tv   SPOTLIGHT GAZA ONSLAUGHT UNABATED  PRESSTV  October 31, 2023 1:02pm-1:29pm IRST

1:02 pm
hello and welcome to press tv, thanks so much for being with us, the israeli regime never recover from what happened to it on october of the 7th, the palestinian resistance operation on it, or what has happened to it since then, it has been failure after failure, yes the regime for 8300 people, but it doesn't take military or strategic expertise to bomb civilian homes, their image, design image that spent hundreds of millions trying to create, you know, the one, the only democratic country in the region, the most moral military in the world, has not just been tournish, but has totally disintegrated. its invincibility has been shown to be anything but that that even today, day 23, the palestinian resistance repelled an israeli incursion into gaza and destroyed several tanks. i want to welcome my guest to the program and look at various aspects of this genocide on gaza, but also on the resistance. i'd like to welcome charlotte
1:03 pm
kates, coordinator samadun palestinian and prisoner solidarity network out of vancouver, and dom the bar, activists and commentator out of new york, thank you both for being with me, pleased to see both of you, but i start this off with charlotte, i mean charlotte, israel has become paper tiger, is this connected to what? washington's loss of power globally or not, how do you see it? well, i think it's very clear that what we're seeing taking place in palestine today, is it is genocide, it is genocide being carried out by a wounded beast that has taken serious and indeed mortal blows from the palestinian resistance and from the rising power of peoples around the world confronting imperialism and zionism, and so the response that we have seen to the uh tremendous action
1:04 pm
of the palestinian resistance on october 7th has been um and incomparable outrage by the zionist regime, the united states, france, germany, britain, canada and their partners in order, to call for all kinds of violence and destruction against the palestinian civilian population, um, in order to try to do anything to suppress the truth that was revealed on october 7th, which kind of showcased the strategic and military weakness or incapability of the zionist regime that despite all of these billions of dollars in weaponry provided every year by the united states, um, the occupation regime was not capable of meaningfully fighting back when it had to fight on the ground versus soldiers, so instead it's resorted to the only power that it has, which is carpet volving civilians from the sky and carrying out genocide against. the palestinian population,
1:05 pm
yes indeed, well don, now the the us has responded to all of this by sending aircraft carriers, general serving as visors, many say troops are actually american troops on the ground, although us president has denied this, but according to the washington post, two us aircraft carriers and their associated escort ships hawling some 15,000 personnel combined have been sent, also task force of 4,000 marines and sailors have been repositioned and another... 2000 support troops have been put on alert uh, what do you make all this, and as an american, i mean, what's going on here? you had to go and call me that, didn't you? well, you know, hide has done, um, you, there's a lot, there's a lot of to all of this, um, let's go back to september 22nd, when tradeau and zelensky, while he was on his last money grubbing tour, uh, were caught uh... raising an ss of you
1:06 pm
retired former 90 something year old ss uh jewish person killer nazi from world war ii in the in the canadian parliament and awful huge uh blowback from that politically for the us war against russia which is major you know project at the moment um and politically for the us generally in in the context of everything else that's been going on um here we are uh what eight days plus 30. uh days later and we have um an article in in the uh jewish chronicle today for example uh that basically points out that you know this riot that took place in dagistan which russia says was instigated by uh ukrainian intelligence which means us intelligence um had people writing and and uh looking for a jewish people coming in on the plane supposedly um and so this article says that uh you know...
1:07 pm
there's a tweet from one guy who's famous zionist on twitter talking about programs in the history of russia and then it says quote, the jewish president of ukraine, zelinski condemned the mob, saying appalling video from russia, angry mob brokento the airport searching for israeli citizens, is not an isolated incident, rather part of russia's widesbread culture of hatred. in other words everything that they were caught in trying to push off on russia, that happens in the context of the battle's going on, it was, it's all these things that that are going on, the incessant land theft in palestine and the extinction, the genocide in in the apartite states. there and the incessant drive towards capturing russia that began with hitler really and the us has been you know doing trying to do ever since, they're on the run in both places and and it looks like somebody tried to make a grand stroke and fix all of, but it's a really dangerous moment because
1:08 pm
they can't fix it, right? well at least not in the way that they're trying to do it. um, charlotte, your take, i mean, i've been talking um throughout the day about this this um... the israeli regime losing narrative, now you talked about more and more people taking to the streets and the outrage um that has happened because i mean we're we're watching genocide um real time uh on our television screens, i mean do you think that the israeli regime can recover from this of course as don has just pointed out they're constantly trying to put out false claims and again trying to play the victim card but your overall assessment now in vancouver i don't how many demonstration of you guys have had demonstrations in vancouver, have seen out of toronto, but overall what's your assessment? oh, we've just we had our last demonstration on saturday, and once again there were over 5,000 people on the streets, which is a tremendous number here in vancouver, to come out for anything, um, many people who were participating said it was the largest
1:09 pm
demonstration they'd ever been to in vancouver, so or at least the largest demonstration since the uh movement against the iraq war over 20 years ago, so these uh demonstrations in van and and montreal of course in cities throughout the us and cities throughout europe have been uh balloond in size. last week in london, there were over 500,0 people on the streets, there were 100 thousand out in madrid, it's a tremendous amount of support and solidarity with palestine. of course, if you uh turned on state media or corporate media, you would be bombarded with nothing more than propaganda to promote and justify genocide um you know taking place by the zionist regime with the full support of the us. canadian, british, german and french governments, um, but the fact is that people are not relying on the media is telling them. in fact, they're quite skeptical about the lies deception that that have been promoted um since october 7th, and of course before, and on so many other issues. um, i mean, from the war on iraq to uh, the the drive to push uh for the
1:10 pm
destruction of syria, the of libya, i mean, all of these things are things that were promoted through media lies, and what we can see from these numbers in the streets is that people simply aren't falling for the media lies anymore. they're recognizing that this is genocide that's happening right now and that people have a responsibility to take action and to stop it rather than to allow it to continue mean right now there's 17 member of parliament offices in canada that are being occupied by supporters of palestine calling for an end to canadian complicity and zionist war crimes uh just this morning there were uh like military facilities uh weapons manufacturers elbit systems in cambridge but uh there was a direct action by palestine action us to shut elbit. down there uh, this came the same day that people were blocking military contractors in toronto and in copenhagen as well, so in addition to the big mass demonstrations, there's a rise in direct actions directly confronting the involvement the war machine in these ongoing crimes that are taking place palestein. what we can see is like a mass popular level, the question is
1:11 pm
very clear, people are not coming out in massess and in thousands and tens and hundreds of thousands to stand with the zionist occupation regime, people are coming out to stand with the palestinian people and "this is, this is creating a real crisis, and because it isn't possible to come back from the reality people are seeing in real life in front of their eyes, you know, on social media, despite all the censorship that exists, people are hearing directly from palestinians in gaza, people are hearing directly when people's internet and communications are silenced, when people they followed and read and become friends with for years are bombed and are no longer and their lives and their families are god, i mean this is a reality for people and it's not possible to just kind of" bundle it all up into propaganda and wish it away, and so no, i don't think it's possible for um the design regime ever kind of launder its image again, so instead what these states are relying on is repression, trying to ban demonstrations, florida governor ron de santos threatening students for justice in palestine, german
1:12 pm
police attacking demonstrations and banning them, the french interior minister, threatening leftist political parties with terrorism prosecutions for speaking about how palestinians have a right to resist. can't win people over through persuasion, so they're trying to force people over through constructing a police state in to defend uh their zion settler colony and occupied palestine, well what about that done? i mean, we are seeing the head monic front go full force um with their support of this genocidal regime this time around, not that they didn't support it before, but they try to have somewhat of a simblance of a say of so-called process and human rights and the jargon that they usually use, but this time around and we're 23 days into this, and they're not even asking for seasfire, humanitarian seasfire, i mean it's as if everything is just out in the open and get. palestinian live, just go for it and we have to show up the israeli regime,
1:13 pm
no matter what it takes. so last friday for example, the general assembly uh debates and votes a resolution, pretty generic resolution, not blaming anyone other than saying, cease five, sit down and negotiate, this is very dangerous thing, that's a very bad thing that's going on, it should stop, um, the united states, israel and 12 other countries voted. against it in the 193 member uh general assembly um out of the other 12 voted against it six are part of the island chain that the us used as a nuclear testing ground in the 1950s and 60s so they're generally pretty complianent mar islands palao etc. um the other six uh you had you know some of the newly uh new nato members former warsaw pect members like um croatia and uh the czeck republic and and some others, the baltics. um, the world is against this, further, however, and it's one thing to
1:14 pm
absain, like most of the other european countries did, or to, to vote yes, but to do nothing to prevent this slaughter from happening, but you have a condition, across europe, for example, where the people were already in the street over what's going on in ukraine, where they've suffered now 50 something years of austerity, of declining standard of living, masturbated over the last two or three years by the war in ukraine to where they have to decide now for almost two years whether eat or turn on the heat um and there are the golden billion or whatever out of much of the rest of the world you've got a place like saudi arabia where uh the government was about to make some sort of a partnership deal uh with israel and the general population is ready to run to gaza to defend it um there's going to be some governments that are going to be tipped over by the people themselves if they're don't come down on the right side with some actual action, this this is a period of great instability and it's likely to be one of
1:15 pm
great change um and i think that governments need to be paying close attention to their people and start doing what the people want is to trying to find ways to repress them because you can only repress people so far history shows us no one has ever been successfully repressed permanently unless you killed all of them right the palestians are showing us that indeed indeed and and surely mean we've been talking about the agency taking place and guys which gears a little bit and look at the westbank as all the focus is on gaza and of course it should be uh with this unprecedented situation as taking place there at the same time the repression is so intense so much more intense now in the west bank uh as we know 270 people have been killed this whole year 122 since october the 7th have been killed the west bank and they are being cut off from um towns and i was talking to a couple of people in various areas earlier. and and their lives are absolutely hell and of course and have been,
1:16 pm
it's not new, it's a little bit more intense right now while the world is looking elsewhere, your thoughts on that, and of course one of the main excuses, we we know the israeli regime in hamas and there's no hamas there in the west bank, but go ahead, well i mean um the the the settler tax are going are running rampant, you know throughout throughout the west bank, uhlers have been you know officially deputized into these militias, just giving them kind of... which they already had, but even more openly to continue their violt attacks against the palestinian population the whole. we're also seeing these repeated violent military incursions. since the 7th of october there have been an additional 1650 palestinian political prisoners uh seized by uh zionist forces invading every single night. there have been over 100 marters in the west bank since the 7th of october just yesterday there were four marters whose lives were taken by the occupation. there was a massive invasion of janin camp. where you saw that the occupy army was met with massive resistance and it
1:17 pm
was forced to withdraw from the camp, but at the same time had um they took uh this metal horse that had been constructed in 2002 in the central square in refugee camp that had been constructed out of the the ridge of an ambulance that had been destroyed by the occupation military during their 2002 inv and so they they took a buldozer with a crane and arrested this horse and they they took a buldoser, they demolish the arches at the entry to janin cam, thinking that by destroying these symbols of resistance, they're somehow going to undermine the resistance of the palestinian people, which is deeply rooted. in the population, of course there are uh palestinian resistance from al khassam and the west bank, but also from islamic jihad, the pflp, from feta, all the palestinian political forces and resistance forces are united and confronting the occupation and are united in confronting the occupation in gaza and the west bank and throw out occupied palestine from the river to the sea. well, don, we've seen this rogue
1:18 pm
entity, not just what it's doing, of course in in gaza, west bank, we see it regularly attacking. syria, we also now see it uh with attacks in leban, and of course now hezbullah has also dealt with uh responding to those attacks, how likely is it that this whole situation will expend and explode in the region? it's israel's intent for it to expand, because it's israel's intent to expand its territory, i mean it's not a secret, they had maps and netanyahu was holding one of them up at the... a couple of weeks ago, last week, guess, mindpress news released today uh, a uh document that said was verified an advisory document from the the ministry of intelligence at at in tel aviv, dated october 13th, gaza's residents are going to be forced to relocate egypt and it said quote, it would yield positive results and positive long-term strategic
1:19 pm
results quote, the plan is ethnically cleanse as much land as they can around the... what that which they hold now, and we now looking at the program of design is going all the way back to the 19th century, israel's a pretty big place in their mind, and they've got the military where with all to try to grab it, and it's a threat everyone else in the area, it's a threat to iran, it's a threat to syria, they bomb syria regularly, so you know, they're doing this because they want to steal more land and they want to drive people out, they don't mind killing people and mass in order to accomplish that because god said it's their land. yes, we've heard. netanyahu quoting from the bible to justify uh his genocide, this the entities genocide this week. i have a minute, charlotte, your perspective, i mean, where do you see this going, um, as again today was day 23, over 8300 people have been killed in gaza alone, um, the western hegemonic front is asking uh for uh, even a humanitarians fire, but the
1:20 pm
people of the world, civil society throughout the world are become becoming more and more outrage. one minute, your take. absolutely. you know, one thing that's very clear is that the zionist regime has been able to with the support of the us and its partners, has been able to extract a tremendously awful price, the palestinian billion population and his intent on carrying out a full-scale genocide in gasa. at the same time it is also clear that this regime is incapable of carrying out a land invasion and that it will be, and that every time that this army is forced to confront fighters, the ground, it faces defeats, it faces losses, and that we can have confident strength of the palestinian resistance and in the and in the resistance forces in the region to repel this genocide and to repel this attack, and we also need to get out there on the streets and do everything we can to make to intervene to these assaults which are you know damaging and harming civilian population and stand solidarity with the resistance is bravely
1:21 pm
defending humanity in the face of injustice. on that note, i think both of you for being with me, charlet coordinates. vancouver, don debar activist and commentator out of new york, and as always we appreciate our viewers being with us right here on pressy, hope to see you right here at time, tomorrow, goodbye, the israeli enemy ground invasion has so far and unsex. this is what the gaza based palestinian resistance faction hamas announced on the 28th of october after it held back invading israeli occupation troops who overnight launched large-scale ground operations into the coastal enclave under the cover of intense air rates head losses were incurred by design enemies ranks as palestinian resistance repelled the ground incursion yet have cashes continued points of the northern gaza strip the enemy ground
