it's in direct contradiction of the bible that they claim to respect. jesus told us, i'm a christian, that blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of god, and this man attempted to make a peace agreement, he attempted to bring peace to the region, he tried to resolve the ongoing problems and he was murdered by the direct orders, the direct orders of the president of the united states. with no mercy and with no opportunity to make peace, this is the way the united states is operating and this will bring them to terrible fate, and do you believe that these assassinations will affect the dynamics of the region, particularly how the arab world will be dealing with the palestinian cause? absolutely, most of the arab world is a...

believing in these same concepts that murder is evil, that the killing of peacemakers is contrary to the interests of all nations, that the assassination of people on peaceful missions is unacceptable, and that even their own rules about trial and jury and decisions by a system of justice, even those rules they routinely ignore and violate. okay, so back to sakina, uh, now that we've discussed the different aspects of how these assassinations will affect the dynamics of the region, one very key issue right now with regards to gaza is humanitarian aid, and do you believe that this will impact to the organizations that are sending humanitarian aid to gaza or any efforts to get the aid inside, because we do know that israel does not allow the uh

regular and easy flow of humanitarian aid into the basis gaza strip? i think there will be some tochanism in terms of aid being delivered, we have already seen that from the uk government who reinstated you know the the aid that they had stopped giving urnwa and i think this will be followed because right now speecially after this assassination there is of fear of repercussions of what is going to happen and i think some of the games being played will be ' you know resuming aid, but not enough to ensure that people are not starving, so there is a strategy in my view of to continue starving the people, slow death and ethnic cleansing will continue in gaza, but there will be talkenism from the western governments, because that is what they do all the time, these are all the you know the games that they play, it's it's all propaganda really, and in terms of you know we were discussing about the the religious aspect whether... you are a christian or a

muslim or a jew, you know, i think everybody understands now that for example, the zionist entity is really not a jewish entity, they may claim to be, but these cannot be the people of the book, and and if you look at the inception of israel through the bafur of declaration here in the united kingdom, it is very obvious that these were people who were not who did not believe, they were not believers in any religion. 'these were people who did not have a faith and and they high checked the concept of judaism of the chosen people to create jerusalem because the whole idea of the state of israel is this is a proxy for the western countries to really have their presence and to control the region so i think you know i do not believe that these really are people of the book because people of the book would have some basic values whether they were christians of

muslims or jews, and they would respect basic things like humanity, like starving people, which person of god really believes that the way forward is to starve people, so i think aid is used in very political manner, i don't think that there is going to be real effort to ensure that you know people get some kind of a relief, but we will see as we have seen from the uk some kind of tokenism of of. sending the aid back to gaza. thank you very much. now back to mr. john boznich. in your opinion, mr. boznish, how has social media reacted to the uh assassination and how has that affected public opinion? well, we we can't use social media as a very good judge of what's going on, because it's so heavily censored today by the military industrial complex of the united states and if i post

even my interviews with press tv, i'm often banned for a week or for a month, so we can't use social media anymore as a gauge of what people? say or think, because social media is no longer social, it's anti-social media, it's war media. i tried to continue to use it, to try and post, and move to different platforms. perhaps there's a little bit more freedom on some of the newer platforms, but social media is not a judge. we have to trust in our inate knowledge of what is human and what is not human. what has happened here is that a terror state, the state of israel that was created by admitted terrorist groups, the stern gang and irgun has come to the stage of state terror, now against peacemakers in other neighboring countries, what in and and what was created by terrorism appears to be

ending in terrorism, and as it says in the holy books, he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword, and this unfortunately looks to be the fate of israel, which is as you correct, saying, it is not a religious state, it is a zionist state, and a zionist state of people who publically said that they did not believe in god, and we should therefore not be surprised when they regularly violate the rules of god. okay, so uh, back to sakina, considering uh, the censorship that mr. john bosnish pointed out, which exists in social media, do you believe that? "it can by no means be trusted or in a way can be used in a positive manner to create more awareness regarding what's happening on the ground in gaza? i think at the onset of the war, you know, when when the war just began in gaza, at that time social media played a huge role and i think there

were considerable freedoms for the message to get out, of course there has been a massive crackdown since then, and it is true, we all..." realalize that where any time we we post anything that is related to palestine or a resistance, you know there is a blockage, however, having said that, i think there are still ways to get around it, and i think social media is still doing lot of good, and it's not good enough, we do need to find other ways, but for now it is still doing the job in the west in particular, because here in the west we do not get you know the media. the alternative media is easily, so for the people who are already converted and people who understand the dynamics, they will seek out other channels to get their news, but for the majority of the people here in the uk for example, the majority of the people will listen to bbc and they trust bbc to be you

know the voice of the truth, now bbc is anything but the voice of the truth and the whole palestinian issue is completely misrepresented in in. state or media over here, so the we only have the social media to really counter, and so even though it is not the best and it is not perfect. i personally have working in the media i have seen that social media has really done justice in ensuring that people who never would have heard of what is happening in palestine do get information for those journalists who are risking their lives in palestine and and they are posting from their personal you know... accounts a lot of this this material is getting through, so even though they are cracked downowns still, i think social media is playing major role, but we have to find ways to now fight all this crackdown that is coming through the social media. okay, back

to mr. bosnish. mr. boznish, in your opinion, what are some lessons that can be learned from uh, these assassinations, particularly in the way that israel acts, as you point. out yourself, someone who is uh working for peace, who is negotiating for peace, gets assassinated by the israeli regime? well, we have to conclude number one that the israeli regime does not want peace, because if they kill the peace negotiators, and this is not the first time they did this, they killed the first piece negotiators way back in the 1940s uh who were trying to negotiate a settlement in the in the palestine region, so... israel has a history of targeted assassinations, israel has a history of kidnapping its own citizens if they don't follow the line, so i think, and and when i say that i i can't depend on social media, it doesn't mean that i have given up on them because obviously there is other vehicle, because the israel

lobby which controls the us government and which controls the english government, the british, the so-called british government, which is basically english government, those lobbies also control social media, but if we continue to send out the truth, just like the iron dome failed to stop all of the responses to... barbarism, their iron dome over uh social media also cannot stop freedom of speech. freedom of speech will win, israel will lose, and they will either have to come to the table and sue for peace or they will be destroyed. okay, now back to uh sakina, in your opinion, what are some lessons for the israelis and their allies to be learned in this assassination considering that? their main motivation was to weaken the resistance movement, obviously that is not the case. i

think the main lessons would be for them to really understand that netanyahu is only doing all this for his own survival, that this is not in any way a win for israel, if anything this is the beginning of the end of the zionist entity, and he is pushing them further into you, the going on basically losing the war. so so i think for them is to understand that the people you assassinate, these are people who are not scared of that, these are the even the the palestinians, the lebanese, the common men and women and children that you're killing every day, they look at death as something that dying in in a way of god is and and of course resistance is the path of god, that this is an honor for them, for those who lose their children to... the fight of resistance, they see this as an honor to be called a mother or father of of a

martire, so it's for them to realize that this is not the strategy that's going to get you any browny points on the side of those in the resistance, i would say for us the lessons are that the fight is long and it's hard, but as long as we know what we are fighting for, as long as god is in the center of what we believe in, and and fighting for our freedoms our path of god, as long as we keep that in the center of our resistance, then we we will always uh prosper and we will never lose. okay, so mr. boznish, of course the topic of martterdom was something that we have gone over uh since this morning. i want to know what your take cares on martterdom means in uh the rhetoric of the resistance front and uh, we have seen, as you mentioned yourself, a string of assassinations, targeted assassinations of political leaders

by the israeli regime, has that been effective in weakening the resistance front? well, we have to look at it from both perspectives, ours as believers in god, and theirs as violators of god's rules. for them, assassination serves their short-term purposes of eliminating people who are doing things against their interest, and their interest is war and so they want to stop peace from coming at this stage, but for us, the believers in god, and as a christian, i tell you, almost all of the disciples of jesus were martered, and it's strange, and it tells you how far we have strayed from the word of god in the west, that they make fun the use of the term martter, when almost every saint in the christian religion was martered, so for me, martterdom is a sign of... faith in god first, an obeying of god's will, second, and a sign of honor that one

values one's principles and one's beliefs, more than this material world and one's life, and i can tell you that my own background is serbian, and we've gone through almost a thousand years of war in which many, many, many people died trying to defend their beliefs. i think that this error, serious error and... "this offense against god by the israeli state is going to have a payback to israel 1ous times greater and worse than the sin that they committed against the peacemaker. okay, and as the final question that i would like both of you to answer, sakin, first let's begin with you. uh, do you believe that this assassination will reshape the future of the region? how do you you think it will have an effect on the future? think in the short term we will not see that

much of a change because i believe ismael hania will be replaced by another you know person who is just as stead fast and as faithful as ismael hania was and i think the excess of resistance will continue. i think in the long term i i see that the even though i find personally that... "the pace of change is very slow, but there definitely is pace of change and this change is happening all around the world, here in the west more and more people are really getting to understand." what zionism is all about and for so many years of the propaganda that was spotted out by the you know zionist media in the west, people are now getting to grips with what really this entity is all about, so there are a lot of movements here, but also in the middle east, i think people are now getting to point whereby they're getting fed up to be honest with with the zionist games

that are being played, it's quite obvious that they do not want peace. netanyahu has no interest at all and also quite clear to me that the you know green light was given to him in washington when he was there and we saw this real crazyish display of him getting the applause in congress and this tells you that there is no difference between israel and america and netanyahu is henting globe with all the leadership of the us so but the us itself also i think is going. to some real serious issues, economic problems, political problems, the kind of vacuum of leadership we are observing right now with the kind of candidates that are standing for the us election is the sign that us itself will crumble and along with it zionism will crumble so in the i think this is a bit longer term but we need to have that patience

and i think already we see that the pace is beginning to change and hopefully change for the better thank you very much john bosnish: the same question for you, how do you think this assassination will reshape the future? that it will polarize the situation more than it already was. i think it has shown clearly that it is not the united states that is supporting israel, but it is israel and israel's lobby in washington that is controlling the united states. i think people need to understand that, that when those politicians in the us congress stand up and give a stand ovation to netanyahu who they know to be a war criminal, they know they're applauding a war criminal, they know also that if they don't stand up and give a standing ovation that their financing for the upcoming election in november will be cut off from the israel lobby and they will lose their seats, so the actual control is in the hands of the israel lobby and the american uh

congress is nothing more than a group of paid puppets. working for the dollars that israel is giving them to turn against the interests the american people and against democracy. we've got an apartide state in israel, we've got a criminal leader in israel, a war criminal, and even the jewish old rules of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth have been violated, because they've taken tens of thousands of eyes and tens of thousands of teeth, for those few... hamas took when hamas made its incursion against the occupiers at the beginning of this most recent exchange. okay, and mr. boznish, in your opinion, can public opinion have an effect, maybe not in the short-term, but in mid-term or long-term, how can it tip the scales? i think it can,

and i, and i, i continue to speak to all of my colleagues in europe, in asia. and here in canada where i am now, about this situation, and i hear more and more recognition that israel is wantonly and intentionally violating not just international law, but the human moral code, and once people who used to be neutral come to that conclusion, remember i was raised here in north america and i was raised to be pro-zionist to be pro israel, and it took travels around the world as a journalist. and travels to understand the real truth, as more and more people are seeing the truth through the media and through the social media that does get through the blockade, israel's support will evaporate, and what is important is when i was last in new york, i saw many american jews protesting against israel, and that is the start. okay, and finally, the last

question is for sakina, are you as hopeful as mr. john boznic is uh towards uh public opinion playing an important role and changing the dynamics. i am hopeful because i do agree with him and i think i sitting here in london have seen a huge change in the public opinion. in this 10 months the amount of people who used to sit on the fence or were neutral who now understand what zionism is all about and and recognize that this is evil you know evil zionist state, this is increasing, the the change in the young people in particular when we see this university encampments. "this gives me a lot of hope. i on myself have children of university age, and when i see the awareness in this age group, this really does give me a

lot of hope, and at the end of the day, i think all i we can say is that all of us need to play our path. whatever in whichever small manner we can speak and change people's opinions, we do that at the end of the god. at the end of the day, i think we are all people of faith and we have to believe that..." "there is a god up there who is watching what is going on, who is seeing the atrocities that is happening, and he will take to account all the perpetrators of all the atrocities that have happened, we need to play our role in order for this to come to its logical conclusion. thank you very much, that was sakina dota, author and a journalist joining us live from london, we also had with us john bosnish, journalist." activs and political analysts joining us from canada, thank you very much to both of you for sharing your thoughts and views with us on as we covered the funeral procession of ismail

hania in the iranian capital, tehran. for those of you that have just joined us, i would like to repeat that he was assassinated yesterday morning in the early hours of the morning uh in his residence in tehran, he was on an official visit to take part in the swearing and ceremony of iran's ninth president massud pazashka. also, we did cover the special ceremony that was held in honor of martter, the hazbullah martter, commander faad shukr, who was also killed in an israeli attack. almost the same time at as the assassination of ismail hania in tehran and there was a ceremony there held in beirot which we did cover for you. also we uh listen

to the hazballah leader said hasan nasarlah give a speech and abdul malik al huthi leader the yemani ansara movement uh all of them have been stating very clearly that the israel regime should wait for very serious response to these acts of aggression and of course violating the sovereignty of nations, mostly iranian in particular and of course lebanon for the attacks there, and we will be bringing you more details later in our news bulletin. thank you for watching. the warm

on gearing leaders of this rough regime have shown complete disregard for the basic norms and principles of international law. their crimes reveal a lack of commitment to peace and stability in the region and suggest intention escalate conflict and expand the war. through the entire region, the continuation of israel's aggression treaten peace and stability in the region, the international community, particularly the united nations security council, cannot remain indifferent to such heinous crimes and must take decisive action to address this violation and hold the perpetaters accountable. the security council must unequivocally condemn israel for its horrible terrorist act as a most serious violation of international law and the charter of the united nation as well as a grave breach of iran's sovereignty and national security.

this condemnation should be strong and clear and reflect the international community's rejection of such violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity. furthermore, the security council should take immediate a step to hold israel. accountable for this act of aggression, this include considering the imposition of sanction and other measures that are necessary to prevent further violation and to signal that the israeli malevalent activities will not be tolerated by the international community. as pronounced by palestinian president mahmoud abbas, the palestinian leadership condemns in the strongest terms, the assassination of former palestinian prime minister and head of the political bureau of hamas, ismail hannah in tehran today. a national day of morning has

been declared in palestine and we solemnly acknowledge the expressions of condolence and the global condemnations of this act of terror. moreover, we unequivocally condemn the criminal breach of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the islamic republic of iran, as we condemn, the repeated breaches by israel of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of lebanon, the syrian arab. public and yemen, and this includes yesterday's brazen attack on bayrut. we call again with utmost urgency on the security council, the general assembly, and all law-abiding, peace-loving nations to act forth with to bring a hal to these horrific criminal israeli aggressions against the palestinian people and on our region. we demand accountability for this assassination.

as we have continually demanded accountability for the wanton murder and injury of over 130,000 palestinian children, women and men across these past 300 days of horror and hell in gaza, and call for accountability for all of israel's criminal policies and practices in our territory across the decades. mr. president, violence and terror are clearly israel's main and only currency, not international law, not diplomacy, not mediation, not respect for human life. there is no red line for israel, no law, it will not breach, norm it will not trample, no act too depraved or barbaric for its occupying army and settler militias and no child, women or man off limits, even babies considered legitimate targets.

islamic revolution leads a funeral prayers for hamas leader ismaim hania who was assassinated by israel on wednesday. hasbullah resistance movement says a retaliation for assassination of top lebanese commander by israel in beirot is definite and inevitable. and israel air strikes and artillery fire continue to pound gaza.
