Discrimination in East Jerusalem

Periods of war are exceptional times, during which it is perfectly understandable that governments would place certain restrictions on the population. When there is danger to the public from rockets, drones or flying debris, officials understandably prefer that large gatherings be avoided. In normal emergencies, in normal countries, this is reasonable and acceptable. But in the case of East Jerusalem, the Israeli government takes the issue to an exaggerated, maximum degree. It uses the war situation to punish the Palestinian population, using the justification that they are simply trying to protect them. The Old City of Jerusalem is home to more than 30,000 Palestinians. It is also the main shopping area for much of the city as a whole, the population of which numbers over 300,000. The Old City is also home to the cradles of world religions. While the Israeli-initiated war on Iran has raged this past week, Israel unilaterally closed the Old City of Jerusalem to everyone except those who can prove, with ID cards, that they have a local address. In addition, Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre were closed by Israeli security orders. On the surface, these might appear to be prudent and natural actions to protect the population. But when one realizes that other large shopping areas, such as West Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda, have remained open, it becomes clear that this is a punitive measure and not a genuine effort to protect people. Regarding the holy places, again, if the policy had been applied to all religious sites, one would concede that it was a decision reached out of caution. But when it becomes clear that the Buraq Wall, also known as the Western Wall, which is a holy site to Jews, has remained open during this period (although few people have visited it), one concludes that the closure of the other sites is not a simple security decision but an unacceptable, prejudicial action based on ethnic and religious discrimination. Furthermore, Israeli security officials, using the war-like atmosphere as an excuse, have been bullying local muezzins (those who call Muslims to prayer) to considerably reduce the volume of their daily calls or even stop them altogether. The Palestinians of Jerusalem have no one to defend them. Daoud Kuttab In addition to the closures of public spaces and the discrimination against the entire Old City of Jerusalem, Israeli police have been acting in a discriminatory manner against pedestrians. Anyone spotted filming with a cellphone is harassed and ordered to surrender the device so that officers can check whether they have liked any social media posts that might be deemed to indicate support for Iran. In one incident, a Palestinian child and a young man were shot in the A-Tur neighborhood of the city. The Palestinians of Jerusalem, unfortunately, have no one to defend them, or to plead with the government that collects their taxes to provide compensation for the merchants of the Old City for the large losses they are suffering, or at least to suspend the Arnona municipal property tax. Since the sudden death of Faisal Al-Husseini in Kuwait in 2001, Palestinians in Jerusalem have not been able to organize and unite under any single leader or spokesperson, and so there has been no representative or leadership in a position to lobby for them. Of course, the Israelis make the most of this leaderless reality for Palestinians in the city, and fight tooth and nail against any nationalist efforts in Jerusalem. Orient House, which served as the headquarters for Al-Husseini and his Arab Studies Society, was seized by Israeli authorities following his death and has remained closed for more than two decades as a result of a recurring six-month order. Other local organizations, including the chamber of commerce and the tourism union, are also regularly closed. Cultural centers that attempt to organize any public events that Israeli authorities deem to have nationalistic undertones or to be connected, directly or indirectly, with the Palestinian government in Ramallah are automatically shut down by order of the Israeli police. Even events such as a children's puppet festival at the Hakawati Theatre, a screening of a documentary about the drug problem East Jerusalemites are facing, or a graduation ceremony sponsored by a local club, have been suddenly canceled on the orders of the Israeli army, using nearly century-old British Mandate emergency regulations. Despite all of these concerted Israeli efforts, and following a public protest in the form of a statement issued by a nongovernmental organization in Jerusalem criticizing the closure of the holy sites, on Thursday the Israelis finally permitted Muslim worshippers to attend prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, albeit a mere 450 of them. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre also finally reopened on Tuesday to a handful of local Christian worshippers, and the Catholic Latin Patriarch was allowed to hold religious ceremonies, though they were attended by only a few. While the situation has slowly, through the force of public pressure, started to return somewhat to normal, there is no doubt that the ways in which Israeli authorities deal with the Palestinians of Jerusalem and the Jewish Israelis of Jerusalem are totally different.

Netanyahu Uses Iran Conflict to Stay in Office Forever: Former US President Clinton

Former US President Bill Clinton said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was using war against Iran as a way to stay in power for good, according to Arab News. 'Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran because that way he can stay in office forever and ever. I mean, he's been there most of the last 20 years,' Clinton stated during an appearance on 'The Daily Show'. Clinton also said he urged US President Donald Trump to 'defuse' the ongoing war between Israel and Iran and put an end to the 'outright constant killing of civilians.' In the same context, he mentioned that he did not believe that either Netanyahu or Trump want to create a full-scale regional war. Apart from this, he noted that it is significant for the US to protect its allies but at the same time he called for restraint. 'We have to convince our friends in the Middle East that we'll stand with them and try to protect them,' he stated. Moreover, he underscored that embarking on undeclared wars that primarily destroy civilians 'is not a very good solution.' Importantly, Clinton stated that the US has stayed out of direct intervention in the Israeli Iranian tensions. However, it has provided Israel with military equipment and helped it intercept missiles from Tehran.

Houthis Threaten to Target U.S. Ships in the Red Sea if America Attacks Iran

The Houthi group announced in a military statement on Saturday its readiness to target American ships and warships in the Red Sea if the United States becomes involved in any military attack alongside Israel against Iran. The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said in a statement issued Saturday afternoon—viewed by Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni—that the group 'will not stand idly by' in the face of any American-Israeli aggression targeting Iran. He stated that 'any U.S. military involvement in support of the Zionist enemy falls within a broader scheme to impose dominance over the region and strip its peoples of their freedom and dignity.' إقرأ ايضا مليشيا الحوثي تُعدّ خططًا سرية لإعادة تأهيل قدراتها التقنية مليشيات الحوثي تفقد تماسكها… هل نحن أمام بداية النهاية؟ The statement added that Houthi forces are closely monitoring all military movements in the region, including what it described as 'hostile actions against Yemen,' and that the group 'will take all necessary legitimate measures to defend the country and its people,' according to the statement. Saree also reaffirmed the group's alignment with the 'resistance forces in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria,' and said Yemen 'will stand by any Arab or Muslim country subjected to Zionist aggression or that decides to confront it in self-defense.' The statement concluded by declaring that the Houthis 'will not abandon the Palestinian people' and 'will not allow the Israeli entity, backed by the U.S., to carry out its plans in the region.' Meanwhile, the Presidential Leadership Council in Yemen's interim capital, Aden, has warned the Houthis against dragging Yemen into a devastating regional war. The statement comes amid growing anticipation of potential U.S. military intervention aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear program. Earlier today, the U.S. military website The Aviationist reported that two squadrons of B-2 strategic stealth bombers departed Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and are currently en route to Guam in the Pacific Ocean. The report did not mention any deployment of bombers to Diego Garcia, as had occurred in previous operations targeting the Houthis. It's worth noting that U.S. President Donald Trump announced in early May that a deal had been reached with the Houthis—requested by the group via Oman—under which the Houthis would halt their attacks in the Red Sea in exchange for a cessation of American airstrikes on the group and areas under its control. ملحوظة: مضمون هذا الخبر تم كتابته بواسطة المشهد اليمني , ولا يعبر عن وجهة نظر حضرموت نت وانما تم نقله بمحتواه كما هو من المشهد اليمني ونحن غير مسئولين عن محتوى الخبر والعهدة على المصدر السابق ذكرة.
