THE RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF

In a conventional war, the contenders have the right to defend themselves against attacks. No one denies Israel that right; but it cannot be denied to Hamas either. Israel affirms that it fights with terrorism, while politicians and pro-Palestinian groups in Europe defend that the aggressions of the Al-Qassam brigades are “actions of war.”

On the seventh day of the war the dead accumulate. Israel recognizes 1,400 dead and nearly 2,500 wounded. Hamas estimates that at least 1,500 people, soldiers and civilians, have died in its territory, while the injured number in the thousands.

Israel continues to cut off electricity, water and fuel to the Palestinian strip. The situation is terrible because even the hospitals are using up their last liters of fuel and the injured may begin to lose their lives.

The Palestinian president, Mahmud Abbas, has demanded an immediate end to the aggressions against the Palestinian people in a meeting with the King of Jordan, Abdullah II. Aman has sent $4.3 million to UNRWA, which cares for refugees.

This war is going to fuel hatred between the two communities. Clashes between Arab and Jewish residents have already occurred in France. And it will be very difficult to reestablish the ties of good coexistence between the two parties.

Israel does not stop bombing Gaza, in such an intense way that it is disproportionate to the attacks by Hamas. The Zionist state aims to destroy the infrastructure of the Palestinians and does not seem to care that thousands of civilians die under the bombings.

There are terrible images of Palestinian children rescued from the ruins of homes, many of them seriously injured. Other children cry while waiting to be taken to the hospitals. Blood flows from their wounds, but the most terrible thing is the faces of horror and despair waiting for the arrival of the first responders.

There is no worse horror than the violent death of innocent children. They have died on both sides in combat, but it is the Palestinians who bear the brunt.

The United Nations has warned that war would have devastating consequences if Israel invades the Gaza Strip. The Jewish state has already planned an action of such importance, but for the moment has not given it the green light.

                         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 ...
