4 PALESTINIANS KILLED DURING LAST THREE DAYS BY ISRAEL'S OCCUPATION FORCES, EGYPT'S NAVY

On Wednesday afternoon Egypt's navy opened fire at Palestinian fishing boat off the southern part of
besieged Gaza's coast, hitting 16 or 18 y/o Firas Mohammad Miqdad from Rafah. Miqdad, who was fishing with his father, was wounded in abdomen and killed as a result of his wounds. No reason or even excuse for the killing has been given. 

On Thursday 25 y/o Malik Talal al-Shareef was shot and killed southwest of Bethlehem on the occupied West Bank near the illegal Israeli Gush Etzion colony bloc, allegedly for "trying to stab a soldier". No evidence for this has been given, no member of Israel's occupation forces have been set to have been injured.


The killed young man was a former anchor for children's show in local Hebron Radio. 


On Friday afternoon Israel's occupation forces shot fifteen times at the car of a 72 or 75 y/o woman named either Tharwat or Sarwa Ibrahim al-Sharawi at petrol station near Halhul on occupied West Bank. Some bullets or pieces of shattered glas from al-Sharawi's car also hit two nearby youths, wounding them.


The elderly al-Sharawi was claimed by Israel to have tried to run over Israel's occupation forces soldiers, but no evidence of this has been shown and none of the occupation soldiers present were injured. 


After at first denied medical care (Palestinian ambulances were turned away) while Israel's occupation forces attacked civilians and journalists at the scene with sound bombs and tear gas, al-Sharawi was taken away in an Israeli ambulance but either died in the way to hospital or in the hospital.


Her husband Fouad was killed by Israel's occupation forces during the First Intifada. According to al-Sharawi's son, she had been on her way to have lunch with her sister.

Soon after Israel's occupation forces shot and killed 23 y/o Salameh Moussa Abu Jame during a protest in besieged Gaza.

Only in US can Kim Stanley Robinson be called a centre-left writer. Just look at Red Mars - the main character is a White Male US Hero directly from The Right Stuff movie, who gets betrayed by a jealous black US man who lost him in career, love and fame and gets the White Male US Hero killed by Arabs.

White Male US Hero's half-Asian son in the later novels is described negatively for wanting to save the pristine landscape of Mars while fighting for its independence for which he dies. In the third generation the White Male US Hero's grand-daughter, now only 1/4 Asian and shown to have more of the character of the late White Male US Hero, is portrayed more positively. It tells a lot about the nature of most of science fiction in US - far-right, right-wing anarchism - that a right-winger like Robinson, who goes out of his way to deny Climate Change (its volcanoes under the Arctic) as a reason for flooding of Earth in the last Mars novel, can appear a man of the left, even if only of the centre-left variety.

In the trilogy now abridged as Green Earth he gave up on the Climate Change denial but out of the US of A he is not a progressive author. A very similar case is David Brin, a man of the centre in United States and moderate right-winger everywhere else.

HARVESTING ORGANS IN NAME OF ZIONISM TO 'DETER TERRORISM'?

HARVESTING ORGANS IN NAME OF ZIONISM TO 'DETER TERRORISM'?
There are up to 200 bodies of Palestinians who have been killed by Israel or died in Israeli occupation captivity still held by Israel. At least in 2010, the oldest cadaver held by Israel went back to 1967.
There has been several agreements to hand over bodies in recent years, but how many bodies have actually been given back to the families of the dead is unclear.
Most of these bodies are buried in "cemeteries of numbers", graves marked only by plaques with numbers, hence the name.
But 28 bodies of victims of the current uprising are held in the notorious Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv, where in the past organs were harvested from Palestinians without permit of families and without their knowledge.
Organs were also taken from Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon and harvested body parts were buried in mass graves without permission from families.
In the current circumstance, Israel's reluctance to return bodies has led to rumours of these bodies of the recently killed being harvested for organs also and some on the side of Israel have already come up with excuses - like our example shows - if this would actually be proven to to have happened.
"For the record, I'm in favour of harvesting organs from terrorists to save lives, to deter terrorism."
Yaakov Menken(1965-) blogger, columnist, rabbi and IT entrepreneur (graduate of Princeton university, who active in both the United States and Israel.
Menken is not an online troll, but a rather respected figure in mainstream circles. Him coming up with excuses for possible harvesting of organs from killed Palestinians can't be used as an evidence to show that it is currently happening, but it does so that taking organs is seen in pro-occupation circles as another possible and 'justified' way to punish the Palestinian dead and their families for resisting the Israeli occupation.

OCCUPIED PALESTINE'S NOVEMBER BEGINS AS OCTOBER ENDED: ISRAEL KILLS A YOUTH

OCCUPIED PALESTINE'S NOVEMBER BEGINS AS OCTOBER ENDED: ISRAEL KILLS A YOUTH

Israel's occupation forces shot several times Hassan Farrouk(27) in Beit Einun village near the occupied town of Al-Khalil / Hebron, stopped at gunpoint Palestinian medics from reaching him and forced them to leave and also attacked journalists who tried to get to the scene. 

After Farroukh had died of his wounds, Israeli occupation forces took his body away.

It appears that Israel is trying to limit the amount of publicity its occupation forces' killings of Palestinians gets by denying access to media - whose images also have often brought to question Israel's occupation forces' claims of "stabbings" and "stabbing attempts".

A claim of "stabbing attempt" has been made in connection with this killing also by the Israeli occupation. Attempting to eye-witness, there was no stabbing attempt and the youth was not near the Israeli soldiers when they opened fire at him.

PALESTINIAN KILLED AFTER VEHICULAR INCIDENT NEAR HALHOUL ON OCCUPIED WEST BANK

PALESTINIAN KILLED AFTER VEHICULAR INCIDENT NEAR HALHOUL ON OCCUPIED WEST BANK

On Wednesday Ibrahim Samir Ibrahim Skafi, aged 22 or 23, hit two Israel's occupation forces soldiers with his car near Halhoul on occupied West Bank and after being injured in the crash, he was shot at least once and possibly several times while still in his car with Israeli occupation forces soldiers stopping Palestinian ambulance from reaching the scene. Skafi perished. 

One of the occupation soldiers suffered "light", another "moderate" injuries.

Although both Israeli occupation and many Palestinian sources treat the event as an "attack", that can't be said with total certainty. Israel tends to treat all vehicular incidents between occupied Palestinians and Israeli occupiers as "attacks".

The previous death in the current uprising was that of 16 y/o Ahmed Awad Abu al-Rub near the al-Jalama checkpoint on Monday 2nd November. He was shot, according to Palestinian sources from an Israeli occupation military tower, while Israel's occupation forces claimed he was shot by occupation soldier on foot and gave the usual "acted suspiciously, drew a knife" litany. 

Medical care was denied from the dying teen, whose 17 y/o friend Mahmoud Mo’men Kamil was detained.

AFP does Israel's propaganda for it

Israel's occupation forces claim that the victim TRIED to stab an occupation forces member. There is no evidence of it, no weapon in photos taken immediately after the shooting.

Just like in Saturday's killing of Palestinian youth Israeli occupation forces produced as 'evidence' a little bit rusted small kitchen knife with no blood on it and an occupation forces member with a small hole in his t-shirt with no wound, with another occupier a hand on his threat, where no blood was to be seen.

AFP just repeats Israeli occupation claims without bothering to check them up or even to question them.
