In a new shocking incident, Israeli Culture Minister Miri Regev expressed her anger at a Palestinian children's novel written by prisoner Walid Daqqa, who spent more than thirty years in occupation prisons for his resistance.
In her opinion, prison is not a place for writing novels, only for punishment.
This may come as a surprise to some, but is fully in line with the official Israeli rhetoricwhich always portrays the Palestinian as A bloody monster that only knows how to kill. Writing a novel doesn't fit this stereotype.

Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri banned the launch of the novel in the author's village, while the Israel Prison Service announced a full investigation into the matter and the punishment of Walid, who spent 34 years behind bars.

A few months ago, Walid was punished by adding two years to his sentence for "conspiring" with former Arab Knesset member Bassel Ghattas to smuggle cell phones to prisoners.
"An Israeli court convicted Ghattas on charges of fraud, breach of trust and smuggling banned letters and electronic equipment into the prison and sentenced him to two years in prison, after the charge of supporting terrorism was expunged in a deal, and he was forced to resign from his position," Al-Akhbar reported.

Ghattas justified his action in an article published by Middle East Eye:
"It was a personal act, motivated only by humanitarian and moral reasons, and I am ready to take full responsibility for it [...] One of the greatest forms of suffering Palestinian prisoners endure is the denial of their right to communicate with their families and relatives by phone, and the severe restrictions imposed by the occupation authorities on the number of visitors they are allowed to see."
He added: "Prisoners are only allowed to meet their first-degree relatives once every two weeks, and thanks to a new International Red Cross policy, this will be reduced to once a month."

A few weeks ago I wrote about The occupation army's deliberate targeting of Palestinian media professionals While covering demonstrations near the fence in Gaza, many were killed by long-range sniper fire.
In another article, I talked about The trial of Palestinian poet Dareen Tatour She was jailed for two years for writing a poem expressing solidarity with the plight of her people.
As I pointed out to the writer and journalist Why riskA mother of five, she was arrested by the occupation forces from her home in the middle of the night and charged with "building an armed terrorist organization."

These events Neither individual nor exceptionalRather, it reflects An organized approach and pre-set plans.

Perhaps this explains why most of Palestine's great poets spent Part of their lives in occupation prisonsor were forced to Forced exile or done Their assassination.
Israel has never shown as much hatred for anyone as it has for Palestinian Intellectuals and ArtistsBecause their existence alone. Debunking her story.

Even those who have lived outside the country The Mossad assassinated them.
Palestinian memory still preserves many names such as: Ghassan Kanafani, Wael Zuaiter, Kamal Nasser, Majid Abu Sharar And many others.

When a Palestinian succeeds in breaking Israeli restrictions and going international, Israel tries to Stealing his success.
It insists on referring to them as "Israeli Arabs," in an attempt to portray itself as a "multicultural state" that encourages its Arab citizens to be creative!
But the artists themselves, such as Gibran Brothers Band globally recognized, they are keen to emphasize at every opportunity that they are PalestiniansThey dedicate their work to a free Palestine and to their people who are steadfast under occupation.
However, Israeli media insist on calling them "Israeli Arabs," which also applies to Mahmoud Darwish and Samih al-Qasim and other cultural icons.

The Jewish Nation-State Law recently passed by the Israeli Knesset clearly reveals the nature of this entity.
Only followers of Judaism are granted The right to full citizenshipincluding The right to self-determination.
Why? Because Israel, as it defines itself, is a Jewish state.
The rest are just Temporary residentsAs Dore Gold, former director of the Foreign Ministry and one of Netanyahu's closest advisors, put it.

When journalist Mehdi Hassan asked him:
"Are Palestinian citizens of Israel entitled to self-determination under this law, or is it only for Jews?"
answered: "No. Canadian immigrants in America don't have that right, and neither do Mexican immigrants."!

She Hatred mixed with envyBecause deep down, the Zionists know that they are Even if they lived two thousand years in this land, they would not be able to love it or sacrifice for it as the Palestinians do.
They will not know the ecstasy of the fragrance of its soil, nor the familiarity of the little birds, nor the faces of the grasses and flowers on the hills.
They will not name the breeze, nor will they memorize the tone of the sun on their skin.

This land is not A production unit managed from air-conditioned villas with drones.
They are A millennia-old love story between two living beings, which can only be understood by Children of the earth.
