of of

hello and welcome to press tv, spotlight and hashimi, thanks so much for being with us. as the zianis genocide continues on the gaza strip, the newest dimension to the mass murder is a looming ground invasion of rafa.

regime officials say that they will send troops into rafa and civilians should leave the area which had been labeled as a safe zone by the regime. rafa is a city which had a pre-october 7th population of 280,000 people and now has 1.3 million displaced people. there is no safe place for them to go and there is no place safe in gaza. i like to welcome my guests to the program author and uh expert on west asia and jahangangeer mohammed director of center for muslim affairs out of manchester thank you both for being with us, i like to start off with sab shath and in belfast, is it that israel wants

to prove to the world that it can do whatever it wants, even promising to invade and overpopulated civilian area, and no one and no entity will touch it. you see, this zinis killing war machine, which waging uh that's military genocidal campaign, the international court of justice itself has deemed that campaign to... be a plausible genocide uh and still we can see uh western countries uh till now entrenched in of supporting the zianist entity in its own campaign against the people of palestine especially now the the rafah region and in there we heard last friday netanyahu coming out and saying to his people he gna act a

total victory over the palestinian resistance and the total victory, which is the when you think of it, the zis army, which is recruiting more reserves today for that campaign, have the open doors arsenals for it from the united states of america, from the west, all of it, you know, reconnaissance aeroplanes on the skies are british and french, the germans in total, supplies and support against ill equipped resistance who's manufacturing their own weapons with their hands, but they are equipped with the very high will, iron will to defend their land and their people. this is to the west, when they know netanyahu after 129 days cannot achieve victory and think by going to rafak. to

achieve genocide and to kill more innocent people that he can market there is kind of victory for the zianist thirsty blood thirsty population and western. gets: i can't believe that is still they talking about going into rafah, rafa, if you want to put it in a scale of small tiny rooms which tents or buildings in each individual room there is roughly 25 people in inside and as we witnessed this early morning and small attack and killed so many and injured so many and devastated the whole area ra so the intention is genocide. the intention is ethnic cleansing of of rafa, would we succeed with that? i don't know, but but the resistant putting huge fight encountering that, and they didn't achieve anything yet, they destroyed khanunis destroyed the gaza, but on the ground there

is no military achieve achievement, what they doing is targeting civilians, killing innocent people, all right, stay with me, but let me get jahangar and this uh discussion, john, would you say the level of erogance by the israeli regime has not been seen in recent history, usually entities, which go against international law, deny doing so, and usually they do not admit their own guilt, but israel announces its geneside of crimes against humanity and then commits them, your thoughts, um, well, yes, this is uh, you know, we are seeing this um, really live "for the first time uh on our screens, on our mobile phones, we're seeing the horrors and mass slaughter, total, total destruction of all way of life of the palestinian people, and you know the strange thing is that or the

most horrific thing is that uh, not only the do they talk about what they're going to do, they do it, and then we have images. of idf soldiers uh photographing their crimes themselves and displaying it to the world and showing children and others the and destruction of homes and boasting about it and and actually enjoying it and telling the world they're going to do lot more uh worse than what they're doing so we've never seen anything like this you know usually even soldiers are disciplined or they may commit some excesses or some will enjoy it, but here we have um not only soldiers doing these crimes but seem to be enjoying it and the

media in israel and the population from all the surveys uh also seems to be displaying the same support for what's going on and even "you know they want even more harsher treatment right uh, so it's it's it's unique really, it it's absolutely mind-boggling. well, sab, more than 28,300 palestinians have been killed in just over four months, western countries and international organizations say the ground invasion rafa shouldn't happen and that it would be catastrophic. actions speak louder than words, however, so why don't they stop it from happening?" exactly, this is very good question, you can see the streets the uk, france, of united states of america itself, of ireland, all the west, filled with people, amazing people and calling and crying

to stop the genocide, and it's still the the the united states of america only issuing bathatic statement encouraging this entity to to. attack, but at the same time to take care, not to inflect that much harm on the civilians. how can a military machine a trained to kill and designed to ethnically cleanse the palestinians from 1948 till today? we seen their action, we seen their massacres and as your guest said rightly, it's lives on social media, all their massacres and you telling them to be careful, you instruct the... them the western ruling elite is party to the genocide and that's why you don't want to call a straight away the spad spad as they say they just issuing pathetic double standard statement because at the end of the day the defeat of the zionist

entity they see it is their own defeat and this is this genocidal satanic state called the zins entity which have a population of 70% 5% in a pole couple of weeks ago asking the army to inflict more pain in the palestinian a more destruction. what can you call a state like that which is own population? want to see more blood and more killing and more destruction, what is left in gaza to destroy more? when when even the the netanyahu orders in in a friday saying to his military and today calling for the united nation and and its agencies to help them in moving the population from rafah to help them in limiting the the casualties among them to where to go to where there is nothing left in the there is no homes for those displaced people to go to, there is no schools, no hospitals, no, no roads, nothing left, they

destroyed everything, you never seen that kind of viciousness and a criminal act anywhere in the world before, right? well, jahanganger, massacre after massacre has taken place against palestinians, water, food and electricity have been cut off or severely limited by the regime to gaza, and bombings and targeting uh... targeted killings by zinanist snipers against civilians is the norm. in your opinion, which one of these isn't a crime against humanity? well, they are all crimes against humanity and they are collective punishment of people with the goal of um ethnically cleansing them. the the real issue is that israel doesn't want a one-state solution, it does want two-state solution, so that leaves them with two options: liquidation of the palestinian people or push

them into another land, cleansing them, and their goal right from the beginning, in fact since last december when this new government came, they made it clear that they believe that the whole of the the land occupied territories belong to them, this is god's you know the god has given them this, this is their right? uh for jews all around the world, and so they are driven by a messianic and jewish supremacist ideology, which is driving their insanity, which shows no remorse for any human beings, they are totally driven by this, and their goal has been to push the palestinian people in gaza into... to the sin and if it wasn't for the resistance of the uh palestinian people, the

determination to stay on their homeland uh this would have already happened uh and and now they told them to go to the south and now they are bombing the south so they hope they will uh leave, it will be impossible for them to live and they will go into raffa or egypt will see the desperation or other people and they will take the palestinian. so this is a clear, it's clear goal, it's not a uh uh, you know, agenda, something that's just crazy, they have a clear mission and goal uh, which they are doing through these mass horrors, the icj told them to give more humanitarian aid, and in fact they've done to stop some of these things and they've actually uh done the total opposite, and of course this is being done, uh with the blessing of the west uh intelligence of of of western nations right?

well sab, one out of every 100 kids in gaza, i will repeat that, one out of every 100 kids in god has been killed since october the 7th, or over 10,00 kids. i mean, it's just so difficult even take in into a... imagine how is this happening in 2024? it's happening because the masks fell off, we see the ruling elite in the west, how they rushed the to support the ziist entity, given the greenland, green light and card blanch to attack the palestinian people and have no limits, no borders whatsoever, all this hypocritical... towns came just this couple of days worrying since the international

court of justice i said ablausible genocide in there, they worried to be implicated, they are immersed in it, not even implicated, the problem is the the designist entity eliminate a whole generation in palestine in gaza strip mainly and targeting the young, always the young, and when you look at the number of the casualties and the... in there you'll find the the the shooting number of the children and then women and after that the adults, mean adults, this is is direct indication to... 'who is their target and we seen some the t-shirts, the zionist entity war machine a criminal even army is marketing among themselves and where in one bullet for two where is a pregnant palestinian women in there and the bullet so it kills the women and the feetes this a criminal entity they

brag about this they brag about how they torture the palestinian they brag about how they destroy them they brag about how the'. humanizing them, but the problem is we have here a hypocritical west led by genocidal jew in in the white house, insist in killing and punishing the palestinian for one reason only, they stood their ground, they refused to be put pushed away, and they stand to liberate their land, and they are trying to tell the whole world, this is an imperialist colonialist project brought the the the... these ziist maniacs from all over europe to destroy palestine and to keep it as a controlling or area for the west asia, the palestinian the are entreached in defeating them and trust me you can hear the kids of palestine and the elder of palestine all insist in standing their ground and resist to the day they liberate g to liberate palestine

and they will but the problem the palestinians are facing with apart of from the west their own arabs and muslims around them, none of them helping except the resistance camp, that's all. you can see supplies coming from the emirates through sudya arabia through jordan going to the zin entity. okay, stay with me, i want to touch on that a little bit later, but uh, jahanganger, um, as time passes and more palestinians are killed. ironically, zionist settlers are complaining that they are under pressure, and these are difficult times for them. settlers have had to evacuate both. southern and northern parts of the occupied territories, hamas in the south and hezbullah in the north have threatened the security of settlers in those areas. your thoughts about that? well, i think you know the the um european or western uh invaders, i don't want to call them settlers, because they are

taking somebody else's land and property, these uh colonial invaders. are expelling expelled the native population uh and of course they you know they thought it was all peaceful and normal and they used to normal lives - you know western lives um with you know big homes or the you know comfortable homes in in in the west uh their lifestyle. as normal, they're not used to uh, you know, even though it's a fraction of what the palestinians are going through, they're not used to this kind of uh uh trouble, so they uh, and they have other passports, they can simply take their passports and go back to their other homes in europe, the palestinians

don't have that option, um, so um, the, you know, the the um, the actions in the north and by the the houties, um, this is causing some discomfort to them, and they've decided uh, that even that uh, that discomfort uh, you know, is too much, yet they don't reflect on what the the they they are putting the palestinians through, uh, the palestinian people, so yeah, you just mentioned, let me just jump in here, you just mentioned something very interesting. it's amazing that disconnect, just what you just said, that they may be going through what they call discomfort, they don't realize or they ignore the genocide that they two are part of that are perpetrating against the palestiny, why do you think that is the case, jihanganger, that there seems to be such a disconnect from reality, um, the disconnect is is is is there

because the as i say, zionism has now become an ideology of... of um of jewish supremacy, racial supremacy, and that has dehumanized the palestinian people, that dehumanization takes place in their media, in their schools and in western media as well, unfortunately, the palestinians are the most dehumanized people on the planet, they are subhumans and they don't, they you know they don't have or they're not... seen as members of the human race like anybody else, and that's what uh ideologies of racial supremacy do, okay, and and it's shameful really, because the jewish people should know better, they've been through that process in in nazi germany and they should understand uh that and they

should be able to uh you know empathize, but they don't, because let me stop back in on this, stay with me john, more than 500 thousand israelies have fled the zionist entity uh and as jaangier said they have that option uh would to... have other nationalities, but do you think this is just the beginning that we're seeing the beginning these uh individuals leaving because there's increase in security and also major economic pressure, will we see the zionist returning to their homes? i want to follow from what jihan was saying rightly, biden in 1986 he said in the congress, he the israel is the... best investment they ever made for the billion dollar, if there was no israel, they have to invent an israel, which is summarize this colonial outpost which servicing the

interest of the united nation empire, the united states empire and the west, and that's why as 1917 when the british b for declaration and they establish their entity starting there, that was around 25 years before the holocaust even, so the... project was in there to cleanse the with anti-emitic policies of the west and bring the jews in palestine to serve as the soldiers for the this empire project when in 7 october attack happened you see the western leader rushed to palestine to the des entity which is rightly is palestine uh and but to sure them up that united states is there and the the foreign ministry of the entity issued warning to the all the population that don't go anywhere in the world because there is rise of antisemitism, the don't want anybody to leave, but tons of people left, and if you

look at the united states of america with the money it's pouring at the zinest entity, every individual zanis who will live in the entity have a free education, a free health, a free all the services, none of that applies on the united states of america, and they took the taxpayers money to subsidize israel the... deny the the western people in the uk or in the united states of america from lot of free services which thesirous entity people enjoy on the back of the people taxpayers money here that's to sustain and to encourage them to stay because if they start evacuating palestine the whole project collaps those people come from east europe ukraine or from russia or from somewhere in the west and they have as as jahan said two nationalities, they have two passports, they can enjoy summers in in palestine and swimming pool in the settlements while the palestinian farmer cannot find any kind of

water irrigate his plants or give to his cattle, the same thing in gaza, they boys in the aquafire because they suck all of the water out of it to enjoy their swimming pools in these settlements and suddenly when they see there is danger they use the second nationality and start fleeing, this is... why the west goes and shows the french, the italians, the germans, the americans and the british, even the romanians, all of them to solidify this this zinist entity and say, we gna make sure you will stay on the ground, because while is there they can succeed in controlling west asia, transport, oil, gas, and then they can hegemanize the world, because while they are there, they can control the growth. okay, okay, what is your assessment of the performance of the axes of resistance front in fighting the israeli regime during this genocide? well, i think

um, the the that is the only resistance that is taking place against um the um uh state of israel uh in the north and by the hoothies and whatever is happening in iraq ' and um, you know, they are also at the same time trying to ensure that there's not regional chaos that the war doesn't spread and um provide some support to the people of the the palestinian people, but you know the the reality is that unless some military force like the egyptians or other arab states take action against the the israel forces in gaza to stop them, this genocide will continue and

they will continue to slow. because they have the full backing of the west, their sugar daddies in the west, the western leaders who are supporting them, and so there is no, there is no opposition in gaza to what they're doing, and they will continue to do that, and obviously, the the palestinian people are putting up stiff resistance for the last four months, but you know they are lightly armed militia up against, one of the most powerful militaries backed by uh the united states and united kingdom world superpower so uh they they can only do what they have the capacity to do okay um but you know nobody else is stepping in uh and not even you know some of the other countries in the region the hootis obviously are taking uh action but uh others are not even taking u

imposing sanctions and some are even as you said trading and and oil is being supplied via azerbaijan and turkey and other countries to to the state of israel. yeah, well real quick, 30 seconds buse we don't have much time sub chef about that these countries, because actually the spokesman for hamas tonight, he talked about the uae, he talked about jordan, he talked about all the countries, india, all the countries that are helping these. regime get in their supplies on the land and he's asking the people to block these supply lines and to stand up to their governments. 30 seconds final comments. there is lots of these regimes are involved, especially like jordan. jordan today, the the king of jordan released a video showing he is air dropping aid to gaza. i can't believe that while the whole supplies coming through jordan to the zinis entity militarily or

food. slize the turkish as well, erdogan say a statement, but de facto they are supporting this entity, the its root of supplies of energy, lot of countries involved in that, the people have have to move and to block these regimes and have to revolt against these regimes, because on that note so sorry, we're out of time, i appreciate you both being with us, shath bruss from brussels, author west asia expert and jahanganger mohammed director of center for muslim. affairs out of manchester, and thank you vers for being with us on another spotlight, i'm marza hashim, hope to see you right here next time, goodbye, after the occupation of palestinian lands and creation of the israeli regime, both... sides

came to realize the power of cinema in getting their messages across. the israeli regime used cinema to show the territory it had occupied as heaven on earth in order to entice jews from all over the world to migrate to the occupied territories. on the other hand, although belatedly, palestinians also learn to use the power of media. media and cinema to make their voice heard across the world, there was a new battlefield for both sides,

one you're watching. repressive headlines: israel intensifies its deadly air strikes from gaza's southern city of rafa ahead of a planned ground assault in the city where nearly million and a half palestinians are sheltering. iran warns expansion of israel's genocide and war crimes to the southern city of rafa will have serious consequences for the israeli regime. and in international human.
