12:02 pm
nothing can justify the collective punishment of the palestinian people. the humanitarian situation in gaza is beyond words: nowhere of and no one is safe, the words of un secretary of of of general antonio gutieresh. hello and welcome back to gaza under attack. i'm said puriza in in london. the u.s. israeli genocidal campaign in the gaza strip is now in its 100. third
12:03 pm
day, 16 palestinians, among them children, have been killed in the latest israeli strikes. israeli raids have also struck hanunis where there has been intense fighting between palestinian fighters and occupation forces. vital aid has begun to trickle into the blockaded coastal banthustan, with the united nations warning the amount getting in is nowhere near enough. phone and internet service in the strip is down for seventh day now. the longest blackout since the start of of the us israeli onslot on the territory, what risk does that pose to gaza's 2.3 million people, and why have different african nations taken opposing sides on the unfolding genocide in the world's largest open air prison, and the secretary of state, anthony blincon of the us, israel's biggest patron, calls the genocidal war on gaza got wrenching, does anyone believe him anymore?
12:04 pm
let's tackle those questions and more with journalist and broadcaster tete kofi here in the studio with me and with dr. paul larudi. dr. laruti is active with the international solidarity movement, a non-violent resistance group, and is a co-founder of the free palestine movement and the free gaza movement, whose boats broke a 41-year-old israeli naval blockade of gaza. gentlemen, thank you very much for being here. i'll of start with you, dr. larudy. "the us secretary of state anthony blincan speaking in davos uh calling this genocidal war uh on gaza got wrenching that that the death, not the killing in his words of innocent men, women and children breaks his heart, and yet he is the man at the forefront of making sure that the israeli regime can commit all kinds of crimes under the sun and get away with it, who really believes the american government anymore? i would say very..." few people,
12:05 pm
including lot of americans, but for different reasons, and in the case of anthony blancon, he represents the u.s. government, the us government in the person of ' president joe biden has has said to israel in more or less the the words that i'm saying now, get it done quickly. they want it, they want uh, israel to do what it thinks it needs to do as quickly as possible, so that the the the negative aspect of uh of having the first major genocide of the uh of the 21st century will not, uh fall on their backs, they're mostly concerned of course only about losing the the election, not about losing thousands and potentially as many as a million lives to disease and and other things, they're not concerned about that, but so to to answer
12:06 pm
your question, blincon's words don't mean a thing, because the united states which has the power to stop israel is not doing anything, on the contrary, they're helping israel to... commit this genocide with all the us resources available. all right, let's move from the states to africa. um, why is africa so divided on the question of israel and palestine, and and the unfolding genocide that we've been seeing play out before the eyes of the world in less than four months now. as far as i know, right now, most african countries uh... sitting on the sidelines, um, it it's shocking because they are all countries with a colonial experience behind them, they more than anybody else ought to know how it feels to be a palestinian under these circumstances, but there is one um common denominator amongst
12:07 pm
all those who are silent, and that is that they are all beholden to the key players, which is america and the united kingdom, they uh fear... the impact of non-adjacency uh to the united states of america and to the united kingdom, the they fear the impact that would have on their economic development, so actually um, it's not that they're silent, they've been muzzled, um, it's not what they want to do, because most people you speak to privately will tell you straight away to what's going on on their tv screens is absolutely beyond belief, in fact... i would say that um the the kind of the dissonance between the words spoken by man like blincan and the actions that are taking place are one the most informative developments developers the african mindset in recent times, if they
12:08 pm
had any doubts about the bonafides of some of the these very big players, they don't have any doubts about their bonafides now could also be that the israel has made these economic inroads into um the african continent over the years and as you say for economic reasons some of them are um taking sides with israel, but could it be that it was a plan on the part of the israelies? they would do this and make them dependent on themselves and have their backing a time like this so that they can get away with with genocide, well it's been part of the israeli plan not just in africa, it's been... part of the israeli plan worldwide, because in this country uh, one of the most powerful cancellation notices you can have is to be called an antiseemont, and so israel has very powerfully propagated the strope of antisemitism. now antisemitism does exist, no
12:09 pm
question about that, but to pull it out as the as the trump card, um, when extreme malfisence of the kind that's going on in gaza, um, takes place, it's just, i think it's one, it's a step too far, and paul, the eu parliament, just on thursday adopted a resolution calling for a permanent seaspire in gaza, um, does this mean anything, does the eu have that weight to make it happen given the entrenched us position? i think very few words from anybody, um, except the almighty, perhaps, if we hear from him ' are going to have much effect, what what speaks, as usual, are actions, and the actions are not coming from europe, europe is doing nothing to force an end to the genocide, neither is the united states, as we said earlier, so um, i, i expect that, the
12:10 pm
progress toward the genocide will continue, in fact i expected despite the whatever the ruling of the icj which about which i'm not very optimistic anyway, and we heard the germans say that they were going to send um thousands of tank ammunition to the israeli regime to carry on with this. massacre. now, the healthcare system in gaza has been brought to its knees. a world health organization official is describing what he calls atrocious living conditions and increased burden of care that's leading to deaths and collapse of the healthcare system in gaza. who health emergency officer sean casey has briefed reporters at un headquarters in new york following five-week deployment to the coastal enclave. have a listen. "we have been and continue to try to
12:11 pm
deliver critical medicines, medical consumables, fuel to the functioning hospitals that are still working, trying to continue to surge in additional health workers, doctors and nurses, to meet the enormous demand of trauma patients, but also patients with every other clinical presentation that you would. normally see, the pregnant women who still need anti-natal care and still need to deliver, the people who require dialysis, etc., and facing many challenges in doing so, access constraints, security constraints, limitations on our movements, every day we're trying to play catchup with the 60,00 injuries and the 200 plus new injuries that are occurring every day in a health system that is quickly losing its capacity. so what i what i would ask for of anybody who has any ability to change this dynamic is one a cessation of hostilities so
12:12 pm
that the injuries can stop and that the aid can reach the people who need it the most. um, but short of that, improving access, simplifying access. all right, ted, um, this systematic targeting of the healthcare system in gaza by the israeli occupation forces. "why do you think they're doing that, targeting civilian infrastructure the way they have? well, you could only think that the effective sol, the effective um impact of these things is to make the place uninhabitable uh to the people so that the people are driven out um either by flight if they're allowed to flee um or by death and for me actually it's the targeting of the medical infrastructure which is my first go to when people start. talking about genocide, you are, you've got a a scorched earth policy
12:13 pm
uh to make the place humanly inhabitable, and the only people in that place are gazons, palestinians, ergo, uh, genocide. at the end the day, just as the uh, the doctor said, um, actions speak far louder than words, and the double speak from blincon about it breaking it. heart and so on and so forth, well if it was breaking his heart so badly, he could tell israel which he arms, which he funds to cease and desist, he hasn't done that, he hasn't e uh paul, israel says it may uh refuse or it says it would um refuse granting visas to un officials, why do you think the un is now in tel aviv's cross hairs, some argue the un has been relatively to... in preventing this genocide? well, it is toothless, but israel, israel's um has
12:14 pm
described where it is now as a phase three of what do you want to call it, the war, the the genocide, and phase three consists of isolating completely, cutting off everything from from gaza, and uh and developing a strip around gaza which will be impenetrable to to anything including um radio signals and communication. now the the reason for the for the for cutting off aid from the un and for cutting off communication and everything is that there you notice that you don't have statistics now. for the people who are dying of anything except bombs and bullets. uh, the
12:15 pm
the statistics for people who are dying of disease caused by the actions of of israel has not yet gotten to level, and i'm not sure that it will be possible to get those statistics, but israel has planned for a quiet genocide through the use of disease and starvation and exposure, so this is this is how the genocide. will be accomplished in much greater numbers that even their biggest bombs can can can create exactly and the un has warned that more people in gaza could die of disease than in the carnage. that's been going on for more than three months, but i want to stay with you uh, paul, if if i may, how is the issue of this bombardment, relentless bombardment of gaza playing out in us politics in this election season, especially as far as pro- palestine and young voters are concerned, what is in their minds when they go to the polls? well, in the words
12:16 pm
of politicians, you hear nothing, it's it's about um, let's say the the the... border wall with mexico, it's it's about the economy, it's about all sorts of things, anything but the the billions of dollars in aid, military aid and all the help that's that's going to to gaza, and you don't hear about the the worst of it, i mean the the the propaganda in the us media is voluntarily among the corporate media is voluntary, voluntarily supporting israel, almost in the way that the the israeli media is is supporting it, so you don't hear very much. now americans do get this, but only if they they work at it, if they go to alternate media and social media and so forth, and the people who are seeing it, and that's quite a lot of them, are agased at it, but they
12:17 pm
don't, they don't feel that it's it's uh, it's something happen to somebody else. who who's not involved, they really don't make the connection as as as i would say the majority of the people, don't make the connection with the fact that the united states is feeding it, and the united states can stop it immediately by cutting off the eight. if only it would, um, just a quick reminder for our viewers if they've just joined us, this is gaza under attack with me, said priza, a deep dive, among other things into the brutality and inhumanity of the israeli regime's genocidal war on gaza. "the question the entire world has been asking for the past 100 plus days is why the zinis entity of israel has not stopped its blanket bombing of palestinians inside gaza. earlier we spoke with chema sanchez, the leader of the anti-imperialistas.com group, the and the resistance gathering in valencia, spain and
12:18 pm
asked him why he thinks this is so. the artificial state of israel is is losing the..." the communication guerrilla, the military war on the ground, and evidently with an enormous loss of life for what they are used to in the ranks, but above all terrible loss of innocent lives of civilians and palestinians, citizens as well of members the legitimate gatha resistance, so they are a dead end without experience in this type of situation when they are losing and in which they lost uh uh lose in almost all areas in this world of liberation that they respond then with genocide and upper hate for almost 100 years they don't know to do another another thing and then don't know how to emerge without defeat and they are not willing uh to give in because they they they know that will be the beginning of the end of their existence as a state and this flight
12:19 pm
forward will surely sooner rather than later be the end of this state and probly the end the cancer that is imperialism in the region, then is inflection point that was facilitated by this uh great and heroic attack of the october 7. chema also heiled the yemenis for challenging western imperialism by stopping their ships in the red sea. they do it as a brothers against a common enemy that is the anglo-yankey empire. it that's uh so without causing civilian bitings by stopping the ships that come to support israel, therefore is also carrying out this this task, this internationalis and militant anti-imperialist and humanitarian work as a great example for all of the humanity, by the way this action of attacking the economic economic backbone
12:20 pm
the empire is in fact the quickest way to stop this genocide. if that collective ways that claims to be defender of the human rights wanted to, but instead of that, instead comes to the aid of the aggressor and not to the beating. this is one more step in history in which the empire demonstrates its borasious and criminal attitude and and rebels its real intentions of power over the people and the human rights. australian foreign minister penny wong has reiterated. calls for calm and humanitarian aid to be granted to gazans after meeting with officials on her trip to the region. briefing reporters, wang affirmed australia's willingness to assist in efforts to...
12:21 pm
really concerned about the urgent need for humanitarian access, i've spoken about the risk of regional escalation and we have spoken about settler violence, these and many other issues having form our discussions. let's continue the conversation with ted kofi here is in the studio with me and dr. paul larudi um on skype, dr. larudi, i would like to continue with you, what is your analysis the joint us-uk strikes on yemen, iran's targeting of terrorists in syria, iraqi kurdistan and pakistan, the developments in
12:22 pm
southern lebanon. what do you think is happening? the united states - is in a situation now, which it was not, say 20 years ago or 30 years ago. where it depends on war for every aspect of its its existence, so it needs to create problems overseas in order to uh, in order to justify the use of its war machine uh, which uh, upon which the government of the united states itself depends, the the funds of the war machine are... what power the the the us government and the political parties, so this is part of the dna of the united states now, which i i
12:23 pm
would have to say, it was not as strong in the past as it is now, but this is because the united states is failing as as an economy, as viable country, it is, it doesn't produce anything. accept weapons and it doesn't even produce weapons to the extent that for example russia produces weapons, so it's it produces hardly anything at all except to print dollars and and to use them in these for for these purposes, so i i don't expect that that's going to change very much because these interests, the the military interests and the special interests, including the zionist interests have, have a stranglehold on the us economy and the us political establishment. um, across the pawn
12:24 pm
here in the in the uk, tet, um, the strangle hold that designist lobby and others may have on the british government here, but i want to talk to you about something else, perhaps we can talk about that later, but what do you make of news of an israeli? occupation force soldier by the name of levimon, having returned from gaza to the uk and being hosted by a jewish youth charity, this is guy who looked into the drawer of a palestinian woman um and he did a tik tok video of it and and also raised the israeli flag in a bombed out school in gaza and yet he got on the plane went through security at heathro and his back. home, what'd you make of that? there's a movement in london called, i think it's the international movement for justice in palestine, and they have just recently sent a
12:25 pm
dossier of what they call war crimes to scotland yard, now scotland yard once it receives this dossier is under an obligation to consider a prosecution under the um, the... the international court of uh justice, but the international criminal court. what this says is that this gentleman has ridden the wave of public impunity for actions in support of israel, and he may be the first person, one of the first people to come a cropper. it is absolutely uncontionable what that person does and he may well be liable for prosecution in the international criminal court for such an activity, so all of this is
12:26 pm
happening within a background and the background ground is that people in this country are slowly getting tired of being gaslighted into seeing that um saying that because hamas is a prescribed organization everything israel does in the territory is okay or supporters of israel do in the territory are okay i think that whoever supported that activity could be in for a public relations disaster all right that's say i'm afraid we're... fresh out of time. tedy coffee, paul laruti, thank you very much for your contributions and thank you for watching us. we will be back tomorrow with the latest. until then, continue to keep palestine in your hearts. goodbye.
