11:32 am
of this is gaza under attack, coming to you from the british capital. i'm said pureza with you for some of the biggest talking points coming of out of the region. surrounded and under attack by israeli forces, dozens of premature babies in gaza's largest hospital have been given few more hours to live. they've been transferred from the nurseyward of alsafah hospital to an area where there is still electricity, but medical staff say the...
11:33 am
survival is still under threat. it comes as people trapped inside the facility are planning to start burying the dead as bodies pile up inside and out. the who has described the hospital as in nearly cemetery. al shaffa hospital must be protected as fighting rages close to the facility. the uk has called for a humanitarian pause. again, no talk of a ceasfire. hamas officials say israel is stalling a deal to release cap. held in gaza in exchange for five-day truce, and seven palestinians are killed, as israeli troops carry out more raids in the occupied west bank. and joining me to unpack all of that, said goda, a retired professor of biochemistry and currently a visiting professor at the university of derby, uk, and via skype, sallian boris, a director and chair in many non-profit organizations. so anne, advocates. for free speech and fair
11:34 am
representation. thank you both for being here. let me start with you say it. um, it is now the second month of the israeli bombardment. let's start things off with your reflections on the sheer death doll and then the bombardment and everything that we have seen over the past few weeks. right, we have a saying in arabic they say, which means. river is safe from punishment misbehaves and this is exactly what israel is doing or has been doing since 1948, they have never been held accountable to anything, and as the saying, if you really are sure not to be punished, you can do anything, and the
11:35 am
problem, the second thing is is the support from the weson wallet, as we know it, and the the weakness on the arab side as well. it's the two things together which really making israel, no one, no one can ever think that a country that powerful like israel can do what they have been doing in gaza, without actually knowing that these people are protected, and nobody will do anything for against them, look at the the visit of every western wall it going to. to israel to assure them at the beginning as they don't know what will happen and that's why to be quite honest i'm not surprised of what they are do what they have been doing and they have been doing this for a long time it's it's no surprise of
11:36 am
what they have been doing in gaza now they have been doing it since 1948 and they attacked gaza and they killed many many. in 2014, we shouldn't forget, and this is without hamas going to the action like october 7th and all that, and really is no surprise of the killing, no surprise of the attack, and the western world they know in advance, they knew in advance what, what's what what has been happening and what is happening really, and as you can see even in the arab league, yeah, 57 muslim and arab countries, they gather together, and they could not say a word against israel, let me put that to salian, so salian, how do you see it, is is the reason behind the kind of
11:37 am
action that we see israel commit against the palestinians, rooted in um, support from nato nations, chiefly the united states, as well as an impotent arab leadership um in the region. when you don't say anything, everything is being said, and unfortunately the voices of people in the countries that should have the power to say no to this and should make decisions to stand up and prevent it, i'm not doing anything, and you have to ask yourself what is going on, why are they not taking the words of their people, because on the ground you've got mass demonstrations in many many countries, so the the voice. is the people are saying no, but governance is not supporting that, and and i think that the lack of accountability in leadership is one the strongest reasons for this, and i, i think the people now are, you push people to a certain level and free will steps in, and i
11:38 am
think what we're seeing now, we've had a systematic stripping of choices from human beings, both through the covid management system and now through this, the... that are running in in many forms of leadership, this fights in america over leadership, this fights in the uk over leadership and in other countries, and without that accountability the people are now saying no, and i think we need to ask ourselves who's ruling, was you know, and enabling comes from not doing anything, what can we say? um, and said, let's talk about the humanitarian situation. there, i mean, they all talk about the fact that humanitarian aid should be going into gaza, as we know, it's been very limited, um, what, what are your thoughts on that? again, there is no surprise, the situationing as the food wise, water wise, israel announced
11:39 am
before going to gaza for war that they will cut electricity and water and gas and all that, they we know in advance this and and they made sure the entrance to that with egypt is close, they agreed somehow, they didn't allow, they even egypt put many lors waiting for food, yeah, and they they actually did not allow egypt to get this food inside, despite the fact everybody knows how urgent this is for the people inside. together, and the i must say, there is no logic in that, the whole world is blaffing us, is it cheating us and top of this is it cheating palestinian people? we now talk about this and that as it is a surprise, it
11:40 am
is not, we know how powerful israel is, and we know how crowded gaza is and how small gaza is. and when you use such power, yeah, of israel, again in such a small place, even anyone with. with an anti-brain can predict what will happen, and we see it with our eyes right now, and that's why unless the world wake up, and i'm not quite sure they will, unless the conscious of the western countries they wake up, the crisis will continue, well we'll see even when that will happen, of course we've seen millions taking to the streets calling for a ceasfire, at least as far as people are concerned, there is lot of... awareness there, but um, sally and let ask you this last one and briefly if you can,
11:41 am
what does it say that the death doll has topped 11,000? mean, i speak to people every day around these issues and what they visually see, and lots of people are taken to social media to actually seek truth now instead of mainstream media, lot of people are saying that it's almost like watching the nazi regime play. out live a screen and that each death is an abomination against humanity. i don't know how governance is allowing this to continue without stepping in. it goes against everything that's human within us. we've got situation where people are raising funds, raising resources to be able to send for help, and we've got a gateway right around that country where there's prevention, and and you have to ask yourself, this is just the worst. kind of um, it's almost like your worst public nightmare
11:42 am
that you can watch and do nothing about, and people are just saying no, they're just starting to say no with a strong voice, one the things i've noticed is that mainstream media is not correctly publishing the truth, it's not allowing the full view of the demonstrations from the ground up to be seen by people that matter, exactly, and it's just an abomination, i mean there's nothing more we can really talk about. but it's got to stop and bomba nation indeed um sorry for energy acting there um you you mentioned um governments nato states and other israel friendly countries allowing this to go on let's bring you the latest on the uk government's position on all of this the uk has been one of the countries at the beating heart of this genocide against the palestinians not only has britain held a starring role in the israel pr declaration and its blind allegiance to the foreign policy of the united states, it has also
11:43 am
attempted to stifle any criticism of tel aviv in the uk. in his first public speech since the recent conservative party reshuffle, prime minister rishi sunak has spoken on the deteriorating conditions for the civilians in the war zone. but there are many things that israel must do as part of its response. we've been clear that they must. act within international law, they must take all measures to protect innocent civilians, including at hospitals, stop extremist violence in the west bank, and allow more aid into gaza. mahmoud abbas, the president of the palestinian authority described to me the terrible suffering of the palestinian people. too many civilians are losing their lives. that's why i've doubled our aid to gaza. and why we continue to press, both at the united nations and directly with israel, for
11:44 am
unhindered humanitarian access and urgent and substantive humanitarian pauses. we want aid coming in by land, air and sea, and we're ready to use our bases in cyprus as a staging post. alleviating the suffering is our most foremost priority, but we need to do more to create new. political horizon, we must unite around the only answer that can come close to creating peace in these troubled lands, the only answer that can acknowledge the history and hurt of both peoples, the only answer that can allow new future to be born, and that is two-state solution. so say we we've gone from the political establishment in the uk that israel has the right to self-defense, essentially giving it a card blanch to carpet
11:45 am
bomb gaza, to not a call for seaspire, but this what did you make of it? you see first, i just would like to say that britain especially has a great moral, ethical responsibility towards the palestinian people, and i would like to tell very smallest story as scientist, as briefly as you can, as scientist, and in the first world war, the acetone, you everybody knows acetone, the latest is not acetone, was very essential of making smokeless gun powder used in the war, and the britain used to to produce it from substant called calcium acetate, and that calcium acetate they used to import it from germany, all right, and obviously they were in in a war with the german, therefore they cannot get it, but
11:46 am
aseton is essential, and britain issue a request to scientists. to find a cheap fast way to produce acetone domestically, and at that time there is a good scientist, jewish scientist, vs man, he discovered a strain bacteria called clustridian, which can grow on starch, when he met belford at that time, and bulford asked him, what do you want in return? and obviously white man, he was great scientist by the way, yeah, asked him, we want the palestine as a homeland, and here the started the bulfor declaration because of that acetone thing, therefore uk is totally responsible about the misery of palestinian,
11:47 am
and mr. sunek, where was where was he at? beginning of the war, was it a surprise to him that if if israel is going to attack ghaza, such number, mean we talk about 11, i really would like to add, 11 is very low number, yeah because it doesn't take into the account the bodies under the buildings, it doesn't take the account the injury, yeah, i'll give you something i have here, in the war of 2014. yeah, israel killed the 2, 2,251 palestinian, yeah, obviously 5-51 children, 299 women killed, yeah, but this is this is the number, but why i'm saying that, overall 11,231 palestinians were injured during that
11:48 am
war, and israel did not use even one person. cent of power yeah they have been using right now and just imagine if that number with injured therefore the 11 th00 is a low number number people may have been severely injured might lose their lives moving forward may not recover from the disability or with the disability forever uh let me ask salliann i think the same question the moral responsibility that the uk has uh in all of this. yet they are again falling short of calling for sease far and end to the hostilities. as an observer to behaviors, my qualifications show me that the best form of truth is to watch behaviors. my questions are, why do you wait two months to step up and make these sounds when we've got schools,
11:49 am
hospitals, you know, the in world war two, there was a term called the... killing centers, they were environments where people were at the most vulnerable were were murdered, were killed, we've got direct hits on schools, hospitals, the most vulnerable positions, gettos that have been created from long-term abuse, and you've got a uk government that's taken two months to respond in an appropriate way, these words should have happened right at the beginning, so is this purpose? step by step, because the amount of bombardment that gaza has suffered, the palestine has suffered, if this is the steps that the uk government are going to take, there will be nothing left to salvage in another two months if this continues and as a uk revert, you know, what we are seeing is that people in the uk generally are saying
11:50 am
no to this, and it has to stop, this government needs to have accountability attached to it, it's to end, it needs to end, um, sayid, you've seen the reshuffle over the past couple of days in the uk government, the conservative party, and the surprise return of david cameron, former prime minister, david cameron feels like 2016 politics and this is a man who in uh turkey uh said at one point, i think it was in 2010, if not later, that uh, the situation in gaza cannot go on. as is it is veritably an open air prison to today when he has announced sanctions against hamas and and other measures that will he will be taking on behalf of the uk government expand. that i don't think much will change because politician are following policy of a country is not individual. if you see mr.
11:51 am
sanak as example, he came to power only short time ago, and you look at the stand is taking against the palestinian, not even callings, not even calling for a sice fire, you may call for something, it may happen, may not, yeah, but not even call. for this fire and that's why i am not optimistic because it's not individuals, it is the policy of the united kingdom, look at the leader of the opposite opposition, same, yeah, it's the same thing, look at the members of the parliament, most of them, same thing, yeah, look at the jermy corban, when he tried to do something in favor of palestinian, look what happened to him, and that's why people can talk outside. the power can say whatever, but when they come to power, they follow policy the country, they follow policy of the lobby, the full policy of the powerful, is not is
11:52 am
not individuals and also the policies that are made across the pond in the united states. all right, life coach and media personality fahim muhammad is with us for the first installment of palestine in the media and fahim, what has the israeli ambassador to the? been up to starting up with that, well here we have um some of the mainstream media like channel 4 reporting very differently to the very beginning of when we first started and uh the questions from some of the interviewers now are slightly more um sort of like dicerning to sort of questioning and countering and challenging, so we do have the israeli ambassador to the uk having difficulty uh to be clear about having any empathy towards the palestinians and it's repeatedly asked to her. so that question, yeah, we will see that video coming up soon uh where we will hear her responses to uh channel 4 empathy to people that time after
11:53 am
time refuse to to recognize the right of the jewish state to their home and jewish people in their homeland, i have zero sympathy because i want to to live in a world where we can live together, but they deny no zero empathy in your own words with those people, no it's not what i said, i have zero sympathy. to the fact that they lost their land, they didn't lost their land, they committed the crime of attacking the small, the small state of israel, after the un decision, do you have any empathy with the palestian people? absolutely, i think the i think my empathy to the palestinian people that we could have had a flourishing region attacking nuclear armed israel that is one of the most powerful militaries on the planet, well she goes on because she's talking about the entitlement of jews and how uh the narrative and the story is that you they are seen to be uh eradicated, so that's why they are again in a sort of different way of self-defense in this actual way, so she's not really having the empathy, it's again blaming
11:54 am
hamass for the way they are and the palestinians for being who they are, and she understand does not represent all the jews around, oh absolutely not, and the next video will say that clearly, and there's quite a few that will speak uh on you, on behalf of you, palestine as you know non-muslim non you know sort of like non-faith even, but we do have a video um from george gallaway showing katie helper who is an american jewish, and her video will actually say quite a lot as well, which she speaks on quite a few people, not just herself on this matter uh with regards to i am here because i want to make it clear that um nato, the united states and israel do not represent me as an american and as a jew. um israel likes to claim that it makes jews safer and as a jew i want to say that israel does not make me safe, israel makes me sick and israel makes me less safe
11:55 am
because they are committing crimes against humanity in the name of jews, luckily they don't actually speak for jews, but of course they claim to, um, and jews who speak out against israel's crimes are the jews who make me feel not only in good moral company, but also who make me feel safer. um so uh the horrific images speaking and absolutely, but again we're not seeing this on the mainstream, it's across a digital platform, so that's why we have this here and they are being still very careful in the mainstream propaganda, but it's important to sort of you know open up your horizons when it comes to listening to news, as we have news globe official next and this is very interesting um sort of piece talking on um benjamin netanyahu's state of mind, well yeah psychiatrist has been... treating benjamin netanyahu for the nice last nine years and um he unfortunately was found dead in his home in tel avive in 2010 with an apparent
11:56 am
self-inflicted gun wound but that has not been verified, however he has actually had um sort of like prior writings to say and talk about netanyahu's state of mind, which was very alarming, yeah, well certain things was like explaining how netanyahu was with his patient right, and basically um, he's kind of thought, netanyahu thought robbery is redemption, aparthide is freedom, peace activists are terrorists, murder is self. events and like piracy is legality, so there's a lot of um contradictions, no went to it, which actually led to the psychiatrist, you know, being very, very depressed over the years, treating netanyahu and had sort of like you, no sort of progress, which led to more and more depression and eventually to his death as well, so it just kind of going to, yeah, going into the psychey of benjamin netanyahu again is extremely alarming, and think it's a
11:57 am
very interesting piece which we are not talking about, and not just him, but number of other people in his cabinet, it filters with that uh head of state definitely. all right, fahim muhammed, thank you, we'll hear more from you later on. for weeks now, israel's hazbara propaganda has been mired in clear fallacies and paradoxes. tel aviv is levied that the international community didn't take its denial of the... mass casualties of gods and civilians at face value, it's also outraged by the lack of acceptance of its narrative of what happened after october 7th and is doing all it can to reverse that. latifa abu has been looking at that and joins me now lativa how israel has been falsifying information. well we know that it's not new. you know the the narrative that israel plays that they are the victim and that they are the ones defending themselves from these you know mastermind.
11:58 am
terrorist al-qaeda, isis, hamas, um, etc. um, i mean, this is just another um element of the lies that they have tried to spread. let's have look. i want to show you something exclusive. laura, so this is adolph hitler's book, translated to arabic, mine kamf. it's the book that led to the holocaust and the book that led to world war ii. on one of the on the body of one of the uh terrorists and murderers of... and he even marked, he wrote notes, he marked, he marked and and learned and learned again and again adol of hitler's ideology of hating the jews, of killing the jews, of burning the jews, of slaughtering the jews, this is the real warrior ac, so all those who demonstrated yesterday, i'm not saying that all of them support hitler, but all i'm saying is by by omitting to understand what khamas ideology is all about,
11:59 am
the... basically supporting this ideology, seriously wonder if amazon delivers there, um, it's so so kind of the hamas operative to conveniently leave the book on his person, you know while he's fleeing for his life, the one thing that he he remembered to do was to pick up this book, that makes him very um complicit in this hate doing narrative, um hate jew hating jewish narrative, pardon me, it's it's really really. lauble at this stage you know the extent to which the zionist entity is going to frame um any palestinian resistance as being something that is terrorism that is being uh motivated by anti-semitism um you know we looked at earlier on uh with with yet another manual that apparently they found with the al-qaeda um isis hamas um logo and branding conveniently left on it it's you know if "i
12:00 pm
don't know what they're trying to do at the stage, but people are seeing past this, and they're actually laughing at the zionists, because this this is not going to work anymore, losing all credibility, and an unnamed us official was cited by cnn in the past few days, as saying in a diplomatic cable, that we're losing badly on the messaging battle space, which is why they're resorting to such, we know that they've spent since and this was in the first week literally of of the seventh of october - resistance against the occupation, we know that they spent millions in um in campaigning on adverts in in britain alone, let alone you know in europe and america, so it's it's definitely something that they understand they need to invest in, but um the length to which they're going to at this stage is just it really is comedy and you know we every time i turn on the news and i and i hear a israely spokesperson, i just want to grab a bit - a bit of popcorn.
