A Palestinian activist was assassinated on Friday morning as he entered his apartment in Almaty city in Kazakhstan.
The Palestinian Embassy in Kazakhstan said the Palestinian citizen Dhiaa al-Bashiti, was shot in the heart and killed from a zero distance.
Al-Bashiti reportedly succumbed to his wounds 15 minutes after the attack.
The Palestinian Ambassador Montasser Abu Zeid said the casualty is among the founders of the Palestinian community in Almaty.
He added that investigations are ongoing by the Kazakhstani police to uncover the details of the crime.
Preparations have also been underway in coordination with the chairman of the Palestinian Community in Almaty, Muhammad al-Hindi, to hold al-Bashiti’s funeral procession.

Palestine Advocacy Project, an NGO based in the Boston area, has launched a series of ads portraying prominent Israeli officials, such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and their disregard for the safety and well-being of Palestinians.
These ads feature violent and bigoted direct quotations which highlight the contempt Israel’s US-backed leaders display for basic Palestinian human rights.
“If you do your own research, you’ll quickly find many more hateful quotes,” said Palestine Advocacy Project member Maggie Liu. “As a college student living on a politically-active campus, I know firsthand how little young people know about the reality of the situation. I hope these ads will bring some much-needed dialogue to campuses across the country.”
According to the PNN, nine universities across the United States, including Harvard, Boston University, Cornell, and University of California-Berkeley are publishing these ads in their newspapers. The ads quote a number of Israeli officials, such as Israeli deputy defense minister Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan, who asserted that Palestinians “are beasts, they are not human.” The ads all include a link to a webpage, (www.pal-ad.org/quotes) with additional quotes from Israeli leaders.
“It is beyond disturbing that someone in a position of power can say these things and not even flinch,” noted Farida El Hefni, a University of Rochester student. “How are these politicians that are so quick to accuse people of being anti-Israel or anti-Semitic the same ones using racist language to describe an entire group of people?”
Palestine Advocacy Project created these ads in order to spark conversation among young Americans on university campuses across the United States. The ads present a side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is seldom featured in the American mainstream media. The indisputable, direct quotes from prominent Israeli officials are provocative, and in many cases, explicitly racist.
Palestine Advocacy Project has spent the past two years exposing the hypocrisy surrounding the U.S.’s relationship with Israel, and challenging negative stereotypes of Palestinians.
The “One Word” campaign, which was released in 2014, showcased the many forms of violence Palestinians are subjected to on a daily basis.
More recently, PalAd brought the works of Palestinian Poet Laureate Mahmoud Darwish to public spaces. This latest campaign, which focuses on the violent rhetoric of the upper echelons of Israeli political leadership, will give the American public new information on why the oppression of Palestinians continues.
“The sooner people realize that this isn’t just about conflict over land and that there are people literally calling for the erasure of Palestinians,” continues El Hefni, “the sooner we can get somewhere.”

Palestine Advocacy Project Exposes US-Backed Israeli Leaders' Racist and Extremist Rhetoric
This election cycle, mainstream American politicians are lining up to condemn Donald Trump's racist, inflammatory rhetoric and repeated incitements of violence against political opponents. Yet in Israel, Trump's proposed apartheid wall already exists--across the occupied West Bank. More than 50 racist laws and counting directly target Palestinians with discrimination. Yet both the Democratic and Republican establishments, pandering to the well-funded Israel lobby, let Israel off the hook time and time again. Because, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put it, “I know what America is. America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction.” |
Palestine Advocacy Project has taken notable quotations from Israel's US-backed political leaders and displayed them in prominent media outlets across the U.S. Scroll through them below. Isn't it about time America's leaders started connecting the dots and holding Israel's leaders accountable?
While most Americans were horrified when Trump proposed banning all Muslims from entering the U.S. and repeatedly urged his supporters to beat up protesters, the Prime Minister of Israel says that the way to deal with Palestinians is to “beat them up, not once but repeatedly, beat them up so it hurts so badly, until it’s unbearable. ” Israel's Minister of Education says “I’ve killed lots of Arabs in my life – and there’s no problem with that.” Donald Trump believes in "taking out [terrorists'] families." Meanwhile, Israel's Minister of Justice calls for murdering all Palestinians on her Facebook page: “[Palestinians] are all enemy combatants, and their blood shall be on all their heads; now this also includes the mothers of the martyrs, who send them to hell with flowers and kisses.”
We think enough is enough. Join our fight to change the discussion about Israel and Palestine in the United States.

The population of the Gaza Strip reportedly exceeded two million, on Tuesday night, following the birth of Walid Jihad Shaat, from the Rafah district, southern Gaza.
Official sources stated, according to Al Ray, that the Gaza Strip broke the barrier of 2 million yesterday evening, when the newborn baby was recorded as the second million, while number two million and one was noted as Lana Mohammed Rafiq Ayyad, from Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, eastern Gaza.

Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas was hospitalized Thursday and underwent a complete medical diagnosis, including heart function tests, but the results were reported normal and he was discharged on the same day from hospital.
Abbas, 81, was taken to a hospital in Ramallah in the West Bank after feeling tired and suffering chest pains. He is known to be a heavy smoker with weight problems, and has a history of health problems.
“The president is doing a regular checkup in the hospital. The doctors said he is totally normal,” Nabil Abu Rudeineh, Abbas’s spokesman, stated.
The Jerusalem Post newspaper reported yesterday that Abbas underwent a cardiac catheterization, where a tube was inserted into a blood vessel to examine the strength of his heart. Abbas did not comment on his health after leaving the hospital but later told the state-run Palestine TV that everything went well, according to the Associated Press.
Abbas has been in office since 2005 following the death of President Yasser Arafat, and he refuses to step down despite the expiration of his term of office.
