justice country world justice justice justice justice nation. hello and welcome to press tv spotlight, i'm mershimy, thanks so much for being with us. over 10 months have come and gone, and those of entities which are supposed to prevent genocide, are crimes against humanity taking place uh without severe repercussions and deterrance have greatly failed the palestinian people, instead of stopping the israeli. genocide against palestinians, the

united states and its european cohorts continue to give blind support to the zianist regime. israel has committed one massacre after another in gaza, including the recent targeting of a school, where displaced men, women, and kids were blown to bits during morning prayer. washington's response to the continued holocaust has been to send more money, equipment and support for the zionist regime. we're going to take a look at the continual travesty that's taking place in gaza and the support by the western hejamonic front. i like to welcome my guests to the program. said mosan abbas, journalist and political commentator out of london and said maz shah, executive director of center for islamic law and human rights out of. well,

thank you both for being with us, starting it off in london, and it said moson, i mean, of though the whole western hegemonic front has failed the palestinians, at the same time it appears that it has done everything it possibly could for the israeli regime during this genocide. i mean, your thoughts about that, and what does it really mean? well, first of all, i think the the lies and the hypocrisy. the collective anglosphere has been exposed more in this particular genocide, this particular scenario of war than in any other that i can, i can really remember, there's nothing in living memory that i can recall really lays bear the hypocrisy, the lies, the the genocidal intent, the the the fraud that is really what we now know as western neoliberalism in.

reality what we've got is set of global international structures created by this this anglosphere which are not fit for purpose which are clearly operating largely in in of cahoots with the anglesphere interests but what we're also seeing is that the death and the dying the death nail the dying of this the dominance or the hegemy of the the imperialist in west asia is being kind of really played out for us. day by day and we're seeing it also uh of course undermine their reputation globally, we're seeing their institutions gradually losing the the trust of uh certainly the global south and well beyond, we're seeing the allies and those earthwile puppets of these uh these uh anglic regimes, the the neoliberal imperialism now losing confidence more and more that the lights of saudi arabia for instance and the rest of the gulf nations are just one set of... examples of where faith is being eroded

and so what we're seeing is really empire in decline and i think the beginning of the end can be cited of not only the empire but of course it's israeli occupier colonial settler outposts the last outpost of imperialism in the formal sense that we can we can really point it is a throwback from colonialism it is neocolonial outfit there in israel they are racists they are apartide regime. which is held bent on genocide and now the world absolutely knows it, but they also know that it's the west that's financing and supporting and engaged fully in this genocide. all right, well said moaz, mean, do you find it ironic that the us is trying to punish those who are standing up to the zionist regime or is it natural because in reality this is a us zionist genocide? okay, it seems like unfortunate. fortunately our video is frozen

there in karache, can you hear me? happened earlier this week, yes, i can hear you, can you hear me? yes, yes, please, yeah, you you made you reminded me of camala harris uh and what happened in her oh no i'm not sure that's good for me but go ahead and the the serelity of of that rally where some protesters had come in the rally protesting on the sea spire and camala harris says oh i'm with you guys the president and i are working but we need to focus on the race that's the surreal nature of the the this response is that we have hund people died at moing prayers like my fellow uh just mentioned um you know where women and children have been the victims of that, you have hamas's leader who was negotiating, assassinated in iran earlier, and now all the sudden they want to come back to the peace talks table on august 15th uh negotiating new

terms, you know this is this and and the united states is actually behind that as well, the united states called on that meeting, and can you imagine you just killed a negotiator uh, you're still bombing... and instead of saying okay, let's go back to where we started, now you want to restart the negotiation, which clearly indicates that the support of the united states of america to israel is very clear, they are not sincere in this process to come through with mediated solution, and this is something that we're repeatedly seeing again and again, these half-hearted attempts, the gaza pier, the so-called biden's red line of raffa if you remember, all these things have been crossed. so in reality these are empty words with no meaning and we see the reality in israel society is erupting right now, not just on the protest against netanyahu, we have ultra orthodox protesting their essence as well, and then you have far right people or it's completely out of control, unless as my

fellow said this is the last straw, internally we see a collapse, there's no sense of direction, we have netan yahu kicking out his own ministers and talking against them and their... it's it's a mess, it really is a mess and it's really, it's like israel can do anything and get away with it and and still be able to kind of just say, okay, let's just do this, and this goes to show at the end of the day that these hegemonic powers, as you stated, have no real interest in in establishing peace in palestine, that's where, that's that's the bottom line that i get, no honest re concern for that, okay, no, we said mosen, i mean to washington, do you think that palestiny? and lives are worthless otherwise, why after the zinanis regime attacked the altbin school and killed over 100 more people with the us release 3.8 billion more dollars to the regime? well, i don't see any difference

american regime and the uh the the the the regime in, it's just a simple case of semantics in in the sense that israel is on the front line uh doing the raping, doing the killing, doing the genocide, doing the infanticide, you know, killing children, they've already killed, uh, i would estimate probably in the region of 60 to 70,00, the figures which lancet report points to, are far more accurate in my opinion about the scale of the genocide that's gone on and the scale of infanticide, you see, it's not just these little figures of of 14 or 15 thousand which were previously been given, you have to take into account what the lance report says is actually the impact of disease, the impact of famin, the impact of malnutrition, the impact of psychological damage and trauma to all the individuals in palestine and the early deaths because of the lack of medical care, just take one example, adds to the actual direct killings of palestinians by

bombs and missiles, and of course we don't even know how many people are buried under the rebel rubble, they don't even know, they probably don't have accurate count of that, so i think the figures are far darker, far more dystopian, far... more dismal than we we we realize, but the the americans know these realities, they continue to support them, and in in in reaction to this uh, what you got to remember is heizbollah have been firing weapons at the israelis, they've not targeted civilians, the iranians have fired missiles and drones, not one civilian was killed by by the the last uh return of fire by iran, the yemenese have been doing the same, they've been hitting the port. and they've been hitting military targets and cargo which is being taken to israel for the the killing of children. this isn't this is what you call moral war by the axis of resistance. what you got the the from the israelis and the american is absolutely the most henous,

immoral, disgusting war that has ever in my living memory certainly taken place and i think i mean i'll talk talk more about iran's response because of course the psychological uh pressure which is... the israelies are on, which my colleague hinted at the internal collapse, one of the extra reasons why that collapse is accelerating is that iran is waiting and the the the the the... promise of the return of the the the revenge attack for killing or extrajudicially uh killing uh ismail hinia the leader of the hamas movement is yet to come and the israelis are absolutely panicking now because they know that that response is going to be very very substantial. well let me stay with you said most and i mean just what you've just talked about that the response by iran and the effect i mean we we know. that iran has said that it will definitely respond and attack israel. i mean, your assessment of the

response by the us uh to iran's uh, what it promised, the upcoming reciprocal response, and it said that the us said that it's sending another naval carrier to the reg to the region. i mean, it is absolutely amazing that uh, that we see this type of response. i mean, your your take. well first of all, what we've got to remember is that the americans absolutely said nothing about this extrajudicial killing, in no way was israel reprimanded for uh violating iranian sovereignty, in no way was israel reprimanded by any of the global institutions for actually uh attacking iranian soil uh just as they didn't do it when uh the iranian consulate was destroyed in syria the last time iran responded and of course iran has made it clear that actually there's been no... response and the americans rather than uh if you like uh responding in a way where they would uh pull israel back or tame it in

some way by punishing it through uh putting an arms and bargo even even temporarily they can't even do it temporarily they've been flowing those arms absolutely daily thousands of tons of it and billions of dollars of it but they've not even done that to israel they've not rained it in they've not exercised any of their sort of withdraw of the veto against israel. attack, they've encouraged israel, in fact even more, they're encouraging the more and more, even in spite the fact that they've done this, this act which could literally trigger a world war, it literally could be the beginning of much wider war, it's only iran, the islamic republic of iran's cool, calm, circumspect and very considerat responses which is preventing that world war. iran doesn't want to cause global economic collapse, it respects... the concerns of its allies like russia and china and respects other nations

in the region and their instability and sovereignty issues that will result as of as of this regional stroke world war that could ensue and uh it wants israel to carry on trying to start this regional world war which is exactly what netanyahu has been doing so iran is holding back because even when it's responses it's holding back in a way where it's still being a responsible member. the international community, in return, what israel and america and the british are doing is they're lighting the fire even more, they what seem to want this regional war, but none them is willing to see uh come forward and and take head on, these uh these these warships turning up, a warship these days can be taken out by any number of hypersonic missiles that will surround uh israel and in the return uh in the in the response that iran gives it could knock out all of this uh uh american uh naval fleats whether it was the fifth, sixth or whichever one it is, they could knock them all out to be honest uh, but

they're being responsible, they're trying to give israel and the world a chance to sort this out uh, let's see what happens. okay, stay with me, said morsen, well, said, we have you by phone now, sorry about the technical difficulties, now said, according to international law, does iran have the right to retaliate, and and if so, if it does, then why do we see the uk, germany and france calling for restraint now from iran? well, this is kind of a catch 22 question, because the reality is everybody in in the world down to even the children know that israel committed that act in tehran. everybody knows that, but israel has not come out openly to accept that, there's still investigation to figure out how it happened, um, and so in reality. we haven't legally speaking identified a culprit, now if we find some sort of evidence that there was an

israeli agent or a piece of a missile from israel, then we can then connect the dots, so that is a technical issue, but because this is kind of like an open secret, clearly the and this is the giveaway, the western nations jumped on, hey iran, please don't do anything, which which is kind of the giveaway, and goes to show that israel's completely uncontrolled behavior, the americans aware of it, and this is how israel's acted like a spoiled child, just going around really, nearly doing what it wants and and to be honest, the everybody was pushing towards the mediated solution, the cease fire, the un efforts, biden's plan um with the ruling of the icj that came in and all the sudden here comes israel, the spoiled children, i won't accept this and creates another ruckis and tries to shift it to the southern lebanon, trying to shift the conversation from gaza, and then still doesn't want to really let go of gaza, so then they go ahead and bomb and kill hundred people and still get away with it, and then

we're back to square one trying to build ourselves up, i mean how many more hospitals need to be bombed, how many schools no need to be bombed, how many more people need to be? assassinated to get back to where we were right before ismaya haniah was was killed so let me let me just jump in here let me jump in here so you believe that the israeli regime uh took this in its own hand that the united states did not have knowledge of the regime uh assassination of or wanting to assassinate ismail hannah from the prior to it happening or tell me what you're saying yeah no absolutely i i i come completely believe this uh that the americans were not aware and and i'll give you a reason why, because when israel wants to use the american uh shield, they use it to the maximum extent, and then when they realize you what, we can't get anymore out of this, so just let's act on our own, they can never say no to us, no matter what we do, we can wipe out hospital, we can bomb people while they're praying, we

can do all this and america can't do, red line rafa, let me cross it, and that's what they've been doing, they've been... over the united states and the united states has sent that blanket check continuously, which goes to show united states has absolutely no power over israel, it does not, it's it's like it's like completely cannot even control itself and stand on it, it shows a weak in united states, i cannot tell you how weak the united states is today in the middle east crisis and that's why china is filling in that gap and it's realizing that the americans can't seem to get this right, and this is what i'm really thinking that... what is israel is really afraid of is another superpower getting involved and as we spoken earlier in july the palestinian groups are united in beijing and they have a hamas is as an ideology, the people of palestine stand with them like other and that's why hamas turned down the western approach that we're going to come back to the negotiation table and start all over again, they're like, no, you killed

our negotiator, what sort of, what do you want us to tell our people, you just killed a hundred of them while they were praying, women and... children and you want us to come back and restart negotiations, you got to be kidding me, you know it's absolutely unreasonable to to even request, and just what israel says, israel said if they don't come back thursday then we're going to decimate gaza continuously, that's their response, so now you see how they're trying to flip the script, this is the game that israel has been playing from the beginning, and and guess what, they don't care about the americans, we know about the uss liberty incident, when they want to do something they go ahead and do it, it doesn't matter who they have to kill to get there, okay? stay with me, let me get said moson back in on this conversation. said moson uh, those three european countries that we just talked about, um, said that if iran responds, it will jeopardize cease fire talks. i mean, what is your perspective about how these regimes are using ceasefire talks to say that iran should not retaliate, and i mean, where were they

when the israeli regime killed the hamas leader and also the hezbollah commander? well uh, let's first get couple of things straight about these european regimes. europe, the european uh, union and all all of the the individual nations within it pretty much uh will support israel until the very last palestinian is exterminated. as far as they're concerned, there is no need for palestinians to be there. uh, if gaza goes down, there's no guarantee that the west bank won't be wiped out next. they're already attacking uh the west bank where they uh... supposedly didn't have a problem, so this of hamas, so this wasn't just of course a hamas issue, israel has an issue with the entire palestinian population, and the europeans uh know this, and the europeans themselves of course are are, well the british certainly are are responsible for this entire mess really with the way they set this whole uh situation up, but now uh of course the europeans are just the um, they're just the

the tail of the americans and then behind that the the the the wider corporate. industrial military complex and whatever else is going on there, and what do these people support? we've seen over the last week maria, we've seen uh israel in debates where a large number, maybe majority of israelis actually uh favor the idea of rapes, they've been literally discussing whether it's okay to rape a palestinian if he's in custody, they've been sodomizing and raping palestinian uh palestinian prisoners, they've been murdering and killing them, torturing them, uh, this is all what the european union, the so-called democracies, the so-called champions of human rights, the guys who talk about women's rights all over the world and export revolution. export color revolutions over women's rights, where are they now? where are the women's rights who are getting raped, where are the rights of the prisoners who they bleat on about when they talk about iran or venezuela or any

nation that doesn't bend to their will or russia for that matter? where it is, where are are these international bodies on all of these issues? where are these women's movements that wanted you know freedom for women, the their bodies and whatever else they wanted to free, the truth of the matter is that this is a absolute hypocris. "as i said from the beginning, europeans have blood on their hands along with the americans, i personally think that these intelligence agencies, the deep state of europe and america and israel, i think they're one, i don't see the difference, i don't see when they do these killings or anything they do, i don't think it's outside of their knowledge, because the zionists we know through pegasus and through their lobbies and through the way that the unit 8200 and most of the intelligence networks of israel and mossad, the way they've infiltrated the western establishes." men you can say it or they've been actually let in, there's been no resistance from the western deep state to prevent more and the getting into the cyber

tech world, getting into their their systems, dubious about the complicity levels of western governments and israel, i think they all know what's going on, i think i would i find it very difficult to accept that israel's assassination or these ex judicial killing. wasn't within the knowledge of the cia or wasn't within the knowledge of the mi6, i think that they all very well knew, but they turn a blind eye because israel does the dirty work that they don't want to be seen to be doing on the frontline okay, stay with me, stay with me, said morsen, well said moz uh us secretary of defense lloyd austin has said that washington is committed to israel and will do whatever it can to defend it, i mean what exactly does this mean, going back to something you had said earlier, is it that design is totally control the us or is it that israel is simply an extension of the regime in washington? you know, i'm just

gonna add just to answer your question and continue mr. sayad mohen's comment, america will support israel until the last american soldiers dies in that cause. that's the level. forget palestinian debts, they're willing sacrifice their own for this cause, and that's the reality. they will get involved in a regional conflict is. will get them and they will commit to that, and that's the sad reality, so when you hear this comment that we will defend them to the tilt, this is a repeated mantra we have continuously heard for the past 75 years pretty much since israel's existence, and i think this is this is something that that really gets kind of old now, what are you defending, are you defending as mr. mosan abbas accurate rape, are you defending the killing of children, are you defending the bombing of hospitals, the same standards, that you're holding and pointing fingers at russia about uh these allegations against them of bombing hospitals and attacking civilian infrastructure over here you're you're pin drop silence what are you

defending and so here we clearly see politics has entered the fray of international law sadly and therefore the whole international kind of regime this idea of a way global harmony and we're all going to live together and the un is going to be a happy go lucky place clearly is now faltering at "and it's at the worst stage than it's ever been, and it's really about anybody's game right now, and this is the fear, this is the fear in iran, actually, as my my colleague has said, it's being more responsible in this time, in this time than any other involved in this conflict, and on that note, so sorry, but i'm out of time, i appreciate both of you being with me, said mosan abbas, journalist and political commentator out of london said muaz shah, executive director of center for..." law on human rights out of karache and thank you viewers for staying with us for another spotlight. hope to see you right here next time. goodbye.

the situation uh between russia and ukraine and israel and palestine is not comparable, you may remember that the suspension of the russian. olympic committee is based on the fact that the russian olympic committee annexed sports organizations on the territory the national olympic committee of ukraine.

his reinforces. kill more than 140 palestinians across gaza in a single day with the genocidal war's death toll now during 39,900. divisions are deepening within israel's war cabinet with regime's minister of military affairs describing benjamin netanyahu's promise of total victory in gaza as nonsense. an irania president tells a german chancellor european countries should take action.
