has fieled in its two main military objectives, but what it has done is what they promised to do, which was to turn gaza into a car park, so whatever uh designs they have on gaza going forward, whether or not they totally uh ethnically clans the northern part of gaza and have two million people living in tents, they don't have uh any toilet facilities, they're suffering from disease and from famon and from hunger and in lebanon uh they're doing exactly the same thing, this is how gas is started, gaza started with bombs, it started with uh artillery strikes, it started with er strikes, it started with ground ground miss, that's exactly what we're witnessing in lebanon, we're maybe going to in have over a thousand casualties and maybe and maybe 10 th00 injuries uh within the next few days. so the decision really is, i look at

what's happening in all the places that i've just mentioned, it is the civilians and gaza who are suffering, it is the civilians in lebanon who are suffering, it is the the civilians in the west bank who are suffering, the israeli society is responsible for electing netanyahu, smok rich galant and and giver, all these people are blood thirsty. murderers, they all have blood on our hands, they all want to create a greater arats israel, while israelis are safe in their homes intel avive and in west jerusalem, israely society is paying no price in my opinion for its genocidal war against the people of west asia, thanks, can i ask you just to hold a quick second, we have to take a short break at which point i'll be leaving and your colleague is going to take over, but

far viewers, we're in the middle of rolling coverage with respect to nearly a week now of israeli onslaught on lebanese on lebanon, lebanese people, lebanese infrastructure culminating in deaths of many civilians including women and children, also the martterdom of uh late hez leader now sayid hassan, now we're following developments very closely, including reactions from world leaders and protest throughout the country against that assassination uh, i'm going to take a short break we share a a short clip with respect to the life and legacy of late hisbullah leader, stay safe and we'll be right back, people. hisbullah secretary general saysan nasrallah was born in late august 1960, east beirut. at the age of 16, nasralah moved to the iraqi holy city of najaf for religious education a seminary. he then continued to learn islamic teachings in lebanon and later in the iranian holy city of quum. but how did nasa enter politics?

nasaralah joined the amel movement in 1975, a time when lebanon was grappling with a civil war. 1982, israel launched an aggression against lebanon and consequently invaded the arab country and the civil war. in that year, while this agreements grew over how to resist the israeli invasion, nasralah joined hezballah a newly form resistance movement. in 1985, hezbollah related. his first manifesto. in the same year, nasrollah became the head of hisbollah's executive council, responsible for implementing the decisions of the movement's shora council. it was in february 1992 when nasa became hezbollah's secretary general following the assassination a of his predecessor abbas al-musavi an israeli air strike. under nasaralah's leadership, hezballah carried out series of anti-israel operations forcing israeli forces to withdraw from southern lebanon. but his name has been

synonymous with heroic resistance against the israeli military during a war in 2006 that lasted 33 days. on august 14th, 2006, the war ended with a crushing defeat for the israeli military thanks to the lebanese resistance and the role of nasrolah. when the us israri genocide in gaza began in october 2023, hezbollah, under the leadership of nastrolah, stood firmly in support of palestinians. "a day after the launch of the genocidal war, hezbollah began its retaliatory attacks on israeli military positions in the occupied palestinian territories. nastral about that the retaliatory attacks would continue as long as israel carries out its genocidal campaign against palestinians. nasrallah a shiah cleric is revealed among the muslim world for his charismatic leadership of hesbollah and his steadfastness in the fight against israel." hi everybody, i'm your host

uh that will uh continue with our special coverage on the mardem of uh leader, the late leader of. now let's continue fra hus, my guest journalist, author and activist in belfast fra, we still are receiving reports that uh the israeli forces are bombing lots of targets inside lebanon even after the assassination of the hezballah leader. and there the victims are mainly women and children and civilians. let's have your take on that. well, it's exactly the same as gaza. why are they continuing to bomb gaza? why are they boming people living in tents? why are they shooting at medics? why are they

basically murdering anybody who is uh walking freely around uh gaza? this is this whole idea of collective punishment. so there is... really uh war criminal cabinet is probably holding the whole of lebanese society to account for the resistance of hezballah and it's an attempt to prevent the genocide in gaza, so hezballah, the lebanese resistance, the yeamenis and the iraqi resistance have all been fighting uh under what i believe is uh international law to prevent the further... continuation of the genocide uh in gaza uh so what what they're doing is the're the the're obviously on one level trying to degrade the military capabilities of uh hezballah in lebanon uh but they don't cur

they they are prepared to murder 100 people in order to eliminate assassinate murder and kill uh hassan uh nozralla so there there well. "what we're really facing here is the supremist ideology of zanism, which is a political ideology, it's not a religion, it's a nationalist movement, but it's supported by people whose vision of the greater israel will have no palestinians and will in part be in jordan and iraq and in lebanon and in syria and i believe uh parts of egypt uh trump stated the other day that uh..." in his typical fashion, he said, you know, israel's quite a small country, there's room for expansion, so he's obviously being bought and paid for uh by the uh israeli financial uh elite and he's already coming out prior to the election in november prior to his

potential uh and being the the next incombent of president of uh the united states uh and he's already talking about an expanded uh israel so... he's not talking about gaza, he could be talking about southern lebanon, uh, but if if if they have a ground attack, i think at the moment, what we're witnessing is this supremist chosen people, uh, at ideology that they are above everyone, they are the chosen people, their lives are more important than anybody else's, i believe is really society has been brainwashed for the last 70, 70 years, 74 years. 76 years, they have been breenweised into believing that uh they have the right to a greater israel, they have the right to remove all the indigenous people from the lands that they covered and seek to occupy. i believe the supremist ideology is

fascist, it is racist ideology, and the fact that they have the imperialist uh anglo-saxon conglomerates in the west uh servicing them with money. political cover and uh ammunition, missiles, boots, planes, submarines, they are being giving the technology to destroy the people uh in the region, and i i feel very strongly that the uh tweet sent out by the uh former general of one one of the iranian republican guards core i believe, he he he basically said you know they've attacked gaza, they're not attacking lebanon. what will stop them going from lebanon to syria, syria to iraq and eventually to iran? the americans for the last year in the political arena, both in the region and in the un have always called for no escalation, no escalation, no escalation,

what they're really saying is no retaliation from sovereign nations in the region against this genocidal racist fight. regime in tel aviv, the resistance has a choice, are they going to stand alone independently and be knocked over like dominos or chest pieces a chest? support or do they act collectively now to try and prevent further genocide down the road? the danger here and all of this is the american sixth fleet is sitting there in the mediterranean ready to go as soon as someone really uh retaliates uh against uh the the even the civil infrastructure inside israel because as as i said before israely society is paying the price for the genocidal murder rampage across the region, hezballah,

all the resistance groups and the palestiny resistance groups are targeting military targets only, they're targeting military infrastructure, and i understand that's because they have morality, they are involved a resistance against racist, fascist regime, but that fascist regime has the gloves off, we're going to kill as many people as the... think they need to kill to uh to obtain their uh or attain their objectives, so is really society, they may be hiding in their bunkers, they may be sitting in their homes, but they face no real repercussions for the actions that their sons and daughters, their brothers and sisters and their mothers and fathers are caring out this genocide as we speak, so while israeli society is not... held responsible for the actions of its government and the actions of its army, i think israeli

society, which apparently 80% of them want more death in gaza, they want more death in lebanon, they probably if you ask them want iran to be attacked, there is no real opposition to what's happening in the israeli war cabinet, because israeli society is supremist european construction within west asia that... is determined to eliminate anyone who stands up against them, that someone that's a child with a stone in front of a tank, that is someone with slingshot a a protest, that is someone who has gun or rifle and they will blow up the house, they will blow up the apartment block, they will blow up the street, they will murder as many people as they think uh is necessary to as i say obtain their uh objectives and what what is everyone doing sitting back watching this live this genocide uh tot tutting and saying

what a terrible thing it is why can't someone do something about it why doesn't somebody do something about it the only people who can protect the citizens of west asia or the people of west asia there is no one coming to their ead i'm sorry to say you just have the people in iraq you have the people potentially in iran in lebanon uh in syria in yemen and in uh gaza and the occupied territories, they can only defend themselves, they can do other. the question is, do they have enough resources, do they have enough capabilities, and uh, while america and france and britain continue to, i mean, all all these bombings are coordinated, targets are chosen for what for whatever logistical reasons, israel is... but the americans with the overflicts and the british from cyprus, there will be a command and control center

that does not just have uh israeli war criminals, it will have american, british, french and possibly german war criminals all acting in a chord, picking the targets deciding how many people are going to die when they drop a 2000 pound bomb or a 500 pound bomb top of uh helpless people, there there are no uh... shelters at gaza, there are no rage shelters in the west bank, i don't believe there are any in beirot, but telavive's full of them, so this is this is the the dilemma, at what point does israeli society pay a price for what they're doing, and this rampage, this murderous assault upon innocent men, women and children, which sadly we have all seen before, 2006, 2000, 2009. operation castled in gaza, i went a medical air convoy to gaza in 2010 with george

galloway, i'm a director of palestine ead, it's a registered charity, uh, what we're doing is we're feeding 300 families in gaza uh, once every every two weeks uh, it's a family of like six people, and that is all i can do as an individual, all i'm going to do is try and raise money and try and show solidarity and try and show... uh respect uh for the people in gaza and try and alleviate some of the uh horrendous circumstances that they find themselves living in, but everybody must do more. but if if you have with the greatest respect, if you have a conciliatory president who is reaching out all of branches to the west, he obviously does not know the history of the west and the history that they have against iran and against the excuse me, the axis of resistance, so i don't mean to be

disrespectful, but anyone who looks outside of west asia for assistance, uh, personally, i, i think they're wasting their time, they're being naive, and they're perhaps showing a weakness, when they perhaps should be showing strength. okay, if you allow me fraud, let me just give a little update to our viewers just joined us, of course, they can see on press of screens, the live images that we have received from karache. the major city in pakistan where people are out there on foot, on bikes and different ways and they are caring the red flags and banners of hezballah showing their support for hezballah and they're also morning and preparing for morning actually the moderam of the leader

and also reports are out uh again regarding the uh israeli forces hitting different parts of southern lebanon and also retaliatory attacks that are going on by hezballah fighters for instance says it's hit inside the occupied territories also almanara area where iof soldiers were moving so retaliation is also taking place bit by hezballah by resistance uh movement in iraq and by yemen, and the same time, people are also out there, as you can see, this is karachi, pakistan, rallies have already been held in many countries, including iran, iraq, jordan, elsewhere, australia, and uh, we're expecting more rallies to be held today and later on,

so uh, fra, let me uh, just ask you, uh regarding you know experience shows and history has shown actually uh that when resistance fighters and commanders are killed any part of the resistance front beat iran like we had the martter sulaimani or in lebanon like the hezballah leadersan uh we've seen that uh the movement doesn't die or we had hania the top official, tell us about the secret for this that resistance persists and uh somebody else will take over and they will continue on the path of the marters. okay, well oppression breeds resistance, so you have to have oppression before you have resistance, you have to have a regime or a

government or an occupation that is brutal that ' beats the people down uh represses and censors freedom of speech and holds people in bondage, so that's what we have when we look at the extension of the israeli state. now - revolutionary resistance to me is living, breathing, organic being. so what we have are, it's like uh, i've grown up through the troubles here uh in the north of ireland. i grew up in the period. of resistance but still continues in some respects today against the british occupation, continuing occupation of the north of ireland. people used to say, you may kill the revolutionary, but you'll never kill the revolution, and of one fighter days, so long as one person comes forward, picks up that rifle to continue that

resistance, the revolution not only will never die, it will succeed, so what we have with the marder. will be thousands of young lebanese men and boys and i would say in iraq and in yemen and in syria and potentially in iran you will have a grown swell of people who have seen how uh said hassan lived his life as a humble pious man we dedicated his political and military service to the people of his country and his nation and the wider region, people see that kind of leadership, people respect that kind of leadership and ultimately people want. that kind of leadership, but the most important thing about a true leader, a true leader is not someone who is in power uh, because they uh

want to be in a position uh where where where they are feeded as almost a celebrity, a true leader, empaurs the people around him, not so when he or her are no longer here that people can uh aspire to their role. a leader and powers people, it gives people the skills and the confidence going forward to be able to carry out all the different various parts of uh the resistance. hezballah is not just a resistance movement, it is not just a military resistance movement, it has a political party which is elected to the uh lebanese uh parliament, "it also has a whole raft of social programs in order to help bring people out of poverty in order to uh

help those in distress. the whole ethos of hezballah is contained within uh as shiah islam and that fight against oppression, that fight on behalf of the vulnerable, that fight to protect the innocent, that is a core. part of hezballah and hamas and islamic jihad and the popular front for the liberation of uh palestine and the iraqi pmus and the anserala movement uh in yemen, these people have my total and utmost respect, because these people are willing to fight and die to end oppression and end injustice, and is that not what everyone in the world should be striving? to do to create better world, and in order to do that, we must de smarttle the institutions that do not work on behalf of the people, but work on behalf of the

international imperialist financial corporate conglomerates, but we're witnessing israel's attack within the different parts of west asia, that this this is always being designed by the imperialist west in order. to first they balcanized uh south africa, then they, mean the continent, then they balcanized uh the middle east, they drews with sex people, they created nations and states that that never existed prior to 1917, they they create division and dysfunction and they stir up sectarian haid and then they created israel right in the middle of the uma in order to divide - to balcanize the region politically and religiously, they used saudi arabia and the united arab emirates to attack syria, they created isis in conjunction with the

cia, they fermented civilian uh sectarian strife in lebanon between the falans supported by the west and the french and uh and the lebanese resistance groups like amal. they they... saudi arabia on the gulf states in the back pockets of uh the american uh administration and israel is there to to continue and to fement straight within the uma to keep dividing sunni and shia and arab and persian because they know if there was real unity within the region if you could have saudi arabia standing weside iran. 'if you could have the uae standing beside yemen, perhaps we wouldn't be in the position we're in today where the umar is divided and you have what i believe to be the accents of

resisting resistance or the access of jihad as i've heard it call recently fighting for truth and justice and against oppression and then you have the other part of the uma which is saudi arabia, uae'. these these are all acting uh against the interests of justice, against uh they they are the oppressors, they are defending uh western american imperialism with with in the region, so without the unity it'll be very very very difficult to stand up against the israelis and hold the idea of the war criminal. and i have heard it said

that the attack upon uh said hassan, nasralla, peace be upon him, that that was given by netanyahu at the united nations uh council, so he was there speaking to the americans in the background, this is obviously being planned, the pages, the walky talkees, the degradation of hisblah's uh military uh response uh the attack upon the civilian infrastructure. he didn't wake up last week and to say, hey, let's go bob lamb on, this is all part of the their graduated continued approats, first destroy gaza, then destroy the west bank, then destroy lebanon, i mean there's millions of people potentially on the move, i've seen coverage of people, syrians fleeing back to syria, syria is now safer and lebanon, uh, hard to believe uh, in some circumstances, but who's who's next? "if

they're not stopped, will we be here in a month's time talking about the bowing of iraq or talking about the bombing of iran, at such at such, it's not intractable situation, i just want to put the blame firmly where it should be, and that is with america, pick up a phone b and tell him it's over, but what did he do? he said that the assassination of hassan nasara uh, was justice for his victims a sanalah only..." existed to protect the people of lebanon against western hegemonic interference, and this is all about resources, somewhere down the line, it's about the oil in saudi arabia, it's about the gas that's off gaza, it's it's about selling uh western military equipment to west asia, it's about selling a phones, it's about selling uh apple phones uh, this is this is all all it's ever been is about resource

theft and slab the people of west asia and a monetary financial bananza for western companies and by extraction western politicians. okay, thanks uh for that uh fra huse. allow me to bring our correspondent from levan, mari am sal standing by our correspondent in beirot, and as we are airing live images from the lebanese capital beirout. let's bring in mariamsala and uh ask her for an update. yes, well the israeli shelling has continued all across lebanon, and the recent most recent challenge was in the southern suburbs of beirot, we learned that the israelies struck a residential building in the area of the huaitity, and it's not clear whether it is a drone attack or shelling from airplanes since that the the sounds of explosions were not as loud.
