hello, welcome to press tv spotlight, i'm marsia hashimi, thanks so much for being with us. jewish prisoners had their arms tatched by the nazis in the 1940s, so they could be itified. in gaza, 2023, parents right on their own kids legs so they can be identified. in case they're killed by the zionist, the parents say that at least the kids can be buried in marked grades as opposed to unmarked ones. they write their names to let the world know who they were, and for their kids not to be just a statistic, they're human beings with stories with families and dreams that may never be attained. bombs are dropping on their heads, phospherus and other incenderary bombs are being used by the israeli regime, which have killed more than 7700 people so far, with over 3,000 of them be kids, doctors say the

majority of those killed also had second or third degree burns, we're going to take a look at the latest, the situation in ghaza on the spot, i'd like to welcome my guess program, van rider and activists out of damascus and sabsh arther and west asia expert out of belfast, well thank you both for being with with me this off in damascus and vanessa, um, the definition of a holocaust is very large amount of destruction with the killing of a large number of people, especially when fire heat is involved, would you say that what's happening right now would of be classified as a holocaus? absolutely, and what's happening now is nothing more than a continuation of what happened in 1948, the the nare of 1948, the ethnic cleanser. of

palestinians has never actually stopped, people talked about scenes of palestinians being evacuated from north of gaza to the south of gaza and then having their convoys bomb by the israeli war planes as they were fleeing to what was supposed to be safe areas. we've seen 75 years of oppressive persecution of palestinians, the the inability for palestinians that were driven out of the lands and dispossessed of their homes in 1948 to return to their land and to their homes. now we're seeing an extermination, i call it the hiroshima doctrine, there is more explosives dropped on gaza in the last 20 days than in the atomic bomb by the united states of yoroshima. you know what we're seeing now is is genocide, it's extermination of entire people not only of in gaza but also in the west ban and the occupied. territories where mass arrests and

executions are being carried out with impunity and nothing is being said by western regime that of course since the balfore declaration have pledged their allegance to the zinest entity. well so um it's not a sign of military primalists to fly planes or drones and drop bombs a civilian population, it doesn't take uh military strategy to kill civilians. so what is the goal here of the israeli regime in killing and forturing so many civilians in gaz for three weeks now, the israeli regime have no goal, except event and acting as somebody who want to show they are immune from the international law and they can commit genocide, ethnic cleansing a massive scale with and and nobody can bring them to account since the united states america is covering them from the

international international community, if there is an international community, so the the the they the entity bringing what happened on the 7th of october, a relation commandos from palestinian national liberation movement, trying to push ecuation from their land, they want to the west and the world to think this as second. happened to them i want to quote what one once an israeli prime minister gold she is to say they really won't forgive the arabs because the arabs made the the the zist entity kill the arabs kids so under any circumstances nobody allowed to be victim except this entity and the israelies they are the only victims in here in their head. so they they

blame the the the whole international community now for killing the palestinians in gaza, that's what the logic, they believe in, since it is another holocaust, they want you want us to believe in the world in the west, this is another holocaus since the americans giving them full support and the western country sure sure them up and full full support and all what you hearing in in the in the media western media when they even interview any of the victims, do you condemn hamas? this is the only line there is in the media, do you condemas do you condem? they ask if they can wake up dead body in? of dead bodies, they will ask this question to that, that that much they are death and that much they are just doing what the zist entity, propaganda, atrocity propaganda machine wants them to do, we are facing something unprecedented, the amount of sharing and

destruction happening to gaza, cutting the water, the fuel, the medicine, the whole thing, the kids in hospitals and the incubators, hospitals collaps, international community watching that people cannot find water, they ignoring the idea of death in gaza and they searching for water now, we are facing, but saying that, saying that till now they are they they launch a massive career last night on gaza and they got pushed back. okay, so with me on that, i'm going to come back to you, i'm going to come back to you on that, but vanessa, i mean really, what saying and it's just it's absolutely unbelievable and sickening, um, what is going on? i mean, does the regime actually believe that it can totally empty gaza by either sending people who are left to the sane or to the jordan and or to jordan. i mean, isn't an overall a sign the settler colonial entities weakness that it's taking on the civilian population in the

way it has. well, i think you know, i mean i i compare always the zionist entity to al-qaeda, which of course they supported in the destabilization campaign against syria. qaida would never engage with the syrian arab army on the ground, it would bomb civilians in the various cities where it had embedded itself in the suburbs and the zionist regime, the zionist forces, the the iof, for example, they are not battle hardened soldiers, they're used to beating up children on the streets of the occupied territories, so therefore when it comes to a military operation on the ground, they are going to be uh heavily inflicted with with injuring with because the palestinian resistance factions are prepared, and you know what's extraordinary, so i mentioned - this playing victim, i mean gidian levi has has spoken quite openly about this, it's the only occupying force in history that is an

oppressive occupying settler state, it's not a state, it's it's a hit and run colonialist product that was established first of all by the british and then picked up by the americans who used it as an instrument their policy in the region a military outpost, a proxy mercenary entity that has been used and weaponized against nations in the region that the us has has targeted for for destabilization, partitioning and destruction and regime change, and when you look at the propaganda that people are talking about the so-called hamas and you know again, this is not only about hamas, this is about 17 resistance factions inside gaza itself, multiple other resistance. action some traditional and and have been there for decades, some new that have been established like the lions den in dunin, and when you look at what is actually the reality about the so-called hamas atrocities, we're now saying that 50% of the victims at the rave

party that by the way was being held on the outskirt, biggest concentration camp, open air concentration camp in the world today, 50% of the victims were members of the police forces, the security. forces and the iof, that the israeli forces were actually responsible for killing civilians in the crossfire, and two days after those civilians were taken hostige by hamas and were being sheltered in buildings close to gaza, um, the iof shelled those buildings, killing their own people, that you know we know that the beheaded baby story was retracted almost immediately, even by the white house, we know that various other stories like the rape stories and so on almost immediately retracted. also, but we also know the zionist media, the zionist corporate media is one of the strongest complexes in the world for misinformation, and therefore those lies stick, and as saib said, what are people talking about, the hamas atrocity two weeks ago, it's almost like the entire holocaust

that has happened since then against palestinian civilians, 3,000, more than 3, thousand children, dead, is completely denied, the west is actually becoming an anti-semitic. um ground invasion that the israeli regime attempted last night, let's talk about that, i mean, what's going on here, uh, because we have this very well equipped military that's supported by western regimes and yet we saw last night that they retreated, this is amazing, you know to see all the shurab by three uh, three, carriers coming from united states of america, the latest technologies

and maritime or 35's fighter still jets and all the ammunition came from the west and all the visits from the prime ministers of the west, the british, the german, the italian, the french president, joe biden before them and sending the marines as well, the expertise which the... of america brag about used in falluja or in north iraq in mosul and attacking the irakis to put it to put the experience and to lead the ground encourage ghaza all of that into what last night they manage with massive bombardment before that fright never ever anybody heard of such nasty bombardment like what happened last night in the ghaza and then before it, especially in and then north gaza, and suddenly netanyahu

comes in his press conference half an hour ago and say limited land, because there has forces which is amount to over 35000 soldiers around the gaza strip, and my colleague right from maskas, she said they only train to chase kid in the west bank and torture the palestinian people in the west bank, couldn't face real they don't have the morality like the people who own the right on their land to push the equipiers and those people who are with limited resources and blocade for 17 years not even toilet papers not allowed to enter in ghaza and they manage to manufacture an underground military system to to push back the united of america's latest technologies with the west and this entity this is unbelievable this is massive victory in here they achieved and i don't know except killing the civilians, as my colleague in

damascus said as well, this is the tactic terrorizing the civilians because they cannot fight a professional militaries like the syrian militaries when they done in syria or in iraq when d the same thing, the creator of of isis, the zist entity and its westeran backers cannot face freedom fighters in gaza fighting innovation, right? what what? vanessa because i mean basically we see the uh the zianist military and they're facing what they're facing in gaza, i mean how do they deal with the people basically have nothing to lose um but everything to gain, i mean how do you defeat that? you don't, you know, this is where it's absolutely ridiculous when netanyahu and and the zionist allies are talking about destroying hamas, they don't understand the essence of palestinian resistance, you don't destroy. one element of it, hamas, as i pointed out is only one faction inside gaza, the khasam

military wing is one of the strongest, the military wings of the resistance factions, but however there are multiple others and if you, for example wipe out leadership of hamas, there will be other leaders to take their place, because you're talking about an entire people, an entire nation, an entire movement, an entire principle for which they'... fight and they have a right to fight and to resist with every means possible under international law, this is forgotten about, you know, again, what does the zionist entity to, it trays itself as the victim, it's acting in self-defense, and the us, the uk, nations of the eu, france and germany in particular, talk all the time about the zionist entities right to self-defense, what about the right to... self-defense of palestinians, what about their right to self-defense for the last 75 years? but you

know what, also what was extraordinary for me last night was the fact that yemen besieged, blockaded, destroyed, devastated yemen since 2015, managed to fire missiles that actually landed in ilat in in in the occupied territories, extraordinary, and what you're seeing on the on the streets of london. for example, hundreds of thousands of people, and what are they chanting? they're chanting one state, they understand the problem, they understand that until the dist entity. is expelled from those territories and jews and muslims can live again in peace as they did before the zist movement began in the 1880s and the influx of european jews started even back then people understand and and the thing is what what what the z entity and the us and the uk in particular don't seem to understand

is that by allowing entity to do what it's doing to to to commit genocide in full view the world, it's losing all support, it's completely lost support in the global south, it's completely lost support, for example in latin america, but even among the people of the eu, uk and us, even the jews in the us were out last night demonstrating despite the brutality of the police, so actually whatever happens now, in my viewst entity has lost this war already. right, what about that? because we look at world opinion turning against the israeli regime as more and more people countries around the world are protesting vanessa just said and really getting it and realizing um what this is all about and and as you point out earlier uh the israelis designist always want to play themselves as a victims but they really have not been successful this time around in the

way that they wanted to your thoughts on that why is it that the zionist um have not been able to control the narrative as they usually do, and the importance of that in them losing the narrative? to pin point that it's the people in the west, they they have a bad experience with the americans and tony blair in britain in 2003 when they were lying, tony blair lying to the parliament and telling them minister the iraq is having these rockets which can reach us with... weapons of mass destruction reach the uk, i mean in 45 minutes, and the same thing, the united states of america going to the security council and the there is, i forgot his name, paul holding that thing is saying lying to the united nations to the world, that's the irakis having weapons of mass destructions and after that is one and a half million

iraqi dead, push a c of civilization to the world, which is babylon that back to the stone is still today looking the wealth of that country, destroying the arab world and the trying to destroy all west asia and the same time, all of these lies, they made the people believe the this media, which is run by mordock and the rest of them is embedded with the west, it's it's part of the western military force, it's not a neutral media, so they lost a trust in it, the bbc and the rest them is is mad pieces to the elite wh wants to rob the world from its resources and to dehumanize most of the world in the name of the civilized west and destroyed and looted, but today the lot of the people they take their their information from the social media, before breast tv used to be in sky and people, sky network in europe and different

countries in europe or in us in canada, and people can at least go there and take some of the truth life. but but they denied them that people have to go to the internet to watch breast tv or to go to social media to see clips or live clips coming from gaza and the people start building the public opinion and this galvanized behind the palestinian cause i see today calls in in a massive demonstration i took part in the the the the the slogans for to dismantle zanism and apartite state from palestine to create free palestine. from the river to the sea, which for everyone, the muslim, the christian and the jews, this is brilliant when the people in the streets start understand, but on the other side we have the elite, the western elite, the western elite who is backing up with its multinational companies, the the the design entity which is their first military base in the middle east to protect the that

the oil and gas and the transport so the united states of america and the western countries eu britain behind guarantee their dominance in that region and their position globally, this massive blow they received in gaza shaking that. well, vanessa, i only have a minute left, but i mean looking at this regime and and how out of control it is, no respect for human lives and using um, these illegal weapons against the civilian population, i mean i want to look at the the aspect of how dangerous this entity is for the world, because it also. has nuclear weapons and how responsible these west regimes are in supplying both conventional and non-conventional weapons to this genocidal regime yeah mean you know this is really um for me israely ambassador for example should be expelled from the un immediately, the us and the uk if they continue to participate in the genocide and

the extermination of palestinians that has been conducted by the zinest entity with weapons and technology supplied to them by the west, then they should be perceived as aggressor nations, violating international law and complicit in genocide and ethnic cleansing, and as such of course they should be held accountable under international law. what they also rushing towards is is to give um under international law, the right of nations that stand in solidarity with the resistance, a right to react against them in self-defense. exactly the same argument, that the zianist entity always uses and of course it's bombed syria multiple times in the last few weeks. there are reports that there are threats against the life of president assad by the zionist entity and if we reach this level um of escalation of this conflict with

the active alliance of the us and uk then we're heading for regional escalation. all right, on that note, i think both of you for being with me, even aslee writer and activis out of damas, author and west asia expert out of belfast, and you view. for being with us on another spotlzia hashimi, hope to see you right here next time, goodbye, a talk with remarkable people, revealing the secrets of the complicated puzzle of an occupation, who caus the occupation of palestine? how was the land of palestine gradually occupied by zionists? hear the truth about the collization from lane c
