the saudis decided a divorce. i'm told stories from asia on mountains here. the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching the news, our life from the headquarters and, oh hi, i'm trying to navigate are coming up in the next 60 minutes. israel long shows a series of attacks across the gaza strip pitting multiple targets, including the japan year refugee camp and northern gaza. again, dozens of palestinian men are stripped and taken away. fight is really forces in

northern gossip is really forces carry out grades in the center of it. i'm a lot in the occupied. westbank were also getting reports of reeds and arrests and the cities of hebron and bethlehem renowned palestinian writer poets for an active . this sort of popularity it is filled in and is really here a strike on his phone in gaza. the it's 7 g m t that's 9 am in gaza. where is really forces have intensified their attacks and the northern central and southern parts of the besieged strip in dawn attacks on friday is really shelling struck shelters and the japan, your refuge account. that's in the north setting. one of the structures there on fire, and this comes after a night of airstrikes that killed at least 5 people in the new state as comp. that's at the center of the stress. on thursday, the is really army released the video showing at least

a 100 palestinian men stripped and made to neil on the streets in northern gauze on they've been taking refuge of 3 un run schools and based law here with their families. there's really army later took them away on trucks to an undisclosed location. meanwhile, and they occupied westbank is really forces have storm the refugee camp in the city of co bus killing 3 men there. it also can ducted raids and draw my law in hebron and bethlehem. and these raids less the confrontations with palestinians, honey, my fluids will give us an update from alpha that's in the south of the gaza strip. piney, tell us about the strikes overnight and this morning under optima a yes, during well within the, the past the few hours and as of late hours of last night we're talking about the

350 spinning ends have to be filled in in multiple air strikes. within the past of 24 hours, but more and more is seems to be in tens of tax over night in the northern parts of the jobs trip. namely a big lie on the tunnel and city and the right and your body refugee camp. where and not only residential homes been targeted, but also a, we're talking about his schools and on medical centers, any clinics in the areas, we're completely destroyed by relentless error strikes here in the, in the central part of the gas turban area that was uh, within the 1st few weeks of the work was designated as a safe area for people do that. evacuated to have been targeted repeatedly. and as of they are in the hours of this morning again and the site, right. or if the cam was targeted, more residential homes been destroyed, causing people to be display is one more time for some of those people. it is the

2nd and the 3rd time of being a dis, this place here in the southern part of. 7 is a particularly fun, eunice came under heavy bombardment and artillery, showing l. o. of last night, an early hours of this morning we're talking about a that is was the full i had been road that's at the center of hon. you and it's the coming to do an area better known as a block 5 as well as her maid. another section that's very close to the vicinity of nasir hospitality. we're talking about many of the neighborhoods that are very densely populated and a lot of a lot of people who. 1 stranded in this area and you could not make it out of it due to the heavy state artillery selling and mass bombardments of the area. as far as we know, the idea made it clear that the uh, the hun eunice is in the red zone of,

of these military operation. and the scenario it was going to be similar to what happened in the northern parts a and dodd's on a city. in rough, a city here, we're talking about an area that is located on the, on the road that is connected, tanya, ernest and drop off the game under heath a bombardment. a bite is really relentless. there's practice throwing at least a 3 residential home on this fraud. and of course, these homes were full of people. we're talking about people who are still under the rubble is there is a little that can be done to rescue whoever is still under the rebels. given the lack of equipment and machinery, people use their bare hands. and even when we, when we think when we talk about this, we're not there, but it's some sort of a of willow coordinator or official rescue operation. we're talking about people neighbors and local weather and try to help as much sense as the, as they can with their, their how to remove those revels. the reason when we're talking about this is because the civil defense at

a department and the gaza strip has been completely a reduce to the lowest level of function given all the difficulties and the hardships involved. as a result of, of this were maybe the worst of what happened last night is those surveillance, attacking drones, hovering, get a very low altitude over a rough ice to be covering the entire city, causing a great deal of panic as they were running this. uh, what is the, this is kind of the area and what seems to be an attempt by the, these really military to know exactly how many people here or it was an attempt to search for whatever the identify as a target. but anyway, it's honey on me, ask you a great deal of tonic concern as people were, words from project visit drones, scan gun explored in any of these given targets identified by these really mother turn. jaime, look, we heard just

a few moments ago from an assigned brigades. they're saying that they supported an attempt by the is really army and soldiers to rescue one of the is really prisoners . can you clarify what exactly happened and what you're hearing on the grounds about this is we're also got some of these reports, but as the we need to get the confirmation where exactly the location of those of that at tempt by the is really military a to conduct the rescue for what, for one of the captives we, we were what we were likely the, the statements a or the, the reports are likely pointing a ton unit as of this one that there is heavy military activities going on. and then while the student doesn't exactly see where the location is, but there are speculation that this where might be the attempt by these really

commanders who would try to rescue one of the one of the captive. but of course, that did not a go as a plan and they were not able to, they were waiting for more confirmation on the exactly the time of this operation. when did it happen? and the exact location on told, then we find it really very difficult. you to disable communication. it depend exactly point all of these and verify all of this information coming either from gaza or the city of tanya is the coming hours. we would we hope to have more information about this. okay, you'll keep us across the story then for the time being honey. thank you so much for the update for a bit of stuff in the south of the gaza strip. let's not bring an estimate but they had, he's a political analyst and president of the united voices for america, that's a civic and get is of an organization based in washington dc. welcome to algebra 0 just to just uh, i mean give me your initial readings about the, the developments overnight and this morning or the corresponding just telling us multiple airstrikes, drones flying very low above the skies of gaza. and then we saw these pictures of

about a $100000.00 young men being stripped, kneeling in the north, at the gaza strip. it's like something out of sci fi movie where they're scanning for any survivors, anybody that's still living and targeting them to kill them. it's horrific and you know, detaining all these innocent civilians and stripping them down and parading them for the world to see is the type of psychological warfare to intimidate and break the policy and people the people it and as of for them to fully submit to leave as a to deep populate, this is the, the plan, it's obvious to all of us that there's cop trying to cause of much infrastructure damage as possible to make of as a place that people can survive or lived in the future. can you say that this is a race against time for israel? what do you mean by that? they're running out of time. international means obviously it's running against them. the you and general secretary has involved article $99.00, which is unprecedented. the world's attention is now putting maximum pressure, or at least they're saying that they're trying to, to put pressure on his rope to stop this carnage,

to end the ongoing genocide there. so they know it's a race against time before they have to stop. in the meantime, they want to cause as much destruction as possible and to make it impossible for passive is to continue to live in that as the or if anything, make the footprint of as a smaller look nice. and you said earlier this week a, this is according to is really media. he said that there are huge demonstrations in western capitals. we need to apply counts for pressure. is there any sign that the political pressure that you speak off actually might get as real to stop or might even threaten the us arms shipments that are sent to israel over and over. it's hard to say um, definitely these raises are not gonna stop by themselves. they're not going to stop or they're going to keep going because they have fascist within that government that have the genocidal inch and they're gonna keep going until somebody stops them the united states can. i'm not sure if the will, of the administration is still there, but mounting pressure within that the democratic party is putting pressure. it's just a matter of how many more the people that they're willing to accept,

but definitely is making the united states look bad. and a by them and the administration have to make their calculations and when they can step in. obviously, international pressure in the allies of the united states, putting pressure on them to act could eventually lead to some sort of a ceasefire in the future. but talk to me about the space for free speech and the us right now, because i know that your organization focuses on bringing minorities into policy right just earlier this week, we also saw a congressional resolution past that equates anti zionism with anti semitism. also that resolution condemning that slogan from the river to the sea. so to what expense, the expenses that space. so free for spring free speech drinking in the new way it is. and then how will it affect the situation? and it's definitely true for it. it's, it is shrinking, there are the, you know, these regular i'd be interested. he says, trying to sign was any type of descent or any type of house, the narrative or any cause for cease far. you just the other day the leading the pro is really organizations including the audio a pack them others

a j. c form. this a lions, a coalition called box over 7 projects where they're going to put so much more effort into silencing individuals. that question, what's happening with as obviously equating this, this resolution equating implies zionism with anti semitism, is uh, dilutes the meaning of anti semitism itself. but there are many people that were against that. however, because of the power of the lobby and the amount of money that they invest in american politics. so for a politics they're able to pass it through. but 90 to some 92 democrats voted present, they didn't vote for it. and then the number of others voted against that. you can basically, those people are not on board. and i think the democratic party realizes that. so hopefully that will get reversed later. but they're basically the, the pro israel lobby and pro is really are trying to use congress to redefine the word for anti semitism that the whole world knows you can look it up in the dictionary. it's not gonna take

a resolution to change that to change what the definition is and it's now becoming that a free speech is less of less available in the united states when it comes to the matter of israel. thank you so much. thank you right now. so thanks for the united nations humanitarian, she says negotiations with israel to deliver additional aid. so guys are promising, but the 2nd phase of israel's offensive is making things difficult. martin griffith says talk so focused on reopening a crossing west foot off. we do not have a humanitarian operation in southern gaza that can be cooled by that name anymore. that the pace of the military assault in southern gaza is a repeat of the assault in northern guns that it has made no play safe

for civilians in southern gaza. which had been the cornerstone of the humanitarian plan to protect civilians and thus to provide a to them. but without place to safety. that kind of as intact as as what we have at the moment in gaza. northern gaza even more difficult. but in gaza, where we have trucks still crossing daily through the roof of crossing is at best humanitarian opportunism to try to reach to some roads which is still accessible. which havent been mined or destroyed to some people who can be found with some food or some water or some other supply can be given. but it's a program of, of paternalism,

erratic, it's something dependable. and frankly, it's not sustainable. foreign ministers from the middle east. we'll meet with the us sector state anthony blinking and washington. later on friday, the buys and administration says that israel needs to do more to protect civilians potty go hand reports in washington dc at the white house defiance as the calls grow to stop the suffering and gaza look. and we certainly share the concerns that so many of others have concerns, including the secretary general about the humanitarian situation in gaza. tell me name me one more nation. any other nation that's doing as much as the united states to alleviate the pain and suffering of the people of god, you can't. but aid is not quite the same as using its influence on israel to stop the targeting of civilians. the us made clear it did not want to use really military using the same level of force in the south of gaza as it did in the north,

only to be ignored. it is imperative, it remains imperative that israel put a premium on civilian protection and there does remain a gap between exactly what what i said when i was there, the intent to protect civilians and the actual results that we're seeing on the ground. the or secretary states is israel should improve how it communicates safe areas, allowing more time for people to get there from a broader area and that they need to be able to access food medicine and water when they arrive. and progressive members of congress continue to protest, calling for a permanent ceasefire and accusing israel of war crimes. the targeting of civilians is a war crime. the targeting of medical facilities is a war crime. the star violation and the withholding of water and electricity is a war crime. the collective punishment of 2300000 people is

a war crime. and we refused to be silent. us secretary of state mtv blinking announced that he is going to have some visitors on friday. the foreign ministers we believe from cutter, saudi arabia, turkey, egypt, jordan and the palestinian authority are going to be in washington. they are going to meet together. we believe they will likely have a press conference and then come here to the state department to speak with the secretary. so if there's going to be any significant push back on the us, full throated support of israel, it will likely come from them particle hanging alger 0 as the state department. at least 5 palestinians have been killed and the inside all refugee camp and they occupied westbank after the is really military carried out. yet another rage is really forces prevented several ambulances from reaching the injured he occupied. westbank has seen increasingly forceful daily rate since the start of israel's were on gaza. at least $271.00 palestinians have been chosen the occupied west bank since october, 7th, and thousands. i've been detained. we have had, i've been,

how many is with us just joining us from on my list so that not the 1st time that this particular comp and file has been rated this week. tell us what you're hearing . well, the rate has ended. it started as around $615.00 local time. that would be for 15, g m t. as you said, at least 5 people were killed in that raid. when these really forces ended that refugee camp, but uh, followed by boot doors, or there has been an exchange of gunfire. quite intense. stand by the police. 10 is living inside the does that refugee camp. we know that visit police, a dozen people who had been wounded up at that number could be rising very soon as what last thing we heard is that the ambulance is, was still transporting the injured at to the hospital. now these relays have not retreated. so the situation seems to be under control, but refuge account is whether is

a part of whether it's here an era. my la la zones telemundo or any other for a near and the rep as you can see a better them have been the focus of the raids since october 7th and to the where you are in are i'm a lot of that was also the focus offer rate overnights. oh yes, absolutely. that is the 2nd night in a row that is really forced has actually come here to the center of ramallah. now the focus of the raid last night where the 2 shops here in the background, the was the red, one with the red coca cola side and the one with the green and white banner. that's a full body shop of that we spoke to the owners of the shops and they told us that these really sold as well after the c c t v cameras. because the night before they, they had been clash, some sort of confrontation, industries with palestinians and southern gun fire, west charles. so they were off just this c, c, c,

v of footage to pinpoint who was behind that. now my colleagues, charles stratford was up last night and he at the actually early this morning and he actually witnessed the right as it was ongoing. the reason why i'm standing back from the window is this, this right started about 2 hours ago. we have is riley soldiers tightens of his ready. so just in a number of vehicles that have positioned themselves directly under the building. and what we all know, our secretary to do is go to the age slowly towards the window and keep our heads down and try and get you some of these live pictures of, of the soldiers. you have soldiers in jeeps to my right on the street here. and sucker it keeps them. we'll be able to show you some pictures. as we have is ready, soldiers, i can see 3 or 4 standing by the main round about the i'm what you're looking at

the military vehicles. you can see the ministry vehicles directly underneath this. that is the sound of what all you from is the cold sound grenades used to keep the crowds back. i can see to gas rising on the street directly across the way that we haven't heard any live far yet. yesterday that was a right. it's similar, right? this is much bigger than yesterday's right inside central ramallah and they will not caches, but there was certainly um, guns used. we understand. um there was like 5 being 5 by members of the um resistance you can see that. so 2 guys kind of said that there's just being fired into this. so i reckon you're looking at an area spreading out from the spreading out from the, the main round about here. i'm an hour of about a 10200 meters in pretty much every direction. we saw the white in the building

about 10 minutes ago. they were breaking into a mobile phone shop. and it took them, i suppose, a good hoff and a half to get inside. last night's right seem to focus on a publishing house. and the is really ministry left signs in the publishing house saying that they accusing the owner of, of supposing how much we understand that it was focused on it was targeted because it's being accused of the, of the, propagating the propaganda pro. how much propaganda i can see another 2 guys kind of step being 5 across the street. the. what's surprising, so far, we haven't seen, we haven't seen the hundreds of, of use that normally come out on her rocks at the military when they come in and situations like they. but this is red because it's only the last couple of days that we've seen these rates directly in the center of the administrative capital of, of the palest,

any of the occupied west bank of the protest. didn't know. so i'd say no palestinian police certainly visible on the streets here, which as you can well imagine. so the situation increasingly tense here, what time in the morning is around 5 in the morning and no sign that whatever mission sees right immediately have come here to do is in any way complete then as you rightly say that we're also rides earlier in hebron and in that does not home wish the world most as, as best with him. we understand the number of people a risk, and at least one person injured. and i'll leave you. now with the sound of us another seemingly, it's a, a gas or a so cool sound, good night being launched as the situation here on folds a. so that was the scene of the overnight. we have once again with us estimate the data was a political analyst and presidents of the united voices for america, that's

a civic engagement organization that's based in washington dc. so when you look at the situation in the west bank, we know that so far, 471 palestinians have been killed in the occupied west bank. that's this year, 262 killed since october 7th. there is an increase in rates and increased interests . where, where does the situation go to in the west bank? what do you think is going to happen? well this is for the proof that this is not just the one cause or this is a one all palestinians. this is not just one from us. it's a war on palestine and to prevent the palestinian state from ever forming their taking advantage of his release with all the attention on as a to carry out other atrocities in the west bank to rate as they will. and there's also a concern that they're trying to provoke, trying to provoke another intifada or something violence to or up. so that way they can use that as a pretext. right? now they have a pre text. i'm going after him as in positive, but they don't have a similar predicts in the west bank and they're getting warnings from washington.

other western capital saying do not continue what you're doing in the west bank. but violence starts interrupting if they're, you know, a suicide bombings or other attacks on civilians that are coming out of the west bank on settlers for example. they can continue to use that as a pretext to go after, in the very similar way, way as they have destroyed a, as for the most part. and at the same time, you have somebody like been of year who is into a minister that's arming settlers, given them weapons to go after a founding their own militias. and not holding those people accountable. it's a, it's a ticking time bomb. what's happened? what about the palestinian authority in the west bank? would it be or of their interest for the situation sort of to remain as is a not to explode as you're saying or the other or, or if we do see that violence, i mean, how will they react to? because so far, the palestinian authority has been relatively silent while they're in a very difficult situation in a way,

part of their mandate is to police the palestinians. but how can you police the community and the people when they see their relatives are getting massacred. and with as soon possible situation in one way, they're trying to fight for palestinian statehood, trying to fight for postuma rice. but the same time they are very limited and what they can do and the weapons that they have is supposed to be used to police. there can be used as we saw in these res, they're not on the street. so israel can go in into the west bank and do whatever they want without any, you know, permission. and i'm not sure what, right? obviously, you know, also that there has been security coordination between the problem. definitely there's definitely you can do coordination and that is angry. given that we've seen protest against the housing authority by posting this thing. you're not doing enough and you're calling for that. you know regina change and you know, against the, the, the president himself. so there are people calling for change and likely as this whole situation is over, there is going to be some political changes that will happen there. but definitely this is not going to make israel any safer what they're doing and present and what

they're doing in the west bank. if anything, they're in flaming situations. and it's again, like it's been said by many people. so taking time long, it's going to explode. it's just a matter of time. all right, thank you so much. thank you so much. i or was where the air strikes have targeted a home in does killing the renowned palestinian writer poets, an activist sort of 5 to lie to you. he co founded a use lead palestinian, a non profit project called we are not numbers. it tells the stories behind palestinians in the news and advocates for they show their human rights. but it has also edited the book called gaza writes back a collection of short stories written by young adults. 6 members of his family, including his 2 siblings, were also killed in that strike. we've spoken to several friends of the for claudia and they reflected on his work and legacy for some of what they have to say. the fact was, i was actually my professor at the university and he told me,

poor truth. he told me english. and then we worked together for the past couple of years. 0, one thing i remember him, i always remember him for one thing that everybody really a student of has a reading and t of has every person who knew him met him, talked to him even just for him on the phone with her. with him and the him for is his love for story telling because of how the story and his firm belief that by this time will be freed and that we'll see it's a tree. and the way to do that is to keep talking about punish, trying to keep putting in the right to the stories of post timing to see. but if i'm still here with someone who spoke to, to thousands of on twitter,

his daily, his voice was, you know, i was blas to, to, to the world. the hope that people would listen to their stories and, and realize that they every day oppression. and people only pay attention to gaza when there's a warm and there's violence. but they every day exit their everyday existence was a struggle just to for survive. and that's what their stories were trying to tell people to just read them. so i hope that we're numbers are right. it's going to come out of the stronger, and the young people will fall in his footsteps and realize that words are powerful, are powerful. i mean, a he, he did lots of people knew about were 5 through his book through his poetry. he did tours abroad, and that's why you're hearing about him today because so many people loved him for that. so i'm hoping that more young people will fall in a split step, tell the stories, and what we need the world to do though, is to pay attention to them. and not just when those violence read the story for everyday life. and that will show you that they need they need freedom and

independence, any dignity, not just aid, is still a heads on al jazeera. we hear why many say criticism of israel's were on gaza. it should not be labeled as and to somebody the had lower. they were seeing some very unsettled weather conditions across europe, as we end the week on the freight. we go where the systems pulling in from the atlantic, the latest, all that moving across the se, taking those unsettled conditions to, to a kia, as well as greece. we have a warnings out for possible thunder storms, as well as strong the winds and cooler conditions for athens on friday. behind that, another one, bringing west of the rain across central parts of the mediterranean drops and dropping some snow across the moving parts of italy and the alpine region

stretching all the way up into germany and scan to navy a behind that we will see some sunshine come back in for northern parts, the fronds and southern england, but not for long. we go to another system that's gonna pull and we're going to very heavy rain to the likes of bridges. and the island of island was blustery winds on saturday. that rain stretches all the way down across fronds, into northern areas of spain, but still from sunshine and rooms to be found in a very south of spring. that's not the case. however, across the northeast on northern parts of europe, wintry conditions pushing across no way into sweden, continuing to move that cold as the east will see, minus 15 degrees celsius in moscow through saturday. the president biden says once a 2 state solution for palestinians and israelis like this, anybody believe it's doable?

what this is real for on god. so say it back to us foreign policy and what of long term consequences for the region and the world? a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line. this is will weeks of to run to rain has done to towns, villages and farm land on the banks of the town of reba. more than a 170000 people have been forced from their homes by floods, hearing kenya from the heavy call to you can really get a sense of the scale of these plots and thousands of farms the beans of managed crops, destroyed. and this comes off the back of one of the brass browns in this region in about 12 feet. yes, scientists say the climatic trends can only be stopped by a global reduction in common emissions. many people here can barely afford fossil fuels,

but they pay the highest price. the reminder for top stories this hour is really forces of the chain. several palestinian men from 3 un run schools and baseline. they were stripped and separated from their families. at least 5 college minions of entailed in the fed. all refugee camp in the occupied west bank after the is really army carried out. another raids is really forces prevented several ambulances from reaching the injury. and just really forces have intensified their attacks on the giovanni a refugee camp and northern falls off. this commons officer overnight strikes that shows that these 5 people in the north side has comp and the central part of this story journalist most moved up with sam. it has more on that strike on job idea

the food i'm and i will talk to about the holes situation and the refugee camp under the is really sells and gas bombs are non stop for hours. the campus being massively targeted by the is rarely for us and the children and women, the elderly people with respiratory problems i suffer from suffocation and this is the same here in the refuge account. here's really tanks are advancing towards the jump out of the a police station. this is the scene and the situation here, i'm the, the convention on the prevention of the crime of genocide defines genocide as acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or in part a national us nichol racial or religious group. so the sacks include killing people, causing mental or physical harm, crating conditions that lead to a group's physical destruction, preventing birds and forcibly moving children as

a big takes a look at the war on gaza. 2 months on, on the massacres, that have taken place possibly tools. schools and refugee comes from the all night, i've know, removing the bodies from the nissan rob of the children. we pulled them from 3 locations. eliza force displacement of people. their work to electricity and fuel control is waiting for states have left nothing untouched, and no one garza unaffected women and children killed. entire families wife typed the former director of the you in human rights office in new york. resigned over the organizations failure to stuff which is taking place in garza, i feel quite confident human rights lawyer in saying that what i see unfolding in garza and beyond is genocide. watson folded on my success, coach act,

dave. the other had the baptist test to respond to nearly 500 people and try samuel killed them. repeat to the tax on the jump body, a refugee camp, the, the us, the who were schools run by the united nations also struck. one is already happening when the is really government orders. the evacuation of northern is uh uh it was committing genocide as of that moment. israel's intentions have been clear from the beginning and the 1st month and was on in my and daily sagal. many behind them is on the why getting bit through what israel has said. what is leaders have said, from the top down from the prime minister down is more the eradication of concert using genocide,

a language section which has been translated into action by these rate emitted evicting mess destruction and targeting the people of palestine. genocide, road costs to the world in real time. i said big to 0, around 1900000 of guys us 2300000 residents are now internally displaced. and many of the shelters they've been seeking refuge and have come under is really attack or diplomatic editor james base takes a closer look. just 5 days after the start of the bombardment of garza is ro to the population of kansas city and the rest of the north to immediately leave that homes that smaller than a 1000000 people. they dropped leaflets from the ordering people to move south below. what do you guys have a wetlands area that runs across the strip? this is widely condemned by the u. n. and 8 agencies. one international lawyer says

it almost certainly amounts tubal crime. when you look at the, the context around the warnings and the following military action, it is not a stretch to say that that is that it constitutes ethnic classes. and it is, it is exactly that. but he didn't attend there in november, people in town, eunice, when many of those from the north of sled would tell to move again, this time, the leaflets coach them to go to the nearest designated shelter schools and other facilities run by the un agency under uh, oh, designated shelters, that old i but garza but $85.00 of them of also being hit during the conflict. according to the un, then not safe joining the week long see spot. people who were forcibly displaced from their homes in the north had hoped to return. but his riley troops prevented them from doing so. but as soon as it ended, there was another warning from the as riley it back to a rafa. then another leaf left with a q r code on it, which linked to a website,

specify exec city blocks to be evacuated. of course of the 2 months of bombardment . most palestinians in gauze have lead the internet, no electricity, and then to confuse things even further. another leaflet was dropped, which said stay home. certainly when you, when you are giving civilians the possibility to safely leave the home before there's been a direction and then your targeting them in the areas in which you say they are, they are safe. then the cost isn't something that falls under the floor and in a sense of mental prime, that's known as a fitness act, misleading civilians. unlike false transfer, affinity is a crime. i'm the international law. it lets us we took it on pop a has an is really historian an author of the estimate cleansing of palestine. he's joining us from high for welcome to alj a 0 mr. poppy. and you yourself have been vocal in saying what's unfolding in garza is

a genocidal situation. tell us why you have that point of view and from what you've seen, what makes you reach that conclusion as well? i think it's important to mention that even before the savings of a. ready the, the situation that was created or the circumstances and the conditions of living that were developing and goes up ever so. ready the beginning of these early siege of the strip were also causing people to die, just because of who they are enough because of what they did. which is one of the definitions of genocide and, and they were dying as a result of an intentional policy to stimulate the states. and i called that kind of policy. and that is before the service that looked over increment of genocide policy. but of course, what we see now is the following message mess,

caling and displacement that can lead to for the best unfortunately. and the numbers involves the targets, the language and the schools that accompanies these uh, operations. uh as, as. ready uh, the language used from the prime minister down to the is raising columbus on the ground leads very little room for doubting that what is being done is a massive operation of keeling and displacement. and as i say displacement, it also mentioned to this and therefore it fits unfortunately every known destination as we have either by the united nation full by international leave, those attribute, those for the time on general side, i think it is be on be on doubts. now that this is the right streaming of what's going on, let me ask you this. i mean the us government has not determined that it's genocide by so this is really not surprising. i mean, their determination is

a political one and given their unconditional supports for the to israel, it's probably safe to say that they wouldn't determine such a thing or at least at this stage. but why do you think that any other country hasn't invoked the genocide convention yet a little? i don't think they will very soon unfortunately. and this is the result of an effective, as i understand, is really low being for more than 70 years. trying to the create an exception. the status is when, when these comments will grimes such as genocide and they are provided with this in unity by governments. and other a lead groups, especially in the west and the global noise. and therefore the facts on the ground are not going to confuse and. ready run through this reading, the boss unconditional support in the north, condemned, the ethnic cleansing upon the sign in 1948 in the various mosque because it is

a committed since 48. no do. did they do anything against the massive killing of but this thing is in the west bank, so i'm not surprised, but it's important also to remember this statement by the american uh 6 to your state. ready and he said after 10, so when, when the number of tests reach 10000, he said we are now the numbers which are too much. namely, from the american perspective, 9999 people dying lays ready bombing off of them. children was something was wide for america to react only about $10000.00. so i don't know which number and the american state department has the mind. i mean. ready it's closer too much again, and maybe even willing to admit that the numbers are reaching such a propulsion that maybe the 10 channels side would also be used by the american diplomats, at least not by the american present. the right of mr. coffee. i mean,

to what extent do you think that these western countries are complicit in? what's happening right now in gaza and an underscore on, on palestinians. do you think that they will ever be accountability? i mean, if you compare what's happening right now with the next about back in 1948, i believe that you said that this is still an ongoing inductor, but at the time these were, these were provided with a lot of support from the west. we still see that now is the west enabling this ethnic cleansing and this not by this time around on yes it does. the nice thing that. ready connection because that was. ready in the west, in particular, was silent about the ethnic, cleansing united food, the aging, which half of the brothers dines population have a better sense of relation was expelled and off of its villages destroyed the western powers, decided to be silent about it and not to condemn is red, so the message was to the young stay to visit this ethnic cleansing is

a legitimate method by his web to cheap. it's political goals, and this is a way of collaborating with his way by providing that kind of immunity. now this continued from 94 date until today, i mean we, we forget that the 67 is really expensive, 800000 understands it from the west bank. and since 6078 expelled lower than 600. so the other thing is for both the west bank and the gaza strip and all that time the, the western world that was very well aware of what was going on, never condemned as well. no. ready no retaliated in, in, in the formal function. so any other pressure. so the, as long as this is the message from the wisdom that countries. ready very little reason for as well to be that it's actions. i'm going to need it into a little bit of crisis or of the questioning it's international legitimacy and non

profit. we thank you so much for joining us from haifa. thank you. of israel's were on dogs, a head start up intense opposition in many parts of the world. and often voice is critical of is really military is sold or branded as anti semitic. but it's rep rentals, reports. many activists on scholars say legitimate criticism should not be regarded as races simply in order to stifle critics charges of anti semitism have been leveled at demonstrators, opposed israel's more on gaza across the world. but one prominent jewish anti war activist says that's completely inappropriate for myself. as a jew, i do this work out of the my core jewish values. tell me every single human life is precious. and i do this fighting for a future of judaism beyond the violence of zionism. inflating anti semitism

with opposition to the israeli government's policies or ideology is so so dangerous . it's dangerous for palestinians and supporters of palestinian rights who are losing their jobs and being docked and harassed online. and it's also incredibly dangerous to the fight against real anti semitism. anti semitism is on the rise. analysts say in acts such as swastikas and hate speech scrolled in an upscale new york town, as well as threats of violence on college campuses and other public institutions. semitism is a real and rising problem in this country, and it's a very, very serious charge. but it is being cynically used against people who simply support palestinian human rights. and that is tells you something it tells you that the other side on this defenders of israeli policy can no longer win the argument on marriage. this week. the republican majority in the us house of representatives passed a resolution identifying anti zionism as anti semitism. we live in a climb within the united states and which is,

is very difficult to speak out against is really work crimes because we live in a political climate. the tries to shut it down at a turn. both is riley and us officials have drawn comparisons between our mazda is attacked on is really tons on november 7th, killing 1200 people to the nazi holocaust. it is rarely borne, holocaust historian rejects the analogy. it is not connected to the heart of course, in any way it's a, it's a completely different phenomenon. so speaking about other services and about nazis about the um, the close uh in this context is really meant to, uh, take this row off the hook for what it is doing all the one home and to bring in a greater emotional and heightening of emotions in israel as part of interest, if occasion of what interested engaged in at the moment. a serious war over words

and definitions as the real war rages on. rob reynolds, l g 0. the european union remains divided on the war. some countries support is real defensive, while others say that it's disproportionate, but the failure to come up with a united position is damaging the in you. standing on the international stage, natasha butler reports from brussels. on a trip to the gulf earlier this week, french presidency manual macro cooled for an immediate cease find goals and question to israel's and game, but change of 10 from the store to the will when power is unequivocally back to israel. so i think we're at a point where he is rarely, authorities are going to have to define their objective and desired goal. more precisely what is the total destruction of hum us and does anyone think it's possible well from this position that has shifted in recent weeks? that of some of the member states has note, the israel goal is

a war has defined to the blog and his top institutions will the use agreed on condemning have must his october 7th attack. it is fail to find a collective response to subsequent this rate, the attacks that have to thousands of palestinians, including children, countries including austria, the czech republic and germany stone, the defend israel. yes. understand that seemed the dna of every democratic politician in germany is that we say never again, a germany was responsible for the show for the whole cost. so we have a very great uh, sponsibility to us the security of israel with some countries including belgium island in spain, criticized israel's response as disproportionate. the spanish m. e p says israel should be sanctioned and his lead his boot before the international criminal court . and it's almost obviously done though, we are calling for diplomatic economic, commercial and military relations between to you in case we have to be summer and, and embark on the purchase and sale of watkins a month ago. for nearly 2 use, the

e. u has been united on ukraine bodies, inability to speak with one voice when it comes to the war on cause a is damaging its reputation as a foreign policy pay of the euro fans. i've tried for over a year when the support of the global solve for its stance on ukraine, on the basis of commitment to universal normally like international law. but when we show that we are, you know, in another conflict and this conflicts, not so committed to the same norms, then we undermine our position. 2 months into the conflict, the use become most of your cool about the suffering garza, it is increase. tremendous aaron aid for palestinians and the east front policy chief schools on israel to respect international would know something the blog failed to do early on. but as long as member states remain defeated, the bronx ability to influence what happens next in the middle east is likely to be diminished. natasha butler, i'll do 0 brussels rumsey, and also is

a palestinian dutch actor and writer who has been vocal in trying to change the dutch mindset on garza. he recently wrote a piece highlighting the idea of human dignity and how it applies to palestinians in gaza. here's a story in his own words. my name is that obviously now says i am an actor writer and a poet from mixed dutch palestinian descent palestinians. and the western media do not tend to be portrayed as humans. they really get a face, let alone that, that dreams their achievements. the endeavors are being portrayed. i posted something on facebook and on the instagram that this went viral, then pollutants a few day approach. me saying when did you like to make a statement on the national television and i have never expected this to go viral,

let alone base to go. viral typically on this part of my anger was of course that our own prime minister expressed his unconditional support for israel and he even added, i'm rephrasing that. it doesn't happen that often that innocent civilians are being targeted in this conflict. so apparently he doesn't see palestinians as innocent civil citizens. that striking isn't it? i wrote an article that has that and starts off as a sort of a philosophical essay on about the question, what is dignity? i think that by looking away from horrible images from news that we don't want to be confronted with by looking away from the heart that is currently taking place in gaza, makes us the void of our own dignity. we are in a position as dutch people to look away because we live in

a very privileged world. things like freedom and even like humanity is something that we feel entitled to. but freedom is never yours. humanities, never yours, dignities never yours. you will have to try 1st to earn it and then to keep it are from musicians to actors. performing artists in bosnia and herzegovina, say very united in solidarity for palestinians in gaza. the war in the balkans ended almost 30 years ago, but survivors recognize the suffering in the strip. ida had similar such reports from sarajevo using music as a form of resistance during the bosnian war in to ninety's actress and medium of
