Provocation and the Cycle of Violence in One Act!

Today on International Holocaust Day comes news of an attack against worshippers attending the Shabbat service at Neve Yakov Jerusalem. Palestinian man Alkam Khairi killed at least 7-8 Israeli settlers and injured others during the shooting operation according to Israeli media.

What prompted Alkam Khairi to pick up a gun and why did he choose that synagogue?

Background – On the 29th of December 2022, the Netanyahu coalition government was sworn in, the coalition is the most far-right government in Israel’s short history. Netanyahu’s coalition partners come from the ultra-orthodox and ultra-nationalist fringes of Israeli politics, to accommodate his new partners Netanyahu has had to make agreements that have been described as a sellout of Israel’s democratic values.

Provocations- 24 hours before Alkham Khairi picked up his gun the IDF raided Jenin killing 9 Palestinians, and wounding 20 others, ambulances were shot at and prevented from reaching the wounded, and homes and a youth center was bulldozed. A large amount of tear gas was released near a school and hung in the air like a thick carpet, sending children choking to the hospital.

Sometime during or shortly after the raid MK Almog Cohen sent out a message congratulating the IDF on the 9 deaths and urging them to kill more,

This first month of Netanyahu’s far-right regime has seen the deaths of 30 Palestinians killed by the IDF or Israeli settlers, many more injured and arrested, and numerous homes and businesses bulldozed. Then there are the ‘minor’ but just as toxic provocations, for example, National Security Minister handing out awards for the murder of Mohamed Salah. The reappearance of the King’s Torah in a recent article. The Kings Torah, published in 2010, is a book that advocates for the preemptive murder of non-Jews, including babies and children ”since it is clear they will grow to harm us”.Another provocation was an Egged company bus in Jerusalem with an advertisement stating ”The goy has no free will – he waits for the Jew to give him orders”.Another MK Orit Strook has called for the demolishing of hundreds of more Palestinian homes. MK Smotrich has stated that if Palestinians do not accept to live under the yoke of Israel they should either be cleansed from the land (voluntary deportation) or killed (the IDF knows what to do ”in war as in war’). Last but not least MK Ben Gvirs storming of Al Aqsa and his threats to keep doing so.

In the days and weeks before Alkham Khairi picked up his gun and headed to the synagogue, how many times did he feel dehumanized by what he was seeing and hearing? How many funerals had he attended? Was he grieving for a lost friend or a loved one? Why did he choose to attack near a synagogue?

Or perhaps it was revenge for the murder of his grandfather Khayri Alqam, whose name he bore, who was murdered by a zionist settler in Jerusalem in 1998. Wounds run deep in Palestine, and those wounds last for generations.

Grandfather Khayri Alqam

When the news broke of the attack near the synagogue at Neve Yakov, it was reported as the killing of 7-8 settlers and others. Who were these ‘others’ they were speaking of? Located in Neve Yakov is Central Command which is an IDF military base that guards the peak of Ze’ev Neve Ya’akov and the surrounding area. The commander there is responsible for the units and brigades located in the Westbank, Jerusalem, Gush Dan, Sharon, and Shepelah. Neve Yakov is located in occupied East Jerusalem, despite Israeli claims to the contrary that it’s not occupied and is part of Israel, East Jerusalem remains occupied territory pursuant to principles of International Humanitarian Law.

The Israeli media news report sent around the world refers to Alkam Khairi as a terrorist. But according to International Humanitarian Law UNGA resolution 37/43,  which reaffirms “the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle”, he is not. It may never be known exactly why that time and spot were chosen, but the possibility that Alkam Khairi’s target was intended to be the military is a strong one. The Israeli military will most likely not let on whether or not this was the case, or whether any of the victims were their own.

While writing this I have seen a report of a revenge attack by armed Israelis, who shot three Palestinians in Beita, and Netanyahu has made a statement that the cabinet would convene on Saturday, adding, “We have decided on several immediate steps that will begin tonight.”, and so the cycle of violence continues.

Palestine and its Border – From River to the Sea, but what of North to South?

My lovely friend Ream Odetallah provided the most succinct explanation of the meaning “From River to the Sea”that I have ever seen.So many thanks and much love to her for sharing this pearl of knowledge.

In Reams words- “When we say from the River to the Sea, it means Palestine’s historic border, which is the Mediterranean Sea to the west, the Rafah Aqaba Line, which separates it from the Egyptian Sinai from the southwest and the Gulf of Aqaba in the south, the Dead Sea and the Jordan River to the east, the Golan Heights slope near the shores of Tiberias and the northern Jordan River path in the north-east. But what are the 2 Palestinian poles called?

Ras al-Naqoura (North) – Ras al-Naqoura is a natural protected area located to the far south of the coastal plain in southern Lebanon, characterized by rocks that descend into the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.In ancient times, Ras al-Naqoura was along the trade route between civilizations in northern Lebanon, Syria and southern Syria, including in Palestine, Egypt and North Africa, and the majority of the Ras al-Naqoura chain is located within the borders of Palestine, which are a variety of rocks, including limestone, where the sea water over the years has led to the carving of beautiful natural forms in these rocks as these views are located in the Lebanese border area.

Ras al-Naqoura

During World War II, the British forces dug a railway tunnel between Haifa and operated it to Beirut to facilitate the movement of supplies from Egypt to the north. When the British withdrew in 1948, Israeli forces arrested residents of the Ras al-Naqoura area and blew up the railways and bridges in caves to prevent the Lebanese army from invading in this direction. During the Lebanon war, Israel introduced lines of Israeli tanks along the border and prepared to cross jeeps with the United Nations to monitor the movements of peacekeepers in the area. In brief, Israel $tole it and named it Rosh Hankra.

Um al- Rashrash (South)- Um al-Rashrash is a port city on the coast of the Red Sea. To its east is the Jordanian Aqaba and to its west is the Egyptian Taba, a perfect spot for tourism and for Israel to connect to the far east ports. The brief of Um al-Rashrash is 350 people were killed and buried in that land, invaded and renamed then turning into a tourist destination with no relief to the victims’ families until this very day. That is where the international contest of Miss Universe will be held this upcoming December.

Um al-Rashrash

It was not until the year 1952 was it named Eilat. This piece of land was illegally invaded by a Zionist gang that massacred 350 Egyptian soldiers and officers on March 10, 1949 and buried them in a mass grave. Until this very day Likud refuses any investigation to be conducted by the International Court of Justice.”

Legal opinion on status of Sheik Jarrah properties!

A new expert opinion from Ronit Levine-Schnur submitted in the Israeli Supreme court in regards to the Sheikh Jarrah case states that the Jordanian government granted refugee families full property rights in their homes, and even began a process of settling and registering properties in the families’ names, until the procedure was interrupted in the 1967 war.

The opinion presents documents showing how in April 1967 a detailed list of the families and the boundaries of each plot and plot was completed. However, the war that broke out two months later interrupted the settlement proceedings, and the Israeli government never continued them.

The opinion analyzes the legal situation that existed in Jordan and states that the Jordanian government had the authority to grant rights in Jewish property in certain cases, and the opinion shows that Israel also used to grant ownership of similar land.

The opinion analyzes the legal situation in Israel, according to which the governmental actions taken under Jordanian rule are also binding on the Israeli government. And more. The 1970 law, which allows Jews to return property from before 1948 to their owners, does not expropriate the rights granted by the Jordanian government.

During the Knesset debates during the enactment of the law, it was stated regarding property transferred to third parties by the Jordanians: “This house will not be returned.” Israel and should be realized in the framework of settlement procedures as soon as possible.

IINZ-The Latest Disgraceful Offering

The latest disgraceful offering from the IINZ attempts to associate Aotearoa pro Palestinian groups with white supremacist group Action Zealandia, by offering a poll with random statements taken out of context and asking people to guess which “antisemitic” group they came from. While reading the anonymously authored article, I was reminded of a quote from former Knesset Member and Minister of Education of Israel – Shulamit Aloni “Antisemitism its a trick we use.” The article itself mentions everyone from Prime Minster Adern, to well known humanitarian Roger Fowler, vintage activist John Minto to three little old ladies who admin the group Aotearoa Standing for Palestine. But its not the accusations of antisemitism so salaciously slathered around in the article that concerns me most here, its the imagery accompanying it.

So what concerns me about the imagery here????? On the left side we see pictures of Nazi’s that segues into Palestinian activist imagery. On the far right of the image we see a picture of Rouzan al-Najjar.

Let me tell you the story of Rouzan al Najjar. Rouzan was born on the 13th of September 1997, she lived in the village of Khuza, in the Khan Yunis district of Gaza. Her childhood in Gaza, was far from the peaceful childhood we would all wish for our children.From the second intifada, through numerous infamous Israeli operations with names like Cast Lead in 2008, Operation Pillar of Defense 2012, Operation Protective Edge 2014. And of course the immoral siege Gaza has been held under since 2007, not to mention the almost daily attacks, invasions, bombings, drone fly overs etc.

Despite living through war, siege and everything else that Israel throws at the citizens and children of the besieged Gaza enclave, Rouzan grew up into a beautiful well educated young lady, her chosen career nursing.

The 31 of March 2018 was Land Day in Palestine, it was also the first day of the Gaza Border protests, the protests were to carry on weekly. At some point Rouzan made the decision to go and volunteer to help the wounded, interviewed for Lebanon TV she described herself as a “rescuing human shield to protect and save the wounded at the front lines”. On the 1st of June 2018 this lovely 20 year old girl was killed, by an IDF snipers bullet, at the time, she and the other medics she was walking with towards Gaza border fence, had their hands up and were wearing white vests to indicate they were medics, on their way to rescue wounded.

After the killing of Rouzan the IDF refuted the claim she had been deliberately targeted, but not the idea that she may have been killed by a stray bullet. The very same IDF who on the 31st of March 2018 posted a tweet claiming their shooting was accurate and measured and they could account for every bullet.

But this is not where the story of Rouzan Al Najjar ends, because of the international condemnation of this dedicated nurse’s assassination, the IDF released a video purporting to be of Rouzan saying was she ” participating in the protests “as a human shield at the request of Hamas”. It was later found the IDF had doctored the Lebanese interview, as mentioned above, in which Rouzan states she was a “rescuing human shield to protect and save the wounded at the front lines”

Which brings me back to the anonymously authored article posted today on the IINZ website “Can you tell White Supremacists from Anti Israeli Activists”. The IINZ claims to be an independent think tank run by Dr David Cumin, Perry Trotter, and Ashley Church, whose goal is to disseminate to New Zealanders a better understanding of Israel, through accurate analysis, insightful commentary, and effective advocacy. I have to ponder what these lofty ideals have to do with this slanderously, scurrilous propaganda piece, that promotes Nazi imagery and associates it with a young nurse who died never knowing the joy of living in peace, tragically shot by an IDF Sniper, while trying to rescue the wounded. 8 years after her death, Rouzan is still not allowed to rest in peace.

In late February 2019 a published UN investigation into the Gaza Border shootings concluded that the deaths of many dozens of children, two journalist and three medics (including Rousan’s), were possible war crimes as they were easily identifiable targets who posed no threat to the Israelis.

Doctor David Cumin Owes An Apology Or Two!!!

I happened upon this tweet from Dr David Cumin, a senior lecturer at Auckland University and resident Zionist echo chamber here in New Zealand, making a comparison between protests in New Zealand and Israel during a pandemic. What the good doctor fails to mention is that here in New Zealand there has not been a newly diagnosed case of the virus for the past ten days, whereas in Israel there are still 1995 active cases and yesterday 59 newly diagnosed ones. While the situation in Aotea Square was not ideal, one has to wonder why he made the comparison and whether it was necessary.

I might have not taken any more notice of this tweet if I had not read the comments,  but someone called Cerebus noted that the Black Lives Matter Protest in Aotea Square Auckland was attended by members of the Free Palestine Movement. Then David came out with-

“Arab Palestinians pioneered hijacking of aircraft; now they hijack causes. Where there is a racist will, there’s a way to blame Jews”.

The implied racism here comes from the Doctor himself who appears to suggest all Palestinians are racist hijackers, who always find a way to blame Jews,  this in a twitter post whose subject was a Black Lives Matter protest in Aotea Square Auckland.

It appears the good Doctor Cumin,  is ignorant of the historic solidarity between the Black Lives Movement and the Palestinians cause. For example, in 1967 when the SNCC in the USA transformed from a civil rights organisation to a more radical black rights one, it put out a strong statement in support of Palestinian rights,  co-drafted by Stokely Carmichael, who went on to become a revolutionary icon of “Black Power” and Pan-African movements.

Also, the revolutionary Black Panther party issued three official statements on Palestine and the ME  between the years of 1970-80, as well as writing a number of articles and publishing PLO editorials in The Black Panther Intercommunal News Service.

In September 1979, 10 American Black leaders ended a five-day tour of Lebanon, by inviting Yasser Arafat to America, during a late-night meeting with the leader of the PLO, the meeting ended with  Arafat and the Americans arm in arm singing “We Shall Overcome”

As well as, in 2016, The Movement for Black Lives put out a strong-worded statement in regards to Palestine “using the term  “genocide” and “apartheid” to describe Israel’s actions against the Palestinians”, they also condemned the Jewish settlements in the Westbank and the apartheid wall.

Doctor David Cumin owes two apologies, 1- To the Palestinian people for implying they are all hijackers,  who somehow blame the Jews for everything under the sun. 2 – To the Palestinian supporters in Aotea Square, who went to show solidarity for the Black Lives Matters cause,  mutual solidarity that goes back 60 or so years, and to whom he accused of trying to hijack the cause.

Palestine 2020, South Africa1976

I have been to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and I have witnessed the racially segregated roads and housing that reminded me so much of the conditions we experienced in South Africa under the racist system of Apartheid.

Desmond Tutu

Desmond Tutu, the noted civil rights leader who became the first black archbishop of Cape Town, compared Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to the apartheid regime that discriminated against blacks in his native South Africa.

Tutu, the Nobel Peace laureate, told News24, a South African media entity, criticized Israeli policies toward the Palestinians in the territories as “humiliating.”

“I have witnessed the systemic humiliation of Palestinian men, women and children by members of the Israeli security forces,” he said in a statement.

“Their humiliation is familiar to all black South Africans who were corralled and harassed and insulted and assaulted by the security forces of the apartheid government.

Press Release from the Palestine Solidarity Movement Aotearoa- New Zealand government silent on deals with Israel

Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa

20 May 2020

Media Release:

New Zealand government silent on deals with Israel

Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa is accusing the New Zealand government of developing a back-door policy entanglement with the State of Israel.

PSNA says it only discovered that New Zealand had actually signed a Technical, Innovation, Research and Development Agreement with Israel through a Facebook post by the Israeli Embassy.

National Chair, John Minto, says New Zealand Minister, Megan Woods signed the Agreement on 5 March, but kept it totally quiet at the time.

“Normally a major bilateral deal would involve photo opportunities at Parliament and press releases.  On this occasion, with the Israelis, nothing.”

John Minto says he concludes that the government is embarrassed about an increasing set of agreements with Israel.

“They know that they shouldn’t be doing deals when Israel is poised to illegally annex major parts of the Occupied Palestinian Territories.”

“They know they should be breaking off agreements with Israel at this time – not signing new ones.”

John Minto says the previous government delayed signing the New Zealand-Israel Film Coproduction Agreement until 2015, because it thought that signing the Agreement while Israel was attacking Gaza the previous year was ‘not a good look.’

“The current government has never criticised Israeli actions.  Not even in 2018 when Israeli snipers were gunning down unarmed Palestinian protesters through the Israeli blockade fence around Gaza.  And now not when the Israeli government is ready to steal more Palestinian land.”

Respect for international law and the most basic human rights demands New Zealand suspend all bi-lateral agreements with Israel until the threat of annexation is lifted.

An Open Letter To Barry Grossman

Bismillah

Dear Barry Grossman,

I was going to ignore the slanderous accusations you are writing on your Facebook wall about me, but you are also making associated claims about a good friend of mine and that I cannot ignore.

The initial post Janet wrote said-

“I’ve been getting an unusual amount of friend requests recently and have declined most of them after taking a look at their profile. I normally only add those who I have a good number of mutual friends with. I was about to accept this request as we share a number of friends until I saw this pic and thought what about islamophobia! Your views would be appreciated.”

This was the symbol that prompted her to ask a question on her wall, the same symbol that has been used by someone who trolls Palestinian activists and gets them banned from social media.

Barry, my language towards you, may have been a little uncouth after reading your initial uncouth confrontational and rude reply to Janet’s question as to the identity of the person who had made a friend request, but let me remind you, you were the one who swore first –

“ This is not helpful and a bullshit post. You should learn some basic manners Janet Hussain. As an aside, if you want to build a little enclave around yourself preaching to the choir, go right a head but you would do well to consider  that crowing about such a self-aggrandizing approach does not reflect well on you.”

Let me remind you of my reply to you-

“What is bullshit about this post Barry Grossman? With so many undercover maniac Zionists about, Janet has a right to be suspicious, of any indicator. Why are you so butt hurt? The Zionist have a whole freaking IDF war room concentrating on activist’s, we just have ourselves, so questions have to be asked. We who are Jews have to grow a thick skin and realise such comments are not directed at Jews per (se)ssion.”

Now your reply to me, which I chose to ignore, as you made spurious accusations, an ad honimem attack and used even more uncouth language-

“Butt hurt? We who are Jews? What “we” is that and who is talking about Jews here you moron. Take your fake profile picture, your make believe, cultural Islam idiocy and piss off Sandra. Banging on a Hijab doesn’t alone make you a Muslim and if there are infiltrators that need worrying about, then it would seem you are certainly among them.”

So let me reply to you now, I was born an Ashkenazi Jew, raised as having a Jewish heritage. After my Mother refused to make aliyah to Israel in 1967, my father would frequently point to the menorah he kept in the lounge, and say to us “You live in a secular country, but this is your heritage”. As an adult I could find no peace in a religion that was represented by a State that was born on the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. But in studying Islam, after the events of 9/11, I found peace in my soul. Hence my profile pic, which I had to show solidarity with all my Muslim sisters. I do not normally have my face on display but I had been told World hijab day was coming up. I acknowledge I am the world worst Muslim, my language can grow uncouth when someone attack friends, family or my beloved Palestine astigfirullah lazeem.
When I said “We who are Jews have to grow a thick skin and realise such comments are not directed at Jews per (se)ssion.” I said it in regards to the fact that the symbol in question was in relation to Jews, anti semtism etc, a person had mentioned the holocaust in the first comment, my own heritage, and in regards to the many times I have seen Jewish activists for Palestine get upset over something, that was said in regards to “Jewish Zionists”.

Subsequent to my ignoring you, you blocked me, then went to your own wall and created a post that slanders both Janet and I. Where you discuss how you blocked Janet and her lap DOG (myself), because we had been-

“..violating all the conventions of decency and manners…” and “go on to say our advocacy for Palestine is mindless and unthinking by helping Zionists frame a territorial and Islamic cause into a rant framed entirely in Western inspired human rights term does far more damage than good to the cause…”

Then there is this choice tit bit of yours-

“As for Sandra, her profile does not have any pictures of her, …..although her use of language clearly implies that she is just another foul mouthed American slag”

This is the photo that was on my profile and it can be now found in my profile picture album on Facebook. you can see my saggy eye lids and double chin, and scraggly eyebrows because I do not pluck them. The photo also had a Shehab News Agency frame to it.

And this final remark that I shall mention that totally misrepresents what I said to you.-

“That her side kick Sandra’s comment to me saying : “Why are you so butt hurt……… Jew”

You deliberately make it  look like I was casting an anti semitic statement to you, when in fact I said, “We who are Jews have to grow a thick skin and realise such comments are not directed at Jews per (se)ssion.”

How hypocritical of you to be talking about decency and manners, you had sworn at Janet before I ever said anything to you. It was your swearing at a loved activist and my friend that prompted my reply to you in the style that I did.
You clearly lied about me not having a photo of myself on my profile, because you had already seen one, and had spoken about me wearing a hijab. I have subsequently changed my picture but its still me. You tell people I am an “American slag”, another lie, apparently as well as the  claim you are an “international lawyer”,  your also an “expert profiler”. Sorry mate you lied once again, I am definitely not American, epic fail.
You insinuate I am an infiltrator, and that I am damaging the cause. I am not the one appearing on Press TV advocating when it should be a Palestinian speaking, YOU ARE.

I chose to communicate to you through this blog, because in 2015 I had wrote a post about the importance of the authenticity of the Palestinian narrative. All I do for Palestine now, is pass on information, the tiniest cog in a big wheel and I do not presume to be  anything else. You can go, and do and say what ever you want about me, but it will not stop me from daily reposting information in regards to the ethnic cleansing and incremental genocide of the Palestinian people, committed by the Jewish state known as Israel, which claims to represent all Jews. Obviously the biggest lie of all, when it comes to lying because we all know this is not true.

And your worse lie of all, you said Janet was-

“Violating all the conventions of decency and basic manners, she took a screen shot of a friend request a brother in the UAE with 4000+ friends apparently sent to her, and after photoshopping an image she claims to have found on his page somewhere, posted it with comments……”

A quick look at the person in question photos, show that he up loaded the picture himself, because it appears in his profile album so its obvious you are lying yet again Barry. I present you with the screen shot.

 

Finally Barry, your referred to as an “International lawyer” but you certainly do not behave like one. This is my one and only communique to you on the matter, I have read of your past mental health problems. You can choose to say what you like about me I do not care, but please cease and desist in regards to what you are saying about Janet Hussain, her caution about adding someone to her contact list does not deserve the vile slander and allegations you are making about her, she is a good hearted woman, sister and Muslima.

To anyone else reading this, I apologise for having to do this publicly, when I know such events do not help the cause. Barry Grossman chose to block, then publicly malign myself and Janet Hussain, in a  manner where we could not actually defend ourselves. As a lawyer he should know everyone has a right to a defence, he chose not to give that right to us. I have endeavoured to present the events in a clear and  concise manner in the order that they happened with suitable commentary.

And to you Omar al Mahdi, I am sorry you got dragged into such a brouhaha. My sister and friend Janet was being cautious when she saw the symbol displayed on your picture. It had been used by someone actively getting Palestinian activists banned from social media. Also if you had not noticed, it was shaped in the symbol of the Magom David, the symbol that appears on the flag of the Zionist state.

May Allah forgive me if I have written anything wrong here. Amen

 

 

 

Information for Next Fridays “Great March” Gaza

Cover your face!!!!

IMPORTANT ATTENTION
The “Israeli” enemy are taking photos of the protestors at the borderline and observing their facebook accounts to get informations about them.
Then they choose who to targed the operation dont take more than 10 minutes the “israeli” soldiers are sending the pictures to a electronic special force within minutes they are searching for the accounts and look for specific signs like hamas or Islamic jihad flags or posts to support the resistance or even just political posts they have “indicators” to chosse a possible “target”.
Focus at the coming points please:
– It is recommendable to cover your face when you went to the borderfence.
– try not to give much informations through your livestreams or posts don’t mention names of persons or specific and exact places.
– try to bring Mirrors or Alu foil with you the reflection of the mirrors or alufoil will irritate the enemy sniper.
– bring buckets if you can fill them half with water around the prayer area and after the sand barrikade when the enemy drones or soldiers are firing gas grenades put the buckets filled with water over the landet smoke grenade, this will prevent the smoke to spread.
– try to create thick smoke to disrupt the sight of the soldiers.
Dont share just COPY PAST
#friday_borderline_gazastrip
#greatreturnmarch

Also “Important”

A member of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), warned that the Israeli occupation forces would use internationally banned gas during the return march on the Gaza Strip borders next Friday, the ‘Adamsite’ gas, which is one of the most dangerous types of gases, an arsenical derivate which has serious consequences on the lives of participants. Adamsite bombs produce smoke which has the same color of the tires’ smoke when they’re ignited, that characteristic advantages the Zionist army, as the Gaza citizens are preparing to use a large number of tires to ignite them on the border with the Gaza Strip next Friday to distract the snipers.

First Aid
GENERAL INFORMATION: The effects of exposure to vomiting agents under usual outdoor conditions generally are self-limited, disappearing in 20 minutes to 2 hours, and require no specific therapy other than symptomatic relief. Exposure to large concentrations of adamsite (DM), or exposure to adamsite (DM) within an enclosed space or under adverse weather conditions, may result in more severe adverse health effects, serious illness, or death and may require supportive measures for symptomatic complaints of eye, skin, and airway irritation.
ANTIDOTE: There is no antidote for adamsite (DM) toxicity.
EYE:
Immediately remove the patient/victim from the source of exposure.
Immediately wash eyes with large amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes.
Provide symptomatic relief.
Seek medical attention immediately.
INGESTION:
Immediately remove the patient/victim from the source of exposure.
Provide symptomatic relief.
Seek medical attention immediately.
INHALATION:
Immediately remove the patient/victim from the source of exposure.
Evaluate respiratory function and pulse.
Ensure that the patient/victim has an unobstructed airway.
If shortness of breath occurs or breathing is difficult (dyspnea), administer oxygen.
Assist ventilation as required. Always use a barrier or bag-valve-mask device.
If breathing has ceased (apnea), provide artificial respiration.
Gargling may provide symptomatic relief.
Seek medical attention immediately.
SKIN:
Immediately remove the patient/victim from the source of exposure.
May require the use of soothing compounds such as calamine, camphor, or mentholated creams.
See the Decontamination section for patient/victim decontamination procedures.
Seek medical attention immediately.

Long-Term Implications
MEDICAL TREATMENT: A small minority (fewer than 1%) of people will experience serious, prolonged adverse health effects following adamsite exposure. Those seeking medical attention will generally have complaints relating to ocular, airway, and/or skin irritation. Patient/victims with severe or prolonged adverse health effects should be observed until effects abate.
Eyes should be carefully examined for retained foreign bodies and irrigated with water or saline. Use of topical antibiotics and eye solutions to relieve irritation should be used and referral to an ophthalmologist is suggested.
Use of oxygen and bronchodilators (if bronchospasm is present) may be necessary in patients with underlying respiratory disease.
More persistent and severe skin irritation may require the use of soothing compounds such as calamine, camphor, or mentholated creams. Large blisters, if present, should be debrided and irrigated several times daily. Use of a topical dermal antibiotic is recommended.
DELAYED EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE: Not established/determined
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: Information is unavailable about the carcinogenicity, developmental toxicity, or reproductive toxicity of chronic or repeated exposure to adamsite (DM).

 

Tzai Hanegbi threatens “Pogrom”

In a move reminiscent of the Nazi press,  Israeli Regional Cooperation Minister and  close ally of Prime Minister Netanyahu, Tzai Hanegbi threatens a third Nakba aka pogrom.

It brought to my mind a different threat made in another time, in a different century with the same intention in mind, but the intended victims then were the Jews. While the world may not understand the Arabic word nakba, it is more likely to understand the word pogrom, since the word pogrom has been beaten into world consciousness.A pogrom/nakba is the organised destruction of an ethnic group, its literal meaning is devastation.

To fully understand what Hanegbi is threatening,we need to take a look at witness testimony from the first Nakba

Deir Yassin 9/14/1948

…………..whenever the Jews occupied a house, they would blow it up, then direct a call to the inhabitants to flee or face death. Believing the threat, the people left in terror in hopes of saving their children and women. But what should the Stern and Irgun gangs do but rush to mow down whoever fell within range of their weapons. Then, in a picture of barbarism the likes of which humanity has rarely witnessed except on the part of the most depraved, the terrorists began throwing bombs inside the houses in order to bring them down on whoever was inside…..

…………A woman who survived the massacre by the name of Halima Id describes what happened to her sister. She says, “I saw a soldier grabbing my sister, Salihaal-Halabi, who was nine months pregnant. He pointed a machine gun at her neck,then emptied its contents into her body. Then he turned into a butcher, and grabbed a knife and ripped open her stomach to take out the slaughtered child with his iniquitous Nazi knife.”

Biet Daras 21 May 1948

….. after a number of failed attempts to occupy this village, the Zionists mobilized a large contingent and surrounded the village. The people of Beit Daras decided that women and children should leave. As women and children left the village they were met by the Zionist army who massacred them despite the fact that they could see they were women and children fleeing the fighting.

To read more of what close ally of Prime Minister Netanyahu, Tzai Hanegbi  meant when he made his threat,you can find more testimony at Former Israeli commander confesses to razing entire villages during Nakba

To the long suffering people of Palestine, and to the brave courageous defenders of Al Aqsa, the Hanegbi statement is part of a PSY War, a war for your minds. Dont let them win, don’t tolerate metal detectors and being herded like cattle in order to pray. When Hanegbi made that statement he did not factor in that it is now 2017, and the world is well aware of the Zionist perfidy, and that Zionist crime can no longer be hidden. And he has definitely underestimated the support Palestine has.

I began this item with  linking the threat  of Zionist Hanegbi to threats of the Nazis, and then came across the quote below , in the link posted above
