10:03 pm
10:04 pm
hello and welcome to pesv spotlight. i'm marica hashimi, thanks so much for being with us. well, on saturday there was an attack on the occupied goldland heights area of majd shams. 12 people who were all jews were killed. the israeli regime is blaming hezbulah for the incident, but the resistance group denies being involved, and the question is, why is the regime trying to blame hezbullah for the incident? is it trying to hide its own responsibility, or is it simply trying to expand the war and get the us and iran involved, or is it a combination of the above? well, stay with us, as we take a look at all of this on the spotlight. i'd like to welcome my guests to the program. out of vancouver, spokes person for the... and out
10:05 pm
of london, journalists and political commentators, sayid mosan abbas. well, thank you both for being with us, like to start the south in vancouver with harlet. now, the israeli regime has accused hazbollah of launching missiles which killed people in the occupied majd shams. hasbullah has of course denied any involvement. i mean, your thoughts on... who is responsibility? because we've seen if heizbullah is responsible for something, they usually do not hesitate to admit responsibility. mean, your thoughts on all of this. yes, thank you, sister marz, salam alaikum. alaikum salam, thank you for coming. um, of course, designist regime is responsible for this for many reasons. one, israel is the occupying. power in golan
10:06 pm
heights. guland heights is a syrian occupation occupied land and israel have been just like they do in palestine from the river to the sea, their policies of racism and colonialism and the theft of the syrian people wealth in the gulan heights including majdal shams. "the second reason is because people of the region and including a large sector even from designist society itself believed the narrative and the story of hazball. hazballah in the past in have made of you know you know have launched missiles that were hit some palestinian family and they apologized. and the palestinian family
10:07 pm
understood that these things could happen, and today we see the response of the people of majdal shams when they kicked the racist israeli. minster smotrige who uh were trying to utilize this incident in order to charge people against the lebanese resistance and against the palestinian people. since when israel cares about the people of syria or syrians being killed, never. i mean, we we we, you know, israel have supported daesh, have provided safe haven for daesh, have treated some of daesh. um let's give some clarification to our viewers because of course israel occupied syria's goland heights
10:08 pm
where mams is located in 1967 and illegally annexed the area in 1981 now the un security council declared the israeli action null involved void and in resolution 497 stated that the act was illegal and that the regime must leave the occupied area immediately. now that was some 43 years ago. mean, isn't the whole problem of all of this when we're looking at it, that the international community is clearly responsible for israeli crimes, first by creating the entity on other people's lands and then by not enforcing uh their own laws. un laws against the regime uh absolutely, well the international community, inverted commas basically means the anglo-zionist empire, other international uh members of that community really matter, all that matters is really when they talk about
10:09 pm
international communities, what they're talking about is their uh plunder interests, their imperialist interests, the anglo-zionist imperialist agenda to control, occupy and plunder and any piece of land they like anywhere, the golan heights is a classic example, of course the the area that's been hit is largely populated by the the dress and of course they are syrians, they are independent people in their own rights, but they've been subjugated without any, you any real pushback from this so-called international community, in fact they've been completely ignored and left to rot, that... compared to say for instance ukraine, you have to bring up the ukraine example, where the the same international community of anglozionist genocidals uh bleets night and day about how how terrible it is that nation like ukraine has been occupied or attacked by
10:10 pm
by the henous russians, those narratives clearly show that it means nothing to these international institutions, their communities because all just they're all just leavers of power for the same zinist money power which is causing most of the devastation around that area, so i would discount international opinion on that on that level, however, the people who have been killed, you have to ask questions, a good question is what will lead automatically 80% to the answer, so why if lebanon, if if hasbullah which has been engaged an ongoing exchange of missiles uh with israel since october the 8th a very extensive level, but have always chosen to attack israeli military targets whilst the israeli military has constantly made no distinction, has been killing civilians, journalists, um, doctors, uh, children, women, anything they find, why now would
10:11 pm
hezbollah change the equation by attacking area largely occupied by by the drews, which aren't even involved in any war against uh hezbulah, and not only that, hezbulah needs the trues walid jumbalat and their cooperation in lebanon, why would they choose that as a target if they were to kill? why would they choose children as a target? when actually the track record is lebanon hezbollah doesn't kill children by way of policy and even usually by accident as far as i know, so but israel does it deliberately and now here is uh is is is crying wolf for something very likely and it seems inevitable, i mean i think has bull said that they try to intercept. some sort of missile and it's one of their interception missiles which has actually landed on these poor children, so you know the reality is the why question uh is big, why why would hezbullah target area of children which isn't even one their primary regions of operation? okay,
10:12 pm
well what about that khalid, i mean as said most said hizbullah, and even jews leader initiative from the jew's initiative galap safe has said that uh the um explosion or the rocket, whatever you want to call it, was actually from israeli iron dome interceptor missile, which often causes damage to both people, and possessions, your thoughts, so you think that's a possibility that this is a flag, false flag attempt by the regime to white intentions in the region, or is it just mishap on their part? well, is israel is responsible on this, israel, it's an israeli intercept missile that goes this, we believe hizballah and the lebanese resistance story, because the experience have shown that for the past 30 years hizballah have credibility
10:13 pm
amongst not just the people i said of the region but in you know even israelelis the public believed more than they believe netanyahu because there is nothing to hide hazballah as your guest have said have a target. did since october 8th, israeli military site, even when israeli soldiers goes into a settlement, or even twice when they try to go into houses that below an arab village, the target were the soldiers, the israelis, they, especially netanyahu wants to use this incident in order to first say that golan hides in israeli land and that they are, these are israeli citizens and wants to
10:14 pm
play on the sectarian line, and we saw that the national trends of dres were supporting the the lebanese resistance narrative and story, and they you don't see israeli flags, for example in these funerals, and even the chance and the... national voices whether in palestine 1948 occupied territories, palestinian drews or syrian jews or lebanese jews for that matter, we saw the statement by walid jumplat and others who supported the lebanese resistance story and said that israel is the criminal party here and we have been seeing for the past 10 months what genocide is and war crimes, in fact the same hour that this happened, israel have targeted
10:15 pm
schools in ghazza, killing over 36 children in school, and there is one thing here, i think that it's really important to see, and that is israel is trying to keep the war, keep the aggression, because this serves netanyahu and... his war cabinet and at the same time they want to drag europe and the united states into escalation in the region because netanyahu understand that seesfire or the sassasion of aggression on ghazza will mean his defeat and he's going to basically go into the dustpan of history he is not going to be able to continue. and his political life is is done and we see that the
10:16 pm
palestinian resistance, the lebanese resistance, the yemenis, the iraqies are actually united front and they have a strategy, and we see that israel is waiting for any incident in order to use it, because they don't have a strategy, they don't have an exit strategy. okay, well said most and after the deaths of the 12 people in... shams, the zanish regime said it would definitely respond to the killing of israeli citizens. i mean, your thoughts about this: first of all, those individuals are not israeli citizens, second of all, it's not as if that they particularly care about the drews to begin with, and third, as khalid said, i mean, we know the aggression that the israeli regime was involved with, and with daesh and others against syria, so... tell me your take on this comment, what exactly is it trying to do? well, netan yahoo, was in the
10:17 pm
us, he was, he's been obviously drumming up financial and military and other support there, and it's interesting how they timed this just as he's busy trying to convince congress and others to back him in a more extended war, that it's exactly right, that the main mission uh of netanyahu. is to enlist the united states, britain, germany, whoever we can get on board to actually directly take part in a in a in a, i guess, a full-on. regional war, he he's absolutely mad in terms of wanting to trigger that, because it doesn't matter to him that that could involve ballistic missiles, maybe nuclear missiles, you know, this could be uh basically the beginning of an armagedden, a world war. now of course the americans realize this, they know that hezbulah is not mucking around, they're not joking when they tell them, look, don't go further than our
10:18 pm
red lines, because it will mean - we will come for you in every way, shape and form, the americans take that threat. very seriously. netanyahu clearly doesn't seem very concerned, but what netanyahu does know is that if he does it himself, goes in on his own, as it were, without the ground support the american military or the naval backup that they have all lined up there against hazbula, that he basically doesn't really stand a chance because he's got an army of uh demoralized novices, young kids who are drafted in by force as conscripts and uh he's got a set of people who are illegal in... a nation where which they colonize and occupied, they have moral fight here, their fight is one of land occupation, they're up against a force which has seen torture, which has seen death, killing, murder, injustice, oppression of the worst kind, and they are motivated not only by that, but they m motivated by the fact that they want justice before allah, they are motivated by very
10:19 pm
divinely inspired if you like, mission to fight for the oppressed and to fight for justice, there's no comparison between the israeli ground army and say uh the hezbulah or the uh the the the iraqi pmus and the yemenies and if it comes to it even the irgc, they they really do not stand a chance a ground war, not only that, they understand that the way that the axis of resistance has been fighting the war in syria and the syrian army itself needs a strong mention because the way that they've annihilated the the israel western back daish and takfiri forces in syria is a lesson and message to them that these soldiers are fully trained in the field and ready uh for action, they're hardened soldiers up against uh israeli kids who like to post tik tok messages for how they've stolen israeli stolen palestinian children's after murdering and mutilating them basically
10:20 pm
so this is what you're face with and netaniau knows this so he needs the americans in this these are the ways the dirty tricks brigader out, they're trying to sort of get the americans into this war. well, what about that? child, i mean us officials are saying that they are concerned that without a cease fire in gaza, a war between israel and the lebanese resistance group hezballah is becoming more likely, and that would cause the crisis to expand throughout the region and get washington more involved in a conflict. i mean, if this is the case, and this is what they're saying, they believe, then why doesn't washington just stop the genocide? against the palestinians right now, the resistance front in general has said that they would stop retaliatory attacks against the regime if the regime stops its genocide in gaza? well, we have to remember that the united states is not a mediator here, the united states is leading these war crimes and genocide against the palestinian people, i
10:21 pm
mean who is arming israel to the teeth, who is covering israel crimes in regional and international arenas who is supporting israel fully, it's the united states and the us is not just complicit in this war crimes, they are actually want to see you know israel victorious, the problem is the us is calculating this in a more realistic way, they're seeing that the israeli army have failed in defeating the palestinian resistance, in achieving all the goals that they set for them. selves to do in ghazza, the only thing they did is is is is killing thousands and tens of thousands of palestinians and destroying ghazza, but on the military objectives and political objectives they have failed. israel have been trying for the past 10 months also to find an alternative palestinian political entity to
10:22 pm
replace the resistance and they have failed, they have failed with other political parties, failed on trying to get some tribes to do that, some of the arab reactionary regimes like the united arab emirates, saudi arabia, you know, egypt, the they fail in all these fronts, and so israel and the united states understand that israel is in crisis, in fact the united states wants to help the zionist regime, not to be, not to take itself and take the united states into a strategy. defeat and especially in case of a regional war, if it breaks out, the united states understand that they will be defeated, and at the same..." time hisballah and the palestinian resistance have been really inflicting real damage on the israeli army. i
10:23 pm
mean, if you look at the israeli internal front, it's divided, it's weak, it's very, you know, not organized, there is mistrust between the army and the political ranks, mistrust between the public and... the their political leadership, and so israel is not exactly in a position where it could force any kind of conditions, they are very, you know, the the their fault, they're failing, and the zionist regime is witnessing an existentialist crisis is not just about not being able to administrate the war, it's not being able to administrate the entity itself, and we see that netanyahu that as he was trying to seek you know us support and more support, he is not really being looked at as
10:24 pm
someone that you know um to be working with or respected even by the united states administration, the us invoy in lebanon, heckstein who have called every lebanese faction. and political party in the last 24 hours and he have heard the same answer, you know, the lebanese resistance is defending lebanon, we believe the uh, hizballah narrative, this war of aggression and genocide against ghazza has to stop, and we think that israel and the united states are marching fast to a strategic defeat in the... a strategic defeat in ghazza, the palestinian people are more united than ever behind their armed resistance, and we are going to start
10:25 pm
seeing new palestinian political front, not just military front that will take the palestinian people into and their struggle into a different level, this is happening and some people don't want to believe that the... united states is retreating, but that's the fact, the empire is retreating. all right, in one minute, said moson, your overall assessment of where this stands right now, do you see this war expanding? these kinds of black operations or psychological operations only happen when you're not achieving the objectives that you set out to, and that's what's happened. israel hasn't got its hostages back, it hasn't defeated hamas, it's not destroyed the tunnel networks that hamas has. hasn't broken the will of the palestinians, it's resulted in a whole new generation now read to join the armed resistance, it's shown that the access of resistance can operate successfully together,
10:26 pm
for the first time the access of resistance has worked as a unit, yemen, even i would say the the islamic republic, syria and lebanon, and of course not forgetting palestine itself, all have been operating and the iraqi pmus, that shows the israelis and the americans that coming into any war uh... regional war in this region is going to result in huge levels of body bags going back to america and to their european destinations and that they should refrain from it, and i think the americans have taken that message, which is why they're dragging the feet. netanyahu is hoping that trump wins the election and he can persuade the next regime in america to do it. that's why he's trying to keep this drum beating. his desperation is clear. thank you both for being with me. barakat, spokesman, spokes person. the movement out of vancouver, said most abbas journalist and political commentator out of london, and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight, i'm marza hashimi,
10:27 pm
hope to see you right here next time, goodbye. i believe that working together we can make history.
