of israel's massacre palestinians continued, the latest figures, almost 9,00 murdered, including some 3700 children and 2200 women. iran's leader has said that muslim government

must insist on immediate end to the crimes and also to block oil exports to the zionist regime, while the irani foren minister has said that israel and the us will have to prepare for a harsh response if the gaza bloodched continues. more and more, this war is coming a cost for tel aviv. well israel conducts his ground operations inside of gaza, israeli prime minister netanyahu is taking a beating for not caring enough for the captives. this is while the war has widened regionally involving hisballah a limited scale and yemen. while miss missiles from syria have been fired at israel sporadically. to make sense of it all, let me introduce our guests. richard metters, journalist and commentator joins us from viena. all so joining us is bill doris who's an anti-war activist organizer from new york. welcome to you both richard. let me start with you and i'd like to start out with what the iran's leader has said uh. "the people in

gaza, he said have stirred the human conscience with their patience," and he said, even in western countries, mentioning england, in france and states across the us, he said people have come out in huge numbers and they've chanted slogans against israel and the us government um and he said that their reputations have been ruined. how much would impact have these countries that are so strong and their support for israel suffered in their global standing? do you think? hi, thanks for having me on. i think um the the words of iran's leader are very important because we we have a problem here where people in england, people in the west are coming out in their hundreds of thousands and saying we don't want warring. "we want you to stop arming israel," and the governments don't listen, they they you know they do not represent their people in in any aspect, and you you know you think this is this is normal, because it is the west that created israel and bankral israel, but the problem is that the arab countries is doing it too, jordan only today, after you, almost a month

of israel bombing gaza, only today finally recalled its ambassador, and even that is not enough, you have latin american countries, bolivia cutties, and colombia were called their ambassadors, these latin american countries are doing more than some arab countries, you know, so uh, i, i think that their global standing is suffering lot, and their global standing of these western countries is suffering equally, but but if the arab countries don't wake up, and i'm talking especially about the kingdoms in the persian gulf, if they don't wake up and do something, uh, you know, they are really going to suffer, and someone like kier starmer who's the labor leader in england, you know, he when it was ukraine, he had no problem calling putin a war criminal, now when it comes to netanyahu, you know, he says it. not his his place to decide who's a war criminal. i mean, this is, this is hypocrisy and double standards and it's such sad state of affairs that we can choose in england between the tories and tories light, and the problem is they're all zionits, and they always have been, you know, the these people do not represent anyone in england, and the

protests that are coming this, this saturday and next saturday are going to be even larger and they will hit 1 million if not more. all right, bill dorus, in terms of the activism. new uh the iran's leader has also okay uh well richard let me ask you about another statement from iran's leader which uh kind of applies to how you say the persian gulf uh arab countries can do more and he has said that uh muslim governments overall must block the export of oil and other essentials to what he called designist regime they can they can obviously do that and uh you know this has the air and the uh feel of the bds movements. uh in a sense but a much larger scale that requires obviously the um realization and then the action uh of uh countries regionally in terms of the oil perhaps and then internationally in terms of not buying goods made in israel, do you think that the will is there? it it is not there

unfortunately and the thing is that you know we cannot just uh leave all of the responsibility uh and shoulder the responsibility on people coming out in london, it is the arab country uh, especially those with gas and oil, that should be shouldering the main responsibility, not only as arabs, but also as muslims, there needs to be solidarity, there needs to be respect for other human beings, the you know, there was a time when these arab countries were one arab country, and they do have a common tongue and a common history and a common religion and a common culture, but where is the respect for that? egypt could close and shut the swez canal right now and stop this war, saudi arabia could shut down oil exports for... a week and stop this war right now, they are not doing this, to me this is a gross betray not just to fellow human beings, but to fellow arabs and fellow muslims, it is it is truly uh hurtful uh and i can't imagine what people in gaza feel, you know they they the desperation and just looking around and thinking, where are you our fellow arabs and

muslims, where are they? uh, it's it's not coming from these gulf kingdoms, the only ones that are really doing something are the access of resistance, you know, yemen are firing ballistic missiles all the way from a thousand 500 kilometers uh and they haven't even had time to rebuild the country. syria is the same thing, syria is barely standing because of this war for 10 years has been waged by the west, and it's still trying to help, you know, iran, syria, they're under sanctions, they're still trying to help, and i think that is very admirable thing and it's an example for the rest of the region and the rest of the world to follow. all right, i've picked one more statement by iran's leader, we shall come back to that later. i'd like to now reflect on what iran's foreign minister uh has said. that uh today, he has warned against israel's relentless onslot, and he has said that both tel aviv and washington will have to be prepared for a harsh response if the brutalities continue. this kind of reminds me of the way that hamas came out

time and again warning israel when the alasa mask desecration was taking place, when they did those incursions and they killed the palestinians, when they detained the palestinians, they kept issuing warning after. for warning after warning, iran has issued number of warnings now, and this one saying that uh, you better watch out, because you have to prepare for a harsh response, do you think that israel needs to be ready? for that israel are not ready for anything uh we we saw how hamas which are not not just under sanctions are under siege uh you know which are basically the same thing but it's even even worse in gaza that look what they were able to do nevertheless you know that hamas infrastructure is completely intact the the tunnels are intact their firepower the their strategy and tactics are intact israel have been trying every day secretly to get into gaza and they are failing a daily basis and that is why... they haven't quote on quote you announced this ground invasion, the because they keep failing, they cannot get in, so can you imagine what lebanon, what

hazballah have prepared for the israelis, what syria and iraq, the hash shabi have prepared for the israelis, never mind what iran has prepared, iran has had these missiles for 30 years that can already reach tel aviv, so you know, and yemen also, as i said that is already reaching the you know the occupied palestinian territories, i mean yesterday the israelis failed to shoot down one of those yemen missiles and the... they didn't say where it landed, which gives us an indication of how embarrassing this is that yemen were able to hit them all the way from you, 1,500 kilometers and cause casualties. the thing is that also are already involved in this war, you know, they are, they have stretched israely forces thin, and they are pounding israel's towers, their infrared sensors, their electronic surveillance and radar equipment every day, they are blinding the israelis in the north, so this is already putting pressure on them, and not to mention in in syria and iraq, the youin asad based in iraq is being hit regularly by the resistance, konoko oil fields, ramar oil

fields, shaddadi, these are all being hit in syria a regular basis, 30 times already since october 7th. this is already a regional war, it's always been a regional war, and and the israelis and americans are are taking such beating in iraq and syria and from yemen and and lebanon, that they they don't even mention them, which i find very bizarre because you would think they would call out yemen, they they'... just stay silent and keep the focus on hamas, because of course everybody's looking at what they're doing to gaza, and the israelis are so embarrassed by what is happening to them on these other fronts, they won't even bring them up or mention them. all right, bill doris joins us now, uh, anti-w activist organizer from new york. bill dorus, i i need to address this question to you, which i asked - my my guest previously, that is uh, the and that's because of your um, as an activist, i think that this applies to you to get your idea on, and that's the... sanction uh that iran's leader has asked the muslim governments to do when it comes to the export of oil um and

also other essentials to the design is regime as he has called it now this reminds me of the bds movements uh where it was activist related or activism related do you foresee this being something that's going to be set in motion do you foresee or do you give it any hope of actually becoming reality and what can be done in order for this to spread especially a larger scale when it comes to government uh and uh perhaps applying that as a law? well, it is something, first, thank you for having me, compliments to press its excellent coverage of of of the horror that's happening right now, which is the responsibility of the united states that of the regime in tel aviv, regime in tel aviv, and what you say is something the people of the world have to fight for, i mean the united the war the genocide against the palestinian people, a country, the size of of

the racist state of israel would not be able to perpetuate this without the endless supply of of dollars and arms uh from the united states, israel does not make planes, most of the bombs, missiles, they're all being here and supplied for free to the zionist regime, the genocidal regime, it's necessary for those countries who do uh say they stand in solidarity with palestine to put their money where their mouth is, it's not even so much the oil as the money, the tremendous amount of of of investment and economic relations that exist, that the uh israeli regime has with uh many countries, including the arab and muslim world, chevron which uh steals the natural gas from off the coast of occupied palestine. also operates in saudi arabia, city bank, which uh finances uh israel's

purchases, because israel spends its arms money, he gets from the united states so fast, that uh, it has to city bank finances a difference between what they've spent already before the congress can allocate some more, and they also operate in in uh many countries, there was a time when in the time of nasir, there was a time when uh the boycott not only on uh israeli products, but on corporations that did business with israel, country should not, i remember after the iranian revolution in in 19. 79, one of the first actions of the new of the islamic republic was to cancel arm sales, because the shaw would buy so many arms from the united states, why should countries be buying arms, planes and so on from the very corporations that supply planes to the israely war machine? all right, around the world, thank and we especially need to do it here, because

here is the will source of the problem, the um humanitarian aspect of this, when you think you can't get any... worse it does uh richard medhurs and and and i'm curious as to uh the way that israel uh is being blamed for this, but we know that the us is complicit also not only in terms of the arms uh, i guess assistance, but also in terms of the planning, um, but a humanitarian level, i'm just trying to understand uh the us thinking here, we're looking at the tons of bombs that have been dropped, which is being compared to hiroshima, and in terms of the number of people that are being killed. richard metters, we also have this us politician uh granted he's maybe a bit on the extreme side graham, but he has said in a interview that there is no limits to the number of civilians that is justifiable for israel to kill in in this war, which uh israel claims to be on hamas, is this the type of thinking that is really prevalent when it comes to us politicians, richard metherst? i mean, linsy

graham is neoconservative gool, so you i expect nothing less coming out of his mouth, he is. uh, you know, he's more than happy to see everybody from syria, from palestine, from iran, dying just so he can get his way, and and the the corporations that my fellow guest mentioned can get their way, because he is a pr agent for them, um, i mean, this this thinking is really, really disgusting, and the new york times reported that the israels in meetings with their american counterparts, they told them that you know the west should shut up about what's happening in gaza, because uh, during world war ii, the united states dropped nuclear bombs on on hiroshima, nagasaki in august 1945, and then you now the royal air force uh, bombed dresden uh, which some argue was even worse than than hiroshima, um, you know, i, i, i don't think that these are acceptable uh arguments, because since then uh, it has been made very clear that these things were wrong, uh, you know, there was no need to bomb hirushima, nagasaki, that was just a show of force for

the soviets, and and this this hell that's unleashed on people in dresden, um, you can't just use those as arguments to butcher people in gaza. people in gaza are not nazis and they're not imperial japan. these are civilians. this is their land. they have not gone out and attacked anyone. they are being attacked, they are being besieged, they are being occupied since 75 years. so you know this argument is ridiculous and i don't understand how the americans uh, you know, it's one thing to listen to the israelis, but it's another thing to say, okay, we'll keep supporting you. um, you know, israel has wanted to drag america, to drag the united states. uh into a regional world for decades they've been trying this stuff and it it looks like they might be getting their way but i think they've bitten off more than they can chew because uh israel does not have what it takes even penetrate gaza never mind take on hizballah and take on iran and the hashd and syria and yemen this is lunacy it's the resistance that has gotten stronger not israel and so they have miscalculated very

very very deeply and greatly no matter how much they bound people in gaza they're not moving anywhere and we should remember that besides the... israel's butchering of gazans, israel and the united states have been planning to build a canal on gaza, the bengorion canal to rival the swez canal. they've been trying this since the 1960s to plan it, and they wanted to put nuclear bombs in the negev desert, this is a classified document from 1963, so we should remember that they have this economic incentive in mind, and they're openly telling cc, the egyptian president, will pay you to take the garzans, we will cancel and wipe your debt clean if you take the gazans. uh gazans are not going anywhere, israel thinks that if they keep bombing it, they can frighten gazans into leaving, that's not happening, and my fellow guest also correctly mentioned the gas that chevron is stealing in the mediterranean, this is so important because in the last three days israel has handed out 12 licenses to companies, how are they extracting gas if they're on thought this is an existential threat for these taking gas

out of the mediterranean, the the gas from palestine, lebanon and syria for a long, long time now. the levithan basin is is is such rich quantity of gas you know that it it's just a dream come true and europe needs that gas because they sanctioned iran and they sanctioned russia and blew up northstream so israel is trying to hurry up and deliver its promises but it's not going to happen well uh do you agree bill doris with a guest there that uh perhaps israel is uh biting more than it could chew when it wants uh this to be a regional a think pulling the us into a war uh most likely to uh have iran uh one of its support the eradication, the attempted, the attempt of the israeli racist regime to eradicate the people of palestine, they basically israel has long been part of a

protection racket that uh, the united states runs in that part of the world, an enforcer uh, whereby countries pay tribute to the united states and they they uh, which iran no longer does since the shah was overthrown, and that's why iran is a us target, and they'... they depend on that flow of wealth, and they war is central to the position of the the obsescent position of wall street in the world economy, and like a gangster, what they have is their rep, they got to show they can kill and destroy, and and people have to be afraid of them because they have nothing else to offer, but of course all this, this endless supply of arms and and money to the to the to israel, which is really just a component of the us war machine. is is is stolen, is stolen from people here, it's stolen, they they'd rather, they'd rather bomb people, bomb people are already homeless in gaza and make them homeless again, then

build build build housing for the for the for the hundreds of thousands of homeless in this city, there's 119,000 children in the us new york city school system uh, but the the uh military, we basically have a military regime in this country and a corporate ruling class behind it, they would do anything rather than spend money on human need any excuse and israel is an excuse they and and they and the us wants to assist uh um israel militarily as you have mentioned to the degree that it is uh but it doesn't want to uh um come and promote a ceasfire. um of course israel also says that a ceasefire would mean that we're uh uh that means it's a defeat for us in in front of hamas now i'm trying to understand the logic over here. where the root of the problem has to be the fact that occupation needs to be targeted, that the party policy of israel is the problem, those are the types

of things that need to be targeted, but yet the us is going the military route, why is it that the focus by the us is not on those things, which is really at the source of the problem, because the the us uh had has nothing uh to offer the world. "all they they depend on is military force is military power to keep their to maintain their position in the world economy, and that that depends on destruction, that depends on destruction, they cannot allow a strong africa, a strong asia, a strong uh arab world, a strong muslim world, and they uh, the entire economy depends right now on on not just on the on the production of bombs and weapons of mass destruction and their use, but on ' on suppressing uh the economic development around the world. all right, thank you for that. bill doris, anti-war activist organizer

from new york, and richard metherst, a pleasure, journalist and commentator from vienna. thank you to you both. with that we come to an end for this edition of the spotl and the entire team. miss goodbye. يقول انا مسلم علينا علينا

الكهرباء انا اقول يعني انه الاحتلال من اطلق الرصاصه على الكهرباء وجعلها في حاله مرضيه كبيره منذ فتره طويله لم يسمح او لم يدخل الى قطاع غزه ولم يسمح الاحتلال بادخال اي بالتالي عدم اتاحه هذه المياه للتدفق داخل حدود قطاع غزه طبعا هذه كلها تعتبر سرقه من قبل الاحتلال لمصادر المياه الفلسطينيه الماء حتكون جدا جدا

يعني تقريبا مشابه لميه البحر ومع ذلك بنستعملها يعني مضطرين للاستعمال اليومي محدش بيستصيغها ماحدش بيستصيها نهائيا.
