bit of silence you know from the drones and from the the knowing that he was about to get bombed and it's just brought he's reinvigorated him um but also what we know about this during this four-day truth that even in ghazations of it violations of this truce are happening or this humanitarian porese this man was stripped and um there have been people who have you know or just covered him up for his decency but he was stripped and he was shot and left to bleed for hours. 'and this was in gazza in front of mind games with them, they play mind games uh you know his community members, some of his community members were told to go and collect him while the sniper was there shooting at those who tried, so they playing and they release children and women, but they tell them you're not allowed to celebrate, you know it's it's this narrative that is just giving keeping them in constant fear, not letting them celebrate any moment, we saw unfortunately the death um of people not just in gazza during this truce, but also in the

west bank, they are unrelenting, they do not let any palestinian people um, have a chance at you, like you said, um, collecting themselves and taking stock of of what has happened around them, this man is is um was crying at the loss of his child, and this woman has just been, just look at how young that kid is, you know, according to save the children, the children's rights organization, of the main alleged crime for these detentions is stone throwing, which can carry sentence of 20 years for palestinian children in israeli jail, so that that clip of that young girl, um, four years old, five years old, maybe, how is she, how the the youngest person regarding your statistic to have been convicted of stone throwing an israeli court is three years old, wow, um, they can barely speak at that age, and and they hold these courts in hebrew, um, you know, and they'...

don't give these children any representation, they get to sign stuff in hebrew that they don't understand, but later on used against them in a kangaroo court, assuming, moving to your to your next story, um, regardless of the bombings and the destruction of the buildings and the murder of 15,00 palestinians, that spirit is still alive of of protecting their land of staying put and holding their congregational prayers, um, in the streets or it could be bombed out building or a mask. let's have look. the sheik here is saying today, we will pray in this mask, no matter what they do to it, and it's true, we need to remember that this question about the palestinian resistance.

this question that is um being asked over and over again on social media all around the world, people that they don't they don't know what to attribute it to, brothers and sisters, this this is their faith in god, faith in his promise, faith in justice, um, and this is reflected in the fact that they refuse to leave their masks, they no matter what, happens to the infrastructure, to the building, to the minarets, that's not what this place means to them, it is the earth, it is the land that belongs to them that they will always return to, no matter how badly it is damaged, they will pray there, this brought me so much pride, i felt so much pride in my in my people, the palestinians who who will not be um who will not be dictated to, who will not be pushed and bullied out of their places of worship, and um as all of that is happening um that blow before could that could potentially be a storm, how young? children and their mothers

are faring in the gatha strip, what, what can you say other than they are doing their best, as as you, as you would expect of mothers with children, let's have look at such an example, these mothers are is the stuff of movies, just look at the background, the the hellscape kind of background, and still... those two mothers sitting there holding their babies and trying to do what mothers do, which is um, looking after them, as if nothing had happened. i feel like the two things are just opposing each other, it it doesn't fit, you know these two mothers with their children, it doesn't make sense for them to be here, this is not their place, their place, as you mentioned before, should be you know in their homes in the park, schools, playing with their people. not

sitting on the rubble under which there could still be bodies that we will see recover later on, absolutely, what what this video says to me? as a palestinian and and as someone you know watching um from a far the genocide that is going on is that the palestinian people are strong and that liberation requires sacrifice and they are willing sacrifice and it is our duty um outside of ghaza um with the rest of the world is to honor their sacrifice by making sure to speak about it in our spaces to share these kind of videos in our um on our social media platforms but also to stand up for it in um uh to stand up for the cause of the palestinians and use the right language in our professional spaces as well in in our personal spacess and to keep awareness of how things got to this uh this place. thank you very much latifa and latifa will be back with

more next time. the sounds of bombs may have stopped for now in gaza, but the suffering of the children there isn't ending anyt. time soon, earlier we spoke to holistic transformational coach based in sheffield, the uk and asked her about the mental health status of palestinian children. i work with people with deep rooted trauma and neglect and shame and emotional suffering. i'm not here to downplay anything in our situation or in the west, but the gaza situation is a whole different ball game. these are generations of people um that are living under oppression. crimes, parents and children alike. these are children living in besegement and in restriction in every conceivable way, and there are a lot of reports that have come out previously, psychologists saying that children in gaza are facing a mental health crisis on an ongoing basis, it's an epidemic, and

considering that half of the children in gaza are going through serious suicidal attempts and even constant thoughts of wanting to die. we're talking nine out of 10 children who suffer from... etsd and that's like 91% of children in gaza that are going through suicidal thoughts, according to reports, that's back in may 2022, we can't even begin to imagine the current situation that they're going through now, if they are still live, because there are no professionals allowed in there to to check in on them, um, i mean they don't even have sufficient basic human needs, supplies to food and water to the extent that they need, who can even think about their mental health at this time. it is unspeakable in this day and age that in 2023 uh this is not only going on but televised live on our screens and there are powers that be that endorse it not only endorse it uh but call anybody who's against talking about these

kind of things as an anti-semite so i think that world has gone mad um and we need to we need to have these discussions and it is said that there is no such thing as ptsd in palestine, especially in gaza, because there is no post, it's a constant, current enduring trauma that they are going through, i've seen previous reports of kids in gaza that are ripping their hair out, that are scratching their thighs and body parts until they bleed, um, they are shutting down, in many cases, but they don't have the time to enable themselves to get to safety where they can start to think about this and start to work on themselves to point where they're feeling. any better than what what they have been all their lives. usma insisted that while the situation is so horrific in palestine, shielding ourselves from witnessing what's going on, is an entitlement we cannot afford at this time. i've seen some people trying to

save themselves from the discomfort of having to watch and witness a literal genocide taking place, and the first thing i want to say is how very privileged are we even have this. option and secondly, as harsh as it may sound, we need to stop being so very entitled about the fact that we can switch off a screen, and you know, this very, the very least we can do is bear witness to what's happening, we must learn, we must educate ourselves, we must educate our children, we must educate our communities, we must have these conversations on an ongoing basis until things change around, and i'm not saying that don't take care of yourself, you know, i have de my life to supporting people with mental health issues, but there are some things that we cannot turn a blind eye uh from, this is one of them and i i really advocate for everyone to to be doing their part, we will recover inshallah, we have lot of means around us, we will still go to bed in our

safety and in our comfort and in a warm comfortable house and fridge full of food and everything else that yes we're going to feel overwhelmed and we're supposed to feel overwhelmed um if we don't uh, you know, if we don't live up to the saying of prophet muhammad that the entire umah is one body and if a part of your body starts to hurt the entire umah, the entire body is supposed to be hurting. then we've lost the point and this is the this is the pivotal point where we actually uh show that to be a reality in our lives, of course this is going to take a tollen us, but it's meant to take a tollen us, we are meant to feel heavy, we are meant to feel whatever we are feeling. my guests, bushra sheikh and jafar ramini have stayed with us since the start of the segment. thank you very much to both of you, let me start, continue this segment with jaf. and my question to you, what, you said you were disappointment, disappointed rather in in the

way arab leaders have reacted or responded uh to this latest flar up, how would you have expected them to act in in stopping it from happening or bringing it to an end, asap? from long long and bitter experience, i did not expect anything from them other than what the... doing, they're all cards and collaborators, if you remember mr. trump, would have thought that i jaafar ramini will coat mr. trump, when when he said that without us, these people will not last two weeks in power, and that is the basic thing, these people are in power to serve the interest of the united states of america, we do not come into the equation. if the arab world with all the resources we have, with

all the human resources, and natural resources and the position we occupy in the world, cannot do anything to help the palestinians, cannot do anything to save, the third holiest shrine islam, what is their use? they're just numbers, doesn't matter, the palestinians can cope, and we have been coping, the thing we don't want is our so-called brothers to stab us in the back, and they are doing it all the time, the united states of america says run and they run, the united states of america keeps supplying arms to israel and will supply more if needed, and "we do nothing about it, we just sit on the peripheries and watch why the

palestinians are being killed, murdered, imprisoned, homes demolished, look at gaza, what does it mean to have four days pause, those released prisoners, where are going, what are they going back to? israel did not allow the palestinians in the westbank to celebrate. the release of their brothers and sons, they're not allowed, so what is this? it's a false, and israel is known, especially in the west bank, to release the palestinian on friday and arres them on monday, that's it, it's a game, and it's a game that we are paying for with our blood, yeah, they they have released, they have released 117 palestinians, but have. 116 um palestinians in in the west bank, that speaks to what you,

you just said, let's talk about this, the online campaigns, to win hearts and minds, one of the places that it's been going on is twitter, and elon musk is now in israel, and this is a person who tells everybody about neutrality. but next thing we know he's a plane going to israel and visiting uh the areas that came under attack by hamas on october 7th, what does that tell us about the relationship between these big tech, big social media platforms and the israeli regime? i mean firstly i'd like to start by saying that i actually commented on something on twitter and i said it was surprising to me that such a influential undum powerful wealthy man is still. by a state, ultimately it's about the big bosses and what they what they want, and you're not able to have this

freedom of movement or freedom of choice, unless you go through the individuals that control most of what's going on. i've always maintained, said that you know we have all the wrong people in the right places and talking about the online war and and adding to the fact that we have this uma that doesn't exist, it's actually embarrassing for me to see muslim leaders not come together and not support the palestinian cause, it's so embarrassing and it's disheartening because we do really need that, and at the moment the information wars that we're finding on social media is about truth versus lies, that that's what happen, how black and white it is, that's how black and white it is, and we're seeing a bunch of propaganda, lies being told left, right and center, and we're having to use the power of social media and the people to debunk this one by one, and i'm telling you, if this was 15, 20 years ago, it would be a completely different story, people would be taking in the lies and

not realizing that this is actually what's going on in gaza, and as a result of people out there debunking these lies, the public opinion has shifted in favor of the palestinians despite the israeli socall hasbara, their propaganda machine spewing these lies out. 24/7. thank you for that bushra, um, let's have look at this other story that ties in well with the rest of the show. the temporary pause is allowing gozins to take stock of what has happened over the past 50 days, but more importantly search for missing loved ones in a scene that... will be repeated across the gaza strip, ali mehti returned to his home in the shati refugee camp over the weekend to search for his father and nephew with whom he had lost contact, when he finally located his lost relatives, the outcome was tragic. my father and my nephew were murted 14 days ago, 14

days ago they were lying in front of the door the house, and my brothers were wounded, and there are marters here, our neighbor. and there are strangers, marters that we do not know, i after suffering for two days, and when the truce came, today with the help of young man, i was able to move my father's body and bury him inside my house, there is no ambulance, there is no red cross, there is no communication network, whether mobile or national, there is no lighting, there's no water, our lives have turned into hell. with grave and buried my father and my little my own hands, me and my little brother dug a nephew, sorry to walk in that man's shoes, that's for sure, fahim muhammad is back with the follow-up to her first offering of palestinian the media and faham, in this segment, despite the genicide in gaza, you

can still get arrested here in the uk for merely criticizing israel, yes, there's a lot of pressure here, because obviously, like you said, um, there's public opinions that are changing and everyone's trying very hard to sort of censor that in so many ways, we've seen that with hollywood stars and now even in the protest, they've you know clamped down on what can and cannot be said, so we've got a slight um sort of like you know a tweet here, basically a post to show a man in the nhs you know as a surgeon who is actually um who was there you know on the actual recent march. as well displaying just leaflets, denouncing israel as racist, and um, you know, he was basically told that you know, it was not sufficient, it was not uh the right thing to say, and it was anti-semitic, and i think he was also in the end arrested and he had like an altercation um, verbally with the police and you know the metropolitan police

trying to explain like what was he doing that was wrong and what was he saying that was wrong because there's no real clear law and policy um but yeah, we'll see this right now. it's such a control state right, at this moment, which we would never expect from the west. yeah, well, exactly, that's that comes under the so-called policing and borders act gives the police, sweeping powers to break up a protest anytime they want, nobody's clear on western society in this. generation in this way, and i know we've seen history repeat itself quite a lot and this probably lack of hope, but these reportings and things that we're saying is so important for the current and the new generation as well, so hopefully if there is some sort of um ways of changing, then this could be it for them to actually understand the real stories and what's happening and you know the censorships, but at the same time there are

still people who are continuing regardless of their positions, they are still putting themselves out there, is recognizing that's dr. ranjit burar, we have interviewed him many times, uh, great guy, there's no uh single racist bone in this man's body, that's for sure, from susan saranden to ranjit burar, no one is spared if they criticize israel, to your second story, the temporary shelling that only applies to gaza, yes of course, um, we talk a lot about gazza, but at the end of the day we have to remember the west bank, and as you, our guest mentioned as well, there is continuous raids and this pose did not stop them from raiding continuously in the west bank, not just from you know um let them know sort of help them you know sort of be joyous about the sort of seas fire, not sees fire, but the actual pause for moment in time, but at the same time they were basically held back, they were still raided, they were still taking over, and we don't hear anything about the west bank at all in

the mainstream media, it's just you know nothing, have been killed since october and like you said, imprisoned as well, and it's a continuous thing and also remote areas around the west bank as well, so they continuous bombardment in so many ways even if it's not shelling, even if it's not bombings. there's obviously uh continuous incursions and storming yeah and they want to take over with new newer settlements continuously as well and make their lives complete hell. this was doctor who was killed, yes in the west bank in in the west bank. um, take us to your other story and the reputational damage that the west says suffered for its continued support for israel and the different standards that they apply. we remember for example how the american officials choked up talking about ukrainian soldiers being... um to the brits and all the rest of them, but then when it comes to the gaza strip and palestinians, it's a whole new set of standards, absolutely, we've got middle east and i here, middle east, i, a bbc

correspondent uh stating the double standards as well as you know the arguments against the west, that they have to respond to this, they have to respond to that, not just because of the sheer horror of the numbers of palestinian deaths, but also because the west now is suffering. too, western allies are suffering a damage to their reputation in the rest of the world, because the rest of the world is saying looking at lord cameron and the looking at they have to take accountability basically, and people are going to hold them account as to what's happening, and regardless of the situation, they will have to answer for what is continuous, and people will put the pressure on them. muhammad, thank you, we'll hear more from you tomorrow, that's for sure. let's continue the conversation with my guests here, and this... next one uh bush, if i may, i'll put it to you. we talked about the um reputation of western governments, but how about israel's reputation, this invincible

military force and all the rest of it, post october 7th. well, certainly there has been a shift. i think um, the actions of israel has really prompted people to question their total credibility throughout all of this. um, public sentiment has shifted, people are not believing what's coming out of israel. um and i i certainly know that there is a sense of fear, we have individuals already calling out in their masses saying that they do not and do not support the actions of israel, mean one example if i just give you um in 18 months of the war between russia and ukraine um 540 children's lives were lost, in gaza the equivalent is 5,000 plus, and when you look at that, you can only but feel that there is something detrimentally wrong with israel. so i think the reputation has gone down hill and i think if they're going to claw it back they don't actually have a chance, this is going to take them years and years to forget. we should thanks for that.

and finally to jafar, final question, briefly, if you may, um, what are your thoughts on on what happens in gaza next? well, it's a big disaster, of course, and and as i said, we we we always pay the price, but "it has to happen, we cannot just, what does the world expect of us? just lie down and accept it and be slaves or lie down and die, that will not happen. if i may is it to me to be brief, just i will caught mr. obama when he visited israel and he was talking to university students and he's put it simply, put yourself in your shoes, look at the world with their eyes." "you cannot expect a palestinian to live all his life under the boot of the israelis and be thankful. we have to defend our dignity, at least if not our

land, and we they can never get rid of us, the ethnic cleansing of palestine has been attempted long before israel was created. there was something called the dallit doctrine in in with the hagana before the creation of. israel and there was the dahya doctrine in beirout and gaza, which means maximum force for maximum destruction, then there was mowing the loan, and the loan is is people, is not grass, and there is so many doctrines that israel applies to us palestinians, it's more than savagery, there is no word to describe the brutality of the israeli. army and the israeli leadership, definitely, there is no word, to describe the brutality and the barbarity of what israel has committed against the palestinian, i'll

have to interrupt you there, really sorry, but thank you very much, we're going to have to leave it there, with those comments we're going to wrap up this show, many thanks again to my guests, bush, sheikh and jaffa ramini for their thoughts and time, gaza under attack will be back tomorrow with more, until then continue to keep palestine in your hearts, thank you.

we have a full understanding. of how the people of palestine have taken up this issue that they have been under occupation for almost 75 years, this embassy of the israeli government should be shut down. none of our union are going to lift any israeli goods out of any transport, just one thing.

your top stories here on press tv, hamas hands over 10 israelis in two foreign nationals to the red cross as part of an extended truce deal with israel which also includes the release of... prisoners, the world health organization warns that more people could die from diseases than israely bombings in gaza if the health system is not rapidly restored, and new un report says really bombardments of destroyed or damaged 60% of homes in gaza.
