than 5,000 people have been slaughtered and 2,0 of them being kids. the mass murder of 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 the program, my first guest, saib shat, the author and middle east expert from belfast, thanks so much uh for being with me, 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 side just of just tell me your overall assessment of things genocide um is dick in a place and this nical cleansing of the palesinian and

"the zist 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 state men, no of leadership, like we can remember during the 2003 american attack on on iraq, at least there was the german chancellor schroder that time and she." tried to act uh like the goal in a way which 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. took about uh

anything but double standards, they they today they took uh obviously with the with the communique which is signed by all the western leaders under of course the auspices of mr. biden himself, they can say they are racist and adheers to fascis and bros and zionist of course policies when they uh show uh full support and still talking even in egypt conference which supposed to be under the name of peace, okay, of supporting the zist 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's riven, the city of janunis, which the zist entity, with all the state of the art, american technologies and bombs and whistles and whatever, blown them people to bases who they pushed them down to the south, and we as well the the people of khanunis, they speak of unbelievable, unbelievable, hell landed in them from the skies, so many killed, so many devastations, 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... human rights

activist out of toronto in on this discussion. when i was talking to our correspondent in khanus, told me about the overall situation, besides the 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 b are being used and he said they're just being poisoned in so many different directions or bombed a daily basis or just totally in shock and constant pressure, your thoughts for us, yes, i mean it's very clear that the zianist

regime is just exposing its cruelty, it's evil establishment and its history, mean this is we have got to the peak point of these criminal. and the israeli regime is losing grip, it's crumbling and uh, this is kind of like a hysteria, 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 you, 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 pal, so truly um, this is making

more people angry and frustrated and hateful towards the israeli regime, they are not gaining any allies anymore, they're actually... only gaining enemies and the hearts of the people are going towards the palestinians and standing in sal their to the palestinians and truly uh you know you can see who cares about human rights and who doesn't 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 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 uh 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, and this means

that uh they're losing, they're losing, truly this is a this is a big loss for them, right? yeah, they they seem to be reeling and totally out of control, it's interesting that the uh, the corporate. media um still tries to use october the 7th, of course the uh the absolutely amazing day uh of the resistance, they try to use that to justify everything that is happening, and as you said 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 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 of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity, and that they can,

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 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, you use the term native here, because that's what it is, it's the new world order after the second world war, all of these laws with govern battles and wars and whatever, they are actually in in their own liberal minds as they say from wodward 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 crusade against the the the the arabic region and the islamic people in there, even the christians who belong to that area, they are treated. no difference than than a muslim or an or others, so the geneva convention, we can remember the french when they have the resistance against nazis and the dutch and lot of resistance 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 fight the palestinian, they 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 want the double standards, the hypocracy, this this world needs to shock these people and these people leading the west, they will pay the price from their own voters next time, 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 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 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 media, they cannot control the collective public opinion anymore, 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 broadcasters 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 the region is like powdercag and things could spread and blow up very, very quickly now,

your your thoughts on that, and your overall assessment of the situation as it stands, the likelihood of this expanding, yes, i mean the access of resistance, uh, you know, they are very determined to destroy this zionist entity, this occupation and free and liberate the palestinian people, and i think they're all uh very eager and they're standing patiently waiting for the uh the green light uh from the islamic leaders, especially from imam khamenei and for instance and sayid hasan nasar allah, sayid 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 uh of the zionist

puppets such as isis and all these different uh 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 believe though the palestinians can free their land you know uh together once they're you know united and and their you know uh causing more pain to the zinis, i 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 the zienits are playing with with with fire and throwing gasoline on it, acting like their brave and their striking in syria sometimes and they're also fighting on the borders with lebanon with hizbullah and is is taking it easy to be honest, hizballah, if they wanted to, they can, they 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 oxes of resistance, um, i think gaza really wants to deal with this battle themselves, because they're palestinian and they have matured up and and strengthened up now to very strong resistance, and you know, i think themselves, the palestinians have the strength. and the experience and the unity and determination to really destabilize the zist regime and hopefully we're going to get to a stage where it's going to be very close to liberation. okay, okay, let me, let me get side back in on this, i mean, we've been talking about guys, of course situations deteriorating rapidly on the west bank, um, but more and more people are coming out, i just want to go back to what feras is just saying, um, as far as they're playing with fire, because the palestinians now, um, i are a point 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 uh that they have cross the line, they will never be able to 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 not 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 united states of america and israel in there it's the one who's showing 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... which is that and the standard reserve currency of which is the whole world use, 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 hijomany of the united states of america, link, if the the palestinian managed to shake the core. the zen entity, the protector of its interest in that region, used to be two protectors there, shah of iran, which is the islamic revolution in in iran demolished, and now the zist entity, the only one stays there, if this goes again out the picture like the shah of iran, then the united states 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 multi players like... russia, china, the bricks, all the rest will come to fact de facto them, so this is why the whole west rushed to help israel, to show up the zionist, to tell the settler, third missiles coming, batteriat missiles, batteries coming, the all the the navy, the british navy, the air carriers, fire fighters in the america 73, and all of that, even today, if you read the new york times reported about the biden administration telling their own design entity, israel delay its invasion, they putting it under the cover of to release the prisoners and give some little shipment of aid to gaza, but the

america interest is to prepare for possible attacks on the us interests, as in the region as in'. times mentioned which is we see in the iraqi resistance attacking asad b, the yemani attacked, the american said warships said we intercepted some, but in the future it will get bigger and bigger, 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 activis out of toronta subchef, author and middle east expert out of belfast, and thank you viewers. for being with us on another spotlight, and marzia hash me signing up for myself and all the group right here in tehran, goodbye.

the zionist enemy decided to conduct a ground

operation in gaza under us protection, but it's still hesitant implement it as the resistance awaits him underground and above it. the existing coordination between the forces of the axis of resistance witnessed an expansion in the activities of popular support for the resistance in palestine, and that seems to have become an upward path. accompanied by increase in the level of field support for gaza from inside and outside the historic palestinian map. a 10th base, koniko base, ain asad base and al-harir base were all under iraqi and syrian resistance fire, while yemani ballistic missiles aimed at the israeli occupation were intercepted by the us navy this time. west asia headed for total war this week on the mediast stream.

we have a full understanding of how the people of palestine have taken up this issue. if we all work together, palestine will be free. people getting together for to protest the ongoing genocide on the gaza strip and on occupied palestine as a whole. this is intolerable and cannot continue.

top stories here on press tv, day 17 of israel's onslot on gaza, more than 5,000 people have lost their lives, nearly half of them children, uh palestiny. the sense movement hamas says it's released two more female captives on humanitarian grounds free palestine free palestine free palestine free palestine and millions of people around the world voice solidarity with the people of palestine calling for an end to israeli bloodshed in gaza.
