not just in the amounts that it used to with 100 trucks a day, thousands of trucks a day need to enter now to rebuild you know the atrocities that occurred, but outside of that um they will try to discourage us with this humanitarian pause, with this dishonest uh pause as you put it uh and it is our duty to to remain on the streets to uh boycot black friday deals especially with the brands that you know are out there now going to try and distract us, but also we need to know our rights and that is why um i'd like to play this video for. to watch. i was arrested by the metropolitan police for holding a sign. on one side, i had a list of war crimes being committed, and on the other side i had war crimes, war crimes, war crimes, apartide israel, what a country, with satirical spelling of the word country. um, i was approached by the police who said to me, um, could we, we're worried that your sign may cause offense, could we ask you to take it down, and i said, could you let? me know the

legislation according to which you need me to take this sign down, and then they said right, well we're going to find that for you, and they all went away and they made phone calls, i was waiting for them to tell me what the legislation was, because they said right, we're going to go and find it, and instead of coming back to me and saying, it's this legislation, so could you now take down your sign, instead i was just arrested, um, and i was taken to a police station um, an hour away uh, in bromley and i was. held there a till 4:30 in the morning, she goes to explain a little bit more of what the sign says, but just briefly latifa, why is it important that though she knew her rights, they still felt, it was okay to harass, harang this woman in front of her, two kids and her husband, it she didn't, she wasn't just harassed, she was in fact later arrested and taken to uh a police station where she had to give her details, but the um the biggest problem that exists in this situation. is that they could

not till this day give her the legislation in which she was violating with this particular sign. so this is police um officers you know misusing and abusing their power making it up as they go along to harass and it's so important that we uh push we continue to go out into the streets. we continue to say the slogans that we want to say, the narrative that is truthful and correct and is um honoring the palestinian resistance uh, but also we we still do need to do our due diligence, we need to make to go in groups, we need to make sure to know our rights and exactly how to talk to the police officers. indeed, final video on this segment, latif, something that's heartening, shows growth. it's the story, um, if i may be so bold of woman who was, now she lives in london, but earlier in her life she was told one thing about uh her arab neighbors, but then found another thing to be th true. how do we have these moments where those people who are allies are able to tell their stories, what's

lovely about this particular lady is that yes, her her story started off with her just kind of attending um uh israel as she calls it and um you know kind of wanting to travel and and and mix with the people and the constant hate narrative that was being perpetuated by the settlers um she found astonishing and she couldn't believe it so she went out of her way to look at the palestinians to meet with the palestinians to live with the palestinians she ended up marrying a palestinian man having palestinian children and living there for 10 years, she herself is um the kind of person who hopefully we all are curious, open-minded and um the kind of person that will um really analyze the information before them, don't just believe everything you're being told, and on that note, latifa, until next time, of course there'll be more from latifa next week, now in previous editions of the...

program, we've outlined the international nature of what's taking place in gaza. we switch our attention to india now, where the majority of the citizens are not happy with their prime minister nandera modi and his support of apathite israel. earlier, we spoke to a journalist from luck now in india, dr. shirin abbas, who said this would never have happened in the past. i would definitely say that that india in the reign of... under the prime ministership of somebody like rajiv gandhi, like indira gandhi, like jawaharlal nehru would never have come out so openly for israel and even in the even till the time of atal bihari vajpayi, prime minister atal bihari bajpeyi india would have been very cautious in making their stand and not just openly come out the way it has in this, but lot has to do with as i said the general

elections going to take place next year and they need to polarize their votes and somewhere they have understood that you know their world image their their... within the country image all works a lot better if they they come out in you know as a far right party than as a as stowing the middle line and that is a stance that the government has taken personally do not approve of it but then who cares actually you know the this is a prime minister who has not been present any press has not held a press conference in years, so they don't really care, they have their own media and their own pr agencies which are managing their imaging, you know, their image in in the public, and somewhere somebody decided that it is, it is going to

suit them if they if they come out so openly in favor of israel, according to dr. abbas, the massacre in gaza has brought varying muslim factions together in india. as they realize they have a common cause and a common destiny. posturing is done on the world front in the name of you know improving global relations so this this great thing of making india this great global power and the head of the global south and amids all that they have sort out partners which under the non aligned movement india never would have you know this open support to israel india was always a friend of the ussr, but i have never seen it come out so openly in support of any move of the ussr as our present government has done on israel and i think in that they have really you know they are understanding the

that lot of damage has been done because they have surely lost if they had any hope of any support of muslim votes, i think that hope has totally gone or they have understood that they are not going to be supported by muslim votes because this kind of open you know support of power like israel, i don't think it has ever happened in recent you political history, this has been a wake up call for for indian muslims, because this this one issue has brought them together on one platform which hasn't happened, any further, in fact, you know, lot of them are likeikening this to the to the you know battle of karbala and the way water has been withheld and food has been withheld and the way innocents are being killed, so muslims across all sects and

across different economic stratas are coming forward and praying for the people of palestine. and also supporting them verbally, socially, on social media, the perspective from india there, well, my guests, fra hues and terric othman have stayed the course, and taric, if i could just bring you in on this, is it kind of edifying to know that there has been a global opposition to what's going on, and palestinians, whether at home or in the diaspora, aren't just shouting into the void. yeah, of course uh, it's it's it's always uh, it's it's it's always emotional honestly seeing support from all around the world uh, because it reminds us that in in reality the the majority of people, not only of course in india, but even here in the uk, the majority

support to ceasefire, so what it's been showing is that despite that majority support globally, despite that majority support nationally uh the... palestinian cause hasn't been able to uh hasn't been able to garn that same support amongst the political class which i think has in many ways exposed uh the lack of the lack of democracy or or true democracy amongst amongst - our countries where the wishes of the people uh are not are not shown whether that be in the uk or at the un the individuals here and globally and nationally are not represented and we've seen that very clearly. now for course, one place where there has been a lot of support and solidarity for what's going on in palestine and even before that has been the north of ireland, especially and ireland overall, how

do you account for that? well, the best way for me to account for that is to give you my personal perspective of what i see or the... parallels between ireland under british colonial rule and palestine under british colonial rule and the british mandate cuz it's exactly the same, it's a military occupation of a... sovereign nation that has its own culture, it has its own religion, has its own language and dialect, uh, we for 800 years in ireland suffered under military, british oppression and occupation, we had the famin in 1847 to 1852, in which two million people either died or emigrated, and what was a man made fallen caused by the fact that there was the potato blate, but the british took the surplus food out. so there was enough food in ireland to feed the irish people, but for profit and for money, they took those uh, excess, potatoes and larm and

beef and milk and cheese and everything that the people needed to subsist on, and they took that to britain and sold it for profit, and the parallel right now between what's happening in gaza where people are being denied water, being denied food, they're facing starvation and dehydration and malnutrition, completely man-made. 100%, yes, yes, yes, and when you have people like churchill, which is claimed by the british public to be the statesman, the elder statesman of great britain, he was involved in the famin in uh, i think it was bengal, where four million people stayed of a died of starvation, i think there was a farman also in iran that the british may have played a part in, so farmen as as a weapon of war has been used throughout the centuries and it's now being used as a direct threat to the people in palestine, so if we can't kill you with the weapons, we will kill you by another means, yes, i kill you more than once,

because if you're injured and you're brought to the hospital, and then they deny the hospital the fuel for the electricity, to have lifesaving operations, for incubators, for people who need dialysis, for people who are intensive care, and then they say, you have 24 hours to get out, we don't care, who's left behind, who dies, you know, it's the total destruction of northern gaza, which is what we watching, they want to have nothing left, not only are they refusing to allow people to return, they want them to have nothing to return to, if you leave hospital or with 700 patients, there's 700 reasons why you can't continue to occupy northern gaza, because the world will say, that's not right, and people are want to go and visit their relations and over thousands of people in the shif of hospital and in a indonesian hospital and i'll out to hospital and take your pick the children's cancer hospital uh all specifically targeted. so that the people have no homes, no education, no food, uh, they have no proper sanitation

and sewage, no fish drinking water, this is just uh, this is what the americans did and the spanish did in latin america and the caribbeans, just star of the people that give blankets with smallpocks to the native americans, and they wiped out 50 million people on the continent, it's actually so catastrophically depressing that we can rattle these off and know that this is. probably not the last time, stay where you are, tarek, stay where you are, fra uh, we just bring in now the words of the head of the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees, unrah, he said waterborn disease outbreak was imminent during a visit to conjuns, felipe said increase of skin diseases was also impacting the people of gaza, which he said was unsurprising, considering the on sanitary conditions. let's listen in for a bit more. i'm in full admiration with the unra staff in

gaza, they are trying to do the impossible an impossible environment, they are sharing exactly the same living condition than anyone else, the same fear, the same anxiety, i have also been explained the important increase. of skin disease, which is not surprising when we see the on sanitary condition people are living in, but now winter is coming, people are lacking everything, we have water in the street, and i have been warned that we are on the ev of water born disease outbreak, and this needs absolutely to be prevented. faahima muhammad is back with the follow-up to her first offering of palestine in the

media. uh, it seems the uh japanese representatives are getting in on the act at the scene for us. absolutely. japanese politician calling out the west on breaching international law and not actually speaking up for um endorsing at these force raids on hospitals. let's see what she has to say: に 突入 し まし た 。 で 、 それ を アメリカ 政府 は 三動 し てる ん です よ 。 で それ で 日本 政府 は この 国会 の 中 で も 、 これ は 国際 人道 法 違反 で は ない の か 。 i must be said for hima, perhaps the the japanese aren't known for their fire brand positions on kind of external issues, but people are talking, people are talking all over the world, countries and places that you wouldn't expect, and these are the values of the west, and they're being called out on the same values that they preach, and at towards the

end, i think she was told to be quiet and she said the same thing back, no, you be quiet, i need to continue talking, it's my turn, because again. it's it's quite powerful what she's doing and it's it's not really the norm that you would see. all right, well well done to japan uh for a little bit of that. i mean, we look at their un voting record and say something else for the moment, but the next one, yes, indeed. um, the next is jimmy carter, president jimmy carter, um, he speaks about the basic cause um, is having you, israel is occupation of palestinian land, and i think it's powerful hearing it from him. very good question, very good answer. how much of the responsibility for the conflict, the israel palestinian conflict do you think belongs to the israelis for their tactics like seasing land and occupying territory that didn't belong to them? how much of it is the responsibility of the palestinians for their suicide terror attacks and their bombings within israel proper? well, as matter of fact, the the basic cause of the conflict is sustained occupation of other

people's land by the israelis and and this is di yes, unfortunately, and i think this really does set a tone where we need to follow suit, and people are, people are awake as to what's happening, and as we have seen and keep reporting, um, you know, we cannot like be taken away from what the one-sidedness is constantly being put out there, we are seeing the truth right now. all right, uh, what is a little bit worrying about the... next video you have here is you know i'll let you intro it and then we can go back and forth on this absolutely we've got former national director of the jewish defense league giving here a speech apparently in the toronto area let's see what he has to say next month or two when is to bring in fresh refugees from gaza can we do

this is very important yeah, learn to fight and learn how to shoot. wow, so you might have been kind of confused here that this was not a settler, exactly area in occupied and stolen parts of palestine, because what he's trying to insinuate that they do is unconstionable. absolutely, and again, very openly, very proudly, and we've had videos even on the uh net showing so many people, israelis, jewish, arming themselves, saying that if people were to come from palestine as refugees, we need to protect ourselves and defend ourselves, so this kind of story is very, very dangerous. of course, um, i just wanted to bring into context the fact that there are also, if you look at the occupied territories and where there is a glot of settlers, they have been given weapons, they

have been handed these armaments to not defend themselves, let's be honest, they they are where they should. not be, yes, it's to take over, yes, it's to threat, threaten, you know, the people that are already there, and we've seen that in the west bank where there's no hamas and it's continuous, in other areas of palestine. all right, fahim muhammad, thank you, tarek, i want to bring you back into the conversation here, because even though there's been some respites, if if this uh so-called truth continues over the next four days, where are you? hoping things might lead, where are you hoping this might get the conversation to? um, of course there's obviously the direct hope of of a ceasefire that's permanent, that is a long-term uh, but more than that, and of course the the the freeing of of the palestinian prisoners, many of whom haven't been charged with anything, many of them are

children, many of them are women, um, who are, you know, haven't been charged with anything, held under administration detention, and if they have been... charged and they've been charged in military courts um under apartide regime uh in and in the longer term i hope that um perhaps this is this is probably much more of pipedream than anything else but hope that those in the israely establishment look to realize that you know uh carpet bombing a people doesn't work um that you know 75 years of genocide haven't worked 75 years of ethnic cleansing and 75 years of nekbar haven't worked and have failed at silencing palestinians, have failed at forcing submission, um, forcing the submission of of us as palestinians and indeed. uh just just stay right where you are there taric, i just want to um bring fra back into the conversation, franc, how would you assess how israel's international reputation

has faired with with everything we know that's taking place now? well, i think mainstream media has lot to answer for and that it has portrayed this as israels or the victims and palestinians or the terrorists and it's important to repeat that the palestinians are are national. liberation armies, all the different factions, they are there resisting illegal occupation, that's going on from 1967 and 1948 on before, they are there to liberate their luns, which they are entitled to do by any means necessary under under international law, we we we can say that israel is now paraas state, i have no doubt that anyone with a conscience and a bit of humanity in their heart can see exactly. what israel is, but i don't think israel curs, doesn't cur about palestinian lives, doesn't cur about the captives, hostagees slaves, with this hannibal

directive where they're happy to kill their own people so they can't be used as political leverage for exactly what we're witnessing, which is demand from the palestinian resistance factions that all the palestinian prisoners be released and exchange for x amount of the israeli military soldiers that they have held captive. so uh so long as the west, that's america, the eu, britain and the likes of india, india is using uh indian nationalism to keep modai in power with the bjp, they are trying to create islamophobia within india that the muslims are the problem, this wherever you may find them exactly, and this is a complete mirror image of israel. and when they say that it's civilization fighting barbarism, they are repeating the words of joseph borelle who said the eu was a garden and that the rest of

the world was a jungle, so this is part of this white, anglo-saxon colonial uh imperialist mindset, but white european lives are worth more and someone who's got brown skin, black skin, yellow skin, red skin uh throughout the rest of the world. and what i see we witness in israel is an 18th century colonial mindset where indigenous people must be pushed out not just subjected to appression and forced into submission but they actually leave it's an 18th century colonial mentality with 21st century weapons indeed that's a perfect um last comment from you there i just want to leave the last word on the show to you tarik on this one um do you think palestinians have a right to feel let down by the international community? uh, let me have your response in around a minute. uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely uh,

like i was saying, the international community has not fought for the rights of palestinians, but also not fought for the wishes of the international community in terms of the the civilians and and the citizens of of of the world, has not represented us as palestinians, but it's also not represented you, the the the global community effectively, it has refused to apply the same standard as it does to israel that it does to say russia, and that is definitely um a great shame, but it's it's hard to say that i'm disappointed because it's almost come to expect, unfortunately. right, and with those comments we're going to wrap up this program. let me thank my guests fra hus in the studio and tarek othman via skype for sharing their thoughts with. gazas are under attack, we'll be back next week with more, until then, keep palestine in your hearts, goodbye.
