10:03 pm
the israeli war in gaza is in its 36th day, the gaza strip is still experiencing israeli aerial bombardments with the death toll climbing higher. this is why the us and israel have implemented a four-hour military pause, which by many standards is not nearly enough for palestinians to move from one place to another or have their injuries betended to. also on this day, a joint oic and arab league emergency meeting has taken place, which the iranian president also attended. all agreed on the genocide committed by the barbaric regime, but the question remains, will words turn into action when it comes to stopping this war, and to prevent israel from committing more war crimes. first let me introduce our guests for this edition of the program. sakina datu is a journalist, author and producer who joins us from london. also joining us is saib shath,
10:04 pm
he's an author and west asia expert who joins us from belfast. right, let me first start with you. if i may, and um, can't really not mention this, and uh, that is the fact that we're looking at the death toll that at this point has surpassed 11,000. you have 4506 children and 3,027 women every. hour 42 bombs are dropped, 12 building buildings are destroyed, 15 people are killed every hour, six of them are children, and one child dying every 10 minutes. uh, there are mechanisms that were supposed to be in place on the world stage in one form or another to prevent this type of massacker from happening, but they haven't worked, why do you think that is? i think first of all just to mention the number of deaths that you have mentioned, honestly the it is just unprecedented. i
10:05 pm
think it has now become something that most people have even starting to become insensitive to, it sounds like it's just numbers now, everyday numbers are increasing, but these are real people, these are real lifes and families who are you know completely torn apart, why it is not happening, i think it is because the us obviously the western countries the their strategy has not yet come to freision, so they have... a plan for what they want to achieve in gaza and until you know they achieve that they are not going to stop or bring a cease fire so much as the world has been screaming and shouting we now see after so many days that there are now discussions about holding temporary cease fire this is because to a large extent they were waiting of for them to be able to achieve certain military and political goals which i think to some extent they have achieved. and so now we
10:06 pm
are starting to see talks, but i don't even of think that it's going to stop anytime soon of and god knows how many more lives are going to be lost before there is genuine worldwide effort to bring a sease fire. all right, when it comes to talks subshath, so we've had this joint oic arab league summit, and uh, you have 57 arab and islamic nations in attendance, we've. looked at their final communique and uh they said that there needs to be a statement that is binding from the un in order to uh stop this war from continuing um the question is is there going to be uh anything that can translate into action on the ground uh or are we just looking at words again i mean you know uh and uh some are criticizing the fact that this was held uh after all these all this time 34 days. yeah,
10:07 pm
after 36 days, 36 days, i'm sorry, okay, they come and hold this meeting, we are talking about two billion arabs and muslims, they have more than... 55 armies all together, some of them like turkey, egypt and others, many others and saudis and they have huge, large well equipped armed forces and they only thing they they they met and they they just communicates and words after 36 days of genocide launched by the zinest entity and us and nato in support of that uh they did not even manage to collective collectively as a collective action to back up a country like egypt all of the 55 countries to open the the carridor humanitarian carridor from rafah to ghaza from the egyptian border to ghaza 55
10:08 pm
arabic and muslim countries from malaysia to to lebanon they couldn't manage to put the their weight behind and to brush. rise egypt as well and to tell them, we are behind you, just open a humanitarian, the corridor to at least save the people of gaza, because gaza is now at the verge of femen, massive hunger and pandemic because there is no clean waters, there is no hygiene facilities left, you know the switch is not working, there is because there is no energy, the zin entity targeting even the solar system panels. they targeting the water storage and areas, they targeting everything because they are manufacturing femen manufacturing huge hunger and they want to push the people to to flee the country, arab and muslim countries they
10:09 pm
can take decisive action if they want against the zin entity, some of them, some of these countries are they have relationship with the zin entity and they recognize turkey the the design entity from 1949 and let's not forget turkey is the one who lost as an automan empire run by the turkish nationalist at the time lost palestine to the british occupation and not forget egypt is the country who lost gaza strip to the zinis entity in 1967 those at least those two countries why i'm bking at they have moral duty more than any other country to put the offers because this chaos the palestinian and genocide the palestinian facing because of these two countries failures mainly, the arab states and arab countries they the ones who have as i said the the the the this kind of relationship, they can cut the ties like some latin
10:10 pm
americans did, they can boycot this nazi terrorist country, the the arab and muslim countries they can put a pressure now in washington with. capacity, i'm talking about countries who have, go ahead, yeah, well um, the question is, and i'm going to ask a to that, why, why do you think that uh, they can't do it, why are they not doing it? i mean, ivan has said, the trade and oil embargo would uh probably one of the best things that can be done, uh, and also iran has gone ahead and labeled the army, a terrorist entity, um, asking also for palestinians to be armed, but uh, let's begin with that embargo, on oil and why isn't there a will on the behalf of the uh of the countries either muslim countries or even countries in west asia or some call the middle east to go ahead with an embargo on israel? i think in my view this is still a continuation of the divide and rule strategy
10:11 pm
the western countries, so i think at the moment when you see arab countries not really taking any strong stance is because i think they have been. meansed that there is you know there is this shia sunni for example one the factors in the region and that iran is vying for supremacy and it is the fear that for example for saudi arabia that if if israel was not on their side or if america was not supporting them then when it comes to regional powers they would be overcome so this of course is is not nothing new we know that the whole colonialism was based on these principles of divide and rule, and therefore this is something that is still happening. in a way, guess it is a good thing to see that all these countries after so long, these very countries like saudi arabia who are trying to reestablish connections with israel, they are now talking somewhat the same language, but
10:12 pm
there is no action, there is nothing following that, there is no action plan, so it's just words and the reason why they are saying all this is because they have to appeal. is the masses, it's the people in these all these muslim and arab countries, they want to see something done, so they have to appease them, but i don't think there is any political will, and the main reason i think they are lacking. will is there is this division, every country is thinking about its own survival, there is no concept of a regional a muslim ummah or you know nations coming together to protect each other, i personally see this to be the main reason why there is no political will, it's very hard to understand the sapshath and i don't want to beat this to a pulp here, but uh, mean uh, you know, a ceasefire, is that really too hard for these countries to push the us to do? um, even if it's a 24 hours, even if it's two days, even if it's, you know what i mean,
10:13 pm
i mean it's a ceasefire, they're not asking for the war to stop at this point anyways, but if that can't even be done, as you say, if egypt can't even be forced to open up the gates of the rafa border crossing, there's something really wrong with what's going down here, you see the after the what they call it, i call it the arab thing, which is the arab spring, there is huge geopolitically. changes in the arab world and there is lot of regimes which came and popped in the region which is totally controlled by the united states of america among the monarchist and the masichism from arabia, so there is a change in that used to have regimes like in iraq and in in libya and in algeria and in tunisia and in egypt itself and that even with their connection with the united states of america, they have leverage, we remember 1970s. free when the saudis and the arab producing and muslim producing countries
10:14 pm
supported by some international, they put the the the boycot in on the western countries to support this entity and they they created maham and chios for the inter the western countries economies, i know today they cannot do that, but i don't want to get in the details at the time, the west they thought at the beginning that boycot might benefit their companies, but the end of the day their their economy is destroyed i'm talking about today these countries uh they can only start gradually to ditch the dollar as a standard reserve currency that is used today in the pricing of oil and selling on of it which is this in its own this tactic provides the usa with this you know like similar to the gold cover for the dollar and allows the united states of america to brend dollars and to uh juminize the world financial affairs, the us then this dominance will collapse, if the
10:15 pm
arab countries and muslim countries the production of oil start ditching that, you can't find china and russia, as well, venezuela and other countries like brazil, south africa, all of these countries will start joining because they are looking to find a new platform, not the usa dominant, this is a springbard toward that, but the... most of these regimes we're talking about in the islamic and arabic role, they are controlled by united states of america, but at the same time i'm saying the what's happening in gaza, what the resistance is doing in gaza today, it will be a spring board for another real arab spring will shake the regimes then, sure, god that that day could becoming sooner then later, let's look at what happened today where you're at, sucking now, um, it was another record breaking moment, i believe. in terms of the number of people, they came out to the streets of london, and uh, it's quite incredible to see that many people come out,
10:16 pm
and uh, the headlines uh, in more places than one, we're reading how uh, there's divisions now in the uk when it comes to the palestinian cause, where you have the people on the streets and then you have the uh uk officials, what is the division and why is it that we're seeing uh such a uh divide when it comes to uh the people in terms of the numbers and when it comes to the politicians, i have to start by saying that you know today i feel very very proud of london, close to million people were on the streets of london, i was one of them, and it was an extremely peaceful but very very strong you know voice over there, there were not only muslims over there, there were people from the jewish community, there were people from all different religious, denominations, there were all colors. and the reason why all these people came together is because there was one
10:17 pm
time in the west where we were controlled by the mainstream media so people only go to one side of the story because of the social media and also the alternative media people have been watching and making their own analysis and trying to see what is going on you know the large majority of the people are good human beings this is what i believe and when they see an operation they rec' it it is another thing of course that the leadership is a obvious tory party that is very much one with with america and israel and i think this brings the point of you, sheik nasrull he explained in his speech about that it wasn't actually we always think that the lobby in the western countries is very strong the israeli lobby, but it's actually america who controls israel, so it's america in britain, but we have very interesting scenario here because our home secretary here went out of
10:18 pm
her way to ensure that this really does not take place, she's even gone and written in the newspaper criticizing the police. who are under her, under the home secretary and she said this police are siding with the protesters and it you know she's been proven wrong, the rally went ahead, so many people came there and there was absolutely no issues, the only problem that happened were from the opposite side, the far right who actually wanted to interrupt and create problems for the rally, and who were you arrested by the police, but on the sides of pro palestinians there was absolutely no violence and this proves that people out there have a reason which is very valid reason to be there, they are not trying to create a problem. looking at another development here, the sabshath is the fact that you had the hisballa secretary general also speak today. now about an hour or so ago, we understand that israel has come out
10:19 pm
and has leveled a threat against uh hezbollah saying that you know if you gna "if you are going to get engaged more uh with uh with us in terms of the military skirmishes, let me read exactly what it said, so there's no mis communication from me. this is what the news said israellah that beirout could face similar fate to gaza. okay, what do you make of that threat? what is israel trying to do there? is it trying to cover the weakness that it may have when it comes to hizbullah? or are we looking at the..." fact that you have how many uss has carriers in the region and their artillery there that has emboldened israel to make such a threat against hezbullah. you see this entity is being led today uh by real for right fascist and even i want to go nazist kind of group and this
10:20 pm
group don't think of their own even people or arabs or muslims or anything so to them and some, like there is some religious groups in america, which is they they are looking christian sits looking for our magidom, and they think this is the point, and when they say netanyahu is you know yourself, and is being threaten by lot of court action, and plus this failure of the palestinian resistant in the 7th of october, tubling all all his what they call it gaza brigades and gaza's units in in less than six hours and they couldn't act the zin entity security wise or military wise till the the day of the the 8th of october and that day of 8th of
10:21 pm
october this is where the problem when they panicked the israeli army and start shooting there is lot of evidence today. servicing and more will service, how the helicopters open fire at the peoples who were in the concert in the near the the kiboots or the settlements and the same time how is their tanks open fire on houses there was in it as they claim hostages and some one or two of the resistance fighters, lot of the killings which they say the civilians or children or something being done with their army and this is proven today, so the... netanyahu doesn't want to face that, doesn't want to face corruption, he want to take advantage of the armada, it's in the east mediterranean, now facing gaza and lebanon, and he want to engage this ancient old man, biden who came the second day to show up their entity is which was collapsing, show it up and put it
10:22 pm
in the stage like it's standing up and it's facing this function state, so the z are trying to, which is understand very well, and the resistant understand it very well, and iran as well and syria understand it very well, that's why hizballah was engaged in a gradual kind of engagement from them to suck some of the military, which mean gets less pressure on gaza and to divert them toward lebanon, but the zin entity now, they trying anything to get the united states of america engaged, and this engagement means they try to do something in in the south of lebanon, but i tell you what, the the lebanese resistance and the palestinian resistance, they are very intelligent and capable leadership. they got, so they are not gonna fail for somebody who's going for the armagadin to save his skin, and as samson said on on my enemies and on me as well at
10:23 pm
the same time, so this is the zionist mentality of netanyahu. well, trying to understand the mentality of a minister, an israeli minister, that i'm sure you heard the news to that came out and said, maybe we should drop uh, nuclear bomb on the ghaza strap, mean at point, i think it's the equivalent of two nuclear bombs in terms of uh, the amount of tons of ammunition that have been dropped on the gaza's trip. uh, the the whole notion of israel thinking that killing palestinians is going to solve the problem somehow, is very mind boggling. i mean, you take any year from the year 203, 205, you pick year up to now, you can see that the ratio of israelis killed versus palestinians is so much less than the number of palestinians killed, but uh, did that solve the problem? it didn't solve the problem. why do they think killing palestinians is going to solve the problem? i think the two different things here, number one, you know, it's not mind boggling. i
10:24 pm
think if if you understand the mentality of these zionies when they talk about palestinians, they don't talk of them as human beings, they've called them cocories, they have called them, they don't see them as humans, and once you dehumanize any any population, then you don't have a difficulty in killing - many of them because you don't see them as human being, you don't see their dignity, you don't value their life, so what they're doing is they don't really, the more the marier they make their people happy because they are killing so many palestinians, but also i think this again another reason why they have gone on mass killing them is, i don't really only see this as as israel's war, i think this is america's war in the region and i think america has very you know goals, they've got very strategic, most of these are economic goals in terms of the trade, the suis canal and trying to create an alternative to it, they
10:25 pm
have now found something that they have had the plans for a long time, but they have found an opportunity this time to make it happen, and so they are bombing gaza, they want to just you know graze it down to the ground, this gives them an opportunity to start on those plans, but it's also very alarming that you know lebanon is coming into the place and yes we can discuss about the hizbullah and the resistance but for me personally i am just fearful of how many more people are going to die, how many more children and and that's really very very disturbing well the hezbolla secretary general sabshath my final question says that israel has hit 10,000 targets targets in the ghaza strip, he said that's just not the case, can't be 10,00 targets there that israel is uh overestimating or overstating the number of targets, that israel actually based on the most recent statement by the uh
10:26 pm
spokesperson abubaida um from the uh brigades has said that they've destroyed 160 israeli military targets in the past 48 hours, including more than 25 vehicles, quote, the confrontation is unequal, but it frightens and terrifies the the most powerful force in the region is what he said. "do you think that uh israel is suffering lot and maybe caught in this quagmire that it it has created in the ghaza strip? you see the 1000 targets, the zinity talking about to market to their own people who are thirsty designs for the arab blood, as my colleague was saying rightly, the every child, every woman, every man is was one of their target, since the hertsock himself, the..." from the left the this entity, monsters entity, he said, everyone in gaza is not innocent, the soldiers, they've been told they are not
10:27 pm
going to be hold accountable for any war crimes or anything by their their leadership, and everybody in gaza is a target, every single soldiers have that and lot of them talked and braged about it in the media, gaza, what the targets in gaza, they had the... universities, the hospitals, the schools and uh, yeah, yeah, sorry, we're just fresh out of time, do apologize, but thank you very much, so author and west asia expert from belfast, second out two journalist, author and producer from london, thank you, with that we come to now for this edition of the spotlight, thanks for being with us from me, and the team, it's goodbye. we're not supposed to talk about demona, that's the game, because it's a secret, this jewish state have 200 atomic of hydrogen. كان
