35 fighter jets. the israel 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... iranian president also attended, all

of agreed on the genocide committed by the barbaric regime, but the question remains, what 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 shaat, he's an author. and west asia expert who joins us from belfast. right, let me first start with you, sakina. if i may, and um, uh, 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 11,00. you have 4506 children and 3,27 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, it is just unprecedented, i 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 of happening, i think it is because the us obviously the western countries their 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 or bring a se 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 seasfire, this is because to a large extent they were waiting 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 are starting to see talks, but i don't. even think that it's going to stop anytime soon and god knows how many more lives are going to be lost before there is genuine um worldwide effort to bring a sease fire. all right, when it comes to talks. 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 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, or are we just looking at words again? mean, you know, and uh, some are criticizing the fact that this was held after all these all this time, 34 days, yeah, 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 think they they they met and they they just communicates and words after 36 days of

genocide launch by the designers entity and the us and nato in support of that, 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 corridor, humanitarian corridor from rafah to ghaza, from the egyptian border to ghaza, 55 arabic and muslim countries from malaysia to to lebanon, they couldn't manage to put the their weight behind and to pressurize egypt as well and to tell them, we are behind you, just open he humanitarian uh 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 sewage is not

working, there is because of there is no energy, the zinus entity targeting even the solar system panels, they targeting the water storage and areas. the 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 can take decisive action if they want against the zist entity, some of them, some of these countries are they have relationship with the zist entity and they recognize turkey recognize the the zist entity from 1949, and let's not forget turkey is the one who lost as an ottoman empire run by the turkish nationalist at the time, lost palestine to the british incubation, and not forget egypt is the country who lost gaza strip to the zist 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 americans did, they can boycot this nazi terrorist country, the the arab and muslim countries, they can put a brusher now in washington with their capacity, i'm talking about countries who have. go ahead, yeah, well um, the question is, and i'm going to ask uh, like you can 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, a trade and oil embargo would uh, probably one the best things that can be done, uh, and also uh 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, at uh, on oil and trade, why isn't there a will on the behalf of the uh? the countries, either muslim countries or even countries in west asia, or some call the midd 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 of 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 convinced that there is you know there is this shia. sunni for example one of the factors in the region and that iran is vyying 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 this 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 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 appease 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 political 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 i personally see this to be the main reason why there is no political will, it's very hard to understand this and i don't want to." beat this to a pulp here, but uh, i mean uh, you know, a ceasefire, is that really too hard for these countries to push uh 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, 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 arabic, which is the arab spring, there is huge geopolitical 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

mashachism from arabia, so there is a change in that, you 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 1973 when the saudis and the arab producing and muslim producing. countries supported by some international, they put the the the boycot in on the western countries to support this entity and they they created mehem 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 boy might benefit their companies, but the end of the day the their economy is destroyed, i'm talking about today these countries is they can only start gradually to ditch the dollar as a standard reserve

currency that is used today in the pricing of oil and selenon 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 humanize the world financial affairs the us then this dominance will collapse, if the arab countries and muslim countries the production of oil start detching 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 dominance, this is a springbard toward that, but these most of these regimes we talking about in the islamic and arabic role, they are. by united states of america, but at the same time, i'm saying

the what's happening in gaza, what the resistant 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 than later, let's look at what happened today where you're at, suking that too, um, it was another record breaking moments, i believe in terms of the number of people that came out to the streets of london, and uh, it's quite incredible. to see that many people come out 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 then 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, they were all colors and and the reason why all these people came together is because "there was one time in the west where we were controlled by the mainstream media, so people only got 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 oppression they recognize it. it is another thing of course that the leadership." is is a obvious tory party that is very much

one with with america and israel and i think this brings the point of you know sheikh nasrulah 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 had very interesting scenario here because our home secretary here went out of 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 say 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 know 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 re which is very valid reason to be there, they are not trying to create a problem. looking at another development here, the subshath is the fact that you had the hezbollah secretary general also speak today. now about an hour or so ago, we understand that israel has come out and has leveled a threat against saying that you know if you're going to if you are going to get engaged more uh with with us. in terms 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 hezballah? or are we looking at the

fact that you have how many uss has carriers in the region and there are? there that has embolddened israel to make such a threat against. you see the zist entity is being led today by a real for right fascist and even i want to go nazist kind of group and this 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 sanis looking for armagidom, 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 gazas units in in less than six hours and they couldn't act the zist entity security wise or military wise till the the day of the the 8th of october and that day of 8 october this is where is 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 people were in the concert in the near the the kiboot 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 resistant 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. the armada, it's in show 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, it up and put it in the stage like it's standing up and it's facing this function state, so this are trying to, which is understand very well, and the resistant und it very well and iran as well and syria understand it very well, that's why 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 zinist 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 gone for the armaget to save his skin and as samson said on on on my enemies and on me as well at the same time so this is the signist mentality of netanyahu well uh trying to understand the mentality of a minister and israeli minister that i'm sure you heard the news of too that came out and said maybe we should drop uh uh nuclear bomb on the gaza strep, mean at this point, i think it's the equivalent of two nuclear bombs in terms of uh the amount of tons of union that have been dropped on the gaza's trip. the the whole notion of israel thinking that killing palestinians is going to solve the problem somehow is very mind

boggling. 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? is going to solve the problem? i think there are two different things here, number one, you know, it's not mind boggling, i 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 as 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 um 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 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 ghaza, they want to just you know graze it down to the ground, this gives them an opportunity to start on those plants, but it's also very alarming that you know lebanon is coming into the place and yes we can discuss about the... hizbullah in 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, uh, my final question says that israel has hit 10,00 targets targets in the gaza strip, he said that's just not the case, there can't be 10,00 targets there that israel is uh overestimating or over... stating the number of targets that israel actually based on the most recent statement by the uh 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 most powerful force in the region is what he said. do you think that uh israel is suffering lot and may be caught in this quag? that it it has created in the ghaza strip? you see the 1000 targets, the z 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 president who is from the left of the this entity, monsters entity, he said everyone in gaza is not innocent, the soldiers, they've been told they are not going to behold 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 yeah. yeah, sorry, we're just fresh out of time, i do apologize, but thank you very much, stop shot, author and west asia expert from belfast, sucking out our two journalists 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 mecovway and the team, it's goodbye. after the occupation of palestinian lands and creation of the israeli regime, both sides came to realize the power of cinema in getting their messages across. the israeli regime used cinema to show the territory it had occupied as heaven on earth in order to entice jews from all over the world to migrate to occupied territories. on the other hand, although belatedly, palestinians also learn to use the power of media and cinema to make their voice heard across the world. it

was new battlefield for both sides.

your headlines on press tv, the israeli military has killed more than 11,100 palestinians in gaza, over 8,000 of them women and children with no let off 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. the secretary general of lebanon's hezbollah movement says the israel onslaughting gaza to undermine resistance was a miscalculation.
