Palestinian People's Resistance Movement update

Alot of news came in this weekend.

I got VERY busy tracking the news and the speculations about the cut cables and also responding on various threads brought to my attention.

I sort of missed out responding the news that came out about the bombing of the Isreali embassy in Maurtania.

Is this IMPORTANT? YES, IT IS - but it's what's going on UNDER THE RADAR that has real signficance.

The fact is, after DECADES of fighting, the Palestinian People's Resistance NEVER GIVES UP. Read about the weekend's protests in the second item and CHEER! These people are showing us NEVER GIVE UP.

'Israel' will not close its embassy in Mauritania despite anti zionist resistance gun attack
Date: 02 / 02 / 2008 Time: 12:00


Bethlehem – 'Israel' will not close its embassy in Mauritania, following Friday's attack, the spokesperson of the Israeli foreign ministry Arieh Michel said on Saturday.

Gunmen opened fire on the Israeli embassy in Mauritania in the early hours of Friday morning. The attackers opened fire on guards outside the embassy in the capital Nouakchott and also fired on a nearby bar before making their getaway. At least three passers-by were injured in the attack. The authorities immediately placed a military cordon around the embassy.

Michel said in a press release that Mauritania is one of three Arab countries which have diplomatic relations with Israel at ambassadorial level, and the Israeli authorities will endeavor to develop these relations despite the shooting incident.

Recently a number of political parties have been demanding that the Mauritanian government break off relations with Israel.

20,000 march in Sakhnin against the closing of the files on 13 Palestinian martyrs


In Sakhnin, Palestine, inside the occupied lands of 1948, over 20,000 people marched on Friday, February 1, 2008, against the closing of the file on the killing of the 13 Palestinian martyrs in October 2000. The 13 martyrs, Mohammad Ahmed Jabareen, Ahmed Ibrahim Siyam Jabareen, Rami Khatem Ghara, Eyad Sobhi Lawabny, Ala Khaled Nassar, Asel Hassan Asleh, Emad Farraj Ghanaym, Walid Abdul-Menem Abu Saleh, Misleh Hussein Abu Jarad, Ramez Abbas Bushnaq, Mohammad Khamayseh, Omar Mohammad A'kkawi, and Wissam Yazbak, were murdered by the forces of the occupation state during protest demonstrations by Palestinians of the 48 areas during October 2000.

The protest was organized by the Arab Higher Follow-up Committee against the racist policies of the occupation state of Israel. The thousands of marchers carried banners and Palestinian flags, and included among them many members of the families of the martyrs. Friday was also a general strike for the Palestinian community in which thousands participated.

The march especially targeted Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, who declined to prosecute the police of the racist state for the killings, drawing once again attention to the institutionally racist nature of the state.

The Palestinian people in our lands occupied in 1948 have been subject to racism, uprooting, and land confiscation since 1948, and this closing of the file is yet another action in that policy. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine considers the closing of the files as an expected form of the racist occupation state and as proof of the nature of the state of Israel.
