9:02 pm
this is for palestine, this is for the child that is searching. why do you think little boys are throwing stones at tanks and we'll never really know how many people are dead? they drop bombs on innocent girls while they sleep in their bed. israel is the terror state the terrorists that terrorize i'll testify my television televise i'm telling lies how many more. resolutions have to be violated, how many more children have to be annihilated, this is not a war, it is systematic genocide, but we try palestine will never die. hello, i'm chris williamson, and this is palestine declassified where we investigate the israeli regime's global war against solid. with the illegally occupied
9:03 pm
people of palestine. as israel's genocidal assault on gaza continued, it emerged that siinist think tank linked to benyamin netanyahu, proposed final settlement for gaza. the misgav institute calls it a unique and rare opportunity to evacuate the whole gaza strip in coordination with the egyptian government. furthermore, we understand that britain is sending intercepted palestinian resistance communications to the israel occupation forces. we can also... reveal that the british government has issued denotice to media outlets to suppress information about sas operations. we'll be discussing the implications of these revelations after this report by latifa abochakra about britain's active participation in genocide. it is clear that israel's genocidal war on razza aims to drive the palestinians out to the senai desert of egypt. a recent leaked document from the israeli ministry of intelligence laid. out the plan for this operation and
9:04 pm
ways in which it can be sold to palestinians and the international community. it is attempt by the netanyahu government to push further into the plans for greater israel. make no mistake, this plan will fail. already, the rivati unit of the israeli occupation forces has been completely eliminated on the ground in gazza. a military that is so used to striking from above and bullying at checkpoints will struggle with. the harsh realities of urban warfare, ghaza will be your quagmire, welcome to the graveyard of invaders, there have been reports of us delta force involvement in the attempted invasion of ghaza. the delta force was instrumental in the assassination of qasim sulaimani. however, the axis of resistance is responding. britain has been a keen ally in israel's campaign with the sending of spy plane to hover over occupied palestine and assist. in the bombing. british
9:05 pm
prime minister rishi sonak's family has significant business ties to the zionist entity. their company, infosys is co-directed by yurie levine, formerly of israeli military intelligence unit 8200. infosys and its subsidiaries in the entity all employ former israeli military personnel. infosys was seed investor in cloud injure, a tech company founded by offegadish. leoned fernberg and offerenrish, all of whom are veterans of the israeli military intelligence core. british home secretary soela braverman is also deeply connected to israel. she has previously boasted of having close family members within the israeli occupation forces. she is currently seeking to outlaw the waving of the palestinian flag on british soil and even banned the use of particular pro-palestinian chance. no matter how... the trilateral
9:06 pm
security state of the us, britain and israel, try, they will not succeed in subjugating gazza. as always, we're joined by our residence expert david miller. david is academic and a former professor at bristol university and is now a non-resident senior research fellow at the center for islam and global affairs at istanbul zaim university. he's also a co-director of the lobby and watch dog spinwatch, and he's a leading british scholar and critic of israel. and i'm delighted to welcome craig murray as i guess. today who joins us via skype. craig is the former british ambassador to uzbekistan where he spoke out about shocking human rights abuses much to the shagron of the british establishment. since leaving the diplomatic service, he's gained a reputation as human rights activist and a highly regarded independent journalist. he's written number of books too, including zionism is bs, and dirty diplomacy. he's also a leading supporter of julian lassange and was detained and questioned by the british police last month. after returning from iceland where
9:07 pm
he'd met senior figures in the julian nassange defense campaign. welcome to the show. what do you know about the prime minister's links to uh israel through this. how's this organization? well, it's been in the press, including in the tavoy press that he has these family links to infosis which is of course owned in part by his wife's father who's a big name in in it in the it industry, and has very very close links with with the zionists including as was shown in the film there, with um veterans of unit 8200, which is the sigint, it's called signals intelligence surveillance agency of israeli military. intelligence like gchq in the uk or the national security agency in the u.s. so this is very close connection uh financial links for his family with effectively the sign is entity of course the issue with the with this is that many of the uh the the the
9:08 pm
people who are involved in military intelligence in israel go to to run it companies infosis being one of them but there are many many others uh the question is whether they are they are as business people or as agents of the zionist regime, indeed intelligence agents of the regime, and it seems of course from what everything we've note shown in this show, that it's the latter, that the there's a clear intelligence uh agency link to many these these organizations, so that's a really fundamental issue for the prime minister having a that kind of conflict of interest with a hostile foreign state, the state of israel as it's called, yes indeed, well craig, mean how do you read the british role in assisting israel so far? well, i think uh, britten's primary role as usual is is being a kind of useful henchman and and accompliced to the united states in in reinforcing a cigarette paper of
9:09 pm
difference between what the uk has said, the us has said in the diplomatic world, difference between what the uk has said and what the us has said the diplomatic world, but uk also has has offered uh military support, as we heard in the uh report, the reasons to suspect that the sas is involved in the gaza strip, and and britain is also assisting with um with communications intelligence intercepts. yes, indeed. well, david, i mean, what's a british home secretary soweller braverman's connection with israel, tell us about that? so, braveman, who's um, arguably one of the most racist home secretaries we've had for for some considerable years, is married into uh the zijn entity effectively, she's married to this uh jewish guy, zionist guy, called bravoman who uh has relatives to currently, according to the jewish chronicle serving in
9:10 pm
the israel defense forces, so there's a a clear issue, she comes of course from an indian background, coming in to to the uk from from uganda, as part of the ugandaan asian, yeah uh um experience and so she she has this very close relationship, if you look at look online for conservative friends of israel's videos you see back in 2016 before she got married before she married this guy bravo and that uh she she went on conservative friends of israel trip to the occupied entity and uh there she she seems very very naive actually she sort of talks about the they need to understand this complex conflict in a way which she would not talk about it. now she's much more hard line, much more ideological about about israel and you can see that you her marriage and also her experience to politics has taken her to very hard lines position much like of course uh prty putel before who had had to of course if you remember resign because she she took a holiday in in israel which of course was
9:11 pm
secret meetings with sionist officials and indeed um the military no indeed well craig mean what's your estimation of the us role in all of this? well the united states is is key because of course um israel is a implanted colonial settlement uh which effectively is an outreach project of the united states part of its power projection into into a hydrocarbon rich area, the united states subsidises israel to tune of four four billion dollar a year and of course uh provides the great bulk of its military hardware and and is as we speak. united states is shipping bombs to uh israel in order to kill children in gaza, and of course the united states with the united kingdom give that diplomatic top cover, you they can be relied to veto resolutions at the united
9:12 pm
nations calling for cere, and essentially to do everything possible to prevents and confound international opinion from uh playing any part. in helping the palestinian people? no, indeed. well, what kind of resistance? david, has this this, this campaign against god, mean what kind of resistance is it? is it based? well, people will see a little bit of what kind of resistance there is in gaza on the mainstream media, very small, but if you look at social media and you look at telegram channels, you can see that there's been fierce resistance in gaza, the the attack on gazas of course been an attack mainly on civilian infrastructure on civilians, even the mainstream media say that hamas and the other palestinian resistance factions haven't been markedly degraded by this campaign, but instead what's happened is you can see if you go on telegram you can see all sorts of footage of attacks on uh defense forces uh um
9:13 pm
people and indeed on their their vehicles in the last uh 36 hours or so since we since we've start 48 hours since we've uh before we filmed the show the they've it looks like they've destroyed something like 30 or or possibly more uh armored vehicles of the offense forces including the these marcara tanks these are supposed to be supposed to super tanks. which of course what's happening is that the the the casan brigades, which is the military wing of hamas have been popping up out of fox holes, placing grenades on the tank to disable its protection systems, running back and then firing second shot, and these tanks are being destroyed at rate of nots, including you know every day there are significant numbers of them, and we see of course massive casualties that are being taken by uh by the israel offense forces, which of course are not being announced in the press, they're announcing senior officers, but they're not announcing any of the... soldiers who have clearly being killed, yes, no indeed, well, craig, i mean, what's your take on on the way in which the
9:14 pm
the states in the region are responding to us support for israel's latest onslot against gaza? we've seen more rhetoric than we we normally do and stronger rhetoric than we normally do from uh surrounding states, in, which is a reflection of the fact that this is a much larger scale uh, attack on uh gaza, this is, this is it, this is genocide, this is ethnic cleansing, um, but of course it's still extraordinarily disappointing that there's no real action, even a country like turkey which has taken a leading role, i mean the you can't fault the uh the rhetoric from president erdowan, that's been fine, but um, nothing has been done, including you, he hasn't cut off. israel's hydrocarbon supplies which are transported against across turkey
9:15 pm
and and yet again we see that uh the palestinians are let down terribly terribly badly uh by their fellow countries only yemen rebels of yemen who themselves are of course uh under terrible attack by saudi arabia, only the rebels of yemen have... have really tried uh to uh to assist from outside the palestinian uh diaspora um and it and and they are being their efforts militarily to help actually being actively stimied by the saudis on behalf of israel um so it it's very very uh depressing the lack of solidarity. uh among arab states and the lack of any any real action of the little huffing and puffing
9:16 pm
and even diplomatically the south americans have been much more active in withdrawing their diplomats and closing embassies and expelling israeli diplomats than arab states have you and i think that's very very telling no indeed of course i think south africa have also announced that they're going to be withdrawing their diplomats as well i understand craig but um anyway. we'll just hold the discussion there for moment as we've got another report now about the impact on israel's economy of its war on gaza. israel has been pummeling gaza with air strikes day and night, it's bombed hospitals, schools, mosks, churches, un facilities, water tanks, fish tanks and even solar panels. israel is doing everything it can to make gaza uninhabitable, in drawing up 350,000
9:17 pm
reservists for the occupation forces, israel has taken those people out of the traditional labor market. have they been replaced? at least 126,00 settlers from areas next to gaza and the south of lebanon have tried to evacuate to other places and are being put up in hotels and community centers. it's also estimated that 250,000 israeli settlers took flights out of the set colony to other places they hold citizenship. business in the settler colony is massively impacted with 61,000 settlers currently on unpaid leave from work. there's also been... a 70% drop in tourism revenue with most flights to the ziners entity being cancelled. the tamara natural gas field run by chevron has also been shut down and put out of operation due to fair of rockets from the resistance factions. it is estimated that shutting down this field will cause the israeli economy $200 million dollars for every month it is
9:18 pm
closed. in a desperate bid to avoid the risk of 60,000 palestinian construction workers. that the israeli building industry is reliant on, israel is now planning to transport in that number of workers from southeast asia to replace them. the effect on businesses has been so dramatic that israel's finance ministry has presented a plan to grant 1 billion dollars in grants for israeli businesses smashed by the war. israel's infamous tech industry was already staggering before the war, while it usually accounts for 48% of israel exports and brought in a record 21 billion dollars in 2021, it was halved in 2022. it fell a further 68% in the first half of 2023, and this war will further damage that key aspect of israel's foreign policy. all of these factors have contributed to a 14-year low for the shecho currency of the zinis entity, as israel's military elite
9:19 pm
initiates a war of attrition to drive the palestinians out of gaza, the long it goes on, the worse the economic consequences will be for the zianist entity. david, we've looked at the israel's tech industry before on this show, haven't we? i mean, what do you make the news that it's actually faltering now? well, foltering is perhaps not even a strong enough word for it, i mean that the figures there, is less than a quarter of the size it was, two years ago, i mean just a truly extraordinary thing, i mean obviously we we've been covering this. classified for the last two years and obviously um it's not just to do with the fact that we've been covering it's faltering, it's also to do of course with the way in which the the war has has has had the effect of on it, yeah, but but let's remember of course that the part the part of the purpose of the uh high tech industry in israel is to is to project power through its intelligence agencies, many of
9:20 pm
the people at the top of these of all these companies used to be in unit 820. and course and the suspicion is of course that sometimes military intelligence as well of they are using this as mechanism for spying on on the rest of the world through the the business activities of the these organizations and of course specifically through the surveillance technologies which the these high tech companies are there to to to use surveillance and journalists surveillance of people are involved in descent and it's the been used of course as we know sold all around world to repressive regimes in order that they can they can spy anyone they want to, we've heard this program before, haven't even that the prime minister, sorry, the president of the us has been spied by israeli technology companies, yes, so what we see here is is an extraordinary collapse, and it's very heartening really for those of us who want to see the zionist industry
9:21 pm
dismantled and replacement with a state a single state, palestine, no indeed. well, craig, i mean, would you say, the longer this goes on, the more it actually harms israels economy? that's um undoubtedly true. i mean, but the short term effects in terms of gdp will probably be less than you might expect, because gdp is not a very useful measure, and destructive activity and military activity goes into gdp, just as much as as peaceful and constructive activity. which provides more benefits in the long term, yeah um, israel economy was, well both israel's economy and israel's political system was of course in deep trouble before the 7th of october already, um, the longer this goes on, certainly the more harmful the effects will be, you can't take the 100 thousand people out of their regular jobs in economy and and
9:22 pm
expect economy to carry on, and and of course we, but and the most important factor is going to be what happens in the long term, what happens after this, and the extent to which international revulsion uh at what israel is doing, and all the signs are this is going to get worse and worse for massaka is going to continue, the expulsion, the ethnic cleansing is going to continue, and it seems to me that that is liable, eventually to reach a stage where the international political is aren't going to be able to resist popular demands for more for more sanctions on on israel and certainly i don't think things like the tourist economy are going to to lightly recover from from all this death and disruption. so um, i think long-term there will be - a strong economic effect, um, but what, what unfolds in the next month or two will will very much
9:23 pm
determine just how how great that effect will be? no, indeed, indeed, indeed, well, david, i mean, what did you make of that recently leaked recording of the former cia head davides, discussing with israeli military figures, the plan for the reoccupation of gaza, the possible. installments of a sort of collaborationist regime there, well, i mean it's interesting because it it shows the the deep uh interpenetration between the zionist hierarchy and the american national security apparatus and of course he talks in in there very explicitly um about degrading and destroying, i mean he uses the word destroying hamas, he also mentions of course palestinian jihad doesn't mention the other resistance factions, but and of course the idea is somehow that you destroy hamas and that the remaining palestinians will then be occupied by israel for some time and then
9:24 pm
they will give over to some kind of collaborationist regime and you know that's a possible scenario but of course we know from everything else we've been seeing that that's not what designers are planning they're planning to force people out into the si desert the plan to offer them tents to live in uh and and a barrier so that they can never come back. they're planning to reoccupy gaza, and although this shows the the interpenetration, the zionits are not thinking that they're going to put in a palestinian authority in ga, they're thinking they're going to just you kill enough people that they can force the rest out, but of course what they're what they're not doing is destroying hamas, they don't seem to have been any appreciable difference to the fighting capacity of all the palestinian resistance factions, you are fighting back extremely hard, and and that that doesn't seem like it's going to be... an easy victory for them to have, in fact it looks like it's going to be extremely difficult for them to do that, no indeed, well craig, what do you think israel's chances are of actually reoccupying gaza then? i'm um slightly less
9:25 pm
optimistic than than david on the on the military dunt. um, i we we have seen um reverse particularly of course uh with hisballah and and lebanon, um.... where the israeli army wasn't able to use its armor effectively and suffered a stunning uh reverse and obviously a tank is of limited uh utility in urban street fighting among huge amounts of rubble which limit limit its maneuverability and tankers have no use whatsoever in a tunnel so um but the sheer numbers of military being deployed by uh by israel and the uh the lack of availability of substantial numbers of sophisticated anti-tank weaponry to uh to the palestinians
9:26 pm
and the lack of things like like night vision uh equipment which gives huge uh advantage to infantry who have them and there's a reason why nearly all the israeli military activities happening at night uh makes me very very worried i am extremely but but without intervention the israelis uh will manage to uh to achieve quite a lot of of what they're attempting to do in terms of genocide and ethnic cleansing and uh today we've i've actually seen today the first images i've seen the first video images i've seen of israeli armor and israeli tanks actually rounding up hundreds of palestinian civilians and marching them out of of north gaza and that could be the... start of you, of a mass ethnic cleansing and and and and expulsion, and i'm deeply concerned, but that
9:27 pm
we are witnessing, and and that that we know from from other things we've seen goes along with, so many executions of of adult males as as part of that process, yeah, i think we're witnessing something extremely dark, and i i can't, i can't believe the world is not doing more to stop it, i just can't, no, indeed, well, craig, if it was down to ordinary people, the world would be doing lot more, and indeed some some nations are taking steps and remains to be seen um, you now how the israeli occupation forces do actually fair against the very well-organized resistance in gaza, but unfortunately the clock's beaten us again, so we're going to have to leave it there, i'd like to thank our guest of course, craig murry and our resident exp. professor david miller. palattine declassified will be back next week with more forensic investigations and analysis, and in the meantime, you can follow the show on facebook, twitter and telegram where we post
9:28 pm

9:29 pm
9:30 pm
first to be headlines the israel military has killed more than 11 palestinians, most of them women and children in gaza over the past 36 days with no let up and ongoing unsolt the one president says the us is behind the israeli genocide against palestinians in gaza, calling for the designation of the israeli military as a terrorist entity, and the secretary general of lebanons bulla muben says the israeli on slat in gaza to undermine resistance was a miscalculation.
