israeli propaganda attempt has been exposed, this time pro israeli accounts on social media published video showing israeli forces detaining several dozen palestinians partially stripped, blindfolded and their hands tied behind their backs. israeli suggested that the detanies were hamas members, but it is revealed that the detanies were in fact civilians from different walks of life. now this is not the first time that the israeli propaganda machine attempts to spread lies about the war on gaza, the israeli regime has accused. palestinian fighters of getting babies targeting hospital ing using hospitals as their military command centers over six days into the war on gaza, the regime has failed to prove the in allegations against the palestinian resistance and is now even struggling to avoid mission joining us on tonight spotlight we have spokesperson of the mas movement was joining us from vancouver and we also have
10:04 pm
political economy analyst and researcher clive mensies is joining us from british capital london. well, welcome to the program. let's start off with mr. barrakot in vancouver. sir viral footage uh we were just talking about, they showed to civilian palestinians including doctors, academics and journalists stripped and detained by israely forces in gaza. israel media claimed that the detain were hamas members. testimonies later revealed by palestinians that the detainies are in fact civil. from different walks of life, not the first propaganda misfire by the israel, how badly has the reputation of the israeli regime and its support has been tarnished during this onslot? yes, the israeli regime is looking for any kind of picture of victory, and they are been failing repeatedly, and so this is just one of their latest attempts of showing that they actually have achieved something in. to market this to
10:05 pm
their own audience and to also try to find any kind of you know more reasons to continue their genocide in one hand and to be able to withdraw their horses because in the last three days 200 israeli tanks, armored vehicles have been destroyed by the palestinian heroic resistance in and the israeli army is not being able even a street and maintain in in one street in khan or the fighting is along the strip from the north to the south, israel claimed that they have achieved you know military achievement in the north and yesterday we saw heavy clashes in the north at the same time and our palestinian resistance have declared you know series of heroic brave operations where tens
10:06 pm
of israeli soldiers were killed and injured, the israeli attempts of freeing the israeli captured prisoners have been failing repeatedly and the palestinian people in gaza despite the genocide and israeli war crimes are still united behind their resistance, the palestinian people in palestine and in the... diaspora are also united behind their armed resistance and so you know israel is conflicting lot of on palestinian children and civilians and destroying houses still you know committing war crimes gen side with full support from by the administration full military and political support from the us and from britain who is getting also more involved in genocide and war crimes against
10:07 pm
the palestinian people, i mean this is really israeli army has become a mary in the region and israeli you know have israel have always were proud of their you know military industry, but the palestinian resistance have turned this military israeli industry to really mockery, they can kill people, they can commit genocide and war crimes and destroy building, but they're not achieve anything on the ground, and we are heading towards a pan victory, and israel is going to be defeated despite the thousands of people that they've been killing a daily basis in in ghaza, at the same time we have seen the internationals. situation whereis have been general secretary of united nations have been calling for you sess fire and it's really you know it's just a joke where seesfire has become like debate the past two months where the world cannot you know push israel into
10:08 pm
you committing to international international law today when it comes to israel is also becoming mockary as the united states is in crisis this defeat but that israel is going to to witness is not just a military defeat, it's really a strategic deep defeat where the israeli entire project is going to be crumbling in palestine and where palestinians are going to be added, palestinians are not alone in this pattern, they are being supported by the lebanese resistance, the resistance, iraq resistance, so we despite everything israel is doing, i think palestinians understand that they are heading towards victory over to london and bring in mr. in the discussion western back israeli propaganda has taken a massive hit as - as we see people across the world world rallying in support of palestinians and solidarity with palestinians condemning the israeli genocide in gaz and many of those rallies demonstrators carried plads reading quote it's not a war it's a genocide so people are
10:09 pm
recognizing this as a genocide now that the true a brutal nature of the israeli has been exposed would you agree that the israeli narrative which is normally backed by mainstream media has failed? um, good evening, well, it's a truism which is always born out by events, that the truth is the first casualty of war, um, and from the get go, um, the narrative that has been put forward in the popular western media as to what happened was severely impaired in terms of its veracity, um, even down to when one talks about cease fires, throughout the history of what's been going on in in palestine, israelis are invariably the ones who always break the free the ceasefires and they instigated this latest episode, but the other great truth is that all wars are banks wars, whether you go back into the last century, the century before, but more than anything what we've seen over the last 20 years is very much wars that benefit the
10:10 pm
regime that control money, and this is more about structure than individual people, um, and what's also become much much truer of late is that it's become obvious, if you go back to the first and second world wars, the involvement in civilians in the first world war was almost nonexistent, was fair amount of involvement of civilians in the second world war, but now it's most definitely a war on us all, and this goes much wider than gaza. gaza is microcosm of what is happening happening globally. essentially what we're in the middle of the collapse of the structure retained for the last two and a half hours. years and what we're seeing in gaza, ukraine and in many other respects around the world is the the insanity structure goes into its death throws causing death and destruction and one of the one of the features of what the struct has been doing over the last who
10:11 pm
knows how many centuries is promote um conflicts so between religions, peoples, ethnicity, whatever, um, but we need to be as your other guess said people people, not governments or media necessarily, but people are becoming aware of the narratives and how that how little they relate to reality, and many people are increasingly aware that there has long been a plan for greater israel, which was molated in the inon plan in 1982, and to some extent what is happening in gaza at the moment is his distraction from all the many other assaults on many people around all of us around the globe, so when we talk about war we cannot ignore the war on terror which started with the false operation of 9/11 and thing that has unfolded since then, so the wars across afghanistan, iraq, syria, libya, these are all symptomatic of the same strategy, and the war on terror has involved
10:12 pm
us all greater control, greater surveillance, greater restrictions, we then get one of the product of war is induced mass migration, my migration is being used as a weapon as it has for centuries, which is destabilizing europe and not so much directly from what's been going on in the middle east but so there is there is a sort of pattern here we're also the acceleration of the bogus climate narrative narrative and basically where they're talking about net zero, the carbon they're trying to reduce the carbon life forms, namely most of the people, and we can't get what happened over the last four years with the false narrative of pandemic and the covid trogen, which is fermented genocide a global scale via pharmaceuticals. the good news is that this is the end of an era, an era that's lasted two and a half centuries, and witnessing is the death and destruction of that era, there is a paradigm shift and we're going to see something again
10:13 pm
from hold that thought, since the beginning the israel on palestinians in gaza, the israeli regime has sought to dismantle uh the the resistance groups in gaza and and dismantle the military capabilities there, however after eight weeks of lethal and debt tacks by the israelies palestinian resistance groups are still fighting back strong both inside and outside. the resistance is targeted, of miss, so basically that means that the israel have not any of their military objectives, am i right? you're absolutely right, also this is has confirmed by most israeli intelligence tub generals in the army, and if you are following the discussion inside the israel regime, they all understand, exactly those who are not today in the army, but they have become mas and
10:14 pm
have more sort of freedom to to to speak out a more frank way, they are saying that israel is failing that this operation in gazza is going to fail and that israel is not going to achieve any of this objectives, first of all the palestinian resistance, not just that it's not getting weaker, it's actually getting stronger, and i'm not just saying that for media p, i'm saying this... by watching closely on the ground of the palestinian resistance performance, first of all you have very united palestinian resistance front and the coordination, control, communication has been stronger than ever, yesterday, after you as we were entering the third month of this battle, yesterday the israel is themselves were talking about this is as it is just began like as if we are going to the... day of of the war and there is reasons behind that, one is that the palestinian resistance have set
10:15 pm
themselves into a very long battle that is going to take months and maybe even years, and the other thing is that the palestinian resistance have very strong popular incubator and popular support, israel since the beginning of this genocide and and and and you know attacks on ghazza, they have been trying to justify their work by adopting the us britan narrative with you, you did this in afghanistan and iraq, so we can do this together, you have destroyed japan and throw you know nuclear weapons or japan so we can also threat palestinians with nuclear weapon and even some of their ministers is advocating until now to uh in their you know internal meetings to use nuclear weapons against palestinians in gazza and we know that the final analysis of this is that israel wants to displace palestinians from ghazza so they can't bave the way for what they call bangoron canal in which will con the you know red sea to the mediterranean sea
10:16 pm
and not just israel, there are so many companies and regimes involved in this genes, particularly saudi arabia regime, united arab emirates regime, even the egyptian regime are complicit in the war crimes, the us is failing, britain is failing, these western powers are actually filling and the palestine resistance, lebanese resistance, resistance, yemeni resistance are also getting stronger because if you look since 2015 yemen has you know with this crimes at the hands of the regime supported by us, britain and all these western imperialist power who destroyed yemen and and the yemani today the yemani army is supporting palestine resistance not with words but actually with actual participation and so there is new power. region coming out and rising and led by iran and the powers
10:17 pm
doesn't want to acknowledge this fact that things are changing and the region is changing, the east is rising and we just going to have to deal with these new power. mr. mens, palestinians un ambassadors criticized the international criminal court for failing to prosecute israely officials for committing these crimes against palestinians regarding the issue of accountability, the likes of the icc and icj, they've not mustered enough strength to do anything. in your opinion, does this expose the lack of a proper mechanism to deal with with these situations, like like we're seeing right now with regards to the war on. yeah, well, if the international criminal court had any validity at all, characters such as tony blair, george bush, many others would have been held to account. obviously, we know it's a political tool, the un and most of the uh supernational bodies, um, but the thing to remember is that, this what is happening in gaza is people, ordinary people being
10:18 pm
destroyed, irrespective of whose side they're on, the main agenda is to reduce the number of people. and the same in ukraine, we could see uh in ukraine that basically ukrainians are the ones who've been canfod for nato's war in ukraine, it certainly wasn't a war of nato choosing, they have a leadership imposed upon them, but in terms of the institutions to which your other guess refer, companies that are looking to make money out of whatever commercial opportunities come out of this, and these institutions are feeling becoming increasingly visible as being criminally complicit, not just in genocide, but in embezzlement and all sorts of of crimes, and basically the whole system relies on money, and what no very few are talking about is that the world of money is changing, because the background to all of this is we we are long over due a complete economic and financial collapse or reset, and that is
10:19 pm
something that they're trying to control. what is actually displacing these in? institutions and their power, or be it very slowly at first, but it's accelerating, is is self-organization, the technology that gives us the ability to have visibility of actually what's going on and rather than what's fed through the media, is actually a product of self organization, so the technology is shifting the ground significantly, and this is a this is a paradigm of, as i say, millennial proportions, so what can we do on the outside, there's very little... one can do in terms of the internal conflict, it will it will play out as it plays out, but what what we as people around the world can do is turn our backs on the criminal institutions that are actually contributing to this this situation, and that is governments, companies, ngos, they're all complicit, we need to self-organize and and take away the power, if we don't pay the taxes, we don't
10:20 pm
pay debts, we don't, we don't actually comply, and the system will break down all the more quickly, and something else will take its place, what is taking its place is different way of organizing ourselves and where money is not needed, because people operate on the same basis as they they operate in families or small groups, what what money is done, has created a situation of distrust across the whole of civilization, but that is being replaced by technology which will actually extend that trust beyond our families, beyond our groups, across ethnic. regional borders, religions, etc. and this is the way as modern humans, we've been around for some 300 thousand years, and it's only in the last three to five thousand years that we've operated with this structure of money, which is created competition, conflict, and all of the yiels that we seal around us today, and it's what's created the false narrative of the war on terror, the
10:21 pm
climate scam, the covid, so-called pandemic, all of these okay. money, but that is changing, so what, what is actually coming is the way we always lived as humans, but with all the technological and resource advantages that we have in the modern world, so new world is coming, but unfortunately, the conflict and the death, destruction that we're witnessing is necessary process, and the best way we can help accelerate its sessation is to not treat the system in any way we can, and that's an individual choice that everyone can. mr. barkov, one last question for you before you wrap up the segment of the program, it's the eve of the 36th anniversary of the first tafada. hamas made a statement that operation was legitimate right of palestinis to defend themselves as well as their land and sanctities, and that flood is the natural continuation of the first interfada and
10:22 pm
popular uprisings that aim to end the israeli occupation. i want to get your thoughts on that statement and resistance. in your opinion the only viable option for palestinians, well i think we should remember that the hamas as movement was actually born in the december 9th of 1987, the great palestinian popular in father and so 36 years have passed and the when you evaluate this the past 36 years in palestinian struggle you see two pictures, one is the failing of the so-called peace process that was nothing but a futile path and the path to the palestinian people rights and it has been proven that israel have used the so-called peace process. and the oslo process to you know try to end the cause of palestine other picture is the growing strength of thestinian armed resistance particularly movements like hamas
10:23 pm
islamic jihad and military resistance in ghazza and in the west bank, but what we also see is that palestinians are renewing their revolutionary struggle. october 7th mark the reviving of the palesty. revolution and this revolution is going to continue with the support of the people of the region and free will of the world and we see that israel have also lost its strategic you know positioning in the region, they're definitely a very strong in term of military and economic power, they're losing that as well and israel we are witnessing the beginning of the end of the zin. regime in palestine, okay, i'm going to have to jump in there, we're running short of time, uh, thanks to uh, spokesperson of the masa battle movement khalid barkot joining us from vancouver, and thanks to
