Teen killed by Zi-Gistapo sniper posed 'no threat' to soldiers

NOVANEWS A Palestinian medic lifts a youth at a hospital in the West Bank city of Ramallah January 15, 2013. Zio-Nazi authorities have provided no evidence that a Palestinian teenager fatally shot in the back in December by Zio-Nazi forces posed "any threat to life that would justify such a killing," Human Rights Watch said Sunday. Wajih Wajdi al-Ramahi, 15, was shot with live bullets in the back by Zio-Nazi sniper in front of his school on Dec. 7 in al-Jalazun refugee camp near Ramallah. Locals told Ma'an that the area where al-Ramahi was shot had no clashes or any kind of rock-throwing incidents that might have provoked the killing. HRW said that some Palestinian youths had been throwing stones at Zio-Nazi soldiers, but they were over 200 meters away and not at risk of being hit. "T...

Zio-Nazi forces and Nazi settlers escalate attacks against Qasra village, southeast of Nablus

NOVANEWS The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) condemns the escalation of attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against Qasra village, southeast of Nablus. The latest incident involved joint attacks launched by Israeli forces and settlers on Saturday, 23 February 2013, which injured 8 Palestinian civilians, including 3 children.

صحف عبرية- السنة التي كانت: من ربيع عربي الى شتاء اسلامي

Posted by: Siba Bizri Arabic Shoah Editor in Chief اصطبغت سنة 2012 كالسنة التي سبقتها بصبغة الربيع العربي، هناك من يقول انه شتاء اسلامي الذي زار منطقتنا. ومن الواضح منذ زمن أن الحديث ليس عن حادثة نقطية بل عن مسار تاريخي كانت نقطة بدئه الثورة في تونس في كانون الاول/ديسمبر 2010 لكن مايزال من غير الممكن ان نرى نهايته. توجد اماكن يمكن الحديث فيها عن 'نهاية البداية' في الزعزعة التي جرت على دول المنطقة. في هذه الاماكن كمصر أو تونس بل ليبيا، انتهى بنجاح النضال لابعاد المستبدين البغيضين وانقضى النظام القديم. لكن توجد اماكن كسورية لا يمكن الحديث فيها حتى عن 'نهاية البداية'، لأن النضال لاسقاط السلطة ما يزال في ذروته وبعيدا عن نهايته. ونقول في النهاية انه توجد اماكن كالممالك العربية، ولا سيما الاردن أو حتى دول الخليج حتى لم يبدأ فيها الربيع العربي، رغم الغليان الذي يتم الشعور به في الشوارع. ان الار...
