resistance against israeli aggression. hello and welcome to press tv spotlight, i'm marza hashimi, thanks so much for being with us. the israeli regime is overwhelmed, attacks from the resistance fronts from all directions are increasing as retaliation to the zinist regime's continual genocide against palestinians. resistance front has never been more coordinated. or committed to
10:06 pm
ridding the region of this tyranical entity, and now even the international court of justice is saying what palestinians and the resistance front have been saying from the beginning that israel is apartide entity and it is illegally occupying palestinian land. i'd like to welcome the guests to the program. charlotte caves, international coordinator, samadun, palestinian prisoner solidarity network. out of vancouver and sayid mosan abbas, journalist and political commentator out of london, thank you both for being with me, starting it off in vancouver, and charlotte, um, let's start off with yemen, and uh, let's look at what took place a couple of days ago when it's military struck tel aviv, yemen is a country which has been under a blockade itself since 2015, how exceptional is what yemen. has done in
10:07 pm
general, and especially given its circumstances. yemen's contribution to the struggle to end this genocide and occupied palestine, and for that matter to... liberate palestine from zionist colonialism has been nothing short of exceptional, and i mean this has consistently been the case, yemen and the yeveni people have always stood with palestine and the palestinian people, and the deep enthusiasm and commitment of the yevini people to palestine a popular le is dramatically visible every friday when millions of people take to the streets filling the streets and the squares um with demonstrations and actions in support of palestine. and of course they've been working to shut down the supply lines of genocide in the red sea consistently for months, and now we see the so-called port of lat in occupied palestine, the zionist port of alat declaring bankruptcy, and it's clear that it's uh yemen and gny initiative that has really stood out
10:08 pm
remarkably uh, especially in light of the, western imperialist nations that love to preach out human rights and international law, but have completely abandoned their responsibilities under international law to stop genocide, whereas yemen, despite living through years upon years of blockade and siege and bombing and war has embraced its responsibility and its commitment to palestine um both by shutting down the shipping routes of genocide and then by uh taking this uh historic offensive operation uh targeting tel aviv and it's really playing role with all of the resistance forces with the palestinian. resistance that has prevented the zionist regime despite its billions of dollars in us weaponry from taking control of gaza for the past 10 months, despite the genocide, they have absolutely failed to defeat the resistance militarily, the resistance in lebanon, iraq, syria, iran, and of course, in yemen has been
10:09 pm
playing a historic role, and what took place in uh so-called televive is really just a striking example of the people, the armed. forces uh the government and the ansara movement of yemen, making the decision to take action, that there is an necessity to take action to stop genocide, that's a historic action that's going to continue to have repercussions, right? well said moson, the leader of yemen zahnsarlah movement sayid abdul malik al-huthi says the yemenes will continue to support the palestinis, no matter the attacks that they may face, and the israeli regime can also expect. ations, even today another ship was attacked by the eminis and they sent a drone to the port of ellot again, your thoughts on your assessment general of what he has said and what they're doing? well, yemen is now set for a long war, it's been the declared, conclusion from
10:10 pm
what's happened over the last few days, even i think the the answer spokesman echoed the leaders message, ye sari said that the war with israel will now become a long one. until the israelis learn to stop being aggressive and stop the siege that they've laid upon the uh the palestinian people. now of course when it comes to blockades and sieges uh the ansarulah and yemen know very well how uh these things are played out because it's it's blockades, sieges and and famin and cholera distribution which is what the americans and the british have coordinated with saudi arabia and the uae fronting, the the their their war on the... many people since 2015, we've seen the most horrific genocides uh being rolled out in yemen, which all went of course unreported by the mainstream zionist western press. press tv of course was covering it daily and regularly more or less, but you've seen absolute connivance and
10:11 pm
silence and censorship on the genocide that's gone on against the yemani people by this same angle zen imperialism, so of course uh this is not new and whatuh what the the... are saying is a continuation and just basically an opening up of a direct war with israel for the first time. i mean, previously, israelis have been getting the americans and the british and the saudis and the uae to do their dirty work. we know israely operatives are in places like sikotra in the island, they've occupied sotra island, they're desperate to take back basically control of the babel. that's the point of the war they inflicted on yemen, and over quarter of million people who died. that war, the yemenes who have been killed, uh, the 80 or 90 killed in hodeder as a result of the henous crime of bombing those depots, was again civilians, the target, that's what's been the target all along about from from the anglo-zionists, it seems to be an zianist mo along with its supporters, well um,
10:12 pm
charlotte, how has the attack on tel aviv or yafa, yafa, actually, the actual name, uh, how has that affected the israeli? psychee in your perspective? well, we heard uh zionist commentators uh saying that this was essentially a 7th of october for israel's air defenses, in other words, another step of the flood, the liberating flood, to liberate palestine from the river to the sea, and once again the zionists were forced to contend with the fact that with this action from yemen, it was a path is once again and has remained visible to a palestine just free of zionism and and a region that is free of us imperialism, and it once again showed that the so-called you know uh impenetrable iron dome, the air defense is provided for that
10:13 pm
matter not just by the zionist regime itself, but by the us navy are not impenetrable, just like as we've seen you know the north of occupied palestine has been uh being emptied of its settlers and soldiers for the past several months and it's just showing time and time again any kind of illusion or belief and zionist uh inability to be defeated has completely been... stripped away and so of course we see the zionists working together with the us and the british to attack fuel depos to attack electricity to attack civilian infrastructure because as we know that is the standard operating procedure of zist and imperialist forces to attack uh civilian life and infrastructure, but what has happened on the z side is just uh having to come to terms with the reality that this is a... colony, this is a colony in decline, it is viewing the future, which is going to
10:14 pm
lead inevitably to the end of the zionist regime and occupied palestine and the liberation of palestine, and that's something that the zionist regime itself is having a very difficult time dealing with, so they want to create these images of you, oil fires in yemen so that they can promote that to the zionist population, which is developing a growing... crisis uh at a growing sense of disunity, of falling apart, of not being able to hold together against the resistance, because the fact is that the failure of the netanyahu government and in fact the failure the zianist project is more and more evident to all on lookers. right, well say moson, if we look at hezbullah now and the northern part of the occupied territories, the resistance group has made life for settlers in the that area unbearable. and unsafe and has continues to say the group still hasn't revealed all that it has, how is what's
10:15 pm
happening in the northern occupied territories affecting the regime and also the settlers themselves? well from october the 8ight unleashed its own support of the the oppressed people of gaza and palestine as a whole and they haven't stopped, they continued to very cleverly target the the israeli eyes and ears i call it really, it's really the uh all the ability of the iron dome and all of their defense mechanisms, hisbolla has been quietly uh whitling away the ability of israel to be able to stop and and block incoming drones, incoming missiles and partly you can see the the the effects of that, this drone which went through the yafa drone as you you put it was was exactly a beneficiary of lot of hezbollah's work where they've knocked down a lot of that system, so firstly has been absolutely uh you know uh uh vital to the the the palestinian resistance, because they pulled away at least two or
10:16 pm
three israeli divisions to the north from the first day, which meant that not all the israeli army could safely and comfortably go and attack the palestinian resistance in south, so there have been many many victories which have been achieved, many things have been tested, hiz bolah has shown that they're capable of sending their drones and their missils anywhere, they can hit any place and uh the yafa uh drone is yet another example of israel is so vulnerable because this this this drone, this uh missile, the drone that actually hit was only matter of you know maybe few blocks or from the american embassy itself, so you can see the hez have and the yemenese of course are sharing information, they're sharing intelligence and logistics and that is proving to be a big problem for israel, it's a big message for them to say that they they are as weak as a spiders web as uh hasan nasrullah has said many many times, yeah it's interesting the she just made said most in sharing information because of course the imperialist west and also the zionists um want to appear as if they uh have
10:17 pm
a mandate on technology and that nothing could get by them, but we see even from the very beginning whether we're talking about october 7th or we're talking about uh yemen hitting the regime um we see that there's been a lot of talk with the regime just building itself up well um charlotte when we um we see is... role that it has always been a rogue entity and now it's behaving as very desperate entity, just in the last week uh, it has attacked three countries, lebanon, syr. and yemen, and of course that's besides the continued killing of palestinians in both gaza and the west bank. your assessment as to the regimes, why would they behave in this way when it is almost been 10 months that it has not been able to defeat hamas, why would it want to expand the fronts now? as you
10:18 pm
mentioned, the zionist regime has always been a genocidal state, it has always been a genocidal project, it was... was created through genocide in 1948 and occupied palestine and that has just been an ongoing process that has been supported, funded and armed by us imperialism, its fellow imperialist powers in britain, france, germany, canada, italy, etc. and what we saw and and what's been happening for the past decades, i mean of course the liberation of the south of lebanon in may of 2000 was a significant harving. of what was to come uh, it was an example of the fact that the this so-called peace process, the oslo process, which was designed to create false illusion of seeking peace and independence for palestinians, while actually pursuing more settlements, more collidization, more occupation and more creeping genocide, um, that this era was coming to an end, and what
10:19 pm
happened on the 7th of october with the launch of the alaxa flood and the heroic military action of the palestinian resistance, just... made it clear more than ever that this colony is a temporary colonial project implanted on occupied palestine and all of its claims to deterrence and superiority are falling apart due to the developments of the resistance and due to the developing unity of the resistance front inside palestine and throughout the region and the fact that we are seeing increasingly a multipolar world in which us imperialism no longer has the soul say on every thing that happens and every development that occurs internationally, and so what we've seen uh, this absolute genocidal, horrific assault of war crimes of all types of of crimes against humanity, of killing of children, of uh, you destruction of homes, destruction of civilian infrastructure, the targeting of refugee
10:20 pm
camps, the bombing of hospitals, the killing of children, the destruction of families, the... attempt to breach war through starvation and thirst and and the creation, all of this is the project of an imperialist monster that it has been injured and is lashing out in all angles in order to it's in order to attempt to kill all of those that are put that are showing that it's it's doom is forthcoming, but it's failing in any way to defeat the resistance, all it is doing along the path is accomplishing. horrific war crimes and crimes against humanity, yeah, interesting analogy when you talk about it, it's like really wounded animal, um, except that it's the one that's been initiating the harm, it's quite amazing, well - said moson, the islamic resistance in iraq has also increased its attacks on various israeli ports as well as hifa. let's talk about the overall activity and coordination of the
10:21 pm
resistance front in fighting the zionist regime in general, and and how we see this coming... together this coalecing of power of the resistance. i think we've seen steadily the evidence that the access of resistance is increasing in its abilities, it's getting more and more confident, because of course it first had to check out the abilities of the israeli defense systems and the israeli offensive systems. i think what they've done very admirably and very courageously is to actually accumulate all all the information they need. everything that israel's doing, everything from it. uh invasion of of gaza through to its uh responses in the north where of course as you said earlier hundreds of thousands of illegal settlers have now had to move out because of hez bull's attacks. it's it was also mentioned that the alap port is essentially declared bankrupt because that's where the the uh the popular resistance fronts of iraq have been
10:22 pm
concentrating with lot of their drones and lot of their missiles that are coming from that side and you can also see of course now yemen which is really of course uh basically shutting down bubble munting to all anglosonist imperialist shipping, it's not doing that for russia, you'll note, i mean they used the hypersonic missiles, it two which was used to knock out an israeli ship just this week, they've hit the the american navy and humiliated essentially the us navy in the bauble mandib for for weeks and weeks now, all of this is really showing us that actually uh the axis distance knows what it's doing and let me just remind you also the islam republic of iran in its response and its uh absolute penetration of the iron dome with its drones and the the few hypersonic missiles or ballistic missiles rather that they they sent in as a response to the instruction of their embass in syria, you can see that therefore, the access of resistance is working as team, it's it's rather like uh, you know, giving the israelis a confusion,
10:23 pm
where's where's the next attack coming from? the israelis are really perplexed and i think they are really a loss as to what to do, every time they want to go and uh launch attack on lebanon, which was the big drum beat about two weeks ago, the americans have said no, every time they want to go and do something in iran, the american sa no, so i've said no, so you can see that in response. to that very unified strategic attacking of israeli you know defense systems by the axis very successfully, what we're seeing israel do is actually nothing in particular other than killing those poor civilians in the way of any kind of military success, the they're not achieving anything on that front and they're not also able to be confident enough to go on the offensive, you can see that they dared not go into the the the lebanese territory because they know that they're going to get - more than a bloody nose and okay, let me let me get charly back in on this sorry you said most and but we're running a little late here, just a couple more minutes left, but charlotte, um, the uh,
10:24 pm
when we look at the resistance front pressing regime, and we've talked about that, but it's not only coming from the resistance front now, we have the international court of justice saying the same as what palestinians have been saying from the very beginning that the regime is impartied entity and that the settler colonialists must leave palestinian land, your thoughts on this... 'if and how that will be affecting the whole situation? will the regime listen or your assessment of that call by the icj? uh, the icj's advisor opinion is certainly well-placed to once again reaffirm what has been reaffirmed for decades upon decades upon decades, which is that the zion regime is in violation of international laws, carrying out war crimes, is carrying out crimes against humanity, is committing the crime of apartide, and of course right now is committing the crime of genocide'. um, but the question is, how are they to be held accountable? and right now it is the resistance forces that are actually taking the meaningful action to hold the science regime accountable, because despite
10:25 pm
these decisions and desp their professed commitment to so-called rules-based international order, of course what we see is that the united states and its imperialist partners in britain, france, germany, canada, etc. are the world's largest violators of international law, and is the resistance that are on the front that are on the front lines, defending humanity and defending any? and so it's up to us internationally to organize, to demonstrate, to join the struggle, to shut business as usual down, to do everything that we can to stop these imperialist powers and the zionist regime from continuing their war crimes and genocide, on that note, i have to end the program, appreciate both of you being with me on the spotlight, charlotte kids, international coordinator, samadun palestinian prisoner solidarity network out of vancouver, said mostbus journalist and political commentator out of london, and thank you viewers for staying with us on another spotlight, i'm marza hashimi, hope to see you right here next time, goodbye.
