2:44 pm
demonstration started at the soul central mosque as muslims around the world are you know demonstrating in their opposition to the true genocide that's taking place now uh in gaza with uh the... recent massager happening in in rafa as people accued to receive humanitarian aid. this news is getting around the world and bringing people out in the street like here today in south korea, a country that really doesn't look too strongly at what's going on in the middle east, and yet people are recognizing that, you know, yes, south korea does have some involvement with countries in the in the middle east, including rather now contentious relationship with israel, as it enjoys $4 billion dollars
2:45 pm
in trade with israel as well as you know arms trade of of tens of millions of dollars, well generally here the government is trying to to take sort of a middle course uh because again of its trade with israel and its alliance relationship with the united states, also it relies you know at the same time its energy security toward saudi arabia. and and the uae, so the government has been slow both to cont to condemn israel and hesitant to condemn israel. in france and around the world, women and men took to the streets to celebrate international women's day. gender equality is defined differently in different countries, but most agree that all societies need to improve their empowerment of women. rami mahari reports from paris. on the
2:46 pm
international day for women's rights, demonstrations and pro- feminism strikes were held around france by women and the men who support their fight for equality. in october 1789, the women's march on versailles apprehended king louis 16th at his luxurious palace and brought him to justice in paris, but much work remains to be done in republican france. only 37% of french parliament is female, two-thirds of france's working poor are women, in large part because women compose. 80% of france's part-time workers, a return to far right economic austerity after the covid lockdowns hurt women more than any other minority. women are more likely to work in the government and to use social services, so cuts to government. in france, one woman is killed every three
2:47 pm
days by their partner or ex-partner. our government must take more measures to protect the safety of our women. we also need policies which abolish the male female pay gap and which better protect women from rape. israel's attempted genocide of gaza has had a disastrous effect on women, from the starvation of 60,00 pregnant women to the forced displacement of 1 million females, to the inhuman and degrading treatment of women by israeli forces, according to the united nations, to the murder of nearly 10,000 women. israel's genocide in gaza. is issue for all feminists and for all humanistts. anyone who thinks that we are at the wrong marge are obviously just zionist imperialist and they also obviously do not understand what it means to support women with equality, respect and justice. globally, 60% of poor people are women. they are paid 23% less than
2:48 pm
man even when doing the same work, and they spend two and a half more hours doing domestic chors than men. we have made some progress pushing women's rights to the forefront, but we must demand many other advancements. we must also not forget about the rights of girls, many of whom suffer from sexual violence, and he must be better protected and better represented by our government. in france and much of the west, women suffer from wide spread objectification and the commodification of their bodies. france allows the use of... naked women in public advertising, which many say undermines its regular claim to be feminist model which other nations must emulate. rimin masahari, press tv, paris.
2:49 pm
now welcome everyone to press tv's news review program where we get in-depth. in one the day's top stories: a ship carrying humanitarian aid is expected to depart cyprus for gaza this weekend as part of a maritime corridor announced by the european union. the spanish vessel open arms is scheduled to head for undisclosed location off the coast of gaza. it will reportedly tow a barge loaded with over 200 tons of food. eu commission. president talked about opening of the sea corridor during her visit to cypriot port a friday. president. biden also on thursday announced a us plan to build a floating dock off the gaza shore, however it's unclear if there's a link between the weekend shipment and the us plan. the expected delivery comes amid warnings that a trucks must be allowed to enter gaza in order to genuinely alleviate the humanitarian crisis there. un has stress land transport is the main artery of
2:50 pm
delivering supplies. the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative says a plan to build a port off gaza. is aimed at diverting attention from the real issues that gazons are grappling with. and now joining us for the program is john stepling, author and commentator joining us from inderoy norway. hello john, pleasure to have you here on our news review program. now, john, lot of people feel this is too little, too late. i mean, palestinians want this nightmare to end, not eat through it at this point. right, well, yeah, this is... is remember biden has an election coming up, so anything uh connected to the us directly is part of his campaigning and he the food drop, which you know actually ended up killing five people in gaza because parachutes didn't open, that was a tiny minuscule drop in the bucket in terms of what
2:51 pm
they need, and it's interesting that western media continues to cover this story as if um israel is is not governed by genocidal maniacs. the the report at politico or the hill or reuters, any of them... always say that critics are claiming israel is denying aid getting into gaza, but israel leaders deny this. now how can they deny it? how is that? how can the newspapers and media cover this story and take the claim the israeli denial at at face value as if it's at at all realistic or true? this has been a genocide, it's an ongoing genocide. and things like building floating docks, a technology by the way that was last used, i think in world war ii, um, you know, who knows if it's even
2:52 pm
connected to the, it might be connected to the, the oil field discovered off gaza, but it's not going to make an appreciable difference in terms of the people starving right this minute, open the the gates and let the trucks in, that's all there, and and then... and you now, forget the cease fire, let's just end zionism. i mean, more and more world war ii holocaust survivors are coming out and saying this is not sea like. um, critics like norman finkelstein and elon poppents that were saying this now is absolutely nazi like genocide. they are perpetrating the most horrific massacer since since world war ii with the third rich, and and 3000. people a low-ball estimate have died, half of them are children, women and children, and israeli leaders are saying that they intentionally intend to continue to
2:53 pm
shoot women and children, so you know these stories of an ageship really in the end serve as distraction from the actual horror that's going on, it should never have gotten to this this place, and we should not be seeing children in hospitals st. serving to death, dying of malnutrition, dehydration, and probably increasingly all the diseases of insanitation that are going to come with this, it is nightmare, and one ship, great, hope it gets through, but uh, until the west wakes up, the general public further wakes up, mean people are overwhelmingly pro palestinian globally, but they don't fully grasp that this is settler colonial um genocide and that zionism itself is settler colonialism and it's it's simply way past due
2:54 pm
to put an end to all of it and that's the thing john because i'm glad you mentioned you to address the real horrors going on because there's no food in gaza we understand that children are dying of starvation we understand that but it's not due to drought it's not due to a bad farming year it's due to the fact that your ally as europeans as washington is withholding you food from getting into these people, it's it's basically using food as a weapon of war, it's a serious breach, it's a war crime, serious breach of the rules of engagement, is it not shameful at this point that the only answer the europeans and americans have is setting up a makeshift pier or sending in a ship full of food when they could do so much more to address the war crime that's taking place here, but absolutely, absolutely, look, this is at best aband aid, and uh yeah, you can't, you can't, one runs out of adjectives and descriptions for the horror, the depravity of idf soldiers, the the the cruelty and sadism
2:55 pm
of of the settlers who block the food getting in, they are intentionally blocking food that is intended for starving children and infants, what kind of culture? and society does that, it is, it is worse than nazis in many ways, it is wantonly cruel, and and sadistic, and and it's shameful, i mean, the chinese, one of the chinese leading politicians, um, said the other day, this is a civilizational shame uh, that we all share, because this nightmare should never have gotten to this point, right, and before you let you go, it also... one thing that this signifies them trying to figure out ways to get food into gazins now and basically supposedly i don't know if it's for theatrics or not uh circumvent the israelis to do so is
2:56 pm
that there are accepting the fact the washington and the europeans that this thing might get protracted, that where's the sense of urgency and putting a stop to it? when you're starting to trying to figure out - setting up pier, you're going to try to feed these people while they the israelis your ally continues this campaign of genocide. yeah, it's it's nonsensical, but as i say this is this is from washington's point of view, um, you know, uh, at one moment biden talks about we have to get food, this is humanitarian crisis, we are going. going to send an air drop of you know uh ready eat meals uh and on the other hand he okays you know another huge shipment of weapons and armaments to to israel to further the genocide they could stop this washington could stop this in five minutes with a phone call they could stop it israel is utterly dependent on the united states and their largess and and subsidizing of their kind
2:57 pm
of... fake country uh, they could stop it right now, but but they have no intention of stopping it, they're not going to stop it, they're complicit in it, the leadership in washington, the biden's cabinet, all the think tanks, all the all the people elected to office uh, 70% are hardcore zionist supporters, so it's not going to change from the us perspective um anytime soon. all right, thank you, john, stay safe, i was a pleasure to check. with you john stepling, the're joining us from indoroia norway, and that brings us to the end of your press tv news review program, everyone thanks for tuning in and goodbye for now, in the midst of the war between the arab and israel, june 8th, 1967. unidentified
