tv   Gaza Under Attack  : PRESSTV  November 18, 2023 12:02am-12:31am IRST

12:02 am
and like you said, they're doing it in broad daylight, they're no longer ashamed um of or trying to hide what it is, they did it on the beach, they they you know bombed the fishery that we looked a few days ago and they put up a flag um of of now this is this is israel, we're going to bring back rushtif wow and now they're doing it with the hospital, what next? that's a very good question, what does where does your next story take us? well we look at the horrors of... of of this situation and we also look at the hope that palestinians still have in being able to look after themselves, look after their families and get through this phase of the occupation until liberation. let's have look at how they're doing it this time. the majority of the houses in ghaza strip uh has consumed all of its cooking gas. now we're coming up with creative ideas and solutions to cow up with this problem. this is called red mod, it's a special. mud used for mud ovens that does not
12:03 am
consume any gas, you simply burn the wood and tada, you have an oven, stay tuned, necessity is the mother of all inventions, yes and um of this this story really made me smile because you know what what we are about to go into um is seeing the palestinians being starved to death and um the fact that they are so... to remain in their land and fight for it and resisting existing in this case really is resisting um so the fact that they're going to soak this you know mud uh in water and then layer it top of bricks and create their ovens and you know chop down the wood that needs chopping down even if it means sacrificing you know that precious olive trees going into graveyards cemetaries to be able to find any sort of wood that they can use uh to burn to keep themselves and their families. alive, you know, it really, really
12:04 am
does speak to the the strength of the palestinian people, their resilience and their willingness to die on their land, no matter what it takes and their daily struggle to survive a time when only a trickle of aid is making its way into the ghaza strip compared to pre october 7th, and moving on, latif, more stories of people bearing the brunt of the israeli genocide in gaza? we know that the resistance. axis is you know working towards liberating palestine um but palestinians are not the only victims here uh we're about to watch a video of this incredible lady who really embodies the resistance spirit despite everything she has lost. let's have look. قضوا اول يوم كان of قاعدين بالجنه كانوا كان قاعدين بالجنه كل شوي يطلعوا شويه قصف يخافوا شوي ماما بيخوفوا قال لهم لا بعدين قول لهم. ليش بدنا نخاف نحن وين

12:08 am
wase of the orthodox jews in the usa earlier and asked him if all jews condone tel aviv's genocide in gaza. judaism is is a religion of... years to be subservient to god, not to kill, not to steal, and the rabbies, when the zionism came about 150 years ago, they they they they spoke to the world and every part the world, they said, this is not us, this is not our religion, they the people of the state, the state of israel and that time it was the zionist movement, they hijacking my name, they using a name of religion to serve god in order to ac occupy that it's totally false, we're not allowed to kill and steal, and especially people who are kind to us, who embraced us and gave us a home, throughout history, hundreds of years, the muslim people gave us a home, and to vilify them and to claim that they are the antis, all these
12:09 am
terrible accusations, it's false, now we're not condoning the the people that 1400 people were killed, so they claim that there's a terrible trage. it's a terrible tragedy, but this tragedy happened because they're occupying 75 years this death and suffering, so now they're busy looking for scape goats for people so they'll be busy to divert attention, they'll be busy talking about the hamas and the hizballah and this and that, well why the world should just step back and think, how come 75 years is this continuous death and there's never a resolution, it's clearly because prior to the state of israel, we lived in peace and harmony, jews and muslims, and what changed? one thing changed, designist occupation, and since then this bloodshed thousands and thousands and tens of thousands of muslims, arabs, palestinians and jews, and jews, that is purely because of the
12:10 am
occupation, it it insults the logic of the world, that if they can't, if they don't see this and the playing going lock step with designs, we pleed with the world, step back, and don't allow this anymore, it's just like apartide was unacceptable, and at the time everybody went along with it for tens of years with south africa, and then the grasswoots told just put pressure on people that they should come to their senses, so we plead with the world, it's nothing with judaism, judaism is opposed, judaism is diametric opposite of zinanism, judaism is religion, zinanism is nationalism, that's forbidden according to the torah, rabbi david also had praise for alternative news channels like press tv in changing perspectives and challenging the zin is propaganda when it comes to the occupation of palestine um alhamdulillah we can say thank god that
12:11 am
that's at least the one issue that came out the shock i think uh we've been trying for many years in press tv has been a loyal uh news out that was one from the few that was not intimidated by zionism and that really spoke about uh what jewish that jewish people are outpoken against zionism and they told differentiated between judaism and zionism so uh we really have the lord pr tv and iran in general but uh is there a a difference yes i think the shock of the 1400 oh it's not they say it's less already but whatever these terrible you know death the of so many people of jewish people and and the and everybody is watching daily the the horrendous killing of the people of gaza and the and and innocent people certainly the people in the hospitals, people in in in every place, you know that
12:12 am
that the the congregated that clearly children over 4,000 children, so the people are seeing this, and therefore they uh, they are starting to question. something with impunity that is what people call inhumane, we call ungodly. i think i'm refinding there is a tremendous change in in the sympathy of where the sympathy of the world is where it used to be to the zionist propaganda that the people were opposing them are anti-semitic and they're starting to understand that something is wrong here. rabbi was there. now back with my guests, father frank gally and via skype omar moffeed. are anything that you want to highlight, anything that stood out to you from uh rabbi wasis comments, if not i
12:13 am
can move to something else? mean the situation palestine doesn't need someone to have huge kind of interest in the history or or the religion, it's just a humanitarian and innocent - like you know story about people who are... living under occupational, colonial upertide system, and this system is being supported by the western colonial government, and you just need to be human to support these innocent people, these children, these people who have no, like you know they they don't have anything, so israel has destroyed their airports, their seaport, their vehicles, their buildings, their hospitals, schools, their hobes, their fathers, their mothers and israel has occupied their land in 1948, kick them out of
12:14 am
their land, like you know supported by the wastering countries, and now israel want to continue killing them and supporting them, so it's just very sad to see how we live in 2023 where everyone can see the news and to see the truth and doesn't stand with this innocent issue, and for us, we we always say palestinians will never forget, palestinian will return, because the israels were saying, the old people will be died about the palestinian, and the new generation will be forgetting their land, so we say the palestinian will um continue remembering their land and the the the ones who die, they they have new generation of people who have the same hope, so we we we we we hope that everyone will stand with this, these innocent people, because i don't imagine how someone
12:15 am
is not calling for a cease fire or stopping a war, which is clearly against the civilians and against the people of palestine. let me get your thoughts on this too, because you talked about you, you said why anyone watching the news is not would not be able to see the truth, perhaps it depends on where you get your news really, because what we have seen? both by the israelis as well as pro israel media trying to discount and cast doubt on the number of um casualties in gaza phrases like hamas run ministry of health and and the like. how does that make you feel that there are attempts out there trying to undermine the real casualty figures that are being announced by the hour by the health officials in gaza? i mean. this is not something new for us, so since balford declaration in 1917, since the nakba since
12:16 am
all the the united nations decisions to protect israel, and as you know israel is the only country as far as i know which have no borders, because it doesn't want to stay in one area, so israel is the only country which is recognized in the united nations which doesn't... have borders, because we have seen the israeli finance ministry, smartrished was, he was putting map of israel, which have part of um iraq, jordan, lebanon, and half of egypt in their future state, so what we are seeing now, a whole complicity, we have seen netanyahu, the prime minister of the uppertite state in the united nation in september 2023. raising map of palestine and he wrote the new middle east, he wrote on it
12:17 am
israel without having a space for gaza or the west bank and everyone was clapping to him, and now he's putting what he was planning to do, and this is so i mean regarding the media and the mainstream media, we we lost faith in the mainstream media, like you know ages ago, and i think the social media power now is showing that. people are relying on social media to get their information and they don't wait for the mainstream media to tell them what's happening all right let me bring a father gelly now. uh, we heard the jewish view from rabbi was there, what is the christian view of of it all? i love rabbi voice, i'm seeing it before in demos and card a great guy, god bless him, as far as a christian view, there is something called the world council of churches, which is a coalition of 350 different christian
12:18 am
churches, they've spoken out most strongly of the matter of palestine of gaza. "they asked not only for immediate six fire, but also that eventually there should be investigation on the crimes committed by the israel, so on in palestine, investigation which should result most likely in some kind of punishment, because we can't just allow these horrors to go unpunished and more we could allow you know the nazzi crimes of world war 2 to be gone punished there was a trial in neurenberg and they were indiced and many of them were actually sentenced to death, so there should be a trial for this crime, violation of all the laws, international law, human law, divine laws, all have been broken, and there should be retribution, and this is
12:19 am
asked by the world council of churches, not by some lunity little fringe, so a christian view is quite clear. now as far as my view is concerned, i am realistic. i know that right now, despite all talk of justice, international, israel does not give a damn, the government of israel does not give a dam about rights, humanitarian convention, everything else, and incidentally they're very clever, they're not members of international criminal court, however, i think i remember something like... russell tribunal, it was moral international tribunal set up by two philosophers, better russell and jean paul saar in france, and the tribunal held was organized to try the american leaders for crime in vietnam and later on also in palestine, and it's a
12:20 am
proposal mind and tried to lobby various people to set up again the russel tribunal. now then the next question is. is how do you enforce it? let's let's answer that question after this bit if that's okay um because we're going to take us to egypt and that country's foreign minister received his irish counterpart in cairo on wednesday where they discussed among other things the developing situation the gaza strip. irish foreign affairs minister and justice minister mihal martin said the situation in gaza was worsening in light of the humanitarian crisis. here is snippet of what he had to say. cause whether through displacement operations which are also a grave violation of international humanitarian law inside or outside the ghaza strip, and egypt's complete rejection of any kind of liquidation, whether at the expense of the palestinian cause or at the expense of neighboring countries is
12:21 am
completely unacceptable. conflicts, the european union, its members and other international community came with absolute clear and firm rulings and what they perceive to be violation of the rules of international law. in the case of gaza, we do not see the same amount of commitment and the same amount of clarity in describing what is happening in gaza and the description of the actions to which civilians are exposed. fahima muhammad is back with the follow-up to her first offering of palestine in. the media, fahimma, keeping the theme going, starting with talk tv, getting their news from some shady journalist in in israel. yeah, we have talk tv here with a video um sort of uh highlighting what the journalists is talking about, having trying to prove and have evidence of hamas operating in the hospitals and he has been questioned about that, but he does admit that it hasn't actually been
12:22 am
verified by the un or the united states, so we'll see that video coming up now and here what he has. to say about what's going on with the hospitals at the moment, because that is what a lot of international focus is on, hamas maintaining that uh they aren't in bunkers underneath the hospitals, but the israelis uh saying yes, that's why we're targeting uh those operations, obviously there's a lot of international concern that this is focused on hospitals and fuel running out, mean where do you see this heading from here your tam? look, israel is not going to leave the hospitals alone uh. because it says it has evidence that hamaz is hiding underneath the hospitals, it's just matter of time before they will eventually take over these hospitals and fighting will break out underground, but again we hear these conflicting reports constantly and it's of course extremely difficult to not be there and to not be able to verify any of these
12:23 am
things. what i do think is that israel is waiting for the united nations well what you were saying earlier about not being able to be there the idf are very very controlling as even for the press and media as to who go is in and what information is being set out and they sort of you know uh take control over all of that so that's the other reason why there isn't any evidence of anything that is coming out uh from one thing they show was a grab bag of weapons behind a mri machine if they're underground then what they doing on the top table exactly very funny story take us to france and what's happening there oh this is very interesting uh post here from news globe official where we have french senators 16 of them proposing a bill to uh sort of like um declare and outlaw and criminalize and one is anti-zionist right, making it a criminal offense. now according to complate anti-zionism and anti-semitism, that's what you get, yeah, and according to
12:24 am
the bill, imprisonment or fine will be imposed um to protect against israels in france, and the questioning the israeli's right to exist may also lead to a one-year prison sentence or and a 4 and a half thous euro fine, um, disparaging israel, meaning that you you even criticize israel, you could actually end up with two-year prison sentence or 75,000 euro fine, and inciting hate or violence against israel could end up with five year prison sentence or a 100,000 euro fine, all of that uh happening in uh self described democracy right, a crack down on civil liberties or freedom of expression, well protecting israel if anything in the most way possible, what's been happening in the arab world? comes from there, well we have channel 4 news with the jordanian foreign minister and his video and let's hear what he has to say and we'll talk about that very soon as wells every ephical humanitarian and legal line in this war, the arab summit,
12:25 am
arab muslim summit, it was a joint session by by the organization of islamic conf islamic organization and the arab league came together in saying this war must stop internationalist community much hold its responsibility and act together to stop this war. uh, yes, we did not rise to the expectations of the people, not because we did not want to, but because what are you going to do in the face of this ruthless war that israel is launching, at least he admitted that they did not rise to the uh to the uh emergency meeting with no teeth, exactly, they did not rise to the expectation the people to sanction israel, which they had the opportunity, so even talking about it being you know uh crossing the lines and not being ethical and legal when they had some sort of power to take some sort of action and lead the way they did not. not even starting as you say, something like the bds movement, the boy devestment and nothing was done.
12:26 am
nothing was done. well, thank you very much. fahim muhammad, well hear more from you tomorrow, i'm sure. now we're going to keep the ball rolling. i think uh, i'm told we lost amar mofied, but we thank you very much for his time, but let's um continue. the conversation with father gelly here in the studio with me, you were talking about enforcing a tribunal, i as far as i remember, i want to give you a chance to to finish what you were saying earlier, um, the russell tribunal, is moral tribunal, it is the voice of ethics, the voice of the voiceless and it could be a contribution to exposing the crimes of violations of human rights and violation of material law which the israelis are shamefully perpetrating. now the the word enforcement is the word force. now force is
12:27 am
more force is all very well, i'm all in favor of that, but the necessity of that, but mean what about we just heard, mean what about the arab states? what about many islamic countries? how many islamic countries are there? the quite a few, turkey has got a huge army in the middle east, they're doing them making noises, some of them ries, but nobody's actually doing anything, why not, why not i suspect that courdis, gatlessness is uh, we're afraid or what the consequences because of america, the science lobby is very strong, just uh heard on lineway, famous chinese dissident artist, was opening an exhibition in london, he's been canceled,
12:28 am
because of a statement he made on on gaza and palestine, yeah, and he made some interesting comments of the power of the proisrael lobby in the united states, which is the like of apek for example, the likes of apech, can i get another squeeze one last question in here? israel has revelled in in victimhood was one of the pillars of his foreign policy, where is that now? well, the um image which have is opposite is some? rapist who is raping in a victim and is saying i'm defending myself against you, i'm the victim, no, the victim is the person is being raped, and the victims here are the two million of inhabitants of gaza with deprived of food, water, life in many cases and medical facilities. the victims are the palestinians, the perpetary oppressers are the israeli army and so on, so it's quite clear where we are.
12:29 am
now the situation is inversed, the israelis are not the victims, they are those who are perpetrating the crimes against the real vicking the palestinians and with those comments we come to the end of the show, let me thank my guests, father frank geley and omar moffeid, once again, gaza under attack, we'll be back tomorrow with more, until then continue to keep palestine in your hearts, goodbye.
12:30 am
the headlines on press tv israel kills scores of displaced people taking shelter in a school in gaza as the regime continues striking the... each territory for the 42nd consecutive day. lebanon's resistance movement hezbollah has launched fresh attacks on israel where israely targets in retaliation for the regime's atrocities against palestinians in gaza. and more people around the world right to show solidarity with palestinians and condemn israel's genocide in gaza as the regime's propaganda war proves to be ineffective.
