BLUF: As with all Palestinian productions there is a bit of divisiveness within it. Having said this, the video is a damn good thumbnail cultural tour.

Are watching these videos all you do all day?

(COMMENT)

This one is not so bad. It sends a positive connotation. It does not beat the drum for the self-victimization of the Arab Palestinians in the disputed territories until the very end.

Most Respectfully,

The affair of the Bedouin blood revenge of Shadi a-Sufi

From a demonstration by members of the Tarabin tribe, near the house of Shadi a-Sufi in the Gaza Strip, today.




The death sentence handed down today by the Hamas court to a member of the Tarabin tribe, Shadi a-Sufi, is not accepted there in peace.

After the evening prayers, hundreds of members of the Tarabin tribe gathered near his home in Gaza, Rafah, declaring that the sentence imposed was against Sharia and that now, Shadi's blood feud had reset, so the blood settlement with the Elkik family was open again.

The speaker in the video makes it clear that blood revenge is open and that all members of the Elkik family are enemies of the Tarabin tribe. The Arabic caption reads: البادي اظلم -"the one who started is the one who will snatch more".

The great outrage over the sentence did not remain within the Gaza Strip. Prominent figures in the Tarabin tribe in Sinai announced today that anyone from the tribe who will work for Hamas' blood, property and family will be allowed to all and that the Tarabin tribe is now at war with Hamas following the punishment imposed on Shadi. They added that the people of Tarabin know how they should act against Hamas.

Death of a Hamas Leprechaun

Hamas have announced the death of one of their terrorists,
60-year-old Anwar Shaban Dakka, who apparently lost his jihad against illness.

He’s now going to be pushing up daisies...instead of guarding them in his role as a garden leprechaun.

Oscar short-listed movie offers glimpse of Palestinians' life under Israeli checkpoints

Shortly after the Palestinian Intifada in the 1990s, British-Palestinian filmmaker Farah Nabulsi ceased her visits the West Bank where her family hailed from. Twenty-five years later, she returned to find a new reality that inspired her film 'The Present' which has been shortlisted for an Oscar...

That poor girl you Islamist have been parading for a decade,
to hide how you really treat your women...

I also remember how you paraded that one and only shortly lived female taxi driver,
until she was threatened and attacked because it was too much for your little Islamist pride...

Hamas court says women need a male guardian’s approval to travel

ASSOCIATED PRESS
FEB. 15, 2021 UPDATED 12:40 PM PT
GAZA CITY —

A Hamas-run Islamic court in the Gaza Strip has ruled that women require the permission of a male guardian to travel, further restricting movement in and out of the territory that has been blockaded by Israel and Egypt since the militant group seized power.

The rollback in women’s rights could spark a backlash in Gaza at a time when the Palestinians plan to hold elections later this year. It could also solidify Hamas’ support among its conservative base at a time when it faces criticism over living conditions in the territory it has ruled since 2007.

The decision by the Sharia Judicial Council, issued Sunday, says an unmarried woman may not travel without the permission of her “guardian,” which would usually refer to her father or another older male relative. Permission would need to be registered at the court.

BLUF: I often chuckle when I hear the Arab Palestinians complain about Humans Rights (HR) violations. You've found an example of one here.

(COMMENT)

When I was exchanging ideas with our friend, P F Tinmore, I was trying to explain to him that Universal Human Rights Instruments, in reality, → there is no true definition that explains the meaning behind those concepts which are accepted "universally." The acceptance of a universal right on any issue, is a matter of "value" (a benefit must be expected in return for acceptance). It is not a matter It is NOT an extension of a Cosmic Power bestowing such a right on humanity either individually or collectively.

Fatah: London’s Big Ben was stolen from Palestine!

How about a little levity to start the week? Inadvertent levity, that is, for the perpetrator of this “fake news”, Fatah, is the ruling party in the West Bank, and the levity is meant to be propaganda. Fatah is the biggest of the organizations/political parties under the aegis of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Mahmoud Abbas is the head of both Fatah, the PLO and, of course, president of Palestinian Authority.

If you pay attention to the “news” put out by various Palestinian state media, of which Fatah is one, you’ll find all kinds of amusement amidst the lies. For example, Fatah regularly asserts that Mossad, the main organ of Israeli intelligence, trains animals to attack Palestinians and others.

These include rats trained to bite Arabs in Jerusalem, wild pigs trained to destroy Palestinian fields, and sharks trained to attack European tourists in Egypt to damage the Egyptian tourist industry. There’s even a Wikipedia page on this issue called “Israel-related animal conspiracy theories.” It’s hilarious (check out the references).

Fatah also argued that Jews poison their wells, used the disaster in Haiti to harvest human organs for transplantation into rich Jews, and that Jewish archaeologists plant fake “proof” of ancient Jewish presence in the Holy Land.

The thing is (is) that many Palestinians and Arabs believe this stuff. The latest and perhaps biggest whopper is the one below, again promulgated by Fatah: the British stole Big Ben from the British Mandate of Palestine (the area where Jews and Arabs lived after the Ottoman Empire collapsed), and took Big Ben to London, where it now chimes daily.

If you ask how people can believe this guff, well, ask yourself why so many Americans believe in QAnon.? The power of confirmation bias is strong.

Here’s a Palestinian woman who firmly believes the Purloined Big Ben Theory. If you speak Arabic, feel free to translate some of it.



Inshallah!

And here’s the article from the official Fatah news showing the supposedly stolen clock in situ in the 1920s (click on the screenshots to go to the site):

And the entirety of their article.
Note the claim that Big Ben was taken to the British Museum!

Well, it takes about ten seconds of Googling to dispel this fiction. According to Wikipedia, the clock tower in England (it’s the bell itself that’s formally known as “Big Ben,” not the whole clock or the tower) was completed in 1859, well before the supposed theft. And the clock’s movement was finished in 1854, five years before it was put into the tower.

Of course, I suppose you could always claim that Wikipedia was a Jewish conspiracy. . .
We can be thankful that the New York Times hasn’t gone this far—yet.
