12:36 pm
let's discuss this a little further with our guest joining us uh for this. we have uh with us uh dr. fuad isadi. uh, he is uh professor at the university of tehran. also joining us uh is uh, isha krishna swami podcaster and a journalist. welcome to you both of what is for start with you. we're looking at this uh terrorist act that you want has called to have occurred and obviously it has broken international uh rules regarding uh targeting an embassy by the israely regime in this case uh but what are the further i guess ways of interpreting? this when it comes to the way that israel um the israel regime has reacted which is unprecedented in terms of targeting not only the consult but also the fact that it belongs to the islamic republic of iran. obviously the genocidal regime in palestine
12:37 pm
is try is trying to widen the war, they want to have united states and iran enter into a military. confrontation, they have failed miserably in their genocidal policies and practices in ghaza, they have only managed to kill women and children, destroy houses, they have achieved none of their goals, their goals are not achievable to to be honest with you, and in order to... put the attention on something else, they engage in this type of terrorist activities, and they're not going to be successful in this venture either, they're just showing the fact that they're
12:38 pm
criminals, they engage in war crimes, they engage in genocide, they engage in, you know, you don't use an airplane to attack a consulat in a foreign country. so overall what we see is the true nature of the genocidal regime, and the more they engage in this type of activities, they the more they show their true face, but iran is doing is following international law, the the iranian government is has asked for emergency meeting the un security council, un security council has opportunity to address this issue seriously. doubted given the fact that another criminal regime, the the united states is has veto power in the security council and the airplane that was used was an american airplane, the missiles that were
12:39 pm
used were american missiles, the money that was used was american money, and americans are as much responsible for this criminal act as israelies are and... so iran will follow international law and also iran will engage in activities to make sure this type of behavior is not repeated and so what netanyahu is doing is trying to save his job, but i think he is making the end of israel closer than what we think. all right, so there's a lot of issues here that we need to break open, one of them is the fact. that uh, it's it's said that the us does not want to engage in a war with uh uh with iran um and that israel is doing what it can with this in terms of a provocation to get uh iran not only engaged militarily but but to pull in the us, how can they even think of that when they can't even be successful in the
12:40 pm
genocidal war in the gaza strip, which is obviously not even close to the strength that iran has. i think it it is just because of that um... they need more and more partners to be drawn into this war, and an interesting thing is about 25 years ago this week, the us started bombing belgrade, serbia, and they too um... the chinese embassy, so i think of the president was set in that act, i just was thinking about that, and yeah, they israel needs more partners in order to that can reign overwhelming fire power, so it seems like they're using the same strategy that many of the moderate rebels used in syria when they faked chemical attacks and it was the strategy to draw the western on some kind of fake human rights violation. but with iran they're hoping that iran reacts in a more
12:41 pm
militaristic way and then um there are many forces in, there are many people or many people in power who do want a war with iran, just not the biden administration right now, so there is a bit of an internal conflict in the us with those who want to focus on china and those who want to strengthen the us occupation basis in the middle east, and lot them have a really intense and strong relationship with the netanyahu regime and they also form the biggest zionist lobby like and and majority of them are christian extremists um so the biggest zionist lobby is christians for zianism and so there are forces that if given enough provocation will be able to win the internal battle within the united states and i think that's what israel is hoping for, well when you take a... look at what drove israel to perhaps commit this act, is it correct to look at the way that
12:42 pm
israel is fighting on - few different fronts, for example, obviously they're executing that genocidal war, so they're fighting against the uh resistance fighters within the gaza strip, you also have for example the resistance group, the umbrella group, the islamic resistance of iraq that is targeting israeli targets, you have yemen, you have hezbollah in southern lebanon um another resistance group. "and therefore the support that iran has given these groups and for these groups to rise is maybe a reason for israel to feel like it had to target the islamic republic? you know, in this part of the world we have number of organizations that they formed the access of resistance, what are they resisting? the are resisting us hegemmany, they're resisting israeli occupation in. case of yemen, they are, they have successfully resisted and attack by
12:43 pm
neighboring country, in syria they have fought isis, in iraq they have fought isis, which nowadays basically implements what the united states and israel want, and they're quite powerful, and you know the general that was ' assassinated in in yesterday's terrorist attack was a high ranking general, but iran has lot of high ranking generals, so they this person will be replaced, the access of resistance will continue to live and continue to get the stronger. israelis have been trying to stop the rise of this movement, they have been trying to, they have been fighting the movement. this resistance for decades and based on their own admissions, they have failed and americans
12:44 pm
have failed, and when you have a genocidal camp in this part of the world, the only way to have peace is to get rid of them, and that is the goal of the access of resistance, to get rid of people. that engage in genocide and that could includes americans, we have a genocidal government in the white house as we speak, so making sure that there is no israel, and making sure that the united states is not in west asia, is the goal of the access of resistance, and sooner or later they will achieve that goal, and in that process, yes, there will be people who will... be killed by terrorist activities and fighting terrorism is is one of the goals of
12:45 pm
this this resistance, so it is only natural that terrorists in this part of the world are upset and they engage in more terrorism, but if you look at the last 40 years since this movement has started, they only have gotten a stronger and that movement, that process will continue. to be true as we go forward and finally quickly when you take a look at the possibility of this escalating into a war - it don't think that it's going to be very hard for the world to understand why there would be one when the resistance groups along with iran and many other countries as matter of fact have come out in solidarity uh for the palestinian cause for the genocide that the israeli regime along with the us is committing inside the gaza strip so uh the deduction is they want that to continue which is why israel is acting in the way that it is
12:46 pm
and has attack the islamic republic's uh consuler or consulate there in uh damascus and therefore we need to have a i mean that's going to be awfully hard to convince the world of, i mean we don't right now we don't need to have a war, but their idea is to draw bigger partners and if the bigger partners decide like us and nato etc. if the bigger partners decide to attack then um other partners like iran, china, russia have no choice, and yeah convince, so i guess i think it's not going to be a war that is started by the access of... assistance, but a word that they will react to, and so that that is my guess. um, right now, um, the world is definitely wants to see an end to the us hijemany, which has led to constant war for the past 70 years, and and the u.s. germany is in its weakest position in a long time, and that's why the partners that are all
12:47 pm
allied with the us, like israel, are acting more and more. and more and more um recklessly. all right, thank you for that. krishna swami, the podcast and journalist, we appreciate your comments and dr. the professor at the university of techron. thank you to you both. with that we come to an end for this news review. palestinians in the west bank have been enduring intensified raids by israel since the onset of the regime's war in gaza. israeli occupation forces have carried out fresh raids towns, villages and refugee camps across occupied territories. the regime has stormed homes, made multiple arrests and has wounded a number of palestinians during these raids. a correspondent deal joined us earlier

12:52 pm
really onslot on the gaza strip 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, 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 u.s. 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 50 and 2 pound bombs. well
12:53 pm
the destruction of buildings damaged or destroyed is mapped out here in this map. the largest destruction has occurred in uh northern gaza, 81% of the total buildings there. terms of the number 37,100, the grand total amounts to 177, and it's kind of hard to see here, but that accounts for 61.1% of 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 220. 7 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,
12:54 pm
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 gazins are fighting for their lives, actually. well, israel is also after erasing palestine's heritage in the gaza strip. some the examples of that that we picked, monasteries, mosks, churches, palaces, archaeological hills and historic uh 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 amari mosque, it's built in the 12th century and one of 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
12:55 pm
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 israel's intent. and with that we come to an end for this additional world news. thanks for being with us. this bye-bye for now, how designists come from across the world to palestine to occupy a land belonging to another? how do they form their secret army, hagana? how do they grab lands belonging to
12:56 pm
palestinians? how did they build and expand their illegal settlements? israel's former prime minister goldomir answers these and more questions in this documentary. landmines and explosive remnants of war are the terrifying.
