the role that has been playing in support of the palestinian people and the fighters and gazah the beginning of the gidal war on gazah that this role played by hazballah is the strongest and the most effective and the most influential on the level of fighting the israelis and that fight in facing and confront confrontations against the israeli enemy has lasted. for 42 years, the balance of hazballah, the history of hazballah, the heroic and courageous stances of hazballah in fighting and confronting the israeli regime and the victories which they have reached and god has achieved this for them in 2006 and 2000, also in other forms and also their support and their role as a support front in the last 12 months, this should... shows
10:03 pm
their pivotal role in for the sake and the interest of all the muslim nation and for the sake of the palestinian cause and for lebanon which is the first country that was targeted by the israeli regime through occupation and in killing and the theft of resources and confiscation of freedom and independence. and god has given hazballah through hazballah has achieved the biggest defeat against the israelies in various phases where it seemed that even hazballah at that time did not have the capabilities that it had then it had today that it has today and today it is stronger than any time in the past has below with its framework.
10:04 pm
of hello and welcome to another edition of spotlight, day four of the latest round of israeli aggression on lebanon, the zionist of regime has bombed many areas in the... south and eastern regions of lebanon as well as the capital beirot. so far, hundreds of lebanese people have been killed in thousands injured. meanwhile, hazballah has launched extensive in retaliatory strikes deep inside the occupied territories. on wednesday, the lebanese resistance even targeted mosad headquarters in tel aviv due to the zionist censorship. the regime keeps a tight lid on fatalities which hazballah has caused inside. the entity
10:05 pm
to discuss that further, we're joined by miss sakina datu, author and journalist and producer joining us live from london, and also mr. said muhsin abbas, journalist and political commentator joining us from london, thank you very much to both of you for taking part in this edition of the... spotlight, let's begin with miss sakina datu, if you could please tell us more about the significance of hazbullah's retaliatory strikes, uh, this is definitely something that the israelis had not taken into account, imagining that hezballah did have the capacity and the capability to strike deep into the occupied territories. i think this is not the first time that hizbullah has shown israel that it is much stronger. than
10:06 pm
they believe, think it is just their own bravado and this is just israel's own belief over overestimating their own abilities that they continuously keep making this mistake to think that they can treat hizbullah for example in the same way that they treat hamas and these two entities are not the same, the capabilities of hisbullah are well known analys from everywhere, you top most analyst from the even enemy. areas, the us, the uk have often mentioned and made it very clear that hisbullah is very powerful, well organized, well run organization, and therefore i think israel, like usual, you know, they just play around with words and and they don't have a strategy, if they had a strategy, they would have read the room and known what to expect, however as we know netanyahu keeps refusing all sorts of cease
10:07 pm
fire deals and that is because he has no strategy, this is pure survival for him, he knows that if he calls out any kind of sess fire, this is the end of... is only his career, but not just that, he himself faces lots of allegation internally, but also externally, he is wanted for war crimes and i think you know this is their misjudgement and this is not the first time that they have misjudged, in the past they have entered lebanon and they have been defeated badly, the talks of still them wanting to send troops ground force into lebanon, i think that will be even bigger shock than what they have. so far. okay, so mr. mus, do you agree with sakina? we've also talked to our correspondent in beirot, and she also confirmed that hezbollah has not even used a 10% of its military might so far. hezbollah has over 100,00 train fighters, they have about 20,00 in reserves, that's just very
10:08 pm
conservative estimate, over 4000 unsarullah iraqi and iraqi pmus are lined up right now. next to lebanon uh waiting for israel to make uh the most disastrous move in its history, which would be to try to invade lebanon, they've been uh, they've been sabor rattling saying they're going to gather their their um reservists and they're starting to mobilize in reality, i think that they know very well that move into into lebanon would mean huge losses, it would mean uh taking a war they can't win and they will be subjected to a hesbollah. "who is no longer just kind of a gorilla fighting force which destroyed them even in 2000 and 2006, it's now very sizeable, medium sized army, one could say, it's a fighting force which has high morale, huge spiritual faith-based commitment, and
10:09 pm
very clear directive, a clear set of missions to to to liberate lebanon, because don't forget israel is still occupying..." lebanon in in its own little way and it's also now got the added problem israel has that hezbollah has totally aligned itself with the palestinian resistance and refuses to disengage as the israelis are trying to do because of course the french and the americans have been trying to persuade hesbollah to uh to uh you know go for a peace uh peace offering from israel and uh you know create a 21 day - cease fire now, the reality is, why is it that israel so keen a cease fire with hesbollah and not with the palestinian resistance? precisely because they know the the missile capacity, the the fighting capacity, the the the nature of the fow they're up against, and quite frankly
10:10 pm
they've they they are just um able to use their eerial superiority and their ruthlessness in terms of not discriminating in the killing of... citizens and ordinary civilians and children, that's what they achieve every time, destroying residential buildings and killing civilians and then saying they killed hezbollah outlets. hezbulah has a network of underground installations and tunnels, the like of which even gaza can't even imagine. the israelis haven't been able to penetrate those gazan tunnels, what chance they stand of doing it with uh with uh hezbulah is is is for you to think. yourself and given that hesbollah is far far mightier as sakina says, far far mightier than anything the palestinian resistance has put up against them, so this is the ground reality that israel has to think very, very seriously, but americans are not in not innocent in this, they want the
10:11 pm
war, they they're desperate to do something, they're desperate to get israel to do the fight without them having to get their hands dirty, the israelis are desperate for the americans to come in uh to do their dirty work, and in reality both of them... know that coming in and doing that uh will result in huge uh global situation which would actually uh detonate economies around the world and would signal this rapid acceleration of the destruction of the anglo-zionist empire which is happening anyway exactly and maybe that is why they keep repeating the word hazbullah so sakina if you could please shed light on that is hazballah an isolated entity that can be attacked as far as uh we know and our viewers also should be reminded is a political party, part of the lebanese political spectrum, it has a representatives in the parliament, it has representatives in the cabinet, so attacking hazballah means attacking lebanon, nothing less, absolutely, and i think you
10:12 pm
know this is all a propaganda in the way they want to uh win the favor around the world in terms of what they're doing, i mean here in the west, the the prop. ganda that we hear, i mean at one point it used to be frustrating because of the narrative that they were building, now it's laughable because they are, it it has become so silly and people are so aware. of you know this propaganda that that nobody believes them, so constantly mentioning hizbullah is trying to first of all separate them from the whole lebanese entity as lebanon is is sovereign country, it's it's a different from for example them fighting in gaza, it's a very different scenario, but also they are trying to also make vege between hizbullah and hamas and we've seen that hisbullah is not having it, they do not want cease fire that does not involve a cease fire in gaza and again you
10:13 pm
know the other thing is they keep mentioning iran every time they mention hisbullah they talk of it as a proxy for iran so these are all efforts it's just mentally it's trying to paint picture of them fighting some sort of terrorism but i think you know by now majority of the people around the world have really understood they have lost. the more argument in a big way, mean i the watching recently meh hasan's you know the discussion in new york and you not that i agree with everything that was mentioned there, but also it just makes you realize that people now are not the same as they were before, and none of their narrative, this zionist narrative is really gaining any momentum, so the idea of them trying to separate... hisbullah from anyone else is not going to happen. the other thing i think i i want to mention which i
10:14 pm
find really amazing and which gives me personally lot of hope is to see how the shia world has come together and you know having for example statements of the highest authority like ayatullah sistani speaking out and sending congratulations and and message of support to hizbullah. this means a lot i think to the shia. even outside of the region the middle east, because living here in the west in particular, since these organizations are proscribed, it becomes very difficult for us sometimes to not just speak about it, but even even within our own circles, there is lot of self restraint, but because of this statement of the maharaja, you can see that the spirit and the understanding of events within the shia world around the... world has really changed and i think this is very significant move, which we may not be able to
10:15 pm
see the effect of it immediately, but i think it is something that has got the more rolling a way that i think is going to make much bigger difference in how this world and every other person who agrees with the strategies of resistance and the excess of resistance comes together. okay, so mr. abbas, in your opinion if israel, considering all these different... aspects of the matter that we covered, if israel makes the mistake of entering lebanon by a ground invasion, what will they be looking at, both in terms of how they will be confronted by the lebanese army, and also on an international level, because that is when lebanon's allies will also be lining up. well, first of all, they've had taste of what they they can expect, but it'll be just much, much harsher. "the hezbollah are capable in terms of offensive weaponry of using every kind of rocket and missile, the
10:16 pm
the the even the ballistic missile they sent, the cadir one, is very old generation ballistic missile, they have far more up to date weaponry, and there's no doubt that the islamic republic of iran uh will have supply with everything they need, and the israelies know this well, so they're going to be up against hypersonic missiles, they'll be up against all of the latest drone." technology, which lot of which basically hasb hasn't used so far, and even with the card one ballistic missile, don't forget they only sent one missile, you we know very well that in order they that they could have showered tel aviv with missiles, they could have sent drones and other side rockets to to to confuse the iron dome system with the which they've done on several occasions, so they only did this as a warning to say, look back off, don't go for the full war because you won't you'll be sorry basically uh, but in a ground war. as you've asked, you know, the the tactical skills of hezbulah were now owned not just in
10:17 pm
the two wars against israel, but don't forget they were the victors of al-qaser in in syria, they were the victors in aleppo, they were the victors of many many ground battles in which they were the senior advisors and the coordinators of the war on isis, essentially the war of against the american backed isis, the turkish american uh nato backed isis forces in syria. that was hezbolah, hezbollah came in on the ground long before the the russians came in with their air force and then it was the collaboration of the syrinamy and hesbullah and the russians which pushed back that entire. uh highly trained, highly weaponized, with all the modern technology and and you dangerous uh uh daish force that was trying to destroy uh syria, so hezbolah are now a conventional army in in every respect, so they can expect uh hesbollah's abilities in terms of cover and concealment to be very strong, um they're capable of direct fire,
10:18 pm
very accurate direct fire, they can basically uh disappear under these tunnels and these underground networks. because they know the terrain of lebanon far better than the israelis would, so if these israeli soldiers happen to come in into any regions, they're going to be walking into a trap, but actually what the israelis have tried to do is sping a trap on hezbollah and in fact the axis of resistance by threatening uh hezbol in the way they have, by basically and what did they do, they they they sabotaged lot of the the hisbolla com networks with all these walky talky they blew up and and what not and pages, they attacked the leadership, that many of the commanders of hezbulah have been attacked, and there's been a wide spread for israeli strike on these civil cilian targets, well hez bull has absorbed all of that and they've thrown it back, they've fired rockets back and they're still firing rockets all over israel, so clearly whatever shock and all uh the israelis were trying to do do was
10:19 pm
more of a way of getting equal and opposite reaction from hezbollah, because if hezbollah were to do what israel does, the absolutely terroristic, i mean in fact that was the biggest act of terrorism ever, certainly this century was certainly in my in my knowledge, i can't think of a more widespread act of terror than getting into people's gadgets and their their devices and blowing them up regardless of whether they're children or not around, that is terrorism, that is the definition of terrorism, but if is hezbolah were to do the same kind of cyber terrorism uh or the the kind of clandestine uh black ops which the israelis do and have... doing a frequent basis, then the americans would use that as excuse, nato, america, their international community would be mobilized, those anglo-zionist puppets uh, to say yes, it's time to launch a war against iran or a war against hezbollah all together, so israel was just trying to goad america and the others to come in, the americans probably want to come in, but also uh don't want taste
10:20 pm
the action on the ground that hezbol is capable of giving them uh, which is going to be very, very... asky experience, so overall i would say that there is this kind of cat and mouse game going on uh, at the bottom line is that israel, if it was to make the blunder of going into hezbolah, they would be facing an extraordinarily uh powerful uh resistance which of the like of which they've never felt before. okay, so sakina, considering what we just heard from uh our other guest, mr. mohsen abbas, what is your opinion about how political equations will change on an international scale, israel has already lost the media war. a public opinion has shifted against israel. we have witnessed over the past couple of days in the un general assembly that world leaders have taken the podium speaking against israel. what will be next? i think uh, it really
10:21 pm
depends on whether israel decides to go for the ground invasion. "and you know, i think already, like you mentioned, already they have lost ground on all fronts, and i think this is their problem. the reason why they feel like they need to do something different now is because they have already lost in every aspect, and i think they are trying to think that they can change some views, if for example they were to enter lebanon and they were able to you know give a big defeat, which which is of course illusions on their side, but if..." world to achieve any kind of victory, then that is something they could claim and and hope that they will change the perspective of how the world views them. mind you, this this this war whenever it comes to an end, it will not be the the end as in things will not go back to normal. there are a lot of countries, we have been listening at the united nations security council how
10:22 pm
different nations are talking about israel, so going forward, even if this war was to end, 'there is lot of ill feeling towards israel and in if they made the mistake of entering, think even their own people will be suffering. if if you look at the examples right now, i've been talking to you know some some of the people on the ground in labanan and we've been into doing interviews and the difference is amazing, these are the people who are so prepared, the the whole spiritual aspect of this war and mentally how they'. prepared for it cannot be more different from those settlers that we see at the sign of you know sound barriers breaking, they run into their shelters, there is so much panic and confusion, whereas if you look at the the lebanese, they are very calm, yes of course they they want that that there, but for them this is not the end of life here in the world, there is another life and they believe
10:23 pm
in it very strongly, so the spirits are very different, you cannot compare people whose only aim is materialism because materialism does have an end, whereas those who are spiritual motivated to fight for justice, the scenario is very different, so i think as as we move forward in whichever manner we look at it, it's not just israel, i think there is lot of negative image that has been created also on america, and this whole story we are hearing today about the fact that you know there was a cease fire deal and netanyahu had accepted it, this was between in already discussed between america and netanhou and last minute he went against it, i don't buy any of it, i think all these plants are being made together to just kind of improve the pr or... for the us because it has lost ground in every aspect and there are bigger powers, there are other nations emerging whether you talk about it economically, of course now
10:24 pm
politically we are watching it, so going forward i think not just israel but all the allies of of israel are going to be punished a very severe manner, whether we're looking at africa and we see south africa leading into this and how they they you know look at the us, the west overall... how there is lack of faith now in united nations, which is just really rich people's club of five permanent members, lot a lot of things have really changed on the ground, but think it is too early because there isn't a space at the moment to bring in really different things to happen because of an ongoing war, so once this war has been packed up, we will see lot more that is going to bring israel down, their economy. is in the doll drums, their public opinion is literally completely bottom, rock bottom, so i think the real defeat of israel is will be seen after we
10:25 pm
have seen the arms going silent. okay, mr. mhsin abbas, we have about three minutes left and we're going to have to wrap up this discussion, so uh, with reference to what sakina just said, and we've heard this time and again over the past four days as we've been covering uh these clashes. and the escalation on the uh lebanese border uh, do you also believe that the reason why israelis are targeting civilians is because they have lost the war to the resistance fronts? absolutely, the fact that they even considering going into lebanon and fighting hezbulah uh is a sign to me that they've lost the the lost the war certainly in gaza, they've certainly lost the war internally in terms of the long-term uh possibility of israel remaining, the bottom line is this that they failed on every level, they failed to knock out hamas, they failed to knock out the tunnels that they've got, they failed to
10:26 pm
get their hostages back, their iron dome has been exposed, they've exposed themselves in terms of pr and diplomacy around the world as terrorists at every level, and they've got a an isolation from the the the world public opinion, which hasn't translated totally into the the zio western institutions. totally yet, but even that will be very difficult to resist if the public wakes up at the rate that they are, and the the solution to all this is very simple, uh, you cannot talk about just ceasefires or talk about going back to what it was prior to october the 7th, what we need is the dismantlement of the zionist state, what we need is the establishment of a free palestinian state, and until you get rid of the zionist apartide state and the the fundamental injustice that is there, and the threat that that poses to all of its neighbors, and that going along with that is the exedus of the americans from west asia as well. unless those two things
10:27 pm
happen, the problem will not go away. tinkering around with ceasefires or trying to create two two state solutions, this is all nonsense, it can't happen. the nature of the beast, the nature of design is state is apartide, racism, uh, hegemony, imperialism, and the americans are part and parcel of that, they... 'they are both uh nations born in genocide, they're born of genocide, the the the native americans will tell you what the the us history is on that front, and the palestinians will tell you what they did to them in the nukba, and since and since then our videos and our cameras are telling us exactly what they do, so it is clear that this is a cancer, it is the fundamental cancer which imam khini identified decades ago and said, look, until you take this out, it can't it can't change'. but how do you take it out with a full b? i'm sorry, mr. mosan abbas, we're running out of time uh, but we're gonna have to leave that for our next discussion, said journalist and political commentator joining us from london,
