time from the overnight travel last one, although as you go to express the frustration up canopus has worked to the dairy farmer in the southern netherlands for decades. but he fits his family's tradition of foaming may not survive for future generations. men security, those days when people are increasingly fed up because of all the rules and regulations and maybe they're doing this on purpose to make us quit forming all this. it was adults group, the farm is defense fund, the f t f that formed the core of this gathering. and brussel 0, those like up and his friend, mountain whole giving, driven by a desperation to sustain the way of life, of a mix. doing if we don't do anything that will work all over us, and we've been phonetic of fighters for 5 for years. and we're still seeing the results with the f d. s. pharmacy today represent upfront and to be more than you are paying was full . so they opened out 5 political pumps and just days ahead of european union call them entry elections. pharmacy,
7:31 am
they say they're hoping to tap into widespread concerns about government over rates and traditional values to role, but climate focus regulations that are affecting their livelihood. mainstream fall, i mean, group stayed away from this gathering. those some funding communities have become fertile ground for europe, right? wing policies and politicians like patricia on your front. it is the when is that the farm is, are creating within the general public. that is so important because it has to do with food security. it has to do with silver antiques. it has to do with maintaining the vitality of approval finishes, a perceived pressure from regulate as much as why the price increases that the european public also feels say some economists. these are people who feel that they are under siege by most government, having ever tighter environmental restrictions and protecting the environment, often in their view, at the expense of the agricultural sector. for many of the pharmacy,
7:32 am
i say the natural world is important, but that job should remain a political priority to this weekend. that will be votes. nope. pitfalls that could push politicians to rethink their approach. to the months i'll just arrow brussels, belgium, and police and hong kong have detained at least 2 people who have been mocking the 35th anniversary of their chinaman square of protests. the events had been brought to publicly in hong kong until the introduction of beijing's national security. a little back in 2020 and june 9th 99 chinese troops fight on pro democracy protest as, as in march. so i'm a huge square in central beijing, and that's it for me down jordan, for now the news continues here on, i'll just say right off the bottom line is that you, thanks for watching the israel's war on gossip be coming in forever and walk across the united states,
7:33 am
why are the student protests for palestine being met with military style track down wide is by to insist on 0 consequences for israel in its war on gaza. the quizzical look of us politics, the bottom line a hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question with a totally fractured leadership and with international pressure mounting over as we're on gaza. we're is, is real heading. let's get to the bottom line. the . it's been 9 months of roll atlas bombs of tanks and sniper bullets of death and destruction by israel and gaza. but it feels like the war is just starting all over again. negotiations for a cease fire. take place here and there. but any new deal seems like an illusion. now that is real alone controls all entry points into the gaza strip. food and other supplies are barely getting in the is really army finds itself fighting on several fronts and gaza on the border with lebanon and all throughout the westbank
7:34 am
with no light at the end of this very dark tunnel inside is really government. some politicians are objecting summer calling for new elections and threatening to a band and is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. seeing that his talk of total victory in gaza is a point to just keep him in office. and a catchy slogan that in the long run could be catastrophic for both israel and palestine. so what's going on? and what's the in game for israel today we're talking with the don't levy a veteran journalist with us really newspaper high rats. and he's also author of the punishment of gaza rate to be with you today and, and thanks for joining us. let me ask you about is real and it is real scenes. i'm really interested in this question on what it means from your perspective to be pro is real in today is, is real. your speed, my, my opinion, which is not the very common one of being in general in front of it as
7:35 am
a means to bush is the continental peaceful war. been a genuine frontal phase or cares about the future. mean spilled pressure is uh to put an end to the above the compression. nothing but base. what the americans are doing and others is you know, like a drug and they supply the drug or the is bull money. you wouldn't be very happy about the tv, the bible drugs, but that's both friendship and that smoke care. how has israel's response sort of blended every one on the palestinian side into being a villain? it was really a very decisive moment. the moment that change the or is ready society in many ways because the last to rain. so things vary based care where crushed on the stay
7:36 am
at these various, almost all of the including the v 6 of the less. these came to the conclusion that after those of process ease of the 7th of october there's an you gave me to know is where it has the right to do what every 2. busy months does, i must be punished in any possible way. there is no place for any and proceed to the temper of augusta, the victims of the church at all that i see. and unfortunately, this is betty on this moment when we are almost 8 months after the whole stuff is as you said, that israel's essential behavior and to some degree you imply that's impunity came from this belief that the bible, that this writers notice that american guarantor and this nuclear research lab down the road essentially gave it this unparalleled unconstrained ability to behave any way at once. do you see any part of that equation?
7:37 am
if i frame that correctly coming on done based upon a that's executive what they made. i meant that is what it is, trusting the bible, the more now and the ending auto course we, we don't have to forget this being the victims of the order goes. makes is riley's believes that they have the right to do whatever they want. they, the only trick that i can see now is it really the way these writers will start to realize that there is no towards the guarantee that or this will happen as they will continue to be a is a, be a before the story. but a war they already indications for these you are now in dc and you know, what's going on in the campuses, in the united states, the next generation of decision makers in america, in those congress it's, they, we treat is entirely different. this would be a new generation was
7:38 am
a new approach probably say was a good approach. we truly say ok, we are spending so much of our tech space money on is right, which is an american choice. is easiest way to use the most need based on those, but they must be some foundations for this. i've seen it always those i'm going to dish. so i really see that seems might change now after the 7th of october and not necessarily for the bed. it gave him his rate, which really feel that he is that the show the salary strains is a better. here's what i'm interested in get don't. the levy being on this island then is real and how many people are in your island and is your population increasing or decreasing? as this conflict goes on, i see we can or need to met in the public for
7:39 am
a very few left. that's a jaws a day, posts 1st reading so but the other day i was sitting in a cafe in the to the sale which is really quite the expected place. and to my, my friend was a swedish or right to the door of a sudden the woman came to me and really almost touched me with her face and said only one word. okay, traitor. and right away, this is dead. well, she rides out saying the truth is, treason feeling can proceed with the but his thing is that what the victims is. 3 is always the south. both guys, histories we've never faced. it is that it was or was very concentrated in its own big things in its own programs, which is both of the nature of that and send the book is where most of the show
7:40 am
lying to what's going on. one hour late. but we're, we've been orders like so these are the media is everything just to be so blind and not knowing a bunch of this long beach that they think that's i don't remember such a denial such a blind? no, no, no, no, no, no, don't bother us. we should say, don't bother us. we stuff page. if you don't bother else, be the vision. you are. nothing is ready. but you do you wrote about israel's incursion in the gaza, back in 2009. and if anyone reads this book, it reads is if it's a map for what is on, on, on, uh, happened since then, and it's incredibly pressure into about many of the problems. and i mean i, i ask you, do you see anything optimistic as you look forward, given the crisis that you 1st punctuated with this powerful book. so you'll see
7:41 am
sleep in october, the via the 2nd progress spoke. and i just don't know how the 1st i am ready to fix this. it's more or less a copy of the 1st. hm. i mean we, i the same place obviously that much was place than that. my only hope to me is the can come from the fact that i or result that he must get much was before he gets, but to know the diamond boxes the boxes believe they need but is uh, leave it to the device at this very least book use not to be taken accountable for any see around them and maybe this will we change it because once its riley's been big, they can account for the full photos over there. but seeing, i mean, such horrible things are being done on our behalf. and he's really specialty about
7:42 am
the only care about the homepage. it's which is make sure that you prefer your own victims but not to see the other. so i know it will be very hard for me to, to spread up to me. so right now, because i cannot, i don't draw, i don't mistake. so now, you know, i mean, if i don't know what can be, who, what lender should give me a good shape as well. but by the end of the day, it may be to get soto but of the we'd be no other choice box change because results are ready could change. we would face the same thing. and those 3 us, again, let me play for you a sound bite of secretary of state anthony, blinking. who's reflecting on the gaza crisis in the future. in the absence of a plan for the day after. there won't be a day after. and this is where we need to go and we need to
7:43 am
get as quickly as possible a plan for the day after that does not leave israel responsible for gaza, which it says does not want to be. but if it is, it will simply have an enduring insurgency on his hands. for as far as one can see into the future or not, if not from us will be left in charge, which is unacceptable. or if not, we'll have chaos, lawlessness and vacuum the eventually will be sold again by a mouse or maybe something if it's possible. imagine even worse jottings. i'd love to get your reaction to this person. i oversee the agreed to every word state by the secretary, but it's part of the picture. the other part is that it's in the heart of the circumstances. there are no conditions for the day off. okay, we get rid of the comments we achieved. oh gods. before you're welcome jessica. i
7:44 am
mean, guess that we don't, how must we just turn into a somebody, you guys always come us, we remain comma stuff. there is no way. i mean, this is like change radically. it's i think joe does the question, is it or not? you cannot separate guys from the west big. you cannot separate distribution guys from the in, by a big show for good 0 to patient or 56 years open up update state. if those things will not be touched, then we might know solution for the day off the ever means. even expect with their bigger is right by saying that these are doesn't have a plan because usually the kids not ever lead something. does that get skin not to have it made the wrong guys like folding, blinking in the sub in the, in the present circumstance. what does the subject, i mean switch said the swiss army always go wrong,
7:45 am
doesn't look sick. and as long as we don't change the base, she gave it to you. i don't see any, any sort of as one of the holistic things we saw televised was the aftermath of a bombing of a camp. in rafa of innocent people 45 dead, many more injured, burned children is really prime minister. netanyahu said that this was a tragic error and a mistake that would be investigated. it was a u. s. bomb used in this, in this camp question i have in this is how it is someone in israel who sees the same for the not think that those kinds of incidents are going to create a new next generation of people with deep grievances who want to settle the score, or who want revenge, whose parents are children or sisters and brothers were killed in this awful way. how is there no sense of that? that injustice breeds violence?
7:46 am
your assumptions, the real close, the boy, you're sure that these ladies watch those scenes? i mean, they will have shown don't see it, but don't want to say that they get rid of the show, but it's only about friday because people's know and either of these horrible incident was presented to these ladies in a very so been short way, namely it happens or seems like this happened, some blame of how boss who is hiding among the day there is to change there some games that may be was probably still and additionally trustful, nothing but taking accountability, not but feeling some kind of see those the victims. so these ladies don't even go farther and base,
7:47 am
always think about the consequences. how we would see that, how we the next, the original furnace they have seen us 1st book to look up on you said to, to declare, to be touched base. to say the drugs, sorry about what the pregnant is disabled, although he said it because they, the initial term in both is these initial call. the just is, is, is a like a, like a the a, a sides photo. and he now because the old very scared the what they we, what we did the readings, but he didn't need obviously a view of what disabled or know, where is the corner? where is the saw role? where is the n c was the, was the big, big support say not single feet you're, we are asking of the mind me the or world to full. sure my leg would be about the
7:48 am
hostages jeremiah way would be about the kids. so just but we don't spend any emotion spell that will fix it. i listen to some is really cabinet officials who say that any move towards the ceasefire. any consideration of is really withdrawal would be a gift for from us. how is that equation playing out? and is there any, are there any dissenting voices that we should listen to and that you think are serious? this is steve. we are boss last week in the, in a very interesting conference and i met some people. the thing is new meds is when the senior people in the category administration and they all thought they, we don't have a boss. i mean is, is not the process for the right. it's very clear from here that this government gave up on the us digits. there's no other from russian that anyone can get accept
7:49 am
of these. from the beginning, you collect the claim, that is what it is. as for me to make a choice between the war is released and it was the just you have to choose between the tool because the toby to not be achieved to good is right. it shows the continue the war and the the say, the notion of the war teammate victory crushing come us, which was never happened obviously. but by this we gave up on their hostages and therefore i don't see any beating the talking day so weeks. no way is what is nothing just so you don't, i want to read you something i'm sure you've seen before, but it's a classified cable that was released as part of the wiki leaks and releases and, and in this cable, the state department official says is really officials have confirmed to embassy officials on multiple occasions that they intend to keep the guys and economy
7:50 am
functioning at the lowest level possible consistent with avoiding a humanitarian crisis. in other words, is real surrounding gaza seeping it at a bare subsistence level. this is years ago. i'd love to get your thoughts on this . you probably have written about this cable before, but when i read it, you know, i get goose bumps down my back because i've seen, wow, that is a really incredible state base plan to never proceed with anything other than bear subsistence. very large number of people, essentially under your, under your control from the exterior. steam. how is can you explain the siege? oh my god. so which is an hour away? 17 years. so almost 18 years. no. there's no other explanation for this age, but what you would have just quoted, we don't do this cable when it's like booked as cj overdoes. uh,
7:51 am
what do you just think that they do? it's reinforcing guys, sperry div pretty though. innovation in words. what? cuz oh, when you put 2300000 people in the biggest change in the words, what did you expect when you come out to speak? but the problem is that the international community and the united states on top of feed a listening, baseless a, this long as the 1st thing is being shots, the whole world was very different. that what this each and this is so critical. because the world rosie guys will 17 years to the fact that easily is doing your global war. but you before the war by 42 point, show me the beeping there is open. jay in the world, the world, the world said nothing about you. believe we're seeing israel commit genocide in
7:52 am
gaza. i was stay so here i have also to be there for because it's all about the court and i will do the side is, is it the general side bundle? i would quote, my says was, or the city, why don't my visas or was it the 13 hardly to the type if it's not general side was easy. and i know the general. busy through christ, i'm conditions, i mean delete, good definition requires a intends i don't think this is only government both a decision on the 7. so 8, so or 9. so for october we are going for a general side. did guess no, this was not the case. it was also booked for be about the data compares and it was not also it planned for a final solution for guys. no,
7:53 am
but the i'll come speaks about it says this mess keeping or how else can you describe me? that means i need 15000. i'm sure the imagine you know, so this been so she doesn't b u, how can we corte, on the terror campaign? how it was skin worried? so the general side maybe is to, to a sensitive because of the story. but isn't the, the mess giving sure it is investigating agents is a big, proven, or short description of how someone they finally, i know there's been even the question, but by then meaning that what if the court say this itself, the genocide, it's a big thing. it's not, was those figures? was this re edit the when you show bomb for neighborhoods with when you can? 45 people refugees with 6 joe. so while i go to their race or not,
7:54 am
there was where i think the, who you're writing the p 45 people for 2 years. i mean in the 45 years. okay. and what about for the 50, you know, some people for one theories, it's endless. and it's driven to just finally, and i'm interested in the political moment and you know, i'm always careful in this because this may be wrong but, but there are some that are saying if elections were held today and is real, that, that prime minister netanyahu might be back in power may be in powered by this moment if elections were held in palestine. how mos, uh may very well when. you know, if you agree with that. i mean, the question is, what if anything has been achieved in this conflict in before? and that's, it wasn't shift for short phrase, right. i mean, is way overdue. those is, there's one thing that you read that is where i can show i love show
7:55 am
the now we'd be re elected, but it's unbelievable that there is a good chance of the appropriate b, steve and jerry, that brought, that picture becomes even more. it'd be pressing that even if you stepped out, even if you would need to replace the evenings. brittany gotten sorta p the wherever we we those selections that we'd be truly can change the world with get out of its way. they, we know how good the human would because their own rating with any out of home. everyone, we want to meet the you elected prime minister and, and a he might even go and meet the positive role model. but we need to come to the call. he shows continuing the war, continuing go to patient, continuing the process. it seemed to read the a big change. i have news for you. oh, and useful viewers. don't expect too much. well,
7:56 am
we'll have to leave it there. really appreciate your candor is really journalist and author and you don't levy thank you so much for being with us today. thank you, steve, for those one of the 4 questions. so what's the bottom line? we have seen this script before, weaponized nationalism, the human eyes, the enemy mix in fear and paranoia. and while politicians get a noxious brew to build their power base, it happened in the us when it was driven by revenge to attack iraq. and the killing of hundreds of thousands of iraqis was rationalized by the same token motivated by revenge supporters of israel, or rationalizing the unrelenting assault that is killed tens of thousands of innocent palestinians. those who are raising questions about the solvency of israel's actions are labeled anti semitic, or is anti israel or as racist, or bigots. my guess today is calling out the leaders of his own government with the sad truth is that few share those using the don't levies country. israel is far away from introspection and rationality,
7:57 am
and it's mostly still manically focused on the indiscriminate destruction of gaza. there shouldn't be any illusions that this phase is even close to being over, especially with washington's blanket support. and that's the bottom line. the the latest news, as it breaks in the eyes of was false, does going economy. yet experts say it's high g, d, p must have some challenges with detailed coverage. even the rest of the defense budget is unprecedented. 7 percent of g d p. the crowd funding platforms are still raising money from around the world. springs declaration is evidence of a growing cents a month to monkey even western nations. but the us policy is failing to bring a 2 state solution any closer the challenges
