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 know, and that energy helps. welcome back to the news here on press tv. israel's campaign in the gaza strip has been among the deadliest and most destructive campaigns. besides thousands of human losses, the everates have also damaged or totally destroyed all types of structures, including homes, mosks, schools, and medical centers. we have taken a closer look at the issue in our explainer program. the us is really onslot on the

gaza's trip is one of the most destructive genocidal air campaigns ever, raising entire neighborhoods to the ground, killing tens of thousands and causing damage that could take decades to repair. well, the structural devastation is almost as shocking as the loss of lives itself, drawing reactions from many world leaders, like this one from the eu foreign policy chief joseph bararal. 'who said this destruction is one of the most intense in history, comparable, if not higher, to levels of destruction of german cities during the second world war. the source of the damage is due to the us bombs that have been dropped in the gaza strip. in total, 70,00 tons of these explosives have been dropped in the gaza strip. this number is surely to rise since the israeli regime will be receiving new batch of us 502000 pound box. well the destruction of buildings damaged or destroyed is mapped out here in

this map, the largest destruction has occurred in northern gaza, 81% of the total buildings there, terms of the number 37,100, the grand total amounts to 177, it's kind of hard to see here, but that accounts for 61.1% the total buildings in the gaza strip, this is what has been fact checked. other figures are much higher than this. now when it comes to the types of buildings, damaged or destroyed, that's very important. these figures show that some of the notable ones, the press headquarters at 165 schools including universities coming in at 405, and then you have mosks 227, and here's the one that hurts the most, 244 medical facilities and hospitals. keep in mind that these are the ones that... have been completely destroyed, then comes the infrastructure destruction, 250 kilometers of roads, that's

78% of the total roads, 130 wells, 56.2%, and 130 kilometers of water networks, 84%, and then the soul gaza, power plants, the only power plant in the gaza strip out of service, especially due to lack of fuel, this is why gazans are fighting for their lives, actually, well israel is also after erasing palestine's heritage in the gaza. strep: some the examples of that that we picked monasteries, mosks, churches, palaces, archaeological hills and historic houses, you can see the figures there, the one that stands out here was the historic houses, as matter of fact, this one here, the great ari mosk, it's built in the 12th century and one the most important and largest historical mosks in palestine, gone, naturally some are asking, what is israel after? well, this is what many media organizations have said, quote, israel wants to make the gaza strip unfit for human habitation in the hopes that

there will be large scale immigration for the ethnic cleansing of gaza's palestinian population. this is what many organizations believe is israels intense. an iraki anti-terror group says that it is ready to send military supplies to fellow resistance fighters in jordan to help defend palestinians against israely crimes. hisballah says it is prepared supplies for over 12,00 fighters. it said the provisions include light weapons, anti-armor launchers, tactical missiles, ammunition and explosives. the resistance group said it seeks to form a united front against israel. gtab hezballah also voiced readiness to block the land routes leading to israely occupied territories if it receives the go ahead from palestinian resistance movements. khatballah has carried out multiple military operations against israel and the us since the beginning. the onslot on gaza. in january, at least three us forces were killed in one such

attack a military base in jordan. meanwile, the islamic resistance in iraq says it is carried out fresh attacks on israeli positions response to the regime's ongoing genocide in gaza. the umbrella resistance group said its fighters used drones to target the tel-nuf airbase in central israeli occupied territories. the group said the attack we have. terms its determination to continue striking israeli strongholds, added that the operations are in response to the israeli massacre of palestinian civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. recent months, islamic resistance in iraq has carried out series of attacks against israeli positions. it has also hit us military bases in iraq and neighboring syria, retaliation for washington's complicity in the israeli genocide in gaza. housing prices across the west have gotten so high that many people have given up on the idea of ever owning

their home. well in europe protests are being held to demand more government intervention on the issue of building more affordable. has more from paris in a statistic which may amaze and anger those in their 20s and 30s, in 1973 the average french person dedicated just 10% of their income to housing, in places like lisbon, that figure is now 63% as the housing situation across europe is being called the worst it has been in 70 years with winter prohibition. on evictions ending with the arrival of spring, protests are being held across europe against the lack of affordable housing. houses are made for living in and not for financial speculation. this is a fundamental truth which has been forgotten by successive french governments. they have turned their back on the many victims of our long-running housing crisis and across europe it's the same. what's worse

is that they'll have many people evicted by landlords looking to cash out tourist money for the summer olympic. one out of four french people suffer from serious housing problem, so it's no surprise that better housing has been a top issue for voters in election after election. there's a real lack of decent, new and safe housing in france and europe, as much of our stock dates from after world war ii, the laws requiring that 20% of lodgings be made available to lower income citizens is not inforce, and we just don't see that the government cares. the incredible difficulty of finding affordable housing here in france. in paris, housing prices are up back breaking 70% since 2009, the start of the great financial crisis and the failed response of far right economic austerity. the hiking of interest rates in 2022 caused some housing markets in europe to decline

slightly, but others continued to rise. that also caused building cost to sore, reducing. private construction housing groups insist that lodging issues could be fixed nationwide in just 5 to 10 years if the government's laws favored renters and regular citizens instead of land owners and real estate speculators. the primary culporate seems to lie in the refusal of right-wing economics to allow governments to invest tax revenue in building more affordable real estate and also in the vast selloffs to private.

bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

israel is one of the worst things that has happened or zionism is one of the worst things that has happened to the jewish people. the my experience it really really wasn't until the 80s that i was able to open my heart enough. to see truly what israel and zionism had done and was doing and continued to do. i did not grow up as an anti-zionist, which is what i am today. i grew up as a zionist in a very zionist family that identified judaism with zionism.
