخر المعارك ، فالشعب لم يستسلم منذ ان تصدى وافشل مشروع الحكم الذاتي الذي اقترحته بريطانيا عام 1922، مروراً بانتفاضة البراق 1927 عرجا على تحركات 1933 وثورة 1936 التي استمرت ثلاثة أعوام والتصدي لمشروع التوطين في سيناء بعيد سنوات من النكبة .. اما المحطة الأعظم فهي مسيرة الثورة المعاصرة بما تخللها من نضالات ومعارك اكثرها قسوة حرب أيلول 1970 وحرب 1982 التي استخدمت فيها غالبية الترسانه العسكريه الاسرائيليه البرية والبحرية والجوية ( انظروا كتاب العسكرية الفلسطينية . مازن عز الدين)
وانتفاضة أواخر 1987 ومواجهات واجتياح 2000 وصولا الى أربعة حروب شنت على غزة 2008 و 2012 و2014 والمحطة العليا ايار 2021 التي لم يجف دمها بعد …والتي تزامنت مع تحرير الجنوب اللبناني منذ عقدين.
لئن كتب مفكر فرنسي ( ان لدى العرب عبقرية التاريخ فلم يندثروا رغم ما تعرضوا له في القرون الخمسة الأخيرة ) فما رأيه بشعب محدود العدد والعدة والجغرافيا ويواجه ( الحليف الاستراتيجي ) ريغن و( الخندق الامامي للمشروع الغربي ) هرتزل المدجج بالتكنولوجيا واخر قفزات الثورة التقنية بل ( لقد اكتشفت انني احارب أمريكا ) عبد الناصر
فأن يتبخر الشعب الفلسطيني مجرد وهم وان يرفع الراية البيضاء مجرد تمنيات منفصلة عن حقائق الحياة ( وانه مجرد قبائل متناحرة ، انتظروا مما سيفعلون ببعضهم ) شارون . لا يوجد الكثير من الرصيد لها ، وانكم (لا اكثر من قطيع ينقاد وراء قيادته وقد وقعنا معها ) احد ضباط التحقيق ولكن غالبية القوى والقيادات رفضت ” مبادئ أوسلو ” وفي لحظة قال الكل الفلسطيني (لا لصفقة القرن وضم القدس ، بل ومن القدس تدحرجت هبة امتدت في عموم الوطن .
في استطلاع عام 1988 ايد 97% م. ت. ف ، وبالنظر لما أصابها وأصبحت عليه خياراتها بعد أوسلو تراجع تأييدها الى 50-60% ولم يكن ثمة حماس وجهاد قبل عقود اما في هذه الاثناء فهما بوزن فصائل م. ت. ف حسب غيراستطلاع في السنوات الأخيرة . فالخارطة السياسية تتجدد في المنعطفات الكبرى.
هزيمة حزيران عام 1967 وولادة الفصائلية الفدائية ، والانتفاضة الكبرى في أواخر الثمانينات ومرحلة أوسلو وولادة وصعود الإسلام السياسي المقاوم .
ومواجهة 2011 سيكون لها اسقاطات عديدة بما فيها على الخارطة السياسية الفلسطينية وحجوم القوى .
اذكر انني كتبت مقالة في الشهر الماضي عنوانها (خلافا لما يزعمه اليائسون والمحبطون ) استغرب احدهم منطق المقالة ( كل السياقات تفضي الى عكس ما كتبت ) حسب رايه . واشتعلت وثبة أيار جوابا . فالتاريخ كما يراه مهدي عامل في شرحة لابن خلدون ( يتشكل تحت السطح ويتمظهر فوق السطح )
اللوحة دائما مركبة ومتناقضة ، لا اسود فقط ولا ابيض فقط، وهناك أيضا الوان أخرى ، وهذا هو الحال دائما ، وقد ينمو اللون الأبيض او الأسود ، فهما في حالة تناقضية لخصها هيجل أ+ب في وحدة وتناقض في الماهية وهذه بدورها في حالة تناقضية مع الماهية النقيضة خارجها . وهذه اكبر حقيقة في الكون ، تناقض الأشياء وترابطها .
الى غزة و48 والضفة الفلسطينية والشتات وتميزت بقدرتها على تجنيد فاعليات شعبية في عواصم وبلدات كثيرة عربية واجنبية .
كان الفلسطيني يفخر بانتفاضة الحجارة والزجاجات الحارقة والتحشدات كما بالكاتيوشا من جنوب لبنان واللباس المرقط والدوريات الفدائية …. اما هذه المرة فللصاروخ كانت الكلمة العليا، الاف الصواريخ التي ذهبت لمسافات بعيدة واصابت العمق والمركز ونقاط استراتيجية مسنوداً بنهوض شعبي عارم . وبذلك توحدت الساحات الفلسطينية وسقطت الديناميات التفكيكية لأوسلو والاختزالية للخارطة والحقوق والديمغرافيا وعاد الفكر السياسي الى المربع الأول .
كما سقطت مقولة ( اذا ذهبت للحرب مع العرب تسلح بالورود ) وسقط معها ( يمكننا التطبيع مع العرب دون الفلسطينيين ) و( اين هو الشعب الفلسطيني ) و( نستغرب ان تلقوا الحجارة علينا بينما نؤمن لكم عملا ودخلا ) و( ان العربي يخضع للقوة ) و( ليس لديكم قضية تحاربون من اجلها ) و( انتم تستعذبون ان نكون اسياداً عليكم ) و( اننا نعاملكم افضل مما يعاملكم العرب ) وبذلك انتقل الفلسطيني من بكائية المظلوم الى إرادة القول والفعل المسنودان بالحق والحقوق والساعي للحرية والعدالة والارتقاء الى مستوى السياسة ( انها الصراع القومي والطبقي) لينين . وليس مجرد النواح ومعاتبة الزمن . وبذلك ترجم عمليا كلمات درويش التي غنتها الفنانة الاستثنائية ماجدة الرومي ( ان سقطت قربك فالتقطني واضرب عدوك بي ، فانت الان حر وحر) . وعادت فلسطين الى المشهد العالمي وتوهجت كعروس في ليلة زفافها ، حتى ان الكثير من أصحاب الرأي في العالم لم يفهموا لماذا يقصف جيش فتاك بأسلحة نووية الأبراج والاحياء المدنية الفلسطينية ويطلق الرصاص على تظاهرات سلمية .
والفلسطيني الذي نخرته الفئوية والانقسامات والعشائرية واخترقت صفوفه اليأسية والتذرير واللهم النفسي واللهاث وراء المكسب الشخصي انما حمل بندقيته ووضع روحه على كفه .
انه التراكيم والترابط ، هناك من راكم على امتداد سنوات وهناك من رفض الخيبات ، وهناك أجيال لم تختبرها الازمات ، كلهم صنعوا سمفونية الصمود والانتصار . هذا ما تلهج به الألسن فانتعشت المعنويات وطافت الاحتفالات في كل مكان .
منذ الطفولة سمعنا ان الثورة هي فعل المستحيل ، وهكذا كان ، سواء اعتبرنا النصر إرادة سماوية او إرادة إنسانية او كلاهما معا .
التحولات تفضي لحل جذري او محرقة تشعل النار في السهل كله
د. احمد قطامش القسم الثاني
فخاخ في الطريق
ترددت كلمات الدكتور حبش غير مرة ( يوحدنا القتال وتفرقنا التسويات ) فماذا ينتظر فلسطين في مقبلات الشهور بغية احتواء وافراغ الانتصار وتبديد حصاد الوثبة الوطنية ؟
أولا : لن تكتفي حكومة تل ابيب بالقول والتصميم على القول ( انها انتصرت) وخطاب نتنياهو نموذج على ذلك، ليس بهدف معنوي فقط بل وابعد من ذلك لهدف سياسي . فهي لن تتراجع عن اقتحامات الأقصى ولن تلغي مخطط اقتلاع عوائل من الشيخ جراح وبطن الهوى في سلوان ولن تتراجع عن التوسع الاستيطاني الاستعماري وتشديد إجراءات البطش ضد الفلسطينيين سواء في القدس او الضفة او 48 الى درجة ان يهدد وزير الجيش غانتس قادة حماس والجهاد وهو يعلم ما قاد اليه اغتيال الجعبري وأبو العطا ..
أما ان ترتفع أصوات إعلامية وسياسية إسرائيلية تنتقد الأداء العسكري والسياسي فهي لا تنطلق من موقع الاعتراف بالوجع الفلسطيني بل طلبا لمزيد من الوجع ، الا لماما كالتظاهرة ضد اقتلاع عوائل الشيخ جراح وهذا التطرف ربما ينطوي جزئيا على مقولة نابليون ( الهزيمة يتيمة والنصر له مئة اب)
وسواء عاد نتنياهو لرئاسة الحكومة او افلح لبيد في تشكيل الحكومة فكلاهما سوف يسعيان لإعادة الاعتبار لقوة الردع الاسرائيلية التي تاكلت.
وثمة مأزق هنا ، فسلاح الجو لا يحسم معركة كما يقول الخبراء ، واجتياح جنوب لبنان اخفق، وثمة تردد باجتياح قطاع غزة او مساحات منه بالنظر الى الثمن المتوقع … وعليه يبقى السؤال مفتوحا .
ثانيا : ان تبادر الإدارة الامريكية بمسعى تسووي جديد عنوانه ( تحشيد جهد ) مدعوم من عواصم عربية واجنبية ( لاستئناف المفاوضات الفلسطينية – الإسرائيلية ) المقطوعة منذ سنين ، وهي لا تطمح لحل ( صراع عمره مئة عام ) بل انجاز ( خطوات ) في ( طريق حل الدولتين ) دون ان تلتزم بإلغاء قرار ضم القدس الشرقية او نقل السفارة الامريكية او موقف حازم ( لوقف الاستيطان ) او الإعلان الصريح عن الحدود المتخيلة ( للدولة الفلسطينية )
وهذا يكفل لها في حال تساوق فريق فلسطيني وازن شق الوحدة الفلسطينية التي لولاها لما حصدت ما حصدت جولة أيار، وبالتالي عزل فلسطيني 48 عن شعبهم وبث الخذلان في صفوفهم كما نتج عن اتفاق أوسلو الذي تجاهلهم وأول الرقص حنجلة اذ اعتقلت السلطات الإسرائيلية حتى اللحظة اكثر من 2000 على خلفية مشاركتهم في مناشطات تكرس هويتهم وتؤكد انتماءهم الوطني .
ثالثا : محاولة استدراج حماس من قبل أوروبا لقاء حزمة من المغريات كرفع اسمها من قائمة الإرهاب وإعادة اعمار غزة وفتات من هنا وهناك ، كل ذلك لثلم نصلها وابعادها عن محور المقاومة . وهذا من المستبعد ان ينجح في ظل قيادتها الحالية التي تعمدت في السجون وعديد من رموزها اكتووا بشهادة أبنائهم وزوجاتهم … وبوابات طهران المفتوحة لهم وعلى الاغلب ان تفتح بوابات دمشق أيضا .
إلام تقود سياسة التصعيد الإسرائيلية ؟
بات جليا ان محاصرة غزة وتجويعها لم يمنعا تعظيم وتطوير إمكانات فصائل المقاومة ـ فأين كانت هذه الفصائل وأين أصبحت بون شاسع بما في ذلك وحدة الأداة والأداء والقرار والمبادرة وتفادي المشهدية والكثير من الاخلالات . ومحاولة فرض ” صفقة القرن ” دفعت القيادات الفلسطينية الأشد براغماتية واعتدالا للتمرد وقول لا . وفي قلاع الاسر كلما تشددت مصلحة السجون دفعت الاسرى للإضراب عن الطعام وإعلان العصيان فهم حاليا ستة الاف من اصل مليون خبروا تجربة السجن والاعتقال ولهم الكثير من الثقل.
ليس محط نقاش تفوق الترسانة العسكرية الإسرائيلية ، فهي اقوى بما لا يقاس من حزب الله وفصائل غزة وبوسعها ان شاءت اطلاق مئات الطائرات لقتل مئات الاف المدنيين خلال ساعة . ولكن ماذا تربح من ذلك ؟ فالتفوق لا ينتصر دائما . والانسحاب الإسرائيلي من الجنوب اللبناني دون قيد او شرط عام 2000 وحرب 2006 وايار 2021، ومن قبل هزيمة أمريكا في فيتنام وأفغانستان والعراق نماذج ، ويمكن استدعاء كلمات كسينجر ( اذا اندلعت حربا بين طرفين فاذا لم ينتصر الأقوى فهو مهزوم ) فما بالكم لو اتحدت الجبهة اللبنانية والجبهة الفلسطينية في حرب واحدة ؟!
ومربط الفرس ليس هذا بل في التحولات العالمية والإقليمية ، وما يهمنا في هذا المكان هو ما اصبح عليه محور المقاومة الذي يضم دولا وحركات وإمكانات سمحت له بمنع سقوط الحلقة اليمنية او تقسيم سوريا وسقوطها التي كانت متراس القتال ضد مؤامره دوليه وإرهاب عالمي، ومن قبل اصطف وراء حزب الله وانشأ قوة حاسمة في العراق .ودعم فلسطين. بالمال والسلاح. وهو يعلن صراحة ( لقد انتصرت وسوف اعيد ترتيب الإقليم ) بما في ذلك ( طرد الوجود الأمريكي من غرب اسيا )
أمريكا ليست قدراً لا راد له ، وان كانت القوة الأولى على غير صعيد ومستوى ، فنفوذها العالمي والإقليمي في عد تنازلي وكان للازمة الاقتصادية 2008 وجائحة كورونا وصعود التنين الصيني ونجاحات الدبلوماسية الروسية … وعدم انصياع الإرادة القومية لإملاءاتها في غير قارة وبلد اثرها الدراماتيكي والتاريخي .
الإقليم مرجل يغلي ، وما لم يعثر على مقاربات جديدة تطفئ جذوة الصراعات فهو ذاهب لحروب طاحنة تطير فيها عروش وتندثر دول وفلسطين مربع لا يمكن القفز عنه فهي بوابة مربحة لمن يعبرها ويطوي صفحة التراجيديا الفلسطينية التي طالت واستطالت .
و قد اقترحت م. ت . ف في سنواتها الأولى إقامة دولة ديموقراطية في عموم فلسطين دون تمييز ديني ، وأضافت فصائل اليسار او قومي وعرقي وجنسوي .
وايران اليوم ، ومنذ الرئيس الأسبق خاتمي ، تقترح ( اجراء استفتاء عام لكافة المواطنين ) .
فماذا لدى العقل القيادي الإسرائيلي ؟ فالعجرفة وانكار حقوق الاخرين لا يقودان الا الى محرقة ، والاستفراد بالفلسطيني او رشوته ببعض البقع دون سيادة او كرامة تقادم عليهما الزمن .

Written by: Sohail Kiwan
A young American of Lebanese origin, according to American sources, stabbed the novelist, Salman Rushdie, during a press conference at a public publicity party for the writer in New York.

Salman Rushdie was taken to the hospital for intensive treatment, possibly losing an eye.

It is likely that the twenty-three-year-old who stabbed him did this by a personal decision and under the influence of the incitement to which the writer was subjected from various Islamic currents, the most prominent of which was the fatwa of Ayatollah Khomeini, who shed his blood three decades ago, and announced a reward of three million dollars for whoever kills him.

However, this fatwa had been canceled, and Rushdie had denied that he had intended in his book Satanic Verses the personality of the Messenger Muhammad (PBUH).

The novel does not have an Arabic translation, so I tried to read it in Hebrew years ago, but I could not, as it is very boring. The discussion here is about the principle of freedom of expression and creativity!

First, any creative work must avoid touching the feelings of the masses belonging to any faith, and in my opinion, the creator can communicate his idea, whatever its dimensions, without hurting the feelings and beliefs of others.

Freedom of expression does not mean indifference to the feelings of millions of people, and whoever decides to be blatantly provoked is like someone who strips off his clothes in the public street under the pretext of personal freedom.

In my humble opinion, Salman Rushdie miscalculated in the way his novel The Satanic Verses was formulated, and even in its provocative title, and it seems to me that he took this risk into account, and the favor of fame outweighed him! But he certainly did not expect death fatwas issued by a leader of millions like Ayatollah Khomeini.

Is the creator supposed to take these caveats into account?

I believe that there are writers and thinkers much greater than Salman Rushdie, who discussed beliefs, including Islam, the crucifixion of Christ, the Jewish Torah, and others, in a deeper way, but with prudence and without provocations, such as Naguib Mahfouz in the novel “The Children of Our Alley,” who was also subjected to an assassination attempt, but he was not a provocateur to the masses. He continued to roam freely in the Cairo markets, the goal being to communicate an idea, not to provoke the masses.

On the other hand, attacking a writer, thinker, or artist is a fundamentally unacceptable act, and it has no justification!

In my humble opinion, the Islamic nation and its faith are greater than the provocations of a writer, artist, painter, or politician who attacks it, and its thinkers, writers, and preachers can respond “in the best way” to any literary or artistic work in the language of dialogue and persuasion. distorts the simple truth.

When Khomeini issued his fatwa, it seemed as if a billion Muslims were facing an individual person, while the West adopted his protection and allocated a special guard for him. comprehensive, and once in the name of defending the values of freedom and democracy and always in defense of the occupation, whatever it does.

The Lebanese youth who assaulted Salman Rushdie deserves punishment like any criminal aggressor. At the same time, a true creator must avoid provoking people's feelings for any ideology, not put himself at war with the masses, avoid incitement to violence, and his duty to present his ideas aesthetically. Without degrading to provoking the dogmatic sentiments of hundreds of millions.

We do not deny the existence of takfiri groups that practice violence for the most trivial reasons, but they are a minority in a sea of tolerant masses who are able to coexist with different opinions, ideas, doctrines, sects and beliefs, and discuss or leave them without resorting to violence.

Sheikh Raed Salah again..

The Ministry of the Interior, with the signature of Minister Ayelet Shaked, issued an order banning Sheikh Raed Salah from traveling outside the country, under the pretext of his security risk. Sheikh Raed has been targeted for a long time, and he has suffered from imprisonment, travel bans, and house arrests, in addition to multiple invasions of his home, harassment and incitement against him and his family in his personal life, and Sheikh Raed's basic crime is political, not criminal, or security!

If there were evidence of security violations, they would have presented them in indictments! The truth that everyone knows is that persecuting Sheikh Raed is a systematic policy, which our people rejected and rejects, and realizes that it is part of the price paid by those who struggle against racism, the occupation, and the policy of the fait accompli.

About "Arab 48"

Written by: Awad Abdel Fattah

The latest round of aggression against the resistance in the Gaza Strip has reopened the big questions more sharply than before, and on a larger scale, and the controversy over them has not subsided. This debate bypassed, this time, the two sides of division, or the axes of resistance and surrender, to expand within the elite and the popular base supporting the resistance. The debate took a polarizing turn, which raised fear of deepening the division within the ranks of the resistance fighters, or the public of the Palestinian resistance, which has been confined to the Palestinian people for many years.

And resistance does not only mean the armed form. Popular resistance, in its political, cultural, economic, artistic and educational form, is also an effective model capable of bringing about overwhelming change.

As for the balanced pens, which dealt with the event responsibly, they disappeared from the eyes and minds of the public, especially since the moment of the event, and the event itself, detonates emotions and anger, at the expense of deliberation and rational calculations.

Most of the controversy centered on the issue of Hamas not joining the Islamic Jihad movement in confronting the treacherous Zionist aggression. Some went so far as to betray Hamas. Although no statement was issued by the "Jihad" leaders against "Hamas", rather, it was confirmed that a joint operations room would be formed.

Before entering into the crux of the matter, and addressing what was absent from the discussion and the raging debate, there are realistic and contradictory facts and opinions regarding them that the Palestinian people live and affect and are affected by. It must be recalled.

First, the Palestinian people have been living for many years with a state of division entrenched in the body of the national movement, a state of separation between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, not to mention the largest colonial fragmentation among all Palestinian communities, at home and in the diaspora.

Secondly, the failure of all attempts to restore unity, reform and restore the Palestine Liberation Organization from the Oslo team.

Third, the state of normalization between the Oslo regime and the apartheid regime deepens, the authoritarianism of the head of the authority grows, and the structure of corruption expands.

Fourth, the emergence of a Zionist regional Arab current, which went beyond diplomatic normalization, into a security alliance, to protect regimes, and has an extension within the Green Line, in the form of an alliance with the apartheid regime and Zionism.

Fifth, the marginalization of the Palestinian cause by the so-called international community.

Sixth, the victory of tyrannical regimes over their people, revealing the extent of their original crime represented in the failure to establish a free and just civil state, and the failure to liberate the Palestinian and Arab lands.

In exchange for this data; On the other hand, there are various other promising data, which represent an important paradox:

First, Palestine is witnessing a rise in awareness, frequent popular movements, and a parallel boom in knowledge production on liberation and the Palestinian cause, and in the many initiatives that seek to restore consideration for the inclusive national project, and to pave the way for the emergence of new leaders qualified to lead the project.

Secondly, the development of the structure of the resistance in a small Palestinian sector, most of whose population lives in abject poverty, and the growth of its remarkable capabilities to manage resistance to aggression for long days, under intense bombardment by the largest and most modern military arsenal in the region. Examining the model of resistance in the Gaza Strip, in a sector that has been besieged by Israel for a decade and a half, from the sea, air and land, and in which an Arab regime from the south participates in the siege, will leave any objective observer in a state of astonishment, and lead him to see this as a mythical act.

Third, Israel's inability to achieve a decisive victory in any round of aggression, despite the heavy human losses among the Palestinian people, not to mention the great material losses and the resulting severe suffering and misery.

All of this reaffirms the categorical fact that the people of Palestine will remain the difficult figure, and will continue to resist for their freedom, because they have no other choice.

These important data do not mean that there is clarity on how the Palestinian scene will develop, in the present and in the future, or that any of the forces on the Palestinian scene have certainty. Every battle opens up old and new questions, without resolving the most important thing in it, which is why does every battle end, and these enormous sacrifices, without political gains, or even an easing of the siege on the Gaza Strip, so how should that fighting spirit be invested in the vanguards of this people? How does the battle end? What is the best strategy of resistance in the current Palestinian, Arab and international climate, and in return a colonizer who is becoming increasingly brutal and brutal and rejects any of the Palestinian rights. And does the liberation of Palestine fall on the shoulders of Gaza? Isn't that a great injustice, and a grave defect that we are unable to unite the arenas and divide the burdens?

overpowering popular resistance

The current circumstance calls for reopening the question of the strategy of the popular resistance, especially after the Zionist aggressive tours of the Gaza Strip and other areas. Modern and old Palestinian experiences have proven that this strategy is the most capable of uniting the Palestinian people and activating all their energies, segments and all groups. Yes, this strategy has proven its success in creating a unified awareness of Palestine, but unfortunately it was not given the required scope once.

The last example was the May 2021 uprising, the uprising of unity and dignity. Many may forget that it was the popular movements in Damascus Gate, Al-Aqsa, and Sheikh Jarrah that moved all the Palestinian people, and pushed them to the streets, even before Hamas entered the front line.

It is true that no one can be certain that the entry of "Hamas" was the reason for stopping the comprehensive and daring popular movements, in all of historical Palestine, but that is a possible possibility, but the truth is that the unity of the people preceded the "Hamas" missiles, and this necessitated serious thinking about the need to restore Bringing popular resistance to the table of the Palestinian factions as a real strategy, especially since Israel continued to reject the demands of the resistance, despite the legendary steadfastness embodied by the resistance factions in confronting the aggression.

Of course, every people, under occupation, siege and colonialism, has the right to defend itself by all means, provided that civilians are not harmed. This is what international laws and norms recognize. However, the leadership of the peoples also chose the means that suit their circumstances in each stage of the conflict, and that produce better results with less losses. The issue is not either the sword, popular resistance, sanctification of armed struggle, or any other means.

At certain stages, it is possible to adopt popular resistance, as our Palestinian people did, at the beginning of the armed Zionist invasion, in the early twentieth century, or adopt armed struggle at a later stage, as the Palestinians did against British colonialism and armed Zionist organizations, after Britain and the Zionists rejected petitions, appeals, And peaceful movements, such as demonstrations and boycotting Zionist goods, to which the leaders of the Palestinian people resorted.

After the Zionist movement was able to occupy Palestine in 1948, the national action factions were left with nothing but the means of struggle approved by international laws, including armed action, which played an important role in crystallizing the national movement and the identity of the Palestinian people, in the sixties and seventies, before this option entered, Or the way he manages it in a real crisis.

The first Palestinian Intifada, in 1987, was a unique example of popular resistance, which was initiated by the people of Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, after they discovered that armed action was entering a phase of decline. It is true that the Israeli occupier committed murder against the uprising, but the effect of this glorious uprising internally, socially, politically and in the media on the external level in favor of the Palestinian cause was enormous.

The results of this heroic collective popular struggle, which lasted for more than four years, were not destroyed except by the mismanagement of the Palestinian leadership, which was still abroad and was looking for a quick solution to its impasse, after it left Beirut following the Zionist aggression in 1982. It became clear to us that the structure of this leadership, Which successfully launched the contemporary Palestinian revolution in 1965, reunified the Palestinian people, and crystallized the Palestinian national identity. It is not qualified to achieve any real victory. It moved from the goal of Palestinian liberation and the establishment of a single democratic state in all of Palestine, to a two-state solution, ending with Bantustan rule, and an agent for the colonizer. Diplomacy has become the only means, a diplomacy that is hesitant, distrustful, and has not achieved any real achievement.

Against the background of this catastrophic failure of the leadership of the Liberation Organization, new Palestinian forces arose, with a religious ideology, which turned into armed forces, resistance, which contributed and continues to contribute to re-injecting the conflict with the colonizer, as a struggle against a colonizer, and not a conflict between two states.

However, these forces face major challenges faced by the fading Palestinian forces, whether at the political level, such as accepting the two-state solution, sanctifying the armed struggle, at the expense of popular action, as well as establishing ambiguous and contradictory relations with Arab regimes and regional powers, which is similar to the approach of the movement. to open".

These forces, despite their struggle, did not succeed in presenting a comprehensive national project for all Palestinians, with a civic, national liberation content. They remained, despite the amendments to their program, confined to their ideological or doctrinal vision, and did not strive to address the new generations with modern liberal thinking, nor did they present An attractive example of governance.

Secondly, it did not seriously engage in formulating a popular resistance strategy. It is true that most of the factions, including the "Hamas" movement, began to talk seriously about popular resistance a few years ago, especially after the success of the popular battles in Jerusalem and its neighborhoods. In formulating a detailed strategy, and mobilizing and educating the cadres of the factions, on how to practice this model of resistance, based on the rich experiences of the Palestinian people, and the experiences of other peoples such as South Africa and others.

Gaza alone cannot liberate Palestine, nor is it required to do so. Liberation is the burden of the entire Palestinian people, but rather the burden of the Arab peoples. But the people of Palestine, by virtue of being directly under the yoke of the settler occupation, are the ones who must play the role of the spearhead. In order for it to play this role effectively, and with the least losses, the necessary conditions must be met, the most important of which is national militant unity, a clear, liberating political vision, and a long-term, effective and effective struggle strategy, the consequences of which the people can bear. At each next stage, the leaders meet and decide which means are appropriate for this or that stage.

The most effective means in this difficult stage is the popular resistance, and it must be coupled with a real belief that it is the best, and that it can achieve comprehensive liberation, and we must hope that this goal will be achieved through this strategy.

It is better for us and better for the future of this country, and coexistence based on justice and equality. And if this is not achieved in the coming years, that is, if the occupation continues its arrogance, then the new generations will find other forms of struggle that suit the new circumstance, and suit the capabilities of the Palestinian people, which will have reached a much better level. Even with the preparation and practice of the movements and factions as a strategy for popular resistance, the arena of conflict will still witness the phenomenon of the individual fedayeen, who makes his decision without guidance or instructions from any party. The harsh reality of oppression pushes many individuals to choose this path, and this is a natural product of the colonizer's brutality. About "Arab 48"

Ankara - "Jerusalem" dot com - An earthquake measuring 5.4 on the "Richter" scale struck today, Monday, the state of Hatay in southern Turkey .

And the Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) announced, in a statement on its website, that the epicenter of the tremor is the Gulf of (Iskenderun) in the Mediterranean Sea, at a depth of 39.5 km below sea level.

NEW YORK (Xinhua) -- The New York Times has attributed Sri Lanka 's economic and political collapse largely to Western debt traps.

The newspaper said in an opinion article signed by Sri Lankan writer Indrajit Samarajiva on Monday that the Western media accuses China of dragging us into debt traps, "but as far as I look, the final blame lies with the neoliberal system dominated by the West that keeps developing countries in a form of colonialism that is fueled by it." Debts".

The writer stated that despite Western allegations of unfair lending to China, only 10 to 20 percent of Sri Lanka's external debt is owed to China, noting that the majority of the debt belongs to "the United States and European financial institutions or Western allies such as Japan."

"We have died largely in a Western debt trap," Samarajiva wrote.

Washington - (AFP) - US President Joe Biden announced Monday that the United States had killed Ayman al-Zawahiri , the leader of al-Qaeda and one of the world's most wanted terrorists, who is suspected of being the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Biden said in a televised address that he gave the green light to the high-resolution raid that successfully targeted al-Zawahiri in the Afghan capital over the weekend.

"Justice has been done and this terrorist leader has been eliminated," Biden added, adding that he hopes the killing of al-Zawahiri will help the families of the victims of the September 11 attacks to "turn the page."

A senior administration official said that al-Zawahiri was on the balcony of his house in Kabul when it was targeted by Hellfire missiles, an hour after sunrise on July 31, and that there were no American soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan .

"We don't know if he ever left the safe house. We got to know Al-Zawahiri on several occasions and for long periods of time on the balcony, where he was eventually targeted," the official added.

According to the official version, the president gave the green light to carry out the strike on July 25, while he was in isolation due to his COVID-19 infection. Biden said there were no civilian casualties in the operation.

The official considered Al-Zawahiri's presence in the Afghan capital, Kabul, "a clear violation" of the Doha agreement that the Taliban signed with the United States in 2020 and paved the way for the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.

This is the first raid by the United States on an al-Qaeda target in Afghanistan since the withdrawal of American forces from the country on August 31, 2021.

Al-Zawahiri, the Egyptian doctor who became one of the world's most wanted men after he was accused of masterminding the September 2001 attacks in the United States that killed nearly 3,000 people, has been hiding from public view since then.

Al-Zawahiri took over the leadership of Al-Qaeda after the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011, and the United States has allocated a reward of $ 25 million for anyone who provides information about him.

On Saturday morning, the Afghan Ministry of Interior denied reports circulating on social media of a drone strike in Kabul, telling AFP that a missile hit an "empty house" in the capital, causing no casualties.

Early Tuesday, Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid tweeted about an "air attack" that targeted a house in the Sherpur district of Kabul.

In his tweet, he said, "The nature of the incident was not revealed at first. The security and intelligence services in the Islamic Emirate investigated the incident and concluded in their preliminary investigations that the attack was carried out by American drones."

The news comes a month before the first anniversary of the withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, leaving the country under the control of the Taliban, which has fought Western forces for the past two decades.

Under the 2020 Doha agreement, the Taliban pledged not to allow Afghanistan to be used again as a staging ground for jihadists, but experts believe the group has not severed ties with al Qaeda.

"What we do know is that Haqqani, a senior Taliban leader, was aware of his presence in Kabul," the Biden official said.

Sirajuddin Haqqani, deputy leader of the Taliban and interior minister, heads the Haqqani network, a sub-group of the Taliban that has been blamed for some of the deadliest violence of the past 20 years and is described by US officials as a "real arm" of the Pakistani intelligence service.

Al-Zawahiri, 71, lacks the powerful charisma that helped bin Laden mobilize jihadists from around the world, but he has channeled his analytical skills to serve the al-Qaeda cause.

He is believed to be the chief strategist and true mastermind behind al-Qaeda's operations, including the 9/11 attacks, as well as bin Laden's personal physician.

With the decline of al-Qaeda's role in the years following the US invasion of Afghanistan, the US administration official considered that al-Zawahiri was "one of the last remaining figures of this kind of importance."

Colin Clark, a researcher at the Soufan Center, believes that the organization is "at a crossroads."

"Despite al-Zawahiri's leadership, which minimized al-Qaeda's losses during the rebuilding phase, the group still faces serious challenges as it moves forward. One of these challenges is who will lead al-Qaeda after al-Zawahiri's departure," he said.

Al-Zawahiri's father was a well-known physician who found him an imam at Cairo's Al-Azhar mosque, the highest religious authority for Sunni Muslims.
Al-Zawahiri Jr. became involved in the extremist Islamic community in Egypt at an early age, and published several books on Islamic fundamentalism, which for many was a symbol of the radical Islamic movement.

In the mid-eighties, Al-Zawahiri left Egypt for Peshawar in northwest Pakistan, where the resistance against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan was concentrated.

At that time, while thousands of Islamic fighters were pouring into Afghanistan, the meeting took place between Al-Zawahiri and Bin Laden, and in 1998 he was one of five signatories to Bin Laden's "fatwa" calling for attacks against Americans.

The SITE website, which deals with extremist Islamic movements, stated that some jihadists doubt the veracity of the report on al-Zawahiri's death, while others believe that he fulfilled his desire for "martyrdom."

Regarding the future of al-Qaeda without him, SITE said that the jihadists' morale was high, as one of them wrote, "If Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri died, there would be a thousand other Aymans."

Khimki - (AFP) - American basketball player Brittney Griner said during her trial on Wednesday that she did not intend to smuggle drugs into Russia, and that she came to the country despite warnings from the United States not to let her Russian team down.

Greiner, a player for the Phoenix Mercury team, has been imprisoned since her arrival at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in February, when, according to the indictment, she was arrested with electronic cigarette packets filled with cannabis oil.

The Greiner case falls within the context of intense tensions between Moscow and Washington over the conflict in Ukraine, and many observers believe that Russia is exploiting this issue in order to reach a future prisoner exchange with the United States.

The player had arrived in Russia in order to play during the American League's downtime, which is a common practice for female basketball players who sometimes earn more abroad than at home.

During the trial on Wednesday, Greiner, who is two meters and six centimeters tall, said she still did not know how the canisters ended up in her bag.

"I did not think or plan to bring banned substances into Russia. I did not intend to break Russian law," she said, noting that she "was in a rush to pack for travel" and that she had "no intention of using" a banned substance in Russia.

"I will not do anything that would harm my team," she added.
On July 7, Greener pleaded guilty and faces up to 10 years in a Russian prison.
The 31-year-old said she received permission from an American doctor to use medical cannabis to relieve pain from her many injuries, "from the spine to the cartilage".

"I was in a wheelchair for four months. I sprained my ankle," she said, noting that she used medical cannabis "only during rest periods and when there are no competitions (...) It helps me a lot."

Greener said she did not want to use other painkillers because they had "bad side effects".

She confirmed that she had arrived in Russia, although the US authorities had recommended not to travel to Moscow, and said that she would "never risk" the tournament.

And she added, "My career is my whole life. I dedicated everything, my body, and my time away from my family. I played with injuries. There is nothing I wouldn't do for my career."

A spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said in a statement that the negotiations "are being conducted by the relevant authorities. No practical result has been achieved so far."

London, (AFP) - A large study conducted by the University of Oxford and published Wednesday found that the time spent playing video games had no consequences for their quality of life.

The study, which followed nearly 40,000 gamers over the age of 18 for six weeks, found little or no evidence of a causal relationship between video games and quality of life.

The researchers, whose study was published in the journal "The Royal Society", stated that "the average effects (video games) on the player's quality of life are likely to be very limited, whether positive or negative," noting that "more data is needed to identify potential risks." ".

The players were asked about their feelings in daily life, including their level of happiness, sadness, anger or frustration.

The researchers also drew on playtime data provided by the creators of seven video games, from simulation game Animal Crossing to open-world racing game The Crew 2.

The study noted that the consequences of video games, whether positive or negative, are only felt if the player spends more than ten hours playing daily.

These results contradict those of a study conducted by the same university in 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, to the effect that playing video games may be beneficial for mental health, in contrast to this study, which indicates that there is no link.

It is regularly said that video games, especially those that are played online, affect the psychological health of players, and previous studies have criticized the impact of very long gaming sessions on young people.

"One thing is certain, and that is that there is not enough data and evidence at the moment to allow public authorities to pass laws and regulations aimed at restricting the playing of video games in certain groups of the population," said Matte Faure, who co-authored the new study.

TEHRAN, (Xinhua) -- Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi stressed on Wednesday that the language of coercion used by Washington does not work with Iran, and that Tehran will not back down from its "correct and logical positions," according to the Iranian presidency's website.

Regarding the talks on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal , formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Raisi said that the Americans said Iran should return to the agreement but the truth is that Iran never withdrew from the JCPOA, and it was the United States that broke it. the agreement.

Raisi touched on US President Joe Biden's visit to the Middle East, and stressed that the Islamic Republic is closely monitoring all regional developments, and has repeatedly warned that any action against Iran's territorial integrity will face a decisive response.

Shabab Maan recently promoted to the second division after being crowned champions of the third division last season, while Khan Yunis, who was relegated from the first division to the first division, contracted with distinguished striker Muhammad Abu Musa in a free transfer, to appear with him in the next season 2022-2023. Accompanied by the players Abdullah Shabeer and Ahmed Al-Akkawi.

Abdel-Ghani Al-Sheikh, president of Khan Yunis Club - one of the most prominent clubs in the governorate, said that these important deals come within the team's desire to return to the Premier League and present the best performances in the next season, to confirm the true position of this team, which produced a group of the best stars in the sector, and presented High levels in the leagues.

Ramallah - " Jerusalem " dot com - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates warned the Israeli government, the international community, of the consequences of silence over the hijacking of Jerusalem and the attempts to impose Israeli sovereignty over it and the results and risks of this on the conflict arena and the chances of achieving peace.

In a statement today, Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry held direct responsibility for its Judaization campaigns in Jerusalem, stressing that there is no peace, security, or stability in the arena of conflict and the region without Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine.

She said that the tendency to build more settlement units despite the opposition of the US administration is another new evidence of the arrogance of the occupation and its insistence on refusing to obey international law and resolutions of international legitimacy, and on its perseverance in rebelling against the signed agreements, and denying their existence.

The ministry condemned the continuous colonial expansionist occupation projects in occupied Jerusalem, and the accompanying launch of Israeli political positions and boasts of these projects as an integral part of the process of annexing Jerusalem and consolidating its unification as the capital of the occupying state, the last of which was what was stated by the Israeli minister during his inauguration of the so-called lighting project. The Biblical Garden, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The Ministry also condemned the announcement of the so-called Planning and Building Committee of its intention to approve next week the construction of hundreds of new settlement units near the town of Beit Safafa, south of Jerusalem, with the support of the Israeli Minister of Interior, Ayelet Shaked, as part of the open occupation war on the Holy City with the aim of changing its reality. Its landmarks, its identity, its Judaization, and the submergence of its neighborhoods and towns in a huge settlement perimeter leads to its isolation from its Palestinian surroundings, and linking it to the Israeli depth.

And she continued, and this is accompanied by continuous daily targeting of Islamic and Christian sanctities, foremost of which is the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the imposition of more restrictions expelling the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem and deepening the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians, as is the case in the continuous aggression of the occupation on Palestinian educational institutions and the Palestinian curriculum.

She emphasized that the occupying state is exploiting its Talmudic narratives, occasions, holidays and religious sayings to achieve its colonial ambitions in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

The Ministry called on the UN Security Council to assume its legal and moral responsibilities in taking the necessary measures to implement the relevant UN resolutions, and to compel the occupying state to engage in a real political process that leads to ending the occupation of the land of the State of Palestine within a specific time frame.

ثلاث صفعات سياسية وُجهت للمستعمرة الإسرائيلية من قبل الشعب الفلسطيني خلال هذه الانتفاضة النوعية المتقدمة، انتفاضة القدس خلال شهر رمضان ولازالت، وكادت تكون شاملة على كامل خارطة فلسطين.
أول هذه الصفعات كانت في القدس، ومن المقدسيين بشكل خاص، شاركهم في ذلك من وصل إلى المسجد الأقصى قبل يوم 10 أيار قبل ليلة القدر، للاعتكاف والصلاة والاعتصام، عبر خيار مدروس وممنهج لحماية القدس وحرمها القدسي الشريف.
لقد خطط قادة المستعمرة للاحتفال بـ”توحيد القدس” و”تحرير القدس” وأن تكون القدس “عاصمة موحدة” لمستعمرتهم، وفق التاريخ العبري، عبر مسيرة الرايات الإسرائيلية القادمة من كافة أماكن سكناهم ومستوطناتهم ليتجمعوا ويحتفلوا في القدس القديمة وساحات الحرم القدسي- المسجد الأقصى، بهدف التأكيد أن القدس لهم وعاصمتهم الموحدة.
وخطط الفلسطينيون لإحباط برنامج المستعمرة وإفشاله، وإظهار القدس الشرقية كما هي، ويجب أن تكون جزءا لا يتجزأ من خارطة دولة فلسطين، وأن سكانها جزء من الشعب العربي الفلسطيني، وهكذا أحبط الفلسطينيون برنامج حكومة المستعمرة وأفشلوه، وأظهروا رسالة للعالم أن القدس فلسطينية الإرادة والتاريخ والخيار والعزم والإيمان، فكانت ردة الفعل الإسرائيلية على هزيمتهم عنيفة شرسة همجية في اقتحام مصليات المسجد القبلي والمسجد المرواني ومسجد قبة الصخرة، بعنف لم يشهد مثله المسجد الأقصى.
وثاني الصفعات جاءتهم من غزة هاشم، غزة البطولة، غزة الصمود التي أعادت للشعب العربي الفلسطيني كرامته وهويته واستقلال قراره ومؤسسته التمثيلية منظمة التحرير الفلسطينية، حينما انطلقت الصواريخ متعددة الأوزان والأثقال التي هزمت معنويات الإسرائيليين، وقدمت لهم رسالة واضحة أن قوة ردع جيش الاحتلال وأجهزة المستعمرة الأمنية عجزت على توفير الأمن لهم في أغلب مساحات مناطق الاحتلال الأولى عام 1948.
هذه الصفعة الثانية دفعت لمزيد من الشراسة الإسرائيلية وأفقدت قدرات جيش المستعمرة المتفوق الذي عمل على تدمير غزة، وبناها التحتية من ماء وكهرباء وطرق وإسقاط الأبراج وهدم البيوت، وممارسة كل أنواع الجرائم بحق أهالي غزة للمرة الرابعة على التوالي 2008-2009، 2012، 2014، وهذه الرابعة 2021، ولكنه رغم الدمار فشل في اصطياد أي من قيادات فصائل المقاومة الفلسطينية رغم وصوله إلى القيادات الميدانية لأنها كانت على رأس عملها في إدارة المعركة من قبل حماس والجهاد.
أما الصفعة الثالثة لمجمل المشروع الاستعماري العنصري الإسرائيلي من فلسطينيي مناطق الاحتلال الأولى عام 1948، أبناء الجليل والمثلث والنقب والمدن المختلطة.
انتفضت المدن الفلسطينية الثمانية في مناطق 48: الناصرة، طمرة، سخنين، أم الفحم، كفر قاسم، راهط، دعماً وتأييداً لشعبهم في القدس، ورفضاً لسياسات المستعمرة الاحتلالية العنصرية، ولكن المفاجأة المذهلة أتت من فلسطينيي المدن المختلطة الخمسة: حيفا وعكا ويافا واللد والرملة ذات الأغلبية الإسرائيلية والأقلية الفلسطينية من سكانها، فقد سجلت مشاركتها الأولى في العمل الفلسطيني وفي النشاط المقاوم وفي الشراكة مع مختلف مكونات الشعب الفلسطيني في انتفاضة القدس، ودللت على فشل المشروع الاستعماري برمته استراتيجياً، من خلال عجزه على ترويض الفلسطينيين في مناطق 48 وبالذات لدى المدن المختلطة والعمل على تكييفهم مع الهوية الإسرائيلية، وتبديل أولوياتهم، وكانت النتيجة على عكس ذلك، فقد استفز قانون يهودية الدولة، والممارسات العنصرية، والتمييز الفاقع ضدهم، دفعتهم نحو الهوية الفلسطينية والقومية العربية وأنهم جزء من شعبهم الفلسطيني مهما تقادم الزمن، ومهما تمادى مشروع المستعمرة في التفوق أو النفوذ أو التوسع.
ثلاث لطمات سياسية وجهها شعب فلسطين في منطقتي الاحتلال الأولى عام 1948 والثانية عام 1967، سيكون لها ما بعدها من تداعيات ومواقف وإنجازات فلسطينية تراكمية متعددة المحطات وصولاً نحو زوال الاحتلال وهزيمته واندحاره.

Liverpool won the English Football Community Shield title, by defeating Manchester City 3-1 on Saturday evening, at the “King Power Stadium”.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (21), Mohamed Salah (83 penalty kicks) and Darwin Nunez (90 + 4) scored Liverpool's goals, compared to a goal scored by Julian Alvarez (70).

Liverpool started the match without any of its new players, as coach Jurgen Klopp relied on the same players he relied on last season, and Egyptian international Mohamed Salah led the team's attack alongside Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz.

On the other hand, the Manchester City coach involved his new Norwegian striker, Erling Haaland, to play alongside Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish in the front line.

Liverpool started the match attacking, as captain Jordan Henderson passed a through ball to the Colombian Diaz on the right side, but City defender Robin Diaz stopped the latter's attempt in the third minute.

Salah almost opened the scoring in the fourth minute, when he skillfully overtook Joao Cancelo, before hitting the side netting from the outside.

Manchester City responded in the eighth minute, when Kevin De Bruyne picked up a rebound and hit it with his left hand, before it rebounded from Dutch defender Virgil van Dyck.

Alexander Arnold lifted a distinctive ball from the right, and Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson met it with his head, which did not find the way to the goal in the 14th minute.

Liverpool finally opened the scoring in the 21st minute, when the ball reached Salah, who turned it back to Arnold, so what was the last thing but to fire a court shot, which bounced off the far post and entered the goal.

Liverpool came close to scoring the second goal in the 26th minute, when Diaz's pass reached Firmino, who shot despite the harassment of City back Kyle Walker next to the goal.

Haaland was about to leave his first official match with City, when he got a pass from Bernardo Silva, and forcefully got rid of Robertson, before goalkeeper Adrian blocked his attempt in the 34th minute.

The remaining minutes of the first half passed, without real chances from both sides, until the last minute, when Adrian controlled Rodri's shot, City midfielder.

Adrian intervened again in the 47th minute, and saved a dangerous opportunity for Mahrez, who received a cunning pass from Rodri and hit a ball that hit the ground with his left hand, before the Spanish goalkeeper brilliantly removed it.

Guardiola realized that his team's attack needed to be strengthened on the wings, so he took out Grealish and Mahrez and involved Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden in their place.

Liverpool responded by involving Darwin Nunez in place of Firmino, and the Uruguayan striker almost scored a goal in the 64th minute, had it not been for the ingenuity of goalkeeper Ederson, who saved himself.

City finally managed to equalize in the 70th minute, when Foden received a pass from De Bruyne, and his attempt rebounded from goalkeeper Adrian, so that the ball would pass in front of Alvarez, who had no difficulty in depositing it, and the referee needed video technology in order to verify the validity of the goal.


But Liverpool returned to the air quickly, when the referee awarded him, with the help of video technology, a penalty kick, following a handball on Robin Diaz, and Salah executed the kick successfully in the 83rd minute.

Four minutes later, substitute James Milner lifted a ball from the right, which Nunez met with a header that settled next to the far post.

But Nunez managed to compensate in the fourth minute of stoppage time, when Salah lifted a ball from the right, Robertson met it with his head, hitting the Uruguayan striker with a close header in the net.

Halland hit Liverpool's crossbar in the seventh minute of stoppage time, after he followed a ball that was saved by goalkeeper Adrian.

Jenin - "Jerusalem" dot com - Ali Samoudi - Throughout her life, the forty-year-old mother, Hana Hisham, will not forget the moments of pain and excruciating shock that she experienced when she received the news of her firstborn's injury and the most beloved people to her heart, Muhammad Hisham Youssef Abu Naasa, on the morning of last Wednesday, which she considers to be black days. her age.

The grieving mother often shed tears for the martyrs who fell during the Israeli aggression on the camp recently, until she joined their mothers, and collapsed in grief when she saw Muhammad a martyr shot by the occupation, which deprived her of the pleasure of her liver, and turned her grandson Adam and Taleen into orphans.

On that day, Muhammad left his home early for his regular place of work in the municipality of Jenin, then returned, carried on his shoulders, to be the fourth martyr of Jenin, and the witness victim to the non-stop crimes of the occupation.

Before speaking to "Al Quds" dot com, Umm Muhammad long hugged Adam, 4 years old, and Taleen, 2 and a half years old. They are now the most beloved to her heart, because they are "from the scent of Muhammad... He only left me with his wife and two children, and may God give us all patience... What is the fault of my grandchildren so that they may live?" orphans, and the beginning of their life towards the graves. as you say.

She added, "My son was not armed and did not participate in the confrontations. He was returning from work to his home, and he did not pose any threat to the security of the occupation.. So why did they kill him in cold blood?!".

The refugee, Hana, remembers the moments of that morning when she, like the rest of the residents of Jenin camp, woke up to the sound of bullets and explosions, the sound of patrols and the roar of planes. Then came the difficult moments, when the symbolic marches of the first two martyrs began in the streets of the camp, where the mother, Abu Naisa, stood at the gate of her house at the main entrance. The camp follows the marches and funerals, crying heartbreak over them, but even in the worst nightmares of her life, she did not expect to see her firstborn and the beloved of her heart like them after less than an hour.

The mother says: "When the march passed in front of our house, I was crying and saying: May God give patience to the hearts of their mothers; suddenly my phone rang repeatedly and everyone was asking me what is in your house," indicating that his son Muhammad left his job from the municipality headquarters, after the start of the occupation operation, However, he was unable to reach the camp due to the spread of the occupation and the intensity of the shooting.

In those moments, Muhammad was wounded by the bullets of the occupation, and upon his transfer to the hospital, he announced his death, so feelings of resentment and anger against the occupation increased, and soon activists on the communication networks published the last phrase written by the martyr on his Facebook page on the morning of his martyrdom, in which he wrote: “In Every morning I say, O Lord, honor me, if it is not because I deserve it, because you are generous.” His cousin Nidal said, “The Lord of the Worlds answered him and answered the call, and honored him with martyrdom.”

In the meantime, before announcing his martyrdom in the mosques of the city, and within a few minutes, the mother, Umm Muhammad, received several calls with conflicting information, to live feelings of terror as she searched for the truth, while her fiftieth husband, Hisham, who works in the occupied interior, was continuing his work normally, and he says : "I heard the news of the raid, so I sent Muhammad a voice message to check on him, and he answered the same, so he informed me that he was at his friend's house, and he could not enter the camp, so I asked him to stay, and not to return before making sure that the occupation forces had left.. Minutes later, the calls on my phone did not stop, and I knew that My son was martyred, so I quickly returned to Jenin, trying all the way to contact his phone, which was answered by saying that it was switched off.”

Abu Naasa explains, quoting eyewitnesses, that with the continuation of the Israeli operation, Muhammad left Jenin and headed to the camp from Haifa Street leading to the Al-Zahraa neighborhood after he heard of the occupation’s withdrawal, but he saw several patrols on the way, so he went to nearby shops located in the area, and hid like the rest of the citizens because of the occupation. He was shot in the head even though he was hiding. After he was taken to the hospital, he was killed instantly.

At that time, the mother, "Hanaa", was still living a terrible spiral in light of the conflicting news, so she unleashed her feet as she ran towards the hospital to search for her beloved among the wounded and in the departments, and she says: "I felt that my soul suffocated while hearing many stories about the fate of my son." So I ran without thinking except to reach him and check on him, and before I could rejoice when I did not find him among the martyrs, my heart collapsed when I saw him as a martyr in the other room.

Hana and her family rebelled against the pain and pain, and hugged her daughter-in-law and two children when the body of her son was brought for his funeral, and insisted on saying goodbye to him with ululation, and she says in her simple language: “I bid him farewell with thanks to God, and I said to him, praise be to God that you are a hero, greet the Messenger, peace be upon him .. My Lord is pleased with you, and accepts you .. I am proud and sad, and I feel that I am in the midst of a dream waiting for someone to wake me up, but congratulations to Muhammad, the martyrdom, as he wished for it from a long time ago, and he obtained it because he deserved it.

As for the father, who was preoccupied with alleviating the pain of his family, he said: "The Lord of the Two Years is the one who chooses the martyrs, and I am very proud of my son, and we have not and will not be afraid of the threats of the occupation, so if the dear departed, there is no regret for the cheap."

Martyr Abu Naasa is considered the first child of his family consisting of 5 members, as he grew up and learned in Jenin camp schools until he finished high school, then joined Al-Quds Open University, and graduated two years ago with a Bachelor’s degree in Education. He is the closest of my sons to me. I am social and people share their joys and occasions.”

She added: "He relied on himself throughout his life, and he was self-taught, working and studying, and he got married because he relied on his work. He used to apply for education every year, but he was not lucky with a job, and a while ago he became a worker in the municipality of Jenin until his death, and he always talked about dreams and a beautiful future for his two children." But the Lord of the Worlds chose him as a martyr.”
