tv Documentary Gradual Death 2 PRESSTV September 29, 2024 4:02am-4:31am IRST
4:02 am
that those are houses that are absolutely safe houses, all of those people that they're hitting are civilians and truly the goal is to terrorize the lebanese, the people of the south, that really is effectively what is happening, in terms of bomings, it's calmed down over the past few hours, we've been hearing occasional bombings, the most intense ones were yesterday, in the afternoon they calm down, last night they started sending these drones that says that's where um on the they curse the resistance and they have these new drones that... ghost noises in the night, but to me ultimately this is childlish, this is childish behavior, i don't think our children are afraid of them. we have decided to remain in our houses, lot of lebanese people have left, lot of people from our villages left, that is normal, lot of people are scared, their nerves can't take it, but the majority of us are still remaining in our homes, we have several families here in our home, we're very calm, very um and our moral is really really high, i would say our moral has not been higher and i would say in general support surrounding me has never been
4:03 am
higher for the resistance than i've ever seen, even with people from different political views, we've actually seen a way in which people have united, people are giving their house keys uh each other, they're supporting each other, all of our posts online, all of everybody around me, even from my own family that have opposing views to the resistance may be per say or they're not hizbullah supporters to be exact are very much in support, the moral is very high and i would say not one person um has any negative thought when it comes to the resistance ability to be able to lead this war? now 600 uh people at least have been killed in 48 hours, less than 48 hours, we know for certain that many of those were women and children, ipso facto, not hezbollah fighters, the the death doll uh even at this level of a... question is uh is gaza plus, actually
4:04 am
uh, there are few days when 600 people die uh in less than 40 hours in gaza, are you expecting this to continue at this level, or is the relative quiet of the last few hours that you described more likely to be the new normal? to be honest, i think that analysis is not... something that's that we can do right now, i think what we need to do is we need to watch the frontlines and we need to see how situations expand, it's true even in of tammos and the 2006 war we had 1,500 civilians in total for the entirety of 33 days, so it is an unprecedented number, and truly you can see that the entity is so unhinched and it's reached it's genocidal, it's revealed and manifested it's true genocidal reality for the entire world. to
4:05 am
see in terms of how we expect things, again i cannot say i know that in biqa last night was very brutal, the entity continued bombing and mostly civilian neighborhoods, even um like every one of my family members almost has had at least one building explode beside them, there is an absolutely civilian building, whole buildings full of people, it depends, i think that uh the general understanding here on the ground is that we're waiting to see... how far the resistance is go, what is the resistance, what resistance is going to respond to the hits and from what we've seen is that the official statements have been that even that hit on hyfa that started the fadi one and fadi 2 rockets, both of those hit that hit was not for the sake of the dahi assassination and it was not for the sake of the pagers, not as vengeance for the pagers, so we are not sure how far the resistance is going escalate, whatever the resistance decides, i'm sure that the people will
4:06 am
support because uh people here are to death with the resistance uh well the whole audience will be will be uh applauding silently your heroism and determination, i'm sure about that. i wonder if you could give us some insight uh into the impact on children of this last uh period uh because we don't often get to talk to them or hear them, and there's a father of six children, myself, i'm particularly interested in whether they have absorbed their parents determination and understanding of why this is happening, describe if you will, your experience with the children, say in your village, i think the most difficult part in the thing that's broken our hearts a little bit has been looking at the kids to be on. because they
4:07 am
what is their fault? they're tiny little innocent beings and some kids, i can see that that resilience is already manifested in, but think a majority of those kids that's not been the case, we see kids having panic attacks, they freak out, now when the bombing start uh, they start to run into each other, they don't know where they're going, we don't have bomb shelters for example to keep them safe, and we know that the entity does not have mercy anybody, there is always fear from the parent, the child even strays away, come here, don't come, they're very um, very, it's a very difficult situation to care for the children to begin with, to explain to them how serious the situation is without breaking their moral completely, um, it's difficult, it's very difficult, the constant crying, constant, you know, especially from the little ones, it's very, they don't understand what's going on, they don't have really the capability to process the monstrosity that is going on right now, uh, the the earth shakes, our whole house shakes, we can't close windows because they break, you know uh, you
4:08 am
see things getting toppled, you constantly call your family, your friends, so it is a difficult situation for them as well, uh, sometimes they'll leave and they'll leave their grandparents behind, their fathers behind, "uh, it's very heartbreaking to see, especially the little kids, but i'm sure that they will grow up and they will learn resilience from this and they will become stronger. patricia, may god protect you, and i'm sure i speak for the whole audience uh on that. thanks for joining us. joseph robertson is in the comparative safety of london. joseph, what's on your mind? not always that safe in london, i know, but compared to south lebanon, it's safe. where's knives rather than bombs over here fortunately, but um, my question to you george, i guess was how do you feel in terms of the british involvement in this situation, and what can we expect from labor government that doesn't seem to be able to uh, even engage its own citizens in
4:09 am
relative democracy, how are they going to respond to this potential threat of escalation, and do you feel that perhaps britain's involvement in lebanon in recent years? merits in fact some kind of involvement or certainly at least some statement from our side over the next 48 hours. well, thank you, the labor defense minister, a man you'll never have heard of called heeli, uh, not to be confused with a former greater heeli uh once the uh defense minister and many other things in britain. he has just announced at the labor conference. that he's headed for london and a cobra meeting on lebanon, i would have thought that that will have two purposes, the first uh to use uh royal navy assets to try to lift british citizens of whom there are quite some
4:10 am
number uh in lebanon to try and lift them uh out of the war zone uh and that's the least you would expect. a british government to do, but rather more sinisterly, the british government before, the last 60 days and the one we have now, so-called labour government, is up to its neck in the crimes of the israeli state, it is literally actively participating, not just in the much discussed issue of licensing, the selling of ' british weapons to netanyahu, nine out of 10 of those contracts and licenses are continuing, you heard patricia talk there about an f35 delivering death, some 20% of the f-35 is
4:11 am
made in britain, so that f-35 that tried or succeeded in killing people in patricia's. would not be able to do so if it were not for british weapon sales, but even worse than that, are using our sovereign air base in acroteri, in cyprus and somebody else's country, heaven knows why cyprus tolerates such a colonial arrangement whereby british and american war planes and british and american surveillance and aircraft fly daily, hourly actually out of a sipriot airbase without even the even the suggestion of consulting the cipriot government, so we are deeply involved in the conflict in gaza and
4:12 am
in lebanon from that standpoint, and worst of all, i personally have absolutely no doubt and i have reasons for what i'm... about to say that british special forces are present in gaza, and if a ground invasion uh occurs in lebanon. "i have not the slightest doubt that british special forces will be involved in that. britain and the united states are jointly and severally responsible for every crime that has been committed over the last 11 months, nearly one year, and which may change even end the world. thank you, joseph, stephen nemoth is in the united states in fort collins. stephen, what's on your mind?" hey again, george, um, morning, um, so
4:13 am
lavender, the ai, israel is using to target people in palestine, drones in ukraine, telcom security and many other things are removing the human element, which is otherwise present to permit deestilation. um, i guess my question is, at what point can few lunatics lock themselves in a bunk bunker and chain together a scenario that ends the world, and more to the point. um, will getting people into the streets have any impact on that particular form of lunacy? this seems like danger that we haven't seen historically. what about you? yeah, i presume you're referring to the cabinet of uh joe biden and camela harris, the group of lunatics chaining themselves in a bunker and deciding to embark upon the end of the world. that is what it looks like to me. you know, one of my favorite uh films uh over all of my life, has been stanley cubrik's dr. strange love, and dr. strange love, and that cabinet
4:14 am
of people around that round table, many of them played by peter sellers, may god rest him, it it seemed like science fiction, dr. strange love, but it looks more and more like the reality we are currently living through. first of all, i have. absolutely no doubt that the us cabinet or us government rather uh, not the group of people cheared by dr. jill biden this week, i'm sure they were not consulted, but the us government green lit this massive escalation of the war in lebanon, i haven't the slightest doubt about that, they say that they did not know about that, about the pager attacks, i don't believe them, and i don't believe... that israel would be making such enormously escalatory moves uh without the express green
4:15 am
light of the united states government as to what are getting people on the streets will stop it, well probably not, but what else can we do but get onto the streets? we have an obligation to do everything that we can, if you're a believer. like me uh, you you have an obligation to be able to answer on the judgment day that you did what you could uh to try and stop these crimes uh, but whether the american government will in the short-term listen, must be serious doubt, but the rage against the war machine activities at the end of this month in washington are enormously important, and they are... are uh pulling together quite widely disperate
4:16 am
political forces and personalities. i myself was invited but cannot go, but the span of the speakers and the organizations supporting the uh rage against the war machine is very impressive indeed, so anyone listening, watching in the united states should struggle might and main, to get themselves to washington for that uh particular action. thank you for that call. dr. abdullal flara is in england in leads. doctor, welcome to the show. hello, hello george, nice to see you. thank you very much for inviting me and lovely to see you again. i think last time we met that was 11th of february this year. my question for you j it's given the longest standing occupation of the palestinians land,
4:17 am
continuous violation of international law and recent israel escalation in libano. as you mentioned, just in 24 hours, more than 600 people killed a lot of children, woman. what do you believe are the most effective strategy politically and diplomacy for achieving lasting justice and sovereinity. for the palestinian people, especially in the face of powerful international actors who seems to shield israel from accountability. thank you, we have to do everything. that's within our power to do it, our power in leads is uh is limited uh, our power in the united states is greater, because they've got a presidential election coming up, and they've got congressional elections coming up, and the first call i have to make to all american voters is whatever you do, do not vote for
4:18 am
camela harris, because the biden harris. administration is up to their necks in the blood that we are discussing and describing here. i would prefer if you voted for the only jewish candidate in the race, dr. jill stein, uh, because she's the only candidate openly committed to support for the people of palestine, for the people of lebanon, and opposition to the apartite state, all the others. are to one degree or another bought and paid for by the uh apartite state, so whoever you vote for though, don't vote for kamela harris, don't reward genocide, the power of the people in other countries like ours where our people just elected genocide
4:19 am
government, they just rewarded a genocide prime minister. with a record parliamentary majority, or be it on only 34% of the vote, but goddamn the 34% idiots that did it, god damn them, they had choices, they had alternatives, they had alternatives including me, and they did not take them, so they are responsible for the crimes that are being committed by the government that they elected. or allowed uh to be elected, there's no getting away from that. i'm not one of these people who likes to say uh, you know, curse the government, not the people. in our country, the people elect the government, and they could have removed the government, and they could have elected an alternative to the government, but they did not do so, and so
4:20 am
share the blame. we have to. keep in perspective the success of what we're achieving, everyone, including me, is guilty of exaggerating the impact that we are having, we read routinely say, for example uh that israel has lost the public relations war, that's actually not true, you know, there are millions of people, millions of people, in your country, my country, in the united states who fully support what netanyahu is doing, and we have not persuaded them yet. we routinely say our boycots are working. i've been telling people for the last 12 months that starbucks has closed its operations in dublin and renamed its
4:21 am
starbucks outlet in dublin airport. and what do i see this very morning, but starbucks in dublin airport and full of consumers, so we have to redouble our boycot efforts, that after voting, after demonstrating, boycotting comes next, and we're not doing enough boycotting, and we're not persuading enough people to follow the boycot. i'm very proud of... my own family and their total and absolute dedication to the boycott, but can we all say the same? can we say the same about our next door neighbor? can we say the same about our workmates and our extended families? until we can, don't tell me that we are winning the boycott war, never confuse
4:22 am
the thousands with the millions. it's been a political rubric of mine. father frank. gelly, my old friend and regular guest joins us from london, father frank, uh, i, i know lebanon very well, and including the places being bombed, i, i have been in lebanon and syria in the places where jesus walked, and in the places where they still speak the language of jesus aramaic, "the christian world is remarkably silent about the fact that bethlehem, nazareth, jazin and the very hills. on which jesus and the disciples walked are under israeli bombardment, what say you? um, so um, one of my greatest
4:23 am
friends was the late archbishop hilariocci, a palestinian who was arrested in prison by israelis of smuggly arms to palestiny resistance. and even in later life is nearly 80 year old, he took place to part in the navis mamar attempt to force the israeli blocated on gaza, so i see archbishop kaputch as an emblematic christian figure showing how as a christian one can forcefully fight oppression, and i should add, i considered axiomatic besign. israelis, netanyahu, all facets of the same problem, only listen to force, only force will eventually persuade
4:24 am
the israelis to give up butchering innocent palestinians, women, children, innocent, all resolutions, all ethical considerations sign is not careful, now so my question for you george is given but now the balance of force is seems disproportionally on the side of the zinis, what can be done about realistically speaking? if told you what i think i would do, think i would be arrested, i would barred, so i'm not going to say what i would do, but i would like to have your opinion, well that's the world and that's the country we're now living in, you, a priest can... not speak freely, a member of the british parliament for almost over almost 40 years, 38 years, i as a television presenter, a
4:25 am
broadcaster, cannot speak freely about what we think, for fear of arrest, for fear of the show being removed, that's part of our problem and a part of our current uh weakness. uh, so i can't answer you anymore than you could ask me. i cannot say what i think should be done. i can only safely say what i think will be done, and that is that the any ground invasion uh by israeli forces of lebanon is doomed to filia. i think the level of israeli casualties would be far too high for the israeli. government to survive for the israeli public to uh tolerate uh the israeli public doesn't care how many hundreds
4:26 am
of thousands of palestinians and lebanese are killed, but the israeli public cares disproportionately about tens and scores of israeli soldiers being killed and thousands would be killed in my considered opinion in any ground. invasion, so i don't actually expect that ground invasion to happen, and in that i'm with our guest at the beginning of the show, which means they'll continue to, as they have done in gaza, deal death and destruction a grand scale from the air, now question is who's going to come to lebanon's aid, she said, she ruled out, doesn't speak for iran of course, but she ruled out any iranian involvement. i thought that was quite a significant thing to say, because iran has
4:27 am
been saying for many weeks uh that is about to uh respond, so if if batul is right, there will be no iranian rescue of the lebanese masses. russia has anti-aircraft battle. in syria just up the road, including the s-400, which could knock these f35s out of the sky before they were able to bomb, is russia going to come to lebanon's aid, i very much doubt that is macron who's called for security council meeting, is macron going to be the savior of the lebanese people, i very much doubt that also. so i think you and i, father, have got to get down on our knees and ask the almighty to come to the aid of the
4:28 am
innocent women and children. being slaughtered right now in lebanon as they have been for a whole year in gaza, with no government, meaningfully, standing up for them, coming to their aid, no international organization, meaningfully, it's been a lot of uh cosmetics, but meaningfully uh coming to their aid and stopping this disaster, my apologies to all those who didn't get through to the show, time flies uh when you're having a show as good as i hope you thought this one was, have it out with galloway is a unique show where you get to appear on the show, you get to be a part of the show, and memorably is so in many, many cases, so join us, right to us at havitoutwithgallaway.com to be guest
