fire being broken broken apparently by qatar, by if they are talking about seasfire, what about the gas, what about the seasfire occupy jordan, what is going on, there is another atrocity, us back military from israel are rolling into the genin refugee camp and just taking it over, not to mention the continuing air strikes against syrian airports, all of this has to be taken account, i believe when we talk about a real. fire in a long-term basis, but hopefully this fire at least will take place on gaza in order to give respect to the gaza are suffering enormous tragedy. mr. august, when we're looking at the humanitarian situation, so many um humanitarian organizations have expressed uh their concern and alarm as to the deteriorating situation and the catastrophe that's unfolding and as of the question.

would be here, what is the reluctance, what is the hesitation from opening, at least opening a uh humanitarian quarter to get some uh aid in at this point uh is it alarming uh in your views to see that so many people uh are dying right now hospitals are running low on fuel and still there's been no effort uh no conservative effort in that direction to start to get aid into ga well i think uh you know for us here uh in this program as well as uh people uh progressive people across uh the western states, it is alarming that this thing is going on, at the same time, one has to be realistic, one has to go back to the basic point that we have been putting forward many years, that the israely policy is one of genocide against the palestinian people once that once we recognize that, even though it is very ugly, one should not be surprised, the israeli us alliance tries to block

humanitarian aid to gaza, but because this may get into the hands of the children, the young people in gaza who will grow up healthy, able to resist the united states, when we are dealing with a country, i always say it's country, it's a terrorist entity called israel that is caring out genocide against the palestian people, we should not be surprised anything they do with regards to any kind of humanitarian aid to uh gaz, so they always oh yeah we support humanitarian aid to gaz, but as long as it does it does not go... to hamas, how do, how do they know whether uh, you know, some milk powder goes to hamas family or goes to someone else, because they refuse to recognize the fact, despite their vile hatred of hamas, hamas actually has a large amount of support within gaza, more than support people are are behind the resistance being led by the hamas garillas against united say, so the us is in a no win situation, they they they want to try to look good. by saying okay, we agree

with humanitarian aid, but at the same time, they threaten those who are giving it, make sure it got into the hands of hamas, it shows the complete misconception of the united states israel as a western racist society, incapacitated to accept the fact that the palestinians and think on their own, they they can evaluate on their own, who is fighting for them such as sas and who is against them, and this misconception. based on the us notion, the you know the the leader of the world, the uh the the the model for democracy in the world etc. this this thing has gone, this period has gone, no one believes them anymore, excellent arthur and journald august joining us uh from montreal, with that brings us to an end on this edition of indepth coverage of the war on gaza, but keep a close eye on our broadcast here on press tv as uh we're going to give you... the

latest information regarding the israeli onslot on the gauza strip, bye for now. bbc website have performed almost as poorly with one viral example highlighted by palestine's london ambassador, who called them out for referring to death palestinians as died, but israeli casualties were named as killed. many more examples exist, the coverage coincides with blatant one-sided approach from western government, a stance which palestine activists. say makes western media complicit in israeli wor crimes by providing a safe space for israel to conduct its crimes free of serious scrutiny. joining us today on the show are two very special guests, sister fahima mohammed is life coach and muslim of media personality that uses her extensive experience and credentials to facilitate difficult discussions on mental health and wellness in the mainstream and we're also honored to be joined via skype by dr.bride, former health and physical education teacher

and certified strength and conditioning specialist with the nsca. he's the author of two books, who is right, who is wrong, and why and god's healthcare initiative. he's also a former catholic who reverts. to islam after being exposed to the beauty of the quran. now if i can um address this question, as a visibly woman, you know, are you being challenged on your pro- palestinian? well from personal experience, i get called in for majority social issues, not necessarily political, and recently i've noticed that there's many sort of uh, i would say bay community or i would say muslims that are not actually on the mainstream as much as they used to over the last period, especially on this topic, particular, even if it's not myself that would be normally speaking about political issues, there are much more um analysts and political sort of commentators that usually are on mainstream have not been seen in the last few weeks and um that for me, even if you have a stance for a

particular group, they are being heard, but uh we're not being represented, i feel generally and just looking as as it um maybe as as as someone who's just you know looking at the mainstream generally. as speaking and who's coming out and who's actually giving their voices, it is definitely a disparity of that equality of representation, definitely. that's very interesting, dr.bride, in your book, i know that you've alluded to weaponization of anti-semitism, kind of something that um, i feel like fimar was mentioning, that they are not putting out people of color in the mainstream because they don't want them to say certain things. in this propaganda that zinists used to advance the narratives including the use of birthright. can you take us through these tactics? yes, the idea is that the non-muslim is, this has been the narrative that has been going on for centuries. you got to understand that this the the birthright idea and the

emphasis on someone being entitled to that land is is a skewing of what the jews and the christians have in their old testament, there's a a verse or there's the idea of the birthright. and if you talk about the birthright from abraham through his children, it it clearly talks about um the firstborn, and if i can, i'll reference the you can even look it up, you reference deuteronomy 21, 15 to 17, the right of the first born, and then that is certainly validated with genesis, and if you notice the numbers, it literally goes in order, genesis 43, 43:33 493 and exodus 13:2 and 2029. what we have here is an explanation of how the firstborn of everything get a double portion of whatever inheritance right the father brings about, and that would be, from our perspective, it

would be ishmail. now if you look at that and what's taking place today, it's just the continuation of the skewing of the truth that is actually happening in the ground there in palestine, everyone. escuing the truth and avoiding the inherent right that muslims have to anything, if that makes sense? it does, but talk us very briefly through the illegitimacy that the zints use of in comparison to isaac, based on the right of the firstborn with ishmael, ishmael clearly being the firstborn child of abraham, sarah and abraham were married for biblically, we can talk about 80 years, 70 80 years. before hagar in the old testament is given's mother is given by sarah abraham as his wife and the hopes that she, sarah will be able to have and help raise abraham's children because she can't do it, so in that society we have all

the family raising child, so sarah, the the the non-muslim would emphasize the fact that ishmael is an... even legitimate, but when you turn to the chapter on in genesis and exodus, you see that sarah is clearly giving hagar is a wife to abraham and the hopes of having children, then we have is born, we have the covenant made with god and the circumcision and all of this takes place before, isaac is even the same, so in that sense with the birthright versus and ishmael being the firstborn, we're all done with birth rights and inheritance right to any land and in particular abraham's importance to the world as a whole is not what land and numbers of people, the project, it is actually religious inheritance of which the old testament tells us that abraham's belief was so strong that it was perfect in the eyes the biblical god, so we have to remember that

abraham's inheritance is actually from a religious perspective, the message from allah, right, and fe of hima, so this idea of b right, i'm sure you've been um exposed to in your own spaces and that there's this plan to kind of create attachment to this identity you know and that land um why do you think they do this? it's very obvious, if you understand human psychology and behavior, obviously we need a story to attach and obviously to build so people have feeling of um actually supporting what he been out there that it's in policies of governments, i also want to bring it slightly different, because that might be one issue for one particular group and individual, but at the same time we have to understand media, in in the uk we can take it back to the 17th century where it could be backed, and that was obviously um sort of set up by few individuals and then as we progress to the 19th, 18th and century, there was only few individuals that actually did um have these kind of media outlets,

which was obviously um backed by policies and politics, so as we see now, um, as much as the narrative uh should be impartial and should be set a particular direction, obviously ofcom came in only 2003 to actually set these rules and regulations for people to have the right to not even be biased, not actually portray certain things in the media that we've seen today, which is actually quite surprising due to the regulations that are out there, and again we're not just international laws being broken, we see our regulations and policies being set aside and now they're backtracking, but the damage that's done in between is quite alarming, especially when we've got lives at risk and people are obviously attached to story, they will even if the news is not really reported in the correct manner way, then obviously there's repercussions of that in the same minute and second and and again it's costing lives as we know, so i think that we understand media that as much as we might we might think that oh you know it's fair and it's just but the people that actually behind these that own it, if you go into the history and and understanding where it comes from, it's a political agenda, and we are there to

basically sit there with you, presenters or journalists who are reporting in accordance to that as much as they want to follow the regulations, so um people that are streaming now and looking at media when it comes from a digital age has got much more wider access to information if they are aware of how to sort of separate their own biases, and if they were open to different narratives, i think we are definitely seeing a different set of um people regardless of you know officials and government policies because of the digital age which allowing um you know different types of people on the ground or from different areas reporting on current situation. do you know what i completely agree and earlier this week we go on the streets of london to see what public thought of media and the way it's been covering specifically the israeli war on gaz civils. i think it's quite propaganda the lot of propaganda media they only want to show us want us to see and i think the politicians are very smart at how they are representing the the british population because i don't

think it's represented um and i really believe the um the the the media is trying to brainwash the the population as to the truth of what's going on into the middle east and it's a shame really and i think the the people should rise up people should speak up people should know the truth and i think it's really important that the middle eastern countries also speak we should hear what they're saying show you what they want you to see other than what's missed buse it's more like i with the bottom bit fairly just covered and hidden, so it can be with just anything, obviously we don't hear everything from all sides, that's what true news should be, and unfortunately we don't get that, and especially obviously what's going on now in the middle east, especially on the mainstream channels we don't get both sides of the story, it's just a one-sided say opinion, but one-sided probably coverage is a more fair word to use, you want opinion because theory, the media, the news has to be neutral. in terms of politics, you can look at bbc and

it's changed over the past 50 years, but you have to say depending on who's in government, of course it changes, and also you think about in terms of funding, probably talk about boris johnson few years ago where he asked where where did that his fund come and from who? and maybe that in, you have to look at the bbc relationship relationship there, you could say that was definitely um, it tends to have like lot of uh false narratives because it's - pushing how like palistin has been on their sie for over like 60-70 years and just now there's a lot of attention because suddenly israel's under attack a little bit so they really want to get into it and they want to victimize israel whereas it's not really the case and yeah the media is definitely b and i can tell from qatar the world cup the amount of disgusting narratives that were there about qatar and their people and their human rights record it just to be honest all my left always thought the media is if you want to go to get your source of news or whatever but like in last few's is becoming completely acceptable, i mean this

has been throughout the years of and generations of occupation that we've been under in israel, but the level that we got to now is that it became nonsense, it became illogical, and it makes me wonder with the access to information and the access to the truth that the newer has now through social media and other type of access to information, they don't need to depend on these organization and corporations when the occupier is being... credited and the occupied is being blamed ashamed, it is very, very shameful. well, it's clear from what we've just seen that the public are aware of media bias, one member of public linking it back to money. now doctor, it's no secret that the ownership of big us broadcasters are owned by a handf of men. please, can you explain to our audience in by size format?

why does the us continue to fund and the media continue to protect the occupation in palestine? reference of quran, we were warned about this 1500 years ago, approximately 1500 years ago, if you turn in english, it would be chapter 18, sir, and if you look to verse 46, and i'll read it with my english transliteration, wealth and children, wealth and children are the adornment of the life of this world, but the good righteous deeds with reward were recommended for us five compulsory prayers deeds of obedience, etc. that last are... better in your lords sight for rewards and better in respect of hope, and remember the day we shall come, we shall cause the mountains to pass away, and you will see the earth as level plane, and we shall gather them all together, so as to leave not one of them behind, and they will be set before your lord in rows, etc. the idea is it's simple, it's if we pursue the

money, if we follow the track of money and literally with, thank god for the advent of social media, it can... totally skewed one way, as we saw in the birthright, i mean no one, except muslims and western society would acknowledge the inherent right of muslims in the acknowledgement of muhammad, and it's in the book, and now like i said in the quran were warned that this pursuit of wealth is not the way to go, but we have to remember why we're warn, because allah knows that this is going to be the path that the non-believers take. and we will be judged at the end. 1500 years ago we were warned that this wealth pursuit is going to be a problem for us and we're seeing that play out today. you can actually see that on um social media too and i want to direct that to you fahim um so many accounts so many muslim and non-muslim accounts on social media aren't actually talking about palestine and you know

it's it's very clear that they're worried about their funding the worried about their jobs but on the other side of things because of this because of the... wealth of information because of citizen journalism journalism in palestine on the ground, we're also seeing all these pockets of information coming through, alhamdulillah um, are you seeing that there's like a shift online um with the information war to be more pro-palestinian than in the past? absolutely, i think this one has really highlighted it more than before and i'm normally not even active myself when it comes to uh politics especially on this particular uh scenario and circumstance, but i myself had seen the unfairness and the biasness and also the misrepresentation and the one-sidedness of lot of the reportings and how that has an impact that i myself have taken a since, which i would normally do, because like i said, i talk more mainly on social issues, but as i've learned over time as well that you cannot ignore the political side of things of life, and it is poincides and it correlates, so i've kind of abbd into that sort of area even if i'm not um as like i

said as aware and also able to as my political commentator colleagues, however from eu given uh my perspective, i can see that these sort of uh narratives are not spoken as much as we should and we could because of the actual thing that you've sort of raised that there is also uh we have to be understanding as well that people's livelihoods are at rist uh we've seen in certain um places uh where it's even to do with any sort of like political event but people are representing the palestinian sort of flag or cloth or clothing they've been taken out of those spaces publicly so... there is definitely policy which is not law but it's been implemented so people that are at work in companies just like in europe for wearing and being in a particular way is slightly seeping through unfortunately in the uk as we see but um we need to obviously be aware of you know the laws that does not actually regulate that at the moment people are taking it into their own hands so and one hand i can understand that they will lose their livelihood from this but on the other

hand is what is our meaning purpose of being here in this world in the first place and we are seeing atrocities like you mentioned in front of our eyes. we cannot hold back. i really do feel from the bottom of my heart that everything that i do is for meaning and purpose. if i'm going to ignore this then it does not align with my values and my beliefs. so i cannot ignore it regardless of the consequences and circumstances and i wish that we have had more brave people out there because then we can out do some of the policies that are unfair so that we can actually bring it in line with what even the values are off the west and let's just hold them up and accountable for what they say they stand for, which differentiates themselves to being a democracy and having freedom of. and having the non-bias and judgement and the one-sidedness and being impartial and all of the rules that is in their sort of laws and policies we can help them uphold. um doctor, if i can address this question you and if you can. very briefly explains because we are running out of time, like despite the relentless, heinous bombing of ghaza, by the grace of god, alhamdulillah, pockets of information are still making they through to the world, and despite the

oppression being so visible, the prison lies as we saw earlier are continuing. are you finding yourself to justify the pro palestinian stances in your own professional spaces and for those what, you know, very briefly, what advice would you give them encountering this in their own lives? unless with my daughters, i just look like another white guy, and lot of people express their true opinions thinking that i would think the same way they do, and as i reference the sisters, by wearing hijab regular base, by being covered, you are clearly demonstrating your beliefs and in many cases, for us men they don't know our beliefs except by our behavior, so that by the time i am talking about what's happening in palestine or my opinions anything about religion or current. i hope that my behavior demonstrates and prepares my patients for the answers i'm going to give them and like you said like the sister is so clear the idea that that the

social media can be used for good bad because we see it by the evil people we also see about the people that are sharing truth out there we have to remember that in in neuroscience which do functional neurology the left brain will make up whatever it can to fill space, so if we look at the goals of what's taking place with the bad people, they are going to make up whatever truth they have to to achieve that goal, and that's what that's that's what's taking place, there's an author from from britain, eankrist, he wrote a book, the master in the emissary, and he describes literally what is taking place from a neuroscience perspective, and how the evil people, left brain dominant tends to lean towards bad decision making because there's no empathy on that side, and he clearly, accurately describes what's going on today, and that's why you in the social media arena

should be as active as you can, that's very general answer to your question, but it it really is, it revolves around particularly the sisters, because in my case, like i said, you can't tell unless i'm with somebody that looks the way we should. doctor, thank you so much for that. um, i've really enjoyed our conversation and i pray that you know the viewers at home take something from it. i think it's been made abundantly clear not just through this conversation, but through israel's own actions and constant backtracking of statements that there is war here, let's be clear, it's a genocide, there's symmetry, there's only pray and predator right and wrong, palestine and the colonial setter apartites of israel in the way in which that we can rebel against these horrific crimes at home, is by challenging their narrative online, also in our professional spaces. thank you to our guests for having this discussion with me today, thank you at home for watching, us again next week for another edition on ion islam.
