The Daily Life of Kawther Salam
Hell made in Israel
10th, July 2002

Daniel Seaman, the Israeli Government Press Office "GPO" director, stopped
behind the "Menoah Shabak", that means "Shabak Forbidden".
"Shabak" means, the "Israeli Intelligence System".
Daniel Seaman the "GPO" director, tried to find "Pretext" to refuse renewing
my permanent press card, the "GPO" for the year 2002-2004.

The only "Pretext" that can help this " Rightist Colonel" working under the
cover of the "GPO" to refuse renewing my press card just to recommend the
"Intelligence Shabak" to sign under my ID NO on the renewing press card
form, "Menoah Shabak"!!

Daniel Seaman, was very angry of me when IFJ general secretary Mr. Aidan
White took the Issue of renewing my press card for the years "2002-2004" to
him. Colonel Daiel Seaman accused me of making damages on the Israeli
reputation by appealing to International world!!

Dr. Fawaz Kamal, the officer of the Arabic Department Told me either that Mr
seaman decided to put his head with my head and to challenge me as I made
such of noise for him in the media and because I involved a lawyer to
request him concerning the renewal of my press card. He said, you will see
later how Seaman will success to put the end of your press card renewal!!

Colonel Daniel Seaman was very angry either when my lawyer Lea Tsemel office
requested him about renewing my press card.

Colonel Daiel Seaman asked the Israeli Intelligence Skabak to make him a
favors and to write on my renewal press card form and ID, "Forbidden
Intelligence Shabak".
Mr Seaman did this just to deny me the write to renew my press card, But
also he controlled my free movement and traveling too??!!

This the Israeli Democracy, and how the Director of the press office deal
with the Palestinian journalists!! It is "Apartheid Discrimination and
Raciest"!!

Mr. Deaglan De Breadum, Foreign Affairs
Correspondent, of the "Irish Times" newspaper, wrote: "the International
Federation of Journalists, based in Brussels, has taken up the case of a
Palestinian journalist who is seeking a renewal of her work permit by the
Israeli authorities.

Ms Kawther Salam, who lives in Hebron but is currently on a visit to
Ireland, seeks to have her Israeli press card renewed so that she can
continue to operate freely as a journalist in Israel and the occupied
territories.

The IFJ general secretary, Mr Aidan white, said he had taken up the case of
Ms Salam directly with the Israeli government press office during a visit to
Jerusalem at the weekend. The IFJ was going to appeal for special
consideration to be given in this instance, he said.

Mr White said the IFJ had protested about new rules removing accreditation
from Palestinians journalists. "it's a completely inappropriate from of
apartheid discrimination against all Palestinians," he said.
the new rules were a blow to dialogue between Palestinian and Israeli
Journalists. In view of the bombing of Palestinians broadcasting services,
he said there seemed to be a policy of isolating Palestinian media and
journalists. Taking up the case of Ms Salam was a way of highlighting the
difficulties faced by Palestinian journalists. She was reporting on the
actions of the Israeli defense forces in Hebron and was "very much at the
front line".

Ms Salam is visiting Ireland as a guest of Frontline, a Declination of human
rights defenders. Ms Mary Lawlor, said there was a strong human rights
dimension to Ms Salam's work. She is a correspondent for Al-Ittihad and
Al-Hayat Jadida.

This article was all what made Daiel Seaman angry about me and let him
recommended the Intelligence Shabak to write under my ID NO "Forbidden
Intelligence Shabak"!!

Now I pay the Price of that. This is the tool of my crime just trying to
renewing my press card!! My lawyer told me today all of this story, She said
The Intelligence were recommended to put under your name Forbidden Shabak
since we start appealing and requesting Daniel Seaman renewing your Press
card.
