day 101 of the us israelity genocide of palestinians in gaza, the result, according to euromed human rights monitor, 100 thousand palestinians have been killed, wounded or gone missing. palestine resistance fighters are engaging and the invading troops online and responding to the air strikes and artillery shelling with their missiles and rockets at the same time. now more importantly, tel aviv has not been able to achieve any. of its estated goals of

eradicating hamas, pushing the palestinians out of gaza or releasing its captives. welcome to the spotlight, i'm behrus. let me introduce our guests in this edition. author and west asia expert is joining me from belfast. also with this is glenn desan, professor political science at the university. southeastern norway and oslow. now welcome to the show gentlemen, let me uh begin with saib shath. unprecedented dimensions of this war, as you now, uniquely, recorded around the world and live tv, targeting civilians including women and children, hitting schools, hospitals, un offices. alters stealing of body parts and

now we have reports of looting and thieving, reports of thieving emerging now of palestinian's property, beating gaza or the west bank. let's begin with your thought on this, and what kind of atrocity can we call this? this is not a new to start with, they looted the whole of palestine, they as they say they took a country with the turn of the key. palestine was one of the feuest countries on earth was documented by the united nation prior to the 181 resolution of the division of palestine mistakenably issued by the united nation at then the palestinians were everything was surveyed what the palestinian owns so if you go back to this the statics and the calculation they done you would know what these entity gangs stole with

the help of the british and the americans and the western of course from palestine, today as in with bank or in the gaza strip when the zianist entity goes invade village or house or anything, the first thing they go and they look for the jewelery of these families and they sometimes like what happened in gaza some of the of the victims they said they they even when they stole their jewelery they burned their money in front of them and they throw them nearly naked in the street, i'm talking about women and men in the gaza strip, so the looting is is part of of the the style of the invasion and the incubation forces they do all the time in the palestinian, they as as one of the uh the their minister was saying: "we have to invent

a way of inflicting pain on the palestinian worse than death, by they mean by that is killing their own, killing their kids in front of them, shooting pregnant women in front of them, their parents or their husbands or this and that, that is kind of maniacs and psychopathic army is the zianist entities have, and this is done with the..." knowledge of the west, i'll give you a maltese member of the european parliament said the describing the eu, he said the funny enough, unique is starting with the eu, the word, which is making the eu is like part of the american harim, he's stating, while they are killing and assassin and helping this entity committing genocide and we cannot do anything. about it, so they admit to this in

the european parliament, sure. now glenn, civilians are being killed execution style as you might have seen the footage, staffers are killed, journalists are intentionally gone down, and in the face of all of this, just check out the reaction by those western countries that, cried out of the top of their voice for helping ukraine when the conflict started there, so what can you call this, selective human rights or human rights for select people? yeah, i think selective human rights will probably be a good a good description, obviously, "this is not a new thing, because we see that calling for human rights, it's often instrumental for power politics. now, after the cold war, when it was asked that we would elevate the role of human rights in international affairs, the idea was that we would all try to transcend

power politics and put the human security first, but instead what we see is being used very selectively, so uh, so for example, we we we like to..." call out human rights abuses when we would like to reduce the sovereignty of other states, so be it you know from jugoslavia, iraq, syria, it's used as an excuse to bomb. uh, meanwhile, uh, when there's real severe human rights abuses, such as the genocide going on in gaza, it seemingly doesn't matter at all, so it's uh, it's not a new phenomenon, we see this over and over again, this is uh, "we pick and choose which human rights we care about, so it's a very damaging, i think for the eu as well, because it built up its entire reputation as being a sort of normative power, one that's attempted to primarily advanced uh, values primarily than human

rights values, and instead we see that it's become mail instrumental, it's simply a tool used to advance power politics and of..." this is not a new accusation, but in gaza due to the grotes and severe extent of the war crimes being committed, it's quite glaring and obvious that human rights are not really a principle, which is the held right sab, regarding these reprisal attacks by resistance fighters, yemenese have been pretty active, we just had a statement by the arm forces, terron warning washington london against. militarizing right see and attacking yemani cities and iran regards western anti-yemen attacks as strategic mistake, now you arm force intend to just stop israely boundships and that in response to the atrocities in gaza, the yemen is stated from

the beginning that they are taken a brothery action to support their brothers. in in palestine uh and that is to impose like a blockade in any of these bound to go to the zinis entity ships, zinis entity ships or ships carrying goods to the zin entity and they put a condition this is will stop if they left the siege and the blockade on gaza and allow humanitarian aid in gaza and stop this genocidal war in gaza the... taxes of america and britain supported by canada and howland and bahrain as well, they they didn't see that, they wanted to act in more protection to to bring more protection to the

zionist entity trade, and they said this is was a threat to the to the international maritime, which is not, but this is... shows how much is the united states of america is gonna go to support the zinest entity in his genocide against the palestinians and the yemani people demonstrated their will to go further uh today they targeted an american ship which is container ship in the 95 miles away eastern of of the port of aiden as as a reply to the american attack on on the united on yemen, the yemeni nos they've been attacked by the united states of america since 2014, they disguise that with saudi, emarati and that, but the yemani knows they've been under attack by the united states of america led campaign, so this is

will be continue the campaign and this is will show they are not gonna stop till this war is stop, and this is actually show weakness of the united states of america. and and and the british um militarizing the red sea and the gulf of eden uh to the limit they threat themselves the international uh maritime. right, okay, let me go to oslo and ask glenn about the same questions staying with yemen. according to a new york times report, glenn, despite the us, so-called task force operations, the mn military retains two-thirds of its ability to fire at vessels transiting the red sea, and just did one uh, just minutes ago, and they insist that the anti israel anti-us operations will go on until the aggression in gaza stops. your thoughts on the same question. "well, i don't doubt that there will continue. i mean, this is not new for the people of yemen, they've

been as the other guest correctly pointed out, the americans been killing them uh in horrific numbers, since 2014, 15, of course, they did it primarily through their proxies so being saudi arabia, but us and uk has been waging this war in yemen for quite some time, so i assume that they will..." continue with this uh obviously people point to the fact that they've been able to intercept a lot of the missiles and the drones uh, but but again they don't really have to hit any of the ships in order to be successful. uh, first of all, if you look at what one of these cheap drones cost for yemen versus the huge cost of missiles for the united states, it's already imposing a cost, and also if you see the the increased safety concerns insurances goes up for these israeli ships, ports are israeli ports are used less, so this is also then can be ticked off as a win for yemen, so they

does they don't really have a reason to to discontinue this, if anything i think after the united states and britain attack them, i think we will probably see more efforts to to strike back a retaliation, so hitting one of the british or american warships in the in the region, but of course overall this is all very... very dangerous, we see that you know the genocide in gaza now threatens to spread, obviously yemen already been attacked, the many in israel and also many in america was very eager to also go after lebanon, and obviously given the instability from this we see now us occupation forces in iraq and syria also coming under greater pressure and of course in places, well people like lince graham. for example, united states also sees this is a great opportunity to bring a war to iran saying they should strike their oil

refineries and wipe iran off the map so there's no there seems to be enough people hungry for for more war uh but i think uh you know yemen will restrain itself for now to uh to attack these ships as well as american warships okay yes the the deal with the one palestinian uh let's say resistance uh faction hamas first and then think of greater targets like iran, nice joke, now uh uh, let's take a look at the situation of captives held in gaza, some of them are getting killed in israely bombardment, at the same time israely occupation forces are abducting more and more palestinians especially from the west bank simultaneously, what about the fate of these is very captives, does televif care at all about them, the the des entity have this what we call the doctrine of canaval doctrine, which means they they give orders to their soldiers

to shoot anybody whose they think they fall captive in the hands of the resistance, the same thing they done when the helicopters were attacking the concert in near the border of gaza in the 7th of october, they thought these people are, some of them fall in the hands of the resistance, so they start shooting them, and this is when some of the even the... entities, its own people now saying in the investigation about some of these settlers in their homes were blown up by tanks when they said there is resistance with some captives in there, so this is is noting new on that, so this is why there is massive split now in within the israeli communities politically and in the streets, some of them... they want the the the resist the israeli government to compromise and the

news there is some news since the split in the cabinet, some two ministers went yesterday and joined the demonstrators demanding the cabinet do something to release the hostages, but they don't. netanyahu doesn't want, netanyahu wanted to continue the war and now playing with the card as well to extend the war to the border with egypt to control the rafa crossing with the... the philadelphia crossing, this all of it, it's it's a political game, and this is political game just to sustain himself and his government, doesn't care, he doesn't care about genus. side doesn't care about his own captives, doesn't care about anything, but there is too much pressure now on him to do something. okay, now in terms of justice, glan, you know, at the icj, international court of justice, israel accused south africa presenting a distorted view of the hostilities, and all of them are of course being reported, and the reporters are being shot dead. now, israel denies that its

military operation gaza is a stateled genocide campaign against palestinians, not... some countries like germany also stood by the telavive regime. now can the tribunal bring the perpetrators and criminals to justice? uh, it's well, that remains to be seen. it's a it is quite unique to have this trial going uh to begin with. and regarding the evidence though, what is quite unique in this trial is that israel has been very eager, it seems to provide evidence against themselves, because it's very difficult. to prove uh genocide, because there has to be both the action uh, which means to seemingly destroying either part of a population or its soul, and also there has to be the proven intention that this is what they're going for. now it just happens that israeli leaders, many many leaders including prime minister, keep making genocidal statements all the time, calling you the dehumanizing

the palestinians, calling them human scum animals, you have to be driven into. the sea, this kind of rhetoric, so so the israelit has provided lot of evidence for their own genocidal intent as well, so this is quite unique, if the if the trial will lead to anything, it remains to be seen, obviously the israelies will always rely on american support, which is unconditional, the europeans are less, less so, but still firm support, i think the europeans were very committed to israel after the attacks on the 7th of october uh but then i think many were shook when they saw this indiscriminate mass killings which the israel has been continuing for the past three months, so i i think many europeans might be sitting on the fence except for countries such as germany who will yeah commit themself completely to israel for yeah historical reasons, historical guilt as it is. all right, sab, the us has announced

it's sending 1500 troops to syria and iraq to fight in their words. bases have been attacked 130 times by resistance fighters, so us troops are not invited by the syrian government to be there, so what's the purpose behind the deployment? oh, very good question, this is where is this still overcoming towards syria? the zionist army and entity and the united states of america, they designs and we witnessed. the activation of daeshh in the near the tf area and near badia which is the desert of of syria and this is the the plan is to to to further the the war into syria, they want to take syria, this is what the americans and the zinis plan, they gonna succeed or not, this is will

be seen and definitely they're gonna be defeated, they want to take syria out of the equation. uh since they believe syria is the the the root uh connection between iraq and iran toward libanon on hizballah so this is the first they want to try to wage a war on syria dismantle syria and unleashed more of the terror takfiri groups within syria to to keep uh syria involved and mayhem and cannot protect itself and to stop these roots of supply to hisballah and then the further uh move will be targeting the lebanon, the hizballah, this is what they are planning to, if they succeed they think on doing that, then there are pressures on the iraqi government of withholding the iraqi money in the in the american banks and not given as as a leverage to be used against iraq to

restrain al hashd shabi, the popular mobilized unit which is and it's resistance groups, this is the the the scenario with the american trying to deploy to uh to strangle the resistance within iraq and within syria. okay, golen, if you want to comment on that, we have 30 seconds left only. no, i agree, i think they will try to continue regime change in syria and of course to continue to take their resources and also weekend uh, key ally of iran uh case, also i would also add that they're also an occuping. force in iraq, even that the iraqi parliament has asked the foreign forces to leave its soil, and refusing to do so effectively makes the us an occupying force there as well, exactly. okay, and that note we come to... end of this uh program, stop cheath, author and west asia expert join me from belfast, glen deeson, professor political science at the university of southeastern norway from oslo, and thank

you for watching this episode of the spotlight, i'm your host naja, i'll see you next time. خيبر يا يهود خيبر خيبر يا يهود الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الانتقام الانتقام

welcome to the palestinian village of alakaba. it's in the northern jordan valley, you think life here would be relatively simple and uncomplicated? for palestinians in area c uh that the way that israel treats them is hostile population, it makes them their lives as difficult as possible. those palestinian bidwan families who live in in almost about 52 communities without any kind of service. اننا جميعا في قاريه العقب لا نعلم لماذا الرد الاسرائي israel's focus is on

area. see, this is the goal, the immediate goal.
