Today, famous Palestinian cartoonist Mohammed Sabaaneh was fired from his job at Al-Hayat Al-Jadida (a Palestinian newspaper) due to his criticism of the traitorous Authority. The attached cartoons show Mahmoud Abbas thinking deeply about synonyms for "condemn" as well as copying & pasting his statements about martyrs whether they be in Jenin, Nablus, or Ramallah, and "condemning" the occupation.

Mohammed said he rejects the state of silence and helplessness that the politicians have reached, saying it is his duty to publish in work. He goes on:

"I am in great pain for the martyrs of Jenin, who ascend daily... I am in pain for our prisoners. But if the decision to dismiss me was the result of my standing with my family in Jenin, its camp, and Nablus and its town.. well, this is the cheapest price I could pay when compared to the shoes of a child whose blood did not even dry in Jenin."

At a time in which 80% of Palestinians want Abbas to resign from his expired presidency and heightened tensions with the unrepresentative "Authority," the repressive PA has in tandem escalated its silencing, oppression, and pressure against those who speak out against them.

This is not the first time that criticism of the gang of Oslo had led to repression or even death. We remember anti-imperialist Oslo critic and martyred cartoonist Naji Al-Ali and political activist and martyr Nizar Banat, both killed at the hands of the PA or its affiliates.

Armed clashes continue in #Jenin after it was invaded by special forces. At least one Palestinian is seriously injured, and there are unconfirmed reports of IOF injuries.

The IOF has sent massive reinforcements at this moment.
