Palestinian kids taught to identify as “refugees” about to “return” to Israeli cities Nan Jacques Zilberdik and Itamar Marcus | Dec 1, 2020 Read on our website

 

Palestinian kids taught to identify as “refugees” about to “return” to Israeli cities Nan Jacques Zilberdik and Itamar Marcus | Dec 1, 2020 Read on our website     12-year-old Palestinian boy: “The Jews stole our land” “Every day, every minute I imagine that I’m in Lod (i.e., Israeli city)” “I will return and liberate Palestine” “Of course we will return and live in those houses” Palestinian children who were born decades after Israel’s establishment in 1948 and decades after the Oslo Accords peace agreement are being educated by the PA to envision themselves as residents of the cities “stolen by the Jews,” and as “refugees” temporarily living in the Palestinian territories. They are brought up to believe that in the future they will “liberate Palestine” and live in a world with no Israel. This was made clear on a children’s program named A Child and a Refugee Camp on official PA TV. Palestinian kids were taught, through the words of a 12-year-old boy, to see themselves as suffering victims of “the Jews” - not “the Israelis” who were not mentioned at all. However, the children were taught that this is a state of temporary suffering only, because their “return” to “Palestine”- meaning all of Israel - is assured. The 12-year-old boy was interviewed about his “yearning” for Lod – an Israeli city. He told the TV host that he dreams about the airport which was “Judaized and called Ben Gurion [Airport],” by what he calls “the occupation” - the Palestinian term for the entire State of Israel. Finally, the 12-year-old expressed his hope and confidence that “tomorrow” the Palestinians “will return and liberate Palestine”: Text on screen: “I will certainly return” Official PA TV children’s host Walaa Al-Battat: “Lod (i.e., an Israeli city) is one of Palestine’s ancient cities - 38 km northwest of Jerusalem, 16 km southeast of Jaffa.” Caption: PA map of “Palestine” that replaces Israel Host: “Abd Al-Rahman Baba is a 12-year-old child from Lod. He is living in the Al-Amari refugee camp temporarily, because he is returning to Lod. Lod is inside him, and his yearning is there.” Abd Al-Rahman Baba: “The Jews stole our land from us, and I have been waiting 12 years already, my father 40 years, and my grandfather has been waiting 70 years... The Jews took our land by force and settled us in the [refugee] camps. I hope to return to Lod, my city...” Host: “Do you feel that tomorrow we will return?” Abd Al-Rahman Baba: “Yes. I feel that tomorrow I will return and liberate Palestine... Every day, every minute, and every year I imagine that I’m in Lod... I imagine that I'm playing with my friends, my neighbors, in our backyard. I imagine our home, how it will be... I imagine the Lod Airport that the occupation (i.e., Israel) Judaized and called “Ben Gurion” ... Of course we will return and live in those houses.” Host: “This is the Palestinian child refugee... There is no replacement for the return. Nothing will make them forget the homeland from which they were expelled.” [Official PA TV, A Child and a Refugee Camp, Nov. 3, 2020] The map of “Palestine” featured in the broadcast misrepresents the following Israeli cities and places as in “Palestine”: The Galilee, The Negev desert, Safed, Tiberias, Nazareth, Beit Shean, Jaffa, Lod, Ramle, Beer Sheva, and Jerusalem. Palestinian Media Watch has exposed that the PA does everything it can to maintain the identity as refugees for Palestinians, and particularly for children. The popular children’s host Walaa Al-Battat as policy teaches her young viewers that it is only a question of time before “we will return to our land,” and that Israel will come to an end. Earlier this month, she told kids "Allah willing, one day our entire land will return to us”: ​​​​​​ Official PA TV host Walaa Al-Battat: "Jerusalem was very important and the goal of our leader the symbol Yasser Arafat. The children declare with the [previous] song their insistence on their presence on their presence in Jerusalem, the restoration of all Jerusalem, and Allah willing, the liberation of Jerusalem from the occupation. Allah willing, one day, my children friends, our entire land will return to us... Allah willing we are continuing on the same path [of Arafat], my friends, until we restore our land."

COVID-19: Moderna submits vaccine for FDA approval

ALEXANDER SMITH

Nov 30th 2020 11:35AM

Moderna will submit its coronavirus vaccine for regulatory approval on Monday, the company said — the second leading drug to pass the milestone this month.

The Massachusetts biotech firm said it will ask the Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization after completing its Phase 3 trial, finding the vaccine was 94.1 percent effective against Covid-19.

Moreover, Moderna said the vaccine was 100 percent effective at preventing severe cases of the disease.

These results were the same across all age, race and gender categories, the company said in a statement. There have been no serious safety concerns so far, it added, with the most common side effects being fatigue, headaches, and muscle and joint pain.

Moderna said it expects the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee to convene on Dec. 17 to discuss its submission. That is a week after the FDA is expected to discuss another candidate, developed by the U.S. pharma giant Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech, which has also applied for regulatory approval having observed a similar level of efficacy.

Both the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech drugs involve inserting special code called mRNA into the body, tricking it into developing an immune response. No mRNA-based drug has ever won approval before.

Hajo Zeeb, a professor at Germany's Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology, said it's hugely encouraging that two separate studies both found similar high levels of success.

"I would be surprised if something different came out in the FDA process, and I think these are highly likely to be approved," he said.

Though optimistic, Zeeb cautioned that the exact percentages may change once hundreds of millions, rather than tens of thousands, of people start taking the vaccine.

"These are still small numbers overall," he said of the trial's sample size, "but the reduction in severe cases is exactly what we want to see. If it's just a mild virus, we can live with that."

Moderna received more than $1 billion in U.S. federal government funding to develop and produce its candidate, and another $1.5 billion to supply it to the American public.

Its trial involved 30,000 people, half of whom were given the vaccine candidate and other half a placebo. Of this group, the scientists recorded 196 cases of Covid-19, only 11 of whom were from the group that had been given the vaccine. There were 30 cases of serious illness — all of them in the placebo group.

So of the 15,000 people given the vaccine, not one became seriously ill with Covid-19 during the trial period, the company said.

Last week, AstraZeneca and Oxford University championed their own promising results, only to later admit there had been a technical error during its trial and that it was planning on running some additional tests. Like the others, there has been no suggestion its vaccine is unsafe.

While recent developments have been met with widespread optimism among scientists and stock markets, experts are also urging caution until more data is released beyond the various companies' triumphant non-peer-reviewed press releases. These vaccine trials are primarily geared toward preventing symptomatic disease, but questions remain about how effective they are at stopping transmission, too.

President-elect Joe Biden has also warned that vaccines, which will take time to approve and roll out, may do nothing to soften the tough winter facing the U.S., Europe and elsewhere.

Coronavirus cases continue to surge, with more than 267,000 Americans dead and fears that Thanksgiving might bring yet more fatalities. Europe was gripped by a similar wave until widespread lockdowns began to turn the tide. More than 1.4. million have been killed globally.

Even if these drugs get regulatory approval, rolling out the shots to billions of people around the world will involve a byzantine supply-chain challenge at a scale never attempted before.
