지역에서는다. 전부는 of 이해라 미래 의료를 위해서 꼭 필요하다고 했습니다.입니다.에도 불구하고. hello and welcome to press tv spotlight, i'm mershimy, thanks so much for being with us.

several international agencies are confirming the dire situation in gaza, according to save the children organization, all 1.1 million children in gaza are facing death by starvation or disease. the world food program stopped aid deliveries to the north because of security concerns and talked about the unprecedented levels of desperation, and the un says that 2.3 million people in gaza are on the brink of starvation. so what do the... these warnings mean if nothing is done and young and old are being starved to death as the world watches the genacidal regime of the zionis and their western partners continue to kill more palestinians, but i like to welcome my guests to this program. out of moscow, a former cia analyst larry johnson. and out of

vermont, research and political analyst christopher hillady, well thank you both for of being with us on the spotlight, it started off in moscow, and larry, how is it that these international agencies can witness the dire situation, even issue warnings about it, but do nothing, i mean, what good are the organizations, unless there are enforcement, they're able to enforce it? yeah, no, i, i... agree, it's truly shocking, what we're seeing is something that's a kin to what happened to jews in the warsaw ghetto and in the lotz ghettos during world war i, and you would think the jews who went through that, or at least the ancestors of those who went through that would have some measure of compassion, some measure of humanity, and instead they're doing the same thing that the nazis did to the jews, shut shutting off access to food. of

"you had images during world war ii of these children dying and starving in the streets, well you're seeing that now, and the problem with particularly for the palestinian children, children are very fragile, i worked my way through college is a respiratory therapy tech, and what we learned back then is that children can get sick and go go down hill very, very quickly, so it's important that they have adequate nutrition, that they have uh that they are properly." they are have adequate access to water and and the fact that israel is denying them that willfully, knowingly and and the rest of the world with the exception of the hootis are the only country that's actually fighting back trying to take action to compel israel to impose sease fire and stop killing the palestinians. okay, well christopher, your opinion that the world is watching regime.

use starvation as a weapon of war, which is a war crime, so what is supposed to happen next with this information? let's say in this little perfect world, um, what is supposed to happen at this point? okay, they're using starvation as a weapon of war, which is a war crime, what happens next? an ideal world, the entire israeli government and all the israeli military officers and non-commission officers would be before an international tribunal for war crimes, just like... in nurenburg or in japan after the second world war, but of course we sadly don't live in a perfect world, we await one, but we don't have one yet, and so as we continue to struggle, we realize that all of these crimes that we are witnessing, war crimes of of horrific magnitude are happening and unfolding before our eyes, and many of the international institutions and structures are powerless in the face of such devastation and such crimes, and so really, what can we do? the only thing

that can be done is the continuing pressure from outside by foreign governments, by populations that are using the boycott divestment instinction. movement, the bds movement, to continue to pressure their governments, their institutions, the corporations that they buy from, their pension funds, to divest wholely from the zionist entity, to completely cut off relations with the state of israel, and to pressure their powers that they have control over, to enact some type of change, but with all of that uh not happening yet or happening a very slow pace, "we sadly are witness to this spectacle of carnage and genocide before us and are relatively powerless. of course we know that the hutis are fighting, hezballah is fighting, many other groups are trying to do what they can, but given the the the relationship of the zionist state with the

united states and with its western partners and allies, it's very difficult to bring justice at this point, but we believe justice will prevail at some point. the question is when?" okay, well larry, as the regime commits these unbelievable crimes every day in gaza and in the west bank, it is also experiencing uh growing pressure from within. your thoughts on that, do you think that the the dessention that is happening inside of the israeli regie will help lead to its implosion? no, unfortunately. i i think what it's going to take, and and what we've seen is israel has withdrawn lot of its combat brigades from gaza. shifted them a little bit out of the west bank and deployed them north on the border with lebanon and syria. i i anticipate as per predictions by general halevi of the israeli occupation force and by public opinion polls in israel that they're

going to launch an offensive operation into lebanon to take on. this is insane on the part of israel. one of the stupidest things they could do, but the irony is it maybe end up turning into the salvation of the palestinian people, because israel is likely to be defeated and defeated decisively if they do this, and uh, so let me just jump in here, larry, let me just jump in here with what what you're saying, so you believe at this point in time or soon that the regime is going to turn more of its attention to the north and attacks. lebanon directly, they want to take on hezbollah, what do you think it thinks that it can accomplish by doing that? they're delusional, they didn't pay attention to what happened in 2006, heavens, they didn't even pay attention to what happened in 1982, you know they were responsible for the massacres at shatila, the

refugee camps there, but hezbalah is a real army, hezbolah is not a collection.

professional military force and they're likely to crush the israeli invasion, that when israel is facing certain military defeat, it will be that which will provide the opening for negot a genuine negotiated settlement where israel will have to forgo its desire to exterminate the palestinians. interesting announce is christopher, your your thoughts on what larry just said, i think larry is correct, i do believe accurately, as he has pointed out, hezballah is not only capable fighting force, but they have had uh combat experience over the past decade fighting against these salafi and wahabi groups in syria supporting the syrian

government in damascus uh and and you know fighting waging a struggle against these us backed forces that were there, whether it be islamic uh state, al nousra uh and and all of the other. alphabet soup of groups that were over there, really what it is now is you have not only a formidable military force, but a formidable with a formidable military... arsenal with technological capabilities, with advanced weaponry and with the capabilities to strike not only the border, but deep into into israeli territory, and so i think that this is critical for us to recognize that the entering of hezbulah into this war fully, not as it has been, very cautiously, and uh, you know, uh, one strike at this base, one strike at that base, we're talking about an all-out war here, if that's what happens, as my colleague points out, um, if that does happen uh, the israeli military is no match for hezbollah, not only in terms of uh, head to

head, but the asymmetric warfare, which they are not ready and capable to handle at this point, it is not you know some roadside bombs, this is going to be a full-on uh struggle that they have not really dealt with in many decades. okay, well larry, as his regime continues to target infants and kids, the palestinian resistance continues to target zionis. soldiers and equipment, your assessment of the resistance now almost five months into this genocide? well, israel claimed that their initial goal was to eliminate hamas. you know, i could understand that it at the outset of this military operation by israel, if they had strictly targeted hamas fighters, they might have had a chance of bringing in some support from government.

excuse in the world to explain the the deaths these children and these mothers that is that is just become the daily story out of gaza and to a less extent in the west bank so israel has disgraced itself, it has lost whatever moral authority it might have pretended to exert, and sad to see it, but it is incumbat upon the world to condemn this

genocide, because that's what it is, this is, this is not a justified military operation responding against particular attackers, this is collective punishment, and that is not right, under any regime in the world, be they a monarchy, democracy, whatever, there is no justification or excuse. for this, well christopher, they're shelling of displaced families, there's a little water of food, there's no medical aid, and basically no break for the palestinian people, and no place safe there, and the regime continues to attack, i mean, do you agree with larry said, is the goal of this regime to kill every palestinian? the goal has always been to kill every palestinian to wipe the land clean, you know, the mythology that this was a land without a people. can only come to pass in reality if the palestinians are extinguished from their land, and this has been the

rallying cry of the far right in israel for many decades. this is not new. what is new is this situation where now you have these very fascistic leaders in power, here i'm thinking of benvir and smotric in particular, and their political parties and their allies of course, who have it as a stated goal that, from the sea to the river is only jewish territory, it's only for the jewish people, it is, there should be nobody else there, and that doesn't only mean muslims, it means christians as well, it means other minorities as well, and so the stated goal is nothing uh, nothing palestinian to remain on that land, and so this attack on october 7th, october 7th provided the perfect opportunity to carry out this... operation which they might not have been able to do uh without goal of... this happening, and so now with it in full

effect, we're witnessing right before our eyes, they are not simply targeting hamas, and as my colleague said, i think that if they had done that, they would have had a little bit more support from some countries that have now turned against them, they are destroying every house, every building, every piece of infrastructure, everything that they can hit, they are hitting with the stated "we will allow for emigration, we will allow you to leave, we will give you any documents you need, but they know that once they leave, they're not coming back, just like after the nak, the 75000." plus palestinians who left who were forced to leave, who were evicted from their land have not returned, that's what's happening today, and that's what we are recognizing, that's why people are saying this is genocide, because it is the cleansing the palestinians from their land, and the problem is how to stop israel from carrying out this fully, and you you've recognized that it's very difficult to do because the us

has protected it for so long, and because israel is an illegal nuclear. power and this provides the cover and protection that it so desires. so what are you saying there with the uh christopher just staying with you what you just said at the end about being a nuclear power? do you think that the regime would use that to threaten for example i don't the americans are home? tell tell me what you mean by that? what i mean is that it's very hard to displace the the the the israeli regime that israel's only salvation. is the fact that it's a nuclear power, that if it had not been a nuclear power that i think many armies would have gone gone in and would have dismentled this fascist state, but sadly because it's a nuclear power, that's its only saving grace by which it holds the saber over its neighbors and the region and says, nobody can touch us, no matter how many genocides we commit, we will reserve the right to use these nuclear weapons, that's

the danger of this zionist entity. okay, well larry, how much longer do you think these western governments and regional puppets can do nothing about this everyday suffering and destruction taking place in gaza. unfortunately, it's all under the israeli timetable. they're going to launch invasion into southern lebanon. i think that's pretty certain. uh, the timing of it remains unknown. once they do that, whatever initial success they might have, might think they have, it's going to crumble. "hezbolah is going to defeat the armored columns that the israelis try to insert, and then they're going to launch a counterstrikes, hezballah has missiles that can penetrate deep into israel that are they haven't used really up to this point, and so they will then cause significant mass casualties in israel proper.

at that point that is going to put the government of benjamin netanyahu in a complete chaos, because they..." provoked a fight that they're not capable of winning and even even with nuclear weapons, they can threaten to use nuclear weapons at that point, but this is like launching nuks a point blank range where it would do as much damage to israel as it could potentially to hasballah or anybody else, so i mean this look we're talking horrific scenario, there is this kind of death and destruction is so needless. so useless and yet personally i can not erase the images of these children, of these women, of these families who are morning their dead and who are trying trying escape the violence and yet israel continues to inflict it upon them, and they're not carrying firearms, they're not carrying

bombs, they're not carrying missiles, it is, it's inhuman, it's unjust, yes i think it's affected, as you said, is inhuman, and it has affected the psychee of anyone humane in this world by this time. well, christopher, what has the regime accomplished with this holocaust from a military perspective? they've accomplished nothing, really, they've accomplished nothing in terms of their stated goals, what they have accomplished is destroying all the infrastructure, killing 35 plus thous palestinians and displacing them, but in terms of in terms. of military in terms of a strategic goal or aims or victory like they're trying to say, they really haven't accomplished anything, in fact they've made the situation far worse for themselves, because now they've isolated themselves politically, they've isolated themselves in terms of the world stage, and now of course they are in a predicament because now they've destroyed all this

infrastructure, and now what's going to happen, they're going to leave almost two million palestinians in gaza with. houses, without water, without fuel, without electricity, for how long? how long will the international community stand for this? and so what people are saying and what many commentators are rightfully pointing out is that this pressure will eventually bring down the government of netanyahu most likely, and what comes next is a government that either will have to take responsibility for the plight of the palestinians in gaza and try to open up and and lesson... the restrictions that have been on gaza, or they will go in the opposite direction and further isolate themselves and further in, add fire and fuel to this situation. but i think that this this holocaust, this genocide that we're witnessing cannot go on for much longer without serious consequences for israel on the international stage and domestically

within israel society, we watched those videos just over the past few days of clashes in many of the cities in israel and many protesters calling for the austing of netanyahu, i think israeli society is boiling as well, what that looks like will show what the future looks like for the... people in gaza and for the people in the region, well larry, the regime has said that whatever it does, it's to protect the israeli regime security, which obviously that's almost an oximoron, but but in general, do you think that this regime now can recover or even survive after becoming the prior of the world? i think it's important to recognize that even if netanyahu goes, despite his toxic... nature and his terrible governance that still the majority of the israeli population support the policies that he has

been following, so even if benny gance, who was considered liberal, in western standards comes into office, he is going to advocate some of the same policies about destroying and eliminating palestinians, so this is not, just simply a change in government in israel is not going to eliminate the threat to the palestinians. the only thing that's going to eliminate the threat to the palestinians is a military defeat of the israeli military. they must be suffer a significant defeat in lebanon, and then it will be at that point that the the muslim nations that surround israel will at least have some bargaining power to compel israel. to accept the palestinians, accept the palestinian state and not not continue to engage in this policy of genocide, which they they they're going to

follow whether it's netanyahu or benigance. okay, well christopher, i mean the regime continues to say as mentioned earlier that it wanted to destroy hamas and of course they haven't been able to do that. on the other hand, would you say that with the crimes that the zionists have committed against palestinians, that it has actually... become the biggest recruiter for the resistance that more and more people realize that they have no choice um when dealing with this regime except to resist and we we hear stories about uh many young people um today who perhaps they didn't even have that perspective before october the 7th but they definitely feel that resistance is the only way after losing all their loved ones and everything that they ever knew. absolutely, i think that after the second interfather for you know in the 90s and the 2000s we were, and into the 2010s, we were told, okay, peace, let's give peace a

chance, let's try non-violent actions, there were many projects and programs in especially in the occupied west bank trying to figure out if civil society could move the needle a just resolution to the ongoing occupation of the palestinian people, and of course what this whole five months has proven to us is that armed resistance is the only way to bring the zianist regime to its knees, that no matter how many uh demonstrations you do, how many uh peaceful sit ins, how many non-violent actions you do, the zionists only understand one language and that's the language of force. okay, you know, so so i think here it's it's necessary to recognize that they have become the greatest recruiter for the access of resistance in history. all right, note, i think both of you for being with me on this spotlight. larry johnson, former cia analyst out of moscow, christopher haloli, research and political analyst out of vermont, and thank you viewers for being with

us on another spotlight. i'm mariza hashimi, hope to see you right here, same time tomorrow, goodbye. the subject of this week's episode of iran tech is behind this a 60 centimeter thick concrete wall inside the neutron imaging laboratory at the atomic energy organization of iran very close to the core of the reactor is kind of imaging system known as neutron radiography that has some very specific use case scenarios where x-ray imaging just doesn't cut it. tune into this week's episode to see how neutron radiography works. either

you're with us or you're with the enemy. لو وافق صدام على كل قرارات الامم المتحده وعلى كل ما تريده الولايات المتحده لكان قد اطيح به كان المفروض عندما يسقطون النظام يسلمون الدوله للمعارضه هم اسقطوا النظام والدوله معا وسلموا المعارضه صراع على السلطتي اول من وجه ضربه للامريكان في العراق.
