Ghaith embraces his father for the first time.

After 21 years of detention in occupation prisons, Ali Mohammed Al-Qaisi from Zabouna, west of #Jenin has been liberated and meets his 7 year old son Ghaith for the first time.

Following Ali’s abduction, he was banned from receiving visitations from his family and loved ones by the occupation. However, much like the case of Walid Daqqah and countless other prisoners, Ali remained steadfast and conceived a child, Ghaith (born in 2017) through liberated sperm.

The person capturing the bittersweet meeting of Ali and Ghaith can be heard saying, “There’s baba, there.” As the boy is seen looking around for his father, he comments “He [Ghaith] doesn’t know who he is…”

#FreeThemAll

On 27 October 2024, Zionist occupation forces renewed the administrative detention -- imprisonment without charge or trial -- of Mohammed Nidal Arman, past president of the Birzeit University Student Council and sixth-year student in Accounting, for an additional 6 months.

Mohammed, from Ein Yabroud east of Ramallah, was elected president of the Birzeit Student Council on 2 October 2023, following the arrest and imprisonment of then-President Abdel-Majeed Hassan. He was abducted by the occupation one month later, on 2 November 2023, and ordered to 6 months of administrative detention. His detention was renewed again in May, and now once more.

Mohammed Arman has been abducted by the occupation on multiple previous occasions. In May 2022, he was arrested and beaten by occupation soldiers on the eve of the university elections, as one of a group of 7 leaders of the Islamic Bloc. They were targeted as part of the ongoing attempts of the occupation to interfere with the student movement. On that occasion, he served 9 months in Zionist jails.

This came only four months after his release in January 2022 from 7 months of imprisonment in Zionist jails, where he was also targeted for his student work and activism.

In January 2024, Saleh Hasan was elected president of the Birzeit University Student Council to succeed Mohammed as he remains a prisoner in the occupation’s jails. He emphasized the continuity of the student movement and loyalty to the path of Abdel-Majeed Hassan and Mohammed Arman, who he called “the heads of the Prisoners’ Council.”

Mohammed Arman is among over 150 Birzeit University students jailed by the occupation, and approximately 3,500 Palestinians jailed without charge or trial under administrative detention -- among over 10,000 Palestinian prisoners of the occupation. This number does not even include the thousands kidnapped from Gaza by the genocidal invading forces.

Free Mohammed Arman and all Palestinian prisoners!

Now in Nijmegen, the Netherlands: Protest at Radboud University against the silencing and censorship of the Palestinian movement and the Dutch government's entry ban on Mohammed Khatib, Samidoun's Europe coordinator -- and calling for an end to genocide in Palestine.

The humble couch of a martyr holds a dignity and power that no golden throne could ever claim. For over 76 years, the reactionary Arab regimes have betrayed the Palestinian cause with silken whispers and treaties inked in cowardice. They sit high on their thrones, cushioned by wealth and allegiance to oppressors, choosing comfort over courage, silence over solidarity.

But it is the martyr’s couch—simple, worn, stained with the struggle—that radiates the true essence of nobility. For every crown that bends to imperialist agendas, the couch of a fallen hero stands upright in defiance, unyielding and pure. In the broken homes, in the resistance of a people, in the dusty seats where mothers mourn their children, this couch grows in legend. Its presence shames the gilded halls of those who’ve sold their honor, it is the place that will inspire thousands to sit, to bear witness, to rise.

Because the legacy of martyrs is a legacy of hope and sacrifice, one that no throne can overshadow. These regimes may reign, but it is the Palestinian martyr who leads the people—whose simple resting place outshines the hollow thrones of treachery and reminds the Arab world what true strength looks like. For as long as that couch stands, so does the spirit of resistance, and it will inspire generation after generation to carry on the struggle for dignity and liberation.

Martyr comrade journalist Abed Tanani wrote about Yazan Mughamis, a Birzeit University student, a prisoner, and a fighter who was abducted in 2019 and subjected to torture, beatings, and hangings after the Ein Bubin operation of the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades:

"Yazan Mughamis, my brother not born to my mother, my hero, my hero who taught me the meaning of sacrifice and devotion, the meaning of giving your soul and life for the homeland. My hero who taught me the true meaning of wild love for the homeland with all the strength you possess, my hero who taught me what it means to abandon everything in this world and soar as a red eagle over Palestine.

My role model, who taught me that there is no meaning to freedom and life under occupation. My role model who taught me that the blow of the oppressor only makes the true fighter stronger and more steadfast. My role model who embodied the song we always sing, ‘Request the youth, O homeland, and they will come.’ My role model who taught me that defiance in the face of your occupier is the strongest form of resistance.

My role model who emerged from the deadly torture smiling, head held high, proud of himself and what he had done, raising the victory sign high.

My brother Yazan, you won’t see this post, but I am certain your freedom is inevitable and near. The day will come when we pray together at Al-Aqsa, stay up all night between the mountains of Ramallah, and then sleep by the sea in Gaza. The day will come when we walk the streets of Birzeit, and see your pictures and the phrases glorifying you and your heroism on its walls. The day will come when I tell you what you mean to me. Peace to you, my comrade behind bars and fragile walls. If only you knew how much we love and believe in you.” - From the shores of Gaza to the Nafha desert prison.

Fares Hazem Abu Kamel, 23, the son of liberated Palestinian prisoner Nisreen Abu Kamel, was martyred in Gaza on 17 October 2024, when ”israeli” warplanes targeted a house belonging to the Al-Halou family in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood in Gaza as part of its genocidal bombing campaign. After Nisreen and her children were separated for six years, only reunified in 2021, Fares’s life was taken, alongside those of tens of thousands of Palestinians, by the genocidal Zionist assault on Gaza.

Nisreen Abu Kamel, married to her husband Hazem Abu Kamel and the mother of seven children, was abducted by the occupation on 15 October 2015. She was abducted from the “Erez” crossing after she had traveled to Haifa -- where she was born -- to visit her family. At the time of her arrest, her youngest son was only 8 months old and her older daughter just 11 years old.

The Zionist regime accused Nisreen of “espionage,” with the occupation intelligence claiming that she had filmed the Haifa port in order to gather information for the resistance. She was sentenced to 6 years in prison.

Hazem, her husband, said that he and his sons set a “calendar” for Nisreen’s last 100 days in prison, and every morning they marked off what had passed. “They were slow days, but they passed with all their bitterness, and now we are waiting for Nisreen to reunite us”.

During her six years in Zionist jails, Nisreen and her family were consistently denied visitation, like many Palestinian prisoners from Gaza. After her 2021 release, Nisreen was originally denied access to Gaza for multiple days, even as her husband, children and loved ones awaited her. Image 5 above depicts the moment her daughters saw their mother for the first time in 6 years.

Nisreen and Hazem lived in Gaza for the entire 20 years of their marriage until her arrest. When the occupation initially refused to allow her to return to her family, Nisreen said: “I have been married in Gaza for 20 years, and I have the right to go back to my home and be reunited with my husband and children… I waited for the days and counted the hours until I returned to them.”

Nisreen affirmed her complete rejection of the occupation's decision, declaring that she would sit in front of the Beit Hanoun “Erez” crossing, which leads to the Gaza Strip, until she would be allowed to return to her family.

The next day, Nisreen returned to Haifa, where she was greeted by activists of the “Haifa Movement” and Tala’at, a women’s movement. They all sang Palestinian national songs and chanted “Nisreen, we are with you… Freedom is yours.”

Nisreen’s return to her family and loved ones in Gaza was joyous and celebrated as a victory for the Palestinian people. She said: "I say to the occupation, I entered Gaza in spite of you and broke your power, and I salute the resistance that stood with the prisoners at all times."

Upon her release, Nisreen carried a message from the Palestinian women prisoners, urging support for them against the mechanisms of “israeli“ persecution they face on a daily basis. She urged that the women prisoners be included in any future prisoner exchange with the resistance, calling for an escalation of the popular struggle to support them. During her time in prison, 3 women prisoners, Mona Qa’adan, Shatila Abu Ayad and Amal Abu Kattah started a hunger strike in protest of the deliberate medical negligence practiced routinely against the prisoners, which also affected Nisreen.

Our deepest condolences to Nisreen and Hazem Abu Kamel, their family, and the Palestinian people, on the martyrdom of their beloved Fares.

Northern Gaza Will Not Kneel: Take action in days of rage against Zionist massacres and starvation policy in Gaza
https://ift.tt/J1InOkX

As we write, the Palestinians of northern Gaza are confronting continuous siege and extermination. Despite its persistence in horror and massacres for over a year, the Zionist-imperialist regime has not succeeded in eliminating the Palestinian resistance, nor in cutting it off from its popular cradle. In northern Gaza, the Zionist genocidal army has been launching a new phase in its genocidal offensive. Entire families are gathered together, surrounded by tanks and soldiers, forcing them to flee at gunpoint and through checkpoints where they separate men and teenage boys from women and younger children. In just one emblematic case, a Palestinian woman was forced by the occupation army to flee from northern Gaza to the southern Gaza Strip. When she arrived at the Netzarim checkpoint, the occupation army shot her in the feet.

Those who refuse to abandon their loved ones are executed or massacred using U.S.-made weapons. The cowardly enemy is seeking to implement what it calls "the Generals' Plan", which calls for the complete extermination of the Palestinian population and the establishment of a Zionist "military zone" in the north of the Gaza Strip, as well as the reestablishment of Zionist colonies, which were forced to leave Gaza by the Palestinian resistance in 2005....

Let's be clear: Israel is a genocidal regime operating with the full support and cover of the U.S. empire and its imperialist partners in Britain, France, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and others. Western media attempts to distort the facts and invent fictions about what is happening in northern Gaza are a tactic long used by imperialism. Western mainstream news channels and complicit journalists must also be seen as part of the many forces seeking to destroy the Palestinian cause and our struggle. Rather than commit to the principles of truth and integrity, these entities and individuals attempt to "pass off" the burning of people alive, the execution of women and children in cold blood, and the attempted displacement of hundreds of thousands of people from their homes as legitimate and justified acts on the part of the Zionist entity.

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network calls on all organizations and groups supporting the struggle of the Palestinian people to document and inform about the reality of the genocide in Gaza, to mobilize and escalate in support of the tens of thousands of Palestinian prisoners currently in the hands of the Zionist entity, and to organize actively in support of the resistance and the Palestinian and Lebanese people in this decisive phase of the national liberation struggle unfolding before our eyes today. Like the principle of Sinwar's stick (Asa al Sinwar), we must take upon ourselves the duty to resist zionism and imperialism from wherever we are, however we can, to our very last breath, until the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea, and the liberation of the region and the people of the world from imperialism.
