hello, i'm chris williamson and you're watching palestine declassified, broadcasting twice a week, we're the only tv show that's dedicated to investigating and exposing the israeli regime's global war against solidarity with the illegally occupied people of palestine. in today's show we'll be

covering the growing popularity of cudsday and the frantic efforts of zinist extremists to undermine and sabotage it. record numbers are expected at this year's rallies because the world has been awoken by the unspeakably horrific atrocities being perpetrated by the zinest entity in gaza and the occupied west bank. latifrakra has been looking at the history of kud's day and the extraordinary efforts by the zionist lobby to close it down. quds day is celebrated all. over the world traditionally on the last friday of ramadan. it is a day of international solidarity with the palestinian people named with the arabic word for jerusalem, the capital of palestine. quds day was introduced in 1979 by ayatullah khameini. quds day was a response to jerusalem day in which jewish settlers rampage around the quds, which they called jerusalem, chanting racist slogans including may your village burn. the zionist entity heightened attempts. to suppress quods

day after the gaza massacre between 2008 to 2009. the worldwide revolution against the massacre led to a significant rise in support for the palestinians and worldwide protests. hud stay is marked throughout muslim and arabic countries in over 80 islamic and non-islamic countries in total. in the west, these include the united states of america, canada, australia, germany, spain, the united kingdom, france, and greece. the muslim unity displayed in kudstate is a threat to the zionist entity and its supporters and assets in the west and elsewhere. accordingly, they mobilized to smear and denounce kudsday and to claim that its celebration exhibits extremism and anti-semitism. in the uk, zionist groups have been attempting sabotage the celebration for more than 15 years. in the us, zionist entity assets have gone on the offensive, the anti-deformation league.

denounced the quds day in 2016 as hateful of demonstration of anti-israel and anti-semitic sentiment. in 2022, it ludicrously labeled calls for the dismantling of zionism as genocidal ambitions. in germany bundis amshuts or federal office for the protection of the constitution in english, is the domestic intelligence agency. in 2019, it published a deeply racist report on antisemitism. in islamist extremism, it specifically singled out could stay and denounced a huge range of muslim political groups, as extreme. all were labeled with designist created notion of islamic antisemitism. the report openly states that german intelligence spies on peaceful and legal muslim activists, so long as they're defined as islamist a racist term which effectively covers any muslim active in politics. the temporary zionist entity.

continues its onslaught of ethnic cleansing and murder in gaza and throughout the region. complicit western governments continue to try and repress pro- palestine sentiment. but this year the celebrations of kudstate go ahead in a situation where support for palestine is a historic high as the result of the genocide in gaza. joining me in the studio as usual is our resident expert david miller. david is academic and a former professor at bristol university and is now a senior. research fellow at the center for islam and global affairs at istanbul zaham university. he's also a co-director of the lobby and watch dog spinwatch and is a leading british scholarly critic of israel. of our guest contributor today is nazim ali who joins us via zoom. in his professional life, nazim is a pharmacist, but he's also passionate pro-palestine campaigner, and it was his activism that brought him to the attention of the zionist lobby. these extremists subjected him to seven year long malicious hate filled campaign and pressure the general pharmaceutical count. to strike

him off, thankfully, the despicable ploy to destroy nazim's career and deprive him of his livelihood was rejected. welcome to the show. nazim, what's been your experience of? could stay in the united kingdom, hi chris, hi, thanks for having me, um, it's been very interesting, i went to the first one in 1988, it's a very inclusive protest that occurs every single year, as latifa said in the prequel there, on the last friday of every ramadan, we actually have it mainly a sunday in england because of it's a weekend, um, probably the safest annual rally ever in the history of the... united kingdom uh without doubt, i don't have any arrests, if anything the arrests happened with the counter protesters, it's unique actually, it seems to galvanize the far right, are the bnp etc. and designers to come and protest against us together, so it's one of the only few um

processions um where you'll get the country demonstrators uh having a union jack having a zinis flag, far right stickers all over them coming together so... helps unite um these right really extreme right-wing uh groups uh but over the years absolutely peaceful from our side absolutely yeah well so that's been my experience of it mean and i've attended the the codsday demonstration last year and i can certainly endorse everything you've just said there nazim but david the the zig is they've been trying to suppress the cudsday for for 15 years haven't they they have they don't like it and they don't like it because of course it's a militant uh uh animation and doesn't pull its punches, it says you know this is cool, this is the capital of palestine, it's not the capital of israel, and of course they've been trying uh in the uk, certainly it's the case in nazim's case especially, but also in in the us where the information league have been very active, we've talked about that many times in this

show before, and also in that case in germany, truly extraordinary case there where the the german intelligence services were actually smearing and libeling pro- palestine demonstrators as being somehow uh effectively nazis and uh this is the kind of stuff you get from the the ziners of course we've seen this in many, many occasions and many episodes of the show, this is what they do, they want to stop any possible expression of support for palestinian rights, well nazim, mean how does codsday then differ would you say from from other pro- palestine marches? mean, i think his origin, his origin story, i think is really important, again as a mentioned, it was the... initiated by the late aayaini um and it differs in the sense that it does come from a real political base, it comes from point of no compromise with the oppressor, it comes from very anti-colonial standpoint and it's very strong on that, and it's all about freedom and it's all about

removing the chains of colonialism and oppression, understanding the fact that palestine is the key, so wherever there's a pression going on in the world, wherever there's colonial. still in its various forms existing, if we can unlock the situation of palestine, it will unlock every other puzzle that's going on, that's the uniqueness of of of kuds day, and that's why it's so important, and come rain wind or shine cris in england, it it takes place, doesn't matter if it's because it's in ramadan, it changes 10 days every year, so we have it when it's snowing, we have it when it's hailstones, thunderstorms, we've never cancelled accepting covid, and then we went online, yeah, no, absolutely. david, i believe you're speaking at this year's uh kudsday uh uh demonstration in london aren't you? i mean, that kind of demonstrates doesn't the sort of serious politics of the of the organizers, wouldn't you agree? well, it does. i mean since i've won my case at industrial tribunal, i've not had a single uh invitation to speak cancelled, which is unusual before

before my uh tribunal uh judgment was released, um, most meetings that i was invited to were cancelled or indeed sometimes there were attempts by pro-palestine campaigners to cancel my meetings as well, not just designers, but also uh people from the palestine solidarity campaign, this headquarters have tried to stop me from uh from speaking at that psc branches, but this is an indication really that the organizers of this demonstration are serious that they're serious about their anti-sianism and and about not compromising with sionism, sionism is a form of racism, it's a genocidal ideology, everybody can see that now and we should have nothing to do with sionism, zianism is something which be challenged and we should be moving towards an eradication of sionism as a as racist ideology and not all the pro- palestine movement i'm afraid to say uh would endorse such politics no indeed i'm we talked in this show haven't we about the the need really for designization a process

to basically eradicate this kind of racist ideology from the from the country and indeed from from the world but nazim i mean what what's your assessment of the palestine solidarity movement today i mean david just mentioned there that um you know previously when he's had speaking engagements he's had objections indeed from uh the uh palestine solidarity campaign, i mean what's your thoughts about that? today, yeah, i mean, look, i think we know there's always been a history, especially in the uk of certain organizations, infiltrating other organizations and trying to change the narrative, and as david has just alluded to, it's imperative we stick to the antizionist narrative, um, because there's a lot of blowback format, format, especially when we are being absolutely determined to take conyanism, um, it causes lot of consternation of certain people and a bit of fear ' the blowback and the potential of um consequences, whatever they are that people

and organizations feel, and some organizations don't want and i mean this respectfully if i can, don't want to be tired under the same type of label as other organizations, etc etc. bit of a cop out if you ask me, i don't think there's any space to compromise when it comes to palestine, when it comes to talking about far rights. ideologies like zionism and we've got to be out there and we've got to put it a plate and serve it. well, david, i mean, despite the the 15-year long campaign by the zianis to try and destroy a could stay, i mean the actual demonstrations getting bigger and bigger every single year, and as i've said in the introduction, i think we're expecting record attendances at the the demonstrations this year. what do you think that says? well, it says that the movement for palestine, palestinian. liberation is on the march and that it's rising, it support for is rising across the whole world, including in

countries like western countries where the governments are supporting the zionist on gaza, but the population is becoming more and more radical in support of the palestinians and could say is is kind of cutting edge of that, and we see the the increased consciousness that there is in the country and the increasingly increasing inability of the zin to stop this kind of campaigning, and so so so we have the situation where we're what look at this the other day just in the in the show where the government is trying to step in and to to divide the movement by labeling some parts of the palestine solidarity movement as being extremist now of course this will this is going to fail but that's an indication of the threat that they face they feel that they face from the palestine solidarity movement and uh nazim the uh the attendance at the the could stay demonstrations is is incredibly uh mixed isn't it very diverse attendees a big big jewish contingent for for example i believe is that brief? i mean, that's true, isn't it? absolutely, absolutely, i mean it's a very family friendly um protest, lot of children

come along with their families, with their parents, and we have a large contingent of jewish people, especially rabbies from neutral cartime movement as well as um other jews as well, come, antiziness jews who come to the procession, in fact it's very multi faith and people of north faith attend as well and even from speakers list if you go back historically is a big variety. from the far left to people who are more sort of religious coming from a religious perspective and so on and so forth, so yeah, very, very diverse. no, indeed. well, well, we'll come back in in a moment, to our discussion um, after our next report about the truly astonishing lens that the zionist lobby went to in their efforts to ruin the career of our guest nazim ali. the london pharmacist nazim ali has finally won his long-running legal battle, against zianist regime proxies. it all started in 2017 when nazim ali spoke at

the kudsday rally. zinius complained about his anti-zianiist comments to the police. the crown prosecution service refused to press charges. thesigners took a private prosecution that was eventually stopped by the cps. they took out a judicial review against the cps and lost. in january 2019, ali's professional regulator, the general. pharmaceutical council said there was no case to answer, but gave him a warning for being offensive. the caa then bullied the regulator into reversing its position in july of that year. the council concluded his words were not anti-semitic in november 2020, but the uk lawyers for israel joined the campaign against antisemitism to continue to harass ali. in december 2020, uklfi complained to the body which regulates the regulator, the professional standards authority for health and social care or psa. the intimidation

worked and the psa took the gpc to court, at which point the gpc folded and offered no defense. the high court then sent the case back to the gpc, which made the absurd determination that two of ali's remarks were objectively, if unintentionally antisemitic, however, it gave him a warning as before, the zionists were still not happy and appealed to the court to get ali sacked. in march this year, the court declared that there was no case to answer. this is a... historic and hard fought victory, but who are the zionist groups who have bullied and intimidated the professional regulators into such submission? the campaign against antisemitism took up the cudels first. the caa is a creature of the zinis regime. it was set up to attack the pro-palestine movement with fake anti-semitism allegations. much of its early

funding came from the jewish national fund, the racist land theft group, which is one of the four so-called national institutions in israel. the uk lawyers for israel is a group which appears to have been set up under the auspices of the israeli ministry of foreign affairs. its whole purpose is to use law fair tactics to manipulate the law and bully british institutions into doing its bidding. the case tells us how foreign agents of the zionist regime can harass, bully and intimidate so effectively that they can, in effect, occupy the... professional bodies regulating the profession of pharmacy. this is what state capture looks like. it also tells us that people can fight back and win. in fact, this is one of number of recent victories against the zionist movement. the tide is turning. well, congratulations on your historic win, mean it must have been a

great relief to to finally resolve this, what can only be described as nightmare? yeah, yeah, absolutely, seven years long, and um, you know, every point, every part that we won, they would come back, and the interesting thing is, chris, um, lot of this didn't cost any of these campaigning organizations, the the designist ones any money, apart from the judicial review, if i recollect correctly, um, because they've been pressurizing, the the the powers that be to to take these cases on, in this last one, i think it's important to know that uh, as they lost they had to pay the psa has to pay costs, it had 4300 pound of its own costs and 30,000 of the gpxc's cost to pay, so that's all come from a government fund, and that is taxpayers money, 56,000 just to get me struck off, which they failed to do, which makes no sense when the gphc committee, fitness and

practice committee have been well within the their rights to find a determination that they found um and they found... that a warning was ample enough, so questions need to be asked really, what made the psa take this back to the high court a expense of the taxpayers money? no, indeed, questions certainly do need to be asked, but i mean david, i mean, what do you make of of of nazim's case on? i mean seems absolutely crazy doesn't it, we had to go through what, four different processes, numerous different processes, actually involving seven in fact separate organizations between the zinis, police, the courts and and the regulators mean. what's that tell us about the nature of the zinest lobby? well, it tells you that they uh intend to intimidate, bully and harass any organization that gets in their way, and they intend to be able to occupy those organizations, so that's it's been saying, these were organizations which did it off their own, but the designs didn't even have to lift finger in some some cases, because the organizations took each other to

court and fought like rats in the sack to to to to more effectively implement. designist designist organizations wishes, so what we have is is not just an occupation of these regulatory bodies, the regulator of pharmacists and the regulator of the regulator of pharmacists, not just occupied but effectively captured by the state of israel and and doing the bidding of the state of a state of israel which is currently engaged in a genocide. this is no way to run any kind of democracy and it shows the way in which the hostile foreign power which is israel is able to actually get inside. regulatory bodies and to turn them against the the purposes they're intended to be there for. this kind of unbelievable vindictiveness isn't this? astonishing, it really is, but nazim, mean how was this long and and drawn out battle affected you mean personally and and and of course professionally as well? quite badly, if i'm honest um, you know,

you're not used to seeing your face on the center spread of the jewish cronic call front page being called the preacher of hate um terms. islam is being used and they do it deliberately, so all the way from the right-wing press in the uk to the right-wing press in america and and in israel itself, so if anyone was going to work with me and google my name as which people do these days, all this stuff comes up, so it's all planned, it's all done in a very methodical way, the way they release the news, it first comes in the more zinanis press and then it comes in the mainstream press, two, three weeks later, it follows a set pattern, and of course it affects your mental health, it affects your well-being, it affects your... relationships affects everything and your place at work, just to give you a side thing on that, they're funnily enough for what i work, they they contacted every non-brown named person individual. um back in 2017 saying you work for an antiisemite, how do you feel about it? but they didn't contact anyone with a brown sounding name, which shows uh where they're

coming from really, but yeah it really does take it out of you, but thanks to friends, thanks to supporters, thanks to people like yourselves who've gone through what you guys have gone through, you no that energy helps to stand up and fight the fight which we have to do collectively, well the old maxim unity of strength is absolutely upperside to here. and so important and i know from personal experience how how crucial that is, actually that that kind of solidarity from grassroots supporters, so i can certainly relate to that and i'm pleased that that you felt that that was something that that helped you through what must have been absolutely appalling or deal, but david, i mean, what do you make of the committee's judgment then that um, i mean they said that they they could discern no reasonable or persuasive connection between zianists and grenflell that you know the jewish. chronical headline hented there and uh and this uh the remark must be anti-semitic. well, i mean, first of all, the idea that a committee can decide whether

something is anti-semitic on the basis that they can't see what the connection with the zionist movement is is completely, they need to get out a bit more and to do some more research, but of course what are the connections between greenfall and the zianist? one, that ministers in the government are all siinist, the conservative friends of israel, the members of that organization, but more importantly our conic, which is the company. which provided the cladding, its top shareholder is an organization called uh elliot management, run by guy called paul singer, he's the top donor to the friends of the israel defense forces, one, one connection, two connections, arconic is an organization which which is is a construction company which also is engaged in constructing f-35 fighters which are being sent to israel to bomb palestinian children, two connections, it's not my fault, it's not it's not anybody else's fault that they can't perceive this, but there is a connection between grenfall and the zionis. can we can point this out with many, many other examples, so and and we should be we should not be be scared of saying that, it's not anti-semitic to say it, there are connections between the zionists and all sorts of appalling things which going on in the uk,

including grenfall, what think about the zionists, they never let the facts get in the way of a good old fashion smear, do they? well, that's right, mean as everyone has now been saying, they lie and they lie and they lie, and that's that's the way, yeah indeed, well nazim, as as far as i'm aware, there's been absolutely no media coverage of your... historic win, mean, why is that do you think? well, it's almost they've got custard pie in their face, haven't they? seven years, seven years of chasing me, left, right and center, going through the courts, the various bodies, seven different organizations you mentioned, they've got nothing to show for it at the end, apart from what was determined back in you, 2020, a warning, um, so it's been um, like i said, waste of taxpayers money, waste of time, and it's shown how vindictive they've been. towards me uh, like i said, you know, financially it's been a big burden on me, emotionally, health-wise it has been as well, um, and it just shows the nastiness of

them, of designist movement, how vindictive, nasty, and pretty much evil they are, that um, they just used everything they could that actually didn't affect them financially, as david made a great point there, they got people to inter fight on their behalf, which is amazing, but who wants to admit failure? um and that's what they would have to do, admit failure because they were all go about, yeah we're going to get him struck off, we're going to get him struck off, yeah, yeah, no indeed, i mean uh, well, as i say, i mean, you're through it now, thank goodness, and uh, you know, you've prevailed, and um, and thankfully, as we were saying, you got that grassroots, support and solidarity to to help you through, what must have been a terrible or deal, and you've won, and i think everybody will be all right thinking people anyway, will be absolutely. united that that you have got through it and you've got through it, relatively on the skate not withstanding what you've already said, but uh, you're here and you stand victorious, so congratulations again on that, nazim, but

unfortunately that's all we got time for today, so thanks for watching and and thank you to our guest nazim ali, and of course our residence expert professor david miller, remember you can follow the show on facebook, twitter and telegram where we post regular clips and updates, you can also help us to counteract the disinformation pedaled by the corporate media about palestine and... the resistance to design is entity by showing today's program on your social media platforms, so until next time when palestine declassified will be back with more forensic investigations and analysis, this is chris williamson, saying bye for now. ramadan in iran where ancient traditions blend with modern celebrations to create a
