IPNOT QUOTE OF THE DAY October 2nd: A Heavy Political Price


While world leaders are gathering to commemorate Shimon Peres and his path to peace, the Israeli government is creating another obstacle for the two state solution by establishing a new settlement in the heart of the West Bank. The government's decision to reward settlers who stole private Palestinian lands will make the rest of Israel's law-abiding citizens pay a heavy political price.

IPNOT QUOTE OF THE DAY October 1st: "Reconsider your decision, sir."

IPNOT QUOTE OF THE DAY October 1st: "Reconsider your decision, sir."

“Whether [Peres] was a terrorist or not, whether he invented of the policy of breaking bones during the First Intifada or not, whether he was involved in the Jenin refugee camp massacre, the massacre of the al-Yasmeen neighborhood in Nablus, or the massacre of Qana -- who is he that you are going to partake in his funeral while the majority of the people you represent oppose him?” 

“You can visit the mother of Yasser Hamduna, who died in Israeli custody, and ask her what she thinks. If she agrees, go. If she doesn't, you will have the final word. But if you decide alone to partake in the funeral of a killer of our people, that would be a mistake. And if you made up your mind after consultations, you have been misled.

“There should be no personal or friendly relations with the occupier, as long as they continue with their arrogant policies against our people.

“Reconsider your decision, sir.”

Osama Mansour Abu Arab, major in Palestinian Authority's military liaison office writing on his Facebook page on Friday to president Mahmoud Abbas.

Abu Arab was suspended from his position and arrested on Saturday by Palestinian Authority's security forces.

IPNOT PICTURE OF THE DAY October 1st: Raghad Khaddour(18) freed

Raghad Khaddour(18) - name also written as al-Khdour - was released on early afternoon of Saturday October 1st by Israel's occupation forces and moved to a hospital in Ramallah.

She was wounded near spine and abdomen on September 16st by Israel's occupation forces, who killed her fiancée Firas Khaddour(18) in the same incident at the entrance to Israel's illegal colony of Kiryat Arba in occupied West Bank's Hebron.

The extent of permanent damage to her spinal cord and nerves is unknown at this point, but she needs a long period of recovery even at the best case.

Israeli occupation tried to allege that the young couple had done 'a vehicular attack', planted a knife on Raghad's seat and claimed that she had 'confessed' to this supposed 'attack' in 'a will'.

Israeli occupation also claimed that 3 illegal Israeli settlers had been 'injured' in the supposed attack, admitting later that they had 'been treated for shock'.

Raghad's sister Majd(18) was killed on the exact same spot on June 25th in similar circumstances, shot dead in her car.

IPNOT PICTURE OF THE DAY September 30th 2016: Last kiss to father

Ahmad As’ad Meit(30) being kissed by his son during his funeral on Friday September 30th in Palestine's besieged Gaza Strip.
Meit died during the dismantling of an unexploded Israeli missile in Gaza's Beit Hanoun on Thursday.
The missile leaked propellant or other material that turned gaseous and (apparently) because of inadequate protective equipment, those dismantling the missile ended up inhaling the gas.
Three others suffered injuries and were reported to be in a critical condition.
At first it was reported that Meit died in a collapse of a resistance tunnel, but that was wrong information.

ISRAELI OCCUPATION TAKES YET ANOTHER LIFE AT QALANDIA CHECKPOINT



28 y/o Palestinian named Nasim Abu Mizer / Abu Mazer has been killed at Qalandia checkpoint by Israel's occupation forces late on Friday evening.

As far as we can know now, he was shot sometime before ten p.m. and was dead before eleven p.m. on Palestine time.

Abu Mizer was shot and left to bleed for almost an hour without being given medical aid after alleged attack on Israeli occupation forces' member, who would have supposedly been 'stabbed' in neck according to one source, and to 'upper body' according to another.

Israel's occupation forces didn't allow Palestinian medics to reach the bleeding young man and refused to give aid to him themselves in contravention to laws of war.

The health status of the occupier - either a member of regular occupation forces or a paramilitary 'Border Guard' based on different sources - was described to be "moderate to serious".

At this point, based on the few photographs we have seen from the scene, we believe that the allegation seems likely to be factual when it comes to the basic details - assuming that the injured occupier wasn't injured by friendly fire.

The victim Nasimn Abu Mizer was from the town of Kafr Aqab.

After he had been shot and was bleeding to death, Israeli occupation closed the checkpoint and used tear gas to attack local youths protesting the killing.
