Last Wednesday, Israeli aircraft dropped leaflets over the Gaza Strip, citing the imminent Ramadan fast and calling in them for "tolerance and mercy". The inhabitants of the Strip received this repugnant trickery with indignation. They considered it a sacrilege to have Israel dispatch to them, with its deadly fires, leaflets containing phrases such as: “Feed ...

Nakba from Canada
Palestine, as a place of birth, has disappeared from the new Canadian passport. This is news that social media is buzzing with these days. Instead of it, for Palestinians who have obtained the Canadian citizenship, it now states: “Country of origin not listed”. Before writing these lines, I tried to read about the news, to ...
Read moreBorn in Gaza
It is the title of a documentary, filmed in 2014, that tells the story of ten children from Gaza who, like all their peers, are humiliated by Israel. Mohamed, Udai, Mahmud, Sondos, Rajaf, Malak, Hamada, Montasem, Bisan, Haia. They are all shedding tears and blood. They have all been broken by death… The film, to ...
Read moreVictory of Gaza
Much has been said about Israel's criminality in word and deed. Wars are waged with weapons of all kinds, iron and fire, and maneuvers of speech and other things. Listen, for instance, to their President, Isaac Herzog, saying: “There are no innocent people in Gaza”; or their Defense Minister Yoav Gallant describing the people of ...
Read moreSila’s Wishes
I read tardily the wishes of little Sila. The criminals' bombardment reached her before her wishes got to be discovered. Who can convince the “state” of hatred, which imagines that God is with it, that it does not commit crimes against anyone as it commits crimes against God? Nothing is dearer to God's heart than ...

Is the story of peace in the land of peace a theatrical play, as “Nizar” said? I do not like myself when I step into poets’ poems. However, had I had a say with him, I would not have let him sell his mother’s ring “for a gun”! His weapon is sharper, his weapon is ...

This is the title of a documentary that tells the stories of people who had left the Hasidic Jewish movement. Hasidim, for those who do not know it, is a closed movement that arose in Eastern Europe in the 18th century, and its followers fled from Nazism to Brooklyn, America. Several motives led me to ...
Read moreThe Nature of Israel
I am trying to understand the nature of this usurping entity that does not respect anything good in this existence, neither an eye that sees, nor an elderly person or a child…, that seeks to annihilate everyone who disagrees with it, everyone who has another word to say. It claims that its most precious inheritance ...
Read moreWar of the World
A few days ago, Netanyahu threatened to eradicate Lebanon. Has Israel begun to implement the so-called “map of the new Middle East”? There is a primordial question. A country that was founded, on usurpation, with global support, is it resuming its wars singlehandedly? Also few days ago, the president of France said: “Israel has the ...
Read moreThe Usurping Entity
When “entity” is said about a homeland, what is meant would be a land with well-known borders, as well as political, economic, and other constituent elements… But the phrase entitled here, with which we describe Israel, does not recognize that the territory it inhabits is an entity, but rather tells the story of the spiteful ...
