another us bas in alkhazra in syria with multiple drones. hello and welcome to the spotlight. i'm your host behrus najafi, the western backed israeli genocide of palestinians in gaza still raging and claiming the lives of more and more innocent women and children, some 30,000 tons of explosives have been used against the beliger people in gaza in the past month, that's almost equal to two bombs, now yet the israeli heritage minister saying the other day that he was dissatisfied with the war and... advised the military to nuke

gaza, he also wants the palestinians to either die or to go to ireland or to deserts and his words, and this has been regarded by many as a threat to regional and global peace and security and also confirming the fact that tel aviv is in possession of nuclear weapons. so this is the uh topic of our discussion in tonight's edition of the spotlight. let me introduce our guests. sarah wilkinson, human rights activist joining us from midlands uk, also with us is marvo osman, journalist and politic analyt in beirout. good to see you both, so beginning with the sarah, israel is believed to own the only nuclear arsenal in the middle east region, it said that tel aviv has some 400.

nukes, nuclear warheads, we also had the former us president jimmy carter saying, speaking of 150 nukes at least, and just recently we had the comments of the israeli minister of heritage asking the military to make to actually nuke gaza, are these all not testament to israel being in position of nuclear weapons? well, absolutely, i think we always knew all along that the israelits had nuclear warheats. i think what's ironic about of this particular statement, what's his name is amikai eli yahoo! is the um heritage minister, so when you think about heritage, that's about preservation and conservation, and it kind of i think um shows what a sort of twisted mindset that the israeli government has that the heritage minister would talk about dropping an atomic bomb on the people of gaza and taking into...

consideration that they are 80 more times more powerful than um the hiroshima bomb and so such an explosion would um maybe not destroy all life as we know it, but it would certainly change all life as we know it, and it would take out other countries like cyprus, lebanon, syria, egypt, greece, and possibly even georgia, which i believe is occupied by russia, so um, the sort of loose talk and the insight. talk about dropping an atomic bomb, it should really uh alarm the united nations, and and yet we haven't really heard a whisper from them, that the whole point of the united nations is to prevent civilians being harmed or you know caught up in war and and devastation, and yet even on on hearing that an israeli minister thinks that it is a good option, or a possibility to drop an nuclear warhead on civilians has not

stirred the international community into action. this if i ran the united nations, of this would be the point that i stepped in. of right. now, marwa, what's the function of the un nuclear watch, the ia? i mean, why shouldn't israel come clean about its nuclears? why shouldn't sign the nuclear non-provision treaty? the regime that's sticking the lifes of children and women targeting all over the place and buse everything. every living thing, every building, no matter if it's hospital or school, whatever, their targets of israel, and such a regime is in position of nuclear weapons, no inspection, no ia reports, nothing, well they are the safegard protected category, my friend, obviously the iaa is only founded to press and pressure states like the islamic republic of iran or china or the democratic people's republic of. korea

and what not basically the states that say absolutely no to colonialism and occupation and uh capitalism or basically western capitalism for that matter, but the question is not. about the iaea, what they can or cannot do, they cannot do anything, neither that that can the un by the way, because the level of uh tnt and and bombs that have fell so far on the heads of the people of gaza uh has surpassed to bombs as we speak, and they already performed committed against the people of gaza, but the the question is what kind of new weaponry that they might use that could resemble a nuclear. because they have tested them before and they have tried them before, not only in yemen, but elsewhere, but usually they say that when you see such an enormous explosion like the one in yemen, for example in san, in 2015, in march of 2015,

when they dropped uh neutron bombs, tactical nuclear weapons that they tried basically they tested on the yemens in 2015 on the mountain of fajaatan in san'a. uh, it was horrific, horrific scene, before, during and after, the aftermath was absolutely terrifying, but it was according to uh veterans today, huge report was uh published by veterans today using one of the former inspectors at the iaea, and the author was gordon duff if i'm not mistaken, and they specifically say that they have sent the video and evidence of that attack on sana to many experts, physicists and nuclear bomb experts and they all unanimously agreed that this was a tactical neutron bomb, but they couldn't publish the paper because that means career suicide uh for them, but it has been used before and on arabs in yemen, and this

is what i'm afraid of, because sarah said that aabomb would annihilate half of the population in west asia, but they're not going to be using that there, if they want to use it, they might be, they might be going to use it. certain a new type of uh nuclear bombs like the neutron tactical weapon that would wipe out certain controlled areas and that's a plan that has been put in place since decades ago because gaza actually is in the way of very important project for the zionist entity which is the bengorion canal which they are preparing to uh do and to construct to compete with the uh the canal. of of egypt the uh um uh forgot the name of the canal in egypt because i'm i'm focusing what's happening excuse me it doesn't matter name doesn't matter go ahead with the comment no it matters lot because because the way that they are going to be taking the route

from the red sea into the mediterranean through the bengorian canal instead of the sues canal the sues canal in egypt it it means that they have to they have. have to take out gaza and if you look at the map of that that specific project uh which basically uh surpasses the suwest canal by 50 meters deep and by many meters wider which allows two ships for forward and backward to go together without waiting for the ships going forward and then going backward like it is in swiss and it is a six hour delay for shipment so that that that's part of their plan and during that plan or in the construction of that plan it says that in order for that to be able to open this canal, they need to nuke that specific area with tactical nukes and gaza is in the way, this is what scares me the most. okay, now sarah, when you have a child killer regime like the one in tel aviv, it has also in as possession, nuclear

warheads, nuclear weapons and also the audacity to use them, so what kind of prospect do you see for peace and security uh in this region? "i'm not really seeing very much prospect at all, i i don't want to be doom and gloom. i think the israelis have a game plan and i think they want to complete their game plan, and that is the annihelation of every man, woman and child in palestine. um, i, i think that with that in mind, that we are going to have difficulty ever, you know, coming, getting a ceasefire on the table, the israelis do not want to ceasefire on the table, it's not in british interests to have a ceasefire, because um rishi, our prime minister rishi sunak's wife's investments uh all lead to the um the gaza marine for the oil and gas reserves and she has investments in bp, the only way that that can be secured as if is there no palestinians

in gaza and israelis are allowed to occupy it again, this you know i think that the united nations should disqualify the veto on the grounds that the western countries involved. um stopping a ceasefire from taking place, actually have vested interest in making sure that a ceasefire doesn't occur in making sure that there are no palestinians left in gaza, so i "unfortunately there is nothing heading towards a ceasfire because we don't have the support from our leaders, we don't have um the the desire for peace coming from either the israelis or any other western culture, and um how we're going to achieve that, i just don't know. all right, marwa, israel has already used some 30,00 tons of bombs and ghaza the explosive force of which is believed to be twice as strong as nuclear bomb that a us drop on hereshima japan in 194." five so gaza is already being nuked like you also mentioned, so what else is it that they want, how far do they want to go?

they want to completely annihilate the people or see the people move out of the land, and other way other than sai is their plan, but they don't understand that the people of gaza themselves, they don't want to leave their land, the only people that want to leave at the moment are the people who are in need of medical aid and medical assistance, mean gaza doctors are performing surgeries uh without an anesthesia, they're performing the surgeries without electricity, it is the patients are getting infection after the amputations that they are getting, it's disastrous, it's inhumane, these are the people that need to be evacuated as soon as possible from the gaza strip into valid hospitals in in in egypt, but the the only way for them to be able to stop this, according to the plan of the designs is to completely. evacuate gaza, we're talking about 2.5 million humans here in the biggest concentration camp, open air concentration

camp on earth, that is the plan and that is why the united states of america is not even allowing the israelis, it's not the other way around, the us is not allowing the israelis even start a humanitarian uh aid ceasefire for 48 hours because they know that this will give uh leverage for the palestinian resistance which has not really been affected. by what has been happening, because we all know that the palestinian resistance basically lives underneath uh gaza, and is is there to protect gaza, and had it not been for the palestinian resistance, whether hamas or any other factions, gaza would have been annihilated since day two or three of the war uh on gaza, so now the the issue, the main issue that is also not getting any effective uh negotiations from the palestinian side itself. because they have been told that gaza needs to be evacuated and that's not an option, that will never be an option, because

after gaza most definitely the west bank will start, it has already started, we're seeing at least every day 16 to 20 marters pulling in the west bank due to the israeli aggression, so it has already started and it has been going on for 75 years, but the main issue for israel right now is to regain control, and they cannot regain control in their understanding. the matter without completely evacuating gaza from uh everyone. right, okay, sarah, given the atrocious crimes being committed against the defenseless palestinians in gaza, israel is now viewed as a threat to the entire humanity, so is it okay to normalize relations with such illegitimate regime with those ill intentions? i mean those arab states that did so, what did they gain apart from resentment and hatred from palestinians? no. never been okay to normalize um with the israeli regime, it's never, it's always been

about annihilation, it's always been about domination, it's always been about eradicating and eraising and ethnically cleansing the palestinians, it's never been right to normalized, and those nations that have normalized, some are pulling back, some are getting rid of their, i know south africa has got rid of all its delegates, one could ask why have you got delegates in in - post apartite south african state that's fully aware that the israeli regime has been labeled an apartite by so many. so it's never been all right to normalize and i i think if um sorry i'm having computer problems but i i i think certainly if anybody normalizes from this point onwards you know the the world will never forgive them. this is this is exactly the reason why everybody said you cannot normalize with an israelli apartite regime. "you cannot do that, it's a violation in itself, violation of international law,

it's it's condoning apartite, it's condoning etth cleansing and it always has been, so yes, it's always been about money and oil and you know, lining people's pockets, but this is uh, you know, we're a juncture now where pull out, everybody has to pull out, and and the only way to is to isolate the israeli regime as much as possible, because we've left it too late, the annihilalation." has begun, the exterminations have begun, thousands have lost their lives, there's there's over 2,0 people still under the rubble, we've almost left this to late, we've left it too late to reform the united nations, so so now... now we're coming in on the backfoot trying to save what's left and we're looking a population that is about to go into a secondary genocide of of infection and disease, they drinking sewage water and you know people are texting me and communicating and saying that their wounds are infected and and that there is no infrastructure left, look we've left it too

late, but let's pull out everybody now must pull out and isolate the israeli regime before. before this continues, before this escalates any further. all right, marwa, let's now talk a little bit about one of the accomplices of this runous war, the us that's already under fire for its unflinching support for the televiv regime. american people, of course, they rally, they express their solidarity and their opposition, the solidarity with palestinian, opposition to israeli crimes against palestinians, so what makes washington fund these really war machine, while they have issues at home. that money, that taxpair money could be better be spent on home turf, couldn't it? let us begin by saying that they are not funding it, it is an extension of the empire, israel is there because the empire wants it to be there, because the empire actually inherited it from the british empire, i'm talking about the american empire, israel, biden himself have

said it 30 years ago and he said it again two weeks ago, he said if there were no israel would we were have to found new is. make create israel in the middle east, this is what they are saying, because it is vital extension of their colonial power in the region of west asia, and the evidence of that is that on day one, so i'm having electricity problems, the the evidence of that is that on day one when the uh war started on gaza, we saw that the us not only sent warships, the eisenhower battleship and the uh rogan uh, battleship with all the uh equipment with all the aircraft carriers uh at the moment there are 56 uh aircraft carriers and battleships in the mediterranean the first time since 1945 and they sent all of this along with 14 billion dollars and sending biden himself to give bear hog to netanyahu in the airport when he landed in occupied yafa otherwise

known as tel avib so they are there because this is an extension israel is the 51st state the united states of america, and this is evidence because not only they funded them, not only they ran to help their little evil lad, they even brought in new weaponry, as if israel itself is not the house of weaponry that is actually uh manufacturing weapons and selling them to other states across the world, they brought them uh more than 9 billion dollar worth of weaponry to be used against the people of gaza, and they even brought in boots on the ground. which many uh united states uh former generals and uh experts and military have told us that many of whom have lost their lives attempting to uh to perform a ground invasion against the gaza strip so now americans not only are paying to kill palestinians but their own sons and daughters will be returning back to

america in coffens because they are fighting a war that they should not be fighting the same wars that they fought in iraq. in syria and elsewhere, but this time it will hit hard uh back in the united states of america, because uh, this time the evidence is impeccable, the evidence is so crystal clear to point that lot of people in both administrations, whether it's the netanyahu regime or the biden regime will have to pay, not in front of us, but in front of their own law, their own constitution, despite the fact that designs does not have a constitution, but in front of their own investigative uh teams and uh investigative committees because the horrors that they committed and because the betray to their own people by uh what they did. we are now seeing protests inside the israeli entity itself calling on the netanyahu cabinet to stop the hours to stop because he's what he's doing is not in their

name and this is the first this has never happened before in the side of the scienist entity. yeah true now sarah and of action by the international community, some of them are just paying lip service, some of them are saying given nothing, the voting in abstention a security council, see what's been happening, initiatives are being veruwed by america, so what options do palestinians have other than resistance in order to be able to survive and counter this child killer regime? yeah, um, they as the resistance, the an amazing amazing courage and resistance that we've seen so far, and it will continue. but at very high cost. um, the international community is not going to be relied on, you know, unfortunately we would have done something by now if we were going to do it, we're watching a genocide. unfold before our very eyes and nobody has really lifted finger, so i i think that i'm not saying that the palestinians are on their own, i know that they will get other supportive allies

that hopefully will come in, i know that hezbollah said that if there was any sign that hamas was losing that you know he would he would send in his troops and and you know, but at the moment um yeah, all i can see is lot of devastation, lot of lies. being lost, more and more children being pulled out of the rubble, genocide continuing and the international community doing absolutely nothing but twidling their fingers and it and it's you know they will be remembered as always being on the wrong side of history, but for some reason you know it it we're not uh the casm between the people, i mean we've seen half million people come out in london, possibly more than that, it's an undererestimate, half million people come out in london and take over the railway stations and put an awful lot of pressure on the resources of britain, bring london to a standstill, and it has made no difference to the speech, they're still coming out with the same rhetoric, but israel has a right to defend itself, as if you keep repeating it

long enough, the people again to believe you, but yes, globally people have come out uh, in a show of strength and a show of support for the palestinian people, they're not alone in solidarity, but as far as firepower at the moment, they they are sitting ducks and we have israeli officials talling talking about dropping atomic bombs and we even had netanyahu invoke a biblical story um about the amalites uh who had to be annihilated in order to protect the israelites, it's an old religious story, and he used that in a speech, and if that isn't a metaphor and incidement for uh extermination, which is possibly worse than the israeli minister of heritage, if that isn't incightment, then i don't know what is, and and what it will take? for the west to realize if they don't step in now they're going to go down in history as um allowing one of the worst genocides in and and for me that i have ever

witnessed yep exactly unfortunately all right appreciate your insight and comments the wilkinson human rights activist in midlands ukman journalists and politic analys in beirout lebanon. i thank you for watching this episode of the spotlight on press tv with me your host berrous najafi. i'll see you next time.
