tv SPOTLIGHT PRESSTV January 29, 2024 10:02pm-10:30pm IRST
10:02 pm
10:03 pm
seem to be two very important axes involved, and what is happening to palestinians in gaza, either one supports the palestinians, or they do not? the two fronts are the axis of resistance, which consists of to resist us hejamony via the zinanis regime, and the other front is the axis of genocide. now, the axis of resistance is made up of iran and its allies, and the access of genocide is made up of the united states and its allies, once. fights the genocide against the palestinians and the other side supports the genocide against palestinians. now this may sound like a very simplistic explanation, but it is a reality. stay with me as we take a look at this on this spot. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. sab shath, author and west asia expert out of us. and eve zingler,
10:04 pm
author and political activists, out of more. well, thank you both for being with us. well, sab, let's start off with the palestinian resistance itself. we've seen today that more rockets are still being fired at tel aviv, uh, from algas and brigades in gaza. let's talk about this. how is it possible after zionist forces have been on the ground in gaza for months, um, that they can't even... stop the resistance from firing into occupied areas? the palestinan resistance despite the ongoing zionist western back genocide on the civilians and gaza, they exposed how hollow a and weak this entity, which is the whole as we witness in the 8th of october, all the west rushed down to this... entity from biden
10:05 pm
to the italian, the french, the british and romanians, the rest of europe, to show up this collapsing base, advanced military base for the the empire, and they ensuring up the this entity with opening all the arsenals of the united states of america and west europe, even diversing some shipments of weaponry and money as well from ukraine. to to it uh, this in its own uh was huge shake and huge insult to all the investment the west europe and the united states of america is been investing in creating this zist entity on the expense of killing, i don't want even say hundred of thousand millions of arabs in that regions, but yesterday if you would seen from uh day
10:06 pm
the the the resistant in gaza launched from the heart of hinunis a barrage of rockets targeting tel aviv, yesterday the the the resistant published videos showing they are manufacturing their own weapons under the ground in in hannunis itself, this the key for the resistance and i can say this is across all the resistant axes from to palestine, to iraq, even syria, to yemen, they are all shared this point which they, they manufacture their own high-tech but cheap weapons which they can afford to produce and to target, and this in its own is creating kind of tilting the balance of power reginally, and this is what shaking the united states of america, let me look just, a
10:07 pm
quick point, the yemanies in in their own when they enacted their blockade, this is the first time in history, a small poor state without navy. without that powerful navy behind her to impose and inact a blocade against a power which is considered the 13th strongest army in the world okay stay with me sab bause i'm gonna get into yemen and other parts of the resistance as the show progresses but uh let's get eves involved in this conversation now since the genocidees started by the zin against palestinians the lebanese resistance group hazbullah has been increasing its number of reciprocal. attacks against the israeli regimes. i'd like to hear your thoughts on the role that hesbullah has been playing in opening up new front uh for the israeli regime to put pressure on them uh whether it has been effective or not in your perspective. well, mean, obviously it's been
10:08 pm
effective uh in the sense that if they wouldn't have, that would have put made the israeli military even more um. to kill in gaza, they have been able to obviously bomb inside israel multiple occasions and the israelis are are clearly, huge numbers of israelis have had to move from the area and and the israelis are are clearly trying to get hez to move away from the border, it's i think... clearly security problem for for israel um, you know, how how big of impact it's having on um on israel's ability to to kill in gaza, you know it's not clear to me, i mean obviously israel has his nuclear weapons and could drop them on gaza if they
10:09 pm
wanted, and they can obviously lob huge numbers of us uh uh bombs uh into gaza, which they've been doing, the question of israeli's... soldiers, i think is a bigger problem because the the cost of taking people out of of the economy and having reserves called up and and the more number of troops they have to have devoted towards hezbula takes away from what they can have uh directed at at the palestinians in gaza um so it's clearly had an impact i i'm not in a position to assess like how substantive that has been on israeli military. capacities: okay, what about that, sab, your your perspective on the effect that hezbulah has had, if any, and your thoughts on the type of weapons that hazbullah has gradually started introducing different kinds of weapons as the conflicts uh progress progresses. one of the
10:10 pm
things which is noticed and i was proud of how the hizballah modified the anti-tank kind of missiles like the... cornit missile to be used against kind of not tanks and not arm personals but against bases, military bases and things, which is this is how they develop that and make it advanced, this is is amazing, and then the second thing which we saw couple of days ago, the tv guided missiles precisely going to its own target and and can be a... its targets by the launcher as well, this is an advance and and huge message to the zinis entity to to understand the hizballah is producing types of of technologies which they didn't know about and with their precise missiles, even
10:11 pm
the zist entity yesterday they were saying hizballah is capable of launching 1000 missiles an hour at them if they... is gone some of the zinus entity journals, this is like nightmare scenario for the zinus entity, so the technologies which is indigenous technologies, this is important point in here, it is indigenous technologies among the the resistance axes and so they can dig underground deep and they produce these things and can fight a long long battles, they don't want to wait for shipment route. stuff, they have the technology and they have the know how and producing it. okay, well it's a drawn attack on sunday hit american soldiers, killing three of them and winding at least 25 of them. uh, this was uh, well reports say on the border between jordan and syria, others say it was at the an american
10:12 pm
base in syria, but in general, how significant are such attacks in putting pressure on the americans for supporting the israeli genocide in gaza? i think they're they're significant uh, there is no doubt that the us is is uh feeling pressure and there's been a reports are saying something in the range of 150 to 200. attacks within iraq against us military targets, clearly it's a big uh media item in the us uh, it's causing uh, i think some reverberations within us politics in terms of uh anti-war voices saying let's not get sucked into a a bigger war on behalf of the us - behalf of the israeli genocide um so so you know you would like to believe that 'there's uh there's democratic mechanisms within us politics or the us would listen to you
10:13 pm
rulings of the international court of justice or things like that, but the reality is is that resistances, military resistance is what um the the uh the masters in washington are are you know respond to, and so i think that this is definitely uh uh putting some pressure on the us, now does the us empire respond by uh escalating things, i think that's uh certainly a possible and maybe probable uh uh situation uh response um but uh but clearly uh you know just sort of standing aside and saying hey go ahead and kill as many people as you want uh in gaza with with us provided and and uh donated weapons uh that's uh clearly not a not a strategy well uh islamic resistance. of iraq has launched over 150 attacks on american interests in iraq and syria, your thoughts
10:14 pm
about the effectiveness of what they're doing, not just in iraq and in syria, the iraqi resistant were amazing, even the directed massive, they they got a massive impact on the two major ports, ha ports and ports in the zin entity, they used on it, kind of cruise missiles and the in ha alone they they said this is a strategic area which is it and the sign entity did its best to hide that the the iraqi resistant acting with armed with kind of legislation from the iraqi parliament which is considered the american presence in iraq is cubation and they ask the americans to leave as long as the americans is there, there are occupation forces, so they directing a blow at the after a blow at
10:15 pm
the incubation forces and as well the american presence in in syria is an occupation which the syrian government, even lately the americans looding that they gna try to come to an agreement between the syrian government and kasad which is the kurdish movement supported by the united states of america, the the syrian government dismiss that they are not going to... tain any ideas or lies from the american occupation and the iraqi when they directed blows at them in syria because they know this is oil of syria which is looted from the northeast of syria and the kirdish militant try with takfiri groups sellen it, it comes through karkook in iraq and goes to the zinis entity as well, this is stool stole oil and the same thing the americans are looting nearly 1 billion dollar a year from the iraqi oil and they have just like kind of killing
10:16 pm
point on the american the finance system in iraq the stagnating the iraki economy by controlling its liquidity of dollars or that in the american banks and this is the point which to use to brusherize the iraki government but lately the direct the blows the iraqi resistance direct at them it's make them on the run, they want to leave iraq, they losing lot lately in the personals on shifting their forces from base to base, so the americans paying heavy price in iraq and in syria right now, well looking at what saib has just talked about, uh says of course the iraqi resistance in dealing with ports in the mediterranean and we also have ports uh basically in the red sea regime port. on the red sea that have been uh being attacked by the yemeny forces, let's talk about the
10:17 pm
yemini side of things and how effective their blockad in the red sea and boba mandep has been? well, it's put lot of pressure uh on on the us, it's obviously generated significant concern among business circles around north america, europe, it's cost, "the shipping costs have gone up, um, you know, it hasn't stopped israel from doing what it's doing, uh, uh, but uh, when all the arab countries that have normalized with israel have have done basically nothing uh what the huties have done is is a is a significant act of of uh of solidarity um so yeah it's put it's put pressure uh but but it it obviously hasn't succeeded in in what the what the aim is
10:18 pm
which is to just stop this horror that uh that israel's uh uh committing we'll stop the... yemenie armed forces launched a missile on sunday targeting american navy ship uh, your thoughts on yemen's targeting this ship and other foreign ships and also trying to put pressure on the regime and to stop the genocide and the effectiveness in general of the yeminies, and they continue to say, no matter what happens to them, uh, they will support their brothers in gaza. what are the yemani uh military uh forces doing is something new, even in new as we never heard of poor country have the ability to do navy de fac to navy blocade, as i said against some of the strongest militaries in the world, from the zinis entity to the united states of america, to the british, to the all the anglo-saxon gang, the brit the the
10:19 pm
americans brought to them, and to their dism those people, the united states of america fought against yemen for. eight years using the proxies, saudis and the emirates and were defeated, and they the one who ask for seas fire with yemen, after they seen the impact this yemen is done on the industries in saudi arabia or on the gulf region, so the united states of america didn't learn the lesson, today the united the yemen is using high tech as i said, but cheaply produced in yemen. uh technologies, military technologies, they are targeting the american uh navy ships, they targeting the scienist ships, they targeting the british who's and the last one was a british ship carrying crude oil to the zinis entity and all of that, so yemen is showing its muscles in the area and the united states
10:20 pm
of america which supposed to be the super power of the world cannot face yemen. practically they they target yemen, yemen is losing some civilians and losing some infrastructure, of course, but this is power tilting exercise, the yemen shown, and the yemen showed it's they have a formidable fighting well and locally produced technology which can target them, this is how gna have huge impact since couple of days ago the qatari they they declared they are not gonna send their their gas, liquid form of natural gas through the red sea, that means it's europe won't have that liquid gas, which is they don't have it as well europe or from the russians, so they got have to wait till get the americans supply more from their natural
10:21 pm
gas to europe, that's will increase the prices that will add to the inflation apart as well the the root which is the ships taken now around africa, europe is adding two weeks more or or even sometimes three weeks to the journey of the ships and adding huge cost of increased double or triple in the insurance services, so this is the european find themselves again like they failed for the ukraine war and that infected the the their own economies in europe and this as well gamble which they followed the united states america in it showed they gna pay heavy price for it. this genocidal camp doesn't care, it seems and they don't care their own population will suffer or not. this is what the people in europe are aware of. i had the chance in the streets of ireland and the uk and of course gna be in the united states of america. the the demonstration was shouting
10:22 pm
for yemen to turn another ship around. people are lifting the flags of yemen all over. this peace of europe, because yemen showed, it is a country who stand by humanity, a country stand against genocide against these hypocrate criminal genocidal powers in europe or the usa? well, if in the meantime we have us led axis increasing its support for the genocide, they've sent more weapons, even troops to support the zinanis regime, and in the meantime the us lead front has not demanded a ceasefire and standing... in front of it and not allowing it, and has allowed palestinian blood to continue to be spilled. your thoughts on this? mean, does the united states and its front in your perspective, have? any kind of um political credibility or any type of credibility left or your assessment of this? well there clearly uh
10:23 pm
they are participating in genocide and the uh egregious response to the international court of justice calling for uh israel to basically curtail its genocidal policies. the reaction of my government here in canada, they didn't even restate the you know perfunctory statement that that's legal, is legally bound by the ruling, they responded by suspending aid to palestinian refugees, they responded by by deepening the starvation that palestinians are facing in gaza, i mean this is just absolutely... outrageous, cynical, uh, mean spirited, i mean, and so they have, they have, they're dripping, their hands are
10:24 pm
dripping in blood, i mean there, there's other way to to to consider, all right, well sab, the us is pointing the finger at iran for all the attacks by the resistance in the region, iran says resistant groups make their own decisions, some american officials are calling for an all-out attack against iran, your thoughts. you see the war in gaza itself showed globally the impact of this american bring back genicidal war in gaza and we witness today the the world order start to shift from unilateral to multilateral and when i mean by unilateral to not even like before the soviet union and of america no today you're gonna see china, russia, iran, united states of america, maybe another power as well, so iran in its own as a power in the region, it's not even becoming a regional
10:25 pm
power now, it's a global player iran, and the united states of america, if it's gonna try to resort to blame iran for the failures and for its involvement in supporting genocide, its own people criticized, criticized united states of america before the iranian. people before the people even in the middle east, people seeing this criminal ruling elite in the united states of america, what's doing, and whenever they try to target to involve, they cannot wait a war in iran since there are a lot weaker than even to be to be able to handle the amenies let alone the iranian, and it's not able to handle the iraqi resistance or even the part of the iraqi resistance and the syrian resistance. so what what the united states of america is doing, there are a lot weaker than before, so what we witnessing today is a global change, and that's triggered from gaza, people seeing
10:26 pm
what's the people in palestine suffering from, and it's become very clear what sizes you standing on, you want to start with the criminal genocidal forces like the united states of america, or with the decent people who defending humanity like the... iranian, the yemenis, the syrians, the iraqies, that kind of people, and we can see in the globe from south africa even to ireland, there is lot of forces who's gathered together to support the palestinians, let the ruling elite aside, those people are controlled by multinationals who always make the money out the suffering of the people of the world, on that note, so sorry to interrupt you, on that note, we're out of time, appreciate both of you being with us, thought. and west asia expert out of belfast, evenler, author and political activist out of montreal. thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight, i'm signing out for myself and
10:27 pm
other group right here in tehran, hope to see you right here next time. welcome to the palestinian village of alakaba. it's in the northern jordan valley. you think life here would be relatively simple and uncomplicated? the palestinians in areas see uh that the way that israel treats them is hostile population, it makes them their lives as difficult as possible. those palestinian bidwin families who live in in almost about 52 communities without any kind of service.
