REPRESSION IN ISRAEL: THE HAMOURI CASE

Since his expulsion to France by Israel on December 18, the Franco-Palestinian lawyer Salah Hamouri says he has suffered more often from his right thigh, where an Israeli bullet harvested in 2000, when he was a teenager, remains embedded.

"When it's super cold, it hurts me a little," he told AFP in mid-January in Paris, where the temperatures are much cooler than in Jerusalem.

"I think about it all the time. It's part of the traces of the occupation that pursue me", continues this slender man with intense blue eyes, pointin

"At 6 or 7 years old", Salah Hamouri says he discovered the prison by visiting this uncle. He himself will then multiply prison stays. Now 37, he has lived through nine, nearly a quarter of his life spent in detention.

Five months in 2001, four months in 2004, thirteen months in 2017, ten days in 2020, then nine months in 2022 ... "What he does is not something to blame, so we always support him", assures his mother Denise, who came to see him in Paris.

His shorter stays behind bars almost all related to administrative detention, this regime qualified as "illegal at the level of international law" by Nathalie Godard, an executive of Amnestyinternational, because neither the accused nor his lawyers know the charges.

                         لماذا نحن هنا؟ Information is an important element in the world we live in. Fake news leads us to believe the opposite of reality. In a Middle Eastern region where the bloody war in Gaza continues, it is important to report the truth; the genocide and Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as the situation in Syria. This is what we do at ARABINFOCUS. We have therefore humbly asked for donations from members of the HH Arab Royal Houses; from His Highnesses Emirs and from important Muslim personalities who have the financial means to make a donation. We have asked them for a simple donation. Only one anonymous Saudi helped us. All the others have ignored us and have not given us even  a dinar.  Why this ignorance against ARABINFOCUS? Our fight against Jewish Zionism deserved help. But a HH Crown Prince; HH sheikhs; HH emirs;  Prime ministers; all have scorned us, instea...

          IS FOOTBALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ARABIC CULTURE? Qatar and Saudi Arabia have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring top-class soccer players in Europe to elevate and give greater prestige to their national championships in this sport. Football is a global distraction and, therefore, there is nothing to criticize about these operations. It is absolutely normal and correct that the two Arab countries have made that expense. But this situation moves us to ask some questions: 1.- Soccer is more important than the values of the culture of the Arab Nation. ? 2.-Is Soccer more important than reporting and condemning Israel's criminal aggressions against the Palestinian people? 3.-Is Soccer more important than defending Islam and its values and teachings, when it is being subjected to unfair attacks from some Western countries? 4.- Is Soccer more important than explaining and defending the values of the holy book of the Quran, subject of attacks, de...

                ONE HUNDRED KILLED IN THE ATTACK ON A SCHOOL IN GAZA Genocide and war crimes continue in Gaza, although Prime Minister Netanyahu says he is willing to resume peace negotiations. In the attack on a school this Friday, 100 Palestinians died, some of whom are women and children. Israel justified the missile attack, stating that the school served as a refuge for Hamas militants, but has not presented the slightest evidence to justify the version of the Jewish armed forces. It's the same old story. Every time Israel attacks a school, a hospital or a refugee camp, it justifies it by claiming that those places were used by the military branch of Hamas. But don't look for proof because there isn't any. The school attacked with missiles was Al-Tabin, in the Daraj area, in the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The school was completely destroyed. Meanwhile, the Palestinian and Lebanese populations continue to wait for the announced attack ...
