tv Gaza Under Attack TRAPPED PRESSTV December 7, 2023 12:02pm-12:29pm IRST
12:02 pm
sexual atroc, not sexual violations, not any kind of gross violation of sexual violence uh as part of the human vetting and with us backing and this is clearly a practice procedure, you the fact that they know go in, take take the equipment, take the evidence and then label this organization is a terrorist entity. i think that begs the of question, let's have look, i would love to have look at the list of organizations that are considered uh terrorist entities by israel. how many ngos would we find? how many pro-palestinian organizations would we find? um, does that mean that they have all been critical of the treatment of the israeli occupation forces against children? that's really the the standard which they want to operate. exactly, and away from the gaza strip where we see those atrocities taking place, um, we've seen the occupation forces arresting and killing the palestinians there too, and the death toll of palestinians killed by.... military forces since the start
12:03 pm
of the year is now fast approach 500, what's been happening there? what we're looking at is the attacks upon refugee camps, um, people in, not just, we know this has been happening in the west bank and what we're about to see isage of the occupation forces uh making sure their flag wherever they go, marking certain land that we know isunan land acknowledged by all um world. organizations that this is palestinian land, it's occupied territories, but this in particular um it's not something identified within the israeli borders and even then they are making sure to take it and now making sure to ransack the local um resources so that palest people are unable to to be self-sufficient and they have to constantly rely on the um on the forces to to get their humanity here in particular we're looking at um again occupation forces right attacking local grocery stores supermarkets and they are taking the... resources left um
12:04 pm
number one to this business owner um they're stealing it and and they're not even using it for themselves they're making no one can use it they look like egg cartons and they're filming it too can you see for for what filming it for what like for for them to use in yet another of the um satirical pieces where they're making fun of um palestinians not having yeah they were just high fiving and and and clapping fact that they were chucking away the probably only remaining uh sources of food to some of these communities yeah 'we know that the resistance um and the aggressions against palestinians will not be conned in, it has already spread outside of these boundaries, and this is just um yet another extension of horror and and of that oppression, what what's left really if they've taken their food, they're not giving many aid, they've cut off the electricity and the water, they're bombing their homes, what's left? what is left indeed? um, the so-called white feminist movement on what's unfolding in the gaza strip and in the rest of the palestinian'? territories and the
12:05 pm
metric they use to distinguish between uh society that is free and and one that is not, so that's an excellent question, because you part of the discussions that we're having offher is has to do with this, why aren't the women of the world you there for ami where when when the um allegations uh were raised against her oppression, what's going on now across the world, where are these um bollywood actresses cutting off their hair and and people raising their voice on their social media platform where are women being of um uh giving b without anesthesia when there are uh women going without sanitas going without water unable to feed their children where is the outcry then uh to answer your question white feminism i'm going to quote it because you know i i have um i need to make sure it's precise the oppression of women that is analyzed through a single access framework um consistently eraising the identity and experiences of minority women um in all areas of life white feminism is a term which is used to describe expression feminism
12:06 pm
which are perceived as focusing on white women's experience of the world um and feeling to address the existence of distinct of oppression so what we're about to see is an example in my opinion of white feminism and the satirical response of a muslim you know woman woman who makes light of our experience let's talk where are you? i mean are you in gaza or are you in america where you can wear your key to the beach no one is going. kill you for that? first thing i think about when the gen or ethnic cling i say wit wit, can i wear a bikini there? can i wear a bikini in sodan and ghaza? i can't. no bikini, you're on your own habibi. of everything that could have been said or done, the bikini was the metric that was used to, let say to disting between freedom and lack there of. and it's exactly, it's like if if woman, woman cannot remove her clothing in
12:07 pm
public in these countries then why are we fighting for these? these people are clearly already themselves um victims of their own oppression because they're allowing society that doesn't allow them to disrobbe and public, the nonsense, the really the entitlement, the privilege of these white feminist narratives that consider that to be the the basis of humanity, whether i can disre or not, when actually we're looking at children dying, we're looking at women, as we said, unable to give birth without an anesthesia through c-section, it's it's a disgusting um place that they find themselves and these women can not choose to leave. the last story that i'd like to to take us to um... is actually talking about some of the victory that that the resistance had had and the humiliation that they have um forced upon designist entity and their allies um with the image that we're about to see is really um i think just factual clear unequivocally um
12:08 pm
easy see that the access of resistance is that working yes so much so that they are able to add 18 days of um extra voyage for the uh cargo ships that are you know heading towards uh the occupied entity um 80 days is not a small amount of time you know it would have taken them um five six days through the suis canal passing by yemen uh the brave yemen brothers and sisters the resistance there has vowed to not allow any allies of america or israel near its waters and any ships that are if the hostility don't stop now that's what they said absolutely if the hostility don't stop now and so um to the resistance um and solidarity with with our brothers and sisters in yemen who are fighting on behalf of the palestinian people, but also this is only made possible through the use of social media, people actually hearing about this, cooperating and coordinating across borders. all right, latif, thanks very much. latifa will be back
12:09 pm
in the hot seed with more next time. now the global tigh against israel continues to intensify as the regimes. barbarism in gaza intensifies, yet there do remain people in the west still buy into the western media propaganda. earlier we spoke mujarad, a self-development expert and pralestinian activist. he said that if people do not understand the palestinian struggle, before october 7th, they are bound to buy into the western propaganda. the whole thing is smoke screen, to cover the the obvious fact of an israeli apartite that. that's the root cause and people don't want to address that and they just put plaster top of something that is entirely broken, it's it's, mean the people like myself and lot of us been following this situation for many years are very aware of that, but for lot of people they think the whole thing is started from the 7th of october and it's it's a complete
12:10 pm
smoke screen, i share on social media because that's the only platform i have to speak up about it because lot of people are scared of speaking up about it because they worried about being anti-semitic. and all the other things and i'm saying the simplest you could do is speak up about it, if you somehow in a situation where you can't even speak up about it, i don't why, but you can still support bds, you can still pay towards charities and support the movement, so simply i bringing awareness to the thing, like making people realize that there is a genocide going on and the genocide is going on on the back of and is really apartite, lot of people in my circle friends are scared of actually saying these simple words, but they have to get out their comfort zone and you know speak up about it. i think that's the simplest thing we could do, because people in the palestine they going through so much hardship and we if they are if we are their friend, at the very least we have to say look, we know to witness them in the in the hour of need and instead
12:11 pm
of abandoning them. mr. moj further said, he believes the change is coming, but ordinary people who support palestine have to play their part and be proactive. what we can do is to actually uh... hit them where it hurts, which is with where we spend our money, like don't spend money on mcdonald's, don't spend money on pet cola, don't spend money on disney, all these places that are actually supporting apartite, you can be conscious about that and don't spend money on that, in terms of i think basically the way, mean i do lot of things with psychology, shadow and the shadow is only has power when it's not examined and is not observed, and i f this the apartite is almost like a global shadow people who avoid it help it sustain, but the moment we all look at it, it will dissolve, and i sincerely believe that this is why it's what they call it, it's a grassroot movement that would change things, we all have to acknowledge that there such a thing as apart,
12:12 pm
and once we acknowledge it and and then it loses it power because is is our voting power, it's our spending power that is sustain it, if we just subconsciously ignoring it and everything then we sustaining it, so that's where we do have power, the movement is achieving critical mass, it's been for years like posting on social media and like two or three people agree with me right now on social media a lot of people. work call about it and i think now the tires are turning and that's why i like for every uh unnecessary palestinian death there's thousands of us who waking up and seeing the truth and that's the only thing that i'll be happy about can't be happy about all this death and destruction speaking to us earlier i want to continue with that actually with my guests rick sterling in the san francisco bay area by skype and here in the studio with me and of course you're watching gaza under attack um rick sterling, i'm sure you watch and read different media on both sides of the
12:13 pm
two very different narratives of the israel palestine conflict, you mentioned the support for the israeli regime plummeting, despite the murdok empire, facebook exam mosk traveling to kabutes recently, um them backing israel, but still more people than ever seem to have started calling into question the israel narrative, is that how you see it? too, can you expand on that? yeah, absolutely, the establishment and in the united states are still very much supportive of of israel, but they are getting worried because the public perception of israel has changed dramatically, in the last days i would say, after october 7 there was no poring of support for for israel, actually, ever since um israeled the you and has continued this bombing with all of the civilians as... with with thousands and thousands of children being killed. this has
12:14 pm
changed the perception and think i think it's really threatening um to the establishment and to elites definitely it's going to been with fear in intel aviv and they're they're opening the food gates to try to change social media to change to uh increase the censorship they're uh just in the next day or two they're going to be calling the presidents of three prominent universities before congress. trying to grill them over allowing protests, so they're threatening free speech, threatening free thought uh on the basis that you can't criticize israel, but this is this is changing um of course because in significant part because young jewish activists have played a very strong role and and in some actions have led the way, so uh the the notion that um anti uh that zionism that you're anti-semitic if you criticize. ism or criticize israel, that's that's being criticized in congress, right
12:15 pm
now there's a resolution which specifies the resolution is condemningism with anti-semitism exactly, they equate that, i think the the latest they may be shelving that, because it's it's come under some criticism, which obviously is the case, you remember that in 1975 the united nations general assembly said that zionism is a form of racism and it was a big mastick in 1991 that that uh resolution was overturned or resinded but um i think a lot of people now are seeing the that if you criticize uh israel or you criticizenism that is not being anti-semitic and many jewish people are saying exactly that that we need to criticize israel and we need to criticize yeah ask you which i will later about the impact. this groundswell of support for the palestinians having on the popularity rating of the bitean, but that's something i'll come back
12:16 pm
to you later, but bringing that the equation of anti-zionism with anti-semitism, the the change in the definition of that, every west country uh more or less has has embraced that new definition by the ihra, um, how do you see that? what kind of impact is happening on the ground here in in the uk and probably the proper? i i think the fact that so many jewish people have come out against sionism has played a big role in in making this difference because i think before it was seen like very clearly i think in the uk because if you look at us i think the palestinian activism has been led by the jewish the non jews however i think in uk it's the muslims muslims are in the forefront of you know fighting for palestine so when because it was muslims who used to talk about equating judaism to to zionism, it was very easy to crack down on muslims and and to make us look
12:17 pm
like we are anti-sematic, but when it's jews and in their huge numbers they themselves are talking about this, i think now it's becoming really uncomfortable and and unreasonable to equate the so i think that has played a lot of role, but also on on the issue of of media, you think it is the unsung heroes of of really the work that has been done in change the perspective are those who are based in these are the palestinians whose blogs, whose you know pictures that they have been sent to the world, because these otherwise had we not been able to see that, i don't think the tide would have ever changed, so they have been killed in this. we talked about the number of killed never before, but the kind of work they have done in making a change, in making the global perspective change, i think is just amazing, and these are the people, i think we as journalists ourselves, we look up to them and we see them as our heroes, exactly, of course, we have seen jewish groups turning out with the rest the calling for sease fire in weeks and
12:18 pm
jewish groups in the uk, when the israeli ambassador to the uk was being appointed, they wrote uh to the officials here to not accept her because of her past because of her supremes of racist attitude. this this is the one thing that i think gives me so much hope when we meet when you go to you know protests and you meet jews over there and i think many many times when in the course of our work and we you will hug each other and we will you know we have same course and and there is really this whole concept worldwide with the capitalism and colonialism trying to separate us as people and making hate each other, you know of the day, we all are humans and we feel the same way, and you able to sit with you, person of a different religion, constantly we heard about it about muslims and jews in palestine, which is creating division, absolutely, and i think the fact that this is something that i think israel never thought about, but what they have actually ended up doing is very clearly
12:19 pm
showing us the difference between judaism and and zinism, so as a muslim i can so comfortably sit down with my jewish brothers or... and feel that that connection, that that's that's a loss for them, that's where they've lost, exactly, hold to that, we may go back to it later, but for now, members of gaza's medical fraternity have been on the frontline of the efforts to save lives in the midst of the deadly assault on their communities, sometimes lose their lives in the process. an act of solidarity, members of international humanitarian group, doctors without borders, held a sit in beirout lebanon, during which they call for an end gaza and for an end to attacks hospitals and medical workers in the... designated by medson sun frontiere, doctors without borders timbolized for gaza. from beirout we call out to all concerned parties for the necessity of securing an immediate and sustainable in gaza. the israeli government should start
12:20 pm
waging on palestinian civilian and end force to statement operations. attacks on hospitals and medical teams must cease immediately. the bocade and restrictive israeli measure aid must also cover net and fahim muhammad is back with more and how the sulton gaza is being covered fahim good to have you back starting this segment with how everyone in gaza is literally minutes from death well as you were talking about you know how uh people are reporting we are still lucky to see that and this nurse in particular he had very lucky escape he stayed back in to help the ones that are still stranded over there and he literally had lucky escape as we can hear for now yeah this is like where i was sleeping over here, this is why i was sleeping, everything, everything is gone, so many people are under the rouble, i wassing here, i was so lucky, i want to go, i went outside for a little bit, wife back to the
12:21 pm
world to tell them what we're living, going out, we're we're. real to that and more um with regards to timing as well like we seeing it as unfolds as he just literally went out for moment and everything was no just taken away under him, it is nightmare indeed and nowhere of course is saying the gaza strip as the who has been telling the us well we have young journalist as well saying the same thing they are now in south ghaza has been you know told from the very beginning to move but there she's reporting as well from um the south saying that they are now looking at the sort of sky lit up mhm. meaning that they're going to be born as well in that area which is safe, yes, the lightning this sky, we know and you know if you're following me before that this lights means that they will target this place or this area d this before, all
12:22 pm
these lightings before, i lived this this sound here before. very moment and we can see that the actual b now actually in on unis as she has mentioned wow so it's literally unfolding as minute by minutes and everything is happening in the south worse than what it was even in north uh and the violence and butched does not stop in the ghaza strip absolutely not we're still getting the torment the oppression the constant um sort of like letting ev the palestinians not even lie in the gross and have some peace and rest as we they get attacked all the time. does not make difference to them, it's it's swearing at them, it's talking down to them,
12:23 pm
it's degrading them, cannot even sit for resting, yeah, it's just again another calling state, absolutely, thanks at always, all right, let's continue the conversation with my guest in the studio and on skype, rixing i'll begin with you, i promise i would come back to you with a quick note on the... impact the support among the masses in in the us is having on the government, the bite administration's popularity rating, well it's it was low before and it's even lower now, and especially a big factor here is that there are critical states in the united states that can turn elections and michigan is one of them and michigan is one with a significant arab population, so as you can expect, there are many of muslims and arabs in michigan who are now saying they will never vote for joe biden, he's basically the uh israeli all right, since we're faving out of time, i'm going to put one last question
12:24 pm
to you, sakina, rick mentioned the arab populations in the us, uh, we've been hearing from gasens, for example saying these arab states, members of the persian golf corperation council, who are meeting in qatar today, wonder if the meeting has ended, they're saying that at least partly to blame this. long conflict, do you think you think that's fair? i think not partly, they are hugely to blame for for everything that's happening for 75 years in in palestine buse, i think if at all these muslim priesound one israel there and these you know all the muslim countries that surrounded there if they had a bit of you know i'm careful in words because it makes me so angry you know that if they had a little bit of courage they could have put this right long ago and it's it's obvious, it's like they just want to pacify, it's all about their own power, their own stay over there, so muslims have lot, lot to um to be blamed for, however, just and i
12:25 pm
think i what i want to say is that palestinian people have shown us what we as muslims or muslim world can be, and i think you know it's about just choosing between this life and the life after, i think despite everything that is going on, their faith tells them that. after going through all spain, there's something beautiful waiting for them, and i think for someone who is not scared of dying, what do you do to them, so israel can do all that they want to do, but palestinians are not going anywhere, they're there to stay, we're going to have to leave it there, with those comments we are going to wrap up this show, many thanks again to my guts for their contributions, gaza under attack will definitely back tomorrow with more, until and continue to keep palestine in your thoughts,
12:26 pm
