hello and welcome to press tv: spotlight, i'm marsia hashimi, thanks so much for being with us and the holocaust on palestinians in gaza continues by the zinius regime, there will be no cease fire for the beginning of the month of ramadan, and there seems to be no pressure on the... zionist regime. united states and

its cohorts have not only given the zionist entity the green light to continue its genocide, but these countries are complicit. inflicting as much pain and suffering as possible seems to be the goal of the zionis and their western backers. we're going to take a look at uh what happened today and what has happened for the last five and a half months on this uh program. i'd like to of welcome my guests to the program. harley schlanker spokesman international shidler institute out of germany and john phoenix journalist and international relations expert out of london. thank you both for being with us. well, hardy, let me start it off with you. did you expect this genocide to still be going on five and a half months later? well,

i, i think anyone who's listened to joe biden can realize that whatever he says about being more humane and stopping the killing of civilians, it means nothing, because if the united states wanted to stop the killing, they could very quickly by cutting off the money and cutting off the weapons and cutting off the diplomatic cover, so regardless of the fact that biden said he wanted to cease fire by ramadan, that the... is putting out these messages, blincon travels there, jake sullivan, the national security advisor, all of them are saying that this is unacceptable, they know that that's not going to stop, and the problem is that the us is giving, as you said, a green light to the zionist regime, the netanyahu regime, to slaughter palestinians, now the other aspect of this is what about europe, what about? allies, the

nato allies of the united states, there have been a few voices raised, but on the whole, the europeans remain fully in the camp of of netanyahu, obviously many of them believe that the solution to the problem in in the region is to drive the palestinians out of palestine, they won't say it, but that's what they're letting netanyahu do, and so i'm not surprised that it's continued, i'm horrified that it is, my organization is working to do everything. we can to build movement to stop it, but so far the biden regime is totally of committed to defending netanyahu despite his statements today on msnbc that he's upset with with netanyahu, stay with me on that, i'm going to get to that a little bit later in the program, now john, did you expect that a cease fire would be in place by the month of ramadan? well, i believe that the uh the issue off. ramadan which was just l service

by the biden, i believe that they know the ramadan is starting tomorrow and the israelis for several times refused after meeting with the katari mediators and the egyptian mediators, they refuse any proposal proposed by hamas, which is a symbol proposal is that they will obviously israel had to draw from gaza and seefire. now will be at the same time and then the first week they will start obviously going through exchange of prisoners and then from the from there they take it for second phase which is the israel would have to be out of gaza completely now they rejected that okay okay they because they wanted to give the palestinians a break in ramadan so after ramadan they'l be ready to come back and slaughter them they are refusing. only for ramadan, this is not

acceptable for the palestinians, right? so that's why they proposal of having se fire before ramadan or for. ramadan is is fair right? what about that harley? it's it's actually quite mind-boggling that it is proposed and we saw it earlier, there is a temporary ceasefire, we we have pause and then we get back to the genocide. mean it is so mind boggling uh so dystopian just to think about this being even a possibility that they were bringing this up. well that that just shows the hypocrisy. mean the idea that... that you're going to stop firing for a little bit of time to get the hostages back, then you're going to go back in and continue the mass murder. the fact that no one's calling that out shows you the extent to which the west has lost all semblance of morality. now i just was a briefing this

afternoon at the south african embassy in in berlin, and what they said is they're going to continue to go to the the international court of justice with one complaint. after another to try and get some motion on this, but you look at what this means, even if the international court of justice rules that this is genocide and it should stop, it goes to the united nations, and the us continues to veto even a ceasefire resolution at the un. so when the us says they want to cease fire, i ask, well, what's the evidence that they really do? there's no evidence that they do, they're comfortable with the destruction the palestinian population. "and of course this goes back to why it is that they supported netanyahu's efforts to break apart the unity of the palestinians, why netanyahu for a period of time was funding hamas, why the israelis uh were so-called caught off guard on october 7th, this is what israel has

intended to do, the ethnic cleansing has not stopped from 1948 to the present. okay, well john, from a military perspective,..." "the zionist regime really has not been successful in gaza. are you surprised at the way the palestinian resistance has inflicted harm though on the zionist military? i didn't think so, because this is not the first war, actually the only different between this war and revous war, this is the genocide where they now they change the tactic of attacking civilians bnd the schools and hospitals, they know if they went obviously for one to one fight with" hamas, they will not really be able to succeed, they tried hamas several times before and they fail, the only different now is they are not attacking hamas per say, they are attacking the civilians and hospitals and schools, you know, it is really a verbaric war, not a war, a verbaric

genocide against the palestinian civilians, so i'm not surprised that the palestinians who will fight to the last second, the last... of blood in to defend their own land, right? of course. well, harley, why is the us playing this game as if it wants to help the palestinians and get aid to them, but at the same time it doesn't actually stop the genocide and it actually helps with it. well, let me give you slightly broader perspective where this fits, which is that we've just seen motion with the so-called bricks countries, brazil, russia, india, china, south africa. expanding to include number of nations in the region, including the united arab emirates, saudi arabia, egypt, ethiopia and iran. now the importance of that is that the united states, the the military industrial complex that controls the united states is trying to destroy the potential for

new financial system, and you see that in terms of the attacks on russia, the attempt to destroy russia, and now we see the attempt to create a wider regional war. for what purpose to maintain the us soul superpower status with israel as an enforcer agent of that. my view and our view is that israel is being used as a tool by the anglo-american networks to maintain the unipolar order, and from that standpoint, biden, blincon, they don't care one bit for the murder of palestinian children. saw that with madeline albright, the former secretary of state, who praised the killing of 500,000 iraqi children by sanctions, saying that it was worth it to get rid of saddam hussein, so this is the blood thirsty mentality of the click that controls the government in the united states

and the united kingdom, and that's why they keep vetoing these resolutions, and they they cry crocodile tears about the children who are dying as they give more weapons to the israelis to kill them. yeah. quite amazing when you hear this and see what's happening, well, well, john, us president joe biden on american network on saturday said that there is a red line for the israeli regime in netanyahu, later on in the same program, he's that there is no red line for the regime, what do you make of this? mean, they had to keep in mind one thing that the the players here, the person who control the whole scene is not is the zanist lobby in washington, obviously the joe bidon throw this out as obviously election year now and he tried to obviously to distance himself from the genocide by saying you look you know we we're not gna allow the israelis attacking rafa well nearly half of gaza strip in in the city

of rafa, they still attacking uh ages of rafah yesterday they they killed 30 people the what you mean it okay to slaughter other people in canunis b camp eight refugee camps they been you know slaughter daily and left to start to death yet he just worried about rafa you know the issue of the aid which is as you mentioned early you know they are quick enough to bump the hudaida in yeman hidida airport they they can bump anywhere but they cannot drop aids to the palestinians you know most of the aids was dropped by the jordanians in the sea where the palestinans have to go to the sea to fish the the aid and the the sist navy there killing them on the water so it's really hypocrisy of the biiden by actually saying "now we have a red line, he cannot across the red line in rafa, but we don't have a red line because we cannot

really abandon israel, well he's sending daily supply of military equipment to israel to kill palestinians, so why is only in nearly 780 thousand palestinians, why is only where the 75000 in the central of gaza and in in north of gaza, they left there to starve to death?" "well, harley, is the zionist regime and the regime in washington basically one and the same? well, i, let me take a step back and and make point that i think is important. the american people are starting to turn against this war. they're seeing the footage, the social media coverage, and we saw the results of even the democratic party rebelling against biden and the super tuesday primaries, it's not an..."

the us military industrial complex, they are totally tied in with the same banks and financial institutions that that run israel, and you the question that some people have is the zionist lobby running the united states, well the zionist lobby is essentially the corporate cartels of banks and defense sector companies and others that want war, they don't care if it's an ukraine or israel, they've done their their damdest over the years to try and portray. every palestinian as a terrorist to justify the attack on palestine, and so most americans don't know

the story of the colonial occupation of palestine going back beyond 1948 to the whole belford declaration and so on. right, so as a result the american people let biden lie and and let him get away with it, although as i said there is a resistance building to that. well, john, since. us and israeli policy seems to be so intertwined, excuse me, does it mean that both entities can be charged with war crimes and genocide? well, yes, the those who aiding the genocide under the international law, they should be charged because they are part of the genocide, yet physically they are not obviously involved, but we do also aware that there is some military informment by the american. in the beginning those who listen to lot of the locals in canunis, he was after talking to

some of the soldiers who did say we are from usa, spoke to them in english, so the united states cannot just obviously in the end say nothing to do with us, they aiding the zin regime, they supplying them with with the weapons and also they sub blind them with all footages, which is telling them where is the movement of hamas. if they any movement and they have their own satellite there, so they are actually practically part of that genocide, but the problem is wherever happen in the international court or united nation, there is no... mechanism to force israel or to punish israel, they are above the law and when any any as your guest said early, any time any resolution go to united states, it doesn't matter how many countries will will will vote for it, one vote, one veto which is united state, so that's what the three times

so far they v to the seas fire, just to stop the killing is not even involving the israel with drone. from gaza and go back to uh uh the seven of october obviously, they wanted actually to keep the the slaughter by actually being obstacle by stubbing the the the the the the slaughter of the civilians. well, harley, do you think the us proposed setup of a port off of gaza is rus, as many analysts are saying, to basically empty gaza of palestinians and to take control of the strip and its natural resources. well, i think that... that is a cruel hoax, the idea that you're going to put peer out into the ocean and deliver some food, you the us made a big deal out of dropping 38,00 meals ready eat, 38,00 for one and a half million starving people, i think if it weren't so deadly it would be, people would be laughing at this, but i want to go back to this question of the complicity of the united

states, because the genocide convention of 1947-48 said that supplying weapons and support to nation committing genocide means the nation supplying the aid and the money and the weapons is also complicit, and so under international law, if there really was a rules-based order, which blincan keeps talking about, the united states should be brought on charges of genocide along with israel, and the fact that it hasn't been shows the extent to which nations are afraid to turn again. the the unipolar order, because the us, look, there's the the seventh fleet or the whatever the sixth fleet is in the mediterranean, the us has proven its willingness to conduct killing in iraq, in afghanistan, in libya, in syria, with the support of the terrorists there, so i think the problem is there's got to be a reaction

in the united states and europe, and it's important what you're doing to get the story out, because you're... news does get covered in the united states, they they try to silence it, but the more the the truth gets out, the more chance we have that we can turn this around, yeah, they definitely try to silence this network many times, but go ahead, john, you want to say something, don't forget in the beginning of the the genocide, the usa said their military ship bordering the lebanese shoes and send obviously written messages to through the libanese government to hezballah that involve, not only the supplying women, they veating any resolution to condemn the zinis entity in united nation, they physically actually on the actually on the sea during hizballah if you involve we had to involve to protect israel, so as gentleman just mentioned aiding and financing is part of that, but as i said early there is

no mechanism to force united states or israel, in 1979 the american bomb the harbor nicaragua and international law obviously decided that the american under reagan should rebuild the harbor, so we been waiting 45 years now, nothing happened, you need to have a enforcement to make things happen, not only spending time containing this and condemming that and nothing happened, palestinans after the the the the sorry south african complaint to the court. is still be killed, the war never stopped, hospital is still being bombed, school is being bombed, so it there is no mechanism to stop that, unless the palestinians and the other neighboring resistance intensify their resistance to the zianist entity, and then that will make a big difference, a little move by yemen, you know,

little poor country to make a big different, hizballah keeping the north, area every busy, we need iraq and syria, the only way counting on united states government, it's not going to make any different, and on that note, i think both of you for being with us on the spotlight, harley schanker out of uh germany spokesman for international shiller institute, john phoenix out of london, journalist and international relations expert, thank you, and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight, i'm marza hashimi, hoping to see you right here next. next time, goodbye.

it speaks with me, the saint of the soil, from the blood and the ashes, it speaks with me the sound of the ray from the battle. and the victory victory.

oh palestine, i free you! oh palestine, i free you! oh palestine, i free you! oh palestine, i free you! my every prayer is a cry to my enemy! and i cry out, cry out, cry out to the evil enemy, the flame within my heart will burn you. i cry out and the

thunder in my voice will deafen you, i cry out and the tornado within my soul will rul you away. "my bleeding wound once felt those unforgotten, but the aching sorrow in me never gone, raise it will my anger and love, love of my land, anger at

your deeds." i raise it will my anger and love, love of my land, anger at your dear, wounded by hatred, i'm breathing, breathing, breathing. the magic perfume of my homeland palestine, wounded in love, my hands turn around the branches of the olive tree, seeking peace, seeking peace, but as long as the pillows of our children are drenching blood as long as. you have the thorn crown of

evil force, i'm a flame and thunder and tornado, and i cried out, i cry out, oh my god, i free you, i think you, oh my son, i pray.

the israeli occupation demonstrates its hatridge on houses of the lord. this mask was reduced to rubble by f-16 warget. their way led to the destruction of the houses around the mosk, causing the fall of martters and injuries amongst neighbors of the mosque. "the palestinians did not stand on the romans the mask idly, but they created temporary amors that don't protect them from neither the cold of winter nor the heat of the summer.

you're headlines on press tv, hamas blames israel for the failure to reach a gaza cease fire deal, saying it will not settle for anything less than a full sessation of israeli aggression. palestinian resistance fighters carry out more retal. re operations against israeli forces in gaza, inflicting losses and casualties on them. and the leader of yemen movement says the yemani army will continue its anti-israel operations in support of the palestinians in gaza.
