Military Court in Hebron Sentences Civilian to Death
PCHR Urges President not to Ratify Sentence
On Tuesday, 28 April 2009, the Special Palestinian Military Court at the
Military Justice Headquarters in Hebron sentenced Anwar Mahmoud Mohammed
Ereghith, 59, from 'Ummar village in the north of Hebron, to death on
charges of treason and selling Palestinian lands to Israel. The defendant
was arrested and detained by the General Palestinian Intelligence Service
approximately seven months ago.
According to data available at the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights
(PCHR), the "Special" Palestinian Military Court at the Military Justice
Headquarters in Hebron initially reviewed the case on 21 April 2009. The
case is the first of its kind to be brought before the Military Justice in
Hebron. The defendant was charged with treason on the basis of "spying and
stealthily passing lands to Israelis". On Tuesday, 28 April 2009, the Court
delivered its final verdict. Brigadier General Judge Abdul Karim Mousa
al-Masri chaired the Justice Committee, which included Lieutenant Colonel
Judge Mehrez 'Eitani and Lieutenant Colonel Judge Nabil Jaber.
The Court sentenced Anwar Mahmoud Mohammed Ereghith to death by hanging, in
accordance with Article 131/1 of the Revolutionary Penal Code of the
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) of 1979, Article 4 of Law no. 30 for
the year 1973 relative to the prevention of selling property to the enemy,
Article 2 of the Unified Code to Boycott Israel no. 10 for the year 1958,
Article 2 of the Act on Trade with Israel no. 766 for the year 1953, taking
into consideration subsequent amendments made to the Jordanian codes and
Article 486 of the Revolutionary Penal Code for the year 1979.
The defendant was sentenced to death and is prevented from settling his
movable and immovable assets (as long as he is alive). The verdict was as
follows: "By the name of Allah and by the name of the Palestinian people,
the sentence was passed unanimously and explicitly consented. It is not
subject to any form of appeal at all (Article 247/b Military Rules 79). It
is subject to ratification by President Mahmoud 'Abbas "Abu Mazen", the
President of the State of Palestine and the Supreme Commander of the Forces".
PCHR notes that the 1979 Revolutionary Penal Code of the PLO is
unconstitutional within the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) as it has
not been presented to, nor approved by, the legislature. PCHR has repeatedly
called for its abolition as it violates international standards of fair
trial and does not include fair and independent mechanisms of appeal.
PCHR is extremely concerned over the continued application of the death
penalty in the PNA controlled areas, and therefore:
- Calls upon the PNA to announce an immediate moratorium on the use of this
death penalty, which violates international human rights standards and
instruments, especially the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948),
the Covenant of Civil and Political Rights (1966), and the UN Convention
against Torture (1984).
- Calls upon Palestinian President Mahmoud 'Abbas not to ratify these cruel
and inhumane sentences, and to prevent its implementation.
- Reiterates that abolishing the death penalty does not imply leniency
towards dangerous criminals, who must be subjected to punishment that acts
as a deterrent but also maintains human dignity.
- Calls upon the PNA to review all legislation relative to the death
penalty - particularly Law No. 74 (1936) that remains in effect in the Gaza
Strip, and the Jordanian Penal Code No. 16 (1960) that remains in effect in
the West Bank - and to enact a unified penal code that conforms to the
spirit of international human rights instruments, especially those
pertaining to the abolition of the death penalty.

Arab Author Says Arab Culture Has Deteriorated to Zero
by Baruch Gordon
In all honesty, the Arabs are backward, and are not fit for civilization at all. I am not referring to history. I am talking about the Arabs of today. I'm not talking about the Arabs of the past, in the days of the Islamic conquests. I am talking about the Arabs of today. They have lost their Arab identity, and have begun to export shawarma, falafel, and lupin beans to Europe, and they purport to be bringing something Arab to Europe.

The saudi plan even 10 years ago wouldn't have been possible. The problem is whatever this author says they have been gaining a more united arab identity.
They have seen that saying the right things with a united voice gets the west and Israels left say hey the arabs want to be our friends so lets give them what they want.
This arab unity and there talks about peace remind me of Neville Chamberlin and where he met Mr Hitler gave away Sudatenland because Hitler promised he didn't want anything else after than and we had peace in our time.
Next thing you know Nazi soilders are murdering jews in Poland.
The only culture the palestinians have is we are all refugees no matter where they live our decendents will be refugees until Israel is replaced with an arab state.

Algerian Author Anwar Malek: The Arabs Have Lost Their Worth, Their Humanity, and Their Culture | |
| Following are excerpts from an interview with Algerian author Anwar Malek, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on March 3, 2009: Interviewer: 73% of our viewers believe that the Arabs constitute a great power, and have ability to be influential, and so on. [...] Anwar Malek: This figure indicates that the Arabs are afflicted with fantasies and obsolete bravado. Interviewer: False bravado. Anwar Malek: False, empty bravado, which does no good to anybody. The Arabs invented, or discovered, the zero – but what did they do with it? Some of them sat on it, some put it on their heads, while others wore it around their waists, and began shaking their hips, their bellies, and their breasts, in order to sell to the world the idea that modern Arabs are doing something. Today, the Arabs constitute nothing but thousands of zeros to the left... The Arabs have lost their worth, their humanity, their culture, and everything. There is nothing to suggest that the Arabs can be relied upon to produce anything. This false bravado is deeply rooted in the Arabs to an unimaginable degree. It is so deeply rooted that the Arabs believe they can go to the moon. If you asked your viewers whether the Arabs would be able to reach the moon by 2015, they would say: "Yes, the Arabs will get to the moon." By Allah, the Arabs will not go more than a few hundred kilometers from their doorsteps. These are empty words. In all honesty, the Arabs are backward, and are not fit for civilization at all. I am not referring to history. I am talking about the Arabs of today. I'm not talking about the Arabs of the past, in the days of the Islamic conquests. I am talking about the Arabs of today. They have lost their Arab identity, and have begun to export shawarma, falafel, and lupin beans to Europe, and they purport to be bringing something Arab to Europe. Interviewer: Civilization. Anwar Malek: They call it civilization. [...] The Arab rulers are a reflection of the people. The Arab rulers did not come down from Mars or from the sun. They emerged from among the people, and share the same beliefs. If you placed any Arab citizen in power... I challenge any Arab citizen, who may become a ruler, to do anything beyond what the current Arab leaders are doing. There is no difference between the Arab rulers and the Arab peoples. All those who are called "Arabs" are one and the same. [...] Interviewer: Look what small resistance movements have achieved, by means of very primitive weapons, in confronting aggressors and enemies. Can you deny this? This completely refutes what you say. Anwar Malek: What resistance are you talking about? If you are talking about the resistance of Hizbullah – Hizbullah has destroyed Lebanon, in the framework of a Persian conspiracy. I say this point blank. As for the resistance in Palestine – they are defending themselves. They are a group of people defending themselves from attacks from all directions. What did they achieve? Did they defeat or destroy Israel? I consider it a miracle when someone manages to even defend himself. The reality of the Arabs is one of defeat, hitting rock bottom... We are defeated, politically and militarily.. . and economically, socially, and even psychologically. We have a discourse of conspiracy, and we blame everything on others. [...] Interviewer: Take Egypt, for example. What does Egypt – that superpower – have to offer? I ask you, what does Egypt have to offer? Anwar Malek: Nothing. It is incapable of doing anything. It has nothing but lupin beans – and I say this in complete irony. It is incapable of doing anything. It lives off American aid. Without it, they would starve. [...] Egypt is incapable of waging war, strategically and militarily. It is incapable of doing anything. Interviewer: Didn't Egypt win several wars? Anwar Malek: No. The 1973 war was not a victory. It was another defeat. Interviewer: It didn't win the war? Anwar Malek: No. It was followed by the Camp David accords a few years later. It did not win the war. No Arab country has won a war in modern times. There has been no victory worthy of mention. All we have are defeats, which we package as victories. [...] Look at how the Arabs live in the West. By Allah, they are a bad example. If you hear about thieves – they are always Arabs. Whenever a young man harasses a girl on the streets of London or Paris, he turns out to be an Arab. All the negative moral values are to be found in the Arab individual. | |
Yishai vows to settle Jews in east Jerusalem
Interior minister tells Jews who purchased property in Silwan village
that they have right to land because 'City of David is bedrock of our
existence'; PA official retaliates: 'Israeli gov't is gov't of
settlers'

Interior Minister Eli Yishai said Sunday that he was developing a
plan to settle Jews in the City of David in Jerusalem. "The City of
David and everywhere in Jerusalem that was the origin of our growth is
our sovereign right," he said
Yishai was speaking at a meeting with Jewish entrepreneurs who had
purchased property in the east Jerusalem village of Silwan. In
response, a Palestinian official said Israel's
<http://www.ynetnews .com/articles/ 0,7340,L- 3284752,00. html>
government was "a government of settlers and settlements". Yishai
spoke ahead of a Jerusalem Municipality meeting set to determine
construction plans for the City of David. He promised to create a
Jewish settlement alongside the Palestinian ones in the area. The plan
is a step away from former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's
<http://www.ynetnews .com/articles/ 0,7340,L- 3283691,00. html%20>
policy, which tended towards the relinquishing of certain areas of
Jerusalem. "Now that I have been appointed responsible for the
Interior Ministry I plan to go for the City of David with full force,"
Yishai told the Jewish land-owners. "Every construction plan that
comes must include Jewish settlement and an extensive tourism
venture." He added, "The City of David is the bedrock of our
existence, the land of our sovereignty, and Jewish settlement there is
our right." However the interior minister also said he would aim to
organize construction plans for Palestinians in the City of David as
well as those of the Jewish land-owners.
'Yishai's announcement silly'
In response an advisor to Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad
told Ynet that "this proves the current government in Israel is a
government of settlers and settlements, and not a government of
negotiation".
Khatem Abed al-Kader went on to call Yishai's announcement "silly and
dangerous", and said that they would have profound effects on
Jerusalem's status quo. "The Palestinian residents of Silwan are not
just going to sit by," he said.
He accused the Jewish entrepreneurs of illegally overtaking
Palestinian land. "Everything is illegal and even the claims of Jewish
artifacts in the area have never been proven. That's why the Israelis
have gone from finding artifacts to producing them," he said.
Kader said all of east Jerusalem was Palsetinian land. "Yishai should
get the term 'unified Jerusalem' out of his head because it is not and
will never be unified," he added, calling on the international
community to "consider this government a criminal government whose
policy violates international laws and agreements".

Oren: Israel won't allow nuclear Iran
Presumed incoming ambassador to the US Michael Oren said Sunday that
Israel will not allow a nuclear Iran and that the Jewish state is
committed to peace.

"Israel will not remain passive while a government that's sworn to
wipe it off the map acquires the means for doing that," said Oren of
the notion of a nuclear-armed Iran.
The Princeton-educated historian was speaking before he had received
official word of the appointment and following an appearance at the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference here.
Though Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has so far declined to
endorse a Palestinian state, leading many in the international
community to accuse Israel of not wanting peace, Oren insisted that
Israel wanted to find means for coexistence with surrounding Arab
entities.

"This government is a serious partner for peace and will do its
utmost to reconcile with all of our neighbors," he said, noting that
he was talking as a private citizen. Even so, he added, Israel's
security needs must always come first.
He said that should he be chosen for the ambassadorship, he would be
"delighted and honored" to serve.
As an American national, it is expected that Oren would have to
renounce his US citizenship to accept the post. He indicated that he
was willing to do so, and said his US background would be "an asset"
because "it helps me read America."
Oren saw combat as a paratrooper in the First Lebanon War and
continued to serve in the reserves, acting as an IDF spokesman during
the Second Lebanon War and Operation Cast Lead.
He is a senior fellow at Jerusalem's Shalem Center policy center, and
a visiting professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign
Service for the 2008-2009 academic year as part of the faculty
associated with the Program for Jewish Civilization.

Israel's Air & Missile Forces Could Wipe out Iran's Nuclear Sites
DEBKA-Net-Weekly Exclusive Updated by DEBKAfile
April 15, 2009
The detailed report compiled by the Center for Strategic &
International Studies (CSIS) in Washington last month, complete with
graphs and diagrams, has been reprinted in thousands of copies in
Tehran. It is compulsory reading for its intelligence and
Revolutionary Guards personnel because the Study on a Possible Israeli
Strike on Iran's Nuclear Development Facilities concludes that the
Jewish state has all the resources necessary for a successful strike.
When asked recently, Adm. Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint US
Chiefs of Staff, agreed with this estimate. This week, president
Shimon Peres and prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu both said that if
diplomacy failed to halt Iran's nuclear activities, Israel would be
left with no option other than the military one. And Tuesday, April
14, the New York Times quoted an Israeli official as saying that
Jerusalem would give the Obama administration until late 2009 to stop
Iran's uranium enrichment projects; after that, Israel will be forced
to act.
Tehran responded with a complaint to the UN Security Council
demanding that Israel be condemned for "its threats against a
sovereign state."
For the past three years, US military and intelligence sources have
used attributed and leaked assessments to the American media to
emphasize that such an operation is beyond Israel's capabilities
because of the nuclear facilities' wide distribution across Iran. At
best, they maintained, the Israeli Air Force might knock out a few
Iranian nuclear installations, but only enough to put Iran's nuclear
drive temporarily on hold.
The CSIS paper refutes this assessment and maintains there is no need
to destroy dozens or hundreds of sites; the destruction of seven to
nine targets would be enough to cripple the Iranian program, and lists
them as follows:
1. Lashkar A'bad, site of secret uranium enrichment plants in the
north near the Turkish border.
2. Tehranb, for the central laboratory for developing atomic
armaments as well as more uranium enrichment facilities.
3. Arak, in central Iran, where a heavy water plant is under
construction to manufacture plutonium for weapons.
4. Isfahan, in central Iran, near which a small research reactor and
a cluster of laboratories for uranium enrichment, centrifuges and
weapons development, are situated.
5. Natanz, the main center for uranium enrichment.
6. Ardekan, at the southern tip of Iran, where more uranium
enrichment facilities are located.
7. Saghand, Iran's main uranium mining region.
8. Bushehr, on the Persian Gulf shore, Iran's biggest nuclear reactor
built by Russia.
9. Gachin, near the Strait of Hormuz, the site of more uranium mines
and enrichment facilities.
Complicated tables set forth an array of technical details showing
how many PG bombs Israeli Air Force F16I or F15F bomber-fighter planes
can carry, how much fuel is needed to reach their Iranian targets, and
at what stage of their return journey they would need to refuel.
This think tank finds Israel has enough aircraft as well as the
necessary intelligence and electronic resources for the task -
contrary to previous estimates.
The authors propose three attack routes for a potential Israeli
operation against Iran: an eastern route over Saudi Arabia; a central
route over Iraq, and a northern route over Turkey, Syria and northern
Iraqi Kurdistan. They point to the third as Israel's best option in
view of the superiority of its electronic warfare (EW) capabilities.
This is the first time a detailed and accurate description of these
capabilities, and a description of how they were put to use in the
Israeli raid on the North Korean-built plutonium reactor in Dar
az-Zawr, Syria, on September, 2007, has ever been published.

Police said the attacker followed the soldier as he was getting off a
No. 67 bus, before stabbing him and fleeing the scene.
The soldier was rushed to Tel Aviv's Sourasky Medical Center
(Ichilov).
"The motive for the attack is unclear at this stage," a Tel Aviv
police spokesman told The Jerusalem Post. "We don't yet know what the
background is. We do have a description of the suspect and we have
launched a hunt for him."
"All lines of inquiry are being followed," Tel Aviv police said in a
statement.
Large police forces were searching for the suspect, with a police
helicopter taking part.
Dozens of Palestinians in Israel illegally were arrested in the Tel
Aviv area following the attack, a police source told the Post.
Immediately after the stabbing, eyewitnesses reported hearing screams
from near the back door of the bus, and then seeing a soldier with a
knife sticking out of his neck.
There does not appear to have been a dispute between the two before
the assault. The attacker reportedly has a "Middle Eastern"
complexion.
Magen David Adom paramedics reported treating the soldier for a stab
wound to his neck, under his ear. The victim was fully conscious, they
added.
