2:02 am
hello and welcome to spotlight: another israeli propaganda attempt has been exposed. this pro israeli accounts on social media published a video shown israeli forces of detaining several dozen palestinians partially stripped, blindfolded and their hands tied behind their backs. israely media suggested that the detainees were hamas members, but it has been revealed that the detainees were in fact civilians from different walks of life. now this is not the first time that the israeli propaganda machine attempts to sp lies about the war on
2:03 am
gaza, the israeli regime has accused palestinian fighters of beheading babies targeting al-aani hospital in gaza and using hospitals as their military command centers. with over six days into the war on gaza, the regime has to prove the allegations level against the palestinian resistance and is now even struggling to avoid further humiliation. joining us on tonight's spotlight, we have spokesperson of the masar badil movement, was joining us. from vancouver and we also have political economy analyst clive menzies, he's joining us from the british capital, london. well, gentlemen, welcome to the program, let's start off with mr. barcott uh, in vancouver, uh, sur viral footage that we were just talking about, they showed civilian palestinians including doctors, academics and journalist stripped by israeli forces in gaza, israeli media claimed that the detainees were hamas members, but testimony.
2:04 am
later revealed by palestinians that the detanies were in fact civilians from different walks of life. this is not the first propagandaist fire by the israelis, how badly has the reputation of the israeli regime and its support has been tarnished during this onslot. yes, the israel 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 to market this to their own audience and to also try to find any kind of you know more reasons to continue theide in one hand and to be able to withdraw their forces because in the last three days 200 israeli tanks armor vehicles have been destroyed by the palestinian hero. resistance
2:05 am
in ghazza and the israeli army is not being able even capture a street and maintainus or is along the strip from the north to the south israel have clay that they have achieved you know a military achievement in of the north and yesterday we saw heavy clashes in the north at the same time an hour ago just the palestine... resistance have - declared you series of heroic brave operations where tens of israeli soldiers were you know killed and injured, the israeli attempts of freeing the israel captured prisoners in gaz have been failing repeatedly and the palestinian people in ghazza despite the genocide and israel war crimes are still uh united behind their resistance, the
2:06 am
palestinian people in palestine and in the diaspora are also united behind their armed resistance, and so you know israel is conflicting on palestinian children and civilians and you know drawing houses, still you know committing war crimes and genocide with full support from biden administration, full military and political support from the us and from britain who is getting also more involved in the genocide and war crimes against the palestinian people, i mean this is really the israeli army has become marker in the region and israeli you know have you know israel have always were proud of the you know military industry, but the palestinian resistance have turned this military israel industry to really mockery, they can kill people, can commit genocide and work. and try
2:07 am
buildings, but they're not achieving anything on the ground, and we are heading towards a palestinian victory, and israel is going to be defeated despite the thousands of people that they've been killing a... daily basis in in gazza, at the same time we have seen the international situation where guteres have been the general secretary of united nations have been calling for you fire and really you know it's just a joke whereas fire has become like debate for the past two months where the world cannot you know push israel into you know committing to international the international law today when it comes to israel is also becoming a marky. as the united states is crisis, this defeat, but that israel is going to witness is not just a military defeat, it's really a strategic deep defeat where the israeli entire project is going to be cumbling in palestine and where palestinians are going to be advanced,
2:08 am
palestinians are not alone in this battle, they are being supported by the lebanese resistance, the yemen resistance, the iraqi resistance, so we despite everything israel is doing, i think palestinians understand. they are heading towards victory, cross over to london and bring in uh mr. clives in the discussion. mr. menz is the western back to israeli propaganda has taken massive hit as uh as we see people across the world, world rallying and supportive uh palestinians and solidarity with palestinians condemning these religious side in gaza, and many of those rallies, demonstrators carried placards reading quote, it's not a war, it's a genocide, so people are recognizing this as a genocide, now that the true a brutal nature of israeli regime has been exposed. do agree that the israeli narrative, which is normally backed by mainstream media, has failed? um, good evening, well, a truism, which is always born out by events, that the truth is the first casualty of war, um, and from the get go, the narrative that in the popular western
2:09 am
media is to what happened was severally imped in terms of its veracity, um, even down to when one talks about seasfires. throughout the history of what's been going on in in palestine, the israelis are invariably the ones who always break the free the seasfires and they instigated this latest episode, but the other great truth is that all wars 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 regime that control money, and this is more about structure than individual. people um and what has 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 of civilians in the first world war was almost nonexistent, there was a fair amount of involvement of the civilians in the second world war, but now this is most
2:10 am
definitely a war on us all, and this goes much wider than gaza, gaza is microcosm of what is happening happen globally, essentially what we're in the middle of the... the collapse of the structure that is pertained for the last two and a half thous years and what we're seeing in gaza, ukraine and in many other respects around the world is the insanity structure goes into it death throws causing death and destruction and one the one of the fs of what the structures been doing over the last who knows how many centuries is promote um conflict so conflict between religions, peoples, ethnicity, um, but we need to be, as your other guess said, people are people, not governments or media necessarily, but people are becoming aware of narratives and how how little they relate to reality, and many people increasingly aware that there has long been a plan, greater
2:11 am
israel, which was formulated in plan in 1982, and to some extent what is happening in gaza at the moment is is distraction from all the many other assaults on many people around all of us around the globe, so when we talk about war, cannot ignore the war on terror which started with the false flag operation of 9/11 and everything that's unfolded since then, so the wars across afghanistan, iraq, syria, libya, um, these are all symptomatic of the same strategy, and the war on terror has involved us all, greater control, greater surveillance, greater restrictions, we then get to one of the other products of war is... induce mass migration and migration is being used as a weapon as it has been for centuries, which is destabilizing europe and not so much directly from what's been going on in the middle east two, so there is there is a sort of pattern here, we're also seeing
2:12 am
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 forget what's happened. over the last four years with the false narrative of the pandemic and the covid trogen, which is fermented genocide a a global scale via pharmaceuticals, but the good news is that... "this is the end of an era, an era that lasted two and a half centuries, and what we're witnessing is the death and destruction of that era. there is a paradigm shift and we're going to seeing again, hold that, mr. bar, since the beginning of the israel on palestinians in gaza, the israeli regime has sought to dismantle the resistance groups in gaza and and dismantle the military capabilities there, however, after eight weeks of lethal and attacks by theese." palestian resistance groups are still fighting back strong both inside and outside of gaza, the resistance is targeted tel aviv,
2:13 am
set it off with a barrage of missiles, so basically that means that these have not achieved any of their military objectives, am i right? you're absolutely right, also this is has been confirmed by most israeli intelligence, tub generals in the army and you know if you follow... the discussion inside the israeli regime, they all understand, especially those who are not today in the army, but they have become endless and have more sort of freedom to to to speak out in a more frank way, they are saying that israel is failing, that this operation in ghazza is going to fail and that israel is not going to achieve any of its objectives, first of all resistance, not just that it's not... weaker, it's actually getting stronger, and i'm not just saying that for media purposes, i'm saying by
2:14 am
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, as we were in the third month of yesterday, the israelis themselves were talking about. "this is as it is just began like as if we are going into the first day of of the war, and there is reasons behind that, one is that the palestinian resistance have set themselves into a very long battle that it's 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 you know attacks on ghazza, they have been trying to justify the war crimes by adopting the us
2:15 am
sprin narrative with you know, you did this in afghanistan and iraq, so we can do this to gaza, you have destroyed japan and through nuclear weapons on japan, so we can also threat palestinians nuclear weapon, and even some of their ministers is advocating until now to in their you know internal meetings to use nuclear weapons against palestinians in gaza, and we know that the final analysis. of this is that israel wants to displace palestinians from gazza so they can bave the way for what they call bion canal and which will connect the you know red sea to the mediterranean sea and not just israel, there are so many companies and regimes involved in this genocide, particularly saudi arabia regime, united arab emirates regime, even the egyptian regime are complicit in these war crimes, the us is failing, britain is failing, these western... powers are actually filling and the palestinian resistance resistance, iraqi resistance, yemen
2:16 am
resistance are also getting stronger, because if you look 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 yemy army is supporting the palestinian resistance, not with words. but actually with actual participation and so there is new power in the region coming out and rising supported and led by iran and the western power doesn't want to acknowledge this fact that things are changing and the region is changing, the e is rising and they just gonna have to deal with these new power. mr. mens, palestines un ambassadors criticized the international criminal court for failing to prosecute his. the officials for commit crimes against palestinians, regarding the issue of accountability, the likes of the icc and the
2:17 am
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 we're seeing right now with regards to the war on gaza? well, if the international criminal court had any validity at all uh characters such as tony blair, george bush and many others uh would have been held to account, but obviously we... it's a political tool like the un and most of the uh supernational bodies um, but the thing to remember is that what is happening in gaza is people, ordinary people. being destroyed irrespective of whose side they're on, the main agenda is to reduce the number of people, and the same in ukraine, one could see in ukraine that basically ukrainians are the ones in canonfodd for nato's war in ukraine, it certainly wasn't a war of nato's using, they haven imposed upon them, but in terms of the
2:18 am
institutions to which your other guess referred, the companies that are looking to make money out of whatever... commercial opportunities come out of this, um, these institutions are failing, they're becoming increasingly visible as being criminally complicit, not just in genocide, 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 that we we are long over due a complete economic and financial collapse or a reset. um and that is something that they are trying to control, but what is actually displacing these institutions and their, all 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 rather than what's fed through the media, is actually a product of self-organization, so the technology is
2:19 am
shifting the ground significantly, and this is a this is a paradigm shift of, as i say, annual portions um, so what can we do on the outside? you know, 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 we as people around the world can do is turn our back 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 that. taxes, we don't pay debts, we don't, we don't actually comply, then the system will break down all more quickly and something else will take its place, what is taking its place is a different way of organizing ourselves and when 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 is create is created a
2:20 am
situation of distrust across the whole of civilization, that has been replaced by technology which will actually extend beyond our families, beyond our groups, across ethnic broundaries, 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 th 5 thousand years that we've operated with this structure of m, which is created competition, conflict, and all of the years that we see all around us today, and it's what created the false narratives of the war on terror. 'um the climate scam and the covid so-called pandemic, all of these were created by, but that is changing, so what what is actually coming is the way that we always live as humans, with all of the technological and resource advantages that we have in the modern world, so new world is coming, but unfortunately you know the conflicts and the
2:21 am
death and destruction that we're witnessing is necessary process and the best way we can help accelerate'. "it cessation is not treat with the system in any way we can, and that's an individual choice that everyone can make. mr. bar, one last question for for you before you wrap up this segment of the program, it's the eve of the 30th anniversary of the first intofat. hamamas has made a statement that operation flood, it was legitimate right of palestinians to defend themselves as well as their land and sanctities, and that also flood is the natural continuation of the first intefad." and popular uprisings aim to end the israeli occupation. i want to get your thoughts on that statement, and is resistance in your opinion the only viable option for palestinians? well, i think we should remember that the hamas as a movement was actually born in the december 9th of 1987, the great palestinian popular intefada
2:22 am
and so 36 years have passed and the when you evaluate this... the past years in palestinian struggle, you see two pictures, one is the failing of so-called peace process, that it was nothing but feutile path and destructive path to the palestinian people right, and it has been proven that israel have used the so-called process and process to you know try to end the cause of the other picture is the growing strength of the palestinian armed resistance, particularly movements like mass, 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 palestinian revolution and this revolution is going to continue with the support of the people of the region and free
2:23 am
will of the world, and we see that israel have also lost its strategic you positioning in the region, they're definitely very strong in term of military and economic power, they're losing that as well and israel "we are witnessing at the beginning of the end of the designist regime in palestine. okay, i'm going to have to jump in there, we're running short of time. uh, thanks to uh spokesperson the masa battle movement joined us from vancouver, and thanks to political economy analyst and researcher clive menzi's joining us from the british capital, london, and a special thanks to your viewers for staying with us on night spotlight. it's good night for now, see next time.
