is a terror state the terrorists that terrorize i'll testify my television televise i'm telling lies how many more resolutions have to be violated how many more children have to be annihilated this is not a war it is systematic genocide but whatever they try palestine will never diestany hello i'm

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 zionist 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 zinust entity in gaza and the occupied west bank. latif abochakra has been looking at the history of kud's day and the extraordinary efforts by the zianist 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 komeini. 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 quds day after the ghaza massacre between 2008 to 2009. the worldwide revoltion against the massacre led to a significant rise in support for the palestinians and worldwide protests. good stay is marked throughout muslim and arabic countries. 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 quod's day is a threat to the zionist entity and its supporters and assets in the west and elsewhere. accordingly, they mobilized to smear and denounce 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 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. 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 anti-semitism in islamist extremism. it specifically singled out could stay and denounced a huge range of muslim political groups as extreme. all were labeled with designers created notion of islamic anti-semitism. the report openly states that german intelligence. spise on peaceful and

legal muslim activists, so long as they're defined as islamist, racist term which effectively covers any muslim active in politics. the temporary zionist entity continues its onslaught of ethnic cleansing and murder in ghazah and throughout the region. complicit western governments continue to try and repress pro-palestine sentiment, but this year the celebrations of kuds day 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 he's now a senior research fellow at the center of islam and global affairs at istanbul zam university. he's also a co-director of the lobby watch dog spinwatch and he's a leading british scholarly critic of israel. our guest contributor today is nazim ali who joins us via zoom. in his professional life nazim is a pharmacist but he's all 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 hatefield campaign and pressure eye the general farm. citical council 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, uh, what's been your experience of cudsday 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 uh, prequel there um on the last ride 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 in history of the united kingdom uh without doubt um i don't have any arrests if anything

the arres happened with the counter protesters it's unique actually it seems to galvanize the far right r the bnp etc and designers to come on 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 it's helped 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 could stay demonstration last year and concertainly endorse everything you've just said there dizim, but david, the the zinanists 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 militantuh demonstration and it 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 deformation league have been very... we've talked about that many times in this show before, and also in that case in germany, a truly extraordinary case there where the the german intelligence services were actually smearing and libeling pro palestine demonstrators as being somehow effectively nazis and this is the kind of stuff you get from the designers 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, i mean how does uh day then differ would you say from from other pro- palestine marches? mean i think it's origin, is origin story, i think is really important, again as a mentioned, it was initiated by the late aitumaini, 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 colonialism 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 coursday, 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 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, well david, i believe you're speaking at this year's could stay 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. um to speak cancelled uh, 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 psc branches, but this is an indication really that the organizers of this demonstration are serious that 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 sainism, sionism is something which should be challenged and we should be moving towards an eradication of syanism as a as racist

ideology, and not all of the pro-palestin movement, i'm afraid to say uh would indors such politics, no we do and 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 no, 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 just alluded to, it's imperative we stick to the anti-zionist narrative. um because there's a lot of blowback format format, especially when we are being absolutely determined to

take on zinanism, it causes a lot of constination of certain people and a bit of fear of the blowback and the potential of um consequences, whatever they are that people and organizations feel, and some organizations don't want and a mean this respectfully if i can, don't want to be tired under the same type of label. those other organizations etc etc. bit of a cop out if you ask me, but um, i don't think there's any space to compromise when it comes to palestine, when it comes to talking about far right 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 zinis to try and destroy a could stay, i mean the demonstration is getting bigger and... every single year and as i've said in the introduction, i think we're expecting record attendances at the uh 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's support for it 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 uh we see the the increased consciousness that there is in the country and the increasingly increasing inability of design to stop this kind of campaigning and so so so we have the situation where we look at this the other day just in 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 that they feel that they face from the palestine solidarity movement. and uh nazim, the uh the attendance at the the kudsday demonstrations is is

incredibly uh mixed isn't it, very diverse attends, a big big jewish contingent for for example, i believe is that briefly, 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 the jewish people, especially rabbies from neutral cartime movement as well as um other jews as well become antisignist jews who come to the procession, in fact it's very multi faith and people of no 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 zionist regime proxies. it all started in 2017 when nazim ali spoke at the kudsday rally. zianers complained about his anti-zianist comments to the police. the crown prosecution service refused to press charges. the signers 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. gave him a warning as before, the zionis 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 zine. 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 lawfair tactics to manipulate the law. and bully british institutions into doing its bidding. the case tells us how foreign agents of the zinist 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 uh nazim, i mean it, it was 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 design. ones any money apart from the judicial review if i recollect correctly because they've been pressurizing the powers that be to to take these cases on. in this last one i think it's important to know that as they lost they had to pay the psa has to pay costs. it had 4300 pound of its own costs and 13 thousand of the gphc's cost to pay so

that's what come from a government fund and that is taxpayers money £56 pound 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, and they found me that a warning was ample enough, so questions need to be asked really, what made the psa take this back to the high court at 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, absolutely crazy doesn't he that we had to go through what four different uh processes, numerous different processes actually involving seven in fact separate organizations between the zionist, police, the courts and and the regulators, mean what what's that tell us about the nature of of the zionist 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 as that's it's been saying, these were organizations which did off their own but the the zints 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 more effectively implement the zionist uh the zionist organizations uh 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 formal assists not just occupied but effectively captured by the state of israel and and doing. 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 it shows the way which the hostile foreign power which is israel is able to actually get inside regulatory bodies and to turn them against the purposes the intended to be therefore. it's kind of unbelievable vindictiveness isn't this astonishing it really is, but 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 chronicle front page, being called a preacher of hate, terms like 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 zinus 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 wellbe. affects your relationships, it 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 uh non-brown named

person individual um back in 2017 saying you work for an anti-semite, 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 supports, thanks to people, like yourselves, we've gone through what you guys have gone through, you know, and that energy helps to stand up and fight the fight, which we have to do collectively. well, the old maximum unity of strength is absolutely apersight here and is so important, and i know from personal experience how how crucial that is, actually that that kind of solidarity from you, grassroots supporters, so i can certainly relate to that and i'm pleased that that you felt that that was something that that the helped you through, what must have been absolutely... appling ordeal, but david, i mean, what do you make of the committee's judgment then, that um, i mean they said that they they could disser no reasonable or persuasive connection between zianists and

grenful, that you know the jewish chronicle headline highlited there, and and this 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 zinist movement is, it's 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 sign? one, that ministers in the government are all siinist, the conservative friends of israel, the members of that organization, but more importantly, ourconick, which is the company which provided the cladding, it's top shareholder is an organization called uh elliot management run by guy called paul singer, he's the top doner 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 f35 fighters which have been 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 greenful and the zionis and we 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 zionis and all sorts of apolin things which going on in the uk, including grenfall think about the zinis, they never let the facts. in the way of a good old fashion smear, do they? well, that's right, i 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. i mean, why is that do you think? well, it's almost they've got custod pie in their face, haven't they? seven years, seven years of chasing me, left, right and center, going through the coast, 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 know 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 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 you know amazing, but who wants to admit failure - and that's what they would have to do, admit failure, because they were all going 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, well, as i say, i mean, you're through it now, thank goodness, and uh, 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 be the terrible ordeal and you've won, and i think everybody will be

all right thinking people anyway will be absolutely delighted that that you have got through it and you've got through it you know relatively on the skate not withstanding what you've already said but uh you're here and you stand victorious so you know 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. 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 of the designist 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.
