it's a genocide but a massive scale. 22,000, i'm sorry, 12,000 tons of bombs have been dropped on the gaza strip. the casualties are more than one could even digest. mostly women and children have been killed up to 70%. but what's been called a genocide is something that the international community cannot prevent from happening. in this edition of the program we will look at the genocide that's taking place in the gaza strip along with the support. that israel is getting from its partners like the us, france, the uk and germany, and whether that means that israel is unable to handle this conflict all by itself. first let me introduce our guests. journalist and political analyst, joins us from brussels. we also have a coordinator.
10:05 pm
the zak zacking foundation, south africa, joining us from cape town. welcome to you both, elijah magneer, thank you for joining us. let's take a look at uh something that iran's leader, where we reported uh just hours ago said about the visits that were being made by the heads of state uh like the eu's vanderlayan or the us presidents or germany's uh and then the french presidents, the uk prime minister, he has said that the visits mean that israel cannot handle this, that it needs the support, uh, not. just uh emotional support, i guess, but the military support that, in order for it to try to uh, i guess go after the goal that it's after, and that's eradicating hamas, do you see it that way? thank you for having me, of course it is this way, from the first beginning of the conflict and the war wage from israel against gaza, benyamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister, came out and repeated more than 32 times. that the americans are bringing the
10:06 pm
two carriers to the middle east, and he asked for the american support. moreover, the americans sent 2000 of their special delta forces to israel, and they recently sent leutenant general glyn to support the israelis in the attack on gaza showing how incapable this israeli vulnerable army is. when it used to be indicated as the most powerful army in the middle east, and all of that is to help israel in making sure that the other front with lebanon against hizbullah is not going to disturb the israeli attack, moreover, that the israelis are incapable of attacking gaza without the exp the experience. and the experience of the
10:07 pm
israeli of the american uh officers and soldiers who have been dealing with isis in iraq, therefore. so this is the military aspect, the other aspect that is most important is the americans deciding when the congress will be operational to send 14 billions to israel, that doesn't make america as a comp and a partner with ben in the war on gaza, but it makes it the first actor against gaza because israel never there to attack any country or attack the palestinian or lebanon without making sure first there is a bridge of a supply of ammunitions, because if we remember in 2006, after only two weeks they run out of ammunition, so now they have
10:08 pm
used 12,000 tons of explosive in only 15 to 16 days on gaza, so they - "they of course need more ammunition because they don't have enough to continue massacring the civilians in gaza. secondly, by supplying the israelis with 14 billion dollars, is to look after their economy, because they have lost, from the first day, the israeli stock market lost 13 billion dollars in just 24 hours, so with all the 3000 reservists joining the israel. army with a crippled economy, with the damage to the local economy, with the internally displaced israelis that reach 150,000, that
10:09 pm
needs a superpower to support the israel so they can continue inj genocide against the people of gaza. all right, so this an interesting point that i like to raise.... with you znabed gaddafi, um, our guest are talks about the uh type of military assistance uh that uh us is giving israel, we we know in terms of uh the what the us has proposed to get from congress, they're going to get it for sure, but what's more uh alarming is when you take a look at uh the military assistant since the war started, which was october 7th, now we understand between 45 to 60 um loads of military equipment has flown into uh israel uh and it amounts uh to 1,00 tons of ammunition of which we know that at this point 12,00 tons have been dropped onto the gaza strip, along with other military equipment that israel has received, he noticed how quick that went into israel, but when it comes to the humanitarian
10:10 pm
assistance, how long did that take? we noticed that to have taken a lot longer, and at this point just in the past 24 hours, 700 palestinians have been killed, 300 of them children, and we know... that there's so many injuries that this needs to get into the strip, what is in there is described as drop in the bucket, what does that say about the urgency on those two fronts, humanitarian assistance versus military uh military one for israel? uh, yes, thank you for very much for having us on the show, of course, we see that the urgency and the need of the illegitimate dynasty regim to request and to facilitate anding of ammunition, aid, money and military. personnel from the united states, it shows a clear cut evidence and proof to the world that designist regime can no longer even contain the palestinian resistance, let alone destroy the palestinian resistance, it shows that the palestinian resistance through each coordination with the
10:11 pm
islamic resistance axes, being iran, hizbullah, the factions of iraq right up until the ansarullah in yemen, shows that this coordination has resulted in a military force in the palestinian resistance factions and therefore with the multiple fronts being the front with the fighting and the attacks from hizbullah to the attacks from the palestinian resistance, it shows that the zinest regime can no longer handle the heat, they can no longer contain hamas, they can no longer contain the palestinian resistance, let alone destroys and therefore they are now seeking all this aid both humanitarian through. and through military assistance from the united states of america to assist them in this genocide and of course the assistance from the united states to the zist regime it shows something to the world that they've always shown and that the world has known and now they're showing it again that the united
10:12 pm
states itself it is a supporter of genocide, it's a it is a supporter of a sinust regime breaking international law and imposing the worst kind of disasters up in palestinian nation. an interesting development that has come out that has been revealed here elijah magneer is the fact that he had the secretary of state anthony blincon uh going to uh qatar. this is going back actually. a week to 10 days ago where he requested from the prime minister to uh basically have the al-jazera channel toned down his coverage of uh war on gaza uh here you have the us that is supposed to support independent press globally but yet anthony blincon is ask asking the qatari pm to do that now tell us why the us would want that because we know that this war on the ground and th the decisions being made behind closed doors in terms of the execution militarily is not something me and you can perhaps prevent uh, but what we can do is the
10:13 pm
other war, which is the media war that's going on, the western media versus what's happening, i mean there's there's only, you just have to cover what's unfolding inf our eyes, um, do you think that that war is being one, because it is said that this is the first time that genocide is happening in front of the world's eyes and it's showing both israel and the us, and of course us's allies. to support as well, the true colors, so first of all, secretary blincon, twice on twitter or x, requested an immediatefire, and then he deleted his tweet because israel was just coming out of the shock that hamas brought to the israels by defeating the israeli gaza division. secondly, the israelis cannot. stop from day one, otherwise the israeli government will fall and most of the
10:14 pm
israelis will leave palestine, immediately, they want to see the blood of the palestinians, they want to inflict the larger number of the palestinian casualties to satisfy the thirst that they've got the revenge. now if we look at what's happening in gaza, the hamas and the islamic jihad never stop bomb. the israeli settlement from day one, not withstanding the quality of bombs that are falling on the gaza city, secondly, just in the last 48 hours, hamas came out of gaza, and attack postal settlement, showing to the israelis how their capability is still intack, thirdly, the prisoners that were the host that were released by hamas, the civilian one said that they have never heard any bombing regards the
10:15 pm
fact that gaza is bombed every single day by the hour, and this is why the number of casualties so high, because the israeli never stop bomb gaza day and night, for the hostages not to hear anything, to be under the ground, walk for kilometers, it shows that the israeles are incapable. of reducing the capability of hamas or the palestinian resistance in the city. this is why we start hearing from the secretary general of the un talking about the israeli violation of international laws that created all the anger from the israeli reaction asking for his resignation and this is why we hear the former israeli prime minister lapid. saying if the mainstream media speaks the truth, it means they are supporting hamas, and if they
10:16 pm
say what's happening on both side, it means they are supporting hamas, because he understands that the mainstream media cannot pretend to be blind all the time, particularly with this large number of civilianan killed and the violation of international law by cutting water, electricity, bombing hospitals, churches, most and all the civilian residential area flattering completely neighborhood, all that cannot continue to be not mentioned by the mainstream media, this is why the israelis are starting to lose the control over the media, where information is coming out, and this is extremely upsetting the israels and i think now they're looking for solution not to be further embarrassed and not in all of gaza because they understand they walking into their own cemetry. well, you have uh, what's
10:17 pm
been said by even the us special military advisors who are on the ground, in the occupied territories. that have said that israel uh is uh, not, not, not just the weakness part militarily, but it doesn't have a plan that's logical in terms of an endgame, because just killing palestinians uh. and hoping that they are, guess destroying hamas through the carpet bombing that's occurring on the gaza strip that it would do that, even though the word is still out on the so-called ground. but many are say israel's not going to partaken at least uh at this time uh that's pretty scary if they don't have an end game to this and that is one of the things that actually the us has criticized israel for. um what could be the end game here then behind the killing of the children women and the innocent palestinians? yes since the 7th of october the isiness regime could not give
10:18 pm
definitive answer on whether they are going to enter into a ground invasion. the only reason why the zist regime will not be enter into a ground invasion currently with the palestinian resistance is because it has seen the superior military precision of the palestinian resistance, it has seen the high coordination of the resistance and of course it has seen that the palestinian resistance has destroyed its intelligence network and of course this is proven by the fad al-aqsa operation so the zist regime at this point are still since the 7th of october up until now have not given a... definitive answer on whether to enter into a ground invasion, because it does fear, rightfully so that the palestinian resistance is superior is already armed in a superior manner for a ground invasion that they may and will be embarrassed and defeated as they were since with the inception of the fredal aqsa operation and the zionist regime is still somehow trying to maintain this picture that
10:19 pm
they are that invincible power in the middle east, it is therefore that the... continue to bomb day and night the haz strip at bombs hospitals, they are continuing to kill civilians and we see then more than 6,500 people in the hazza have been marted and they want to try to reestablish an image of invincibility, but the palestinian resistance, they've destroyed that image, they've destroyed the intelligence networks supported by global superpowers such as the united states, yet they were able to defeat the intelligence networks of the zionist regime. still they are continuing to shall and to fight back against the zianist regime regardless of the loss of life that we suffer in the haz strip regardless of our marters, regardless of the damage to buildings and infrastructure, the palestinian people and the resistance are certain in their resolute to defend themselves, to stand up for their right of self-defense and to offer a military
10:20 pm
precise resistance to the occupation of the illegitimate regime, so right now continue to continue to bomb and continue to pum ghazza with this idea to reestablish an image of invincibility, but the signers of failing, the world is seeing it, and even yesterday, emmanuel macron of france, he suggested that the western coalition that was activated to fight isis be used to eradicate hamas, why would the french government and the french president make suggestion like this, because the french like the rest of the world have recognized that design regime are unable to handle the palestinian resistance. this shows the military precision and this shows that palestinians are getting into gear not only for their liberation, but of course to eradicate the presence of the zianist regime in the future. we need to have you, elijah magneer if you can for us, break us down, break down for us, that is the military uh
10:21 pm
steps that the us has taken, from what we understand, washington at this point is the scrambling to bring in uh what we understand to be nearly dozen air defense systems such as the uh the iron dome missile system, two two of them and also the tad missile system, which both can be used by the way offensively if they wanted to, um, and what is um, especially unique about not only the military aspect of this, but in terms of uh the forces that they have brought in, uh, we understand that there's a a general that uh the us has actually brought in weeks ago, his name is senator, i'm sorry general james glenn, and he's the former commander of the marine force special operations command, who i guess has experience in falluja, because it's in the warfare there based on how he said he's been successful there to try to go in to try to save some of the captives, now my question is, first of all, does the us track record
10:22 pm
even show success when we saw how they withdrew from?
