banyak. "all is not well with palestinians in the occupied territories, even though the iof regime forces have withdrawn from..." west

bank for now, the numbers deaths at over 20 false pail to the level of infrastructure damaged to areas like ginene for example or the tulk refugee camps. this top of how an american turkish citizen was killed by israeli sniper. meanwhile, the gaza strip's death toll continues to mount as the iof killing spreed continues to get is backing from the us. this is what the us claims cease fire talks are still alive, even saying it may negotiate with hamas without the participation of the israely regime. is that even possible? just one of the questions we'll be asking our guests in this edition of the spotlight. first let me introduce them. alice roth child, author, activist and filmmaker, joins us from seattle, washington. also joining us is sarah tuesdale, human rights activist who joins us from manchester. welcome to you both, alice, rothchild, i'll first start with you. this west bank jene withdrawal is what's uh, one of the news when

it comes to the occupied territories that the israel regime forces have actually pulled of out. uh, can you please tell us what you think about that? first of all, and also if you can't put that into context for us, because when we take a look at the occupied territories, the types of violations that have happened, which i'm sure you're very familiar with, has been uh occurring for the past decades and the past 10 days, it was kind of like what has happened in the past, but a warp speed. i think that's a correct. i keep referring to the gasification of the west bank, and so what we see is similar kind of tactics being used in jane particularly, but also tokaram and tubas, with massive amounts of military might and destruction and of killing and ripping up roads and interfering with healthcare and just the same kind of things that have been going on in gaza, but this has happened in the west bank before, in the early 2000s, jane was massively attacked.

israeli forces and this is very reminiscent of that attack only worse, so it's kind of attacks but on steroids, i think you're right, and i think it's uh partly driven by the right-wing government uh in israel that's farther right than previous government, so they have sort of permission to commit genocide, permission to commit war crimes of from the top, indeed, well let's move to another uh, i guess headline grabber, and that is how uh there's been this... unfortunate on death of this american turkish citizen uh that is making the news quite a bit sarah truusdale, i'd like to get your impression on that, and uh it's somewhat uh incredible in the sense where you have this unfortunate death happen, but yet we have in the tens, sometimes more than hundred deaths happening in the gaza strip a daily basis. um, i would like to be sensitive obviously towards the uh 'um woman who's been shot in

the head by the illegal occupation um, but like you so every single day now, i speak to people on the ground, i have friends in palestine every single day'. people are dying because the legal ocupation as do apologize um cutting off water and food so the thing that makes me very angry about the situation is um why does one american life mean more than 40,000 and karas other wives that that's the that's the answer to that question they say like you don't in "we had doctors come back from gaza and they said that they'd seen toddlers with two snipe wounds, that's not unintentional, they have killed this journalist for a reason, and um yeah, it's

the illegal occupation are getting away with war crimes that i'm not sure that anyone else in history has ever gotten away with without being called out, so that's the my answer to that question, i want some respect for the - because okay, well uh, let me get your impression, alice, rothchild of this incidence, um, we're looking at the fact that this is this is not the soul incidence that has happened, perhaps you can give us some comparisons maybe to put it into context for us, as they say, and uh, also how and why would israel regime forces, um, from what we understand, there was, it was sniper who did this or israel regime? it doesn't matter, but she was shot in the head. i've actually seen the video and it's quite gruesome, and it's quite sad that you have people like her who wanted to give so much for the palestinian cause to be taken out in the form and manner that they have. well, there is pattern of this. mean, we have shirin abula, we have

rachel cory. mean, there has been repeated attacks on people who carry american citizenship who are working in solidarity with palestinians, or who are palestinian americans working in solid. with palestinians and i think i cannot speak for the brains of an israeli soldier, but the messaging is that these people need to be taken out as an example so that other people will be afraid to do what they're doing, and i think the message also is that they don't matter, um, that it is very clear that there's a huge amount of anti-palestinian racism within israel and within the united states and elsewhere, and so it comes out in these kind of horrific um sniper attack. that are are clearly deliberate ut sniper attacks are also deliberate against palestinians, as our previous speaker mentioned, but i think it's a warning and it's a devaluation, and it also means that israeli soldiers are feeling threatened by internationals, by journalists,

because huge number of journalists have been killed both in gaza and in the west bank, so anyone who's reporting on the ground is a threat, because then the international community might, might, might begin to pay attention, well uh, the problem uh that one the problems that exist over here um is the fact that you have this uh saratrusdel, this far right cabinet with these extreme um thoughts of uh murdering palestinians, the likes of smotrich and the likes of ben gavier who have advocated for the death of palestinians in ways that uh one would never think even though the israel regime has stooped to certain laws they have... really brought that to new lows uh, maybe you can uh tell us, is this something that's topp down when it comes to the way that the israeli regime forces are uh killing palestinians, murdering them, whether it's in the west bank, which uh has grown up to about 700 plus

from october the 7th or in the gaza strip? i'll tell you something is an english person as a white english leader, i have never been more shamed. of my country, i have never been more ashamed, international war has been ripped up, ripped up for an occupation, because we are obviously doing this on television, i've been trying to keep calm, but the things that we are seeing, the things that we are seeing, i saw a video last night the occupation force and we've got palestinian prisoners face down on the floor, the nazis, the nazis, it's that simple, it's that's simple, i get told to not uh, like sir, we need to calm down, blah blah, i'm a white english womanan sat in england and i am watching that, and i woke up the other day, and the first thing i saw was dead child, a

child died in in in palestine because of fear, because of fear, because the amount of bombs that they dropped, and then i've got starmer and sunak, both in the house of commons going and tsunat's going... the chief rabbi is going to be very upset that we've cut off the. i would like to point out um that our governments aren't supposed to openly work for foreign. entity, i'd like to point out that under international law, everything that israel is doing, israel is not a country, it's an entity, everything they are doing is a war crime, is a war crime, i have never seen anything like it in my life, i've never seen anything, the lining children up to take them to concentration camps, and people are picturing it and going, but cuz the palestinian children that's okay, is it? so i'm sorry, i've even forgotten the question, the... i do apologize, i do apologize, we are watching the worst things

we've ever seen, we are watching war crimes on levels that every single day, blow my mind, we are watching this, and yeah, i, i, i don't understand how the international community is just watching it, and i certainly don't understand how america has got the cheek to stand up, and in my country, i'm english. dama, both of the the prime minister who got less than 20% of the vote i might point out and the opposition are both stood up arguing about who can defend this illegal occupation more, sure, so i can't remember the question, but my answer to the question is the entire international community should be rising up against this because they are literal nazis, well um thank you uh, i forgot what the question was myself because i was listening to you so it's quite all right. that's okay, i mean uh, you know, when you hear the things that our guest from

manchester said, alice roth child, um, perhaps we think that we have reached a new level of uh, how war crimes are being committed, and the grusome details in the actions uh that are that constitute war crimes, but there's always for some odd and sad reason a new peak that we see, one of them was uh, released by an organization, it's a magazine, plus 972, i don't know if you read uh what happened there, and it came about when uh there was this video played by another channel about um how these palestinians walking on the shoreline of the gaza strip, they were just walking and they were taken out, they did a investigation and it turns out that uh well let me read the title, it starts with a quote, the title of his entry, i'm bored so i shoot, the israeli army's approval are free for all violence in the gaza strip and it goes down and recounts

some of these uh regime forces of how they go into no go zone and they just routinely just start killing people shooting at homes, mean this just is is another low in the way that the occupation forces are carrying themselves. i don't think the world is aware of maybe this, but i think this regime is losing any type of obvious. accreditation that it may have had with the non-believers, let's say, do you think that's the case? well, i would love for that to be the case. i think that first of all, there is a willful blindness in the international community and for instance in the united states, about what's happening, you can know if you want to know, um, and if you have um doubts about what's going on, you just have to listen to what the israeli leadership is talking about, because israeli leadership, particularly bengavere and smart and his those types, use

very racist genocidal kind of language, and they refer to palestinians as animals, and they talk about anakba too, and just their language is genocidal, so if the top leadership is talking that way, then the lower soldiers get that message that these people are human, that they are your enemies, that you can kill anyone you want, that every child is a potential homost. terrorist, i mean that's the the language that's coming out of israel, and so that's the the environment in which these soldiers who are committing horrific war crimes are functioning. um, now is that going to change the world view? i think we have to look at all the different forces that create opinions within our planet, and it is quite clear that there is huge uh industry to promote israeli messaging, to go after people who are... challenging israeli messaging, there's a massive military industrial complex where you

know lot of people are making a lot of corporations are making a lot of money off of this war. if you look at what's going on on campuses in the united states, over the summer, many, many campuses have put together really um worrisome, pretty horrific rules about what students can do and can't do, and lot of it is focused on defining protests against the israeli government as inherently. semitic, so there's a massive pushback going on um in that side of the community and how this is all going to play out, i don't know, but i sincerely hope that um there is a... uh rising awareness in people who have power and in the people who don't have power but can influence the people in power to change their attitudes towards the israeli government, which is definitely uh gone so far field, but i don't think um, it's a surprise. if you look at the whole hundred year history of this country, um, there are a lot of

different versions of the history, but one of the themes has been that jewish set. have a the right to live in historic palestine and remove, displays, skill, whatever the people who were there before they got there, and so this is the sort of ethno-nationalism of zionism as a political movement, and so what we're seeing now is in some horrific way the fruition of the zionist dream, of you know final expulsion, genocide, destruction of palestinians in the territories, and so i'm not shocked. because it's the end point of that ideology and only when uh the jewish community in particular, but the international community in general faces the inherent racism of zionism and the fact that zionism is based on harming palestinians that we're not going to see a turn around in attitudes until people really deal with that. so is that is that the point that we have

reached based on what our guest there said sarah trustdal that maybe this is the point that the israeli regime and it's uh called leaders are taking advantage of what has happened, what they have executed with the genocide, that they want to get rid of all the palestinians from their homeland, which is a force displacement, a war crime, is that the point that we're looking at? i think we're all pretty much aware of what the point is, netan yahu stands there with his map, his map where palestinis wipes out, again i will try and become, i'm a white. woman, i had a pen fund in jerusalem as a child, palestine is palestine, and we have watched them take palestine and not just take palestine, but then subjugate. i would like someone to answer the question to me, why are palestinians paying for the second world war? we all understand that everyone went through a holocast, but why are the palestinians paying for that? no one can ever answer that

question. i get very irritated about this. when october... sev happened and it was like, oh, like, i don't know how many settlers died. god forgive me, i don't, god forgive me, i don't care. our people have been under apathide and and they put children in military prison, and they've done it for 80 years and every single thing they do, you work now, they literally put war crimes on tiktok, we're going to blow up mosk, we're going to blow up a school. we're going to block, we literally today i saw the lining people in the west bank in the west bank, there's no come as in the west bank, the wining people up to take them to concentration camps, and you're telling me this is moral army are you, you're telling me this is moral armor, brother, if anyone can

look at what is going on in palestine right now, i would love right, three questions for people, why are the palestinians paying for what? the nazis did in the second world war, why are you okay with people lining children up for concentration, concentration camps man, and then you've also i saw a little girl and she went we've told the whole world that we suffering and no one cares because the palestinian, so again i've gone off subject but i don't care, the illegal, it's an illegal occupation, does anyone ever want to point out the fact that hamas under international law are entitled to armed self-defense? does anyone ever want to point that out ever? sure, sure, those are valid points. do apologize, i'm so sorry, no, no, that's okay, but i'm so angry at this world that's watching this actual genocide of children, and like why is this an argument, why is this a like? i don't want to hear about your arguments, stop bombing them, stop bombing them, stop bombing children, it's not

hard, i apologize and i'll shut up, no, no, that's okay, we have we have more time, so i'm going to ask you questions. so please um keep with your train of thought, i'm so angry, like children are dying, if you will be angry, you have every right to be angry, alice roth child, in the middle of everything that's going on, we still have the us and the us president joe biden, he's still the us president who says that the ceasefire talks are 90% there, you know uh, anthony blincan, us secretary of state, we're almost there, and uh, it it's now, i don't know how many times they've been at this, uh negotiations or so-called negotiations, but now it's reached a point where the latest news on this, that's my question to you, is that the us may exclude? israel from the talks and directly negotiate with hamas, um, what do you think of that? is that even possible?

well, i think ultimately, whoever is negotiating a ceasefire has to talk to hamas, i mean that's like bottom line negotiation. i do think that biden and um his uh pals are hallucinatory a bit, because uh, they talk about having a cease fire and meanwhile they continue to send billions of dollars of weaponry to... so the messaging isn't consistent with the actions, so the israelis have no uh reason to uh go for cesfire because they're still getting all the goodies from the united states. the other thing we have to realize is that netanyahu has some very strong reasons not to want to cease fire because if he uh calls for cease fire his right-wing coalition will fall apart and then he will lose the election and then he will go to jail. "and i think he's really lot of this um dancing around is related to netanyahu's desire to cling to power no matter what um because he doesn't want to face the music um

the other thing is that there's a huge um debate going on amongst israeli security so you know the same uh day that natanyahu said that the israeli army will never leave the philadelphia corridor which is the uh buffer zone between egypt and rafach" gaza, on that same day, his security, one of the security guys said, they are willing to negotiate on philadelphia carter, so they're not even talking each other in the cabinet, um, so with all that descension in the cabinet, um, it's, i think it's hallucinatory to think that they're going to get a cease fire with israel, now if you have a cease fire with hamas and you don't have a cease fire with israel, i don't know what that means, because israel is continuing to dump. thousands and thousands and thousands of bombs on the palestinian people in gaza and now in their bombing in the west bank as well. um, so what's a ceasefire without the aggressor

being part of that ceasefire? i i don't understand that as a, i'm not a negotiator, but just as human being, i don't see how that actually works. um, you know, israel has to be put under huge amount of international pressure to come to a cease fire, and it also has to be have an arms embargo to come to sease. well since you talk about an arms and bar last question of this program goes to you when it comes to the uk and how they are uh at this point uh after much thought it seems now uh only going to cut uh arm sales to israel to the tune of 10% which some say that's just ridiculous why not cut cut it completely why assist the genocidal regime um with arm sales what were your thoughts when the uk made that announcement in less than a minute please? uh, my thoughts in less than a minute is that kstar and sunak both openly and blatingly work for um an illegal occupation that most of the uh uk public want

want the genocide to stop, we want you to stop killing babies. k starmer got less than 20% of the vote in less than a minute, every the opposition and the prime minister, both are war criminals and the country is not behind them. the country is not behind them. "the not behind them, they both stood there, how can we defend natin yahu and the chief rabbi when you're bowing babies up man and the whole country is going, you do not represent me, that's my answer in less than a minute, they don't represent england or most the world. okay, thank you for that, we're fresh out of time, that was sarah truusdale, human rights act was from manchester, many thanks for your contributions, sarah, alice wathchal, thank you, author, activist and filmmaker from seattle washington, thank you to you both." with. we come to end for this edition of the spotlight from the team, it's goodbye, this is for palestine,

in today's show we'll be looking how this global war even extends to the annual emi awards that recognize excellence in television and emerging media, this campaign uh is is uh is something which um which is a feeling and which will will be an indication i think of the uh the general um beginnings of failure of the lobby. bisan oda is a palestinian journalist um who has been covering the war in ghazza from the very beginning. she already won pebody award in the news category. from bad to worse. israeli economy is a war economy. this was

economy keeps sinking, now the west bank has blown up, israel is calling for a gaza style invasion. if the war continues in gaza, if the genocide continues in gaza, there will be a massive impact on the israeli economy, even if they don't go into war with iran. or his bullet, and that could only mean more business closures and losses. israelies are fed up.

your headlines on press tv is. world's unrelenting attacks continue to pound various areas across gaza as death doll from the regime's genocide tops 40,900. thousands of protesters hold mass rallies across the occupied territories calling for the resignation of netanyahu and deal to release the captives held in gaza. and the yemani army shoots down another american mq9 drone while it was carrying out host.
