to press tv spotlight, i'm arizia hashimi, thanks so much for being with us, tell me, name me one more nation, any other nation that's doing as much as the united states to alleviate the pain and suffering of the people of gaza, you can't, you just can't, believe it or not, this was said by us national security council's spokesman john kirby, it is so outrageous we could even laugh if it wasn't for the fact that reality is so dark and completely opposite and that it is the united states is doing all it. can

to increase the pain, to increase the suffering of the people of gaza and is responsible for the murder of over 17,700 people. we're going to talk and look at this on the spotlight. i like to welcome my guests to the program. elijah, journalist and political analyst out of brussels and daniel yigish, author and researcher. out of beirot. well, thank you both for being. well, let me start this off uh, with elijah. now, it is as if everything is being made mockery of. for example, the us is alleviating the suffering of the people uh of gaza, just like international law isn't really a reality. i mean, how do you see all of this, elijah? we have seen at the united nations yesterday how 13 countries. supported the humanitarian fire

because it is called humanitarian se fire, while the uk, one of the closest us ally abstained and the us just rejected the vote, and that means how much the us is indeed supporting genocidal killing and murdering of the children and women in gaza, the destruction of the structure, the violation of international laws and the committing work crimes and crimes against humanity, that is undoubtedly the participation, direct participation of us to all the genocide that's happening, and the americans really don't care. now what is important here is the awareness of the population around the world no longer swallow any of the american narrative that they are working for peace because they prove to be unworthy of being a partner for peace. we've seen how president

vladimir putin was received in the emirate and saudi arabia, one of the very close allies to the us, how he received president ibrahim raisi in moscow and the strategic relationship, because another word, another model is forming itself, because the hegemany of the us is no longer valid, is no longer human, it is supported of the israeli 'zianist killing of a small population in a very small tiny area of palestine and is still talking about the possibility of having two state which is another mockery, so i don't think the americans care really about the humanitarian aspect of this conflict, nevertheless they still have the guts to come out and say like secretary said few days ago that he determined that in sudan there is a'.

ation of humanitarian laws, which means these people are completely cut off from the reality and they have lost all the sensibility toward humanity, so there is nothing to be done about the americans, this is why there is need of new system, a worldwide system where the americans cannot vato humanitarian aspect like gaza, yes indeed, the hypocrisy is absolutely amazing, well daniel, your take on... how the united states, i mean, could even veto um, this un resolution that wasing immediate humanitary in in. i mean, what does it mean? at least before, there was some simblance, they wanted to show a little simblance of um, trying to be fair, whether they were or not, there was cover, but but it seems as if they don't care, they absolutely don't care, your take, i agree, really seems like they don't care, and also they don't have to care, because...

because we are now in the third month of the genocide and the zionist regime is getting away with uh killing more and more palestinians and continuing live on camera for the entire world to watch this genocide without any intervention. and power that could immediately stop this genocide is the united states and it is continuing to uh not just be complicit but to support this genocide because at the end of the day the united states is not only sponsor in the sponsor proxy relationship with televiven with the zionist regime but also palestinians are victims of a genocide is being carried out by the uh west uh if we talk about the united states and the european union and their allies because of course these were the existence of these regime depends on this external aid uh and continuous support that it receives from uh west, so of course it is to some extent in the us interest to keep the situation going, at the same time there of course no justification uh and the united states uh in the current political discourse that it's employing keeps using the same words and pretending as if it was to some

extent um concerned about human rights and the international law other situations but not in palestine which also again shows us that isionism is part and parcel of us forent policy and to some extent political identity and zionism can only uh exist uh through these genocidal actions and at the same time palestinians are not considered uh human necessarily, they are not considered in this discourse as human beings would be uh worthy of this elementary protection could be extended to them under international law. right, well elijah, as israel calls for northern gaza to be exclusive for palestinian. the us looks the other way. i mean, is there any? way that israel could do what it is doing without help and approval of the united states? absolutely not. first of all, it is not only the approval. we've seen the americans supporting the israelis by sending 45000 bombs. today the pentagon

approved of sending 14 tanks from the strategic warehouse. they are direct participant to the genocide. secondly, the american from the one, to israel and said, i am not here representing this government, i am here as a jew, like if was a religious one which indic theopic level of this narrative, it is a conflict that has been going on for the last 75 years about the right of land of territory, it is not about the religion. thirdly, joe biden, when he arrived to the us, he had a press conference saying, you have the... legitimacy and the right to do what you are going to do, so he gave him the full authority to benjamin netanyahu to do what he's wanting to do, and the last point here i would like to point out is prime minister benjamin netanyahu coming out on television yesterday and saying to the world,

threatening the world, if you take a an international court, you are antisemite, if you do that, you are holocaust denial, if you try to incriminate... "you are a genocidal denier, you are jew hater." so he basically said to the whole west, if you want to keep your position where you are, you have to stand by us and stop all this nonsense about the war crime and crimes against humanity, because we have the right to do whatever we want, and all of benjamin netanyahu say from the first days, don't lecture us, we going to cut water, electricity, everything, so they have. recognize all the crimes against humanity publicly on television, careless about word reaction and all the international law, the geneva convention, the hague, all the law that are in place, including united articles and protection of the civilians,

including the palestinians, so we see this is no complicity, it is a direct action in of the patinian, and top of that the americans are, they have to... and delta forces in israel supporting the israelis, they are flying drones, they are giving a bridge united states and israel to supply all the weapons, they are waiting from cyprus with the british to monitor and support israel with intelligent information, they are direct participant in everything. what you say st with you, just really quick, so what you say, this is actually a war, the united states war against the palestinians. it is indeed and the palestinian, the americans will only call for a cease fire when israel. this is my experience in all the war that israel has wit in lebanon and against the palestinians, when the israelis are ready, then american will be ready to accommodate them at the united

nations. yes, let me get daniel back in on this discussion. daniel what about that, you agree with elijah, is it when israel is ready or is it when the united states is ready that it will follow suit? i mean, we're uh trying to... out who's leading whom here? because the united states definitely not only supports that regime diplomatically, politically, militarily, and and constantly showing it and not. apologitically, so how do you see it? exactly, it's a good question, who is actually having more influence over whom? so of course, if we look into history of zionism, the colony itself was always intended as european outpost in this part of the world that would only be able to exist with external power, and united states is the main sponsor of the israely regime, so on the one side the existence of the israel regime is tied to this continuous us support, and then the question again is what extent does the support of the genocide? the actual carrying out of the genocide by the united states against the palestinians is in the

strategic interest of the united states uh because it is destroying lot of its already fragile uh reputation that it had left uh in some parts of the region and it really if we even look currently in the last two months the worldwide including in the west the protests in support of palestine has become one could argue more visible than ever uh what the actual situation is in terms of setler colonialism and genocide and united states is very clearly showing that it's standing at the wrong side uh of uh history, but of course we need to take into consideration the political power of zionism in the united states uh that has lot of influence on decision makers and policy makers and isn't uh working necessarily in favor of the american people, so it is uh the anti political elite of both the sponsor which is a us and the uh the colony and the proxy that the zionist entity is uh that are working uh together, but of course the israeli regime does have to a certain extent influence on the us, but we should also not forget that in fact, joe biden, the us

president, has throughout the decades on record stated that he is a zionist, and he's very proud of being a zionist and has even said that if israel had not existeted, the us would have to create an israel, so it is, i would say an exchange of interest uh from both sides in which the us remains politically the the stronger part, well elijah, the latest v by the... us comes against the backdrop of the regime's failure in achieving any of its objectives including freeing its captains and destroying the palestiny resistance, more than two months into the devastating war on gaz. mean, your assessment of all of this, when we look at the situation at hand? so far in 64 days, the israelis have achieved nothing, they have 100 thous men, they have 400 tanks and they have managed to occupy part of gaza, now there is a big. between occupying and controlling, occupying meaning be able to break into the

territory and controlling being able to control it and stop all resistance, which is not the case. the israelis are losing every day between five to 15 offices and soldiers, they are losing tanks and armed vehicle, they are every single day having very high facilities, they are hit in the heart of the north that they have occupied 50 days ago, so they... have in control nothing of gaza, they don't understand, for example in the north shujaya, it is called shujaya because it derives from the arab word of shaja that is courageous, they are the most courageous people in gaza that are fighting them today and inflicting very heavy damage on the israelis, so we see israel has achieved nothing of its objective, trying to liberate one of the soldier prisoners, they have failed, end up killing the soldiers and losing two lives. so everything the israelis are doing today, they are extremely embarrassed in front of their people, they

have lost to according to the information from his today, 500 men wounded, if this is true and if it's not if it is the complete number which always doubtful because these really don't release all the figures, so in urban fighting we have at least 2000 soldiers killed, if we have 5000 wounded, so so far they have lost much more than what they have lost in 1967. "and they are very close coming to what they have lost in 1973, the war against four army. hamas defeated the unbreakable, the army that is invincible on the 7th of october and continue defeating it every single day, and this is why we understand why the israelis are called bombing gaza and why they killing so many civilians, because this is the only thing they can achieve is to kill children and women, but friend with..." the man of gaza, they run away and they are taking so many casualties, they are unable to advise advance

a area that is 12 kms and 41 long, right, right, well uh, when we look at the situation, the united states, we see instead of course the united states coming uh, the israeli regime for its crimes, we see the united states congress uh basically trying to make certain things illegal, trying to um say that zinanism is the same as being being anti-zionis is the same as being anti-semitic also we see movements trying to make from the river to the sea palestine will be free illegal um basically that when you say that you're actually calling for um the destruction of israel, while at the same time the israelis are destroying gaza, mean it's absolutely mind bockling, your thoughts, i agree, and um so we see that in recent years before the current episode of the genocide which is in the us but also in certain

european countries to some extent have uh tried to uh to criminalize descent uh to... boycott against the israel regime and to call the mere resistance of palestinians anti-semitic to an extent even now we are in a which would be ridiculous if it weren't that dangerous where almost the not supporting genocide could get someone accused of anti-semitism and this of course not only harms palestinians and dehumanizes and demonizes them and tries to portray mere resistance as as something. racist or evil, what in fact is palestinians fighting against racism, at the end of the day palestinians in gaza are being killed because they are not jewish, because they are not part of this racial hierarchy the israeli regime has constructed, and at the same time of course it is dangerous because there is a history of antisemitism which had resulted including the holocaust, so it is very dangerous to actually relativize historical developments

and actually existing forms of racism for a political gain that far marginalized palestinians and call people who are literally an concentration camp that gaza is being bombarded 24/7 uh calling them anti-semitic that is racist uh just for merely existing i think it is dangerous in many many ways and it's just another way of trying to silence people who are actually taking justice well elisha i have about one minute but your perspective i mean given the situation at hand and everything that we have seen is there any of alternative for the palestinians in general, whether we're talking about gaza or the west bank, is there any other alternative ex resistance? well, the palestinian resistance are still resisting, they're still vthy, they have not stop fighting, they haven't lost one single area, and the palestinians want to continue, they want israelies to come into gaza,

because that prevent the israelit from bombarding from a far and destroying more homes and... destroying the infrastructure, one the once israelis are very close and going in the street of gaza, this is exactly where the resistance want them to inflict damage on the israelies, this is why they are taking so many cities and they are starting to scream about the number of casuality because they are for the first time coming close to the resistance, and this is exactly how the resistance will receive them and they really want them inside gaza but not on the periphery, all right? i'm so sorry to interrupt, but we're at time, i appreciate that both of you being with me, elijah, out of brusos and uh, dan out of uh, and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight, i'm hope to see you right here next time, goodbye.

so i'll say what do you want, when do we want it? what do we want? when do we want it?

we live in a densely populated area and suffer from severe shirt of portable water. one element of it was leaving the israeli water company in charge of all the water resources. is the israeli national water company that's responsible for stealing water in palestine.

do we say anything about hamas and do we say anything about hamas? we're talking about the children are being killed talk about hamas no we never talk we didn't with hamas have won hamas achiev their goal on october 7th which was the free palestinian hostages by taking israeli hostages and then exchanging this plan worked israel what did israel achieve they couldn't free a single hostage using force in the end they had to meet the palestinians demands, they had no choice. israel's goal of destroying hamas never worked, they couldn't even harm hamas infrastructure, never mind destroy them. israel's ground invasion of gaza, another

failure, all they did was capture small pockets, small limited areas. israel's goal of ethnically cleansing gaza by pushing palestinians into the sinai didn't work. yes, these reds killed thousands of people, but couldn't force the palestinians out despite imposing all these archers on them. on the battlefield, you know, when it comes man to man and killing children. for bombing hospitals, yet again the israelies failed. your headlines on press tv, the yemeny army says all ships destined for israel are legitimate targets unless the needed food and

medicine are allowed into the gaza strip. more than 17,700 palestinians, most of them women and children are killed in israel's us by genocide in gaza. and huge crowds of protesters gather in different countries to show solidarity with palestinians and condemned israely unslot against garsa.
