more and more blood of innocent palestinians being shed in gaza, which the un has called a graveyard for kids. al shah hospital has been encircled by israely forces with tel aviv insisting, palestinian fighters are present in the area, while hamas denies the claim as lie and asked the you on to visit the place first hand to prove the claim is wrong. now people seeking shelter in schools and hospitals that are now being directly hit by israel. forces, us made bombs and missiles. meantime, yemen's ansar leader has criticized some arab leaders for lack of effective action. at the same time people around the world keep condemning the israeli crimes and urging their leaders to do something about the genocide in gaza. welcome to the spotlight. i'm your host najafi. let's see who's joining us in this episode of the spotlight. ali salam editor in chief of price to join me from moscow. also with this is

shabir risvy, political commentator in chicago. welcome to the show gentlemen, now beginning uh with you ali, why do we see uh what uh some hamas leaders and also uh especially this yemen and sir leader uh calling more serious and if action from latin american countries instead of arab and muslim countries regarding what israeli force are doing in gaza? it's obvious that from recent events the golf arab monarchies which have been installed in place by the british since maybe hundred or more years ago, they've essentially used their american made. uh

patriots missiles and other systems to block the various retaliatory strikes coming from yemen, in support of the palestinians. now if the if these regimes were truly in support of the palestinians that they may give lip service to here and again, why, why is it their business to block those missiles? so just goes to show that these regimes are absolutely in the pockets of the zionist regime, of the american regime and the... for the uh various countries as you mentioned in latin america or elsewhere, their hearts, even though their um mileage or sorry kilometer distance is much greater than the gulf regimes, they are still more on the side of truth and uh they're able to take greater steps towards uh actually supporting palestine not just in lip service, but in actual action there have been a few latin american countries there the exact ones flip my mind the... viewers can look it up

themselves, but they've actually expelled the uh israeli ambassadors from their country. this is much greater and much more significant step than anything, the uh zionist uh puppet regimes and the... uh arabian peninsula have done uh in these just in this past few weeks right uh shall we let me ask your opinion how how do you look at this i mean what did the deal of the century uh bring to those arab states that normalized their ties with the tel aviv regime shouldn't they start backtracking from that deal that only envisages the israeli interests? yeah uh great question uh obviously you know the deal of this century was created uh on the behest the israeli regime, it was you know created by the donald trump administration here in the united states, but i think all this to say, these countries that are clearly doing nothing uh for the palestinian cause, meanwhile you have countries from latin america, countries from africa even uh from

from from the far east kind of aligning themselves with the palestinian cause, i think this is all really showing the world uh each country's orientation to where they stand against or with the side of imperialism and there are certain countries that you know are post colonial, we'll say or recovering from colonialism, but essentially they have comparador regimes that act on behalfs of us imperial interests and you know those countries uh we can include in the deal of the century where you know they cut a deal essentially to sign away their actual individual sovereignty in favor of being part the us aligned um economic movement which is you know the the movement of imperialism now other countries as we have seen in latin america are reach that because as we know uh latin america has a long history of suffering from colonialism and now they're in what i call post colonial recovery, so it's obvious to see that these countries would be you know vehimently against zionism, which is a colonial a settler colonial project, and it's easy to see where they're coming from when

they outright reject um and actually make substantial uh moves towards you know getting israelis out of their own country, you know expelling them, breaking off ties. um we might even see some you know cuts with ties economically and so this all this is to say is that the deal of the century was you know capitalation to the imperialistic powers now ale let's not talk about uh the us role in this there is this uh clear contradiction that you see between their words and deeds they say we don't want to see what's going on in gaza why our hospitals hit and the funny thing is the hospitals are hit and some of those residential buildings buy us made weapons like hellfire do you see? we're reporting it, i mean, how do, i mean, there is no justification for this, you cannot square off, you say something, you do something else, does america really want people in gaza and their sufferings to be alleviated, do they care about peace and tranquility in this part of the world at all?

no, they don't, they don't care about the people of gaza, it's just the way to take the blame and the guilt of all this bloodshed, which is very easy for the world to see, sleepy joe biden as many. called him uh, he repeated the very um absurd and ridiculous claim, and evidence, evidenceless claim that hamas beheaded 40 babies, when there is no proof, but there's proof every single day of a child being killed, of baby being killed, even uh babies being killed before they are born or premature babies dying because of the situation in the hospitals with the lack of... access to uh the most basic of medical supplies, this is something that is at the hands of the regime in the us, and they have always been uh kind of co-partners, the the american imperialists and the zionists, they have very similar supremecist ideology, that

they are the superior people of the world and everyone else is is inferior and all kinds of crimes can can be justified because of it, there's a huge... a connection between the various powerful zionist families of europe such as the roth child family and the founding folders of the united states, so it's not like something that the us has only recently been a partner in crime uh with various zionist groups, but it's it's been that way essentially since the beginning of the united states and perhaps before it because they were also doing uh similar crimes uh in the united states says perhaps a test run for how they would treat the rest of the... world following the establishment of the american empire after the uh so-called american revolution. okay and shabir we we have these admissions and some comments by israeli ministers recently you the one that started two weeks ago saying actually likeikening palestinans in gaza to animals

the defense minister and then we had the other one saying why not neuk gaza what what kind of war is this just just new and just let's get rid of this and he was not satisfied and then the now have also the uh finance minister saying that palestinis, the only solution for them is to go find some other land for themselves, that's a solution, and then the other one saying that this is actually... a gaza naka 2023. i want to ask you your take on these. i mean, the zionist regime is making it perfectly clear that if they could get away with genocide they 100% will. they're making it perfectly clear that their end goal here is the expulsion of all palestinians from palestinian land. they're making it perfectly clear here that any person that decides to get in their way, they will smear them, they will try to harass them into submitting into their... this in colonialist doctrine and they're telling the world that you know if if you're not with us

then we're going to create lies and we're going to lie right to your face in order to get you to be on our side, otherwise it's an anti-semitic for example, and there's very few regimes now that are willing to back israel, it's primarily the western regimes right, the united states, the eu, australia, and the longer that they hold to the zionist um occupation of palestine, longer that they try to defend. and these the zionist regime, they'regit, they're delegitimizing themselves, because you have zionits going on tv blantly lying to our faces, yesterday a video came out with the zionist soldier allegedly under hospital saying that these are the names of terrorists that would be on guard over these hostages and then if you look at if any if anyone can read arabic in there they would have told you that these are actually the days of the week right, they're blatantly lying to our faces, they rely on the ignorance of the people in the west so that... they can continue these gen crimes, they are 100% banking on people to be ignorant, primarily in the west, all their

lies are catered towards a western audience because they rely on western media, they rely on western weapons, they rely on western political apparatuses to continue their genocide, and they don't care really what people that are in countries like iran or china or anywhere, that's that what we would consider uh the global majority really, because the global majority stands against zionism, they don't really care about their opinion. they care about the opinions of the west and they desperately need the west to stay alive, because if they wouldn't, if they didn't have the political backing of the west, if they didn't have the military backing of the west, primarily the united states, the zionist regime would fall its face in less than a minute. okay, now ali, with this recent threat of using you know abom in gaza, is the time that tel aviv came clean about its nukes, the only possessor of nuclear weapons in west asia, doing the uh countries in the region and beyond, do they feel threatened that they are saying that, hey guys, why not use our bombs? so that

means we are in position of those bombs. it has never really been uh as such point in history where the zianist regime is really showing their naked face as they are now, actually threatening to use their nuclear weapons. now they did have a plan to nuke syria back during the 1970s during the uh second war between uh ocupation and the various arab governments that are surrounding it, but they never went through with it, and um, i'm not exactly sure if it was made public or not, if it was leaked later, but this is the first instance where it's just hey, we're going to brag about it, and we don't care, because really there's uh, there's a lot of people in this world, as our guest was saying that are waking up that are awake, but there are also people that are um very ignorant and clueles and easily buy into this propaganda, so the zionist minister can literally threaten to use nuclear weapons and they will justify it. and the the the most ironic thing is that these uh brainwash and

ignorant westerners don't realize that while it's possible that the zionists will use nuclear weapons against neighboring countries, it's also entirely possible that they'll use it against western countries as well, and given that netanyahu is basically saying like, hey, if you don't support us, if you don't help us to win, there's going to be terrorist attacks in your countries, even though hamas uh doesn't exercise terrorism as a tactic, it doesn't civilians as a tactic because military occupiers in palestine are not civilians. in reality, groups like isis who are really terrorist, groups like al-qaeda who are really terrorists are actually funded and financed and armed and created and everything micromanaged um from the top to the bottom by the zionist regime and the american intelligence apparatus, so in this in this case netanyahu is really slyly uh threatening uh the west with false flag. terrorism blackmail, now that can be something as small as a very small scale like

knife attack or gun attack, it could be something as large scale as a nuclear attack on the west, but instead of like directly claiming it and boasting about it, which um maybe is it within their capacity, but it might be more clever of them to essentially uh, i hope to god that never happens that would be untold misery, but they would do that and they would blame it on iran or hamas or these countries that don't. believe in killing civilians, actually in defending civilians and actually are the groups responsible for defeating isis perrorism, most of i think many people in the west don't know who are the... real faces of the people who defeated isis, it's hezballah, it's iran, it's martter kasim sulaimani, it's the resistance groups in iraq, it's all the groups that you're told to hate, but the they are the ones who actually saved the skin of the west from uh global uh terrorist organization that could easily go rogue against its masters and actually cause great harm to the west despite them being created

by them, right should be here, different measures have been taken in reaction to all these uh by israeli forces and one of them is actually uh encouraging boycotting of israel made products and also uh stopping like what iran's leader uh advised sell of sale of oil for instance and basic supplies and essentials to the regime. how effective would this be and how badly would it hurt the israely economy? i think a mass boycott that's led by all uh islamic nations anyone will. to do dealings with the zionist regime is is far past necessary at this point, it's kind of a shame that this region of the world has so much oil and so much to offer in terms of trade routes and sort of in terms of resources, in terms of labor, but they're not united enough to enact this embargo, think in an embargo, seven days of an embargo would cripple israel permanently, um, there would

be no recovering from it, and if you pair that with the boycott movement, that's led not only you know throughout the east but also now in the west as we see um and also just mass stoppages of weapons factories if you're paying attention to what's happening in the united states there have been um coordinated efforts to shut down weapons factories such as rathion such as albet systems such as bowing if you combine this it's going to hit them where it hurts and anybody knows um that if you want to severely take down an entity whether it be a political one whether it be you know a country itself you have to hit them in their economy and the best to do that right now is to enact an oil embargo, put a full workstop, but you also have to take into consideration, of course israeles don't live on occupied palestines, so lot of the workplace workforce has already left, they went back to europe, they went back to the united states, they went back to their second home in brooklyn or rather rather their first home really, and they already are missing severe amount of their

workforce, you pair that with the fact that this this uh this aggression on gaza is causing the israeli entity. hundreds of millions of dollars per day, they're actually asking the united states for billions more. this is going to make tax payers, especially angry, especially with a us presidential election coming up, this is going, this is creating the conditions for a perfect storm to finally take down the zionist entity, and if we don't act on this uh opportune moment right now, then we're going to regret it forever for the rest of history. now ali uh, given the circumstances and the situation underground and do you see... a war uh the war spreading in the region and a regional war looming despite all the warnings given by countries like iran and others. it's hard to tell and god truly knows best, but the the zionist regime essentially would will lose either way uh, if they were too cowardly to go into this very minor ground invasion into

gaza, where they're being humiliated despite their so-called superior technological. uh capabilities and many other capabilities, um, they're they're not able to, you think they would be able to do it a piece of cake few days, but they're not able to, they're not able to handle it, so it will escalate into a regional war, according to what his eminent say, the secretary general of hizbullah, has stated that basically if the resistance leadership and and basically the like existential threat to and its existence as a resistant remaining piece of what used to be palestine um then of course it will escalate and it and even then it still has been escalating because basically the according to the secretary general of hezballah the presence of hezbullah in the north in the northern front has been to divert some of the

pressure and force that would have otherwise been directed onto so they've been intensifying many of their strikes in in proportion it seems um uh with the uh invasion in into ghaza, but it's it's either way the zionist regime is uh doom and it's going to lose, if it's surrenders then it's a humiliating defeat, but if it keeps going the combined fire power of even just a couple of the resistance access powers let alone the entire combined forces would be enough to humiliate both the... american forces in the region as well as the zionist occupation, so i i i believe that which whichever way the uh the course. of this onslot and genocide goes, if the if a certain uh resistance group deem certain red lines have been crossed uh and

they uh intervene in order to stop this genocide in order to finally eliminate this terroristic zinanis regime uh from uh power then they will it will it will uh it will happen basically as the final uh war that this uh very uh blood soaked occupation has ever fought in their entire existence. okay, now shabir, what about justice? which international tribunal is capable of uh trying the israeli war criminals? is it the icc, the icj? yeah, i think as things stand, i don't trust any of these organizations to do anything, because we are seeing a clear genocide happen right now, none of them have really stepped up to you, act actually even enacting any charges on benjamin netanyahu at the very least, there there has been nothing uh these organizations are showing themselves to ultimately be puppets of of the west, of

the united states, and i think if we're looking for anything, any organization like that to get involved, it's going to be up to pressure for multiple countries to get those organizations to do anything, because as we see it right now, you know, there's there's a there's a child dying in gaza every 10 minutes. um and if we use zianist media media's own standards right, they they say they say they've killed uh maybe like you know few dozen hamas soldiers, that's hundreds of kids per hamas soldier and so to any standard if this was russia, if this was china, if this was iran, the icc would have already created the charges, they would have been alerted everybody else, and same with the with the with the uh with the un, the un won't even name who's killing at their own uh volunteers in gaza, they won't even say: israel, we cannot rely on these bodies to do anything, we can only rely on the resistance, the resistance axis, which of course includes which includes iran, which includes of course

the the noble people of yemen who are fighting uh the zinis, even while facing a crisis of their own, i don't think we should leave it up to any of these uh international bodies to do anything, it should be up to the resistance themselves to carry out justice, and it will be up to the resistance themselves to free palestine. okay, hopefully. all right, and that now we come to the end of this show. ali salam chief of vasira press, joined me from moscow, and shabir riz political commentator from chicago with her insight, and thank you for watching this episode of the spotlight, i'm pressed, i've been your host, and i'll see you next time.

after the occupation of palestinian lands and creation of the israely regime, both sides came to realize the power of cinema and

getting their messages across. 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 the occupied territories. on the other hand, although belatedly, palestinians also learn to use the power of media and cinema to make their voice heard of across the world, it was new battlefield for both sides.

israel intensifies attacks on gaza south despite ordering civilians in northern gaza to flee to what it calls the southern safe zone. a senior officials saying that israel is trying to cover up its failures in gaza by accusing the resistant movement of using hospitals there. as bases, and the leader of yemen's anzarola movement says that his country will continue attacks on israel, raising the possibility of targeting israeli ships in the red sea.
