hello and welcome to president spotlight, i'mshimi, thanks so much for being with us, well this has been day 17. the israeli genocide on gaza, the strip of land with a civilian population of 2.2 million people has been bombed and attacked from the air, land and sea by tanks, by drones, by missiles and by fighter jets, fosphorus bombs have even been used on this population, half of whose residents are under 18 years old, despite this, the bombings continue as does the thirst and hunger of the people as essentials have been cut off to the gosa strip, more than 5,000 people have been slaughtered and 2,000 of them being kids. the mass murder continues as gazans face another night in the dark, except for the bombs exploding over their heads. i'd like to welcome my guests to
10:09 pm
the program, my first guest, saib shat, the author and middle east expert from belfast, thanks so much uh for being with me. i mean it's such a tragedy and it's so difficult to be honest uh just covering this this situation in the last 24 hours 430 more palestinians were killed in gaza just just tell me your overall assessment of things a denocide um is dicking place and the palestinian and the zinis entity got the huge support from shamelessly from the west, all all the west, which is surprising, you know to see west europe these days have no
10:10 pm
statement, no leadership like we can remember during the 2003 american attack on on iraq, at least there was the... german chancellor schroder that time and shiraq tried to act like degol in a way which is to stand up, they failed but they tried, but today you cannot say there is one who is trying to stand, at least to save the face of west europeans who talks about human rights and the geneva convention and the annex of the fourth annex and and and all of this, they cannot anymore talk about anything but double standards, they they today they took, obviously with the with the communique which is signed by all the western leaders under of course the hospices of mr. biden himself,
10:11 pm
they can say they are racist and adheres to fascis and zionist of course policies. when they show full support and still talking even in egypt conference which supposed to be under the name of peace, okay, of supporting the zianist entity and against the international law keep saying it's have the right to defend itself. how can an attacker have the right to defend himself against the victim? i don't understand - and last night and today as well, the people in the south of gaza striven, the city of janunis, which the zinis entity, with all the state of the art, american technologies and bombs and whistles
10:12 pm
and whatever, blown them people to bases who they push them down to the south, and we as well the the people of khanunis they speak of... unbelievable, unbelievable hell landed on them from the skies, so many killed, so many devastation, so many buildings, so many homes, people, you know, lots of names we are familiar with, unknown, young, young graduates of medicine haven't yet started their first day, and and and it's heartbreaking and all of that is under the watch of the mustran leaders, yes, indeed, indeed, let me, let me get farasel, human rights activist out of toronto, in on this discussion, feras, when i was talking to our cour. respondent um in khanus, he's he told me about the overall situation, besides the
10:13 pm
overall devastation and the bombs falling on their heads, he says everything has collapsed, the sewage system has collapsed, raw sewages in going into the sea, the soil is filled with depleted uranium because the israeli regime is using depleted uranium on these uh these civilian, the civilian population. and also phosphorus, we know the phosphorus bombs are being used, and he said they're just being poison and so many different directions, or bombed a daily basis, or just totally in shock and constant pressure, your thoughts for us, yes, um, i mean it's very clear that the zianist regime is just exposing its cruelty, it's evil establishment and its history, this is we have got to the peak point of these criminal acts and the israeli regime is losing grip,
10:14 pm
it's crumbling and uh, this is kind of like a hysteria, you know where they cannot control what they do, they just want to retaliate, they want to seek revenge for their losses and their weaknesses, and uh, really, truly, this is - showing in the world right now, if you look at the world stage and you see what's happening on the streets in the world, the massive amounts of people that are going out and protesting in all all countries, i mean, i was surprised to see protest in japan, in south korea, so many different places that are pretty much uh, you know, governments that are submissive to the us imperialist system, and the people on the ground, in the streets, the the populations are going out in support of palestine, so truly um, this is making more people angry and frustrated and hateful towards the israeli regime, they are not uh... uh gaining any allies anymore, they're actually only gaining enemies and the hearts of the people
10:15 pm
are going towards the palestinians and standing solid to the palestinians and truly uh you know you can see who cares about human rights and who does it in this case because you could like you mentioned all all the all the breaches of international law, all this inhumane uh you know attacks and uh punishment on a a whole stage i mean the whole country is being punished, okay? it's a collective punishment against the whole population of gaza, because they can't deal with the resistance there, the brave and bald resistance there, so they're trying to have everybody punished, and this shows you that they do not care about any laws in any way, this means that they're losing, they're losing, truly this is lot, this is a big loss for them, right? yeah, they uh, they seem to be realling and totally out of control. it's interesting that the uh uh the corporate media um still tries to use october the 7th
10:16 pm
of course the uh uh the absolutely amazing day uh of the resistance they try to use that to justify everything that is happening and as you said feras about totally ignoring international law, i want to read something from the united nations, the united nations of course resolution and and also we know this is part uh of the geneva convention. um that there's a lawful entitlement of occupied people to resist occupying forces by any and all lawful means, and then it goes to say that the resolution reaffirmed the legitimacy the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial, integrity, national unity, and that they can uh, they can resist occupation by all available means, including armed struggle, yeah, so so... i mean, we don't hear any of this on mainstream media, we don't hear this coming out of these uh
10:17 pm
western regimes that of course, this did not start october 7th, um, we're talking about 75 years of occupation of murder, of uh, just totally trying to torture the native population, brilliant to use the term native here, because that's what it is, it's the new world order. after the second world war, all these laws which govern battles and wars and whatever, they are actually in in their own liberal minds, as they say, from woodward wilson till till that minute is towards the white white societies white europeans and this applies on whites and if we notice in this last two weeks with the war being watched in gaza the genocide war, the ethnic cleansing, it's a racist war, it's like a
10:18 pm
crusade against the the the arabic region and the islamic people in there even the christian. who belong to that area, they are treated, no difference than than a muslim or or others, so the geneva convention, we can remember the french when they have the resistance against nazis and the dutch and lot of resistant in europe against the the the nazis, we they used to salute that, that is is a brave, but when you say to the french who send mercenaries today to to... to fight the palestinian, they there is no flights from france to occupied palestine under israel, but the french send the flights of mercenaries there to take part in fighting the the the palestinians, because of racism because what you see to them, geneva convention, the united nations charters, all of that is fine, they can apply it when they
10:19 pm
want the double standard, the hypocracy, this this would... need to shock these people and these people leading the west, they will pay the price from their own voters, next time uh these voters, because as as your guess from canada say the the the people in the streets, their heart with the palestinians now, lots of people going to the side of palestinians because they see the massacres, they see their tax payers money being used to support the the wars. on uh on innocent people in palestine, the the doctors, the nurses who has been asking for increasing their wage in the uk, and they said no, we don't have money, suddenly they see their money being get out of the treasury and going to toward israel to support wars or ukraine, it's disgusting, and it's it's it's about time somebody speaks about it and stop it, the
10:20 pm
media, they cannot control the collective public opinion, anymore uh because the people start tending to use social media and this and that you remember when they silence brist tv and other channels exactly because of the truth was broadcasted from b tv through a sky network and this and they didn't like that, they didn't like their people to see the truth, they want to lead their people like she people. well first the iranian foreign minister amir abdullah han has said region is like powdercag and things could spread and blow up very very quickly now your your thoughts on that and your overall assessment the situation as it stands, the likelihood of this expanding? yes, mean the access of resistance uh, you know, they are very
10:21 pm
determined to destroy this zionist entity, this occupation and free and liberate the palestinian people. and i think they're all very eager and they're standing patiently waiting for the uh the green light uh from the islamic leaders, especially from uh imam khamenei and for instance and sayid hasan nasar allah, sayid abdul malik from yemen, sheikhsal khali from iraq for the popular mobilization forces, i mean all these access of... resistance have been watching these crimes and they all have lots of military experience and they defeated so much of the zionist puppets such as isis and all these different groups and uh they have the determination and they have the strength and they are they're waiting for the opportunity to get inside and help the palestinians and freedom and uh this is inevitable there's no way around it there's no way around it uh we
10:22 pm
believe though the palestinians can free their land you know uh together once their... you know united and and they're you know uh causing more pain to the zinanis, mean in different cities and different areas inside palestine, the more unification the palestinian factions and different groups and also coordination and attacks, i think this is going to you know expedite the liberation process as well, but uh you know designs are playing with with fire and throwing gasoline on it, acting like they're brave and they're striking in syria sometimes and uh their... so fighting on the borders with lebanon with hizbullah and hizbullah is taking it easy to be honest, hizbullah if they wanted to, they can they can you know start a big war with the israelis, but there's a strategy. involved and there is some patience and there is some uh coordination between the access of resistance. um, i think gaza really wants to deal with this battle themselves, because they're palestinian and they have uh matured
10:23 pm
up and and strengthened up now to very strong resistance and you know, i think themselves, the palestinians have the strength now and the experience and the the unity and determination to really destabilize the zinanis regime and hopefully we're gonna uh get to a stage where it's going to be very close to liberation and um okay let me let me get side back in on this i mean we've been talking about guys of course the situation is deteriorating rapidly on the west bank um but more and more people are coming out i just want to go back to what ferus is just saying um as far as they're playing with fire because the palestinians now um i feel they're at point uh of no return almost because of seeing this carnage taking place. in gaza, those on the west bank, um, do you think that the israelis - that they have cross the line, they will never be able to
10:24 pm
return to the parameters that were set up prior to october the 7th, even if they want to return to that, they are not allowed, i would have agreed with your guess from canada, if the united states of america was like france or like, you know, the super power or the dominant power in the world, the israel acts as a function state for the united states of america or as an extension the net states of america, and israel in there it's the one who's suring up the interest of the west all together in the in that part of the world, oil, gas, transport, support, the whole thing, the strength of the united states of america as dominant power around the world comes from its dominance over the... oil and the gas and the transportation and that side of the world, which is that and the standard reserve currency of which is the whole world use,
10:25 pm
which is the dollar, it's linked to that, link to the oil is not or gas sold without the dollars, so this is like the the black gold cover to give legitimacy to the united states of america, this war in gaza is linked to all of that, links to the hegemany of the united states of america. link if the the palestinian managed to shake the core of the zin entity, the protector of its interest in that region, used to be two protectors there, shah of iran, which is the islamic revolution in iran, demolished and now the zist entity, the only one stays there, if this goes again out of the picture like the shah of iran, then the united of america is is not doesn't have any tools to leverage in the international arena. and the the new world order with the the multiplayers like russia, china, the bricks or the rest will come to fact de facto them, so this is why the whole
10:26 pm
west rushed to help israel to show up the zist to tell the settler, third missiles coming, batteriate missiles batteries coming, the all the the navy, the british navy, the air carriers, fighters in the america c3 and all of that, even today, if you read the new york times reported about the biden administration telling their own the zen entity israel delay its invasion, they putting it under the cover of to release the brisoners and give some little shipment of aid to gaza, but the america interest is to prepare for... attacks on the us interests, as in the region as in new york times mentioned, which is we see in the iraqi resistance attacking asad base, the yemani
10:27 pm
attacked send miss, the american said warship said we interacted some, but in the future it will get bigger and bigger, all right, and on that note, i would love to continue, i really would, but we're out of time, appreciate both of you being with us, fair, human rights activist out of toronto, sub chat, arthur, middle east expert out of belfast and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight. i'm signing out for myself and all the group right here in tehran. goodbye.
