the voice of the voiceless. press tv. welcome back to gaza under attack where we focus on the ongoing us enabled israeli genocidal war on gaza and its brutal violence against palestinians in the occupied west bank. before we go to our panel, look at some of the latest developments. the unrelenting us-israeli bombardment continues across the gaza strip. in kanus in the south of the territory israeli occupation. troops have

targeted socal safe zone, killing at least seven palestinians. in the occupied west bank, series of raids by israeli forces, killing a 17-year-old palestinian boy and shooting a child in the back. elsewhere in the west bank, israeli settlers have set fire to palestinian property. the us, the country that supplies israel with weapons, funding and diplomatic support, has sanctioned a far right israeli group and four illegal outposts. us and british aircraft have struck hudata international. airport in yemen three times. yemen is demanding that israel end its genocidal war on gaza. reports of microsoft closing the email accounts of palestinians living abroad, cutting off their access to online services used to contact relatives in gaza. a dutch court has rejected demand by rights groups to order the netherlands to block all exports of f-35 fighter jet parts which might end up in israel. in less than 10 months israel has killed more than 38,00 people and wounded more than 88 thousand. the

gaza strip. a recent report by the lanced medical journal estimates palestinian death doll at 186,00. okay, let's get the thoughts of my guests on those stories. in the studio is political analyst said mussan abbas and joining us via zoom from london is markworth. mark is an avowed anti-racist campaigner, journalist and author. gentlemen, thank you for joining the show. let me start with you, mosen, we're going to get to the dithering by the american. president uh in a little bit, but the devastation is ongoing, as i read there earlier, and so is the palestinians were getting killed a daily basis uh, where are we now in terms of the genocide in the gaza strip and the violence in the west bank of course? i think the biggest revelation is that 186 thousand people are likely to have died, you see of course the bombings have definitely taken out the 8,00 or so plus the 83,00 that we knew were injured, but this figure of 8 8 '600 dying is shocking in the

extreme uh, it's not getting lot of courage in mainstream western media for obvious reasons because israel is dam, israel wants to damp down that reality, you're even doubting and and disputing the figures of 38, that palestinians to much less the 186, by the lancer, well it's it's indictment of what their policy has been, because it is of course from the results, you see the trauma, the the starvation, the the the famine that's been induced, the disease that's been spread across, this is accelerating the death of ordinary palestinians and of course when you suddenly see figure which says around 9 to 10% of palestinian population in gaza has essentially been wiped out that it is a genocide, by default you can you can uh grade it such because it's very it seems uh very strange that the anglo-western empire can't even now work out what the figure is which actually says this is a genocide conveniently whereas they were very the they find it easy to say you talk about ukraine or other areas

where they are implementing uh wars of other kinds, exactly. and mark, we're hearing reports of tech giants uh, such as microsoft cutting the services and accounts to thousands inside gaza, people complaining that their online accounts have been wiped out merely for using skype to uh get in touch with family members or relatives in the gaza strip and vice versa. talk about how tech companies um... are using their leverage to the disadvantage of palestinians in this case, we can see that the tech companies are overwhelmingly us, microsoft, um, twitter, which is now x, most of the social media of platforms that we use are centered in the united states and the tech companies have been weaponized by the us, we seen accounts being closed down you mentioned of any

dissident voices against the genocide in gaza, and this is something we've got to stand up to, and that's why people are increasingly going to uh tic tock. um, which is chinese owned to telegram, which is russian owned, and so they can do this at their peril, people will find other ways of communicating with each other and getting the truth out there in the global world, in the internet exactly, and you're looking at netanyahu traveling to the us to address the... you have as you heard earlier the americans sanctioning a couple of out settler outposts at the same time speaking of an opportunity for a cease fire now, although we were told in may it was an israeli plan that the us backed it up that israel had accepted

it, we're yet to see that what is happening in terms of the us role in what we've been seeing for the best 9 months, well just answer to that last question first,200 have ' to google, amazon, to microsoft, they have over 99 named individuals who are x spies for unit 8200 who are basically placed in high level position, for instance was one who was is on the insights team in in facebook, i believe or google, sorry, so that that american reference that has been made to them controlling most of these companies actually has to be supplemented with the reality that there's a huge inf. ation of israeli operatives and spies basically manage and control most of the major if you like tech companies that we use all the time, so this has a big bearing on on how things pan out. as far as where america stands in terms of palestine, there is this kind of f sympathy

that they try to sort of put across and they they try to play the card, it's an extreme government in in israel, blame it all on yahu and extremists are doing it, but we're trying our best to stop all this, which is absolute rubbish, the fact of the matter is that they are still supplying hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs and weapons, the fact is that they've done nothing in this ceasefire agreement to push the israelis into a position where they have to accept the ceasefire, and even though hamas have given all concessions that they possibly can and have been very positive about trying to get that seasfare done, it's the israelis and the americans really aren't actually interested, well well perhaps we can cover that in more detail later on, but to hold to that thought for now, because this week the us president joe biden faced the solar news conference with questions from the white house press core. the news conference was meant to reassure a disheartened group of democratic lawmakers, allies and pursuable voters in this year's election that byden still has the strength and stamina to be president. so far,

his disastrous public showings have undermined his campaign. one of the areas of concern was his handling of the gaza crisis. biden acknowledged disappointments, missteps and frustration. with israel's heart right government pointed increase hopes now of seaspire to end the bombardment of the palestinians. let's listen it. third, for months, united states has been working to secure a cease fire in gaza, to bring the hostages home, to create path for peace and stability in the least. six weeks ago, i laid out detailed plan in writing was endorsed by the un security. the g7, that framework is now agreed on by both israel and hamas, so i sent my team to the region to hammer out the details, these are difficult, complex issues, there's still gaps to close, we're making progress, the trend is positive, and i'm

determined to get this deal done and bring an end to this war which should end now, i know israel well, and i support israel, but this war cabinet is one of the most conservative war cabinets. the history of of israel and there's no ultimate answer of the state solution here and mark, just to pick up on what moson said earlier that israel and the us are not very different really in this in this regard, are we supposed to trust really the handling of one of volatile situations in the region to a man who is unsure whether he is talking zelensky or putin? it's extraordinary is i watch that where he inter used the ukrainian president vladimir zelensky as president putin and then his vice president camela harris as vice president trump. i mean this is clearly a man that has lost his marbles, hasn't got a grip on his mental capacity and shouldn't be running at

the age of 81 for president of the united states, which would mean that he would be what sort of 85 84 by the end of his term. not fit for purpose and it terrifies me that he is said to be the leader of the free world because we live in a unipolar world where the american industrial military industrial complex uh rules us, so no, i don't believe word that he says uh on the uh proposal he's put forward to uh end the conflict and and get sease fire, there must be a permanent cease fire and immediate withdrawal of the israeli occupies uh genocidal military uh from gaza, that is yet to happen and was saying. as i mentioned earlier uh about that seasfire deal, they said in may that they

haduh deal ready that the israel it was an israeli um deal and that the american supported it really the un as well and that the problem was only hamas and as we know that is not the case, but in terms of bidon being at helm in the us, if he were to be beat by donald trump in the november elections, what would that mean for the uh genocide in gaza? "i not a lot will change, trump is equally invested in uh the israeli occupation, in fact some would argue more so, and his support would be even more uh, if you like, practical, and on the ground, i don't think anything would change. i think they're all quite happy with this idea that israel does this kind of ethnic cleansing genocide under the guise of finishing of hamas and after 10 months they can't give us any evidence to suggest that they've got any closer to finishing hamas in any way she perform, they haven't got the hostages back." "they've not really even guaranteed that gaza won't be a problem for them in the future, in fact they've guaranteed that it'll be even a

bigger problem because you now ignited an entire generation which will literally will hate america, it will hate uh israel and the occupation even more and will be even more committed to the axis of resistance and and a military solution uh to to israel, so i don't see any changes, donald trump has got the same kind of backers, he's got the same israel lobby groups satisfy, and therefore america still regards israel rather delusion." originally as its kind of warship in the middle east and it wants to use israel as its kind of anchor there to cause the usual plunder and and pillaging that they they they're doing they commit that's that's the american interest that is the deep state interest and whether trump and the other thing about trump and biden and their performances you see this theater that we see played out uh which deludes the americans into thinking they've got a democracy uh is actually quite good that it's falling apart at the seems when you have two two fools like this but basically going at it, because now even the american public recognizes that something's not quite right here, and the

reality is what is not right is america is an oligarchy, and it's underwritten by a bunch of banksters who basically dictate most of the policy, and that policy is towards an immoral economic plunder, it's not about human rights or democracy, all the other nonsense, exactly, so so maybe it's a wake up cool with american citizens, they need to wake up to understand that their whole so-called democracy has been hijacked long ago. all right, let's talk about politics here in in the uk. the workers party of britain, standing mainly on the pro-palestine uh mandate during the recent general elections in the uk, failed to return an mp to parliament despite feeling 150 candidates across the country. we asked one former parliamentary candidate to wace rajput based in leads england, why that was the case? without proportional representation, it is very difficult for a small party to break through the pendoleum. fact that favors the two largest parties, core corporate interest

in the uk ensure that the two large parties are brought and paid for by the rich and powerful, their key policies are almost identical so that the interest of the uk establishment are safe whichever of form, whichever of them form the... government, this and the dominance of the mainstream media means that small parties face huge barrier getting their message cross to the voters. the workers party came very close to winning in a number of working class seats where a few hundreds voters could have brought sacus. the workers parties candidates will certainly contest again. more than 4000 people in leads voter voted to support workers party candidates in the general

election on 4th of july, we have an important and realistic policy platform which we believe addresses the urgent political needs the uk. our manifesto remains as relevant today as it was last week. our task now is to build a grassroots, democratic socialist alternative to the labour party that has taken our votes for guranted for years. this means that we will face a future election with the membership base that is stable and secure. and with the party infrastructure that will have grown to meet future challenges. we will be inviting all of our supporters to join us as members. this will give the party roots in the community and stable funding for our future work. key world

health organization figures east jerusalems, west bank and gaza to meet with health officials, health partners, donors, who staff, and health workers and patients to review the health situation firsthand, discussed the challenges there and find ways to strengthen coordination for the health response at the israel bombardment. let's hear from dr. hannan balki, regional director for the eastern mediterranean on her trip to a damaged hospital in gaza. is been one of the visits that has been a crucial eye opener on the devastation effect on the people, the complexities of the injuries that we're. seeing here right behind me, i have neonatal level 2 care area. before that, i was at orthopedic unit where uh there was a very complex external fixation of a traumatized, complex fractures of the lower limbs of a middle aged man. i really hope that the situation becomes calmer soon and that peace prevails soon and we can start taking care of

our patients in the most dignified and proper way for the betterment of themselves, their family and the community. the people, thank you. all right, i'm going to go to mark for this one, and and mark, you were formerly with the labor party and monitored the rise of smaller party and independence, do you think that uh, the deck is stacked against the parliamentary entry? yes of course, it's shocking that we heard from the workers party of great britain just now, getting a quarter of million votes and not getting a single mp elected, even george galloway who had won in rochetel in the by-election earlier in the year, didn't retain his seat, yet he got as many votes almost as he won in the by-election, but you know the labour party machine, because we have this uh duopoly of the labour party and conservatives with this crooked first past the post system uh

actually uh defeated him, can i tell you that the welsh nationalists? and the shin fain irish nationalists got less votes workers party and yet they respectively uh got seven mps elected and four mps elected so you can see how completely distorted and broken the british so-called democratic system is we desperately need proportional representation look what happened in france with the popular front of melechon who ' had previously had 71 seats in the french uh parliament, the national assembly and doubled that to more than 180, and that's because they have pr, that's what we need, they're now the largest party in the french parliament defeating the fascist um party of lepen, yeah, and so you

could see that there's going to be a big move now from - farage's unfortunately. far right party because they only got four seats uh on um what was it four million votes yeah um totally distorted that they only got four seats and so the push is going to come from both the right and the liberals like you know sort of um the liberal democrat who got 72 seats the greens who got four seats who desperately need proportional representation in order for them to get fair distribution of... of parliament and can i put this on the record quick it's actually party conference policy to support proportional representation and yet the leader undemocratically kier starmer has set his face against it because he wants to continue to benefit from this crooked corrupt system and i think it was the reform who came second in like 90 constituencies mosen um mark mentioned

himself your thoughts on him as prime minister are labor government? uh we saw him go to the nato meeting talking of britain's place in the alliance as one of the founding members and trading out the usual anti-iran and pro nato ritoric, he was asked about the muslim vote, he didn't seem to be too bothered after he had won that landslide victory by the fact that lot of the people in the larger muslim communities didn't vote for him, well on this occasion it probably didn't affect him uh that much, although the definitely margins were much shorter in many many constituencies had there been a bit more uh organization and unity, the six independents who came to power largely in labor constituencies uh would have been about 10, maybe even slightly more, that's quite significant, i think also that the time period that was... given for the election made it uh impossible for new party or for the smaller parties or independence to really organize quickly enough and to get their message across and to that the fact that our

media is controlled by about six billionaires barkley brothers and rupert murdock included who all put their weight behind labor essential this time and the fact that's usually the case if they have candidate or a party's back they're definitely going to win and that this is all why you know you could be forgiven for feeling that actually there is a bit of kind of informal rigging going on, because again it all seemed like everything, even sunx's kind of decision making seemed to all favor labor, and it's also said that had the election taken place few weeks later, it would have not been quite so comfortable for labor in those marginals, fastining out of time, made a comparison between trump and biden as president in the states as far as the genocide in gaza or the palestinian rights, what will it mean here in the uk with labor governmenting power? this is a man, the prime minister now said, israel reserved the right to cut off food and water and supplies to palestinians in the early days of the genocide. starmer is basically a product of neoliberalism, there is no difference between old thory and kier

starmer's labor party, essentially labor has shifted to center right, perhaps even for the right than we realize and i think that's going to continue reform is going to force the tory to go even for right and it'll make the labor go even so what i see in the future is really a shift towards right rightest policies and i think kier starmer in terms of his attitude towards. and towards humanitarism and towards foreign policies which are just, well forget it, it's not going to happen keer is no different from rashin, in fact again he's even more uh compliant than i think tories are on so many issues, i think neoliberalism is is the culprit, but behind the scenes is those who financially back neoliberalism as the ideology of of choice in the west, and until the british public are more politically or less politically illiterate, less economically illiterate, you won't see any changes. no changes, well that is all under attack, everyone, my thanks to said mos abbas and mark wadsworth and to you for watching us, catch our earlier episodes on

pressv.co.uk, and until we meet again, continue to keep palestine in your hearts. this week on expo day we exposed the laughable coverage of the iranian presidential elections by western media which seemed more like echo chamber for pentagon talking points. the usual suspects were giving the spotlight hurling unfounded accusations against republic. showcasing a clear agenda of spite. predicty, western digital media klung to their tired narrative expressing concern that iran's foreign policy towards the designist entity would remain

unchanged with the new president. what a shocker? no. the iranian social media lit up with support for the elections, but voters in several western countries faced harassment and abuse, police offering no protection for them, outraging iranians back home. stay tuned for expose. the truth is just the revelation away. in the first part of today's show, we'll be taking a look at the us presidential race and what it might mean in terms of the united states future policy towards palestine and israel. in the second part, we'll be evaluating the outcome of the british general election and whether it's likely to affect the uk's relationship with the sign entity. most presidential candidates wouldn't even be able to point to palestine a map, they have. have no idea of the nuances uh involved, the history of the conflict. we didn't ever think that we could get a break though like that in the first part of the p system because it's it's designed to avoid

that kind of five uh seats. in this week's episode of iran tech we're checking out hondav's heavy water production facility to talk about how iran managed to rank among the top five producers of heavy water in the world, what heavy water even is, it significance and how it's made. in this week's episode, don't miss it, times are listed below.
