Amid global silence, Israeli forces killed nearly 360 Palestinian civilians in 2021: Report
Israeli forces have killed 357 Palestinians in 2021 amid the silence of the international community over the regime's increasing acts of violence against civilians, a report by an NGO says.
The secretary general of the National Association of the Martyrs' Families of Palestine, Muhammad Sbeihat, said on Saturday that the body has carried out field research and investigations in various provinces and found out that all these Palestinians were killed at the hands of the Israeli regime last year.
The report showed that some 19 percent of those killed were women, which is the highest figure in the history of the Israeli regime's crimes and acts of violation after its occupation of Palestinian land in 1948.
The report added that 22 percent of those martyred were children, emphasizing that silence of the international community has encouraged Tel Aviv to commit such crimes against the Palestinian people.
The global silence towards Israel's crimes has encouraged the regime to ignore and belittle blood of the Palestinian people of all ages.
Sbeihat also called on the international community, humanitarian institutions and the Palestinian Authority, particularly the Palestinian ministries of justice and foreign affairs to pursue legal prosecution of Israeli officials in international courts.
Rights advocates say that Israeli forces have adopted a “shoot-to-kill” policy during clashes with Palestinians, even in clear cases where they could be captured.
Tel Aviv has been criticized for its extensive use of lethal force and extrajudicial killing of Palestinians who do not pose an immediate threat to its forces or to settlers.
Israeli troops have on numerous occasions been caught on camera, brutally killing Palestinians, with the videos going viral online and sparking international condemnation.
Late last month, Israeli forces shot and injured a 16-year-old Palestinian boy during clashes in Kufr Qaddoum area in the northern part of the occupied West Bank.
Sources and witnesses said that the teenager was shot in the chest with a rubber-coated steel bullet fired by the Israeli forces during clashes in the area.
The Israeli regime occupied the West Bank in 1967 before starting to dot the Palestinian territory with illegal settlements and severely restricting the Palestinians' freedom of movement there.
Palestinians want the West Bank as part of a future independent Palestinian state with East al-Quds as its capital.

After worldwide solidarity with Palestinian prisoner Hisham Abu Hawash, it looks like an agreement has been reached for his release in February 2022 - some sources say he has suspended his hunger strike while others say he continues until papers are signed
Hisham Abu Hawash began his hunger strike in protest of his detention without charge or trial, a common, though illegal, tactic used by Israel against Palestinians.
During his strike, Hisham risked his life, falling into a coma just days ago, to oppose this cruel practice.
As we celebrate Hisham's victory, hundreds of Palestinians remain in Israeli detention though they have not been charged with anything nor given a trial. #FreeThemAll
Last night, Omar Abdelmajid As'ad, an 80-year-old Palestinian man was on his way back home after a visit to his relatives in his hometown of Jiljilya, in the occupied West Bank district of Ramallah, when an ambush of Israeli soldiers stopped and arrested him and tied his hands to the back.
The soldiers took him to a workshop in the village and embarked on beating him while he was handcuffed, according to witnesses.
Nearly an hour later, a group of local Palestinian young men who accidentally passed by the workshop where the old man was being beaten were also attacked by the soldiers and detained in the same workshop with the old man, who had already been beaten for a while.
As soon as the soldiers pulled out of the village and released them, including the old man, the young men noticed that As'ad was on the verge of death. And when they moved him to a nearby hospital, the old man had already passed away. An initial medical checkup to the deceased old man showed bruises across his body.

Sheikh Sulaiman Hathalin, a Palestinian elderly known for his activism in the anti-colonization movement in the West Bank province of Hebron, was run over and critically wounded about a week ago by an Israeli military vehicle at the entrance to Umm al-Kheir village.

May Allah Taala raise the ranks of the martyrs, and settle the cause of the Palestinians with manifest victory.
We feel so helpless, sitting here in our living rooms, reading the reports of inhuman barbarity of the occupiers against innocent Muslim men, women, and children. This has been going on for at least the last three generations. I wonder what answer we will give when Rasoolullah SAW questions us about what we did to alleviate the sufferings of his ummah.
It’s Gaza’s bird-catching season, when some Gaza residents earn a modest amount of money to help support their families by trapping exotic migratory birds along the border with Israel.
But the problem, and a very deadly problem, is that the hunters have become the hunted. Israeli snipers target Gaza residents as they go about their work.
The method Gazans use is a classic bird trapper’s ruse. A string tied to the legs of a captured bird acts as bait for others flying overhead. When they land on the ground, thinking there are worms to be had, a net is flipped over the birds. Simple but effective.
But Israeli snipers lie in wait, overlooking the land where the birds are aplenty—in the heavily militarised and blockaded Gaza Strip along the border.
Gaza has two bird trapping seasons—in the fall when several species of birds migrate from freezing #Europe to the #MiddleEast, and the second in May, during the breeding season of local #birds.
Bird hunting is an old recreational practice for many but due to the difficult economic situation in Gaza, it helps provide a modest source of income for those who are unemployed.
But it has become a dangerous activity. Anyone moving around in the be.s-1e-ged area can become a target of Israeli snipers.
“Thirteen Gazans have been mur.d-e.red by Is-r8.eli snipers while hunting birds in different areas along the borders since the second Intifada in 2000,” says Maher al-Tabbaa, a Gazan economic expert.
In 2021, Mohamed Ammar, a Palestinian man, was shot dead while trying to capture goldfinches in the border area. He was said to be supporting a family of 10 and was the main breadwinner. He was shot in the back of the head by an Israeli soldier. An inhumane crime.
While untangling net traps for migratory birds, Palestinian bird hunters know that an Israeli sniper can target them any time.
Victory in Oldham: Elbit forced to sell Ferranti after sustained direct action campaign
After 18 months of sustained direct action taken at the Elbit Ferranti site in Oldham, Greater Manchester, with 36 people arrested, Elbit have now sold Ferranti technologies, with its continued operation in Oldham appearing unfeasible. Activists have occupied, blockaded, smashed, disrupted, and protested regularly at the site, ultimately succeeding in ending the factory’s production of specialist military technologies for Israel’s fleet of combat drones.
Palestinian Al-Naqab desert is facing nowadays unprecedented ethnic cleansing attempts, massive arrests and repression campaigns by the IOF and the Jewish National Fund.
Sheikh Jarrah resident under threat of forceful eviction willing to die
The Salhia family threatens to create an explosion with gas tanks, destroying the house, if the Israeli forces expel them, Sheikh Jarrah, Jerusalem. Since the morning, Israeli forces have been blockading the area in an attempt to expel the Palestinian family who has lived there for generations. The family was originally expelled from Ein Karem village, Jerusalem, in 1948 in favor of Israeli settlers.
Mahmoud Salhiya, the owner of the house which is under threat of forceful eviction by occupation forces in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in the occupied city of Jerusalem said,
"We are originally from Ein Karim, we aren't going to be displaced again, we will not leave here, either we die or we live"
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
