Crimes of Morocco ... Victims suffering in different forms













Many complain of rampant crime in Morocco. Citing many images and videos documenting theft and assault on people and property, and demanding greater security protection through the intensification of the punishment of criminals. Threats reduce police importance

In Morocco, the media and social media have raised a large number of cases of aggression and various crimes committed in the country. Show photos and videos of theft, snatching and violence that could amount to murder. However, the Ministry of the Interior confirms that crimes have not increased in society, as they are more documented and promoted, giving it momentum in the eyes of citizens.

According to the official statistics of the Moroccan Ministry of the Interior, the crime rate in the country does not exceed the level of all forms 21 cases per thousand citizens annually. The ministry points out that this rate is one of the lowest rates not only in the region but also globally. At the same time, the Nambio World Statistics website reports that Morocco ranks 43rd in the world on the Global Crimes Index, which is not good, and Morocco is among the six Arab countries with the highest rates of crime.

If many people stop at the commission of the crime in all its colors and categories, and in the manner in which they took place, and the losses caused by the criminal or deviant, few accompany the victim of the crime, and how to live its days after the accident, and how the community deals with it and how to deal with the surrounding family Relatives and neighbors. It is a psycho-social issue in which the ability of the victim to reintegrate into society is reconciled with the view of others and may be isolated or incapable of confrontation according to the type of harm suffered.


Abdel Wafi, a 20-year-old man, was assaulted a few weeks ago by a teenager. The latter stabbed him with a knife several times in the face, as he intended to slaughter without the intervention of passers-by. It was after Abdul Wafi refused to give him what he had in his pocket, as he tried to resist him, and his share was many stitches, which forced the doctor to cover the many wounds in the face of the young man who was the victim of an armed conflict.

The social media was overwhelmed with the pictures of the young victim, and the news went to the Moroccan Parliament to talk about the spread of crime, but the young victim himself was soon forgotten, and no one talked about him or cared about his health and how he faced the stage after being attacked, Multiply. Abdel Wafi's brother talks about that stage to the "new Arab" and says that his brother was polite and gentle and does not make any quarrel with anyone, but since the distortion of his face those strikes became more prone to violence and nervousness, and no longer can not talk to him other than what it was in the past .

The spokesman continued that the behavior of his brother the victim changed to the point of shocked his family and acquaintances and friends, he began to go out to the neighborhood and deliberately hurt others, and attacking them because or without him, and covered his face Baltham and try to steal strangers from the neighborhood, which led to many problems caused. Abdel Wafi's brother expresses his regret, because no one cared about the effects of his psychological and social assault, which led him to change his behavior by attacking his attacker until he took the same role. He found himself unable to do harm without harm.

The psychiatrist Mohammed Shibun, referring to the "new Arab" turning this victim from a peaceful young man to an aggressive young man after being wounded in the face, to the lack of self-esteem, especially on the psychological level, has been seen as a face of any criminal, In it are scars left by the blows of the knife. Explains that the face of the human being, especially the adolescent or young man at the beginning of his life, is considered an external mirror through which to look at the community, and see others through it, and therefore the changing features of Abdul Wafi, who may have been a lot of care, like other young people, The form, the fact that he has a tendency to violence resulting from his inability to defend himself and avoid blows to the knife, thus emptying that negative psychological charge by hurting others as a kind of reaction coming from the unconscious.

Rachida Makhlouf, a teacher at an educational institution in Casablanca, has recently been hit by a knife by one of her former students. She is afraid of her shadow after what happened to her, especially since the attack was surprising. Her face increased her shock.

According to Makhlouf, she does not know how to return to teaching and meet her students after the incident of assault, and she is afraid of anyone who goes by her side, which is explained by Shibun as a natural psychological reaction that occurs after the sudden attack, which controls the fear of the victim, The consequences of the length of this period on the character of the victim and his life in general.

Moroccan society does not forget the story of the minor girl Amina Filali, who was forced to marry her rapist ten years earlier. She committed suicide after suffering a serious psychological suffering that made her unable to live in a society that she considered her wrong twice, the first when she was raped and the second when forced by her family to marry by raping her In the aftermath of the scandal, the tragic result was suicide.

A 13-year-old girl, followed by a videotape, was raped by a rape victim. The victim did not find the face of her surroundings, her family and the neighbors' comments, even though she was an innocent victim, to flee to an unknown destination. She tried to commit suicide more than once, before being rescued by activists from some associations and able to return them to her family.


Shippon advises victims who are beaten, attacked with white weapons, robbed, harassed, or even attempted to kill, to resort to psychotherapy services as much as possible, so that the negative charge generated within them does not control their thinking and behavior and leads to self-harm or the desire to attack Others, retaliation from society, or isolationism and living in isolation and fear reaching the point of illness.

Israel's black history is present in Netanyahu's visit to India













The history of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to India, which began on Sunday and lasts for six days, seeks to strengthen relations between the two sides and strengthen the presence of his country there, but his efforts clash with the history of Israel Black in its dealings with India, Conference "Indian opposition Rahul Gandhi, to take a sudden decision to reject the meeting of the Israeli Prime Minister.

Gandhi's refusal to meet was due to India's accusation of Israel's attempt to assassinate late Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1960. Nehru was then prime minister and the Israeli occupation tried to target him during his visit to Gaza through his warplanes, Indian historians and experts say.

Moments after Netanyahu's plane landed at Delhi airport, the "Congress" party on Twitter criticized what he called the "embrace diplomacy" of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who greeted his Israeli counterpart at the airport with great hospitality. But Indian diplomatic circles in favor of rapprochement with Israel were quick to criticize Rahul Gandhi's decision.

 "Rahul Gandhi's decision is a short-sighted strategic step that could affect the national consensus on Israel," said India's Indian Express, an expert on India-Israel relations at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, PR Kumaraswamy. "He said.

Some also mentioned Sonia Gandhi, the former president of the Congress party and the widow of Rajiv Gandhi and Rahul's mother, in 2003 when Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon visited India. They considered Rahul Gandhi's decision not to meet Netanyahu as a "stark contrast" to what his mother had done in the past.

Referring to the Indian accusations of the Israeli occupation of the attempted assassination of Jawaharlal Nehru, the author of the event, Vijay Prashad, told the frontline magazine, "Nehru was at the headquarters of the United Nations Emergency Force in Gaza.

A United Nations aircraft boarded from Gaza in 1960. In the air, Israeli fighters intercepted his aircraft within what the Israeli army later claimed was one mile inside Israeli territory. "" There is no description of this event, but one should assume that it was not far away What often happened to the United Nations aircraft flying over Gaza. "Nehru had gone to Gaza and met with the United Nations Emergency Force, whose commander at the time was an Indian general.


"When Nehru returned to India, during a meeting of the Indian Parliament on August 1, 1960, he spoke of how Israeli fighter jets had chased the UN aircraft into the air, saying that this action was unjustified because the Israeli authorities were aware of the visit To Gaza ".

 "Nehru was able to use these details to explain why India had to think seriously before making a decision to establish normal relations with Israel. When the issue of sending an ambassador to Israel was raised on 22 December 1960, Nehru said that this issue is very complex In important and serious international issues, including the lack of respect for the Indian prime minister. "

The historical tension between India and Israel does not depend on this incident, but the name of Israeli intelligence Mossad emerged in the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, the father of Rahul Gandhi, in 1991. The final report of the commission of inquiry into the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi focused on a conspiracy International relations, and the relationship between the Central Intelligence Agency, the Mossad and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.

In a July 20, 1998 report, the report of the Commission of Inquiry indicated a major international conspiracy, involvement of foreign intelligence agencies, and leaders of some extremist Sikh organizations in the assassination. The report revealed that they had actively cooperated with the LTTE and key Indian personnel in the immediate period leading up to the assassination.


The report mentioned a telegram dated September 11, 1991, sent by the Indian ambassador in Tunis to the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which contained a key memorandum from Yasser Arafat. According to the cable, "Arafat had information that Rajiv Gandhi's enemies would use the election period to get rid of him, and Arafat obtained this information from inside Israel and his European sources." These sources pointed out that the Tamil Tigers and the Sikhs would try to harm Gandhi, , Hostile forces from outside India may also try. "

As mentioned in the final report of the Commission of Inquiry, a recorded memorandum on the conversation between the then Indian Foreign Minister, Mochkond Dubi, and the Palestinian Ambassador to India, dated 6 June 1991, stated: "The Palestinian Ambassador told me that they saw the movement of Mossad agents in India, He said that if one was looking for a link, it was the link between the CIA, the Mossad and the LTTE. "

"Advisor" Ben Zayed George Nader: a message carrier between Assad and Israel and Muhammed Khomeini










The mystery of the American-Lebanese character is George Nader, an aide to Steve Bannon, a former strategic adviser to US President Donald Trump, but that does not diminish the seriousness of the roles he played during his decades-long travels between Washington, DC and the Middle East capitals of Tel Aviv To Damascus and Tehran.

The character of the intelligence man over a rare character despite his declared activity in the media, consulting and public relations, where he believes his relationship with the "Mossad" Israeli and Israeli pressure groups in the United States.

During the 1990s, Nader, who has a good relationship with the Syrian regime, and with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu played a role in conveying messages between Damascus and Tel Aviv that paved the way for rounds of secret negotiations between the two sides.

 Middle East Insight, published in collaboration with the University of College of William and Mary, whose name is particularly associated with the CIA and US government institutions in general, organized a conference on the peace process in 1998, in which Martin Indyk, former US ambassador In Israel and former envoy to the Middle East peace process, and one of the most prominent symbols of the Israeli lobby in Washington.

During the 1980s George Nader was famous for his articles after his visit to Tehran in 1987 and his stay near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in a session attended by senior officers of the Revolutionary Guard and Lebanese Hezbollah. These articles praised Khomeini, describing the composure of the Iranian leader and his steady steps as he walked.

In 2002, George Nader held a concert in Washington for the publication of Medieval Insight under the patronage of the Saudi Ambassador and a number of Saudi financiers. In addition to his current close ties with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Zayed, he has strong intelligence, financial and media relations that are also linked to the team of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

However, the special attention of the Russian special investigator to the Russian intervention, Robert Mueller, and the conduct of at least two investigative sessions, one last week, also indicate the seriousness and sensitivity of Nader's role in the Tramp electoral team as close to campaign manager Steve Bannon. His relationship with him allowed him to hesitate at the White House and meet with Trump's advisers, including his brother-in-law, Jared Kouchner.

Perhaps the most serious of all is that Nader presents himself as the adviser to Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, who also has a strong relationship with Bannon and Kouchner, who has been reported by previous US reports to have played a role in trying to secure a secret communication channel between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, A secret meeting of the Seychelles in 2016 brought together a delegate from the Trump campaign who is the director of Blackwater Eric Prince and an envoy of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The US media considered George Nader to be a valuable supporter of Muller, and that his confessions could be more dangerous than the confessions of George Papadopolis, Trump's foreign affairs adviser, who admitted he was trying to arrange a meeting between Trump and Putin.

 Banon is likely to be the most affected by Nader's statements to Mueller in his relationship with Ben Zayed and the Seychelles meeting with Putin's envoy. Leaked information to the US press suggests that Nader is collaborating with FBI officers and that he is providing information on the investigation into the Russian penetration.

Israeli study: the deal of the century aims to achieve the US national security strategy











A study published by the Israeli National Security Research Center found that US President Donald Trump, through his proposals to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, called the "Century Deal", aims to create regional conditions that contribute to the goals of the recently announced US National Security Strategy .


According to the study prepared by General Shimon Arad, and published by the Center on its website on Thursday, the Trump administration commissioned Arab regimes to work to bring the Palestinians to the table of negotiations with Israel and at the same time give legitimacy to the concessions that will have to be submitted to Israel. According to Trump, the Arab countries must provide financial cover that allows the Palestinians to be tempted to return to negotiations and make concessions.



According to the study, the Trump administration is based on the assumption that the national interests of the United States require a long-term role in the Middle East, which must create a regional environment to ensure that the role is played in appropriate conditions.

According to the US National Security Strategy, the Sunni Arab states allied with Washington must play a central role in achieving the objectives of this strategy by contributing to the creation of conditions for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

She pointed out that the solution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict provides an environment that allows the strengthening of relations between Tel Aviv and the Gulf states. The study shows that the strengthening of Israeli-Gulf relations plays an important role in the US national security strategy, as strengthening these relations is a prerequisite for weakening Iran.

She pointed out that although the Trump administration claims that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict does not play an important role in the instability of the region, on the other hand, the achievement of a solution to this conflict will lead to the development of a new balance of power that improves the ability of Washington to achieve its interests, Will lead to the justification of cooperation between Israel and the Arab states in the face of common threats.

The Trump administration is trying to push Israel to return to negotiations through temptations, while imposing sanctions on the Palestinian side to convince him that he will lose a lot if he refuses to respond to the American initiative.

The author of the study notes that although the terms of the American initiative have not been formally announced, it is clear that it refuses to conduct negotiations in stages with the aim of reaching temporary solutions, but rather aims at reaching a permanent solution directly.

Arad concludes that the Trump administration is based on the assumption that temporary settlements prolong the negotiations in such a way as to create conditions conducive to damaging Israel's relations with the Gulf states.

The Trump administration believes that solving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will contribute to the stability of the region and will transform the balance of power in a way that will help achieve US security and economic interests.

The study stressed that the Trump administration in its efforts to push towards a settlement of the conflict is keen to achieve clear interests and does not give weight to the systems of values ​​that seized the behavior of previous administrations, pointing out that Trump seems unwilling to engage in a debate on historical rights.

The study urged decision-makers in Tel Aviv to define the strategic objectives of any negotiations with the Palestinians, so that these goals are formulated in a manner that would intersect with American objectives.

According to the study, the Trump administration, by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the decision to transfer the US embassy to the city and impose sanctions on the Palestinians, wants to send a letter to the PA leadership in Ramallah that if it continues to refuse the vehicles of the century deal it will lose, while Israel wins.

The author of the study argues that Trump's avoidance of supporting the idea of ​​a two-state solution comes under the pressure of the Palestinians to convince them that there is much to lose if they do not accept American ideas.

Muslim refuses to receive the Revlon award because her Israeli ambassador is an Israeli actress












The American Muslim blog, Amani Khatatbeh, which writes about beauty and women, rejected a prize from Revlon Beauty Company because actress Gal Gadot was her trademark ambassador.

Revlon was awarded the "Changemakers" award for the calligrapher, who is of Jordanian / Palestinian origin, and founder of MuslimGirl.com as part of the new @LiveBoldly campaign, which aims to "inspire women to express their passion, optimism and strength". Her official page in "Instagram".

"I can not accept this award because Gal Gadot is the ambassador of the Revlon brand," she wrote. "Her clear support for the Israel Defense Forces' work in Palestine is in conflict with the morality and values ​​of MuslimGirl.com, and my conscience does not allow me to communicate with her in any way after the Israeli army imprisoned Tamimi, a Palestinian girl who was only 16 years old. To hold her since last month until today. "

"I know in the bottom of my heart that I will not disguise the meaning of the changemakers' prize if I accept them in these circumstances," she said. "We can not accept female models to support the oppression of women in other parts of the world, especially as we approach the first anniversary of the women's march," she said.

She explained that the moral obligation requires not to ignore the reference to what is wrong, and to stick to the facts that we believe in, and talk about them always, and lined up to the right side of history, and said: "This is what I mean the industry of change." "It is supposed to be the real face of women's freedom and support, but it is selective and stands with the side that persecutes women and children in Palestine, ignoring many facts."


Gal Gadot, the Israeli actress and model, has confirmed her support for the Israeli occupation army in the past, and trained for two years, and raised controversy when she participated on "Facebook" a publication expressing her love and wishes for safety soldiers who were involved in the recent massacres that resulted in More than 1,000 Palestinians are killed in Gaza.

Gadout also provoked another public outcry earlier this year when she wore a dress designed by Lebanese designer Elie Saab at the National Board of Review gala. Lebanese expressed discontent with social media, .

Israel in India













It is true that personal friendships are not necessarily governing the relations between countries and governments, but the intense intimacy of the strong friendship between the prime ministers of India and Israel, Narenda Modi and Benjamin Netanyahu, illustrates the enormous level of relationship between the great Asian country and the occupying power.

 Let me know that Moody has replaced a minister in his government as a person, to be at the forefront of the future of the guest and his wife, and to let you know that the visit lasts for six days. Netanyahu and his wife walk around in several Indian states and let you know that the program was not limited to meetings with technology experts and men. And officials in a variety of sectors, but also meetings with stars in Indian cinema.


Let me know from all this, and many others, and know the ambitions that Tel Aviv and New Delhi aspire to achieve in the levels of cooperation and trade, military deals and investments, as well as in the stories of terrorism and security and the fight against extremism.

Before, if Netanyahu's "disappointment" with India's vote in the UN General Assembly on the resolution on Jerusalem is finally said to be a vote that is not in line with the special relationship between the two friendly countries, especially since New Delhi did well with her friend when she abstained In the summer of 2014 on a UN report on Israel's aggressive war on the Gaza Strip.

It is India, which was among the 13 countries opposed the UN General Assembly resolution 181 in 1947, which voted with the abolition of the Zionist decision one of the forms of racism in 1992, and was with him when it was announced in 1975. It is India, whose current Prime Minister, Narenda Moody , To pride himself, as he is the first to do, in his high position, and visited Israel last summer.

To that end, he did not even risk going through Ramallah, even if he felt a certain balance, as many guests do to the governments of the occupation. On the same day, a joint article was published by the two friends, Moody and Netanyahu, in which they wrote that India and Israel were moving hand in hand toward the future as partners.

The delegation that accompanied Netanyahu on his current trip to India (second to an Israeli prime minister after Sharon's visit in 2003) is the largest in all the Israeli officials' circles in the world. Tel Aviv's sale of New Delhi rockets and military technologies last April was the biggest such deal Israel has ever made.


Learn about the details of the growing course of the Israeli-Indian relations, and in an accelerated manner, facilitated by published studies of good quality. Any look at it will be astonishing how much India "benefits" from Israel, not only in military and advanced weaponry, defense, offensive, missile and other systems, but also in agriculture, energy and water technologies, and in culture, industry, investment and the arts.

To this astonishment, all this colossal cooperation accelerates with the deterioration of the Arabs and their decline, and the misery of betting on them. They do not have what the Indians want, and also with the increasing Hindu and nationalist extremism in India, (Indian people) of his most important addresses, the party that belongs to him Narenda Moody, who is active in the integration of the most extreme figures in the vicinity.

In his archives, he was the head of the Gujarat government (also visited by Netanyahu!), In 2002, when there were sectarian attacks against Muslims in the state. About 2,000 were burned, and children and women were beaten to death. Reports on the amounts of responsibility for all this are personally borne by Moody.

 With the largest Muslim minority in the world in India (150 million), their parliamentary and political presence in the country continues to weaken and decline, in parallel with the great weakness of the ruling Congress party.

As if the details of the Indian interior, then, paralleling the Arab and Islamic scars of the perspective abroad, win Israel, and pick up Prime Minister, Netanyahu, with his wife, photographed their delight in front of the Taj Mahal.

Why does Israel exaggerate the Iranian threat?











Israel is an artificial political entity that can not live without existential danger, whether real or imagined. Seventy years after its creation, its geographical expansion and its enormous military capability, it has always fueled the threat that has become part of its defense doctrine and security policies.

But for a long time, intimidation has become a threat to the existence of Israel as a tool in the service of goals that are not always connected to security threats and have become a means of serving domestic political goals of a propaganda or incitement nature or targets related to financial allocations, The Israeli army, or to justify the failure to provide economic advances to poor social classes and, most importantly, to maintain a certain degree of self-concern in order to mobilize the Israeli public in the face of risks.

 The threat of my existence also serves as a traditional Israeli foreign policy, seeking to draw the sympathy of the international community by portraying Israel as a small country surrounded by a sea of ​​hostile Arab states.

Within this context, the Israeli campaign against Iran's growing military presence in Syria, Iran's building of military bases there, and the installation of Iranian Shi'ite militias near the border on the Golan Heights could also be introduced.

A few years earlier, we saw a frantic Israeli campaign against the threat of Iran acquiring a nuclear bomb. No one can forget the speech of Benjamin Netanyahu at the 67th session of the United Nations, carrying a drawing of an Iranian nuclear bomb, warning the world of the danger of Iran becoming a nuclear state. But all these scandals did not work. If the world signs in 2015, just three years after Netanyahu's rhetorical speech, a nuclear deal with Iran.

This time, Israeli intimidation centers on the danger of the Iranian military presence in Syria on two fundamental issues: the building of Iranian military bases in Syria; the deployment of a sophisticated Iranian missile system there, covering Hezbollah's missile arsenal in Lebanon with all the "Israeli" territory, The former reality, creates a new deterrent balance.

Israel recognizes that the regime of Bashar al-Assad emerged victorious from the civil war in Syria, and that the biggest winner in this war are Iran and Russia. Today, it is recognized by more than one Israeli expert and researcher that it is the loser in this war, not because of Bashar Assad's steadfastness in office.

 In its opinion, remains a "devil" you know better than demons you do not know, but because of the consequences of this steadfastness, which Assad owes, above all, to the Iranians and Shiite militias that follow orders, the rise of Iranian military and political influence in the region, Three basic confrontation fronts are essential, from the point of view of Israel, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza.

According to the security leadership in Israel, the northern front is the greatest threat to Israel in 2018, especially because of the growing Iranian military presence in Syria and Lebanon, and the possibility of using this presence as a deterrent against any future Israeli military operation targeting Iranian nuclear facilities.

What these officials do not mention is that Israeli-Russian coordination in Syria imposes restrictions and invisible restraints on this Iranian presence. The most blatant proof of this is the Russian view of the Israeli raids inside Syrian territory, the latest attack near Damascus, which was targeted, according to Israeli press sources, an Iranian military camp.

But if the air attacks against Iranian positions are a warning and a stepped-up escalation, knowing that the Iranian military presence may be a factor that threatens the internal stability in more than

A much more Arab state than Israel. It is true that the prospect of deploying a sophisticated Iranian missile system in Syria near the border in the Golan will create a new balance of deterrence there, but it is unlikely to be a pretext for an Israeli-Iranian confrontation in Syria or Lebanon.

 As evidence of the Israeli behavior towards the increase of Hezbollah's missile force on the southern border with "Israel" during the last decade, and Israel's threat of a devastating war against Lebanon, if the party used these missiles, without destroying the missile capability of Hezbollah, Will be paid by Israeli civilians.

Again, it seems that the Israeli intimidation of the Iranian military presence in Syria exaggerations and exaggerations placed by Israel in the service of foreign policies and internal security. Israel recognizes that it is facing a new strategic reality in the region, requiring a new military approach to the new risks. But it seems to be still using old tools, including the threat of existential danger, to counter the changes that have taken place.

US Targeting of UNRWA: Seeking to Liquidate the Issue of Palestinian Refugees












US President Donald Trump's new decision to cut half of the US support for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) by half a support package has added to a series of decisions that Trump has taken since he came to the White House a year ago to liquidate the case.

 Palestinian, or what is left of it, to pass what has come to be called the "deal of the century", which is being prepared by the decisions of the US shock, as appears to be sponsored by some Arab countries, in exchange for a strict Palestinian rejection, making the Palestinian scene more complex, Of the US sanctions on the Palestinian N power, as a result dismissive attitudes for "century deal", and waving to other options and refused to return the US to take care of the settlement negotiations.

The American actions to impose the "deal of the century" are proceeding through successive steps to liquidate a process of the Palestinian cause, first and foremost touching the constants, the first of which is occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine, which was translated in Trump Declaration finally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the occupation as well as the start of procedures for the transfer of the US embassy.

 The second chapter of the liquidation of the case is the elimination of the right of return of Palestinian refugees, which is one of the most important files in the framework of the so-called "final solution," which explains the American targeting of UNRWA, after months of incitement by an Israeli Prime Minister , Benjamin Netanyahu, personally when he launched an incitement campaign last June to dismantle UNRWA and integrate its parts into the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

Israel has repeatedly proved that it is an agency that misuses humanitarian aid to the international community and supports instead anti-Israeli propaganda, perpetuating the plight of Palestinian refugees and encouraging hatred, according to the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, in parallel to Netanyahu's announcement that "Americans are currently studying seriously Israel's proposal that the supervision of Palestinian refugees in the West Bank be transferred to the United Nations refugee agency and not to UNRWA."

The American impulse to pass all the steps that it sees, along with the occupation, is also necessary for the liquidation of all Palestinian rights and the waving of further measures, the unprecedented state of promotion of normalization with the Israeli occupation, which Arab officials are conducting almost openly, A clear Saudi role in pressing the Palestinians to accept the proposals that affect the fundamentals of the Palestinian issue, the most important of which is the proposal of Abu Dis, the alternative capital of Palestine for occupied Jerusalem. This was reflected in the absence of clear Arab attitudes towards the crises created by the Trump decision on Jerusalem and its continuing threats to the Palestinians.

For this reason, the US decision to cut aid to UNRWA appears to be multiple and dangerous and paves the way for the worst financial crisis in which the world body, which is suffering from a severe financial crisis, will be placed. It affects more than five million Palestinian refugees who have abandoned their parents And their grandparents from their homes in 1948.

UNRWA is the international organization that provides services to Palestine refugees in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Its focus is on education and health, as well as humanitarian aid and relief assistance. UNRWA is fully funded through voluntary contributions from Member States of the United Nations.

There is no law that compels donors to pay, but it has been customary for States to make voluntary contributions to UNRWA regularly and without prejudice. US support for the UN is about 40 percent of its budget, according to observers and refugee specialists. The decision will lead to a real and substantial financial crisis in the organization, in light of the widespread inability to pay its employees in the coming months, which is experiencing a real financial crisis due to increased refugee requirements and a low level of funding in recent years.


UNRWA's Commissioner-General, Pierre Krähenbühl, said that reducing the US administration's financial contribution would affect regional security at a time when there are many risks and threats in the Middle East, especially given the rise of "extremism."

"This is not the first time that UNRWA has faced a major challenge in adhering to its mandate and defending it," he said in a statement released following a freeze on part of US support for the world to support Palestinian refugees and launch a global fundraising campaign to maintain the work of schools and medical clinics. Represents an expression of the will of the international community and the maintenance of basic services, such as education and health care for Palestine refugees. "

Karinbol announced that the United States' contribution this year "is below the level of previous contributions, and by a large margin, with total US contributions for 2017 more than 350 million US dollars," noting that previous US administrations "supported UNRWA and provided strong, generous and sustained support." In his statement, however, the Commissioner-General of UNRWA tried to send messages of reassurance to the Palestinian refugees. "We are working with absolute determination to ensure the continuity of UNRWA services," he said, calling on IAEA staff to continue their work "with interest as they do."


UNRWA will have to reduce its services, as it does in every financial crisis it suffers, but it is interesting that the services being cut and cut in times of crisis are not returned at the time of normal and normal support. It is possible that the UN agency will launch an international campaign of donations, such as those launched several years ago, with increasing pressure on it and increasing the needs of refugees, but even this step is not guaranteed results, and it is not easy to succeed in enhancing the financial return of the organization that is experiencing its worst crises since its inception by UN resolution.

The head of the Refugee Affairs Department of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Zakaria Al-Agha, told the New Arab that Washington's $ 125 million reduction in aid to UNRWA for 2018 and only $ 60 million would affect the nature of the services provided to UNRWA. refugees. Al-Agha said that the United States, which is the largest financier of UNRWA by up to 45 per cent of the total support received by the Organization, is trying, by reducing it finally, to end the UN and end the Palestinian refugee issue. He stressed that the decision to reduce the US support to "UNRWA" will negatively affect the overall educational services, health and relief and other programs provided by the UN Foundation for more than 5.5 million Palestinian refugees.

Al-Agha said that the decision to reduce the US will contribute to the escalation of tension in the region, especially when millions of Palestinian refugees find themselves without services, while the region is experiencing great tension, noting that the consequences of the decision of the Trump administration will have serious consequences.

He pointed out that the current period is witnessing a series of meetings with UNRWA Commissioner-General and several Arab officials in order to determine the seriousness of the scene, in addition to demanding the full return of the file to the General Assembly of the United Nations, being the agency through which the agency was established and the budget was provided. Without exposing the international institution to extortion from this or that side. Aga said that Trump came to serve the Israeli project, and the liquidation of the Palestinian issue through the declaration of Jerusalem as the "capital" of the occupying state and reduce the budget of "UNRWA" with the aim of eliminating the Agency as a whole,

 He stressed that Trump's recent actions require strengthening national unity and circumventing the popular resistance program within the Palestinian territories and moving Arab and international to pursue the occupation.

For his part, Issam Adwan, head of the refugee affairs department of the Hamas movement, told the "New Arab" that the US reduction is the first of its kind in terms of the nature of the support that has been curtailed, although Canada has declined to pay the UN between 2010 and 2015 , But the total amount it provides does not reach half of what America offers.

He pointed out that the US administration aims through the policy of cutting the last "to entrench the Palestinian people to accept the Trump plan," at a time when "UNRWA" from the foundation of the financial crisis on an annual basis. Adwan explained that their estimates on the reduction of US support, it will take an increasing character in the coming years, especially that the current administration, headed by Trump, take clear actions in favor of the Israeli occupation and the plan to liquidate the Palestinian cause.

 He ruled out the Trump administration's retreat from the cuts it had made and would try to pressure the Palestinian leadership to take a political stand by creating more crises for it through the institution that handles refugees. He believed that the best way out of the financial crisis facing UNRWA was to go to the United Nations General Assembly to make up for its basic fund deficit, which took place last November.


However, the presence of the Deputy President of the United Nations General Assembly, Danny Danone, led to the deletion of the request and its removal from the agenda of the international organization. But the chances of making this request again remain, especially as Danone's work in this organization will end in six months, according to Adwan.

"The total budget for UNRWA is about $ 1.3 billion, while the US contribution is about 40 percent," said Hossam Ahmed, a researcher on refugee issues. Ahmed pointed out that what is happening now is an attempt to target the Gaza Strip, especially through the creation of more financial crises, especially since the largest presence of the UN institution is in the sector, which suffers from a severe and aggravated Israeli siege since 2006.

 The Palestinian researcher pointed out that the sector is the only region that benefit from the emergency program provided by the UN agency, in order to serve a large segment of refugees, especially in light of the deteriorating economic and living conditions of more than two million people in Gaza.

He pointed out that there are Israeli parties are already talking strongly about the need to write off "UNRWA", which emerged following the signing of the Oslo agreement between the PLO and Israel in 1993, through the calls to demand the end of the work of the United Nations. But he ruled out Washington being ready to take the consequences of removing UNRWA as an international institution at this stage, despite the reduction it has imposed on its overall support.

Youth Movements in Tunisia: "Revolution Continues ... because injustice Continues"











Tunisia has lived a turbulent week that began with popular protests over the financial law 2018, which was interrupted by riots and sabotage, and ended with mass demonstrations on the seventh anniversary of the fall of the Ben Ali regime. Youth campaigns, led by Vash Nestnao and Maniche Masameh (I will not forgive), still raise the slogan of continuing mobilization against "the injustice of power." The question remains: Does the continuation of the protests threaten a new revolution? Reportage

"What the country is living is intolerable for the majority of Tunisians, especially since the objectives of the revolution have not yet been achieved, especially in the economic field." The blogger and activist Lina Benhani expresses her opinion on Tunisia's position and focuses on the words to identify the disease. She adds, resentful and armed with the experience of a decade-long struggle: "We are very angry with the youth ..."

"A lot of anger at the country's politically jittery, economically miserable situation, frustration with the promises of a false political class and authority accused of trying to circumvent the course of the revolution." Lina, 32, is not aware if the protests that rocked different regions and regions on the night of January 8 and 9, after the passage of a financial law that "increases the poor," will turn into a "new revolution."

But, as this optimistic woman in the future of Tunisia says, the demonstration will continue as long as youth campaigns are tense, as long as mobilization and protest are not confined to the capital.

Power .. and counter power
In the wake of the popular demonstrations that took place last Sunday on the seventh anniversary of the fall of ousted President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's regime, a mini-group of the Vash Nestnao movement held a closed meeting in the capital to determine the next stages of its campaign against the Finance Law, Basic materials and the cost of living.

Al-Shennawi, a member of the non-partisan organization Vash Nestnao, said the campaign was trying to organize a demonstration on Saturday 20 January in Habib Bourguiba Street to confirm its rejection of the Finance Act 2018. After discussion and exchange of views between the group, Agreed to postpone the demonstration for next Tuesday, because the doors of parliament closed on Saturday.

If you ask a woman whether the young people are ready to demonstrate again, she replied that her movement is a counter-authority, perhaps the only one in Tunisia, because "we do not pursue political ambitions or positions, we do not demand the overthrow of this government or that, . What is important about Fash Nestnaou and other youth campaigns such as Maniche Masam (I do not forgive) is the achievement of the goals of the revolution.

On Tuesday, the Tunisian capital was submerged in a cautious calm, which is explained by the presence of the security forces, when in their pure skies the noise of peaceful demonstrators raises the slogan of "dignity" demanding their right to work. The successful professors in the "Kabas" debate returned with their white coats to Habib Bourguiba Street to remind the government of its promises, the authority of its duties and the people's rights.

Standing between the statue of Bourguiba and the tomb of Ibn Khaldun
Only the security men deployed in the heart of the city stood between the statue of the first President of the Republic of Tunisia (Bourguiba) and the great sociologist Ibn Khaldoun, who witnessed the demonstrations being renewed all over the country.

The fact is that Tunisia is at the crossroads between the two pillars of international undertakings, especially towards the International Monetary Fund, and the continuing pressure of popular pressure on the deterioration of its social situation. If I asked taxi driver Muhammad Ali, 27, the father of a small princess at the age of two, about the prices of consumer goods, he replied with a sarcastic laugh.

Despite the assurances of the Yusuf government witness by its commitment not to raise the prices of subsidized materials such as bread, oil and sugar, and despite pledges by President Baji Caid Sibsi (91 years) to be 2018 year of youth, but Mohammed is unbelievable. "What do they change and what will they change with empty words and false promises?" He added: "Look around you and hope .. Look at the situation of people and the case of Tunisia .. Roads filled with begging and poor .. Houses in which empty empty."

From bad to worse
Is the country moving towards the unknown? nobody knows. But things have gone from bad to worse, and there is no solution on the horizon, except the soothing promises, as the director of the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights, Alaa Talbi, calls it. The researcher in history knows the social movements as the doctor knows (the case) of his patient.

Talabi, speaking at his office in Farhat Hachad Street in the center of Tunis, said that the government and the government have dealt with the recent demonstrations against the law of financial security crackdown, pointing to the occurrence of random arrests among young people, mostly aged between 15 and 19, many of whom have been out of school for a long time. The 850-person trial, according to Interior Ministry figures, is due to begin on Thursday.

"A generation of freedom and dignity that knows its rights"
The campaigns carried out by Tunisia "restored confidence to the popular social movement," according to a researcher in history. She drew attention to the fact that "a new generation of young people still believes that there is a revolutionary path that must be completed."

Revolutionary youth, or, as Lina Ben Mhenni describes it, which we met at the headquarters of her "Constitution," the human rights group, "the generation of freedom and dignity that knows its rights" and says "no" if necessary. Jill was 11 or 12 years old when Ben Ali left power in 2011 and grew up in various social strata, including students, unemployed, activist activists and political activists. He joined the "Maniche Masamih", "Funch Nestnaou" or " Against the excesses of security elements] to defend the principles and objectives of the revolution.


Lina means youth, activists and activists, both those who participated in the revolution and those who came after it. She also spoke about another category of young people, preferring the option of "jihad" or "adventure on average" for life or death. According to Alaa Talabi, according to official sources, 6151 Tunisians were able to reach Italian territory in 2017.

"The current political generation will end, either intellectually or biologically"
Death and life. The title of the novel is true. Tunisian youth, the rebel revolutionary, took the second part, Al-Hayat, to join the Fash Nestnaou campaign and accepted it under the banner of Maniche Mesameh, founded in 2015, against the law of financial reconciliation.

These youth campaigns gave the young Tunisian a chance to be a spokesman for his own name, as the activist from Maniche Musameh, Salim Ben Tawfiq, confirmed. "We listened to the media and even the government." "The current political generation will end, either intellectually or biologically," says the 27-year-old.

While waiting for the demise of the old generation, Tunisian youth feel that "his freedom is threatened, and the evidence is that there are a large number of arrests among activists, protesters, bloggers or artists." Young people with a degree often join the ranks of the unemployed, "which creates great frustration because life has not changed for him, and he is aware that he has not reaped the fruits of his revolution on Zine El Abidine Ben Ali."

"Nothing changed but the right to express"
"Nothing but the right to expression has changed, which explains the anger that is sweeping the country," said Ben Henni, who was a professor of language at the University of Anthropology in Tunisia until 2015 before she was dismissed for her work and criticized government policy. "The government does not offer a solution or a substitute," she said, concluding that "there is no hope for Tunisian youth."

The youth of Tunisia, between hope and frustration, between death and life. The mirror of Tunisian society, says Ms Chenawi. Young people wish to self-determination. Will he succeed?

Palestinian President to the Azhar Conference: "Jerusalem is the gate of peace or the gateway to war ... And the American president to choose"










GAZA - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas reiterated on Wednesday his refusal to deal with the US administration as an intermediary between the Palestinians and Israel, stressing that the Palestinians are "continuing with peace" and will not resort to "violence and terrorism."

 Abbas called on Arabs, Muslims and Christians to visit Jerusalem in response to Washington, which declared it the capital of Israel, saying that "Jerusalem is the gate of peace or gate of war ... and the American president to choose."

In a speech to the World Azhar Conference on "Support for Jerusalem," Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called on Arabs, Muslims and Christians to visit Jerusalem in response to US President Donald H. Trumpby's decision last December to recognize the Holy City as the capital of Israel.

"The arrival of Arabs, Muslims and Christians to Jerusalem is a victory for them and a protection for the sanctities, not normalization with the occupation," Abbas said. "The occupation is happy that no one comes."

With the exception of Egypt and Jordan, which have signed a peace treaty with Israel, the Arab states have no relations with the Jewish state, and therefore their citizens do not visit it.

The Arab states reject any form of normalization with Israel, especially any visits to it. A visit to Jerusalem requires a visa from Israel, which Arabs consider normalized.

"Continuing Peace"

Abbas reiterated his refusal to deal with the Trump administration as a mediator between the Palestinians and Israel, stressing that the Palestinians were "continuing with peace" and would not resort to "violence and terrorism."


 "Jerusalem is the gate of peace or the gate of war ... and the American president has to choose."

In his speech, Abbas did not mention Washington's decision Tuesday to "freeze" half of the funds allocated to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) in a new challenge to the United Nations and a severe blow to the Palestinians.

For his part, the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayeb, a strong speech did not use the word Israel at all, but referred to the Hebrew state as "the Zionist entity."

He said the good that the region is witnessing conflicts may lead to the division of "and the appointment of the Zionist entity as a policeman on the region."

He called for this year to be "the year of Jerusalem". In particular, he called for "a re-awareness of Jerusalem and the Palestinian cause" in Arab countries.

He criticized the Arab curricula and curricula, stressing that "there is no single course devoted to the definition of the issue and shed light on past and present."

What is this strange tradition?









US President Donald Trump has "excellent health" and "has wonderful genes that God has created in this way," the White House doctor said Tuesday.

 He confirmed that the medical tests were positive and their results were "excellent". Medical tests were limited to weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, while Trump's critics question his psychological strength and ability to govern.
 

US President Donald Trump's 71-year-old health statement says he is expected to remain healthy throughout his presidency and has no cognitive impairment, the White House doctor said Tuesday.

"All the data indicate that the president is in good health and will remain so throughout his term," Vice Admiral Ronnie Jackson told a White House press conference following Trump's first medical visit since coming to power a year ago. .

The doctor added that Trump "has wonderful genes and has been created by God in this way." The military doctor confirmed that Trump, who was the target of a mental wave of speculation, was asked to undergo a "very good" cognitive test.

"I think he saw in the medical examination an opportunity to put an end to some of that," he said. "I think he was not at all worried about having something to hide." Jackson explained that the test was conducted using the Montreal assessment of perception, and the result was 30/30.

The doctor stressed that Trump "has no cognitive or mental problems at all," adding that he was aware of the first time a head undergoes such a medical examination during his tenure.

Jackson revealed the vital data of the president: length 1.90 meters, weight 108 kg, pulse heart 68, blood pressure 122/74.

The doctor said the examination conducted Friday at the Walter Reed National Military Hospital showed that the results of heartbeat, blood pressure and heart work were normal in the examination, and that motor functions and sensory system were normal as well.


"Heart health is excellent at this stage of his life and I think a large part of it is due to the fact that he was not a smoker or an alcoholic."

The doctor said he would work on a program to try to reduce calories, fats and carbohydrates in the president's diet "as much as possible."

The medical examination was limited to Trump's weight, blood pressure and cholesterol level, while his critics openly questioned his mental health.


 There are still questions about Trump's mental stability, especially after Michael's controversial book, in which he recently confirmed that those around Trump doubt his ability to govern.

The US president is not obliged to undergo a medical examination or to announce the results of his medical examinations to the public. But the announcement of these results has become a tradition also made by the ancestors of Trump.

False beauty ... contact lenses blaze the eyes of invaders













The young Gazan Yasmine Abu Mari continues to suffer from the effects of severe infections in her right eye cornea, after she put on cosmetic contact lenses, which she bought for $ 10 from "Accessories" at the Nusseirat market in central Gaza Strip in early September. After hours of wearing the lenses, Yasmine was injured by an inflammation that forced her to visit the State Eye Hospital in Gaza City. There, she was informed by hospital physician Sabri Hajjaj that the reason for her illness was due to the use of lenses that were not in accordance with the specifications. .

Jasmine is one of 85 patients who have been treated at the Gaza State Eye Hospital for the past six months after suffering from corneal infections and bacterial infections in the eye due to poor contact lenses used in the Gaza Strip. Hamdiya, who explained that the hospital's external clinic receives 25 cases a month with eye infections or red eyes, because of contact lenses, while the European hospital in the southern Gaza Strip receives five cases per month for girls suffering from symptoms, He will be cured, Iyad Abu Ubaid.


Analysis of lens componentsThe probe was subjected to a sample of a contact lens for a product that was widely sold, called fish look, and was purchased from the Sheikh Radwan market in Gaza City for examination at the Ministry of Agriculture laboratories. The test proved that the fluid surrounding the silicone lens consisted of Hydroxyl, Methylene and Carbonyl chemical groups, The lens loses the degree of flexibility required, according to the chemical specialists at the Faculty of Science at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, Hassan Tammous and Omar Milad.


The visual optician Saeed Khurshid and Eyad Al-Akluk examined the lens through the electronic microscope and explained that the silicone material is 16 mm in size, which is contrary to the medical standards of the human cornea, because the size of the cornea is between 11 and 12 millimeters, while the amount of water The eye moisturizer in the lens is 55%, in the sample to 48%, which is seen by the Director of the State Eye Hospital, Abdul Salam Sabah, as not conforming to the medical specifications assumed in the cosmetic lenses. "If the lens is wider than the cornea, Flowing into the eye, causing In the incidence of infections and corneal wounds. "


Analysis of solutions for sterilization of lensesThe researcher examined four random samples of lens sterilization solutions from the producers of Fresh Look, Solrex Alpha, which were obtained from accessories stores from the cities of Gaza, Naserat and northern Gaza Strip, Jabalia, in the Department of Public Health Laboratories of the Ministry of Health.


The results revealed contamination of specimen No. 2/34 and its source in the Shujaiya market, by 100 thousand cells / bacterial in milliliters, the most serious is Pseudomonas SPP, which causes eye infections of corneal infections, and 15 thousand cells / fungus and yeast in milliliters of the same sample, although the solution is to sterilize the lenses of Parasites, fungi and bacteria.

 The four samples failed during the process of sterilization in killing bacteria and fungi, especially Pseudomonas Aeruoginosa bacteria, according to the results of the tests, and confirm the analysis of Dr. Hashim Arafa, director of microbiological analysis, in the Department of laboratories of the Ministry of Health.


The survey was conducted by a non-standard survey of 51 girls wearing cosmetic lenses sold in shops. Thirty-one girls were found to have minor infections. 13 girls were infected with corneal infections and treated immediately. Eight girls were not injured. For government agencies that allow sellers to promote those lenses in shops without supervision.

Risks of lenses



A study by researchers at the Langon Medical Center, New York University, in July 2015, published by Scientific American, found that contact lens wearers tend to harbor different bacteria from people who do not wear them, making their eyes contain bacteria Usually live in the eye.


The results of the study showed that there were more than 5,000 unique species of bacteria found on contact lenses wearing lenses. The study identified four types of bacteria that were more common three times in contact lenses: Methylobacterium, Bacteria "friendly", Acientobacter, Pseudomonas, showing that Pseudomonas is a major cause of eye infections and can cause corneal ulcers, Which is the same bacteria that appeared in the results of tests conducted by the "New Arab", which amounted to 100 thousand cells per milliliter, which is seen by Dr. Abdul Salam Sabah risk "threatens the safety of eyes wearing lenses poor, who may lose sight of the occurrence of complications "He said.

How to insert lenses into a strip



Ghazi Saad al-Wadiiyah imports Solrex Alpha solution and Fish look lenses from China. He says he enters lenses through the crossings and sometimes buys some smugglers from the tunnels. Which is seen by Undersecretary of the Ministry of National Economy, Dr. Ayman Abed, as an indication of the lack of supervision and follow-up of those products, which are treated as ordinary goods, and there are no restrictions on them.


The director of the Department of notices and issues at the Ministry of Finance, Mohammed Ayesh, that cosmetic lenses were entering through tunnels between the Gaza Strip and the Egyptian territory in large quantities amid other goods of small size, and are entered without examinations by the competent authorities.



Legal Commentary
95 thousand cosmetic lenses were introduced into the Gaza Strip during 2016, and 47,000 cosmetic lenses were introduced in 2017 through September through the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing, unlike smuggling, according to the director of the Department of Studies and Planning at the Ministry of Economy, Osama Nofal .


The Consumer Protection Act No. 21 of 2005 establishes legal liability for the promotion of counterfeit goods. Article 27 states in Chapter 6 that: "Whoever presents or sells a product that involves his use is dangerous, without mentioning or enclosing a warning Indicating the point of risk and the best way to use or use, and how to remedy in the event of damage resulting from the use, or contrary to the provisions of articles (11-19).


Of this Law, shall be punished by imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or a fine of not more than five hundred Jordanian Dinars or the equivalent in the legally circulated currency or both. "Despite this provision, Prosecutors and sellers who trade in these fake lenses will not be prosecuted for the high costs of filing a lawsuit. "We warn our friends and relatives and we hope to recover from God," he said.

The euro is climbing above $ 1.21 and the highest level in 3 years













The euro jumped above $ 1.21 for the first time in three years on Friday, amid growing expectations that the ECB will signify its willingness to end its massive monetary stimulus program.


The euro rose 0.8% to $ 1.2134, its strongest level since December 31, 2014.


The single European currency has been up more than 1.5% since Thursday, its strongest performance in two days since August.


The strength of the euro led the dollar index, which measures the performance of the greenback versus a basket of six major currencies, to fall 0.6% to a four-month low of 91.329. Against the yen, the dollar hit a six-week low of 111.00 yen.


The euro recovered after the release of the ECB's December meeting minutes, which revealed on Thursday that the institution could adjust its forward-looking indicators at the beginning of 2018 to reflect the strength of the euro-zone economy.


The strength of the European currency strengthened the announcement by Germany's conservatives led by Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Social Democrats of an agreement to strengthen the eurozone and reform it in cooperation with France to make it stronger in the face of crisis, according to the text of the agreement reached by the two parties to form a government in the country.


The rise in the European exchange rate comes at a time when Citigroup sees the US dollar heading for 5% of its value against the currencies of the developed countries, including the euro, and may lose less against the currencies of emerging countries.


According to a recent study by the University of California, Trump's isolationist policies and its continuing attack on many countries, the dollar may lose part of its global position as an international reserve currency and a major settlement currency in global finance and trade deals.


The study, published by three professors in a research paper, suggests that Donald Trump's policies may lose the dollar about $ 750 billion in world assets over the coming years, more than 5 percent of dollar assets abroad.


The study, published by Barry Eishengren, Prof. Arnold Mehall and Livia Chitto of the European Central Bank, argues that the strength of a currency and its global influence depend on two factors, one economic and the other security security.

Trump and Law ... and nightmare investigations










The appearance of US President Donald Trump in front of the investigative team, Robert Mueller, to make his case in the Russian investigation case is a matter of time if there are no unexpected developments. This scenario has increased in recent times, based on solid information.There is a certain assertion that this "inevitable" appearance will lead to a sharp shift in investigations into "the removal of the president," says expert Jane Wynn Banks, who helped the investigator on the Watergate scandal that toppled President Richard Nixon.


"When there is no consistent collusion between his campaign and the Russians," he said, "when there is no consistent collusion between his campaign and the Russians, Then it is unlikely to even conduct an interview "with the investigation team. In June, he said he was "100 percent ready," he said, to sit face to face with the investigators and answer their questions about the circumstances of the Russian intervention in the elections.


The change in the situation indicates that the investigation has gone a long way in uncovering the secrets of this file. The coup in Trump's position reinforced doubts and suspicions of complicity and interference by the White House to obstruct the investigation and thus "the course of justice." The change also suggested that Trump was "beginning to feel hot", according to Max Bot, of the Council on Foreign Relations, for studies and research, which could bring him to account if not more.


But this change does not change anything. The decision is in Mueller's hands. If he thinks that Trump must be investigated, there is no escape from that. Former presidents have already been subjected to such a test, including Nixon and Bill Clinton.


If he refrains from invoking the presidential privilege, then investigator Muller can underline a summons to appear before the jury to give his information, under the legal section and without the accompaniment of counsel. A more dangerous alternative, because refraining from truth is a crime.


In both cases, he says, "he has to walk among the mines," says Ms. Banks. It is therefore reported that Trump's legal team is in negotiations with Muller to "determine the circle" of questions to be asked by the president so that they are not open in scope or to pose these questions in writing. But it is unlikely Mueller's response to the desired image, with either of the two requests.


With this station, the battle of Trump begins with the law, no place for politics, Twitter and populist speech, and it is free of the many risks, bumps and slips, starting with the contradictions in his statements and positions and ending in his financial relations abroad, passing information that Muller may have obtained From two top Trump assistants, General Michael Flynn and Counselor George Papadopoulos, after signing a deal with them to provide them with their instruments in exchange for their release. This is what the White House and its legal team are most concerned about, which have seen divisions in their ranks on formulating a unified defense posture.


What makes things worse is that while the dossier of investigations is narrowing, the president's failures are increasing and his weakness and sympathy are increasing. The latest, on Thursday, in his humiliating racist portrayal of dark-skinned immigrants from Haiti and African countries, and his voice and his capacity to absorb and not to balance, are being heard at a pace not known in the history of the US presidency.


Trump's presidency is nearing the end of its first year, burdened with serious problems and challenges that threaten the remaining three years, if left.

When Trump described African countries and Haiti as "dirty"!






US President Donald Trump on Thursday described African countries and Haiti as "dirty oaks" at a meeting on immigration at the White House, the Washington Post reported. In response to the comments, Democratic Congressman Luis Gutierrez said Trump is racist and does not accept the values ​​included in the US Constitution.


US President Donald Trump was violently indicted at a White House immigration meeting Thursday on African and Haitian nations, which he described as the "dirty oaks," the Washington Post reported.


The Republican billionaire received a number of senators, including Republican Lindsey Graham and Democrat Richard Dorben, to discuss a proposal to reduce family reunion and draw lots on the green card.


In return, the agreement would allow for the expulsion of thousands of young people who arrived in childhood to the United States.


Trump asked during the discussions, "Why do all these people come from dirty wagons to this country?" He said he was referring to countries in Africa, Haiti and El Salvador, adding that the United States should instead receive citizens from Norway, whose prime minister met Thursday.


"Why do we need more Haitians?" He asked.


The New York Times, which also quotes the participants from the meeting, said in June that Trump had confirmed at another meeting on immigration that all Haitians were "infected with AIDS", but the White House denied it.


The same source said the comments had angered the senators who attended the meeting.


"We can now say with 100 percent confidence that the president is racist and does not accept the values ​​enshrined in our constitution," said Congressman Louis Gutierrez.


His Republican colleague Mia Loew, who is from Haiti, said presidential statements "caused division" and asked for apologies. "This position is unacceptable to our nation's leader," she said in a statement.


The White House did not deny that the president made the remarks.


"Some political figures in Washington choose to work for foreign countries, but President Trump will always work for the American people," Raj Shah, a spokesman for the executive, said in a statement.


"Like other nations with a capacity-based migration, President Trump is struggling for lasting solutions that strengthen our country by welcoming those who contribute to our society, grow our economy and integrate into our nation."

Netanyahu offered in 2014 a Palestinian state in Sinai in return for the annexation of West Bank settlements





In an interview with Haaretz on Thursday, four senior officials in the administration of former US President Barack Obama said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented in 2014 a plan to launch a state Palestinian Authority in northern Sinai and Gaza, in return for the approval of the PLO, to annex settlements in the West Bank to Israel.


According to Amir Typhon, a reporter for Haaretz in Washington, the four officials told him that Netanyahu briefed the Obama administration on the details of the plan after the end of Israel's war on the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2014 after the collapse of the settlement plan presented by then US Secretary of State John Kerry , To the Parties.


"Netanyahu presented the plan to Obama on the grounds that it was a response to the failure of Kerry's settlement plan," Netanyahu said.


"Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel agrees that the West Bank should be part of the Palestinian state, provided that the Palestinians agree to annex settlements to Israel.


According to the official, Netanyahu told the administration at the time that the compensation the Palestinians would receive in return for annexing the settlements would be to annex areas in northern Sinai to the Gaza Strip.


According to the four officials, the Obama administration viewed the plan as a "waste of time, given that the Palestinians can not agree to relinquish fertile agricultural land, in return for the sandy Sinai desert lands."


Another former US official suggested that Netanyahu's offer appeared to be an attempt to involve the Palestinians in the face of security challenges by putting them in charge of an area in which the terrorist "da'ash" organization is active, with all the implications of this challenge.


Despite the Obama administration's assertion that the chances of implementing the plan were "nil," the official insisted that his relations with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi would allow him to persuade him to agree to the proposal.


US officials said that when Washington tried to ask the Egyptian administration whether to hold talks with Israel about the plan presented by Netanyahu, Cairo's response was negative.


 According to Typhoon, it is clear from the plan that Obama administration officials have said it is very much like the plan that President Donald Trump is currently trying to promote, called the "Century Deal."


Although Netanyahu's office denied the truth in Haaretz, Eliahu Shahar, a political affairs correspondent for Israel Army Radio, had previously quoted officials in Netanyahu's office as saying in September 2014 that Sisi had been presented to both Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas have launched a project to launch a Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip and northern Sinai, in exchange for the Palestinians' abandonment of the West Bank.


On February 13, 2017, the Israeli Minister of Communications, Ayoub Qara, the most Likud minister close to Netanyahu, wrote on his Twitter account that the Sisi had already drawn up a plan to establish a Palestinian state in Sinai and the Gaza Strip , Will exempt Israel from withdrawing from the West Bank and pave the way for a comprehensive peace with the "Sunni Alliance", revealing that Netanyahu will discuss the idea with Trump.


The leaks of the Israeli media about Sisi's approval for the establishment of a Palestinian state in northern Sinai, Hamas, led the right-wing leaders in Tel Aviv.


General Aryeh Eldad, one of the most prominent leaders of the far right, described this sissy offer as "the most generous" because "it allows the Jews to exercise their right as sovereigns on the West Bank." He said that the Israeli leadership should stick to the Sisi proposal, On the basis of which, and not to allow him to give up just because the Palestinians reject him.


In an article published in the Maariv newspaper in September 2014, Eldad urged Netanyahu to stick to the Sisi offer and to stress that Israel could not in any way agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank.


Israeli commentator Amir Oren said that the Sisi's waiver of the islands of Tiran and Sanafir to Saudi Arabia for money was "a precedent that leads to the belief that he will agree to the establishment of a Palestinian state in northern Sinai for money."


In an article published in Ha'aretz in April 2016, Orn called for Saudi Arabia to enlist this proposal by granting it the right to oversee the holy places of Muslims in Jerusalem.

After a judicial precedent ... Does the Sudanese government win rumors?








In a case of the first of its kind in Sudan, a Sudanese court sentenced a 50-year-old man to two months in prison and confiscated his mobile phone and fined 50,000 pounds (about 8,000 US dollars) for publishing information on social networking sites. , Said they were from the Darfur region involved in the killing of a Sudanese woman.



The Sudanese, Adiba Farouk, disappeared in mid-July, amid conversations about her abduction from the trafficking ring and the sale of organs, and accounts on social networking sites reports of other similar cases, creating widespread panic and political and media controversy.



After the news spread, the Sudanese police held several press conferences and issued statements denying the rumors as a threat to social security and threatened to arrest and bring the perpetrators to trial.


After Farouk's body was found floating on the Nile River, and the results of the medical autopsy showed signs of murder, police began searching for the culprit. But one of the relatives of the deceased published a recorded audio tape, in which he announced the arrest of the accused from the Darfur region, demanding the people of the deceased to avenge.


The "Voice of the National Security and National Intelligence" (SSSI) was sued by the Sudanese National Intelligence and Security Services (SIS) to pursue the source, and it moved legal proceedings against it, claiming to mislead the public and incite the victims. To take revenge.


The security also considered that the section deprives the people of Darfur of their human, moral and religious rights, and the police denied the statement in the section about the arrest of the accused originally.


In such cases, the accused used to deny that they had been charged with social networking sites for piracy. However, the accused admitted to recording and broadcasting the audio clip. He confirmed to the judge that he had done so in good faith, stating that it was a public opinion case. Darfur.The ruling, which will turn into a precedent, is based on the fact that the accused violated legal provisions relating to the publication of untrue false news, breach of public safety, incitement of hatred and strife between tribes and sects, as well as derogation from the prestige of the state.

A debate in France between supporters of the freedom of "men against women" and deniers of sexual harassment










France has been the subject of intense debate over the issue of sexual harassment of women in the wake of charges against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, published a group of women, including the famous actress Catherine Donov letter in the newspaper "Le Monde" defending the "freedom of the opposite of men for women," to respond to them Wednesday, another group of women activists wrote on the site France TV Info.


Writers, researchers and journalists ... calling for "the freedom of men against women" to reflect the movement formed following the big sex scandal involving Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein in October 2017. A group of women feminist activists What they have done is "a slap in the face of all women" and "abuse at least for victims of harassment".

The controversy began Tuesday (January 9th) with about 100 women, including French actress Catherine Donov, 74, and writers such as Catherine Mie, 69, and journalists like Elizabeth Levy, 53, Le Monde "in which men are asked to flirt with women on the grounds that extreme or cruel harassment is an essential and vital part of" sexual freedom ".
The group, including former pornographic actress and anchorwoman Brigitte Lahi, 62, described the campaign against producer Harvey Weinstein as "unruly" and that she had gone too far.


The campaign was popular with women through social networking sites by labeling "I am also". Its size has doubled as American movie stars such as Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Merrill Streep and Gwyneth Paltrow joined the mainstream, which condemned the abuse of Weinstein.


But the Katrin Donov group has shirked outside the flock for mainstream public opinion. In its letter, the group also considers that the "I am _" campaign ultimately serves "the interests of the enemies of sexual freedom, religious hardliners, reactionaries and all those who regard women as being distinctly privileged or as children Adults who need protection ".


"We reject this feminist activity, which takes the form of hatred for men and sex," she said. "Men have been punished in the exercise of their profession and have been forced to resign because they have only touched a knee or They tried to misappropriate a kiss, talk about intimate things during a professional dinner, or send messages of a sexual nature to a woman who is not really interested in them. "
"Rape is a crime, but extreme or reckless courtship is not a crime," the women stressed in their letter. "Courteousness is not a male assault." They concluded that marriage and sexual abuse should not be confused.


Donov was among the defenders of Polish filmmaker Roman Polanski, who admitted in 1977 that he had sexual relations with a 13-year-old minor in the United States.


The debate raged Wednesday with the publication of a large number of women in politics or women activists commenting on social networking sites or messages in the French media. A group of 30 women led by 37-year-old activist Caroline de Haas, a former Socialist Party activist, also responded to an article in France FT.com.

"In France, hundreds of thousands of women are victims of harassment every day, and tens of thousands of victims of sexual abuse," wrote the group, "as equality between men and women progresses even as far as millimeters, Hundreds of cases of rape. "


The women who published a column in the Le Monde newspaper, the majority of whom are "used to defend child molesters or those who glorify rape," Caroline de Haas said. "They use their celebrity to mitigate the risk of sexual assault."


De Haass and her group wrote in the letter that Catherine Donov and the columnist in the Le Monde newspaper "deliberately confuse the seduction process of respect, pleasure and [sexual] violence."
