hello and welcome to press tv spotlight. i'm marica hashimi. thanks so much for being with us. well, on saturday, there was attack on the occupied gold land heights area of majdo shams. 12 people who were all jews were killed. the israeli regime is blaming hezbullah for the incident, but the resistance group denies being involved. and the question is, why is the regime trying to

blame hezbullah for the incident? is it trying to hide its own responsibility or is it simply trying to expand the war and get the us and iran involved or is it a combination of the above? well, stay with us. as we take a look at all of this on the spotlight. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. out of vancouver, spokes person for the masar bad movement khalid barakat. and out of london, journalists and political commentators say it mosan at boss. well, thank you both for being with us, like to start this off in vancouver with harlet. now the israeli regime has accused hezbollah of launching missiles which killed people and the occupied majd shams. hezbolah has of course denied any involvement. mean, your thoughts on who is responsibility, because we've seen if heizbullah. is responsible for

something, they usually do not hesitate to admit responsibility. i mean, your thoughts on all of this. yes, thank you, sister marziah, and salam alaikum. waalaikum salam, thank you for coming. um, of course, designist regime is responsible for this for many reasons, one, israel is the occupying power in gulan heights, gulanheights. is a syrian occupation, you occupite land, and israel have been just like they do in palestine, from the river to the sea, their policies of racism and you know colonialism and the theft of the syrian people wealth in the gulan heights including majdal shams, the second reason is because people. the region

and including a large sector, even from designist society itself, believe the narrative and the story of hazball. hazballah in the past in have made you know have launched missiles that were hit some palestinian family and they apologized and the palestinian family understood that... of these things could happen, and today we see the response of the people of majd al shams in when they kicked the racist israeli minister smotrige who were trying to utilize this incident in order to charge people against the lebanese resistance and against the palestinian people, since when israel cares about the people of syria or syrians being killed, never, i mean we we we you... israel

have supported daesh, have provided safe haven for daesh, have treated some of daesh takfiries, you know, criminals in israeli hospitals, okay, in on this conversation, stay with me please, well, let's give some of clarification to our viewers, because of course israel occupied syria's goland heights where mams is located in 19 67 and illegally annexed the area in 1981. now the un security council declared the israeli action null and vod void and in resolution 497 stated that the act was illegal and that the regime must leave the occupied area immediately. now that was some 43 years ago. mean isn't the whole problem of all of this when we're looking at it that the international community is clearly responsible for israeli clim. crimes

first by creating the entity on other people's lands and then by not enforcing uh their own laws, un laws against the regime. uh absolutely, well the international community, inverted commerce basically means the anglo-zionist empire, other international uh members of that community really matter, all that matters is really when they talk about international communities, what they talking about is their plunder interests, their imperialist interests, the anglo-zionist imperialist agenda to control, occupy and plunder any any piece of land they like anywhere, the golan heights is... classic example, of course the the area that's been hit is largely uh uh populated by the the dress and of course they are syrians, they are independent people in their own rights, but they've been subjugated without any uh, any real pushback from this so-called

international community, in fact they've been completely ignored and left to rot, that compared to say for instance ukraine, you have to bring up the... ukraine example, where the the same international community of anglo-zionist genocidals bleats night and day about how how terrible it is that nation like ukraine has been you know occupied or attacked by by the henous russians you know those narratives clearly show that it means nothing to these international institutions their communities because they're all just they're all just leavers of power for the same. uh zionist money power which is causing most of the devastation around that area, so i would discount international opinion on that on that level, however, the people who have been killed, you have to ask questions, a good question is what will lead automatically, 80% to the answer, so why if

lebanon, if if hazbollah, which has been engaged an ongoing uh exchange of missiles uh with israel since october the 8th a very extensive level. but have always chosen to attack israeli military targets whilst the israeli military has constantly made no distinction has been killing civilians, journalists, um, doctors, uh, children, women, anything they find. why now would hezbollah change the equation by attacking area largely occupied by by the dres, which aren't even involved in any war against hez bull, and not only that, hezbulah needs the dres jumbalat and their cooperation in lebanon, why would they choose that as a target if they were to kill, why would they choose children as a target when actually the track record is lebanon uh hezbulah doesn't kill children by way of policy and even usually by accident as far as i know so but israel does it deliberately and now here is

uh is is is crying wolf for something very likely and it seems inevitable i mean i think hasbullah said that they try to intercept some sort of missile and it's one of their interception missiles which is actually on these poor children, so you know the reality is the why question is big, why why would hezbullah target area of children which isn't even one of their primary regions of operation? okay, well what about that khalid, i mean as seid moson just said hezbullah and even drew's leader initiative from the jew's initiative galap safe has said that the explosion or the rocket whatever you want to call it. was actually from israeli iron dome interceptor missile, which often causes damage to both people and their possessions. your thoughts, so you think that's a possibility that this is a flag, false flag attempt by the regime to white intentions in

the region, or is it just mishap on their part? well, israel is responsible on this, israel, it's an israeli intercept missile. that caused this, we believe hisballah and the lebanese resistance story because the experience have shown that for the past 30 years hazballah have credibility amongst not just the people i said of the region but in you know even israelelis the public believe sad hasan nasarlah more than they believe netanyahu because there is nothing to... high hizballah, as your guest have said, have a targeted since october 8th israeli military site, even when israeli soldiers goes into a settlement or even twice when they try to go

into houses that belong an arab village, the target were the soldiers, the israelis they especially netanyahu wants to use this incident in order to first say that golan hides in israeli land and that they are, these are israeli citizens. and wants to play on the sectarian line and we saw that the national trends of drews were in supporting the the lebanese resistance narrative and story and they you don't see israeli flags for example in these funerals and even the chance and the national voices whether in talist. 1948 occupied territories, palestinian drews or syrian dres or lebanese

drews for that matter, we saw the statement by walid jumplot and others who supported the lebanese resistance story and said that israel is the criminal party here, and we have been seeing for the past 10 months what genocide is and the daily war crimes, in fact the same hour that this happened, israel have targeted schools in ghazza killing over 36 children in school, and there is one thing here i think that it's really important to see, and that is israel is trying to keep the war, keep the aggression, because this serves netanyahu and his war cabinet, and at this... time they want to drag europe and the united states into escalation in the region because

netanyahu understand that cease fire or the sessasion of aggression on ghazza will mean his defeat and he's going to basically go into the dustpan of history, he is not going to be able to continue and his political life is is done. "and we see that the palestinian resistance, the lebanese resistance, the yemenis, the iraqies are actually united front, and they have a strategy, and we see that israel is waiting for any incident in order to use it, because they don't have a strategy, they don't have an exis strategy. okay, well said moson, after the deaths of the 12 people in mat shams, azanish regime said it would definitely respond. to the killing of israeli citizens, i mean your thoughts about this, first of all, those

individuals are not israeli citizens, second of all, it's not as if that they particularly care about the drews to begin with, and third, as khalet said, i mean, we know the aggression that the israeli regime was involved with, and with daish and others against syria, so tell me your take on this comment, what exactly? is it trying to do? well netan yahoo uh was in the us, he was he's been obviously draming up financial and military and other support there, and it's interesting how they timed this just as he's busy trying to convince congress and others to back him in a more extended war, that it's exactly right that the main mission uh of netanhu is to enlist the united states, britain. germany, whoever he can get on board uh to actually directly take part in a in a

a, i guess a full on uh regional war, he he's absolutely mad in terms of wanting to trigger that, because it doesn't matter to him that that could involve ballistic missiles, maybe nuclear missiles. this could be uh basically the beginning of an armagedden, a world war. now of course the americans realize this, they know that hezbollah is not mucking around, they're not joking when they tell them look. "don't go further than our red lines, because it will mean we will come for you in every way shape and form. the americans take that threat very seriously. netanyahu clearly doesn't seem very concerned, but what netanyahu does know is that if he does it himself, goes in on his own, as it were, without the ground support the american military or the naval backup that they have all lined up there against hezbulah, that he basically doesn't really stand a chance because he's got an army of uh demoralized..." novices, young kids who are drafted in by force as conscripts, and uh,

he's got a set of people who are illegal immigrants in a nation where which they colonize and occupy, they have moral fight here, their fight is one of land occupation, they're up against a force which has seen torture, which has seen death, killing, murder, injustice, oppression of the worst kind, and they are motivated not only by that, but they m motivated by the fact. they want justice before allah, they are motivated by very divinely inspired, if you like, mission to fight for the oppressed and to fight for justice, there's no comparison. between the israeli ground army and say uh the hezbollah or the uh the the the the iraqi pmus and the yeminies and if it comes to it even the irgc, they they really do not stand a chance a ground war, not only that, they understand that the way that the axis of resistance has been fighting the war in syria and the syrian army itself needs a strong

mention because the way that they've annihilated the the israel western back daesh and takfiri forces in syria... is a lesson and message to them that these soldiers are fully trained in the field and ready uh for action, they're hardened soldiers up against uh israeli kids who like to post tik tok messages for how they've stolen israeli stolen palestinian childrent after murdering and mutilating them basically so this is what you're face with and netanyahu knows this so he needs the americans in this these are the ways the dirty tricks brigader out they're trying to sort of get the americans into this war. hm, well, what about that? khaid, i mean, us officials are saying that they are concerned that without a cease fire in gaza, a war between israel and the lebanese resistance group hezballah is becoming more likely, and that would cause the crisis to expand throughout the region, and get washington more involved in a conflict. i mean, if this is the case, and this is what they're saying, they believe, then why

doesn't washington just stop the genocide against the palestinians right now, the resistance front in general has said. that they would stop retaliatory attacks against the regime, if the regime stops its genocide in gaza. well, we have to remember that the united states is not a mediator here, the united states is leading these war crimes in geneside against the palestinian people. i mean, who is arming israel to the teeth? who is covering israel crimes in regional and international arenas? who is supporting israel? fully, it's the united states and the us is not just complicit in this war crimes, they are actually want to seek, you know, israel victorious. the problem is, the us is calculating this in a more realistic way, they're seeing that the israeli army have failed in defeating the palestinian resistance, in achieving all the goals that

they set for themselves to do in ghazza. the only thing they did is... is is is killing thousands and tens of thousands of palestinians and destroying ghazza, but on the military objectives and political objectives, they have failed. israel have been trying for the past 10 months also to find an alternative palestinian political entity to replace the resistance, and they have failed, they have failed with other political parties, failed on trying to get some tribes to do that, some of the arab... reactionary regimes like the united arab emirates, saudi arabia, you know, egypt, the they failed on all these fronts, and so israel and the united states understand that israel is in crisis, in fact, the united states wants to help resignist regime, not to be, not to take itself and take the united

states into a strategic defeat, and especially in case of... regional uh war if it breaks out, the united states understand that they will be uh defeated and at the same time hizballah and the palestinian resistance have been really inflicting real damage on the israeli army, i mean if you look at the israeli internal front, it's divided, it's weak, it's very um, you know, not... organized, there is mistrust between the army and the political ranks, mistrust between the public and you know the their political leadership, and so israel is not exactly in a position where it could force any kind of conditions, they are very, you know, the

their their fault, their failing, and the zionist regime is witnessing an existentialist crisis is not just... about not being able to administrate the war, it's not being able to administrate the entity itself, and we see that netanyahu that as he was trying to seek you know us support and more support, he is not really being looked at as someone that you know um to be working with or respected even by the united states administration. the us invoy in lebanon, heckstein, who have called every lebanese faction and political party in the last 24 hours. and he have heard the same answer, you know, the lebanese resistance is defending lebanon, we believe the uh, hizballah

narrative, this war uh of aggression and genocide against gazza has to stop, and we think that israel and the united states are marching fast to a strategic defeat in the region, a strategic defeat in ghazza. "the palestinian people are more united than ever behind their armed resistance, and we are going to start seeing new palestinian political front, not just military front, that will take the palestinian people into and their struggle into a different level. this is happening, and some people don't want to believe that the united states is retreating, but that's the fact, the empire is..." treeting: all right, and one minute, said moson, uh, your overall assessment of where this stands right now, do you see this war expanding? these kinds of black

operations or psychological operations only happen when you're not achieving the objectives that you set out to, that's what's happened. israel hasn't got its hostages back, it hasn't defeated hamas, it's not destroyed the tunnel networks that hamas has, it hasn't broken the will of the palestinians, it's resulted... a whole new generation, now read to join the armed resistance, it's shown that the access of resistance can operate successfully together, for the first time the access of resistance has worked as a unit, yemen, even i would say the the islamic republic, syria and lebanon, and of course not forgetting palestine itself, all have been operating and the iraqi pmus, that shows the israelis and the americans that coming into any war, regional war in this region is going to result in huge levels of body bags going back to america and to their european destinations and that they should refrain from it, and i think the americans have taken that message, which is why they're dragging their feet. netanyahu is

hoping that trump wins the election and he can persuade the next regime in america to do it, that's why he's trying to keep this drum beating, his desperation is clear. thank you both for being with me, khalid barakat, spokesman spokes person about the movement out of vancouver, said most abbast journalists and political. commentator out of london and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight, i'm marza hashimi, hope to see you right here next time, goodbye, this is lobby plays down the amount it spends on influencing policy. united states, so in today's show, we'll be laying bear the reality. nicely went up to senator federman's a democrat, i actually supported at one time,

and i, i said that he should consider supporting sease fire because of all the deaths that have been caused by israel and gaza, and half of them children, and before talking for very long, he had me thrown out the venue. that i had a ticket for by the way. apac is not the israel lobby, it's one organization in a nexus of other organizations, and they of course coordinate with each other, they raise funds with each other, and it doesn't mean that they they have to declare that money to the federal regulators because of course it's not, it's not even their spending, but nevertheless they are they are raising this money and significant sums of money, which people don't don't have any any clear understanding is part of what they do. i've seen more incinerated children that i've ever seen in my entire life combined. how many kids are in

danger of starvation in gaza? all of them, absolutely all of them. 'i've never seen that before, never seen that. so of all the disaster zones you've seen, how does gaza compare all of the disasters i've seen combined, combined 40 mission'. 30 years, ground zero, earthquakes, all of that combined doesn't equal the level of carnage that i saw against civilians. in

just my first week in gaza, and when you say civilians, is it mostly children? almost exclusively children. i've never seen that before, never seen that. i've seen more shredded children in just the first week. shredded, shredded. what do you mean? missing body parts, being crushed by buildings, the greatest majority, or bomb explosions, the next greatest majority. i have children that were shot twice. wait, you're saying that children and... gaza are being shot by snipers, definitively. i have two children that i have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest, i couldn't put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head, in the same child, no toddler get shot twice by mistake by the world's best sniper, and they're dead center shots. what about the emotional wounds? how can you measure that? i can't measure my own. how do you be a... uh

an orphan and watching your family, you know, meltted in front of you and shredded in front of you, how do you fix that ever fix that? for dozens of miles we saw 18 wheelers parked bumper to bumper, engines off outside of gazet, food or healthcare could not get in. why the atomic bomb? why all the power? you scientists are blamed for the weapons to be used, killing innocent people to get what?

the headlines on press tv, nearly 70 palestinians are killed in the latest israeli strikes on the gaza strip as the rajin forces make further incursions into areas in the south of the territory, an international human rights organization. condemns israel's displacement orders for palestinians in gaza as a crime against humanity and part of the regim's genocide and anger rups in the occupied goverland heights over the arrival of israeli ministers for the funeral of saturday's rocket attack victims with protesters demanding them to leave.
