8:37 pm
which imboldens the regime to continue committing brutal crimes. israel strikes on syria left at least 16 people dead and 36 wounded. israel claims it's targeted and iran-back research. facility involved in arms development, but iran's foreign ministry has denied any link with the attacked sites. we don't confirm allegations by some zionist affiliated media about an iranian backed or iranian dependent center having been attacked in syria. قرار دادن. strongly condemned israel's recent attacks on syria as a transnational crime, accusing israel of pursuing dangerous adventures in the region. kennedy also rejected as baseless claims made by the us and europe that iran has supplied ballistic missiles to russia for use in the
8:38 pm
war against ukraine. he argued that western states are the ones that fuel the conflict by sending weapons to one belligerant side. the us and the eu claim to have. and with that it brings us to the end of this world news bulletin right here press tv. thanks so much for staying with us. crisis, devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy, no food,
8:39 pm
no school for gazons. 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 the lobby. bisan hoda is... a palestinian journalist um who has been covering the war in gaza from the very beginning, she already won pebody award in the news category. is
8:40 pm
israel's global power growing or is it on the win? well, it depends where you're talking about. it's power - over the state in the western world is clearly growing, because the state is cracking down on an unprecedented level. on voices of descent to the israeli and the allied western state policy towards what's happening in gaza. i've just met sarah wilkinson. i won't tell you how i met her, because she's on bail and the conditions are that she's not allowed to use the telephone or the internet, not allowed to open a computer. this is a 60. one year old, respectable british activist who has never
8:41 pm
put foot wrong, never broken the law, never been in trouble, but because she's been speaking out online against israeli crimes, she was swooped on by no less than 12 of britain's finest police officers, some of them wearing balaclavas, some of them from the... terrorist squad for a 61-year-old british lady accused of tweets the offended israel. you couldn't make up. unfortunately, you don't have to. you only need to know what i've just told you. you only need to know what happened to richard medhurst, another frequent guest of mine, arrested in handcuffs at heathro airport. he was taken incognito, incommuna. cadow, nobody, neither his parents, his lawyer, his hosts in england
8:42 pm
knew where he was, or even if he was alive or dead. kit klarenberg, another british journalist, guest of ours, arrested at luton airport, held for hours, all his journalistic tools, his devices taken from him, never mind that, the honorable craig murray, a former... british ambassador turned journalist was similarly treated by the police at edinburgh airport and is still on bail, can you believe it? no charge, still on bail, still hobbled, but that's the point of course, now whether israel sent a memo to the british police to the british government, asking for a stepping up on the harass of free speech and free thought in britain is immaterial, either they
8:43 pm
did send memo or the british state didn't require a memo to discern what was the best way to respond to the mounting anger in britain and in all western countries to the netanyahu narrative, and when you lose the battle of the narratives, when you lose the ability to win the argument, the only weapon left is to shoot the messenger, hopefully not yet, literally shoot the messenger, just cut the messenger off from being able to deliver their message. everyone, even me, is subject to algorithmic strangulation, no platforming, shadow banning, and all of the parafinalia that they use, short of arrest to try and
8:44 pm
suppress the message that we are suppressing, that we are putting out, suppressing our ability to talk to the public without having to be strangled by the filters at their disposal, and the reason they need to do that is that we have won the argument, nobody now, no respectable person now can possibly take to a public platform and justify what's happening in gaza, what's happening in bethlehem, what's happening in the west bank and in occupied jerusalem, nobody could do it, so what's the alternative, but to shut up those of us who have won the public relations battle about the true nature of netanyahu's apart. out state, question is, is israel's power growing or is it on the win? let's meet
8:45 pm
our guest today, one of the world's top journalists to see what he thinks, this is have it out with gallaway. afsan ratans is a british journalist, but he's truly global. he is one of the world's most important free journalists. free voices. he's the host of an independent production going underground, which is being broadcast and indeed eagerly awaited around the world, and he joins us now. we are privileged to have you, afsan. thank you for joining us. um, i've just adumbrated number of celebrity
8:46 pm
uh occasions in which prominent british voices have been seized little. is seized by the state, put in irons by the state, which is an indication that they are having traction amongst the public, but it's an indication also, isn't it, that the governments of the west are losing control of the arguments, not just around gaza and the west bank, but also ukraine and other international conflicts, what do you say? yeah, george, it's been a long time coming, hasn't it? over the course of the 20th century, the late 20th century, we saw one journalist, one newspaper, one broadcaster after another censored repeatedly. i remember john pilger telling me, the late john pilger, telling me how often the british broadcast regulator would try to censor his documentaries. this has been going on for a
8:47 pm
long time. now, of course, it's become desperate as they try and seize. you mentioned sarah wilkinson uh this great uh journalist who's alerted uh i'm sure you as well as me with her tweets to uh oncoming news, more and more immediate news about the horrible massacers in gaza that we're seeing at the behest of british european union and american uh weaponry, so it's been a long time coming, now they get more and more desperate, i i actually thought maybe the... next stage as they realize they're losing is to um and maybe britain started it earlier closing down all the libraries, maybe the important thing next for western european nations acting as vassel states for the united states will be to reduce money for education under the guise of austerity so that people and publics won't even understand how to read and even understand arguments,
8:48 pm
maybe that's the next stage of the mind control and totalitarianism of western europe uh which we're seeing so on display with regard to what even uh the international criminal court or whatever believes is plausible genocide? well, i'm so old i remember the international criminal court uh calling for arrest warrants against netanyahu. i'm so old, i remember the international court of justice, the highest court in the world, we were told, giving devastating judgment uh on his. crimes and issuing orders uh to the state of israel uh to sees and dessist and to vacate their illegal occupation of the west bank, jerusalem, gaza, the golan heights and so on, i'm so old i distinctly uh remember nothing happened about that, so the question i'm
8:49 pm
posing really, is israel's power growing or is it on? the win, what's your take? yeah, actually the international criminal court, chief prosecutor kariem khan was on my show going underground and youtube has taken it down. i don't know what he has to say about that. i can't actually remember what the interview was about, but it you know it's known as the international uh caucasian uh court clearly, except for when it was uh acting as nato's uh best buddy over the destruction of yugoslavia uh apart from all the um indictments of a black african leaders daring to defy the world bank in the imf. israel's um israel's power i suppose lies in uh in the nuclear weapons and uh we both of us remember again it was case of censorship as they as they um took poor mordekai vanunu who illuminated to the world the presence of
8:50 pm
nuclear weapons in israel. israel desperately trying to drag the uh biden harris uh administration into a wider war, iran, um, lebanon, syria, yemen, all the neighboring countries, being very careful not to do the bidding of what israel wants it to do, to draw in the biden harris regime, but i mean, i have a something here from from this woman, camala harris, a statement on the release of these dead prisoners that were taken on october the 7th. killed presumably by british, american and united states weaponry, and it reads like it's straight from netanyahu, no mention of even this absurd hostage. deal that's been on the table that blincan has the nerve to talk about, it's literally just tamas are will kill them all, so israel clearly have their complete control
8:51 pm
over washington, they have complete control over rfk junior, over tulsey gabboard, over donald trump, over camala harris, over the dnc, over the rnc, and given western europe is just just marionette part of a continent, they will... do their bidding, um, i mean, what, we're down to tucker carlson really, and his ability to persuade the biden, harris regime, or the, more importantly, the trump uh, perhaps next presidency, no, israel have lot of power, uh, it's only waining power is to do with the words at the un security council coming from permanent members, russia and china, words so far, it is though down to the... naked bones of hard power, isn't it? do you agree that they have lost their soft power dominance? mean i lived in a time in
8:52 pm
the early part of my work on palestine i distinctly remember the uphell battle it was to persuade people about the true nature of the zionist regime, even people in the labor movement, even people... on the left of the labor movement, there was still this miasma, this idealized idea of the histodrut, the kibut seem and and the you know free love and all of that, it had an attraction for progressive people at that time in the 1970s in the world, even more in the 60s, but still well... into the 70s doesn't have that allure anymore, does it? the truth is their power is all fire and and lead, that's all gone, yeah,
8:53 pm
and good ridens to it, because the pictures coming across social media, and we have of course the internet to thank for that, despite the censorship of oligarchs in the us system, that that's all gone, but then you look at. even this week is something called the mercury prize from musical big wigs, because of course it's culture that israel has tried to control the apac lobby and israel allied powers and i'm looking at who's up for the top album of the year, you won't have heard of these people, i know, but you're a fan of dylan, i think he has house in israel, doesn't he? barry can't swim, completely pro the proxy war against russia through ukraine, um, the... last dinner party says something about gaza, seam, it's a minority of bands saying something about them, but presumably they'll lose the awards.
8:54 pm
you're not going to get taylor swift talking about genocide and gaza, even though she was spotted coming out of some sort of uh conceivably pro palestinian occasion in new york, i understand, so despite the fact they've lost the argument in that way, culturally they... still will be able to come out with those films and movies and music and and art, because uh, you know, can you imagine uh, can you imagine an artist really coming out against against what's happening in gaza or new and up and coming artist, let alone a mainstream one, you're not going to get any many actors, what mark ruffalo? there are not many actors, not many musicians, not many cultural icons who will dare uh break the totalitarian ceiling even when it comes to what this international criminal court calls plausible genocide. maybe taylor swift was innocently eating watermelon and it has
8:55 pm
been misinterpreted uh by the other side, but it is an important point you touch and she's a billionaires, she's a billionaires, she has the money. i mean, how much money do you need to do it? how much money do you need? that's a question i asked an international musical superstar uh. decade or so ago in this context, i won't name her for a fear of further embarrassment to her, but the the someone asked me on the show, there is roger waters though, i should just quickly say there is roger waters his birth, there's roger waters and there's eric clapton, and both are saints in my eyes, but both of them are over 80 years old, where are the new generation of peoples? someone asked me on my show the other day, why can't we have a live aid for palestine? and of course the truth is uh bono and bob geld and the movers and
8:56 pm
driver. the liveate phenomenon are are all on israel's site, and new artists, as you've just indicated, are afraid for their career to place themselves firmly in the anti-genocide camp, that's quite a comment on the state of our society, isn't it? imagine oasis who thought jeremy corbin was some kind of communist, imagine oasis, oasis are being plugged so widely on so-called mainstream legacy media because oasis say nothing, they uh, this is the kind of culture of western europe that is being uh actively promoted, and that's those are the rules, and that's why culture is dying in western europe as they bankovski and who knows what else as part of the proxy war on russia through ukraine, lot of these bands it should be said of for the uh nato war against russia, and i
8:57 pm
suppose plays in here because russia is a great supporter of palestine or has been joying the gaza uh what's been happening in gaza over the past few months so yeah culturally it's destroyed but i mean hopefully given what we've seen from campus protests although they've been broken in the united states to a certain extent we were fearful all of us of another kent state shooting such was the violence against uh protesters uh for palestine uh you know the protests even i mean the... the big one in london, i understand on saturday, the cultural power, is that waining because of social media, that's of course why they've gone for social media, that's why they we have zuckerberg of facebook desperately trying to um be cycapantic arguably to donald trump, fearful that he might be arrested, because you know things get through even on his platform meta that show the extent of the atrocities at the hands of weapons from the military industrial complex of nato, well...
8:58 pm
brother is now safely back in russia, the owner of rumble, successfully escaped from europe, uh, just ahead of what one must assume, would have been the same fate as has befollen pavel durov, durov must wish he was at least back in the united arab emirates, or perhaps more safely in russia itself, are we all going to have to move to russia? "i should say the uae has been asking for consular access to the telegram billionaire uh founder, ceo bavel durov who lives here in in dubai, other when he's not banned from leaving the leaving france, his other citizenship, if you look through baval durov's uh telegram or twitter or whatever, you'll find nothing he's ever said for julian asange, nothing he's ever said for gaza, they're not particularly political, i suppose
8:59 pm
we could..." nice by saying, but uh, we don't really know his connections to uh uh western sources, some reports talking about french intelligence, these billionaires are frightened, so maybe taylor swift does have reason, it doesn't matter whether you're rich, whether you're poor, whether you're powerful, whether you're power less, such as the power of the uh military industrial complex that are making billions from public money as osterity bites and people can't afford to eat or heat in western europe, they have... ability to censor and are they going to be banned in western europe? i mean, just this week, there a whole spate of cases against google and facebook, who would have thought google and facebook, google, the cia cutouts, both of them are champions of free speech, they are, because even they can't stop, the the users, the millions of us, hundreds of millions of users spreading information like like points of light in wh.
9:00 pm
words, it's also the anniversary this week of the outbreak of world war two, if you ignore what was happening between china and japan, when germany went into poland, these are points of light, you can't eraize them, everyone knows, but as for the people of gaza, doesn't look like anyone's going to save the remaining millions left, well may the lord preserve your points of light ratansi. thanks for joining us on have it out with galloway wow that was quite an interview let's go to the studio wall and see what's on the mind of our audience today zuber rashid is solicitor in birmingham in england zuber welcome to the show hi jode thank you very much inviting me over my question can you
