You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jules Yusuf Jammal''' (((lang-ar|جول يوسف جمال))) is said to have been a [[Syrian military]] officer who killed himself in a [[suicide attack]] during the [[Suez Crisis]], in [[Egypt]].

According to a narrative prevailing in the [[Arab world]], Jammal rammed his boat into a French warship, thereby sinking the ship. This story is given credence in some sources. However, as related in the 1967 book ''Six days in June: Israel's fight for survival''<ref name="Donovan">((cite book|author=Robert J. Donovan|title=Six days in June: Israel's Fight for Survival|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TiBCAAAAIAAJ|year=1967|publisher=New American Library|page=36|oclc=1053422|location=New York))</ref> by Washington correspondent and historian [[Robert J.

It is cited as an example of the "potency of [the station] to propagate myths [as being] beyond dispute."<ref name="Donovan"/>

==Narrative==
According to sources from Arab countries, Jammal's biography and actions are the following: He was born in [[al-Mishtaya]], a village located between [[Homs]] and [[Latakia]],<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.almishtaya.com/magazine |title=موقع المشتاية الرسمي - المجلة<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2011-10-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110303051802/http://www.almishtaya.com/magazine/ |archive-date=2011-03-03 |url-status=dead ))</ref> into an [[Arab Christian|Arab]] [[Orthodoxy#Christianity|Orthodox Christian]] family. He later joined the [[Syrian Navy]] as an officer. During the 1956 [[Suez Crisis]], he is said to have volunteered in the name of [[Arab nationalism]] to launch a suicide bomb attack against the tripartite invasion by [[Israel]], [[United Kingdom|the UK]] and France into the [[Sinai Peninsula]] in order to capture the [[Suez Canal]]. Jammal [[Suicide attack|activated a suicide bomb]] when he rammed his boat into a French ship, destroying it and dying in the process.<ref name=syrianhistory/>

It is unclear which actual ship he is supposed to have sunk. One source calls the ship at issue the "[[Ocean liner|liner]] ''Jean D’Arc''"<ref name=syrianhistory>((Cite web |url=http://www.syrianhistory.com/view-photo/1021 |title=Jules Jammal (1932 1956), the famous officer in the Syrian Navy who fought in the Suez Canal war of 1956: Syrian History<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2011-10-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120831082713/http://www.syrianhistory.com/view-photo/1021 |archive-date=2012-08-31 |url-status=dead ))</ref><ref>[http://www.syrianhistory.com/People/key/Jules+Jammal Jules Jammal: Syrian History<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> and another the "French warship, ''Jeanne D’Arc''".<ref>[http://www.mideastviews.com/articleview.php?art=208 Middle East analysis by Sami Moubayed - Reflections on May 6] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425061846/http://www.mideastviews.com/articleview.php?art=208 |date=2012-04-25 )), Mideastviews.com; accessed 15 June 2015.</ref> There was a [[French cruiser Jeanne d'Arc (1930)|French cruiser ''Jeanne d'Arc'']] in service at that time, but it was decommissioned in 1964 rather than sunk.

==Legacy==
A 1960 film called ''The Giants of the Sea'' (in [[Arabic language|Arabic]]: عمالقة البحر pronounced "Amaliqat el Bahr") was released, directed by Al Sayyed Badir and starring [[Ahmed Mazhar]], Abdel Monhem Ibrahim and [[Nadia Lutfi]]. Jules was played by his brother, Adel Jammal.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=3RQFAQAAIAAJ&q=Jules+Jammal Ahmed Fawaz La rencontre entre le Président et son second remonte à la fin des années quarante, sur les bancs du lycée Jules Jammal, dans la ville côtière de Lattaquié. Tous deux étaient membres du parti Baas. Cette rencontre n'était], Le Nouvel Afrique Asie, page 23.</ref>

Arab film director Gassan Abdullah announced plans to make a film about Jammal in 2008, since he was regarded as a hero for many in [[Syria]] and Egypt for his Arab nationalism.<ref>[http://gulfnews.com/about-gulf-news/al-nisr-portfolio/weekend-review/articles/rising-above-odds-to-resurrect-leaders-1.40430 "Rising above odds to resurrect leaders"], gulfnews.com; accessed 15 June 2015.</ref>

The [[Grand Mufti]] of Syria, [[Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun]], mentioned Jammal in a speech aimed at [[Western countries]], warning that Syrians and [[Lebanon|Lebanese]] would engage in suicide bomb attacks against [[Europe]] and the [[United States]] if they bombed Syria during the [[2011 Syrian uprising]]. He cited Jammal as an example of a non-[[Muslim]] Syrian who carried out a suicide bomb martyrdom attack on the west, and warned that non-Muslims would assist Syria in those attacks.<ref>[http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/5711.htm Mufti of Syria Ahmad Badr Al-Din Hassoun Threatens to Activate Suicide Bombers in Europe and the U.S.], memri.org; accessed 15 June 2015.</ref>
