tv Gaza Under Attack : PRESSTV November 16, 2023 12:02am-12:30am IRST
12:02 am
as a military base, using a school as a military base, a school that they have um that that the palestinian people have vacated, one of the only places left, i would say in the area that's still standing, but you can still see the destruction all around it, you can still see the the damage to the building, the bullet holes, the white phosphorus that's burnt through, um, and and the glee with which they're preparing to go out and kill more people, absolutely, you know, it's it's such a shame that there are. of people dumb enough within the um israeli occupation forces to continue to record and share this, as if it's a moment of pride and triumph for them, when actually they are just simply you, continuing to expose themselves for the reality that they are, they are child murdering um genocidal uh occupation force that has no mercy, no integrity and certainly no right to be there, we hear constantly about the burnt babies uh although we are
12:03 am
still waiting for any evidence to be produced, but especially on uh right-wing media, pro israel media, but uh, not the same kind of questioning as far as palestinian children are concerned, well the first thing that we know happens with with the israely um playbook is that they they create this hysteria with the with this false information, you know, women raped and 40 beheaded babies and then weeks later finding out today that they have rejected entire. this entire narrative and they're saying that actually only one child has died and no mentioning of beheadings, whereas palestinian a children, unfortunately they are the ones who are being mutilated to an extent that we can't even show, um, more than 4,500 of them, absolutely, um, well the the content here is is for graphic for us to show the audience, but what you would have seen um are medics.
12:04 am
uh, some of them volunteers, some of them professionals and the they have a bag of um pieces of of children that have been um pulled from under the rubble um uh literally pieces of hair um bodyping through all of that trying to identify who they are, they they know that there are three or four of children that it could be, and they are picking up the pieces of these of these children and the... saying oh could this be ahmed, could this be nora, and and they are trying to piece back together the bodies so that they can bury them in a dignified way, this this is the reality of the people of palestine, um, these are the people that we should be crying for, these are the people that we should be supporting, um, certainly not the narrative that the israelis want us to know, we all uh remember that, i think it was father, a man running into a hospital, holding the remains of his child in a bag.
12:05 am
um, and finally, um, lot of protests uh that of have been going on since the israeli wholesale onslot on gaza began, and more and more people are putting their fear aside of getting canceled or getting um arrested, taking to the streets because they know what the right thing is at this point, and lot of in people are taking that um narrative and they're putting it online and they're sharing. uh why all of us should be inspired to act? let's have look. you feel like you're watching the state of the world right now and losing your mind, good. world does it exist right now is somebody else is imaginings in entirety, specifically white genocidal media everything that we think about what is reasonable was made up by them. keep seeing being tagged in videos about people crying, breaking down, seeing that they're just ready to go insane or stay in insanity because they see the way to the world and they can't return to whatever normal was. good, let the grief burn you alone cuz that's what revolution is. revolution is to call for death. is to say i cannot continue such that.
12:06 am
i would rather die, more than that, what we pontificate about what it means to revolt around everything that we've ever known, because everything that we've ever known, every part about living in the core of the empire is about extraction from other parts of the world, we also have to think about world making, what is the world that we would rather live in, what's the world that come after this, it requires lot of radical creativity just as it requires radical action, if you feel like radical action, now you know what this lady is saying um very powerful and it speaks to me very deeply and i think it speaks to lot of the people online um who 'who would be watching this that actually the state of the world is not normal, you know, what we're seeing, um, the lives that we're having to live, see being able to kind of being forced to sit back and watch genocides, not only in palestine, but in the congo, you know, the things that have happened in the past, the present, and most likely will happen in the future, these things are not normal, seeing homelessness in the streets is not normal, um, and what she's she's taking, not only what's being spoken about in palestine, but she's actually using that as catalyst to wake the world up, she's saying that...' you know, it's it is
12:07 am
reasonable for us to question the reality that we have, and that this feeling that you're getting, let it wash over you and let of it be a catalyst for change, um, because this world is unjust. and there is only one solution and that is revolution. revolution. thank you. earlier we spoke to professor karry manji, he is pediatrician and neonaitologist at muhupli university of health and allied sciences, the largest hospital in tanzania. we asked him for his take on what's happening at alshafa and other hospitals in gaza, especially the aftermath the devastation. the post-traumatic stress disorder that was bound emerge. the post traumatic stress which will follow is multifled, if you think about the the doctors, sitting there helpless, franctically moving from one place to another, looking for
12:08 am
a possible solution, trying to use plastic bottles as nebulizers, trying to use clean just... clean iiv lines, not even sterile iv lines, and the post traumatic disorder for the doctors of not being able to do anything, the post traumatic disorder of the patients sitting next to another patient and seeing them dying in front of their eyes, the post traumatic disorder of the people out there of what's happening, the post traumatic disorder to us far away wanting to do something and you clearly can't do anything because you can't travel there, you can't send anything there and you are helplessly just listening to stories, so the post traumatic disorder is very wide, wide spread for all those who are
12:09 am
concerned and it's going to affect us and those out there, the doctors, the fraternity, the nurs. is the mothers, the first disorder is just another story. professor manji also addressed the differences in the challenges he faced practicing critical medicine in a developing country versus the realities of the situation under heavy bombardment. it's completely, completely different. here, it's a system, it is a policy system a long term. issues of developing countries and things, it is far far from what is happening in alchifa and other hospitals in gazza, even if we do not have a particular antibiotic or ventilator, but we will be at least using a
12:10 am
an alternative ventilator called the cpap or giving oxygen by nasum and the mother would be eating food and drinking water and not having the... the fear of a bullet striking her or the health worker, we are in a peaceful state, if mother doesn't have food, next door mother would be giving her food, water, drink, safety, security, there is no such problem, the problem in gaza, the problem in al shifa hospital is just unbelievable, so yes we we also have problems in our developing country of supplies, go into the villages in the rural areas and things, oh we don't have ventilator, we don't have a phototherapy machine, but all these things are bearable when you find that humanity exists, it is somebody to hold your shoulder, it's somebody to give you food and water, somebody to attend your child's
12:11 am
funeral, somebody to give the shroud and wash to your child, somebody to come and say sorry to you about your loss, the situation in ga and she als is just inhuman. you're watching gaza under attack. back with my guests, professor said gotta here in the studio with me and on skype, salliann burris, and uh, sallian, let me ask you this, uh, can you react to what we heard the israeli ambassador to the uk say earlier, we have seen the dehumanization of palestinians for a long time, uh, calling them human animals and all the rest of it, and now an expression of no sympathy for the palestinians. i i don't understand how human being can stand in front of another human being and show such lack of empathy and sympathy to want you to relate to what they've experienced and not understand what they're pushing out in the world. i it
12:12 am
it's one of those things you watch and it just doesn't seem real to you, because clearly she has no empathy, clearly she doesn't even want to understand what... being pushed towards the palestinian and how that damage will go on for generations, that lack the thought, the kindness, you know, from one human being to another, i didn't see any of... that and all i saw was just justification for acts of violence, i mean as a human being, i, i don't, you know, the uk government does, i, i'm british born, generations, always has been, i don't, the uk government does not represent me, and it does not represent my family, and it does not represent the people i work with, because everybody i talk to has the complete opposite opinion. than that ambassador had um and i it's just you say about it except for these
12:13 am
people i don't even know why she was allowed on the television i don't know yes um let's um continue this with um said and i want talk about israeli propaganda haspara that uh why do you think it's not working as effectively anymore despite the fact that the media by and large is on their side as the as the latter israel uh continues to commit genocide? you mean the media changed attitude towards the media has not, but why is the israely propaganda machine not able to effectively shift public opinion or keep it in line with its policies or what it's doing? to some extent, to some extent they... through the media and all that they are succeeding, relatively the people who are
12:14 am
opposing the war and the demonstration and all that, in my view, they are smaller than the the general or the total number of people or countries, and the evidence for that, if you remember the iraqi war, there were many many demonstration and the people against the... war, but despite that america and britain and other they did go and destroy iraq and all that. in my view, israel is has has been preparing everything since 1948 is to control the media, is to control the government, is to control the politician, is to control everything. this not, this is not an overnight job for israel, they are doing that, when i read... even in news they say that hammas blah blah blah attack blah blah
12:15 am
blah and they killed blah blah blah people but when they come to the palestinian they say the ministry of health which is controlled by hamas yeah announced to make you doubt that this heard it in in in most of the news in most of the newspaper this is the way they do it and and with respect, i don't think, okay, there is a shift now, but i still feel israel is is is is really controlling the media and the opinion to a great extent. well, to that i would say, professor, that 76% of britains who are asked a recent poll, early on, in this unjust war, call for an immediate. despite the fact that the uk's um pronounced position was not one
12:16 am
yeah um but let me put this other question to salian the aid situation in is simply beyond the pale in the gaza strip how would you assess things at this point? i think that um i can't imagine what families and professionals are experiencing while they're trying to support people through this complete bombardment. for me, everything that i've ever watched, all the friends that i have palestinian and their family members, there has been a systematic psychological bombardment that have gone on for decades, i've got friends who live in palestine who tell me stories about water supplies being allowed to get through, but then when they go to drink them, there's sot in that water, so understanding that you've got a huge environment that wants to support this. that takes it so far into that zone and then is not allowed to deliver that package to me is
12:17 am
just another bombardment of psychological abuse that must be stripping every single person within palestine of its hope um and their dreams i the the governance in the uk understands exactly what's going on i have been demonstrating for pallenstein for over 14 years in one way or another. in the uk, so this is not old news, we all know that there's a lack of resources, medicine, clothing, food, you know, we all know what's going on, i i think that we as people, the one thing that's come out of this is that over the last, i would say probably three to five years, there has been a disconnect of belief in leadership, and as in any war set in where there is and where leadership is letting the people down, people work together, now what i've seen in the uk in the
12:18 am
demonstrations that have been going on is it doesn't matter how old you are or your wealth or your religion. or your race, people are walking together to say no to this, you know, and eventually you want to hope that that is the hope that palestinian people are feeling, and that is the action that will push these governments to understand they can't do this anymore, you know, the people are speaking, they're working together, every generation, every person is walking together, and they can't do this anymore, so with regards to the the resources that are being stopped, think that we we as people need to start vocalizing that in any way we can, we've got demonstrations where weapons are stopped going in there, we need demonstrations where food are pushed at those borders and every asset, and we need to represent the global, not just the political voice, but the voice of of people generally, just to bring some
12:19 am
hope, you know, just to tell these people, we are waiting, we are waiting to give you seen that happen. in recent weeks, people taken to the streets around the world to tell the palestinians that they hear their voices. stay with me, both of you, if you will, because we're going to hear more from the united nations, the head of the un humanitarian affairs office in the occupied palestinian territory, opt, andrea de domenico said that fighting around al shah hospital intensified over the weekend, adding that the hospital's critical infrastructure was damaged, including water tanks, oxygen stations the cardiovascular facility in the maternity ward. three nurses were also reported killed. speaking to reporters on november 13th via video link from jerusalems, he said lives in gaza are hanging by a thread due to the depleting of fuel and medical supplies. lives in gaza are hanging by a
12:20 am
thread due to the pleating of fuel and medical supplies, we hear that patients are... dying and we have been reported few cases, also access to water and food has become the more and more difficult for those remaining, and we are trying to figure out better how many have remained behind, but is of course a little bit complicated given the inability of our teams to go in the north of the gaza strip. ocha teams have been observing the movement of 1000 of people to the south of following the calls by israeli forces to vacate the north, people. arrive by foot primarily, thirsty, exhausted and often with no concrete idea on where they would be staying. ngo are supporting, some local ngos have been supporting those arrives with the water and biscuit and give a little bit of assistance and try to provide them information where they could eventually uh reach a shelter, although the choices are
12:21 am
very limited. fahiima muhammad is back with the follow-up to her first offering of... important emphasize what we've just seen um keeping the theme going, yes, i think it is at el shifa hospital, which is beyond disastrous at the very moment, and even though there are, the clip will come on in a minute to show what's actually happening, they want to move them, but that is the main hospital, and there are other hospitals like alkuts who is out of service, we've got khan yunis, has also there's been continuous bombs even though it's in working. sort of like um sort of still sort of you know progres in that sense, but there's nothing really that can compare to where they are right now, and it's quite dangerous to move anyone there, and the video also will show that um even though the nasa hospital is functioning for now has also um you know not much left and even though um there was one mother that said
12:22 am
that she had to evacuate el chifa hospital leaving her son there because he was injured and if she stayed any longer. you know the bombing would have actually caught up with her as well, so we're not sure if her son is actually still alive or not, and even though there has been um offer from israel for 300 liters of um sort of fuel, they actually need at least 10,000 liters, yeah so look at the difference at what is being offered, and so even though they saying they're helping, at the end of the day it's just not necessary um for... what they are putting forward compared to what is actually needed, it can't be helping if you continue to drop bombs on them. um, what's been uk? well, we have here a press conference that was held british-based palestinians, which was reported by middle east, i uh showing uh how palestinian families have been treated since
12:23 am
october the 7th in gaza when they are actually killed or still stuck there, and we have a video coming up to sort of hear someone speaking about their family um having 40 members who were killed, and still reports as to how the treat. is not fair within palestinians that are british uh or even um the israelis who have been evacuated through military means but not the same for the palestinian british and by the way today david cameron has been appointed as the british foreign minister do you what he said in 2010 13 years ago he said gaza is an open air prison by the way maybe if the the shadow foreign minister this word today, he will be sacked by kir starmer, so 13 years ago he said gaza is an open air prison, will he say this again today, will he say the root of
12:24 am
this um problem in palestine did not start this last month, will he speak about the israeli blocade of gaza, this is something unacceptable, as as i say, every palestinian synagogue in london um to you, empathize with with the israelies. um, but i wonder if he has met with the palestinians. yeah, there is different rhetoric and narrative and story uh, and you know, when people say that, you know, especially in the representatives of israel calling palestinians human animals, we can see unfortunately that it's it's kind of filtered with the treatment and the interviews and the sort of you, lack of empathy, compassion, even when they are saying that their members have been killed, and straight away they ask to. condemn hamas instead of you know showing some sort of like support or just kind kindness to be fair we have time for one more story quickly yes we
12:25 am
are again echoing some of the jewish voices which i think again is so important which we're not getting in the mainstream but i'm finding them and i'm sending it over to us we have the chairman of the jewish network for palestine so this is an organization not just one voice like we hear it's an organization and this video will clearly um show and share what he thinks. the jewish network for palestine, and it's vital that people realize that many jewish individuals and organizations hate what's going on. it's not jew versus muslim, it's oppressors versus the oppressed, and it started in 1948 when israel was founded on violent theft, theft of palestinian land and life. hundreds of palestinian exactly and not hate of the kind the former home secretary, i wish this was you know wide spread and this was even you
12:26 am
know people that were actually in the protests, so when you know that kind of rhetoric is anti-jewish and you know spreading hate, we're not hearing the full story as sallian said and our professor sitting here, so you know hopefully people will understand that we need to see wider media coverage. hopefully, fahimma, thank you, we'll hear more. from you tomorrow, let's keep the ball rolling uh with my guests in the studio and on skype, starting with salliann, we're still um at the stage where all attempts a ceasfire have been blocked, um, you said earlier, you're amazed at how governments are allowing this to keep going on, what are they waiting for, more than 11,00 people already dead, lots of others um buried under rubble, injured people as we heard say it say earlier, your thoughts? there is something else going on, we hear a lot's around oil deals and there's lots of
12:27 am
things going on, speculation in the media about why is this happening, what's the intentions, is it just about settlement, is there something is there wider reasons for this, but i mean for me and everything that i've looked at in behavioral patterns, i think that there is a... is almost a halting of taking the appropriate response and i can't help but ask myself what is the real agenda? we know through history in other um atrocities, other things that have flared up seemingly from nowhere, that the end result of that has been around gas and oil and and corporate um corporate directives shall we say, and i can't help but feeling that there is a difference. liminal underground agenda going on here, because if you listen to the people, if you listen to to all of those who have common sense to academia, to legal
12:28 am
voices, it should be no, no, no, no, no, it should be, no, no, no, fascinating, thank you very much, that's a wrap for this segment, let me thank my guests, retired professor of biochemistry and currently a visiting professor at the university of derby, uk, sata and free speech and fair representation advocates, sally and boris, for sharing their thoughts with us. gaza, under attack, we'll be back tomorrow with more. until then, goodbye.
12:29 am
the us pushed one-sided mark of a ceasefire announced in northern gaza comes as a direct result of the failure of the israeli occupation army to achieve any significant battlefield accomplishments that could be used in negotiations. this suggests that the israeli regime may soon be forced to reconsider its objectives to align with the outcome of the battles on. on the ground where they seem to send in their soldiers and they never return. nevertheless, netanyahu and his cabinet are still unwilling to agree to a ceasefire before achieving success that would alleviate the accountability they expect to face at the end of the war in the aftermath of the heroic al-aqsa flot operation and the failure of the grand operation in gaza. displacement or death this week on the mediast stream.
12:30 am
your press tv headlines: israeli forces attack gazas alshufa hospital where thousands the injured people have been trapped. your's top diplomat urges. getting much needed humanitarian aid into gaza in his meetings, un officials in geneva. and us president joe biden is under intense fire from his own administration over his unconditional support for israel's genocide in gaza.
