POPE ACCUSES ISRAEL OF CARRYING OUT GENOCIDE IN GAZA


Pope Francis has stepped out of his usual reserve to say on Sunday that the continued bombing of Gaza by Israeli forces, which has killed at least a dozen people a day, clearly constitutes “genocide.”


This is the first time that the Pope has called for an investigation into Israeli aggression in the Palestinian enclave, adding that “the allegations of genocide by Israel must be taken into account,” an accusation made by more than a hundred international humanitarian organizations, as well as agencies that depend on the United Nations. 


In September, he said Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon have been “immoral” and disproportionate, and that its military has gone beyond the rules of war.


Pope Francis’s voice represents an accusation that will be welcomed by the millions of Catholics around the world. His words call for a mobilization of Christian believers to continue their demonstrations in favor of negotiations for a truce, followed by a ceasefire, in the Palestinian enclave.


In the universities of the United States, where thousands of students have demonstrated in the streets against Israel, His Holiness's declaration has been received with support, while Israel's ignorance of the accusations that make it a pariah state has been denounced.


“According to some experts, what is happening in Gaza has the characteristics of a genocide,” the pope said in excerpts published Sunday by the Italian daily La Stampa.


The Pope supports the peace negotiations that have been held for months with the mediation of Qatar and Egypt, as well as the participation of representatives of the United States and Israel. These conversations are currently paralyzed.

Lebanese authorities announced on Monday that the main spokesman of Hezbollah, Mohamed Afif, was killed in a bombing raid by the Israeli air force on Beirut the day before in the Ras-El-Nabaa district.


This fact shows that Israel has gone from assassinating the main leaders of the Lebanese Shiite movement to eliminating lesser figures who do not directly participate in the reprisals against the aggressions of the Jewish forces.

 Prime Minister Netanyahu has expressed on several occasions that one of his objectives is to destroy Hezbollah, regardless of the members targeted by the deadly attacks.

                         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 ...
