2:02 am
hello and welcome to press tv's spotlight, i'm marsia hashi, thanks so much for being with us. 2,500 people a week have been murdered in the gas strip by the israeli regime during the last 31 days, more than 10,000 people have been killed, 70% of them women and children. 25,000 palestinians have been wounded this one month, but none of
2:03 am
this, none of it seems to matter to regimes around the world, as the green light for the holocaust continues to be given to the racist israeli regime. however, globally, people are flexing their muscles against their western regimes and beyond, the true face of the israeli regime is being revealed as the entities leaders call for nuking gaza and say that palestinians are not human, even justifying genocide. a new world order is on the horizon and the... is swinking. i'd like to welcome my guests to this program. elijah, journalists and political analysts out of brussels and eves ingler, author and political activist out of montreal. so thank you both for being with me. well, let's start it off in brussels and elijah. the secretary general of the united. nations antonio
2:04 am
guiterres has demanded immediate ceasefire in gaza. why do you think that it is taken him 31 days to demand the ceasefire. thank you for having me. thank you for coming. it is not a question of taking him 31 days before tackling the problem that is happening and the war that is happening against the civilians in gaza, it it is because. he doesn't have any power. i remember when he has confronted the israeli ambassador telling him that the problem didn't start on the 7th of october, but it started 50 years ago, and this is when israel demanded his immediate resignation, is because the united nation is institution powerless, unless it fits with the objectives of the united states of america, when the... americans and the
2:05 am
israelis agree that this war should continue because israel has failed to achieve any of its objectives, then the americans acknowledge the fact that killing civilian is the topic of the israeli army and that the united nation is impotent and has no power whatsoever to stop the war, particularly when we have 88 personnel of the united nations that have... being killed by the israeli indiscriminate bombardment to gaza where the israelis bombarded school that belong to the united nations, convoys and is indiscriminately bombing the city pushing for ethnic cleansing and committing crime against humanity. the united nations, unfortunately, it is not a body that can dictate the rules, it is not a body that has an army persay,
2:06 am
unless by its members and has very little to do because it is the will of the superpower, the united nations of america, the united states of america, for this war to continue and reject any call for seasfire even by russia, china and 120 countries that at the united nation general meeting agreed. on the seasfire in gaza, but well is do you think this requests for seasfire by the un secretary general, does it mean anything? will it be adheered to by the israeli regime in your perspective? uh, i don't think it will be adhered to, but i do think it it it's better than not doing it, so i think that and as you pointed out, it's outraged'. just that
2:07 am
it's taking this long for uh for um gutierez to uh come out with this um and it's definitely in my opinion reflects the fact that the us and the... principal nato countries are so gungho in backing israel um now israel clearly doesn't uh israel is is is is is you know slaughtering people with with uh reckless abandon uh the only thing realistically right now that's going to reign in the the fanatics in in in in israel are is the us empire and washington finally saying you know stop stop the... stop the wholesale slaughter. now it does seem that the us is uh uh happy to you, they want this escalate, they seem like they're happy to certainly the killing in gaza they're they're more than fine with um uh and and possibly they're they're happy even engage in something more
2:08 am
broadly in the region um uh so so we where this all goes we we still don't know but but i think it's definitely good that the secretary general has firmed up his length. it's outrageous, it's taking this long, and it definitely does speak to a un that is is not reflective of of international opinion, because people around the world, mass, mass numbers, coming out onto the streets. what about that, elijah? you heard what eve said that basically he feels that the united states is quite okay with what is taking place in gaza. um, if you agree with that, what is it that the united states is gaining from this? genocide that's taking place in gaza that they are giving the green light to the israeli regime? well the israelis are aiming to achieve some gains or some kind of victory that are failing to do so so far
2:09 am
after four weeks of the war, so the americans are giving time for the israeli, they gaining time so the israeli can achieve something, or at least succeed in occupying the northern part of gaza where the main theater of operation is happening now, unfortunately for the israelis that the palestinian resistance is not ready to let go, is not ready to allow the israeli tanks to move into gaza and occupy it, and it's fighting it, it is fighting it in urban war, that they are they have excel in doing it, so is inflecting heavy damages on the israeli tanks and military personnel and is driving the israeli crazy to the point that they're trying to flatten everything in the north of gaza, shujaya, baittan, and they not managing to
2:10 am
advance, on the contrary, the yesterday they withdrew one kilometer of the five six kilometers that where they have advanced, and we talking about it tiny... area that is between five to six miles with wide and then around 26 miles long, and the operation is happening in the first part of it, not all of it, so if the israeli just want to park their 1,400 tanks in gaza, they can fill it up, however we understand that the resistance is not allowing the the israelis to move in, and this is what the americans cannot wait for very long to give the israeli enough time, because the public opinion is turning against the massacre of the israelis, there are images of children, more than 4,000 children
2:11 am
have been killed, 2,200 women, and all that on tv that the americans can no longer hide it, cannot hide behind israel has a right to defend itself, because israel is in occupation, therefore there is limit where they can abuse of their double standard and hypocrisy, and this limit we understand, normally in all the israelis war, when the united nation chief starts to talk about seasfire, it means there is very short time when the americans are going to come up also with the demand, but not due to you. humanitarian reasons, but to save the israelis from their trap, because it is they not achieving what they want to achieve. well, is since sunday night, last night, the israeli regime admits that it has conducted 450 air strikes on gaza, this is just last
2:12 am
night, what is this mean for a civilian area, and what does this mean to be taking place? live on our screens? well, it means that the government's backing this in canada, the us are sociopaths. uh um that's what we that's what we're seeing, we're seeing the political elite in canada, the us that are endorsing this just outrageous level of violence, and in fact not even just endorsing it, they if you were to pick up the the papers in this country, you think that the israelis are the victims, um, now the you know, i think israeli society. uh, the culture has gotten extremely, extremely uh, fascistic,
2:13 am
obviously, the jewish supremacist fanatics who are in charge of the government, have been made very clear that they want to drive out palestinians, they want to steal as much land as possible, uh, they probably won't stop with just the west bank and gaza, they they probably want to go even further, that's always been an important strain of... going back a century, the maximal zionists think it should be, the jewish state should be, multiple times bigger than it currently is, so all of that is is in the background, and and um, they have this powerful military with the backing of the world's hedjamon, and and they're just just using you, the arms companies always like the fact that the bombs are being used, and and israel's doing a lot of that, um, it's it's absolutely stunning. to to sort of live through this uh this this this political culture in canada where all of
2:14 am
the main politicians they all are backing this while the images of palestinian babies being taken out from under the rubble um anyone can see those uh in in in in near you virtual time it's it really is a um serious condemnation the political culture in canada, the us, yeah, it it's amazing, i mean, elijah, your your thoughts on this, that could you have ever imagined, that in 2023, 10,000 people could be slaughtered in the way that the palestinians have been in gaza, and nothing is done, there are 1010. palestinian that have been killed since 1948 and nothing
2:15 am
has been done. there is another agreement that the americans fold that they pulled out and they have reached a two state solution and nothing has been done. on the contrary, benyamin netanyahu went to the united nations with map showing only israel without gaza and the west bank. right. "the objective of the israelis is to wipe out all the palestinians from palestine, this is why nothing has been done, because they want to do it quietly, because they don't want the world to feed, but this time around it definitely hasn't been done quietly, that's my point, i mean, you know, we're looking at this uh, live, real time, um, that that's what makes it so absolutely amazing that." we're watching it in real time, as these massacres, as this genocide is taking place. yes, they've done
2:16 am
it quietly until hamas came out and said enough is enough, we not going to accept to be assassinated, killed and displaced without saying anything, we're not going to accept to be humiliated, and you take away the last hope that we have. had to build the state in palestine, so the united nations resolutions of right of return were not acknowledged and respected, the two state solution has been completely dismissed, and you have a far right government that is starving the prisoners and putting them in jail administratively without any justice, for that they pushed the palestinian to limit where they thought, well... we can do anything we want because we're not accountable and the americans are with us.
2:17 am
this is why the 7th of october came out as a reaction to all the injustice that the palestinians have suffer. rightly, as guteres said, he was very modest by saying 50 years, but it's 75 years since the naka, since the 1948, so because of that the israelis still thinking they can get away with killing and wonding 30. in just four four weeks and bomb gaza with an equivalent of almost two nuclear bomb because each one 15000 they have used 2500 tons of explodes so far and still get away with it. yes, well is, i mean as we see people around the world standing up to their governments. do you think that there has been an increased in awareness, awareness about the reality of the israeli regime now, and and and where do you think this will go? what does it mean now on the ground in your
2:18 am
perspective? there's no doubt there has been a growth of awareness of just how v uh israel and zionism is, there's no doubt about that. um, the protests here in montreal, biggest pro-palestinian demonstration in canadian history, 50 thousand, over 50,000 on on saturday, and it was similar dynamics in most cities across the country, more than 30 cities where they had protest, including way up far north, where there's lots of snow is image of a couple dozen people protesting in yellow knife, um, so there's no doubt that there's a growth in in you know people being appalled at what what israel is doing, um, where this goes, that's a little bit less clear, i think that there the the pro israel crowd has moved further and further to the right, they are becoming pretty openly racist to this point, they're calling for people to be deported uh from canada for going to protest, they are saying that the reason
2:19 am
there's these big protests is because there's basically too many non-white immigrants in the country um... is moving them further and further to the right of the of the political spectrum, whereas historically, in fact lots of the left was was very procist, so that process has has escalated rapidly in the recent weeks a process has been going on for for years or decades even, um, now but at the same time let's be clear that the you know the israel lobby in this country is very powerful uh continues to be very powerful um and and and obviously the us the us empire shapes uh uh canadian foreign policy and and it and it and you know within democratic party you're seeing similar dynamics in the us where younger uh generally darker darker skinned people are critical of of us support um uh but how how far that goes in terms of
2:20 am
really building a long-term uh political movement that fundamentally reshape uh us canadian support for zionism uh that's that's i think a little bit less less clear well elijah what do you think do you think that uh there we will look in history and see uh there was a prior to october 7th how the world people looked at zionism and the zionist entity and how they reacted towards it and then put october 7th or now we're one month later, do you see this as being a major point of transition? i do. october the 7 has created something completely different. it has created a state of uncertainty among the occupied settlers. this is why israel is in
2:21 am
deep crisis today, and this is why the israelis are bombing gaza, because want to achieve something, they have promised all the jews all over the world to come to israel, where they can offer them a land that is not there, taken from the palestinian, give them security, give them home, any home that they want that can take it from the palestinian, and in on the 7th of october, the palestinian resistance offered a place for the settlers in the 10. where there are 15000 tents today in iraq for all the settlers that used to live in occupied territory around the gaza envelope and on the lebanese borders, this is something that israel has never seen before, because of that it blows up completely the
2:22 am
idea of asking all the jew around the world to come to israel where they have security. the israelis today in the society no longer trust the army, no longer trust the government, that is earthquake that the palestinian resistance, no matter how damage is gaza, no matter how many people were killed, at least the palestinian cause return to the surface, and the israelis today are no longer safe in a territory that doesn't belong to them because people of the land, the owners of the land are saying, we want it back, we want to live in dignity, otherwise you will not be safe here, all right, now that. note, we're out of time, i appreciate both of you, being with me, elijah magner, journalist and political analyst out of brussels, eve zingler, author and political activist out of montreal, and thank you

يرحل عنا لانه هو السبب. hizbullah secretary general sayid hasan nasrullah delivered his first speech since the start of the gaza israeli entity war last week in which he blamed the us government for the conflict in the occupied palestinian territories. washington is entirely responsible for the war in gaza while zionist israel is merely a tool. said nasrullah stressed on november 3rd. as he affirmed that the us is preventing a ceasefire in gaza. hezbullah is not intimidated, declared say nasrullah by the deployment of nearly dozen us warships to the eastern mediterranean,
