hello and welcome to press tv spotlight and marier. thanks so much for being with us. well, as jews around the world prepare to celebrate the jewish new year, zionists decided to increase the pressure and violence against palestinians. on sunday, two more young palestinian men were shot in the head of and killed as israeli troops attack the refugee camp where they lived. violence has always been the modus operandai of the zionist entity. however, with the current rulers both extremism. and provocations are

increasing, this as hundreds of settlers have stormed the al-axamas complex earlier this week, the palestinian resistance has repeatedly said al-aqsa is their red line. we're going to take a look at all of this on this spotlight. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. zaynal abidin khaddaffi, coordinator of zaggaki foundation, south africa out of capetown. and zathar bangash director institute of contemporary islamic thought out of toronto. thank you both for being with us. let me start this off in cape town: there were at least two more palestinians killed today and several injured, and it appears that we're practically seeing at least one palestinian killed each day. the number so far this year of palestinians been killed has risen to 249, of quite unbelievable. your thoughts, nalis. is

of what's going on, specifically why this is happening in this way this year? thank you so much for having me, of course we see the ongoing aggression from the illegitimate zinast regime and these attacks that are happening a daily basis up until today where the death fill has risen to 249 innocent palestinian skilled is a sign of the fading of the illegitimate zi regime um it seems that since the 2021 as well as 2000 going into 200 2022 with the joint saif also where we saw the unity forged between the resistance factions in palestine we saw that the resistance capability of palestinians has increased vastly. palestinians today they have access to precision precision guided missile and they are using all kinds of

warfare to resist by arms, the illegitimate zist regime, and today the strength amongst palestinian resistance is of such nature that has not been seen in the history of the resistance against the illegitimate regime, and therefore they are trying to show that there is still a balance of power that the zin regime still has in hand, but as we have seen with the operation saif al-quds and subsequent to that that the palestinian. are not only defeating israeli illegitimate regimes or tactics, but we are also paying the way for definite victory to come to the palestinians and therefore the zime they do these periodic attacks to show the world that they still have the power, although the reality on the ground is the power is weakening and soon a definitely welcome to the resistance. well zafar to endure this time of violence for more than 80 years and

not break, it takes a special type of tenacity, to what do you attribute resilience and the resistance of the palestinians? basically the palestinians have shown that they are not going to be cowed down by these zionist terrorists, there are several factors, number one, the palestinians have obviously found their strength in their eman, in their faith, the overwhelming. majority of the palestinians are muslims, of course there are christians as well, but the christians are equally committed, they are also equal partners in this struggle against the zionist occupiers that are terrorizing the palestinian people. in fact, we witnessed that it's not just palestinian boys or men that are fighting, but there are even palestinian girls and women that are resisting the occupation. again, it has to be attributed. to their very strong faith and

of very strong determination to achieve freedom. as zein abidin pointed out, the palestinians have been... resisting right from day one for for eight more than 80 years they have been resisting the zionists and initially the palestinians obviously were not well organized but today they are very well organized particularly if we look at the janin refugee camp where although the zionists continue to attack it but they are terrified of entering into the camp itself because the sign is know that this is going to cost them a lot of casuality. and they simply cannot afford to to bear them. i also want to point out that the zionist have intensified their atrocities and their killings because they are becoming desperate in the face of the well organized resistance the palestinian people. and of course there

are broader issues as well that are involved that we can of course talk about, but i would say that the strength of the palestinian people resides primarily in their very strong. faith and their fearlessness and their willingness to achieve martydom in the face of these barbarities and that is what is really terrifying these zionist occupiers. well zeinal abed in this 75 years or so, we have seen generation after generation of course of the palestinians resist, but but right now it seems like the younger generation um have a special determination right now. uh to actually fight to regain control over their homeland, your thoughts about that and and why is this the case? yes, if we look at the at the issue of palestine for the last 75 to 80 years, we see that all methods for the liberation of palestinians

has failed, negotiations has failed, the oslo accords and different accords has failed, different agreements has failed, the various united nations resolutions taken on the palestinian issue has failed, negotiations sitting around the table, waiting for international intervention, every other method for the liberation of palestinian people has failed dismally, and after so many years, if we look at now 75 to 80 years, i think that the young people have come to terms with the fact that there is other way when an aggressive, which is the zionist regime comes forward with with arms with state sponsored terrorism using high-tech warfare against people to usp the land that there can only be one resolution and that is to defend by arms the land, their families, their women, their homes and their right to

independence and therefore we see, i think now more than ever with the unification of the various resistance factions. and the support from the resistance axis, being the islamic republic of iran and their allies like hizbillah and others, that the youth have come to terms that they are being misled on other fronts and the only time when the enemy takes them seriously is when they resist by arms in defense of the land and the families and therefore today more than ever we see the zeal amongst those brave warriors in philestine, those young ones that come forward to defend themselves and to fight for liberation. well, do you think the regime is trying to distract from all of the negative news and distint it is facing from the settler colonials, other settler colonials as another week of protest have just passed. do

you see this internal uh combination playing any role on this increased pressure that we're now seeing on palestinians? oh, absolutely, this is what the zionist have historic done whenever they face internal problems that they cannot overcome as they are facing them right now, these disturbances or these protests have been going on months now against the so-called judicial reforms, and they have been unable, the regime has been unable to quell those protests internally, so they find this very useful distraction to go a killings against the... palestinian people, you see, there is one thing that unites all the israelis, whether they are on the left or on the right or any anywhere in between, so long as they are killing the palestinians, all of them unite, they all want to kill the palestinians, i mean, only a couple of weeks ago netanyahu

open declared that israel will continue to usarp more and more land, he he, of course he was referring to the west bank, but he... uses the expression judea and samaria, this biblical name, in fact the design is only ruled historically only for about 60 to 70 years over there, beyond that they have absolutely no. but they are masters of creating myths and that's what they continuously use, and so they try to confuse people inside israel that they are fighting, they are fighting in order to regain their so-called historical land, when in fact the zin are alien invaders in palestine, so it is absolutely true that these this escalation in the atrocities have occurred, because we see that this regime is infested by neonarzis, they are even more criminal minded. than other zionis and they know that if they continue to kill the palestinians they can

probably mobilize the israeli population behind them and these protests that are taking place against them that they would somehow peeter out and these neonazis will continue to rule this illegitimate zionist entity. well actually staying with you zaffer picking up on something that you said about the one thing that we can count on is actually that they will they are in solidarity with each other al colonial settler settler coloniaus there uh there was a video that went viral this week of an israeli soldier who was against actually the changes in the whole judicial reform um but but said she actually said that she needed to have a government that she knew would support them because - she was pilot and as she shooting uh and could kill palestinians and palestinian kids she needed to know that there was a a strong support system. i mean the mentality is absolutely amazing and deprived, what do you attribute that to? i'll

throw this back to zain abidin? you see, what is happening is that, as far as the zionist are concerned, they don't consider the palestinian people as human beings. if you look at the history of the zionists, they have the zionist various stages, they have referred to the palestinians as cockroaches, they have referred to the palestinians as subhumans, current ministers in the zionist regime have said that palestinian lives do not matter, the only lives that matter are those of the zionist jews, so you can see this racist mentality that has totally dominated the thinking of the zionist occupiers of occupied palestine, and so i'm not surprised at all that this pilot would make statements like that, there are others that have made similarly racist statements. we recall you know when whensa grabin was the prime minister of israel, when the intefada

was was raiging, he had ordered thousands of clubs and he said that we are going to break the bones of the palestinian people, and they continue to do so and they continue to reid palestinian homes, palestinian villages, you know, few years ago and entire palestinian family was burnt alive inside their homes, so we know that these people are absolut barbarians, they have no regard for human life, especially of palestinian lives, because they consider that palestinians are competing with them for this land and they don't want the palestinians there, and they're trying to drive them out, but they cannot, because the palestinians are determined to fight for their rights, they've been with no choice, will continue to struggle, and ultimately the victory will be theirs, because the international situation is evolving in a. that is leading towards the obliteration of this racist zionist entity.

well zain abid in kipper or the day of atomment is supposed to be the most solemn day on the jewish calendar, but it is used in the zionist entity to tighten control, tighten control and restrictions over the palestinians as well as to intimidate them and to kill more palestinians. mean, what does this mean? is it that those ruling the entity are not really practicing jews, or that being a... takes precedence over judaism for those living in that entity? look, the james is illegitimate regime in its totality, and therefore they do not care about young or any other holiday, be it a religious and a sanctify for the jews or for anyone else in the world, when it comes to the destruction of palestinians, we have seen for the last 80 years, the ruthless inhumane. the zionist regime and therefore we will not expect a regime which is void of humanity to stop the

aggression on the basis of a day that supposed to be sanctified for the jews. when it comes to the leadership of the illegitimate regime, many true jews, especially the group that president rais said met with in the recent trip to the united nations and he met with the real jews that were based in america, completely shun this notion of a zionist regime assign states and they do not agree with the aggression against not only palestinian people, but against any innocent people of the world, however, the signist regime, be they the leadership of the regime, whether they claim to be jewish or any other religion, it falls away, because they have one goal in place, and that is to wipe the world free from the palestinian people, to completely usarp the land by any

and all means necessary to steal the minerals and of course to complete the program of genocide. upon the palestinian people, but of course with the ongoing resistance, with this increased understanding of resisting oppression, injustice and tyranny that we have seen for the last 80 years, we know that this project of genocide will fail, and of course as brother zafar said that the illegitimate regime will be obliterated, destroyed from the each holiday seems to be used as an excuse for design. to add to the misery of the natives and now the ga strip, which the scientists have already basically cut off from the world, stopped any deliveries and shut the crossing from the west bank, mean in general, does the regime just gets its energy from the increased misery of palestinian, and and what makes the rest of the world turn such a blind eye to this? we need to understand that the zionist

entity is a colonial settler entity and the overwhelming majority of its population. comprises settlers, i would call them squatters, actually, not settlers, these are squatters, illegal squaters into palestine from north america, from europe, from eastern and western europe and russia, so when we talk about the rest of the world, we need to be careful in the sense that the rest of the world actually, the real the real part of the world that that or the the part of the world that supports the zionist are the ones that are supplying the manpower to the zionist and entity, that part of the is also supplying them finances and weapons, so these are actually kit and kin of the western regimes that are in occupation of palestine, if you look at the rest of the world, when you talk about for instance, africa or asia, there isn't any support for the zionist occupiers, in fact there are a lot of countries in the

world, the overwhelming majority of the countries in the world, and that is reflected for instance whenever but there is vote in the un general assembly, the overwhelming majority of the countries of the world vote against the atrocities that the zionits are perpetrating, but because of the fact that the western regimes that dominate the un security council and they are the ones that are supplying manpower, money, weapons, so they are the ones that are supporting these zionist atrocities, and that's why they turn a blind eye to what the zionists are doing, because it's their own kid. and king and they are part and parcel of this conspiracy to occupy to continue to maintain this colonial settler entity in the heartland of islam. zainul abidin as the world is shifting from a unilateral to a multilateral political dynamic uh, do you think that we'll see - a change, zafar just talked about the western

regimes and their total support for the zionist entity, but in general do you think that we'll see a... a changes for as their support for the regime and in general for the palestinians and increasing the pressure on the israeli regime. i don't think that we will see a different response from the western countries with regards to designers the regime, their crimes and the atrocities in palestine. what we have been seeing is when countries such as iran, the islamic republic of iran, countries such as iraq, perhaps cuba and others, when they come forward. the offer support to the palestinian peoples when they criticize and stand against the crimes of the illegal, illegitimate regime, that they are often opposed by the western countries, and i think that the same narrative will continue, as we see the world transforming and we see the global shifting

consciousness, those regimes will, as before continue to support black blindly and to cover up the crimes of the illegitimate regime, they will continue to stand, to stand against those countries speak the truth and that support to your pressed, like the islamic republic of iran, but it won't change the outcome and the end result, the end result that we are seeing is that palestinian people are becoming more conscious, they are actively engaging in the acts of resistance and that resistance acts is in full support the resistance factions in palestine, and so with the western countries refraining from supporting the resistance in palestine and the... support to the zist regime, it will not change this end result, and the end result is that complete liberation will be fought for and attained by the palestinians

and zafar, the palestinian resistance has said that the regime will pay for its increase aggression, where do you see this going because the zi is continue to get uh more and more aggressive, and of course the resistance front continually get more and more experienced and better equipped. i think we need to look at the situation in. two separate fronts: one is the internal front in occupied palestine where the palestinians are becoming more organized and better better equipped and more determined. and the second is the environment around the occupied palestine regime. there what we are witnessing is that the resistance front is becoming much more powerful, it's the islamic republic of iran, it's the hizbullah, iraq

and syria etc. this overall situation is now leading towards a an environment in which it would be virtually impossible for the zionists to defend themselves, and i look forward to the day when when this happens because that would be the end of the zionist entity. in occupied and on that note i appreciate both of you for being with us, thank you so much, out of cape town, coordinator key foundation, south africa, zangash, director of institute of contemporary islamic thought, out of toronto, and as always viewers we appreciate you being with us on another spotlight, i'm sounding myself and other group right here in tehran, hope to see you right here next time.
