9:33 am
resistance will be victorious for decades. israel has assassinated people in the occupied territories and abroad palestinian leaders and a radiance scientist among them. according to studies, why is really author of ronan bergman? up until 2018. israel assassinated 2700 people worldwide. in the past, leaders who rallied for a 2 state solution have also been targeted, posted in president. yes, it out of a died unexpectedly in 2004, and many suspect israel may have been behind his desk. now decades later, the warren garza has read the native pest pensions and field new ones. some believe the is really assassinations of honey. his family were intended to do real negotiations between israel and home off phoebe and i had a long discussion. us president joe biden is pressuring is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu to reach
9:34 am
a ceasefire. but many now say israel's continued use of assassinations will further risk. the long term prospects of peace in the region. katia, little bits of the m l g a 0 for insights story. let's bring it out. guess the intel of eve and i'm a professor of history at x to university in the u. k. in boston, let me cody distinguished public policy. follow this on policy institute at the american university and they wrote a column list and on the list. and in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, calling cloud director of research up these young group specializing in the future of terrorism, security and trans national crime. very well, welcome to jasmine on this edition of inside story impact. they could come to you until the 1st, you know, we've got the facts that israel says those that were killed. yes, today. well, how much to risk and collateral damage as the palestinians say they were the
9:35 am
children of the smell? any? it's all about the narrative, isn't it? and the message getting out to the international audience? yes, i think you're heading me in your program. yes, i think it is, it is about the narrative and it's also about how detailed it can be. a bottles, he's really not a to, i don't know if this came out in english, but definitely in hebrew. ready as of this was a decision taken by very junior officer who took that decision in a blink of a moment because of the intelligence that he received, which i think is a lot, i think is what i knew exactly who they thought that that they knew these were like the sense of is waiting on the i do think also that they knew that they were grandchildren there but didn't care. and therefore it's, it's not just a mentor one that they've against the other. it's really
9:36 am
a fabricated kind of an explanation for something that you know, the picture themselves tell the story then it. ready clear way, but i do agree if i may just add something, a little bit might be an immediate reason for that says, as your rebuilt or has been mentioned, you know that nathan, y'all one to this act in order to do that. ready and then he goes yes, which is definitely a feasible and probable explanation. once you remember the design is moving even before the creation of the state of is targeted by this thing. and uh for disability culture leads out of this kind of orient of is believe. ready if you hit the leads or the leaderships, you have an easier way of or easier time, you know, pressing and repressing the people you want to call a lies like as the glands or, or, or in prison in big good prisons as they did in the west. bank and the gaza strip
9:37 am
chance. i think there's also an historical structure here and probably also more immediate reasons and i'm sure we'll talk about them in midland, if we will, then we won't pick they since we go along, hopefully quite deeply. i just want you to run me curry about this because the impact of such an assassination, however, you want to describe it, assassination, talk to the killing. it has an impact, it surprises and it shocks, that's what is right. these ones, it's what the reaction might be from the palestinians in the short time of the long term to this. as well as the, as whatever is shown. clearly since the priest sides are in those days, i'm really the last century. they're very good. a chilling power steering hymns, and they're very good, an ethnic cleansing. expanding colonial settlement is controlling western imperial power. so helping them set up their shuffling call on the part i'd say they're not very good understanding the realities of how people in palestine are.
9:38 am
countries actually behave as human beings. and they've actually exactly the same as jewish on his rarely behave. that if you're subjugated or tortured, or a deported or humiliated, you react with resistance. you fight back, you may not fight back immediately, but you 5 back. they have the whole growth of from us as well now and sort of a lot of them and others. this phenomenon of the last 40 years has profoundly changed the landscape of the air is really conflict on the regional sit. the picture is really part of the americans with of i think, don't understand that these people are willing to afford, they know they're going to go to. they don't shy from taking actions or making statements against israel and the is really, it's just keep practicing this policy is trying to kill leaders without any real
9:39 am
impact because they have asked the hezbollah and the others are prepared for this. and there are lines of successions that are very, very clear. and so this is an original problem fairly, as rarely is how, how to come up with a better policy is the found one that they continue to use now. so we'll talk about those lines of succession as well in the product i'm calling. so i can see you in pittsburgh. we talked to killings are justifiable from the is really point to view that we go for decades not just in the occupied territories is also reported say, why has this specific is riley policy? the spring valley is quite a long time is very evident and of us allowed to continue in the international domain without any will be a sanction from the us from europe in general. yeah, well, i mean, it would be difficult for the united states to say much credibly given the way the united states has, uh, you know, engaged in the global war and terrorism. i think,
9:40 am
you know, basically setting a precedent for target assassinations of terrorist without due process without trial. yeah. but this goes far beyond the united states. this is something that the as rarely as have talented as an effective counterterrorism tool. there's been many, but of course many studies written on, you know, target assassinations as a counterterrorism policy and, and so what we haven't seen is targeted assassinations bring success. often it's the opposite, the removing leaders and in the process up to the ranks come even more battle hardened more extreme leaders. they're eliminating people that they could probably do business with. i'd suggest looking at the case of northern ireland where, you know, jerry adams and martin mcguinness were labeled terrace by the british. but ultimately, those are the people that delivered peace in dates around the country. let me bring you in again with, with call in here as it is,
9:41 am
russia does this. we've seen this quite openly in the last few years, such as the poisoning of live in yankton in 2006. it's good by a said guy scripling, 2010, george mach of the, the very famous poisoned umbrella incident in 1978 on waterloo bridge. there's a lot more as well. that was functions google on russia called in israel, does it in the day of self defense. so post holocaust, revengeful terrorism, that one button islet. yeah. so this is something that the united states as, as failed consistently to bring pressure on the, as rarely as uh, you know, with regard to the way they conduct counterterrorism. the bind in ministration is probably brought in more pressure than then some previous administrations. but even there, and especially in election year you're, you're reaching kind of the maximum amount of pressure you're likely to see. i think the bought in ministration is mishandled. there's conflict in many ways, but there's a big growing invest between buy that yahoo and it's one that's likely to get worse before it gets better. right, because they bring it in on that. yeah,
9:42 am
sure. but then there's a kind of standard, the double standard or hypocrisy or imperial behavior, the big powers, the use of british american russians all over the world. they're allowed to break the law. they're allowed to kill the band, them, but other people cannot do that and must be held accountable in front of some kind of court or possibly sanctioned. this is how imperialism works. and this is what designed to successfully apply it on the starting and you know, 1910 or so they got the british, the power of the day to support them and creating a jewish homeland on this. and then it's really state and allow that was 93 percent power staying in error and then the americans, after world war 2 became the big imperial western power. and that's where israel, his focus is lobbying and pressure. they still haven't met. israel still has immense pressure on the white house, much of congress and some state legislatures in the us and every other dimension of
9:43 am
american politics. the ability of israel to expect complete support has, has afraid badly n. as in frank quickly. and campuses and labor unions, a media, all kinds of the churches, other institutions. but you still have the white house, pretty much giving israel everything is lost even though as college said, there is no verbal, a scolding. but the scolding from the white house is paired with a mass of new weapons transfers and a financial aid and no real diplomatic pressure at all. so we have people what they do, what the americans do is basically say keep telling, we're going to be with you a lot perfect. intel of you've can, i just get your opinion on certainly won't be honest as we've just had. but about this policy of talk did killing, i mean through the yes and the decades since the establishment of israel,
9:44 am
the narrative of how you describe in his royal palestinians or arabs must have changed, especially when we have incidents such as the oslo accords peace with egypt you know, not everybody was the enemy. now, how is it perceived? and yeah, it says a little, uh, disagree with the the other 2 guest i've just finished a book called loving force and he's in the, on both sides of the atlantic. and he's very clear that both in griffin and in the united states the low b as the. ready the 100 years old and therefore works by initiate. there's no need to tell by didn't what to say when it comes to. and not the scolding is of the 4 rates a policy of kelly. and therefore that it will take quite a while before this kind of impact on the american political decision making would change. although as, as i think around me, mention the civil society is already changed and therefore i think we should be more optimistic about future changes in the american policy,
9:45 am
but not in the immediate future. no. uh so your question, i do see that the exception is the deal money zation of the palestinians. i'm sorry the room, the room is the the when these ation of the palestinians. ready the exceptions of the moments where you get the impression that may be a police thing is treated in a different way, but i think all in all in the 100. ready and to use of the presence of that isn't historical satisfied. the other thing is, what do you in the eyes and do you want to zation is a very important part of a set of colonial projects such as that isn't because set of colonial projects are projects of displacement and replacement. then you can know massively ethnically cleansed people or genocide them as you do. now, if you don't do human eyes then and then what that means is not only man targeted but also babies. and then women and, and this was a, the kind of these really major perception of palestine is now in moments such as
9:46 am
the one that unfolded after the service of october. this kind of deal when is ation of the takes a given the more extreme form in the way the people allow themselves to say things on the side. the nature of it may be added during. ready or relaxed or come periods that they are hiding. but i seen on an old in order to implement the idea that started by this time should be a jury stage. you have to be human eyes, the native indigenous people of palestine. otherwise uh, more of the basis of the whole project would have been exposed. and i think that uh, and these really educational system, the culture system, the socialization process. ready is in these, in the army, all kind of create one called the, regulates of to the other, and i'm afraid would continue to see the but as being is as sub humans as the
9:47 am
pension. ready or is it, let me just get in there as well. everything that comes in the direction. yeah, we want to balance and we want to pass the conversation around because, you know, again, as you say, it comes rounds, the whole issue of silencing your critics calling clock in pittsburgh. just some examples here about the way is rails policy to silence it's critic. so get rid of them, works just for all of us in 1979 ali have some solid names, appear low lead up behind the attacks on is really athlete. so the 97 to to musical and pix, was killed in a remote control bomb in bay region. 2004 shakia see the founder of hamas killed again by the us apache hellfire missiles and garza city in 1981. however, in sao paulo in brazil, we have jose on the battle of bonnet. i'm at and a, a brazilian apples lieutenant who was killed according to the facts that we have at the moment. radioactive poisoning because he most of the agents in israel didn't
9:48 am
what brazil becoming a nuclear power. you have the very loud brash attack, some of the people in your neighborhood, but so it sort of feels a waste, miss rel, on the different confidence you want to do a little but little quietly. it's all about keeping face or keeping good relations with your allies. yeah, and this is a global campaign, right, this is trans national and it has been for decades. but even with all the examples that you point to and i could point to several others actually uh, what is it done to counter from us? nothing. this is an organization that has actually grown more powerful over the years. so you know, targeted assassinations are at tactic. but if they're divorced from a strategy, and i would argue a political strategy, you're going to end up in a situation like these realize are in now where they've had a military campaign. totally divorced from any viable political strategy. and it's
9:49 am
likely to do to basically kick the can down the road. we're going to be back in the same situation in a year, 18 months, 2 years. but actually you're gonna have a younger generation of palestinians that are even more enraged than the previous generation. because of what they've just lift or if i quit again briefly, i would say when a bond street is compensation, the policy is changed, doesn't it? from the 1950s where the as ratings would use these sorts of targeted killings as a last resort. the last clinical method yes, i think so they, they because they're really supreme court formerly approved targeted assassinations . so this is a policy that has the support of the highest levels of law and in israel, and therefore they just do it the trend as much as they want. they killed as they're doing engagement now, and they don't get any real accountability or pressure to stop us. but as colin said, the business, they're not really succeeding. and if you look up the trend in the last 40
9:50 am
generously, people fighting back against israel, some government, some on the non state actors are much more sophisticated technologically. militarily, they're doing things that were never possible 2030 years ago. israel is much more vulnerable and there there's really no huge need to reassess the entire is rarely approach to engaging with or addressing the power of the palestinian challenge of the you know, it was time for this on 48 happened. there was a one and a half 1000000 posts and is there's not 13000000 of them. most of them are still within a 100 miles radius of palestine. and israel, they're not going anywhere. they are, they want a peaceful resolution. but these remedies don't want a peaceful resolution. they want the jewish superstate in palestine and israel that the access we have shuttle or of the western imperial power, some voice. there are no force during the period of hours who wants to do this. and
9:51 am
therefore we have this continuing the situation which is a catastrophe for everybody in a profit and tell of a collection has called the palestinian uprising of the intifada. actually impacted on the way that is right. the policy changed when it comes to dealing with the palestinians. and you might say, pre intifada to poston to father, i think these ladies, the government, all these way to government, and immediately off to the occupation of the west bank and the guy is asleep, too good. so these are decisions. there's only one hand age. we'll continue to portray. ready of the westbank and the guys say, well, we'll never really 40 we're. ready from it, but mike, really either directly or indirectly, that was one decision. and the 2nd decision is that if the public opinion would resist, this is really set, the g is a would react with all its might the, if you want, they offered 2 levels of the presence in open prison. if the police thing is
9:52 am
behaved well, namely would not result in an uprising and a maximum security prison. if they did react with collective punishment that we all are familiar with and demolition of houses mess, arrested without a trial. it's an expansions and indeed the summary executions in killings so, so i think this has not changed, although he's way the governments have changed and maybe the tactics have changed the best that is really a strategy is to continue if i may just, and the children's at it to police, these really are me is a police force a polices and not only the army, hundreds of thousands of is very young. ready in daily maintenance and policing that to prisons that they've created one in the west bank prison that has resulted in gaza. and this is a lot of the i am going to trip in next. i think we just got
9:53 am
a slightly off topic here because again, you know, we're focused on this on this of this issue of targeted killings and, and you talk about the general perception of, of setting you how the palestinians are treated. but how does this, because the way the public did is really to spoil rough listening on radio, watching television news programs react to the narrative. that is a targeted killing right now. yes. but i think use, you know, you cannot separate eh, the killings from the septic g and the ideology and this i, i disagree little because why me and the other guess. because i do think this is the strategy. it's a holistic strategy but it is a sub did you with the hope that one day that can. ready can really. ready make the whole of palestine induce they now as far as these, maybe the public is concerned, it has the fullest of both of these when you choose your left to it and that's what i think you have to connect it to the way the jews public is educated indoctrinate that demonize the palestinians. this is seen is actually
9:54 am
a work of the elite. ready of these with the army, this is the height and look at the situation. now. there is no fixture of trying in gaza. there is a hope that these are the public would see the killing of the 3 children of honey it because the police exhibited to us the picture of victory because they have to be failed in that operation. that they have started on the 8th of october and i'm going to stop me that if you don't mind, i just broke it probably was calling in pittsburgh because i just wonder what the strategy will be now because we've seen talked it killings 11 on in, in the past few months as well. we're seeing a ratcheting up of violets from israel. does they have? they admitted it, but we, we know we generally come and take this believe they all behind. obviously the bombing of the rainy and cold sea. the top is in damascus, it is running up in a way that the global politics do not want. and it's worrying america. or,
9:55 am
well, the cynic in me would say that this is a deliberate ploy by you know, netanyahu and his cronies to deflect attention away from gaza. and which is a, a conflict that's not going well for the audio. and to broaden the conflict to drag me wrong in a way to drag in the united states as a way of kind of saying, look, this isn't just and is really thing. this is a regional issue and are you, we're in a low boil regional civil regional war. now, when you consider what's going on, i love it on in yemen, in iraq, that ebbs and flows. and so i think that's the goal of that. and yeah, it was to paint this is something broader and to take the focus away from god. because again, when you're killing, you know, the kids and grandkids of political, how much political members that means that you're aren't able to achieve your goals . and so you're, you're kind of reaching, they're looking for tactical victories, right. more one is the highest ranking home aust, number that,
9:56 am
that's been killed so far. these really have very few tactical victories to point to. and they have 33000 civilian deaths that the world is asking why the right around me very quickly. then let me, let me just come and head this way. he's running out of ideas when it comes to talk to killing in that full these over the board. the incidents are a way of deflecting, perhaps the lack of i don't wanna say imagination, but the lack of direction that a, that the is riley military or politic. have right now. yeah, this to them is this one is that the is rarely is, are still trying to defeat some ass, which they're not going to be able to do no more than they could defeats as well or others they're. so trying to was massive trimmings and destruction. the other part of this is relation to what the inside of of the body onto design is. for the last 120 years, i've just finished a little study of it's really propaganda points, which i'm going to publish next week. analyzing what they've been saying for the
9:57 am
last 100 years on the last 55 years. and which i've engaged in debates with is rarely some pro, it's rarely people in the west. and this shows the issue has consistently said that it wants to stay for the jewish people, but it's power level whether it's a so the image as a bastion of western democracy, humanism in light and the good life. and they want to bring this to the of, i'm civilized, the arabs, and so they see this confrontation is not just the father son, but with the syrian with other people in the region. and they desperately want the magistrates to fight the battle for them. but they neither spacious, pretty irresponsible, but not quite. the eviction of that they're going to get into a war with hezbollah and the around. so this is realism, the political scientists call the real people. they don't quite know what to do and all they can do is keep chilling and keep telling lies on exaggerations. this is what we're going to keep saying. indeed, sadly, we have to leave it that there was so much more that i wanted to ask,
9:58 am
but i'm sure we'll be coming back to the subject with you jen summit again here on inside story. i'd like to thank you so much for joining me. a lot impact they allow me to read and calling clock. thanks so much for your time gentlemen. and thank you as well for watching as well. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website at all, just have a dot com. as a further discussion, guys will facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash a inside story. you can also join the conversation on at saw handle. that is task page right inside story for me. so robin and all of the team here on inside story, thanks very much for your time and your company the is the biggest over the election yet in history, the world's biggest democracy pull up its own epic showdown in this final episode of speaking the port finally off the prime minister and the movie, leave it in the global b this i will be take
9:59 am
a long room under the microscope. examine how much is facts and how much is fiction to be in the port, fox sport. oh, no. does he done now? is the time to be direct. israel's project has been to completely conflict design is i'm a judy as a but it was not a jew, israel's, of state. and they need to be treated as any other state. what this is where the tough questions are asked, can you see negotiations being even happen? this is the most important. you're going to enforce, a poll, unapologetic, i'm just upfront on out here in the us is always of interest, the people around the world. this has been going on for a number 50 price, but you see the report 34 and it's an active perspective to try to explain to global audience why it's important to impact the lives at the height of the storm.
10:00 am
water was still high by hey, this is an important part of the world. people pay attention to this very good bringing the news to the world from here. the, [000:00:00;00] the colors that around me want to be out there and use our license coming up in the next 60 minutes as palestinians pretends that destroyed homes in southern gauze. a u. n. t. molds of a new thrust caused by israel's aerial bombardment, street and public spaces and con eunice or later with unexploded ordnance posing of
