For decades, jane refugee camp in north of the occupied west bank has been seen by palestinians as a stronghold of resistance against israeli aggression. Jenian refugee camp continues to offer more martters and insists on the peoples right to arm struggle. When the name of the jane refugee camp. Is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is a stronghold for resistance against the Israeli Occupation. It has long been seen as the center of palestinian resistance. Created in the aftermath of the Israel Occupation of palestinian lands in 1948, verginian refugee camp was established in the early 1950s in the north of the occupied westbank. The camp is less than half square kilometer, according to the United Nations, its home to almost 12,000 residents. Janene refugee camp is a great part in our occupied homeland palestine. Were speaking about fighters and resistors. Were speaking about a great popular incubator. Were speaking about brave young men as if they are coming from another planet. They have their own necessities of steadfastness. They have a great ability to fight this Israeli Occupation. Different components in their life have led to this determination. First, their ancestors were forced. Out of their towns in 1948, and second, theyre Still Holding to their right of return. In 2002, during the second intifada, gennian refugee camp was the scene of one of the deadliest large scale rates by the Israeli Military. 60 palestinians were killed and 250 others were wonded, while hundreds of homes were completely destroyed and more than a quarter of the camps population were displaced, more than 20 years later, it seems the. Battle is not over, last july Israeli Forces raided jenian refugee camp, but this time the heavy clashes and exchange of fire forced the Israeli Military to retreat in two days, leaving 12 palestinians killed. The military said then the main aim of the operation was targeting palestinian fighters and capturing their ammunition. Palestinians say israel had committed war crimes in the refugee camp, an effort to prevent future resistance and bringing down the genina brigade. The newly formed Resistance Group thats comprised of fighters from different Palestinian Armed groups. What really unites us here in the genin refugee camp is not the palestinian groups, but what units is this refugee camp and family closeness. We all live here as one big family. We stand together against the israely occupation and against anyone hostile to us. Each one of them as a phenix, they are brave young men insisting on the challenge with simple equipment, personal pistols, explosive devices and they caused Israeli Occupation great losses. Israeli military used drones, buldozers and hundreds of troops in its Army Operation as regime troopers hunted down fighters who had grown increasingly bold. Israel officials thought the regimes military would succeed in breaking the safe haven of the camp, however they were wrong. كل زخم المقاومه كانت. During dialexa intifada, resistance was a strong in the refugee camp, the camp has so long been a center for the resistance fighters. With the accumulations, all the raids and destruction and killings establish a struggle in the camp, a nonstop struggle, this means a generation lives and new generation comes. They are people who reject humiliation and reject all forms of oppression. The residents know the path has always been thorny and difficult, but thats why the. People of janin will always remain the speare head in the face of the occupation, not only for its residents, but for all the palestinians, the fiji camp with its warren of alleyways and dilapidated buildings adorned with banners, bearing the portraits of marchers will keep palestinians recalling their pain and their long history of resistance and fighting. Despite the nonstop Israeli Operations in the genean refugee camp, the camp continues to be considered a symbol. Of Palestinian Armed resistance, residents of the camp argue that the latest killings and destruction have not only failed to weaken the palestinians resolve, but also helped to increase their resistance and steadfastness. Monandial for press tv, occupy gen refugee camp. The democratic peoples republic of korea has warned that the Korean Peninsula is at the risk of nuclear war, blaming the us hostility for renewed tensions. Hims. , the dprks ambassador to the United Nations, told the world body that the u. S. Actions over the past year as well as south koreas actions under president yon sokyo have driven the peninsula to the brink of nuclear war. Kim cited the recent formation of the Nuclear Consultative group by the us and south korea. He said, this Shows Washington is working to realize its sinister intention to provoke a nuclear war by dispatching. Nuclear submarines and bombers. Tensions are running high on the Korean Peninsula, as puong young regularly conducts missile tests, which it says or for selfdefense, and in response to the frequent joint military drills by soul and washington. The us has often said that it is not after a conflict with china, yet it has acted otherwise, especially when it comes to military sales, the us is negotiating to supply vietnam with the large arms package, including f16 fighter jets, which could possibly be the largest arms transfer in history. The us President Joe Biden went a 3day trip to asia recently, his trip included stops in india for the g20 summit, then vietnam to upgrade their bilateral relationship. The purpose of his trip was to enhance us relationship with regional countries, especially in a g20 format, but that is just a formal way of not saying what the two intentions of the us president were. For starters, joe biden had said that his intention again and again. He has said things like, i dont want to contain china. Were not trying to hurt china. Americas goal is getting the relationship right . I am sincer about getting the relationship right, and one the things that is going on now is chinas beginning to change some of the rules of the game. But his visit to vietnam right after the g20 summit related a different message. The two countries signed a historic agreement to upgrade relations to the level of comprehensive strategic partnership. Joe biden secured deals with vietnam on semiconductors and minerals. So important is vietnam for the us that executives from google, intel, amcore, marvel, global foundaries, and boing met with vietnamese tech executives along with the secretary of state. Anthony blincan for more deals with semiconductors, the centerpiece of action plan adopted during bidens visit. So what gives, why is vietnam so important to the us, its pretty obvious, the us wants to rival china, and at the same time inflict economic damage. So much for biden saying were not trying to hurt china, but the u. S. Has other plans for vietnam, which was not announced yet. The us goal in the indopacific region is to make china faces stiff competition, as it has called it. This involves not only military sales, but also. So partnering with countries in such sectors as semiconductors, aviation and technology, this way the us seems to prevent chinas Economic Advancement so that it can retain its superpower status, which many claim it has already lost. After the us and vietnam elevated the relationship to comprehensive strategic partnership, there were reports that the us and vietnam were negotiating. Major arms deal, perhaps the biggest in their history, one that would involve f16 fighter jets. Here are some interesting facts behind us vietnam military relationship. Since an arms embargo was lifted in 2016, us arms exports to vietnam were limited to just coast guard ships and Trainer Aircraft, so from coast guard ships and Trainer Aircraft to f16 fighter jets, what gives . By the way, russia has supplied about 80 of vietnams military arsenal, yet vietnam is just one of many countries that the us has been selling military equipment to in the asia pacific region. Here is one snapshot, a spray aircraft to indonesia for 2 billion dollars, 2 billion dollars in missiles and upgrades to taiwan, 30 billion to south korea, 2 billion dollars in attack helicopters, as well as support boats to the philippines. And 23. 11 billion dollars to japan for 105 f35, joint Strike Fighter aircraft and related equipment. No wonder china is angered. The us actions do not match its rhetoric when it comes to china. It is clear that it wants to militarize the region very similar to how it did with nato countries in europe. The target there being russia. The Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman urged washington to have. In his cold war mentality and to refrain from provoking an arms race in asia. China hopes that when developing bilateral relations and conducting military cooperation, relevant countries will effectively abide by the basic norms of international relations, abandoned hegemoneny and cold war thinking, stop provoking confrontation and stimulating arms races, but that has fallen on uss deaf ears. The us has gone all out to align. Regional countries with it, hot button issues like taiwan, north korea and the disputed islands are cars that the us plays its favor to do that, but the region will soon turn into a tinder box if it hasnt already, and it would only take one spark like the taiwan issue or north korea for it to explode. Us Consumer Confidence drops again in september as anxiety over a possible recession weighs on american households, a survey by a Research Group called conference broard shows that the index is its Second Lowest level this year as people are pulling back spending in face of high prices in rising interest rates. Consumers continue their struggle with the. Food and energy prices, while worrying about future raising of interest rates, the survey data has depicted a gloomy outlook for jobs, incomes and business conditions, the business organizations expectation, index also fell below 80, a threshold that signifies an imminent recession. Call and campel are corresponden washington joined us earlier for his take on the american publics confidence in the us economy. Whats happening right now is americans are facing tumultous time when it comes to confidence, faith, hope and and uncertainty in the us economy. All of these factors could lead to a recession, and ironically, even talk of a recession could lead to a recession. What does that mean . Well, if everyones talking about a recession. About how people will be tightening their per strings so to speak, not spending as much money, not putting money back into the economy, businesses could then take that lead or that fear, start laying off people. An anticipation of people not spending as much, and that starts to create the cycle of a recession. Another thing that we should talk about, not just inflation where weve seen prices rise since covid, but we also have stag flation. What does stag flation look like . Well, stackflation looks like, if you buy something and you are expecting it to be a certain weight or a certain uh volume, for example, its smaller now, businesses are cutting back, and at the same time consumers are paying more for less. This is also not increasing confidence in the us economy or in the market, which could also lead to a recession. There are also predictions that the job growth will shrink by the end of the year. This also could feed into a lack of confidence. So as to whether or not i think a recession is coming, definitely, thats hard to say, a
