8:35 pm
beverly milton edwards, the tools of how much the quest for power at a full but you special adviser to the middle east peace process. and from joshua and lebanon green mark dc is a political panelist at associated research of the art council for the social sciences. welcome to you. well, let's start with you. cream is as well as a control or does it know exactly what it's doing deliberately pursuing military objectives according to a plan strategy? yes. hi. um, i think it's both. i think they are out of control in the sense of their, they're trying to kind of create a situation in the region in which they remain in charge of what's going on in which they are able to create all sorts of violence create, you know, south and that will blow civilian infrastructure will continue the genocide and gaza take on iran and pick on 11 on take on iraq and them. and then other countries in the region and, and not really necessarily understand what the repercussions are going to be. on
8:36 pm
the other hand, i do think that there is a strategy there. i think the strategy, especially with nothing you know, having just come from the united states, is to try to push as much as possible to create this, this kind of atmosphere in the region in order to draw the americans in. and in order to kind of discover any, any kind of these firefox and ensure that they can, in, in their own terms. so when the war and guys are and, and then kind of keep matters, that the currents in the region, but to kind of keep the regional head gemini going definitely what might, it runs response to the assassination of a smile, penny on it. so it'll look like the retaliation from the so called excess of resistance. well, i think has compared to the retaliation that took place in april by or on following the attack on one of its assets in damascus by israel we will see a difference. so suddenly what we're going to see is um
8:37 pm
a more immediate response and that's already been headlines, which means that the kind of signaling that took place and in april $71.00 to come in in april the missiles, thrones that was sent from around were mainly directed that is really minute pre call this. now they were suddenly phase, but this time iran will also puts in its target size, possibly is ready to be an infrastructure, including for example, it supports may be in high. so i stalled as well as energy installations. moreover, i think we're already seeing that this is going to be much more of a sort of tool tonight to effort involving all the members of the access of resistance. which was, which means that again, it's rarely instructions from the, from the south part of the pieces, from the north, by his bow, with a sort of expansion beyond will spin, consistent the grace of talk between, you know,
8:38 pm
and the israel into the pro hops even more strategically sensitive science and of course there's also sort of heights and the risk of beside the retaliation and coordination of autonomy ation in, in the gulf area. so once again, maritime assets and supply routes and energy routes from the gulf to the rest of the world. fall into those target site, so this doesn't flow to be worried about but but from what is, well, i've had us logistical support will help from, from anyone else for the killing of a both. how do you in to around and show kind of in, in a room or doesn't have to the ministry and intelligence capabilities to act. so learn what, what the us of known in advance about the attack. some of the us at the moment saying publicly that it didn't, but if it didn't, what does that tell us about the relationship between israel and the us? that's an excellent question. what we've seen is that the israelis had been
8:39 pm
repeatedly acting unilaterally. we saw the american advanced knowledge, and i think the americans, i take the word for this time when they say they didn't know about this in advance, because no doubt the americans with a veto that knowing de rodney is, would escalate. i don't think the escalation would be as extensive as beverly just mentioned. i think it would be proportional no one other than the 10 yahoo wants to escalate the war beyond the tragedy of gaza. except nathaniel, who we wants to prolong his own political career. but you know, one of the things we're seeing here is it really odd us is a relationship unfolding. on the one hand, the republicans have embraced the 10 yahoo a whole heartedly and unconditionally. while on the other hand, the state department has been more measured. uh certainly they've been defections
8:40 pm
and resignations in the state department, so we're seeing it really all dynamic. you're on fold and it'd be interesting to see how that relationship evolves under a possible harris presidency or a trump presidency. honda is, i'm just interested under whether you think the police, the political situation in the us right now is having any impact on, on economic use, current thinking. is he perhaps escalating to ensure that but should a less sympathetic president take the white house it but when the election in november check the white house on january, the hands of tired as far as the contract is concerned? absolutely, the narrative here in the united states is completely pro, is a, it's almost as if the genocide in gaza doesn't exist. it's really imagining how those, any pro palestinian sympathy here or etc,
8:41 pm
for the plight of the palestinians, given the dominant narrative in the public domain, in public spaces on mainstream american media. and they say, these have been brilliant at framing the narrative, any way that test them in a completely positive life. as if nothing you all who i need is a cabinet can do absolutely no wrong as if the palestinians don't matter. palestinian lives do not matter. and so i think what we're seeing is really the p r machine that these in the government has a at its disposal here in the us, in, in uh, full force, uh, in operation covering this as well as policy of assassination against leading figures from the palestinian resistance achieve anything it's, it's,
8:42 pm
extrajudicial mother has an improved. is there any security over the is what does it mean for the chances of peace talk succeeding right now, and of course, as well as i am for freeing hostages, white us as well continue to pursue this policy. how i think to answer your question, i don't think that the assassinations which of course as well as i've been doing for decades has improved the security at all. that hasn't proved to anybody security and honey himself is a, is a, is a result of, you know, it came into power and others like him as a result of these really stealing all sorts of other, how much leaders over the years and the seller himself and tom, because others before him it has been lower assassinated. so, you know, as has been such quite a bit, it's the idea of resistance, the idea of how mass itself and balance and then resistance balance and liberation . as soon as self determination 11. and it says, well it's, it's resistance, it's that, you know, it's fighting against occupation and it's mainly attacks all the time in the long history of invasion and occupation. this stuff, this stuff oh,
8:43 pm
was out live particular leaders and particular people that they get assassinated. it doesn't mean that in, i'm in the kind of operational terms that they're not valuable and that they don't cause problem. but of course they do on the, in the field and in the, you know, in the actual war time. and of course they do. but it will certainly not stop the, the, the kind of, the overarching kind of resistance movements that's happening across the region. and what we can see now, which is an increase coordination across this, this kind of access of resistance across the region. so you can see from yemen to 11, and it's, it's, there's several fronts, but they're all, i think, more or less in unison and, and quite coordinated. so no, of course is where the security doesn't improve, but, but more importantly, you don't get published. and in the pollution, you don't get you don't get people civilians across the region. then the arrow blended spend and left on the palestine across the region. nobody, you know, people are suffering and it's not just divide his way. the security, nothing will happen as long as this really is, continue there,
8:44 pm
genocide and their occupation and their series of assassinations, all of which is basically to try to stop any kind of negotiation from taking place . and i think this is the key issue to these are these get to continue with impunity to continue to assassinate power as the name and lebanese leaders and, and resistance fighters and get away with it on the international level. this is, this is the key question. and as far as i can see, and as mine was saying earlier, the kind of support that the us has given without any, any reservation at all on his way. or the action has been astounding. and this been very well noted across the region here. and it, it does nothing for it, it does not think it, it makes american standing of the region much worse and makes everybody security and much worse. and this is something that cannot be stopped. beverly, do you agree with that? is israel blind? so the consequences of its, of its actions, and what does it feel and bolting to behaviors?
8:45 pm
it does say the, this incremental ramping up of acts which breach both international humanitarian law because of the, the apparent unconditional support of, of the us. well, i said, i think it's a little bit more complicated than last, i think, but ah, well, my friend has pointed out, but israel does appear to be in the, in sort of one vote the action with, with impunity. i think we need to take into consideration, but there are a number of tensions and forces a walk in israel and in the body politic at the moment. so to be realistic tend to bear in mind that this is a symmetric of conflicts. and i symmetric will that's being wage chair on the as has been done. so the decades now is ro, if it's the right kind of, cuz the intelligence and security opportunity presents itself is route typically under the government of ness. and yahoo has never failed to act swiftly to execute
8:46 pm
the claims of assassination attempts successfully or otherwise in the past, as, as we saw with a smell here. this week, coming out again as we saw when the 10 you off the 1st came to power in 1997. when he attempted to assassinate colleagues, michelle, who will be the light, the success of a small veneer. and on both occasions, of course, uh, is really agents the most that failed in, in the, in the mind. but that was again, it's all about it is, is the opportunity that so that it to, to execute the kind of assassination and tactics of assassination. but they choose to constantly pursue now as we will acknowledge this, the actually get is around these really people, the palestinian people, or any other actors in the region any closer to, to pace and by any measure of, of, of attendance to achieve conflict resolution or confidence building minutes on this
8:47 pm
is, this is, this is no way this is no way and add a cheese months in time. so the future prospects and fits for the release. so it's really about the shaft is being how to stage in his cell. so those 2300000, the cost indians in golf having any form of believe ation of the absolute, the dog humanitarian conditions the, the, that the suffering suffering. and i think that my friends are quite correct. point out that this is a bit of a blow useful for us leverage. i'm in the wider middle east spits it's come from what we've been hearing from washington and the law school. jay towel is that is well simply the bullet to consult to or to call for rachel to engage in the usual rates of intelligent sharing with, with the paul as in the c i a or the f b i. now let's read that against the corporation that have been going on on the
8:48 pm
mediation file for a cease fire. and for this release is where the c, i a must side to the mediation. know congress like cat on, on each it out of the cost with how much negotiators is melanie are included while progressing. so what we're seeing here is this, but again, just to re emphasize the point that within this rel itself, we're seeing really serious tensions, okay? domestic clean between the cups calling to shape and the kind of are called strain . so lack of constraints that nothing you all who believes that with his coalition partners who are a bunch of extreme right wing racist on, that they will do one thing and that the military defense, security and intelligence community may on occasion be advising other things that relate let me just jump in there because i, i want to bring in my truck pick up on something that you were saying earlier in the background that you said in a previous on. so to what extent is the, the continuation of the warranty, the dangerous moment that we find ourselves with
8:49 pm
a reckoning to moustache, the ties into a wide, original conflict, purely down to nothing yahoo and his need to stay in power. you said in order to avoid having to appear in court on corruption shots has made, is it really that but simple or other personalities within the the right wing has. ready the government and ministry also driving this modest on a dictator, he's a democratically elected prime minister account only about his ego, kind of a yes or no. there are indeed pressures on that. and you know, from even to his right to, uh, eradicate the, any price of palestinians in gauze. uh. and then probably in the west band. um, i think uh you're absolutely right. it is. uh, there are, is really political dynamics at work. but we've all known that nathan, y'all, whose political career has been in danger for some time. now. in fact,
8:50 pm
in many ways, october 7th, came to his rescue. let's remember that there were weakly massive demonstrations, intel, a vive, and elsewhere, and is raised against the 10 yahoo for the judicial reforms who was trying to push through the is really a political arena. and so i think in many ways the prime minister continues the onslaught on garza and on palestinians in order to prolong his own political career and to keep both the right and the left flags of his coalition in check. a dream, as well as it would be helpful to account for its actions, for the thousands of innocent people slaughters in gaza for the targeting of my, my eldest era colleagues with the, the journalist who died and goes out of how important will accountability be in any
8:51 pm
resolution to this country. that's a fantastic question. i think that's something that there is, there does not, there's not going to be accountability any time soon for these really until or unless resistance works. it's relying on western states and western institutions and western politicians and leaders is not going to get any kind of re dress for the palestinians either in terms of their long struggle for self determination and liberation. or for, you know, trying to get individual is really the, there's held to account each time there's a push for that kind of issue. it gets stopped somewhere along the line. we see now this incredible quote, you know, the case that they can ask the court of justice. you see this incredible presentation by south africa by then by the media, by other states and the global soft that have been joining in on this. and you see the push back by countries like germany by the u. k. and certainly by the united states to try the block based kinds of international process of accountability. then what's happening is international criminal court, the kind of accountability then what happened will happen once the, the, the,
8:52 pm
the world realizes that someone like nothing down here. i disagree a little bit with my on. and that i don't think, i think the focus on nothing. you know, of course, he has a personal interest. that's true, his personal interest to try to prolong this works. but i think it's really important to remember that as well as a whole, as an, as an entity, as a state, as you know that back by my diligence, scientism, and political project design. and some has been like this was created with ethnic cleansing in 1948 and then, but it has not stopped this from its from day one from its existence until today. but what we see and does it today in the genocide, what we see in these types across the region is a continuation of a lot long history of what these really isn't, what scientism was about them. but what this really state has been about from the beginning. so yes, there are personal, it's, you know, issues with nothing you have them. so in terms of what you can get away with in terms of is pushing it, but it is something in which as well as i said as long have been doing definitely with rapidly running out of time. i need a brief on sir about a minute and
8:53 pm
a half from you. if i can. where does this lead counsel? you mention counsel, which have been mediating in the c spiceworks? i'm the governments of the wider middle east. i'm the gulf. i mean, how, how will, is way of targeted kennings impact on their response this crisis. the only thing i think there's lots has already been clicked full of tax off, and it's mediators, egypt and other actors in the region which has this. but they won't, the escalation, they have code for accountability, they have made a very strong point of reminding the rest of the well that, so is israel continues to act outside the international norms and outside international consensus and the morals and ethics of the conduct of diploma se, then the world is truly frank sense not just the region by an escalation, but, but the rest of the world and coming back to the international criminal court we,
8:54 pm
it's very important to remember that you're not an application has been made each one of those arrest warrants is a separate warrant against each one of those individuals will yet to hear from the judges about the issuing of, of those, lawrence. and again, it's very important to remember the office of being investigated. we can only have that justice. trudy will prevail from a promise times representative of the un to the un security council, the quote violence and tara israel is made only currency. there is no red lines that israel no lower, it will breach. no, no, it will not trample, know, act to deprived or bump direct and yet the will stand idly by time of the time ringing it times as people die, as well as in breach of international lord ignores un resolutions. an i c j orders . that is accused of committing genocide arrest warrants are expected to be issued for its prime minister and defense. but as the by the i c, c, y on of those the,
8:55 pm
the, the will continue to tolerate this from israel. that's an excellent question. um uh, partly is because of a narrative, the fact that for so long for so many decades, the world has been conditioned for seeking their lead. the west has been conditioned to view it as right. and the palestinians as a, having been being wrong. and, and so of course the, and the narrative is such that the public narrative is such the public discourse is such that it's all the average american person doesn't hear about palestine. doesn't care about the palestinian uh, the average palestinian person or their plight. and i, i think it's very difficult to argue if it's a very eloquent statement of the palestinian representative to the united nations.
8:56 pm
i think she was quite right to him final. what do you then? we must repeat, forget about a minute. less strongly corey, who, you know, and i'll view as well. no, because he appears on the inside story regularly called as well as on the killing machine that the world doesn't quite know what to do with. why doesn't the world know what to do with it? and it's, it's very simple in this sense of personal, of course, i agree with them totally that the united states has not rented in the united states. and as western eyes have allowed, as well over many decades, to act with total, impunity for invasions, occupations, apartheid genocide, this is no longer in dispute any more as well as last, it's global legitimacy. the, the kind of the resistance movements across the region are growing. public opinion across the world country to the, to the leaders is very much it gets normalization and everybody wants to push for this question of justice per pallet sentence for people, for peace, for people across the region. this can happen as long as the united states in particular case,
8:57 pm
but i think as well to the hill to keep sending weapons keeps supporting an international for and doesn't allow the most basic accountability resistance will continue. it is going to be the only way forward, not western based kind of accountability. it'll be accountability from people in the region until that is where these understand that they have to live left to co exist in the quality and piece rather than has normally said this kind of somebody like killing machine, which is their entire history. as far as the entire neighborhood is concerned, especially with the confidence and especially now is we're sitting in garza and the i'm afraid we must and bodies, thanks and day to order for your mouth from colorado, beverly milk in edwards and cream. mike dc. thank you for watching. you can see the parking again at any time by going to the website. i'll just do a dot com for further discussion. you can join us about facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash h a insight story. and you can join the conversation on an x on handle at a j inside story from me, adrian said again of the team here in though, see again,
8:58 pm
i forgot the a unique perspectives. i love that i really loved them because definitely i loved and nothing is something you're always on heard voices, but we are committed guessing best i can know all about you so much. connect with our community and talking to conversations you will find elsewhere. lot of these patients, if it was all of the medical facilities and all of that would be preventable. that's the horror of what's the stream on our, just the, are the 1st to me saw that we see in the real time it's the victims themselves was there's a disconnect between what we are witnessing on social media versus what we're seeing on mainstream. it is always an attempt to reframe at the 2 sides of them,
8:59 pm
but there is no 2 sides to this. the western media does have a western bias who understand what they are looking to stay out and raise. the listening post covers how the news is covered. the japanese american veterans mistaken so the enemy, traumatized by the vietnam war. we're united with a friend who rescued his life from his fellow soldiers, fifties on a life as perhaps you don't realize that until experience an epic tale of friendship. sacrifice has entered covers with nice volunteers on out usually around the challenges here with the
9:00 pm
of the hello there i'm installs the attain. this isn't use our line from the coming up in the next 60 minutes. russian stage media release has pictures and one of the biggest present a swaps involving 7 countries is still not been made possible without our allies german phones for media nor where and target. they all stepped up, us presidential advice and it says the release of americans came with.
