welcome back everyone, i'm zied puriza. nearly four months into the u.s. israeli genocidal war on palestinians, there is no sign of it stopping. we'll get to our guests in moment, but before that i look at some of the most recent developments. heavy israeli bombing across the gaza strip, often targeting heavily populated areas. after nearly four months of relentless shelling and countless evac'. evacuation orders, israeli

occupation forces are now pushing south of the coastal enclave. palestinians say there is nowhere to run. us secretary of state in saudi arabia with the us israeli genocidal war on gaza dominating his agenda. yemen says it won't backtrack on gaza and labels the us as the biggest threat to international shipping in the red sea. the eu foreign policy chief joseph burell warrants cutting funds to the un agency for. palestinian refugees anrua is disproportionate and dangerous. amnesty international reports a shocking spike in the use of unlawful lethal force by israeli forces against palestinians in the occupied west bank. palestinian solidarity on the rise, hundreds of thousands take to the streets of london once again to call for a permanent cease fire. at least 27,00 people have been killed, some 70,00 others wounded in the us israeli. genocidal

campaign in gaza since october last year, plenty to get our teeth into in the next half hour with my guests here in the studio, shahed daskir khan, a lawyer specializing in human rights and immigration litigation, and via skype from the mitlands in england, sarah wilkinson, pro-palestinian advocate and a leading light in the campaign to airdrop aid for gaza. thank you both for being here, i'll of start with you, shahed, we're looking. at more than 80% of gazens displaced, we're seeing intense chilling, as you heard me say earlier in rafa, um near the egyptian border, this was supposed to be safe place for the palestinians have been displaced so many times to seek sheltering, and yet it's not, they're being bombed, your reaction, that these are definitely genocidal actions. and

must be condemned in the strongest possible terms, not only condemnation is necessary, but also what surprises the international community is that the united states states have been compliced in not only just supporting israel, but openly being a part of of an illegal invasion where non combatents are being targeted by israel using hamas as an excuse to go in the gaza strip and now in the rafa area they have they have nowhere to go and added to that cutting down uh cutting this uh aid yeah uh to to the un agency

anwar, it's completely unacceptable, yes, let me, we'll get, let's get back to the unra question a little later, but let me bring in uh sarah, uh, sarah, the the the dire humanitarian situation there uh in gaza, you were involved in that campaign, air drop aid for gaza have just return from the region, just bring us up to speed on on what you have achieved and als so just how dire the situation is right, well the campaign air dropped for gaza was actually started by a man in the united states called yosi, so we we kind of became the face of the campaign, but accidentally we took it 3,002 miles to jordan, we met all the right people, we've got the aid loaded on the planes on the runway, and so that's the stage that we've got, now i know that yesterday there was a the first food drop was made with a dutch uh

dutch air force um and so we're really happy to see this, i don't actually care who drops the aid as long as somebody does, but the the buzz that it created by us being in jordan, the people we were. to speak to um has created a situation where other people are getting on board the campaign, it's so important because northern gaza, which is the proper north of gaza, the israelis have divided gaza into two, so we have to remember that what they're calling north gaza is actually central gaza, so northern regions, there's no aid trickling into northern regions, the infrastructure, the roads have gone, they've been destroyed, people are literally starving to death, the only way we can save their lives... "despite whether a ceasefire is declared or not, the only way we can save their lives is by dropping the food into area that they can reach without israeli snipers shooting them, so yeah, it was really important to carry the campaign on, and now we've come home and we're still pushing to get signatures uh, so that it continues to be

people power movement. it it it sure does, uh, sarah, um, perhaps we can talk about it a little bit more um later on, but uh, let's..." across from the rafa border, egypt's top diplomat sama sukri has warned of a wider conflict in the region if seaspire is not reached in gaza. he made that comment during a joint news conference with his french counterpart stephan sajorn in the so-called new administrative capital. have a lesson. the danger of the expansion. of conflict in the middle east, from the war in gaza, the threats we are seeing towards the navigation in the red sea, the military operations that took place in syria and iraq, as well as the military situation on the israeli lebanese borders, all warns from the escalation of the situation and slipping

towards a wider conflict, and that is what we are striving to avoid by calling for a cease fire in gaza and dealing with issues in a comprehensive political way. if i could stay with sarah briefly, sarah, egypt has has taken some heat for its lack of action in relation to gaza, for instance the closure of the crossing, the banning of pro-palestinian protests, um, you any reaction to what's been said in in that earlier clip, we just listen to, um, yeah, i mean, i egypt's a strange one, and they they they make out that they're very pro-palestinian, and then you've got thousands of aid trucks that are being held up at rafa, you have the... border actually closed, you've got four ships that they're not allowing to dock and two of which are are floating or mobile hospitals, you've got humanitarian aid stacked on the other two ships, egypt hasn't allowed them access, um, you know, his his statement, it's not kind of

true, we had four activists arrested when i was in cairo simply for handing um a list of petition in a letter to the uh ministry of foreign affairs so that was this guy who was behind it. um and they went in communicado and they and they were um deported um and declared persona nongrata which means they can never return to egypt so is egypt pro-palestinian? you know i really have to question this um there is thousands of trucks outside rafa and when i was trying to get footage to prove that egypt was was blockading this humanitarian aid and it's humanitarian aid whether they ask for a cease fire or not this this could save the life. the palestinians who've survived this genocide so far, so i believe now they're double parked and there's like twice as many as they were when i last went, so um, yeah, they've also ethnically cleansed the north sini, there's 14 military units that are have to occupied this area, um, if they are

pro-palestinian, why is there a tense city in north synai waiting for the influx of two million palestinian refugees, if if it is, if it's true that they do not want to... accept um the the refugees because that would be the end of gaza, then why is there a ten city already built for them? correct? um, shahed, if i could return to you, um, the us secretary of state, anthony blincon in the region again, you have one, the one hand you hear things like him or other american officials meeting palestinian americans, trying to condole them for having lost loved ones in the unfolding genocide that they are aiding and abeting, on the other hand you hear... '$14.1 billion dollars in military aid for the israeli regime to continue with that exact thing against the palestinians, how are we supposed to explain that? that is the hypocrisy of the policy, and to put it even mildly, the least that someone like

anthony blincan, yeah, should do is to promote'. peace, security and humanitarian and the flow of human humanitarian aid immediately, yeah, point number one, uh, of course, cease fire is also essential and two state solution, this otherwise this would be hogwash, everything is, anything else would not make any sense, so there has to be a political solution in a timely manner, we saw what happened in the 90s, we are 30 years on, we are seeing a genocide. the palestinian people, non combatents, the international conventions clearly say that two things,

number one, non combat combatents should not be targeted, number one, so there is war crime there, and number two, hospitals, education etc. facilities should not be affected in any way, so so so the i realize that there is case spending in the ice. yeah, on the application of south africa, so so the saudis, saudi government, uae, qatar, etc. should play a responsible part, very quickly, you talk about war crimes, so there are lots of evidence, uh, pieces of evidence of war crimes having been committed by the israelis against the palestinians, yet no action is taken against them other than what the south africans have done, yet they are alleged. allegation allegations against anrua based on israeli intelligence that turned out to be yes, disinformation at best, yes, um, it cut

funding is cut to the humanitarian agency, your your response to that, that's diabolical really, it's completely unacceptable, if we have respect for human rights and if you want peace in the region, peace in the region is linked to security of the palestinian people and respect and and respect for their dignity, their livelihood, their future, all of which is being destroyed, exactly by israel, yeah, and and at the behest and total unconditional support by the united states and its all and and its allies including the united kingdom, all right, okay, um, let's move on now, but just a quick reminder, this

is gaza under attack with me, said porza, where we take a deep dive into the news surrounding the us israel carnage in the gaza strip. there's been a shift amongst the british, as they realized they have been misled by their government and mainstream media regarding the us-israely genocide in gaza. this awakening means there will be no led-up in protests across the country until the... genocide of palestinians ends. that, according to benjamal, the director of palestine solidarity campaign, when we caught up with him at the national pro palestinian rally in london this past weekend. i think we are able to maintain the momentum because people are still outraged by the actions of our government. it's refusal to accept that israel is now charged in front of the world's highest court with the crime of gene. and that places responsibility on our government and they're not living up to those responsibilities, continuing to sell weapons

to israel and in the past couple of weeks making a decision to cut funding from unvra, the agency providing essential services to the palestinian people, and the continuing to march cuz they see what's happening, they see the genocide unling, they know that right now there are 1.7 million palestinians in gaza who are displaced, who are sheltering wherever they can in the rainy season. and they want that to end, and so until the genocide ends and until our government ceases to be complicit in that genocide, people will still keep on marching, keep on protesting, keep on boycotting. we've been demonstrating for years, we've never seen crowds of the size now, but it's not just the hundreds of thousands coming to march in london across the country, in small towns like dorchester, there are hundreds of school children who are walking out of their schools to go to their town centers to protest for palestine. something fundamental has shifted, those people have been told as they grow up by the mainstream media, by their political leaders

that israel's a liberal democracy, that it's a complicated conflict, have seen for themselves actually what's going on, understand the fundamental issues of justice and will not stand for it, and that's something i think that will make a fundamental shift in the dynamics of this struggle in the uk. benjam also said, both the bbc who have been complicit in this... and it reached a nadia a really low point during the icj judgment where it refused to televise south africa's case as it put it before the icj and then live streamed israel's defense so there's a reason why we're outside the bbc today because it's complicit as well in how it's covered this issue um but it's under pression it needs to change and that's part of our message today

since we started these marches there's been an attempt to delegitimize demonize those marching the former home secretary uh tried to call us hate marches, we were all hate mongus, tried to suggest that raising the palestinian flag should be treated with suspicion, uh, we've refused to yield, and the latest attempt was this week, on wednesday in a meeting with the police, they told us they wouldn't actually allow us to march to whitehall, we refused to back down, we got pressure put on the police uh, and then a day later they said, okay, you can march to whitehall, but they still imposed ludicrous orders on people, well there's a slogan that we chant as we march, no... seesfire no vote and what we mean by that is we see what you're saying at the moment, we see the positions you're taking, we're not going to forget it, you're accountable and people need to make sure that palestine is on the ballot in this general election when it comes, they need to make sure that every candidate is held accountable for very simple moral test, what did you do when the

palestinian people were going through a genocide, how do you act, and we don't want to be represented by people who are. tent to green light mass slaughter. also at the weekend demonstration, tens of thousands of britains demanding an end to the massacre of gazans and condemning the lack of action from their government. it was the first demo in the uk since the un's international court of justice ordered apartite israel to ensure acts of genocide are not committed in gaza. here are exerps of what those we talked to had to say. many of the west countries in the west are standing by. and doing nothing about it, um, they may make uh few uh token noises about the need for humanitarian aid and so on, but they're otherwise up to their necks in uh their complicity and their um guilt for permitting what is going to continue. the

british government could be complicit in lots these things, so the british government should think about what it's doing to aid his. and should stop aiding israel, stop arming israel, there's also been the disgraceful decision to stop funding the unra um organization, which is the one that the palestinians rely on for nearly everything, so that is huge problem, again there's only few governments have done that, but ours is included as is the united states, it's absolutely shameful decision, i think there's a lot of lobbying by the israelis, i think they a lot of people are in the pocket of... israelis, i think both labor, i know that lot of labor front benchers have all taken money from the israeli lobbyis and i suspect the same is true for the conservatives as well, i think it's it's very, very questionable and i think it's extraordinary given the amount of these protests that so little notice is shown, and maybe they just feel that come election day this will be a side issue, but i

think i think it's gone so far beyond that for many people. continuing the conversation with my guests shahid khan and sarah wilkinson as we enter the final segment of the show. sarah, let me continue with you. we've seen that the tens of thousands who continue to turn out a week after week, at some point, more than 800 thousand people uh for palestine and their voices keep getting louder nearly four months later. uh, what do you put that down to? i think uh, the israelis have certainly lost the uh propaganda war. i think people of... have started to wise up, i certainly think the younger generation coming through, they're no longer, they they have information technology at their fingertips, they're far more, using it far more and they're reading up far more, and they're not going to listen to the lies that we've been having to listen to for for years and what decades, um, so this this swell in uh the palestinian movement, don't forget what's been committed in in gaza at

the moments of genocide, and i don't think anybody, i mean not in my lifetime has i have i had a real time genocide being sort of streamed into my phone, the horrors of which are the worst thing that i've i've ever witnessed, i have friends and people on the ground who have been killed over over the course of the months that that this has happened, i've lost 12 people who who were my journalists really sent me information, i have one missing friend who's been a pen friend for years, this is it it it's absolutely awful, this is a genocide, so this is why people are rising up against it because we we had um a short space of time in may 2021 and 2014 there was 500 over 500 children killed in 51 days, but that's nothing in comparison to. 'we know we're talking of over 12,00 children, there are over 10,00 people still missing and under the rubble, and my friend is amongst them, so i think you know the swelling palestinian pro-palestinianism if you like, is because

this is the most heinous genocide, this heinous mass mass murder that has happened you know in my lifetime, in everybody's lifetime, so i think it's not so much the palestinian movement is growing, it's the crimes of the israeli regime are worsening, and it's not surprising that so many people'. have come out on the streets to oppose it and i and i hope it continues to grow, whether our government listens to us or not, don't forget they didn't vote for sease fire, which in itself should be a war crime, so let's see the movement grow uh and and and continue to expand and continue to get loud or until you know the government really is under so much pressure that it has to do something, it it has to start voting for seasfire for start or not abstain uh speaking of the government shahed, more than 70% of the uk population and now supported seas fire a permanent cease fire, not a humanitarian pause or anything like that, while the two main west minster parties oppose it, namely the conservatives

and and labor, what do you think will be the ramifications of this opposition to a ceasefire for them, considering we we're an election year? well, this takes us back to some 20 years when iraq was invaded millions of people. marched on the streets, but february, yes, yes, yes, and and the then prime minister tony blair ignored all that, the result was the continuation of insecurity and conflicts in the middle east, and i, i must add, the conflicts were supported by the west, which was the... which was supported by the west and the result has been injustice, so this time around it is important that the

voter takes note, yeah of the human rights abuses, of the genocidal actions of israel, supported fully financially and in terms of... of weaponization of israel by the united states and also to some extent to a great extent by unfortunately by our own government, the united government, united kingdom government, so so i think this time around there will be some support, i cannot say how much, because both the parties will try and... come come the election day, they will try and concentrate and bring around the voter to vote for them, yeah for reasons of economy and immigration etc. all right, that

that's what i think, but i think uh, people should go this time for candidates who supports fire, yeah, and try and not vote for candidates who do not support seesfire and who do not support human rights, violation of human rights by israel, all right, thank you very much, we're going to have to leave at the for now, many thanks again to shahit daskier, khan as well as sarah wilkinson for coming on, and thank you for watching us, gaza under attack, we'll be back tomorrow with the latest, until then continue to keep palestine in your hearts, goodbye.
