12:02 am
gazza and continue to see of course, and this is something that should not take the spotlight away also from what is happening in ghazza, we should always remember uh that the reason why lebanon is going through this suffering is because its resistance decided to support uh palestine and to say for the very first time that we will not allow the israeli regime uh to continue with this um this genocidal war, we will not tolerate the killing of innocent civilians inside. gazza anymore, but even though in the past had always been supportive as a resistance, and even we can recall that after the liberation of 2000 and the uh first intifada, we used to see people using rocks only, that was the time when it seeing the resistance took as a responsibility that has the the duty to a support the resistance in palestine, especially those that are under constant occupation and to also continue. and support
12:03 am
even ghazza despite the seeds, so they did whatever they can, and we also know that there were merters as a result of their attempts to try to make sure that they assist the people to defend themselves um through uh through allowing to to get any any funds and assistance uh through uh egypt for example, and so when people look at the images now of the children going to the hospitals, coming out, taking them out of the rubble either murder. or may be heavily injured, this reminds them that what we were looking at in gaza will probably be done to us, but the extent of the people's determination is is is unprecedented, it's even more than what we saw in the 2006 war even, the fact that you have people going down though they are displays so they are in a state of being maybe terrorized, but still... "you do have
12:04 am
that notion that this is going to lead somewhere that at the end of the day we are going to return to our villages and towns uh proud with our heads high, and we saw those banners being written by many of those people who are in the south or coming from the south and saying and telling even the media, speaking on social media how they feel, they have the duty to be by the side of the people of palestine, and this is probably the way to do it, although..." there is sacrifice, and this is also one of the questions that is put to light that, is hazdullah going to accept a true, is going going to succum, they're going to give some certain concessions, and although the resistance knows and understands, and they probably know the israelies by heart by now that even if the resistance does give um uh concessions or does succum in some way to some conditions, they know that that will not stop the israelis from killing the people of lebanon
12:05 am
in 1978, there were no lebanese resistance, there was no lebanese resistance, and still they targeted civilian areas, they destroyed houses, they committed massacres in 1947 as well, it was very famous massacer that was documented by our grandfathers in the town of tola, where at least 100 people were slaughtered by the science gangs and so this is not an issue that the killing of the people of lebanon is not the result of the fact that there is a... resistance, so while the resistance understands that, and even if the resistance wants to perhaps put the ball on the court of the israelis and say, in order for it not to kill the libanese people, it's going to go for concessions, lebanese people will not accept that now it's not the time after all these sacrifices, they want the resistance to go all the way uh with its stance of support for palestine, since now it seems and and one of the main issues that i can't take out of this as as perhaps a lesson
12:06 am
because we saw what happened for example 1996 especially when really entrenched that balance of power and returns to stress that the israelies will not target the civilians and that also seemed to be quite clear throughout the several years after that that once the israelies target civilians then has the love and the resistance the resistance of love non will target the settlements and use those its rock. to reach the settlements within the israeli home front and that was the first time that any side would dare to launch anything towards the home front as it is as it was doing, now we see that there is going to be new sort of of balance, new sort of deterrance which will include not only lebanon, it will also include palestine as well, specifically ghazza, if the results of course, the resistance keep standing by the end of this, which many people believe it will, despite all these attacks, whether the
12:07 am
the pagers and the the number of wounded, the number of murders that we have within the civilian population, since i prefer, i like to mention this always. main weakness of the resistance in lebanon is its people, it is the civilizations, they don't want their people to suffer and and that is the weak spot for the this is why the israelis continue to pound areas where they know there are civilians and like i mentioned civilians that were displaced into the those areas and so this is why this balance of the turns could be played out now to give you just we have some um sorry breaking news coming in that we have shelling. on the area in several towns like hermel and in surrounding of we also have uninin and aline these areas and also these are areas that were never targeted maybe if they were targeted once or twice
12:08 am
throughout the the for example the war in 2006 now the israelis are heavily bombarding these areas that some people thought could could have been safe haven for them right um and we are also on the bottom of you can see the breaking news on the bottom of your screen there for our viewers at least five people killed and is really air strike targeting a home in uh bacca and eastern lebanon uh said uh let me just quickly up uh date our our viewers that are just tuning in um we are on day three now of israel's onslot on lebanon that's resulted now in over 620 lebanese civilians um killed including over dozens of children, over 100 women, and um, it's a wednesday, day three, we mentioned uh, the onswat is uh been focused on uh, what initially was over - months and months, over 11 months, on the border areas, of lebanon has now the regime has uh shifted, it's
12:09 am
targeting of the hearts of lebanese cities, towns and villages, including the capital beirot, um, the city of balbet. um some of the cities that that uh our press tv correspon shared with us um earlier uh becca balbeck uh the capital uh beirot we have all on the line our press tv correspondent from uh beirut miriam salah as well as say musan abbas joining us out of uh london said i wanted to uh ask you when we saw so many world uh leaders use the forum at the un general assembly over last couple of days used their addresses to speak on and it was very remarkable because there's a huge international consensus and a strong condemnation consensual condemnation of what the regime has done in gaza over the last um 11 uh months, it's catastrophic nature, its
12:10 am
consequences, its impacts on palestinian uh civilians and all these world leaders are demanding that the onslaught stop and immediately many even are demanding probes and accountability for uh war crimes and we've even heard the same demands for swift deescalation when it comes to lebanon uh my question to you said how much of an impact does this have when so many countries show such a strong consens consensus in opposition to what the regime is doing with washington's backing i mean does the us president that's sitting right across the aisle here what's going on here all these countries and does it him, i don't think the americans care, they've already made this plan long before even october the 7th, that they would have to take some action to try and save israel, which was literally going to be consumed by by the palestinian resistance after they saw
12:11 am
the the march of return, the results of the march of return were the beginning of the turning point of the palestinian resistance, because the palestinians had freeed themselves. from the lies of the two two say solution, the lies that even the the katari negotiators, the egyptian negotiators would lulled most of the palestinian resistance into into apathy and into thinking that there was a peaceful solution possible at some stage, i mean even hamas and even all the the the pla, so they all accepted that they ultimately were going to have to let israel have a chunk of land and they'd get some minor portion, and that was kind of fair complete. but the trouble is they got greedy and uh the abraham accords uh which donald trump pushed with israel was really a complete capitulation and a complete surrender of everything that the palestinians uh would have and i think that they sniffed it. palestinian resistance realized it, they
12:12 am
had the support of the axis of resistance and they saw the the the strength of the axis of resistance in its defeat of the of the anglo-zionist empire in syria, it's they defeat defeating them in uh iraq. their defeat in libya to be honest as well and afghanistan, so i think from there the confidence, and not to mention yemen, not to forget yemen, these arenas are where the access of resistance uh... republic of iran uh leading that axis has been successful in defeating america and israel and europe, so i think that confidence has steadily been building up in in these nations, but the other side to is that they're scared, they are absolutely pified now because they would have thought that israel would have done its usual punity of two three months actions and withdraw. now they realize, hey, hang on, we've got a bunch of psych. in government there and they're not stopping, where does this not stopping lead us to, where does this
12:13 am
israeli war machine, this blood lust uh take us to ultimately, if iran and if the axis of resistance decided to go all the way and match these guys to toe, then what we have is regional war with huge potential for world, because the regional war would entail, as i said it often, would would would force the access resistance to shut down the... sts of shut down the persian gulf, close down all of the energy ins and outs, which would then affect russia, it would affect even the chinese, it would affect the whole world, 30% of world trade in terms of energy would be completely closed overnight, that would have huge impact on the global economy, there would be a collapse of the global economy and there would be absolutely mayhem all over the world, now that is that is the nuclear weapon which iran possesses and the... must be mentioned because yemen has already begun work, the ansarulah have already shown what
12:14 am
they can do in terms of sh shutting down the shipping lanes through there, and that is the corridor that takes us through suez, the suez canal, so you'd end up putting huge amounts of costs all these corporate companies that want to ship food and and what not around by not going through, they'd have to go the long way around south africa and of course that would put prices up, so economically we're looking a huge time bomb that that the whole world is sitting. on and they're seeing that israel is not really bothered about this and it will drag in the whole world and regionally what will happen the ministic missiles start being shot it's not just going to be tel aviv that gets blown up or ha or you any any number of their cities it would also be all of the american um us bases and all of those bases are in the likes of united arab emirates which are you know totally partnering israel they'll be perhaps even arabia which has also been a clandestine partner of israel and and and beyond, so
12:15 am
nobody is going to be spared by a regional war, let alone a world. i think that's why these leaders are now beginning to pipe up and the appeasement that's been going on by the west, they're all now getting very uncomfortable with no action being taken to to rain in israel and it's a it's kind of genocide and and genocidal actions and israel's been steadily moving towards ' a state of isolation, the icc did at least threaten that they're going to take actions against the war criminal netanyahu in his ilk, the the icj have through the south african efforts uh also pinned all sorts of potential genocidal war crimes, actions against them, and it's a fact that the world get together regardless of america, forget america, don't bring them on board, but israel must be stopped before it's too late. is adventurism if it's not stopped will lead to a really perilous level of of global
12:16 am
instability and and warfare and i think that at the moment the the hez have exercised patent patient because what they've been doing is they're saying look we'll knock out all of their systems we can reach anywhere and hopefully that creates makes these israel stop and in the long run also was and distrust within the israeli. population that they'll split off from from even wanting to live in this region, because there's never going to be the kind of peace that israel uh want, which is based on the boot and the net as as was once said by uh by very famous palestinian resistant, there is peace is based on justice and fairness, it cannot be based on the boot of an imperialist occupier uh on the neck of the people it has robbed uh killed and bled uh and and on your my final point, you talked about children, there's a difference in the anglionist mentality about
12:17 am
between children, white children, sist children, they're not the same as israeli children, they, they are inferior class, amalac and boums are basically disposable according to their the perverted interpretations of the which these zionists have have made normal, and and so to them killing... children means nothing, taking children in prisons, there there are thousands of palestinian child children in bollowing in the prisons of israel being tortured and and mamed and and and destroy the human rights organizations would used to jump up and down about the any anything for instance that would happen in the islamic republic of iran or russia or any of the nations which were not anglocentric white, they would jump up and down about such things. i don't hear that same noise from the likes of amnesty and all these human rights watches and where are they? i i don't hear
12:18 am
that level of noise that you hear when whenever uh they the the anglo-zionist empire wants... to point accusing finger at one of the countries it wants to destroy, and i don't see any sanctions on israel in this regard, i don't see any focus on the hospitals where mothers with with with you embryos and with children with fetuses, with with you pregnant women with children, even they weren't spared by the israelis and it's not just 16,00 children that have been killed, if we take the launset reports 200 thousand, then i assure you... that that figure is at least uh four times as much in terms of the children are being killed and they they talk about human shields the the israelis and you know there is an honor and a dignity about hezbolah they base themselves on the sanctity of life they haven't launched missiles at israeli neighborhoods and nor did hamas and and what we here at the beginning
12:19 am
of october the 7th palestinian hamas have killed babies no babies. killed, there was no evidence, it's all been completely debunked. israelis don't mind killing baby because they're racist, because zien, israelis are racists and they kill babies because they don't care about the babies of others. um, said, how, um, successful do you think uh, have some europeans and the us and the uh israelis been in trying to turn the palestinians against the... resistance factions and turning the lebanese against uh uh heizballah because we know that they have launched in the years uh previous years intense campaigns for that uh exact purpose by those exact players i just uh mentioned uh to what degree do you think they've been successful? they've been absolutely uh
12:20 am
complete and utter failures none of it has worked they tried the shia sunni divide it hasn't worked. today it's the shia who go and protect the palestinian sunnis more than any other nation, none of the arab sunni nations are are doing that, so that's that completely was was wiped out, they tried to create the arab persian confrontation between the you know calling the iranians uh outsiders, iranians are part of the region, they are part of the regional players, they have every legitimate right to be playing any political diplomacy or whatever in west asia, whereas the americans are aliens, they are not uh... indigenous nor are the israel, they're not indigenous to that region, these are the alien forces, so to what extent have they succeeded in splitting, well let's go through the list, have they managed to uh create a split within the lebanese uh factions, we know there are sunnis, we know there are shias, we know there are christians, there are there are sort of dres, you jumblad has
12:21 am
come out fully in support of hezbollah, the christian fraternity have opened all their mots around lebanon to all all the people who are homeless in that region now because of the israel bombing and you're seeing this coming together of uh fraternal unity between all those who aren't aligned to tyrany and the tyrany of the anglo-zionist empire those who are on the payrolls of the anglo-zionist they always were uh they will always were sell out and always were traits they will remain because they on pay packages and it's in their interest to do that there are some factions from all sectors that are of that ilk uh but then let's turn also to the the new equation that the israelis have managed to achieve here. never before has hezbollah or the lebanese fraternity being so close to the palestinian resistance. since this this october the 7th, the level of collaboration, cooperation, fraternity that the lebanese have now been able to uh connect with their
12:22 am
their brothers in palestine is absolutely astronomical difference because the trust and the sacrifice. that the lebanese have made from day dot on october the 8th hez began to respond to israel to take away their attention to take half of the israeli army off the gaza equation and and palestine knows it now the palestinians who may been pumped uh with with sectarian uh nonsense or with the idea that iran was some sort of man or the hez were not real arabs like they were that the palestinians and the lou the arabs is now coming together and what we're seeing is the the the nuclears of real arab unity of real muslim unity and i mentioned this as well the common id entity of all of this region is islam, and whilst christianity and judaism was always tolerated, the reality of the latter is the overwhelming majority have an identity which is common, which is the
12:23 am
religion of islam, and the idea of the sacrifice and the idea of the martidons, the idea of islamic revolution, the idea of justice, the idea of peace being created on the basis of justice is now spreading, this is a wildfire in the hearts of many many arabs and those are are uh threatened with being interned in saudi arabia, the ones who are scared, because in saudi arabia for instance, there are 40 to 50,000 political prisoners of conscience, you get banned up as soon as you squeak against the regime and the their deep state which is again probably operated by mossad to be fair, don't tolerate any kind of free speech there, and the same is the case with all the totalitarian arab gulf nations, all of whom who are backed by the... fake democracy, these lying oligarchal tyrants in the anglosphere who go around supporting despots and dictators and they dismantle try to dismantle democracy and the
12:24 am
republicans and anything which has a wif of islamic justice as well, this is the this is the equation that they now triggered, they're bringing the resistance together, they're creating collaboration a military level and on every other cultural level as well, and people are being awakened, so i think the more israel does this... kind of villainy, the more they try to divide, the more they do husbara and their propaganda, which nethanyahu did, i think yesterday, he he going on about how the leban civilians were the ones he was after, and because there were torpedoes in the living rooms in the loungees, that that's why he was forced to have to have to hit their neighborhoods, well nobody's buying that, and the arabs are are not going to buy that, and the more he does this, forget about the governments and the regimes were propped up by the anglosphere, the people in in pastasia. are i think overwhelmingly now absolutely hating israel, absolutely hating the angest empire and this is the bedrock which the resistance i think
12:25 am
ultimately succeed. thank you uh say is stay safe, we'll talk to you soon, i was a pleasure to have you join us here on especial rolling coverage, you always do uh tremendously and how much you help us with um um going through multiple dimensions of of every conflict w every cover with you so do stay safel. talked saying said uh mosen albuster joining us out of london and for viewers that are just uh joining us, we are on day three now of the israeli regime's aggression against lebanon that's resulted in over 620 fatalities now after uh nearly 72 hours um that's including over uh 60 plus children over 100 women um due to uh unrelenting azinus. bombardment of lebanese territory. um, over 2,000 people have been reported injured by the lebanese uh health ministry. meanwhile, hezbulah has launched
12:26 am
also uh extensive retaliatory strikes uh uh expanding its scope of northern uh occupied palestinian territories that it has been uh targeting throughout the day. uh, one such uh attack was the targeting of mossad headquarters in a tel aviv now due to zionist uh censorship, the regime has kept a very tight lid on the results of that uh strike, but uh we will pursure here on press tv to find out and get the exact the facts of the uh uh the palestinian - pardon uh lebanese uh resistance movements retaliatory uh uh strikes and other uh results and parameters. out to you accordingly now uh addressing the uh media in beirot lebanese health minister fiad said that 200 220 lebanese have been
12:27 am
injured in attacks just today there in um in lebanon and uh 51 people have perished today alone uh yesterday we were at 500 and we're at uh 500 and uh and change including 50 children. and uh 94 women, this was when we're at the 48 hour mark, so uh today has not been as intense as the first two days, but nevertheless it's been riddled with civilian casualties, even if the're you know only 100 and change, they're mostly civilians, mostly women and children, the way we've seen in gaza for 11 months is what we have seen uh the kind of uh per capita proportions when it comes to civilian casualties in the uh soil in the last uh 72 hours joining us is john bost now a journalist activist and political analyst joining us from fredericton canada day three
12:28 am
uh john of israel's. onslot on the lebanese people, uh, your initial thoughts? well, i've spoken here with my lebanese canadian friends and i think it's high time for people around the world to file formal complaints against their own home countries for participating in genocide. i've contacted lawyers here in canada to file a complaint against my own canadian government for being complicit by selling weapons. to israel to conduct a genocide. i'm also going to complain to our own ministry of defense here in canada, because canada as member of nato, supports the nato policy of r2p, which is responsibility to protect. nato has an international doctrine that is valid worldwide that mandates a nato intervention,
12:29 am
armed intervention. to protect a threatened ethnic, identifiable ethnic group, and that is the lebanese people, and i think that it's high time that canadian citizens demand that nato militarily interven to stop israel from making its aggression and its genocide against the country of lebanon. there is no longer the uh opportunity or the right for any person living in a democracy to stay silent. this is exactly what happened in world war ii nazi germany, when the people of germany stayed silent as hitler conducted the holocaust. it's high time for people like myself here in canada to demand that the canadian military and that the nato military intervene against israel to stop their genocidal slaughter of innocent civilians in lebanon and elsewhere. and then we get uh
12:30 am
these. mixed messages john, we we've heard the israeli army chief saying he is calling up two brigades for possible ground assault into lebanese uh uh territory and then we have the us uh just moments after uh um the saying is really ground operation inside lebanon does not appear eminent this is according to the pentagon uh the uh deputy pentagon press secretary sabrina sing told journalis it doesn't look like anything is eminent at this point when we hear uh it says she said we certainly don't want to see any any action taken that could lead to further escalation in the region adding we want to see a diplomatic resolution and solution to prevent all-out war very loaded words because the last time you saw the the regime accept any kind of diplomatic resolution.
