welcome everyone, a the zionist entity continues engaging in extremely provocative actions across west asia, pushing the region to the brink of war. from a globally

condemned campaign of genocide in the besieg gazo strip, killing nearly 42,000 palestinians and injuring almost 100 thous others to daily violent incursions into palestinian neighborhoods of the occupied west bank, killing nearly 800 people there, including children and injuring over 7,00 others as well as detaining over 10,000 palestinians all since october, and in lebanon, in just two days of widespread campaign of cyber terrorism, over 3 dozen people dead including chile. and over 3ous injured, many have lost their eyes and fingers, scores killed also in syria and in yemen, and an assassination in the iranian capital. this heavily armed regime laughs off at international law and humanitarian values, it abides by no norms of humanity, proportionate use of force, respect for human life, the rules of war or the rules of engagement, and it bears no sense of responsibility to bring peace and stability to west asia, in fact, the very opposite,

tell aviv's destabilizing activities in the region and how it continues to impact regional countries and the people is topic of this segment of your press tv spotlight. join us now is daniel, author and researcher joining us from beirot and academic and political analyst also joining us from leban. capital gentlemen, like to welcome you both to the uh program, guess we'll start with mr. alii hami there, uh, nice to check in with you uh, sir, mr. hammy, let's begin the program with a special, it's all about destabilizing activities of the zionist entity, but we're going to start with our special focus on uh tuesdays and wednesday's terrorist attacks on lebanese soil, your initial thoughts on it, and what you think the israeli regime hope to accomplish by carrying them out? well, i, good evening for

you and for your guests and for all the audience, i would like to say that first israel is trying to push for a regional war by attack and and escalation of raids and the criminal terror terror attack against lebanon and especially civilian on tuesday and wednesday and we see. that we should not also condemn this act by un or by all the organizations, but also by the world trade trade trade agreement organization, because this uh, this is under the civilian instruments and machine, this is first of all, second that this criminal attack was hidden to kill as much as they can of,

leaders so they can go into big hit and of attack against south lebanon in case those this terror attack. succeed to to kill as many as they want from uh our side, but uh hizbullah foil the goals of the israelis and they uh they they they the israeli could not go into their goals and now maybe the escalation of the israelis by air raids to uh let's say to fill the gap that uh in and successful attack against lebanon on tuesday and wednesday uh israelis are trying to uh if it was succeed uh to uh to declare triumph against lebanon, but it wasn't the the way they want it. okay, very well, thank you, mr.

ali hami and daniel, welcome to the uh program, now daniel, your initial thoughts on tuesdays and wednesday's terrorist attacks, same question that i put to um alie, i want to kick this off with what? think what you feel the israeli regime tried to hope that it could accomplish by attacking civilian areas with uh thousands of these little micro explosions and um do you agree with mr. hammy there that one of its main objectives is to start a regional wide scale war? yes i absolutely agree um and i think these terrorist attacks that we witnessed with stand wednesday although uh they signal a completely new... mention of israeli warfare, they very much fit the signature of what we've seen in the past, not just since october 7, but frankly we have to say through the past years and decades of israeli terrorism in uh lebanon when it comes to sabotaging uh communication um attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure with

the goal to instill fear and panic, which is also part of these really regime psychological warfare against lebanon and its uh population, so it was another uh attempt in this case, as has already been mentioned, to sabotage the communication among the lebanese resistance, which apparently seems to be part of the israeli gold to further escalate its attacks on lebanon and to expand uh farther into lebanon, which of course if we look at the broader situation, the only strategy that the israeli regime has had is to kill people and to expand militarily, even though it has been faced with lot of ch and defeats by both hamas and hesbollah since uh october 7 and we see increes increasingly anxious but at the same time very aggressive israeli regime which the end we need to remember has the full backing of the united states and its western supporters so uh we

again cannot under underestimate the the scope of the continuing israeli terrorist aggression. thank you, and mr. ali hami, the us, moments ago said that israel has a right to defend itself against hezbollah's acts of terrorism, setting off thousands of explosions in civilian populated areas amongst uh crowded metropolitan places, stores, bus stops, inside hospitals, inside classrooms, inside businesses, and fruit markets. if that is not terrorism, what is, and why do we get such lop-sided language, loaded language when it comes? from western leaders and their failure to condemn this attack for what it is? i'm not surprised from the american declaration and statements supporting the israelis to defend themselves by committing massacers in palestine and in

lebanon. we are talking about five 500 injured and about 40 killed in the last two days massacre committed by the israelis, but let me tell you this: "this is uh, this is not only an israeli attack against lebanon, the israeli could make cyber attack, but not electronic warfare attack against lebanon, what we saw that there is differences between the encrypted, the encoded systems, the internet connected machines, now we are talking about rf machines, radio frequencies that work by radio frequency. they are not connected to any bluetooth or gps or what whatsoever whatso kind, this is over the power of israel, the israelis does not have, the israeli do not have such machines to cut the the coding and decoding of the of the rf

and they never did, but let's see hochstein visit to israel, at the same time israel implemented so many rf german system tower. close to the border, lebanese border, and then we saw that the airplane, i'm talking about the ec 130 c called compascal the american airplane flying over the lebanese shore, didn't see it, but we we can we we could detected by normally it was there, so this this airplane it it works the the the same as the awax and they can help the israelis to detect all the rf machines, i'm talking about the... beepers or the the icom v82 so this first let's see lebanese they i

don't think if it's under the military equipments lebanon does not have the right to import such machines from taiwan or japan the american have some sanctions against any companies that trade with lebanon especially they will say that it it will go to hisbullah, so if this in this case, if this machine is under civilian machine uh, we know that it's against the civilian and it is so, and they know so, but if it is, they consider it as military equipments, so how could lebanon get an end user certificate from taiwan or from japan, which they are both countries under the american... control and those machine arrived to lebanon by what kind of end uh auc and user certificate so it's

suspicious, i think those machines stopped at somewhere and there was a cia interfere to maybe maybe and it's a big question mark they interfere and they implemented all this ptn or maybe rdx uh explosive uh with some micro machines and they know it's coming to lebanon, if this machine known or implemented by israel and it has been in lebanon for five months, why the israeli did not do it uh four months ago or three months ago, why they had to wait until now until hochstein is or hochsteen is in tel aviv to to do so, maybe he brought the machine, the interception machine or he... give them the password how to do it and the instruction to or the

instruction to do it, so i think this operation, this terror act is dually done by the israelis and the american side by side. thank you, ali and daniel, i'd like to put that same question to you, because you could imagine western leaders, what their take would be on this, had it happened on their soil, and whether it was syria or lebanon or iran. or anyone else that was behind it, you would hear the word uh terrorism, reckless, dangerous, million times, you'd see sanctions and condemnations, but why is the language and the reaction so different when it comes to the lebanese people? so i think there are um two major reasons, one of them is of course that this entire concept of terrorism, the way it is used in the west, is very racialized concept, it pertains to white people and people of european origin, people in the west to consider themselves. civilized and in these all of these orientalist frameworks that have existed there for for

centuries, the look at the rest of the world is less civilized and less human and it also has its roots in european colonialism, and um so lebanese, syrian palestinian victims of terrorism do not become victims in the western uh media representation or political discourse, but then of course the west is implicit in this when to keep in mind that the west is, and when i say west, i'm talking about the united states, uh, because in the and the european union, if we're speaking politically functions as a proxy of the us, is very much complicit in this war, because in the ongoing genocide in gaza, because they have provided, okay, it seems like we're having technical difficulties with refer to as terror daniel, hold a second, let let our

coordinator try to fixture, you can hear me, we we're having a connection issues with you, you're cutting on and off, try to get that resolved, i'm going to go over to mr. alie hammy for second to see if uh somebody in our technical room can get that uh resolved uh ali hammi um i like to uh speak to you if if we could about uh the regime always talks about all of its adversaries in the region saying that they pose an existential threat. to the regime in tel aviv, do you see the regime in tel aviv as being the threat to the region or regional countries as being a threat to the regime in tel aviv? "i think the zionist entity is a threat to the whole world and we see that the israelis now they are moving from anibal protocol to samson protocol and we all know what's this means that means that to destroy the temple on all the the visitors that they are under it under

the ceiling of the temple it means that if israel will look" they are trying to drag the american, the iranian, the russian and the whole world to a big major war, maybe it will end by the third world war, and the israeli that by this act, the last two days, they try to see themselves somewhere where they are not in it, i'm talking about victorious day for them, it ends up that the... did not succeed and the entity in israel they will try the most they can do as long as they have support by the american and by the by the west overall by nato also by ocos by jacobs by all the parties and all organization under the wings of the united states they are

supporting israel the israelis will not accept any un resolution. they will not accept and implement any trial from more trial criminal court, so the israelis they feel that they are the supremist people that no law, no act they can be imposed on them, whatever they commit genocide, killing, crimes, terror against the whole world. they think that they are the choosen people and they still, i think this country was founded according to the torah, religious country founded, so now they they act like as they have it in in their mind and according to the torah and the talmud that they are the chosen people and they must win this war and they

must dominate all the country around and they must dominate. the economy of the world, so they think that they are separamis and the un, the sorry, the us should be acting as their attention. thank you, daniel, hope you got your uh, your technical issue resolved, because i want to ask you two prong question, and before i do, i want to read this short clip really quick, according to analysis of data, from the armed conflict location and event data project acled, israel is responsible for over sev 19,81 incidents of air drone strikes, shelling and missile attacks, remote explosives and property destruction in five countries, lebanon, syria, yemen, iran, occupied palestinian territory since october the 7th, majority of attacks have been on palestinian territory, specifically gaza, with over 10,389 incidents

accounting for more than 60% of total attacks, israel has also conducted 6,544 attacks on lebanon, that's 38% followed by syria with 1444 incidents. daniel, two proged question for you: how big of a threat is israel to regional stability when it comes to west asia, and then why are the us, the germans, the french, the uh, the english so opposed to peace in west asia, because one has to deduce that if they weren't, their approach toward the regime in televive would be dramatically. different, yes, i'd like to start by answering the second part of your question, very simply we can trace this back to the fact that the israeli regime is an extension uh of the west, it is a proxy of the united states and it very much represents western military and political interests in the reason and very much so serves as base, so we cannot differentiate these really

regime from the west, it is part of the west, it has been designed as such and has been identified as such. early zionist writings of colonialism decades before the eventual so-called state of israel had been uh established so this entire so-called state can only exist for this perpetual support that it gets from the west and again identifies um as a part of it and this is i think also then going back to the other part of your question what makes it again so dangerous because just in the numbers that you cited mean this is terrorism that was also beyond the the borders, the undeclared borders of the israeli regime and occupied palestine, and it has been in... post initially through violence, its entire existence necessitates apartide, necessitates racist segregation and supremacy and the continuous development of new military

infrastructure to contain resistance and to contain the indigenous peoples, so we cannot really differentiate between the israeli regime and the state of of perpetual war, and what we see in folding now in the last two to three days in lebanon, what we've seen in the last 12 months and gaza and also... what we've seen the past 76 years is a continuity of different forms of violence that seem to be getting worse and worse as uh military innovations progress and so as long as the israel regime exists in its forms there cannot be any deescalation uh there can uh there will continue to be extreme genocidal violence on the one side and calls and quests for liberation and resistance on the other side and mr. hamy i like to put the same question to you when the regime is such an impediment to peace and stability in the region, and when its western backers give it such a long leash that it does what it wants, it has no red lines and it commits any

atrocity it wants with impunity, how are regional countries supposed to approach and deal with the uh zinus entity in tel aviv? uh, let's say that the western world will try to calm down and let israel do their dairy job. first and the israelis will have a portion of the cake that uh they will uh will gain in the middle east, especially in the middle east. now we are talking about the israeli supported by the whole world, western world to commit all those kind of crimes against the palestinian and against lebanese and against the countries around and they uh they they feel free to... so because they are doing exactly what they are agreed upon when they founded israel in the 1948 by first by

the british and then supported by united states, all those are agreed upon that israel is free, they have a free hands to do whatever they want to do in the middle east until they succeed to achieve the big goal which is the abraham accord, the abraham accord is to dominate the whole area, and now they are getting, they fail to do so by the resistance access, which they they could not continue in their conspiracies against the the middle east, especially against the middle east, but now they are supporting israel because it's a part of the agreement between them to let this countries in the middle east to be separated and not only separated, but also to be smaller and smaller

in in order to dominate them. now we can see that the israelis will go and escalate against the palestinian and the lebanese resistance, they will escalate as much as they can, and then we will see, "the american after the escalation of the israelis and killing all the civilians, the american will interfere and they say, okay, please stop, it's too uh, it's over and it's too much to do so for now, okay, honestly we only have about a minute, and i really want to give this last question, because you mentioned the americans and that's going to bring me to my final question, i'm going to put to daniel, it's election season, you very well know in america, and uh, not american lawmakers, neither a political party, not the democrats or the republicans, have the stomach to..." get into another war, especially in west asia, not the outgoing bidens, not the potential incoming haris or the trump administration or the american people want to see another war in west asia, so how does

that reflect back and impact israel's agenda moving forward, considering all the stuff mr. hami just said, so i think the americans are already part of this ongoing war, this genocide is a us is really genocide um and it wouldn't be possible for the israel regime to conduct this genocide, i think the ways in which the united states is physically militarily involved may vary from when we speak about conventional wars and and occupation, but again, i think the israeli regime is part of the united states, it has full bipartisan support, it's an issue that the current president and both candidates in the upcoming elections are basically debating about and fighting who is the bigger zionis and who will be more loyal to the uh us interests and israeli interests in the region, so um we have to look... both as one entity and uh the israel being an extension the united states and i think the public opinion in the united states among the people doesn't matter that much because you as

political elite... um have their interests much more in the military industrial complex and capitalist interests than they don't really have to care about whether americans are interested if their tax money goes into funding another genocide or not unfortunately thank you both for joining us in the program stay safe to uh both of you mr daniel uh author and researcher and mr ali hamy academic and political analyst both joining us from lebanese capital bayrut viewers this us to this end of the segment of your press tv spotlight program, thank you for joining us and goodbye for now. this year, iranian students achieved astounding triumph, securing third place an intense global competition and outpacing formidable contenders like south korea, india, and
