actually with the um with the destruction of the road specifically, this is not a new strategy, this is something that israel does very often um to to immobilize the palestinians to make them you know to to remove all infrastructure that allows them to uh be self-sufficient to travel on their own, you know to, this is why they bombed bakeries, this is why they're bombing hospitals, this is why they've bombed schools, this is why they're not allowing aid into uh the ghaza strip, um, it's because they want these people to be so... um literally on their vulnerable them so that they can be controlled. now we've got about another minute for the next story, but i'd like to um watch this video and just have you explain if we will. palestinian resistance 100%. no ifs, no ends, no butts, no equivocations, no apologies, no condemnations, we don't need to go any further than that, right? some people want to criticize the table manners of a starving person, you don't criticize the table manners of a sorry person, you let them eat right, you want to talk about, well they shouldn't be doing things this way or they should be doing things that way, all right? get your

boot off my neck and then we'll talk right, it's like this occupation has been going on for however many years, stop the occupation and then we'll talk, then we can talk about table matters, now we can talk about this tactic and that tactic right, but what happens is every single time is that we we zoom in on the details and we forget about the bigger picture and that's why we say palestine has to be free first, period and then we'll talk, perhaps the response there to a great majority of the public who feels all of this started on the 7th of october, how can you have? how can you think of this situation with a start and an end date within within a month? this this amount of devastation, this amount of horror in one month, are you kidding? do do you, do you think the people of the world are stupid? and and this man, what he's saying is is absolutely true, anyone who tries to tell us do you condemn? talk to me about why hamas is firing rockets, how dare you? do you not understand what you've put the palestinian people through? give them the... dignity,

give them their rights and then we can talk about what's nice and what's not. until then you have nothing to say to the palestinians, we are with the palestinians and that's the perfect spot to leave things with latifa, until next time. well, latifa abu there for us now, the british capital has been the scene of mass pro-palestine demonstrations every weekend throughout the past month. the of next. demo expected to be the biggest yet has been planned for november the 11th to coincide with armistice day, which marks the in end of world war one, in what's been described by rights campaigners as the largest attack on the right to protest in post-war british history, the uk's interior minister sowella braverman has called palestine solidarity demonstrations hate marches and accuse the country's police force of bias in favor of them. here's more. the

democratic right to protest, to assembly and to free speech, under attack in britain, ahead of a mass pro-palestine demonstration in the british capital on november 11th. on the front line of the attack, prime minister rishi sunak, describing as disrespectful the rally which coincides with armistice weekend, commemorating the end of the first world war. this is decision that the metropolitan police commissioner has made. and he has said that he can ensure that we safeguards remembrance for the country this weekend as well as keep the publik safe. now my job is to hold him accountable for that and we've asked the police for information on how they will ensure that this happens. his interior minister swelo braverman has not been one to shy away from coming out with what many are calling inflammatory devisive comments. she also published an editorial in the times newspaper this week. accusing police of being

lenient towards quote, pro-palestine mobs and hate marches, after the force said it could not legally ban the protest. her fiery language has drawn heavy criticism, including from politicians in england and beyond, also a response from demonstrators and activists in recent rallies. all we hear from people here is to stand for justice, we are here to do what parliament refuse to do and call for an immediatefire, when they try and say this is a march of hate, this is a march of love, and the march of love in london will continue to grow until we see a free palestine. for four weeks in a row, loud cries from demonstrators have ripped through the silence of the uk government's silence on israel's genocidal campaign in gaza. this week too, organizers say they're going to do that yet again. much to on pick there, my guestt is

still with me, said mosan abbas and ivon ridley, ivan, i'm going to kick things off with you, because we have not seen a home secretary. this draconian, this bias, incompetence, some might say, ever, have we? well, i'm no spring chicken, as you know, and i can't think in living memory of any home secretary who came as near to - being so out of control as suwella braverman, um, and she is out of control, i there's two things going on here, uh, there is the fact that she is uh married to a zionist and has very strong zionist leanings and the other thing is she wants to be the next prime minister and she's she's trying to exploit the fact that rishi

sunnak is not a popular leader and she's almost defying him to suck her and she submitted this inflammatory article that ended up in the times, she submitted it to downing street, and uh, there were few people who said we need to change this, take out that, add this, put this in as a caviat, and then it's good to go, and she ignored all of the advice, so basically she's ignoring her boss and in the meantime she stirring things up, well i salute everyone who goes out to march at the weekend, you know, the dead cannot cry out for justice, but we can, and it is our duty as ordinary people around the world to cry out for the palestinian people

and give them a voice. after the holocaus, there were cries of never again, and now we all have a front row seat in our... lounges watching a genocide unfold day by day before our very eyes by the very people who were the abused in the second world war, and it's a classic case of the abuse becoming the abuser, and i really do feel for the jewish community, not just in britain, but around the world, because this is not in their name and many of them and what's worth mentioning there as well is you say not in their names, so many jewish blocks are on these marches, mosen, yet, the home secretary will have you think it's a morowding group of pro hamamas

supporters wielding their machetties? well you know they've been weaponizing anti-semitism, they've been muddying the waters between what is zionism, what is judaism, um look it's it's up to the jewish community to come clean in terms of where their loyalties lie with israel, some may be zionists, some may be openly zionits, but ultimately they've they can't be held collectively if you like uh responsible for what israel is doing, israel is nation state, it's doing what it's doing, what what does need to be analyzed though is the the interference in politics of israeli lobbies, the the the the compromise of the the the neutrality and the impartiality of our politicians, but that doesn't need to be a problem if have a home secretary who's already going above and beyond? well, i've never seen anything like it. well, you know, i remember margaret thatcher, from the days of margaret thatcher's government, the fact was people like keith joseph, nigel lawson, they were all part of the uh, the angle zenst imperialist network, and the israeli lob

lobbies are embedded so deeply in the money coming from the the city of london and elsewhere, so so uh, you know these politicians end up with corporate bodies after they leave their their posts and of course, well it's supposed to. be this revolving door moson, but i just want to bring uh ivon ridley back in to this one, because you talk there about suela brotherman almost daring richy sunak to to sack her, the fact that he cannot, and in some ways kind of walked back a little bit of the damage that was done by her article in the time, saying, ultimately it's for the police chiefs to sort this out, and he'll be you know heavily ensuring that they do and ensuring that they'... take responsibility, how do you find that situation playing out? well, i found myself in the rather bizarre position of defending the head of the metropolitan police, because sir has been put an

impossible position now by this out of control, home office minister, he he's in no- win um quite how and and what advice he's going to give to his police officers for the marches in future. it's it's difficult to know, and of course, what suala braven has done is indirectly, i'm sure she, well, who knows what goes on in her mind, but indirectly she's put out an appeal to every right-wing nut to go along to these peace marches, and i've been on them and and they are peaceful marches, she's... feeling to every right-wing not to get in there and undermine them and things up a little bit

right monson and this this is also woman who prior to this was also trying to crack down on protest so this this is just everything she needs right here yeah i think the the right to protest our freedom of speech the democracies that we have are actually they've been under threat very clearly since even covid the the the state in on these rights and pushing forever more powers for the police has been a thing for quite some time now uh people like broverman are just pushing that boat a little bit further out so incrementally and gradually they're trying to get the public to accept that it's in their best interest to lose all these really hard one rights of protests and whatever it didn't come easy all this this business but now for the state which is increasingly becoming a surveillance state and and this is where you've got to link israel back in what the the "the western powers and what the leaders in the west want to do is test, they're also testing out in israel all the things that

they'd actually ideally like to have in their own nation so that you don't have this democracy which allows to be people to be that vociferous. i mean, israel, ethnic cleansing, israel's democracy itself, getting rid rid of the the judicial system which netanyahu has been doing, israel making it okay to sort of genocide and ethnic cleansed people, all of this creates a kind of a mood music, and mood music which actually..." it seems increasingly in the west, our our legal systems and our laws and our our institutions seem to gradually want to develop and impose over here as well. i think we should be resisting the notion of a surveillance state, a hypercapitalist surveillance state, very very might come, might have come a little bit too late, that knowledge, and just very briefly here, ivan, what would be your message to those going on these protests over the weekend just to make sure everything is okay? that they're safe. keep on marching, because down the line, your grandchildren or

great grandchildren will talk about the gaza genocide, and they'll turn around and say, what did you do? most of europe hangs its head in shame because of the guilt felt over the holocaust, and we must not put ourselves in that position where we feel permanently guilty. because nothing was done to stop the slaughter of the jewish people, we can do something now, and if it's just by marching, writing letters, holding silences, holding sittings, and as you said, amina, lot of these initiatives are driven by the jewish community who know what silence can do, and you know, we should not become in our silence right there, so despite its multi-billion

dollar pledge to israel, there is a growing on ease inside the corridors of power about the genocide that's clearly taking place in gaza, but a small determined group are speaking out for seasfire, and they gathered on the steps of capital hill. we know that a true and lasting peace for both israeli and can only be achieved through the recognition of our interdependence and a commitment to diplomacy. we must reject a doctrine that only some lives are worth protecting and recognizing that the lives, that the futures and the collective safety of israelis and palestinians is intertwined. the solutions we put forward and support should affirm our shared humanity and reject all forms of the humanization, scape. goding and collective punishment. as nation, we must use our

influence and the power as world leaders to affirm our commitment to human rights, international law and the escalation. right, so fahammad is back with the follow up to her first offering of palestine in the media, and this one's an interesting first story for hima, because the idea here about the conflation of... antisemitism with criticism of israel as the right-wing government than it is, set up why you chose this particular tweet here, i think as many people don't want to listen to um, certain voices, but this is a voice from a israeli human rights lawyer, talking about how the criticism of using anti-semitism, you know, against the government and policy is not the right terminology, so antisemitism is actually - you know criticizing and being against jews for being jewish, not for criticizing the government and its policies and the video

will explain that in much more depth, and it's really powerful to hear it from this person. himself product of years and years of abuse of this sacred fight against antisemitism, it's really sacret and very important fight uh by um by israeli government officials and and and their supporters uh more exploiting the the you know the the the term antisemitism and abusing it by using it in context that has nothing to do with anti-semitism. um and i can see it in british politics um the the you know the the scare of criticizing israely governmental policy when it comes to the palestinians when it comes to annexationist platforms when it comes to the horrific things that we see now in the west bank that no one's no one is talking about how the settlers have been completely waiting raids

on the weakest communities in south mount hebro. and in the jordan valley, and people are afraid to talk about it, because they're afraid of being uh um of being accused of antisemitism, we know what an antisemitism is very powerful, and it shows the the spectrum and the broadness of that word being abused, as he mentioned, but it's not by accident, it's been a deliberate coopting of that phrase, now uh culminating with ihra. definition which is being adopted by the government, so many of the public bodies, we're speaking out will get you in trouble, absolutely, and he even said you know the people even there that have been in fear for so many years and now angry with this belief and you are speaking up against what they see is wrong, that the palestinians are the weakest sort of nation that is being oppressed and the settlements and the

bombardments and the oppression and they will speak out because it's not antisemitic. what's your other story? the other? story is very interesting one, um, we have a cnn sort of footage here with a former idf soldier, and you have to pay attention to the very first sentence where they try to cut him off, but he is very, very clear as to what he's saying, so let's have look now, decisive blow or that's at least what i thought at the time, but i only saw afterwards that my own government strengthen, um, weirdly enough, okay, in case you didn't hear. he mentioned my own government was strengthening hamas and suddenly his air peace went he was clear there was no interruption it seemed like it came from the cnn uh but he did go on um sort of reporting as to how there is no military solution and how barbaric and brutal that uh

the actual military is uh towards the palestinians and confirms that as we've seen the ministers have said that this is ethnic cleansing and um the government do not see a difference between hamas and the civilians or the uh palestinian authority and brushes them all under one so for them to think that they are safe um or they are being cared or they just you know saying this kind of thing to it it is just empty and mainly israels debate this and angry at the stories again at the rhetoric that's been you know told from such... young agents so many times in their own cities and places and now again they are hearing from even the soldiers themselves right uh our last one is well he's a soldier of saw uh definite thorn in the british government side this is uh mick linch who's the rmt union boss here on robert pesten's show uh briefly fatima why is this uh interesting? this is interesting because as

we having these protests coming up as well this weekend and again it's been said that uh the slogan. um obviously from the river to the sea is not anti-semitic and he obviously says that and it to him it doesn't mean that's the end of these israeli states he says that even many jews don't think it is so he's in debate arguing that point john landsman founder of momentum uh somebody who i imagine you would agree with on quite a lot of stuff he says that the slogan from the river to the sea is anti-semitic and shouldn't be used do you agree with that not particularly i'm not aware that anti-semitic, i've heard jewish people use that phrase, there will be jewish people on the march at the weekend from all sorts of organizations, and it doesn't offend me, if it offends certain people, it doesn't mean the end of the israeli state, we believe... a two-state solution and most of the people participate in that will believe that is uh final comments on this one, well again it's just to say that um the the actual story of having

these marches is emphasize the freedom of speech and the democratic structure that we do live in is to actually protest about having peace fahim muhammad next time thank you so much uh ivan ridley who's still hanging on in there from - the scottish highlands at the moment uh, we talked a little bit earlier about the home secretary and their clear anti-palestinian rhetoric. it is clear, i think for everyone who's been following this story, that they're not even considered equal, if peaceful marches in their names are considered problematic by the very government. how, how are you seeing it? well, there aren't two sides to this story, there's one side. and that is the oppressor, oppressing the oppressed, and this isn't a time to be neutral either, which might seem a

strange thing for a journalist to say, but you know, i've got this scarf here, this was given to me by journalists in gaza, and they have paid the ultimate sacrifice for. carrying out their job, delivering the truth, um, record numbers of journalists have been uh killed as well, more war crimes, um, these there aren't two sides, there is israel launching a war against an unarmed civilian population, and as i say that this is not a time uh to view things as equal, they're not equal. i think to to misquote the the late archbishop dasmond tutu, he said, if an

elephant is standing a mouse's tail, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. this isn't a time to be neutral, it's a time to take sides, and we should be on the sides the oppressed and give a voice to the voice. and it's as simple as that, and if you disagree with that, then you're off to hell a hand cart. uh, ivan, uh, when you were on that first convoy to break the siege on gaza via sea, and then also on the first convoy where you broke the seas on gaza via land, via north africa, what were people telling you then about what it meant to them, that they had this kind of support from outside. "one of the strongest messages that came through is, where is the muslim world? and indeed, you know, we have to look around at

all of the neighbors of gaza, and i've often said, if turkey and algeria were the next door neighbors, this wouldn't be happening now, um, you know, the arab world has to stand up and start defending. the palestinians and uh and it's a no brainer really for the arab leaders if they look around their people want to see justice in gaza and uh you know the beginning of this program we we mentioned this plan to plow through gaza and create a rival to the uh the the suis canal the suis canal makes n billion a year in trade revenue for the egyptian people, um, they're not going to want to see that that money disappear, but this is

obviously what is happening, and our silence, the the silence of the world cannot be allowed to continue. antonio, he's getting it, and he really is, definitely is, ivan, i just want to spend the last minute with you here, mossen in the studio with me, uh, what's your note here for those who are letting the establishment blowback, determine how they sit on this story? i think uh, the moral conscience of the world is waking up, there's a 20-1 ratio of support for palestinians now, this is in spite of trillions of dollars of hasbara propaganda that's been rolled out, you've got to recognize the fact that the people on the ground are not necessarily buying into this. the way the old days uh it was easy for the israelis to do, so i think there's some hope there that the the conscience of the world is rising, the the arab world was mentioned, the

arab world itself is also protesting the... are banned from processing, saudi arabia for instance puts 30,000 or so political prisoners of conscience for having any kind of independent belief, and yes they are guilty, but it's because they're absolutely tied into the anglo-zionist empire, the saudi arabians, and and that ilk were all created by the west, they've been controlled by the west, and they remain in that position. egypt, on the other hand, well again, they've been offered billions of dollars by israel and also a writing off of. their debt if they accept these gardens and the egyptians have been guilty of uh trapping the the the palestinians as well so no doubt there they are problem turkey i'm afraid they do eight billion dollar trade with they do and we want to hear all about that but maybe for the next time was sin abbas because with those comments we've come to the end of the show let me thank my guess said mosan abbass and ivon ridley gaza under attack will be back next time with more until then continue to keep palestine in your hearts goodbye.

your headlines on press tv, the israeli military has killed more than 11,100 palestinians in gaza, over 8,00 of them women and children with no let up in the bombings. the iranian 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 lebanon's hezbullah movement says the israeli onslaught in gaza is to underminend the resistance was a miscalculation.
