"this is for palestine, with hezballah striking deeper into israel than ever before, today's edition of palestine declassified considers the consequences for designist entity wanty to embark a full-scale military invasion of lebanon. well, to be frank, i think it's the end for these radies. i, i, i think there's no recourse for them anymore, uh, they have uh fallen into a trap of epic proportions." that she's just given us is based almost entirely on the the uh report from the institute for national security studies which is a uh zionist think tank in tel aviv. now you might think from in listening to it that if you were just listening to it without knowing that that this was very pro hisballah report but actually this is design this report and it indicates really doesn't it the difficulty of the law legal situation in the uk where of hisbolah is a prescribed organization is an illegal organization but can you come on imagine the institute of national? security

in continuation of its retaliatory attacks lebanons hezbollah resistant movement performed series of drone operations hitting several uh areas and targets inside the occupied territories, but that is not a revenge that movement that promised the israeli enemy. in a speech, today, hezballa secretary general sasan nasara said that israel is anxiously awaiting revenge by iran hezbollah and yemen. he also warned muslim states not to heat the israelity plan to eradicate. and dominate the whole region, in which case everybody will be facing a grave danger. welcome to the spotlight. i'm your host najafi and these are our guests in this episode. marwa ost of stream, joining me from, lebanon. every activist is also joining me from montreal, canada. welcome to the
10:07 pm
show, now let me begin uh with marva, hezbollah chief, as you are definitely heard admitted that the assassination of fuker definitely was big loss for the resistance, but fact of the matter is that the resistance is still standing strong, and he argued that what israel achieved by assassinated, he questioned actually the achievement of israel in assassinating gahaniah and shukur, he said that nothing has changed on the ground, as you and i very well know, their captives are not released, no military gains on the ground, let's have your take on this aspect, thank you for having me, absolutely agree with you, because um, if you look at the access of resistance and the losses that they have been incurring ever since they declared that they are an open struggle with the uh existence of the occupation of the us occupation in the region and the israeli entity occupation as well, we have lost a lot
10:08 pm
of fine leaders, prominent leaders like for example leader martter hash qasim sulaymanier general qasim sulaimani, that was the biggest loss for the access of resistance because he worked so... hard from the 80s up until the liberation of certain towns in syria and certain big cities in syria from the um bangs of terrorism which are basically uh funded and armed trained by the united states of america and israel so when saidlah says that the loss of uh sayid muhsin uh commander shukr was a great loss he means it because it his position was delicate and he was a mentor for uh hundreds of thousands of of men, not only in lebanon, but across the axis of resistance as well, but that does not mean that the resistance will be affected. we've been talking about the assassinations that have been basically the routine that zinust israel turns to when it wants to maybe hurt
10:09 pm
the resistance while knowing that it really cannot do any change. it's basically is spoken in uh very clear words, crystal words in one of the... most important books that designist entity ever published and it's called rise and kill first by one of the masad agents who was part of many of the assassination uh attempts and the assassination operations that happened all across the world, not only in the region of west asia, so we know that this is a maneuver that the zionist israel always turns to when it cannot really change things on the ground. now zionist israel tried to use this assassination along with the assassination of marker leader ismail hani in tehran to try to tell its people that look, i'm bringing some sort of success, some sort of achievements, but those achievements were never part of the list of objectives and goals uh of the genocide going on in in gaza, and i think the uh settler community uh realizes that hence why we're seeing lot of protest against netanyahu, but maybe not against the war or
10:10 pm
assassinations or genocide, because this entity with its entirety is an entity that does not want to see peace in the region. okay, now if uh hazwel chief also said that... the fact that the enemy is just waiting and they're waiting while warming a lot that the are this this retaliation is going their way sooner or later and the whole uh israel is on the high alert the military the officials the people they are all anxious and they are waiting for this retaliation from hezballah and chief is saying this perse is actually part of the punishment so so do you also agree that this is some kind of some sort of psychological war? yeah, well there's obvious psychological element to it uh, and this is uh, you know, it causes israelis to uh worry and it has uh spill over economic effects, you see lots of flights and stuff
10:11 pm
like that, um, i forget what a airline i just saw the stopping all their flights from new york to uh to tel aviv until i think september 1st uh something like that um so there is, there are real effects, economic effects of of this type of of policy. um, you know, there's probably also, i would assume from hezball standpoint and iran standpoint, they do actually, you know, they do need time to figure out exactly what they want to do and to calibrate um, what they can do uh, with what the political uh result will be of of of of action, because i think the um, the preference... still from iran and um and hezbulah is to is to not uh go into an all-out regional war, i think netanyahu wants that, netanyahu wants to uh draw the us into a full regional war, um so so there's you
10:12 pm
know many considerations probably with the with the timing uh from the psychological impact to the to the consideration of exactly what is possible and what uh what you want to do, because uh, you want you, you need to respond in a way that's sufficiently um strong to deter uh israel from you know who knows what they'll do next if you don't if you don't deter them um, but but also you don't want escalate too much that um you ensure a you know full on full on regional war right now uh marwa regarding this uh punishment that uh was talking it said this will come there it could be a multi-prong one it could be joint operations it could be from one single uh front of the uh resistance it you iran, yemen, iraq, they could act in a joint way, they could act independently, so
10:13 pm
in terms of uh scale and the type, uh, what do you expect to happen? well, i think this is 100% some sort of psychological warfare that said hasan masters all the time against the zionist entity, and he said it, he said that the the the time that is being spent without a retaliation is in itself punishment, and now saying that we might do it on our own, might have some sort of a collective sharing opportunity to uh retaliate from yemen, lebanon, iraq and iran, that uh its own also really uh puts designist entity uh top of its toes because it means that it needs to secure the entire geography of occupied palestine, because when for example on april 14th the islamic republic of iran was retaliating against designist entities aggression on the uh iranian consulate in damascus, we saw that it's only uh basically uh threw like 300 rockets with sworm of drones and only those rockets
10:14 pm
completely decimated the defense lines of uh zianist israel, it actually needed the help of three nuclear states, the us, the uk and france and the help of regional allies as well like jordan, uae, egypt and saudi arabia, but majorly saudi arabia, emirates and jordan to also uh basically put on their air defense missiles against the missiles sent by the by iran and you had their own level of protection inside of occupied palestine so this time can you imagine what would happen if it was like times two or three the amount of uh missiles sent and not only from there but also from south lebanon from the southern part of iraq and from the northern part of yemen. i think that would be first obviously unpresented but i would think that that would mean that the entire region would have swor of missiles and anti-defense missiles and it would be very, very dangerous for everyone involved, because israel is
10:15 pm
trying will try to utilize all the levels of protection that it could put it hand its hands on, hence why we see this level of presence from the united states of america and from the uk as well, both in the mediterranean and near the the persian gulf, like as much near as possible for them to the persian gulf uh at the moment, because they know that if this... option actually is chosen by the axis of resistance, it would mean armaged inside of zinus israel, naive, what's your prediction uh, do you predict uh that this war that uh israel by support the us is waging this general war against gaza and the west bank uh is that going to spread to the region to engulf other parts of the region, do you expect a full fledged war? what's these really playing? i think netanyahu... clearly, clearly wants to draw the us into a war with iran, there's no doubt about that in my mind, uh, whether he will be
10:16 pm
successful in doing that, i don't know, uh, the us has its initial signals as to you, dispatch more uh, naval vessels and fighter jets and stuff to the region, um, how far this all goes, i don't know, i don't know uh, uh, i mean, the idea that the u.s. would enter a uh striking in iran or or sort striking in lebanon to assist uh israel's ability to uh kill more palestinian children in gaza uh that seems completely uh uh bankers that this would happen uh there's obviously uh segment of the us establishment that would be happy to war with iran and they want to do that for a long time uh the more sober elements of the us establishment uh
10:17 pm
understand that that's a crazy proposition uh but the netanyahu is clearly trying to to draw a full-fledged war i mean what other what other indication you get then after you assassinate the lead cease fire negotiator you assassinate uh top uh hezball official in beirot uh you're you're blowing up new un school with was that 24 or 48 hours ago, i think it's three or four schools, they've they've bombedd in gaza of the past three days or four days, i mean they they want to light the whole region on fire, um, i don't think... the israeli public understands what might be coming for them if they if this happens uh i i'm also the whole question of like what happens with the other governments these regimes in egypt and jordan and elsewhere that are are are aligned with the us uh uh with washington uh how long uh how much support can they give to uh israel can
10:18 pm
they do what they did in terms of helping you deter the rockets and knock down the rockets and stuff like that? coming from iran, i, i don't know, you would think that at some point there, the these governments will uh, will fall, that there will be enough pressure internally, but at this point, unfortunately, the sort of us power, us israeli power in the region has maintained the the alignment of of kind of geopolitics in a way, despite you know, however many hundred thousand, however many is exactly killed in gaza with... when you bring in everything uh from the direct killings and the indirect killing um, but but yeah, i don't, i don't know if we're going to go, i, i, i hope it's not a full-scale regional war, i think that's not going to be good for for anybody, uh, something needs to be done to stop uh, what israel is doing in gaza, gaza though, that's for sure, and um, you know, hezbulah has been the main force in
10:19 pm
providing some degree of of opposition, obviously also yemen, uh, but um, uh, "you where it goes, i, i don't, i don't really know. okay, now mar, how do you look at this? i mean, netanyahu is insane enough, everybody knows that, you can do anything, but this is what our experts and panelists telling us, different people have been saying, what, they've been reflecting what eve said, and maybe you also would, you agree with that, that this has been a long time ambition and wish by netan yahoo, he wants to drag the us in and to start this, you know, full fledge war, also uh, pushing..." iran and and and gulf the whole region, so uh we have election, elections around the corner in the united states, so given the situation there, and all the support, all the anti-israel rallies around the world, even inside of the united states, uh, what do you expect would happen next? well, i have, i've been working with a couple of journalists right here in beirot over the past couple of days,
10:20 pm
specifically with all the diplomatic waves of the diplomatic people who are coming both to lebanon and to tehran. we've been talking and analyzing the issue and then there's this theory amongst us here in the region that uh because of all the diplomatic efforts to try and um maybe um persuade lebanon and tehran not to uh retaliate they found out that it is near impossible to persuade them to do so the retaliation is 110% happening but what happen is that the diplomatic effort led by the united states of america mediated by many players and region namely jordan and the qatar and oman, and at some point we also saw the russians heading towards iran as well, so there's a big theory going on in the region right now that after the retaliation uh israel might strike bit in certain areas that won't be very much effective just to show the
10:21 pm
word that it retaliated and then everyone will sit on the negotiation table whether directly or indirectly to end uh the genocide on gaza and to find a way for the day after the war and that would be um implemented and established before the upcoming uh election seasons in the united states of america, so that's only a theory, is that correct? i don't know, but this is part of the analysis that we have been talking together, we've been talking with people from damascus, iraq, tehran, even with yemen over the past two days, analyzing all these diplomatic efforts that are happening, and this is what we've got off with, but again you said it, netanyahu is insane and he might go to another level just to make sure that this war never ends, and it's interesting then to see what the us will be doing in practice, other than rather than words. now you've the hez chief also talked about the situation in the gaza strip, the ethnic cleansing, the
10:22 pm
genocidal war raging there, and he said the tel aviv regime doesn't want any land, any holy site for... palestinians, nothing for palestinians, nothing, palestinian should remain, they just want to eliminate palestinians all together, and that it's also the west bank, you know, the uh israeli regime is expanding its elements and line what is land grap policy, they also they are doing this to golan, some parts of golan, so they want no land for palestinians uh beating gaza or the west bank, how do you look at this? well, so smaldraitz uh said uh 24 hours ago that uh that they should stop all food to 2 million palestinians in gaza. that would be the moral thing, but the world won't let us, mean the he just stated openly, minister in the government stated openly we would want to kill them all by starving them to death, mean this is after 10 months of you know following
10:23 pm
elements of that policy uh they they clearly the people in charge of the israeli government they and much of the israeli public they want to uh drive out all palestinians steal all their land and and and then and move into other you know go further into lebanon and jordan and whatever few after that was successful, the more messianic ones would want to go even further. um, this is, this is, there's no doubt about it, i mean the the openly genocidal uh rhetoric uh, the openly genocidal policies again today in the west bank, whole bunch more palestinians killed, uh uh, continued expansion of of illegal colonies and and the you know the international court of justice just ruled two weeks ago now that uh all of this is illegal all of israeli presence it it needs to end
10:24 pm
there should be reparations all un member states need to uh stop assisting uh israel's colonization illegal colonization in the west bank um and yet it uh it continues where you have um the canadian government the foreign minister uh 24 hours ago she's blaming uh iran for destabilizing the region so israel kills 10000 20000 whatever it is in gaza, it steals more palestinian land in the west bank uh blows up uh people in syria and lebanon, assassins the top official in in iran and it's it's iran destabilizing region not israel, i mean this is this is the the thinking in the capitals of ottawa of washington of london um it's... it's remarkable to uh to witness. eva we have one minute left only, let me ask mar this question. marwa, hassan said that for 75 years we were displaced, we and the
10:25 pm
palestinians israel remained put, our factories were ruined, theirs remained intact, but now things have changed, israel is not half of the israel, it used to be, it's powers is weined and they are now suffering what uh people have been suffering, yeah, you have one minute, well in one minute i could tell you... that it is satisfactory to me as a person from south lebanon that her house, i don't know if my house is still up there or not, but i don't really care, it doesn't matter, it's not even worth the pain that the people in gaza are going through, but to be honest with you, the mere fact that we have legal colonial settlers who have been kicked out of occupied palestinian land all the way to tel aviv, living in hotels, some them left the country entirely is satisfactory feeling for the natives of the region and as a resistance supporter uh resistance across the world supporter, i think that this is just justice after 75 years of continuous occupation and aggression, and i think that if they are sane enough, they should leave and never return.
10:26 pm
10:28 pm
10:29 pm
to embark a full-scale military invasion of. well to be frank, i think it's the end for these radies, i i think there's no recourse for them anymore uh, they have uh fallen into a trap of epic proportions. the report that she's just given us is based almost entirely on the the uh report from the institute for national security studies which is a zionist think tank in tel aviv. now you might think from in listening to it that if you were just listening to it without knowing that that this was very pro hisballah report, but actually this is a sinist report in... indicates really doesn't it, the difficulty the legal situation in the uk is a prescribed organization, is an illegal organization, but can you come imagine the institute of national security studies in tel aviv being subject to police action to be arrested for being proved?
10:30 pm
