Pandemic spread of the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a serious threat to communities and health care systems across the country. As of April 9, nearly 80 COVID-19 vaccine candidates pdf icon[32 pages]external icon were reported to be under development worldwide, primarily in the pre clinical stage. Multiple vaccine technologies are under evaluation, including subunit, nucleic acid, virus vector, and live attenuated virus vaccines. Many of these vaccines target the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2, which is a major virulence factor as it mediates viral attachment and entry to the host cell.
One candidate vaccine is currently in Phase II clinical trials: An adenovirus type 5 vector vaccine, China Four candidate vaccines are currently undergoing Phase I clinical trials: A messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine (mRNA-1273, Moderna TX, Inc.), U.S.
A deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccine (INO-4800, Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc.), U.S.
A lentiviral vector vaccine (pathogen-specific aAPC, Shenzhen Geno-Immune Medical Institute), China
A lentiviral vector vaccine with cytoxic T lymphocytes (LV-SMENP-DC, Shenzhen Geno-Immune Medical Institute), China The mRNA and DNA technologies used for the first COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials in the U.S. are novel, with no licensed human vaccine products. These technologies have the advantages of rapid vaccine development and scale-up, and thus have been used to develop candidate vaccines for other pathogens that are emerging or have pandemic potential.

Merovingians Are Returning

Merovingians – the first royal dynasty of France .

Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene had a daughter .
Over time , the descendants of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of France .
They are known in history as the Merovingians , the long-haired kings .
Long hair was a symbol of royalty in the Merovingian family .
At the time of the liquidation of the Roman Empire , there were two forces capable of taking power over the world .
These are the Merovingians and the popes .
When the Western Roman Empire fell , it turned out that throughout its territory there is a developed system – the church .
The church was supposed to recognize the power of the descendants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and became God .
He gave power on Earth to his descendants , the Merovingians , or rather , his best descendant from this dynasty .
But the desire of Jesus Christ about the power of the Merovingians over the world was opposed by the popes .
They did not want to give power in the church and power over the world to the Merovingians .
In November 751 , Childeric , the last king of the Meroing dynasty , was deposed and tonsured a monk by order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ depriving him of all royal prerogatives .
His son Theodorich was hidden in the abbey of Fontenel ( Saint-Vandril ) .
Childeric died about four years later ( about 755 years ) as a monk .
Power over France was given to the Carolingians , who had no right to do so .
In fact , the Western Roman Empire was abolished by Jesus Christ so that the Merovingians , His descendants , would create the Kingdom of God .
But the popes first removed the Merovingians from power , and then restored @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , 800 , Pope Leo III proclaimed Charlemagne from the Pipinid-Carolingian dynasty , “ Charles Augustus , the Great and Peace-Keeping Roman Emperor Crowned by God.
” On Christmas Day of Jesus Christ , the Pope restored His enemy – the Roman Empire .
Royal people from the branch of the Merovingian dynasty became princes in the West Slavic Union of Obodrites .
Monarchs from this genus liberated the Slavs from the rule of the Avars .
After some time , the Obodrit state and the ruling monarchs from the Merovingian family were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
From the monarchs of Obodrites came Rurik , the founder of the first Russian dynasty of the Rurikovich .
This means that the Russian Rurik dynasty is a continuation of the French Merovingian dynasty .
Rurikovich created Rus , a huge state in Eastern Europe .
Over time , Rus was divided into Russia , Ukraine and Belarus .
Ivan the Terrible is one of the last representatives of the Rurikovich dynasty in Russia .
The killers hired by the top leaders of England poisoned Ivan the Terrible .
Most likely , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Ivan the Terrible .
Another son of Ivan the Terrible , Fyodor Ivanovich , died childless in 1598 .
So the Rurik dynasty broke off in Russia .
The popes and the monarchs of nations have repeatedly tried to destroy the descendants of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene .
The popes destroyed the Merovingians .
The popes , along with the German monarchs , destroyed the monarchs of the Union of Obodrites , the descendants of the Merovingians .

God was angry and wanted to punish and destroy the world for the removal of the Rurikovich ( descendants of the Merovingians ) from power .
Soon , God began to send punishments to the Earth .
The time of famine , riots , wars and civil wars began .
Shortly after the death of the last Russian tsar from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Three years , from 1601 to 1603 , were barren .
Frosts were even in the summer months , and snow fell in September .
Probably the cause of this was a comet and some other large cosmic body that caused the eruption of the Huainaputin volcano in Peru on February 19 , 1600 .
This was followed by volcanic winter .
The price of bread has grown 100 times .
Famine began , known in history as the “ Great Famine ” ( 1601-1603 ) .
Hundreds of thousands of people became @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , where the government distributed bread and money to the needy .

Monarchs of Obodrites (Obotrites)
Royal people from the branch of the Merovingian dynasty became princes in the West Slavic Union of Obodrites. Monarchs from this genus liberated the Slavs from the rule of the Avars. After some time, the Obodrit state and the ruling monarchs from the Merovingian family were destroyed by the German monarchs and popes.

(St. Matthew 24:29)
1598 – 1613 – Time of Troubles in Russia
The Time of Troubles is a catastrophe of the Apocalypse on a small scale. God was angry and wanted to punish and destroy the world for the removal of the Rurikovich (descendants of the Merovingians) from power. Soon, God began to send punishments to the Earth. The time of famine, riots, wars and civil wars began.
Shortly after the death of the last Russian tsar from the Rurik dynasty, a famine began . Three years, from 1601 to 1603, were barren. Frosts were even in the summer months, and snow fell in September. Probably the cause of this was a comet and some other large cosmic body that caused the eruption of the Huainaputin volcano in Peru on February 19, 1600. This was followed by volcanic winter.

In the dead of days
Poem by Konstantin Balmont
Legend
In the dead days of Boris Godunov,
In the darkness of the Russian cloudy country,
Crowds of people wandered homeless
And at night two moons rose.
Two suns shone in the morning from the sky
Fiercely look at the Earth.
And a long cry: “Bread! Bread! Bread!”
From the darkness of the forests sought to the king.
Withered skeletons on the streets
They eagerly ate stunted grass,
They look like cattle – brutalized and naked
And dreams came true in reality.
The coffins, heavy with rot,
The living was given stinking hellish bread
Later, people found hay in the mouth of the dead,
And every house was a gloomy den.
From the storms and whirlwinds the towers fell
And heaven lurking among the clouds of triplets
Suddenly lit up in red
Revealing the battle of the unearthly armies.
Unseen birds flew in
Eagles soared with a cry over Moscow,
At the crossroads, silently, the elders waited,
Shaking his gray-haired head.
Among the people wandering death and anger,
Upon seeing the comet, the earth trembled.
And these days, Demetrius got up from the tomb,
Otrepyev moved his spirit.
Balmont. Favorites. Poems, translations, articles. Moscow: Fiction, 1980.
When the “Time of Troubles” was, God did not begin to destroy the world and continued the time of grace for three hundred years. The place of the Rurikovich was taken by the Romanov dynasty, although they did not have the right to do so.
Symbolic events accompanied the reign of the Romanov dynasty. The beginning and end of the reign of the dynasty is associated with the number 13, which is possibly the number of Satan. 1613 – the beginning of the Romanov reign, the date contains the number 13. 1913 – the last peaceful year of the reign of this dynasty, the number 13 is again present. In 1914 the First World War began, during which the Romanov dynasty was overthrown.
During the reign of the Romanovs, Nikon Church reform was carried out. Subsequently, the Old Believers played an important role in the removal of the Romanov dynasty from power in Russia.
In 1666, the Romanov dynasty ruled in Russia. The number 666, like the number 13, is unusual and sinister.
The overthrow of the Romanovs
In 1917, the Jews committed a revolution in Russia, and in 1918 they executed the Romanovs. The generalized image of the Romanovs is the Antichrist, dressed in white clothes .. The generalized image of the rulers of the USSR is the same Antichrist, but dressed in red clothes. The Jewish revolution in Russia in 1917 is the overthrow of the white antichrist by the red antichrist. The Jewish Red Antichrist is much more decisive and effective. Jews quickly made the USSR a superpower. In 1991, the USSR collapsed. But in 1999, Putin came to power in Russia and began to rebuild the USSR.
The overthrow of the globalists
Globalists, enemies of God, have seized power over the United States. Their puppet presidents were George W. Bush father, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush son, Barack Obama.
In 2017, the President of the United States was Donald Trump. Chabad Jews and Christians created an alliance and overthrew the globalists. In this they helped Russia, which seeks to restore the USSR. For a while, Russia (the new USSR) will gain power over the world (except for the USA and Canada).
Covenant Restoration and the New Exodus
The mission of Donald Trump, destined by God, to create the conditions for a new Exodus of the people of God.
The Templars believed that their mission was to return the throne to the Merovingians. The story of the Merovingians, as the descendants of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, the Templars retold in the form of an allegory of the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. Holy Blood is the descendants of Jesus Christ, the Merovingians. The Holy Grail is the sacred chalice where the blood of Jesus Christ was collected. Under this sacred bowl, the Templars understood the womb of Mary Magdalene.
The popes destroyed the Knights Templar, but could not get their huge treasures. The Templars collected these treasures for a man from the Merovingian family, who will become the monarch of the Kingdom of God on Earth. God’s Chosen One found these treasures, and they rightfully belong to him.
Soon, God’s Chosen One will arrive in the United States and bring the treasures of the Templars. He will redeem all the shares of the United States and Canada. God’s Chosen One, Descendant of the Merovingians, and God’s people in the United States (and Canada) will restore the Covenant. They will make a New Exodus.
Millennium, Kingdom of God
A new state of God’s people will be created on the territory of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia (Russia to the Urals, as well as land in Europe to the Rhine). The era of the Millennium will begin.
The coronavirus epidemic and subsequent global catastrophes will lead to the establishment of Merovingian power over the world. These disasters will far surpass the troubles of the Time of Troubles. Then God sent punishments due to the removal of the Merovingian-Rurikovich from power. In 1914, Jesus Christ became God in heaven. Jesus Christ is the God who restored the throne to himself.
And I heard, as it were, the voice of a large nation, like the sound of many waters, like the voice of powerful thunders, saying: hallelujah! for the Lord God Almighty reigned.
(Revelation of John the Evangelist 19: 6)
Now Jesus Christ began the catastrophes of the Apocalypse in order to return the throne to the Merovingians, more precisely, to his descendant from the Merovingian dynasty.
Psalm of David
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
(Psalms 2:1-12)

veteranstoday--2020-04-29--Syria: Tanker Detonated at Market. Suspect Massacre with 42 dead. White Helmets on site…

Dozens of people , including 11 children , were killed in a giant explosion in the Syrian city of Afrin after a tanker loaded with fuel , or other explosive liquid according to Russia Today , was blown up in the middle of the crowded street of Raju Road , next to an outdoor market .
The deflagration killed at least 42 people causing 47 serious injuries .
A giant roar was heard by witnesses , according to the first reports from the BBC , RT , SANA and ANHA , a fireball incinerated everything for tens of meters while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visible sky miles away .
The rescuers who intervened on the spot found themselves facing a chilling scenario of torn bodies and blood-smeared debris .
The attack brings to mind what always happened with the explosion of a truck in the same city on January 29 , 2019 which caused three victims having occurred on a road at that time with little traffic .
The one on Tuesday 28 April , however , took place near a jihadist post of the Sultan Murad faction , known for the numerous militants sent to Libya @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support of the Tripoli government , but also for the infiltration of former ISIS chiefs as demonstrated by a report from the Rojava Information Center published by Gospa News .
According to an ANF article , 15 mercenaries would be dead .
Only 6 according to Syrian Observatory for Human Rights .
The massacre took place in the city that the Turkish army occupied in 2018 with the Olive Branch operation depriving the Kurds who live there of all rights and leaving them under the control of formations of radical Sunni Muslims .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Al-Sharqiyah predominate , also blamed for the killing of the Kurdish pacifist Hevrin Khalaf , leader of the Future Syria Party who was carrying out a project of alliance between Kurds , Sunnis , Shiites and Christians in Rojava , the region of North East Syria administered by the Kurds .

Many of their leaders , according to detailed reports @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recruited by Afrin ’ s jihadist brigades .
Although the high number of dead jihadist mercenaries supports the thesis of an attack hostile to them , in the light of these scenarios the massacre becomes very suspect for various reasons .

The deflagration killed at least 42 people causing 47 serious injuries.
A giant roar was heard by witnesses, according to the first reports from the BBC, RT, SANA and ANHA, a fireball incinerated everything for tens of meters while a column of smoke rose in the visible sky miles away. The rescuers who intervened on the spot found themselves facing a chilling scenario of torn bodies and blood-smeared debris.
The attack brings to mind what always happened with the explosion of a truck in the same city on January 29, 2019 which caused three victims having occurred on a road at that time with little traffic.
The one on Tuesday 28 April, however, took place near a jihadist post of the Sultan Murad faction, known for the numerous militants sent to Libya in the military mission of Turkey in support of the Tripoli government, but also for the infiltration of former ISIS chiefs as demonstrated by a report from the Rojava Information Center published by Gospa News. According to an ANF article, 15 mercenaries would be dead. Only 6 according to Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The massacre took place in the city that the Turkish army occupied in 2018 with the Olive Branch operation depriving the Kurds who live there of all rights and leaving them under the control of formations of radical Sunni Muslims.
Among them, the ferocious jihadists of Al-Sharqiyah predominate, also blamed for the killing of the Kurdish pacifist Hevrin Khalaf, leader of the Future Syria Party who was carrying out a project of alliance between Kurds, Sunnis, Shiites and Christians in Rojava, the region of North East Syria administered by the Kurds.
Robberies, raids on crops, beatings, rapes and kidnappings for the purpose of ransom and homicides are the threats facing the population every day in an evident demographic replacement plan that has already been partially successful, since there are about 200 thousand displaced people in those areas. There last year the Islamic fundamentalists supported by Turkey killed a child with Down syndrome together with his grandfather and father kidnapped with him.
Some mercenary terrorists supported by Ankara were also killed in the attack. For this reason, the governor of the nearby Turkish border province of Hatay claimed that the tanker was detonated with a hand grenade.
He and the Turkish Ministry of Defense blamed a group of Kurdish militants, the YPG, whom they see as linked to groups of Kurdish militants within Turkey. The Turkish government accuses the YPG of being an extension of the bandit Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which is designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the EU.

This is obviously exacerbating the tensions between Syrians loyal to President Bashar Al Assad and the Kurds who have never received the coveted official recognition of their autonomy in Rojava and occasionally allied with the Syrian Arab Army only after the invasion launched by Turkey Army with the Peace Spring operation on 9 October 2019 according to the will of President Recep Tayyp Erdogan.
Secondly, for over ten years the PKK, especially after the birth of the autonomous region of Kurdistan in Iraq, has abandoned the tactics of the explosive attacks while those carried out in Rojava by the kamikaze jihadists that caused some victims last October in the city of Qamishlo are known.
Therefore, we cannot excluded the hypothesis that it is a false-flag sucide-attack conducted by Islamic fundamentalists to discredit the Kurds in front of the international community to which they reported the serious human rights violations that are taking place in Afrin and culminating in last December in Rojava with a massacre of children caused with bombings against civilian homes by pro-Turkish mercenaries.
Indeed, the episode was previewed on British BBC TV thanks to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) founded in the United Kingdom by an anti-Assad Syrian exile. The latter has always given great prominence to the relief missions of the Syrian Civil Defense, founded by the former 007 British military James Le Mesurier, who died in recent months in mysterious circumstances falling from the balcony of his accommodation in Istanbul, and better known by the name of White helmets.
White Helmets, financed by the UK and US governments, has been repeatedly accused by Russia before the UN of being a terrorist activity, involved even in organ trafficking on corpses but above all alleged as a supporter of the Al Nusra front (today Hayyaat Tahrir Al-Sham ), armed wing of Al Qaeda in Syria and in the disputed stronghold of Idlib.
It should not be forgotten, in fact, that even the jihadists who control Afrin of the Al-Sharqiyah faction are considered Qaedists. But above all it must be remembered that the White Helmets are suspected of having organized the false chemical attack on Douma to blame the Syrian government also through the exposure to chlorine gas of tied children in order to present real corpses with chemical burns as hypothesized by an expert report concealed but then revealed by Osint sources of the engineer Ian Henderson of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
This is why the presence of the White Helmets on the site of the massacre is by itself a very suspect element on which it is difficult to shed light since the area is controlled by Turkey which despite multiple accusations for war crimes, including an attack with the white phosphorus who burned children last October in Rojava, has never been put under investigation by international bodies.
Ankara is in fact protected by the NATO of which it is part, it is governed by the Muslim Brotherhood who through Qatar have important business relationships with the arms lobby in the United Kingdom and in Italy but also very close diplomatic relations with Russia which continues in its attempts to avoid new escalations in Syria.

Click to donate > > A group of current and former OPCW employees have explosively slammed the organization for producing what they say is yet another “ procedurally and scientifically flawed ” report into alleged chemical weapons attacks in Syria .
Writing at the Grayzone , the insiders denounced the “ compromised ” investigation into chemical incidents in the town @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probe was conducted by the watchdog ’ s newly formed Investigation and Identification Team ( IIT ) , which claimed there are “ reasonable grounds to believe ” the Syrian government was responsible .
The IIT concluded that sarin and chlorine bombs were dropped by Syrian forces on Ltamenah in a series of attacks in March 2017 , saying it was “ unable to identify any other plausible explanation.
” The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the alleged evidence gathered by the team came mostly from anti-government groups eager to see a regime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ misinformation.
” The IIT report on Ltamenah was instantly amplified by Western media as fact , despite claims by high-level OPCW whistleblowers that the organization ’ s leadership had suppressed evidence during a previous probe into an alleged chemical attack in Douma in 2018 .
The suppressed evidence , in that instance , had strongly suggested the incident may have been staged by jihadist rebel groups in order to frame the Syrian government and trigger a Western intervention .
The OPCW , however , publicly offered a narrative which backed up Western @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , British and French air strikes conducted in the immediate aftermath of the incident .
The fact that insiders are now also disputing the credibility of the Ltamenah report proves that “ dissension within the OPCW ranks extends well beyond the Douma investigation , ” the Grayzone said in its editor ’ s note .
The reports are so flawed and “ politically motivated ” that many OPCW professionals “ no longer wish to be associated ” with them , the group wrote , and many feel they should not be seen as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all .
The Ltamenah report highlights the fact that “ influential state parties ” are misusing the OPCW to further their foreign policy objectives , and that the IIT was formed not to investigate the incidents but “ simply to find the Syrian government guilty , ” they said .
Indeed , the ITT merely “ glossed over ” some “ glaring technical weaknesses ” in reports from fact-finding missions to Ltamenah .
Further damaging the report ’ s credibility is the fact that not one single member of the IIT conducted a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” in the case was provided by enemies of the Syrian government – some of whom are reportedly “ well-known British military figureheads ” who stood to gain by implicating the Syrian government , they said .
The OPCW insiders also took issue with the composition of the IIT , which surprisingly is made up of investigators “ without any background or expertise in chemistry.
” These so-called investigators are reliant on an “ approved ” list of “ nameless , faceless ” experts who represent Western intelligence agencies — a situation which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This “ one-sided array of experts ” may be enough by itself to invalidate the conclusions of the IIT , they said .
While the IIT did lend some credence to the possibility of the attacks being staged , it quickly became clear that they did so only “ with the express purpose of dismissing it , ” they added .
In the article , the staff also briefly examined the question of motive , saying it “ figures squarely within the realm of criminal investigation.
” It is fair to question @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use chemical weapons when they were “ in control ” of the conflict and not at their most desperate moments , they said .
Referring to a claim that chemical weapons , including sarin gas , were being stored at Shayrat Airbase in 2017 , the group says the evidence ranks alongside intelligence reports leading up to the 2003 US invasion of Iraq in terms of its level of credibility .
The combination of the political bias , the compromised and flawed evidence , the lack of transparency and the singular reliance upon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leads to “ serious doubts ” about the IIT ’ s conclusions , the staff wrote .
What the IIT produced was simply the “ desired Western opinion ” about what “ could have ” happened .
The “ weak language ” stating there are “ reasonable grounds to believe ” the Syrian government was responsible arguably implies a 50/50 scenario in which there are also reasonable grounds “ not to believe ” it , they said .
“ At the end of the day , we must be clear that this is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one-sided opinion , ” they wrote .
Finally , the OPCW insiders took aim at the “ complicit ” mainstream media for interpreting the shaky conclusions of the investigation as hard fact , ensuring the flawed report “ is met with no scientific challenge whatsoever .
”

[ Editor’s Note: The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is coming under a growing assault from employees for rigging its reports. VT salutes these employees for standing up for the stated goals of their organization, which have been sadly compromised.
But they have a big problem, best portrayed by an old saying that will date me: A fish stinks from the head, meaning top management is stacking the deck in determining an investigation for an outside client.
As old VT readers know, we have a lot of old timer Cold War people here, who have long histories of having seen such “riggings” being done as just another day at the office. Why? It is because Intel organizations have a long history of penetrating such “independent” organizations so they can make rigged reports when needed. It is an old game.
What we have seen on the OCPW’s Syria chemical weapons reporting just reeks of this. But that is just one layer of the problem. If pressure built up to have an “independent” outside investigation of the OCPW’s work, and an Intel penetration into the org was responsible for said report rigging, what would you expect an involved Intel organization to do?
Those of you who chose “rig the investigation of the investigation” get a gold star and have futures as internet Intel analysts. I am not been mean to the Intel industry. It does a lot of important and valuable work, but not always.

veteranstoday--2020-04-29--20 Questions Hamas chief won’t answer

20 Questions Hamas chief won’t answer

I recently asked Hamas if Ismail Haniyeh would agree to do an email interview .
I said I hadn ’ t seen a recent interview with Mr Haniyeh and thought it would be helpful to readers in the West if they knew more about the man and his hopes for the future .
So I repeated the request and included the 20 questions suggesting that these might “ provide an opportunity to forge a better understanding and state the case for peace.
” I ’ ve had the same problem with the Fatah bunch .
Six years ago , at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ John Kerry ’ s much-trumpeted “ framework ” for more lopsided peace talks between Mahmoud Abbas ’ s puppet administration and the Israelis , I asked Dr Hanan Ashrawi of the Palestine Liberation Organization for an interview and sent her some draft questions .
She was then ( and presumably still is ) a member of the PLO executive committee and highly articulate .
Western activists regard her as a ‘ good egg ’ and wish they could hear her speak on behalf of Palestinians more often .
I got no reply , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assistant asked me make contact again in a few weeks , which I did .
But I heard nothing back , not even an acknowledgement .
It ’ s a familiar story with Palestinian politicians… they treat the media , and even friendly journalists and writers , with contempt .
Then they wonder why it ’ s Israel ’ s narrative that gets broadcast .
So it is hardly surprising that Palestinians never make progress towards freedom .
Indeed , that prospect is more distant than ever despite having international law and most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Losing so heavily , in the circumstances , is a remarkable achievement ; so remarkable , you wonder if it ’ s deliberate .
And whether Palestinian resistance is a sham .
I ’ ve been writing about the Palestinian struggle for 15 years , the same length of time Mahmoud Abbas has been in the driving seat in Palestine .
In that long , grinding period I ’ ve had no help from Palestinian politicians or their bureaucrats .
I find them an uncommunicative ‘ awkward squad ’ , the very opposite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my experience , are warm and friendly and helpful .
They must be wondering what they ’ ve done to deserve a political class that ’ s such crap .
Abbas has been a big noise in Palestinian affairs for decades .
In 2003 Arafat appointed him prime minister of the Palestinian National Authority ( PNA ) .
Some say the West foisted Abbas on Arafat .
A power struggle ensued , and after Arafat ’ s suspicious death in 2004 Abbas was seen as a natural successor .
Abbas ’ s term @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officially ended in 2009 but the Basic Law allowed him an extension of one year whereupon he was voted into office indefinitely , the sort of thing usually seen in banana republics and often terminating in a bloodbath .
He was also chosen as President of the State of Palestine by the PLO ’ s central council .
So nobody else has had a look-in for 15 years , during which Palestinians have seen a continuous slide downhill while the Israelis ’ colonisation and expansion programme goes from strength to strength with annexation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has never been allowed to play a part .
Furthermore Abbas has repeatedly given the Israelis time to cement their ill-gotten gains , readily agreeing to more bogus negotiations arranged by the same dishonest brokers .
And he inexplicably dragged his feet over joining the International Criminal Court .
During his over-long tenure Abbas has failed to unite the Palestinians under a single purposeful voice .
On the contrary he has driven the factions further apart by letting rip the old Fatah-Hamas rivalry .
His regime fails to keep the world informed or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He is not noted for tactical brilliance and his embassies in the West are lazy , uncommunicative and unco-operative , and behave as if under orders not to ‘ make waves ’ .
I myself was branded “ an enemy of Palestine ” by the London embassy , an insult I wear as a badge of honour .
Abbas seems to be the darling of the West and of Israel , and the Palestinian Authority under Abbas is frequently accused of collaborating with Israel in its brutal oppression .
The Israelis are said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They ’ d hate to lose him .
Hamas is usually blamed for any whiff of corruption but the PA is bursting with it .
The confidential Palestinian Papers , leaked by Al-Jazeera in 2011 , revealed the shambolic conduct of the so-called peace process and how the Palestinian team allowed the Israelis to walk all over them , with US help .
Then in 2015 a damning report by The Coalition for Accountability and Integrity ( AMAN ) titled Absolute Power , Total Corruption appeared .
According to the Commissioner-General , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elections and the absence of the Legislative Council led to the president ’ s monopolizing the three powers — legislative , judicial , executive — which has served as fertile soil for some cases of corruption.
” But even this catalogue of misbehaviour failed to hammer the final nail into Abbas ’ s political coffin .
He ’ s still there , and the Palestinians ’ position is dire .
Six years ago Hamas announced they had appointed bright , attractive 23 year-old Isra al Modallal as the media face of the Resistance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ college in Bradford , Yorkshire , a part of England where people are noted for blunt speaking and their dry sense of humour .
I remember thinking at the time that if Isra brought some of these qualities to Gaza it would stand her , and Hamas , in good stead .
Her arrival was supposed to be part of a “ public transformation ” for Hamas that included a new head of media , Ihab Ghussein , who was to “ orchestrate a new government website ” .
So things were looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone here in the West noticed a transformation ?
And what about Hamas ’ s media office ?
Well , I ’ ve just experienced some of their rudeness .
Mr Haniyeh ’ s ‘ 20 Questions ’ are set out here : 1 ) Wellwishers in the UK pray for Palestinians in Gaza who are facing the Covid-19 menace trapped under Israel ’ s cruel blockade without the necessary equipment , medication and protection for hospital staff .
How bad is the situation with regard to public health in normal circumstances , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing to help in the present crisis ?
2 ) You were born in a refugee camp yet graduated from the Islamic University of Gaza , a remarkable achievement .
How difficult was this for your parents – and for you growing up in those circumstances ?
What was family life like in those dark days ?
3 ) And how difficult is it for ambitious students studying in Gaza today ?
Can they attend any of the West Bank universities ?
Can they leave to find a career abroad ; and if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
4 ) After becoming involved in politics you were jailed several times by Israel and deported to southern Lebanon along with other key figures in Hamas such as Mahmoud al-Zahar .
This must have been an important time in forming your political outlook .
How did this exile prepare you for what followed ?
5 ) You were close to Sheikh Ahmed Yassin , the founder and spiritual leader of Hamas .
What are the most important lessons you learned from him ?
6 ) Hamas was condemned throughout the West for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about Jews .
It was a diplomatic suicide note .
How has the revised Charter of 2017 been received around the world ?
And , given the lost ground in the propaganda battle with Israel , why did it take so long – 11 years – to produce a more acceptable document ?
7 ) Winning the 2006 election fair and square provoked great hostility towards Hamas resulting in 14 years of unimaginable misery and hardship for the people of Gaza marginalized and starved by Israel ’ s blockade .
How do you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the international community to intervene ?
8 ) You have been targeted for assassination by Israel several times .
Did they ever come close to eliminating you .
9 ) You succeeded Khaled Meshaal as Head of Hamas Politbureau in 2016 .
Was this a difficult act to follow ?
And how does your approach to the task differ from Meshaal ’ s ?
10 ) Have you any regrets about your actions while in control of Gaza ?
Given the harsh conditions would you have done anything differently ?
11 ) You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hamas government was prepared to accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders and to offer the Israelis a long-term truce if they recognised the Palestinians ’ national rights , all in accordance with UN resolutions .
Is this still your position ?
12 ) The Palestinian cause has lost support in some quarters through endless Fatah-Hamas rivalry and a failure to unite .
What is the answer to this ?
13 ) Israel and the US regularly vilify Hamas by labelling it “ Iran-backed ” and linking it to Hezbollah .
How @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
14 ) I met you briefly in Gaza in 2007 when Israel ’ s blockade was biting deep .
Relations between Hamas and the Christian community seemed good at the time .
I even heard that some Hamas ministers sent their children to the Catholic school .
Is this still the case ?
And do Christians in Gaza have anything to fear from their Muslim neighbours ?
15 ) Palestinian embassies in the West make no real attempt to compete against pro-Israel propaganda .
If Hamas were in government how different would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 16 ) If Hamas had been permitted to exercise its democratic right to govern after winning the election in 2006 , where would Palestine be today ?
17 ) BDS ( Boycott , Divestment , Sanctions ) is an increasingly important pillar in Palestine ’ s struggle for freedom and self-determination .
What else would you like sympathisers in the West to do to help the cause ?
18 ) Politicians in the West always talk of a negotiated peace and never of justice and international law .
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad , apparently quoting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ the occupying regime in Jerusalem will vanish from the page of time ” .
Is that your belief also , or are you resigned to the likelihood that Muslims and Christians of the Holy Land will have to live with the Zionist regime indefinitely ?
19 ) In your younger days you were a rising football star .
Do you still follow the game ?
Israel bombed Gaza ’ s football stadium in 2006 and again in 2012 .
It was repaired by FIFA last year .
Are you confident that Palestinian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national team will be allowed to participate at international level without Israeli interference ?
20 ) Following the democratic 2006 election Hamas ’ s team of ministers seemed , on paper , to be as talented and well-qualified as any running Western governments .
If they had been allowed to show what they were made of and the Hamas government had enjoyed the recognition and freedom of movement of goods and people normally expected in an international setting , what would Gaza and the West Bank look like today , 14 years later @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wishes to answer , he ’ s still welcome .
But , as with anything political in Palestine , I ’ m not holding my breath .

…by Stuart Littlewood, Britain
I recently asked Hamas if Ismail Haniyeh would agree to do an email interview. I said I hadn’t seen a recent interview with Mr Haniyeh and thought it would be helpful to readers in the West if they knew more about the man and his hopes for the future.
No reply.
So I repeated the request and included the 20 questions suggesting that these might “provide an opportunity to forge a better understanding and state the case for peace.”
Again no reply.
I’ve had the same problem with the Fatah bunch. Six years ago, at the time of US Secretary of State John Kerry’s much-trumpeted “framework” for more lopsided peace talks between Mahmoud Abbas’s puppet administration and the Israelis, I asked Dr Hanan Ashrawi of the Palestine Liberation Organization for an interview and sent her some draft questions.
She was then (and presumably still is) a member of the PLO executive committee and highly articulate. Western activists regard her as a ‘good egg’ and wish they could hear her speak on behalf of Palestinians more often.
I got no reply, and after repeating my request her media assistant asked me make contact again in a few weeks, which I did. But I heard nothing back, not even an acknowledgement. It’s a familiar story with Palestinian politicians… they treat the media, and even friendly journalists and writers, with contempt. Then they wonder why it’s Israel’s narrative that gets broadcast.
So it is hardly surprising that Palestinians never make progress towards freedom. Indeed, that prospect is more distant than ever despite having international law and most of world opinion on their side. Losing so heavily, in the circumstances, is a remarkable achievement; so remarkable, you wonder if it’s deliberate. And whether Palestinian resistance is a sham.
I’ve been writing about the Palestinian struggle for 15 years, the same length of time Mahmoud Abbas has been in the driving seat in Palestine. In that long, grinding period I’ve had no help from Palestinian politicians or their bureaucrats. I find them an uncommunicative ‘awkward squad’, the very opposite of ordinary Palestinian folk who, in my experience, are warm and friendly and helpful. They must be wondering what they’ve done to deserve a political class that’s such crap.
Abbas has been a big noise in Palestinian affairs for decades. In 2003 Arafat appointed him prime minister of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). Some say the West foisted Abbas on Arafat. A power struggle ensued, and after Arafat’s suspicious death in 2004 Abbas was seen as a natural successor.
Abbas’s term as President of the Palestinian National Authority officially ended in 2009 but the Basic Law allowed him an extension of one year whereupon he was voted into office indefinitely, the sort of thing usually seen in banana republics and often terminating in a bloodbath. He was also chosen as President of the State of Palestine by the PLO’s central council.
So nobody else has had a look-in for 15 years, during which Palestinians have seen a continuous slide downhill while the Israelis’ colonisation and expansion programme goes from strength to strength with annexation of the West Bank imminent. Justice has never been allowed to play a part. Furthermore Abbas has repeatedly given the Israelis time to cement their ill-gotten gains, readily agreeing to more bogus negotiations arranged by the same dishonest brokers.
And he inexplicably dragged his feet over joining the International Criminal Court.
During his over-long tenure Abbas has failed to unite the Palestinians under a single purposeful voice. On the contrary he has driven the factions further apart by letting rip the old Fatah-Hamas rivalry. His regime fails to keep the world informed or make proper use of media opportunities.
He is not noted for tactical brilliance and his embassies in the West are lazy, uncommunicative and unco-operative, and behave as if under orders not to ‘make waves’. I myself was branded “an enemy of Palestine” by the London embassy, an insult I wear as a badge of honour.
Abbas seems to be the darling of the West and of Israel, and the Palestinian Authority under Abbas is frequently accused of collaborating with Israel in its brutal oppression. The Israelis are said to regard him as a strategic asset. They’d hate to lose him.
Hamas is usually blamed for any whiff of corruption but the PA is bursting with it. The confidential Palestinian Papers, leaked by Al-Jazeera in 2011, revealed the shambolic conduct of the so-called peace process and how the Palestinian team allowed the Israelis to walk all over them, with US help.
Then in 2015 a damning report by The Coalition for Accountability and Integrity (AMAN) titled Absolute Power, Total Corruption appeared. According to the Commissioner-General, Azmi Shuaibi, “the cancellation of elections and the absence of the Legislative Council led to the president’s monopolizing the three powers — legislative, judicial, executive — which has served as fertile soil for some cases of corruption.”
But even this catalogue of misbehaviour failed to hammer the final nail into Abbas’s political coffin. He’s still there, and the Palestinians’ position is dire.
Six years ago Hamas announced they had appointed bright, attractive 23 year-old Isra al Modallal as the media face of the Resistance movement. She’d been at college in Bradford, Yorkshire, a part of England where people are noted for blunt speaking and their dry sense of humour. I remember thinking at the time that if Isra brought some of these qualities to Gaza it would stand her, and Hamas, in good stead.
Her arrival was supposed to be part of a “public transformation” for Hamas that included a new head of media, Ihab Ghussein, who was to “orchestrate a new government website”. So things were looking up, it seemed.
But has anyone here in the West noticed a transformation? And what about Hamas’s media office? Well, I’ve just experienced some of their rudeness.
Mr Haniyeh’s ‘20 Questions’ are set out here:
20 Questions for Hamas Chief
1) Wellwishers in the UK pray for Palestinians in Gaza who are facing the Covid-19 menace trapped under Israel’s cruel blockade without the necessary equipment, medication and protection for hospital staff. How bad is the situation with regard to public health in normal circumstances, and what should the international community be doing to help in the present crisis?
2) You were born in a refugee camp yet graduated from the Islamic University of Gaza, a remarkable achievement. How difficult was this for your parents – and for you growing up in those circumstances? What was family life like in those dark days?
3) And how difficult is it for ambitious students studying in Gaza today? Can they attend any of the West Bank universities? Can they leave to find a career abroad; and if the do, can they ever return?
4) After becoming involved in politics you were jailed several times by Israel and deported to southern Lebanon along with other key figures in Hamas such as Mahmoud al-Zahar. This must have been an important time in forming your political outlook. How did this exile prepare you for what followed?
5) You were close to Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the founder and spiritual leader of Hamas. What are the most important lessons you learned from him?
6) Hamas was condemned throughout the West for its Charter, which contained ill-chosen words about Jews. It was a diplomatic suicide note. How has the revised Charter of 2017 been received around the world? And, given the lost ground in the propaganda battle with Israel, why did it take so long – 11 years – to produce a more acceptable document?
7) Winning the 2006 election fair and square provoked great hostility towards Hamas resulting in 14 years of unimaginable misery and hardship for the people of Gaza marginalized and starved by Israel’s blockade. How do you think history will judge the failure of the international community to intervene?
8) You have been targeted for assassination by Israel several times. Did they ever come close to eliminating you.
9) You succeeded Khaled Meshaal as Head of Hamas Politbureau in 2016. Was this a difficult act to follow? And how does your approach to the task differ from Meshaal’s?
10) Have you any regrets about your actions while in control of Gaza? Given the harsh conditions would you have done anything differently?
11) You were reported to have said that a Hamas government was prepared to accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders and to offer the Israelis a long-term truce if they recognised the Palestinians’ national rights, all in accordance with UN resolutions. Is this still your position?
12) The Palestinian cause has lost support in some quarters through endless Fatah-Hamas rivalry and a failure to unite. What is the answer to this?
13) Israel and the US regularly vilify Hamas by labelling it “Iran-backed” and linking it to Hezbollah. How close is your relationship with these two?
14) I met you briefly in Gaza in 2007 when Israel’s blockade was biting deep. Relations between Hamas and the Christian community seemed good at the time. I even heard that some Hamas ministers sent their children to the Catholic school. Is this still the case? And do Christians in Gaza have anything to fear from their Muslim neighbours?
15) Palestinian embassies in the West make no real attempt to compete against pro-Israel propaganda. If Hamas were in government how different would Palestinian diplomacy and media strategy be?
16) If Hamas had been permitted to exercise its democratic right to govern after winning the election in 2006, where would Palestine be today?
17) BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) is an increasingly important pillar in Palestine’s struggle for freedom and self-determination. What else would you like sympathisers in the West to do to help the cause?
18) Politicians in the West always talk of a negotiated peace and never of justice and international law. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, apparently quoting Ayatollah Khomeini, was reported saying that “the occupying regime in Jerusalem will vanish from the page of time”. Is that your belief also, or are you resigned to the likelihood that Muslims and Christians of the Holy Land will have to live with the Zionist regime indefinitely?
19) In your younger days you were a rising football star. Do you still follow the game? Israel bombed Gaza’s football stadium in 2006 and again in 2012. It was repaired by FIFA last year. Are you confident that Palestinian football can now move forward and the national team will be allowed to participate at international level without Israeli interference?
20) Following the democratic 2006 election Hamas’s team of ministers seemed, on paper, to be as talented and well-qualified as any running Western governments. If they had been allowed to show what they were made of and the Hamas government had enjoyed the recognition and freedom of movement of goods and people normally expected in an international setting, what would Gaza and the West Bank look like today, 14 years later?
If Mr Haniyeh sees these and wishes to answer, he’s still welcome. But, as with anything political in Palestine, I’m not holding my breath.
