into all the people who own the mod most of the tech companies, most of the large uh, huge large corporate conglomerates, you'll find that the zionists have a massive hold and contribution and they get a say in this too, because at the end of the day in what what if they're all going for plunder and money and trade and dominance, then of course all of the partners in crime, the whole syndica has to have a say in this, and so i bring back the black rocks and the state streets and the kind of uh vanguards and all these big transnational corporations who who straddle in incidentally who go to china and also do business there, they're doing business everywhere, so the the reality also one has to look at is is there is it that somebody really just wanted a conflict because conflict happens to allow change to take place and for the global infrastructure to be restructured, i mean let's just look at russia because my my sister did bring uh some really interesting points about russia and it, well russia... has one of the largest

number of citizens who actually become israeli israeli occupier occupy occupation settlers occupiers so russia has huge problem saying anything to israel that that's going to upset it they they do their best not to upset it um russia has many other links which can be ex in syria the cover they give in terms of aircraft does not apply to to israel, israel could bomb what it likes in syria and russia says, fine, has russia ever launched its system of s400s or s300s or whatever it is, they've supposedly given the syrians, the syrians are allowed to use them, i've never heard of any one of those uh, and of those systems being used against israeli aircraft flying by, because they are off the record agreements and the americans and the russians have open channels uh as to what they should and shouldn't do in this region as well, so i don't think that that that so therefore... "even the the russian

involvement, and yes they do have a port in latakia that they wanted to to retain absolutely, but it's much more complicated in terms of it when israel gets involved, there even russia doesn't have vested interest in really being uh totally allied to the axis of resistance, and it shows, because again on the un security council you don't really see that much of push coming from either the chinese or the russians, though of course for the chinese in this region they are the ones..." along with their other corporate backers who are looking to develop the uh the the the the the belt and road uh initiative, the the whole trade initiative and networking of this region, and one would have thought that they would have had huge interest in trying to create peace in this region or reigning in israel, not to be such a mad dog, because ultimately surely they are doing all these deals, cutting 200 pound billion dollar deals for this railway and that that road work and these north south corridors of of

trade and pipelines that be built, the the various other uh trade roots, well if trade is the their game, then you'd have thought that the last thing you need for for a trade, a trade network is a nation like israel which knows no boundaries as to what it will do and causes conflict and war and triggers instability in the region, because for good trade you need stability, and of course west asia has some of the largest amounts of energy and other resources that are absolutely vital to growing china and and you'd have thought that they would have pushed much harder to try and uh create peace, so people tend not to raise this, but i don't think that the chinese and the russian role in in uh pushing the americans has been strong enough, i think that we need far more effort from the these bigger uh superpower type nations who have nuclear power to to step forward and act as deterrant uh creators because one by one they're all

going to be targeted, china's got taiwan as a sort of a boiling boiling point and the russians boiling point in ukraine has already been triggered and for the west asia of course israel is the boiling point which keeps west asia rattled, so this is all of course coming from the interests of global uh money mafia parasites, the americans are part parcel of that as the boots on the ground and as the distributors of of the cash on the front l "i don't this, i don't see, i don't see economic destruction of israel as being the the real thing that will decide it. i think ultimately it's going to be whether the citizenry and whether the military uh in israel are capable of of keeping the west, well keeping the axis of resistance at bay and and staving it off, and i think they're rattle that the advances that iran is making technologically without russian help, without chinese help." they're developing drones,

they've developed satellites which are now circling the earth, they've got ballistic missiles of more and more sophisticated natures and longer and longer reach, it's only matter of time that... "such things as the robotics and their advancement in biological engineering and nanotechnology, they're rapidly moving forward, and this scares, i think the angyinist empire and the israelis more than anything else, and i should drop the nuclear uh, the nuclear weapon scenario as well, on all fronts, iran, if you were to let iran, according to the israelis and the americans, if you're going to let iran another 10 years continue on the trajectory of technological and other uh economic progress that it's making uh, then they're going not, they're certainly not going to be able to stop iran then, they will have no chance, so it could be that they evaluated that we've got to go for it now, we have to have this war with to control this region now, otherwise if we leave it for another 10 years, it's going to backfire on

us, iran of course says it will strongly maintain the resistance and it's committed to the defense of ezb and lebanon and it will not just stand id by and let the resistance collapse. any of that region and they will continue with their cognitive warfare, they they played the game very cleverly with spreading of panic among israelies, they don't the israelis don't advertise how panicked their people are, the fact that they're waiting for these this this shower of iranian ballistic missiles is playing on the minds of the citizens there, the fact that the odd yemani ballistic missile or ballistics have started coming in as well, it's all increasing the the pressure on the simmering frog. no, and i think that the the the reality is that the if it was down to the axis, they will continue uh with this steady collective response, hitting israel from all angles, not let necessarily letting any one them become the the soul target, and to increase that pressure. for their part,

israel is saying, let's get that hot war going and get these americans in, if if my colleague is right that within the next three or four weeks, the the americans do want to get more seriously involved, that's questionable. i mean i would have thought maybe they're waiting for the presidency that to be over and then the new president comes in and maybe then they decide what they're going to do, but like like we say we cannot predict the actions of these uh these kinds of uh absolutely uh villainous uh morality free uh people in israel that are ruling the nation and indeed their their followers because they all love the idea of killing palestinians and genociding them they they every every pole tells you that the israeli citizenry that they drafted in is very happy with netanyahu uh you know basically carpet bombing places and and genociding children, they've got no problem with that whatsoever. on that note, i would like to thank mr. sayid morson abbas as always uh giving us his precious time uh he's a journalist and

political commentator who joined us from london. mr. said abbas, thank you, i will be talking to you again sir. uh now we've got breaking news that just came in lebanese ministry of health that's saying that 105 people have been killed, around 360 injured in the israeli strikes across lebanon on sunday alone uh back to you uh miss hatum i believe uh miss hatum uh like what mr. mosan abbas said well um go ahead go ahead is there a question or do you want me to make a comment on what he said no good. all right, um, so to start, first and foremost, i do agree with him, it's, it usually filters down to the main decision makers when it comes not only to the united states, but the whole world. we're talking about investment funds, the largest investment funds in the world who control all businesses who control all

lobbies and that way they control the decision making process not only in the us but also in europe and elsewhere. and when we talk about black rock, if you look at our vanguard or others, if you look at the businesses that filter down the... dream that they control on either side, they control the businesses and their competitors, when it comes to uh arms dealing, they have massive percentage cuts in what you call the arms manufacturing companies, they have basically large investments in food and agriculture companies and tobacco among others, and all of those are the main lobbies, food, medicine, big pharma and war related. the businesses like basically weapons manufacturing, they control the main politicians that actually do the voting and have decision making power or ability in any government that includes the united states, those look for gains and they look for money and they look for their best interest, they

don't give a dam about what happens to populations across the world, so the longer you have destabilizing agent in every region that means your war manufacturing businesses that you have invested in will continue to work, that includes the israeli side. israel is factor or nail as we say that they have pinned in this region to create that war and continue. basically to use it as excuse to fund the investments that they have actually grown over the past decades, same thing goes to big farma, look at the vaccines that they tried to push across the world, look at medicines and other things and most of them, the united states itself, dr. fauti and others, they finally caved in and said, for example the vaccines that had to do with covid did not work properly, some of them caused side effects. that are more deadly than the than the disease itself and now they're trying to push what the the next

booster when it comes to uh covid nobody speaks about flue anymore everybody speaking about covid so anyway moving on food and agriculture gmos they're trying to push it across the world uh monsanto the largest basically company that does gmo related food that controls most of what goes into uh people's ballies in in the united states is expanding abroad and they do control certain markets all of that all of that filters down to business, this war is all about business, nobody cares about anything, so we're talking about energy, trade roots and what brings business to them, that's right uh, miss hatum, miss hatum, mr. mosan abbas also said uh, you talked about these designers entity or washington, the americans, the collective west, they're trying to suppress other countries, especially uh smaller countries from development growth. well the thing is, it's not the fact that they want to to

suppress them from development growth, they also want to take over, if you want to suppress somebody from development growth and you keep the people over there and you control their decision making process, that's one thing, but look at the israeli entity itself, it doesn't have fixed borders until today, it doesn't have fixed borders with lebanon, north syria, and that's because they want to take over more land, so it's not only the fact that... they don't want others to be as advanced as they are and they cannot basically, they also don't want them to grow big and want they don't want them to fight against them, they don't want to give them the the chance to be able to fight them, that's why everybody was surprised when we learned including ourselves, when we learn that hizballah owned what you call an air defense system, the the thing that my brother actually mentioned before he left and that's where i draw a question mark, he claimed that this syrians were not allowed to use their 200, 300 or 400 against the israelis. i want

to remind him of february 2018, when the syrians shot down an f-16 and israeli f-16 and it fell shortly inside the syrian golan heights, remember the syrians have deployed all their air defense systems in rief dar, that's basically southern syria, closer to the gulan heights and closer to the southern lebanese borders as well. that means the syrians mean business. and they never shide away from using their air defenses against the israelis, every single time that the israeli planes fly close at close proximity to the syrian areas, they get shot at by the air defense systems. that's why the israelis don't shoot or don't bombard syria from above syrian airspace, since 2018 until today it was very rare, why? because they know that they will be shut down and that the syrians are very accurate in terms of their air defense systems. what do the israelis do in exchange? they fly over lebanese territories and shoot. over to the syrian side from there, and they know that the syrians will not retaliate with their air defense systems

across the border towards lebanon, because that means it will harm civilians if it actually misses its target, that means that the israelis are taking the whole of lebanon, including its civilians as human shields while they carry out their terrorist attacks against syria, and this is something very critical that the west needs to know, they are taking people as human shields and then they accuse us of doing so, every accusation that the israel is put out is something that the israelis are doing, not the other side, that's right, mr. uh, from the reports that we had since uh october 7th till now, the attacks by or the reprisal attacks, the operations by hamas, by hezbollah, by yemen, the yemeni armed forces and the hufis, they were all on not civilian infrastructure, but military infrastructure or military posts and those places, so... as you said uh, miss atum, if you could stay with us, we also have mr. fra, journalist and author, journalist

author and activist from belfast joining us as well, uh, mr. hughes, welcome to press tv, uh, mr. hugs, your initial thoughts on the assassination of the hezballah chief, and that people are saying that the assassination of sayed hasan nasrulah was uh, because of desperation. well firstly i'd like to offer my condolences to all the marters both in gaza and the west bank and in uh lebanon uh the loss of said hassan nazralah. is huge loss uh not only to the lebanese people, the lebanese resistance and the access of jihad in west asia, it's a huge loss for anyone who's involved in uh anti-imperialism, anyone who looks to a leader in the world who stands up against american imperialist uh hegemony,

it is a loss for all of us when i heard of the tragic. assassination, murder, slaughter of all the people that were murdered uh alongside uh nazralla uh, i thought of people like patrice lamumba, i thought of allende in chili, i thought of shavara and i also thought of uh khasim solomani and ismael hanie and all and president these these were all visionary leaders, people who wanted to create better world, long before people talked about this new multipolar world order being born, uh, being born in opposition to american and western imperialism, being born out of the uh unilateral course of measures that have been forced on venezuela and north

korea and china and russia and iran, to name uh just few uh, losing this rela is is huge loss to to all of us and he will be morned by more people outside of lebanon i believe and outside of the region uh in the wider global south and by people like myself who had nothing but total respect uh for all the people i just mentioned, my respect for them is because they were visionary leaders we wanted to create better world, they wanted to use the resources in their country for the... benefit of the citizens of their country, not for the benefit of corporations, not for the benefit of the elite, not for the benefit of people who are already billionaires and want more money uh in order to uh become the richest person in the world, so it's it's a huge loss for everyone who's involved in the

struggle to create uh better world and i think uh you know going forward uh our main concerns uh will be h hezballah will be able to uh regroup and restructure uh although i believe they've already - named the uh the successor so we want to just talk briefly about what's happening and i was watching some of the uh i think it's video coverage that people may be taking of their phones off the skyline of bayrut and watching individual apartments being targeted just like they do in gaza, watching the destruction and aviseration of whole families uh in lebanon, just ordinary lebanese people, unconnected the any political party, unconnected to the conflict, but being used as collateral damage

by the israelis when they're trying to target anyone who they believe uh is standing in resistance against. "the israelis will shoot a child throwing a stone a tank, they will shoot a person fiaring a slingshot, they will fire a missile at someone who has a gun protecting their home, their family and their communities, but what struck me very, very, very startly was when i saw these attacks on the bayroot skyline, it reminded me of uh operation uh, shock and ore and..." "the americans and the british unleashed on iraq in their illegal war, it just seemed to be exactly the same picture, exactly the same destruction, exactly the same wave of evil and violence being visited upon people, we don't have bomb shelters, we don't have somewhere to hide, we don't have safe place to reside in, and they are just murdering

people at will, and that stuck me, we all know the americans which are playing the..." finances to keep the the israeli economy alive, it's financing the war, it's militarily supplying the armaments for the war, it's supplying the political coverage in the un, it's providing the propaganda and the mainstream media in the west in order to control the narrative for a western audience that somehow israel has the right to protect itself, when we all know it's a racist, supremist, fascist state being... by evil psychopaths uh who are purely a reflection of israeli society, 80% of israeli society wants the slaughter to continue in gaza. and i'm sure if you ask them today, they want the slaughter to continue in lebanon, they believe with their chosen people narrative

that their lives are uh more worthy than arabs and persians and the shia and the sunni muslims and the christians who live in uh palestine and the christians who live in syria and the christians she live in lebanon, so the struggle is against this... colonial imperialist footprint within west asia, but if you if you accept the analogy that the bowing of beirot is just like the boming of baghdad in 2003, then that points the finger that the americans are not only supplying the arms and some of the intelligence and the satellite photographs and also the the their flights that are flying over lebanon and their sixth. fleet that's off the lebanese mediterranean coast uh, it's just my opinion, but it looks more and more that the americans are potentially directing this war, and the

war reports that the attack upon uh said hassan, nasralla, peace be upon him that that decision was taken by netanyahu when he was in new york in consultation with the american administration, so the american fingerprints are all over this. from the 8th of october, the americans have tried diplomatically to prevent anyone else joining in this uh war uh, if we can call it this resistance against this imperialist colonial outpost uh that is israel, they have spent every weeking or trying to convince iran and yemen and iraq and the lebanese not to get involved in the conflict between, uh, it's not even between hamas and the israeli state, it's between the palestinian people of gaza and the israelite state, and it appears that what the americans

have done for nearly one year is create the circumstances, the space and the narrative to allow israel to obliterate gaza, now they have failed to defeat hamas, they have failed to recover their hostages uh, but what they have done is... "they have turned gaza into a car park, which is what they promised to do, they have destroyed so much of the infrastructure and the buildings, and they have up to two million people living in tents, who are starving, who are dying from malnutrition who who are being blowing blown to pieces, they are being evicerated and obliterated as we speak, and the americans all along just want to give the sp'. for the israelis, first of all they attacked gaza, now they're attacking lebanon, what you're seeing in lebanon is exactly the start of their campion and gaza, the ureal bombings,

the artillery shells, the grown to ground uh or surface to surface uh misses, they're boming the whole of uh lebanon from bayroute to the south to to the east, this is collateral murder. against the entire population, there are 1 million lebanese civilians on the move as we speak, we have two million palestinians living in tents, we have uh tens of thousands of palestinians in the west bank, arrested, tortured, beaten, starved, the infrastructures being destroyed, so with handsight, it looks like the plan has been all along to destroy gaza. and then when they have coral the people like ship in a pan, which is what they appear to have done, they can take troops out from gaza and now open a second front against lebanon, and a

former uh general in the uh irgc, i believe, on x, on twitter has said that after gaza they go to lebanon, what will stop them going to syria, iraq and iran? one by one by one by one, because if they have the time and the space, they have the weaponry from america to just obliterate anything they want from the skies without necessarily putting boots on the ground and exposing israeli soldiers to the type of danger that they should be exposed to, if they want to murder people and murder civilians, they should be held accountable on the battlefield and in the courts and in the heag uh, but and just making the point that it looks like if the lebanese are forced to stand alone, the resistance then what will stop basically? the

americans who are using israel as their attack dog, what will stop them from going to attack the other members of the axis of jihad in uh west asia uh there's there was a there was a poem many many many years ago i don't whether or not it was associated with nazism and the second world war, but it's by nature i believe, i'm just going to paraphuse it, they came for the socialists i didn't do any. thing, i wasn't a socialist, they came for the jews, didn't do anything, i wasn't a jew, and when they came for me, there was no one to stop them, so as this where we're going that all the countries will be attacked one after the other to create a greater israel and to destroy or try to destroy the resistance in the region, that's that's my fear uh of what the israelis and the americans and the british and the french and

the germans. are doing now uh with their attack on lebanon. that's right, mr. hug. mr. huws, if you can stay with us, i've got a lot of questions, lot will mention so lot of questions. uh, back to you, miss uh, hatum. miss hatum, before we let you go, uh, at the start of uh, what uh, mr. hug said, uh, was one of the questions, uh, will hizbullah regroup, that's one, and at the end he said, uh, they're trying to uh, break the resistance, so will hezbullah? group, will they break the resistance in the region, the resistance access, you live in lebanon, uh, being a lebanese, you have better understanding and you can give us better answer, and also he said he turned uh, they turned gaza into a car park, uh, can they do the same with lebanon? i'll start with the last part first, the terrain in lebanon is much different than in gaza, gaza is only 365

km2. and it's linear, it's flat, it's horizontal. when it comes to lebanon, we do have mountains, we have hill tops, we have the ups and downs and we have the capability of having any resistance group hiding in place and being able to take harm against the israeli occupation forces, whether they come in or not, they cannot level lebanon with their warplanes, because at the same time you have to remember shooting at the enemy does not mean that the enemy will wait to be hit and then they will retaliate, the retaliation will happen at the same time, so the... the moment that the israelies are launching war against lebanon, there will be war that's targeting not only goshdan which is the beating heart of the israeli entity but also other settlements, we we saw two days ago that hizballah sent weapons, sorry sent missiles that actually reached male adumim that's in east eastern side of jerusalem, that's one of the illegal israeli settlements over there, so they will not shy away from hitting their targets accurately at the time when the...
