everyone to press tv's live rolling coverage on uh latest israely atrocities against lebanon, more than 100 people have been killed uh by israeli air strikes a monday, another 100 plus on sunday. that's according to the lebanese health ministry said more than 1,00 lebanese have now been killed over the past week and 6,00 wounded um and also over million lebanese that's a fifth of the population have been uh uh internally displaced in lebanon. many have even uh fled the country, at least 45 people were killed in lebanons and delb area of the southern suburb of the capital bayrut, raising the death hole in israely attacks in the past 24 hours to 1236, that's according to lebanese

authorities, death tool includes three members of the popular front for the liberation of palestine, three commanders that were uh in the heart of beirot, not in the southern suburbs but in the heart. the city, the regime is now ordered also three areas in the southern suburb of lebanon to completely evacuate as the regime is preparing intense bombing. campaign of those three areas in particular uh moments ago we showed uh the lebanese uh midnight skyline and uh there was huge plumo smoke a uh on the the lady area of of beirot there was a huge explosion we have yet to get a confirmed reports what that structure was and what the casualties or material damage may seem like it is uh right now um about 1:45 a beirot time am that is joining us is christopher hadally, researcher and political analyst uh

joining us at vershark, vermont for this rolling uh coverage, hello christopher, pleasure to have you join us, your initial thoughts on the uh many opportunities for a gaza secefire to put an end to hostilities, and that would have stopped cross border uh skirmishes between the uh lebanese resistance movement, hezbolah and the israeli entity there. along the southern lebanese border, it would have stopped the enemy uh uh retaliatory attacks against the uh occupied ports of haifa and uma rush-rush, it would have stopped iraqi resistance from launching missiles and drones against uh israely targets and we would see uh at least to some degree a restoration of calm in the region, israel would have got its captives back, it would have uh probably had it settlers the 60,00 plus settlers in northern occupied territories go back to their dwellings where they... squatted throughout the years um, but needless to say we are here where we're at now uh looking at escalation against the

wishes of uh israel's closest allies supposedly uh the un uh lot of world leaders you saw them walk out on benjamin nettahu at the un, no one's would any longer if they did at all buying a self-defense uh uh uh so-called algorithm for what he's been doing to the region for the last year now your initial thoughts of course uh you now we have been together speaking about this situation, these escalations, this violence, this genocide for almost year now, and of course uh it not only shows no sign of letting uh up, but of course we're only seeing more escalations, and you know our our prayers, our condolences, our solidarity have been with the palestinians in gaza, in the west bank and occupied east jerusalem for all of this... all of this time and now we of course are turning our attention to lebanon where we've seen all of the murders, we've seen uh

martur hasan nasaralah now the leader secretary general of of of hizbullah, we've seen all of these people, we've seen the commanders now of pflp and other groups being targeted and the lebanese people being terrorized, as you mentioned 20% of the population now internally displaced, some of those being descendants of the initial... akba of 1948 who had fled to lebanon for safety at the time, what we are seeing now and just in the past few hours uh is uh what the israelis are now calling a limited uh military incursion, limited military operation that they're saying into the south of of lebanon, but what we are truly seeing uh in my estimation is designist plan to take over territory uh from lebanon south of the litani river. which some far right uh members the israeli cabinet believe to be uh their

promise land, and so of course we are seeing this escalation, we're seeing uh a zionist regime uh unbridled without any borders and boundaries and uh opportunities to stop it, it has become rogue state and a terroristic state unlike any other, and so not only is it inflicting an ongoing genocide on the palestinian people, it now is sewing... chaos and destruction in lebanon, it continues to so it in syria, and we saw of course the bombings in yemen, so i my estimation is that we are going to regional war because that is what the zionist regime wants, that's always been its plan, is for regional escalation to continue to create a permanent buffer around the totality of its territory, and of course to take more territory, ultimately settler colonialism's logic is more territory and it wants to expend it. now of course the lebanese people are suffering under immense bombardments, we even saw a report in

almayadin from some dear comrads and friends of mine who are saying that there's possibility of fourth generation nuclear weapons being used on lebanese territory and people are doing testing of soil now to see if depleted uranium is being used and things like that, we are witnessing something absolutely unthinkable and of course in terms of seasfire hamas has been... clear as has that a cease fire is possible so long as the zionist forces are leave the territory in gaza, humanitarian is allowed in and there can be an exchange of prisoners. of course the zionis didn't want that to happen and at every point of ceasefire negotiations they killed ceastfire negotiators including ismal haniah who they assassinated in tehran and now they assassinated who was simply saying we will commit to a cease fire but you first

have to agree to a ceasfire in gaza with hamas the zionis didn't want to do that and so of course they escalated the situation even more. "the the real tragedy in all of this is where is the international community? we should, it shows the weakness of the united nations and the inability to stop this ongoing escalation, and it shows the west complicity in the genocide, and now the west complicity in the war on lebanon. i mean, macron can say as much as he wants or trudo can say, oh, we want peace and we don't want violence in lebanon, but they are doing nothing to stop it, and so president joe biden in the united states is also doing nothing to stop it." they could stop it to today if they wanted to, cutting off aid, cutting off support, cutting off military hardware uh to the zionist, but they won't do that, and so this is the west war with the zionist being their trojan horse in the region, and i only see escalations coming, and you're not alone uh, christopher, now all

the resistance, commanders and leaders to your point, christopher, that have been martered and targeted as of... i mean uh, resistance basically you very well know, it is a product, a reactionary product of israel's occupation, it's a partide, it's ethnic cleansing over the decades. how does israel with its, sophisticated weaponry and arsenal and military capacity and also intelligence power, eradicate a reaction to what it itself is, it just, you get it, it's an ideology, it really doesn't make sense, does it all the just?

him to court, he's above the law, he's above reproach, and he can continue to say that they are under threats, that there is an existential threat to the zionist state's uh future and stability, and thereby launch wars everywhere, and they could increase, they could launch wars in in in dozens of countries if they wanted to, and nobody seems to have the strength to stop them, and of course this double speak now is crumbling when they used to say that they were, they were attacking... uh hamas or they were attacking hezbulah for their self-defense, this is not self-defense anymore, this is absolutely offensive military operations with the goal of uh destroying in a sovereign countries now in lebanon, lebanon is sovereign country, it's not some quote unquote terrorist organization, this is

sovereign country that they are now attacking and bombarding, and they are doing this with the intent of... creating a buffer zone, this is unthinkable in the 21st century to be happening with the west complicity and support uh to create buffer zone, to take territory from another sovereign country and to have the full complicity of the us, eu, nato, i mean, this is unbelievable, but of course it's happening right before our eyes, and so i think that we really have to see the situation now for what it is that netanyahu and the zionist government is the most militarist. the most fascistic and the most aggressive in its domestic uh situation, that it now is imposing a state of imperialism in the region, it wants to now infringe on the sovereign rights and territorial integrity of its neighbors to carve out more territory for itself, that's the real danger here, and of course the fact that the international community cannot stop it uh really says that

they have card blanch now, they're going to continue, the only people standing with the resistance, and we know them very well, are all of the of the main groups of the axis of resistance, and iran, which has been at the forefront of defending the rights of the palestinians and defending the rights of the lebanese people and the syrian people, but of course, where is everybody else, and it remains to be seen, what's going to happen, what's going to, what's going to, what's going to need to be done to stop the zionis on this war drive, but at this point the war drive is escalating and continuing, and netanyahu now is above international law, he he he cannot be, he cannot be touched, and that and that shows the weakness of the international system at this point, and the need for new international system, which i hope will come into being within a... lifetime, but beyond the uh, christopher, and i'm sure you can attest to this, beyond the axis of resistance, not just the lebanise, yemines, iranians, syrians, but uh,

palestinians, but we saw uh, everyday people all throughout the region, all across the world cry when marter sad hasan astrela was assassinated by the regime, you know, the kind of outporing that we saw. over his loss and the fact that there are record numbers of people right now trying to get to lebanon thinking that uh uh they can join up hezbolah and take the fight to the zinis regime and the they want they want to make a difference in that fold and in that regard it's just it's amazing in one note but in the second note it seems like everything that israel does to try to basically to its uh uh summary and its um objective uh wipe out resistance. all of its actions, all of its onslot, all its campaign of genocide in gaza, it's really turning the world against it, and it's really emboldening resistance, and i don't understand how that helps the the regime in

its ultimate goal. of course it doesn't. listen, if there's one lesson that the united states should have learned from its quote unquote war on terror, it's that military force alone will not stamp out the quote unquote terror, the resistance, the the liberation struggle. right, it only strengthens them, that was the lesson of vietnam, that was the lesson all throughout history, is that people who are occupied, people who are being attacked, people who are being brutalized, they will resist, and if you kill them, others will come in their stead, that's the lesson of karbala ultimately, that's what we believe, imagine less than 100 people killed, and now you have hundreds of millions who look to that and say, we are on the same path, we're on the same road, right? right, so of course when you see what's happening today, of course you're going to have millions more joints because children are now without their parents without their grandparents, siblings

have been killed, aunts, uncles, i mean, with all of this death and destruction, do they really believe that they're going to stamp out quote unquote terrorism? no, of course not, you're only emboldening the resistance for generations to come, and that resistance will continue to grow, and and let's be frank, the zionist regime is the most isolate. it's ever been in its history at this point and you saw that with the speech of netanyahu at the un, but also you simply have to look at the economy of design state to understand it is in terminal crisis now, people are not doing business with the zionist regime, people are not going tourism, people are not investing, because this is a regime that is belligerant that is a war path that is committing genocide, how could you possibly do business, maybe only the psychopans and the evil doers will do business, but the most people around the world will not even look uh at designist regime with any semblance of love or

affection, they only see the most brutal evil in our world at this time, and so of course it's isolated, the problem is it's isolated but with nuclear weapons, the problem is it's isolated but with the support of the west, so of course slowly that has to erode, and as you said millions have been on the streets now. mourning the the the mardddom of nasralla and all of these people for almost 12 months, for almost a year, protesting against the genocide in gaza, but they need to do more, there has to be escalation, people have to really pressure their political leaders to take firm stances against the zionist regime and really strangle it like they did with a partide in south africa from the outside, only then can we hope to stop this, but ultimately the palestinians, the lebanese, the resistance at large, "the syrians, the yemenis, they are already victorious, right? iran is already victorious because they have exposed the zionis for their true nature, that zionism is settler colonial project, that it is

imperialist, and that ultimately it's even more fundamentalist than the so-called fundamentalist that they like to hurl accusations at in the region, they are the ones who are hungry for land and on and a thirst to kill anyone who's on that land who's not them, and so i think that at least this uh, this period of time..." has shown the truth for many people and many people have awakened to the reality that had been concealed for from them for so long, but christopher, you know who needs to uh, it's imperative, who we the world needs to see awakened to your point, are the decision makers in washington uh dc? you mentioned the uh uh benjamin netanyahu's un speech, the fact the entire assembly hall vacated before he got his first... word into the microphone, my question do, does that have an impact? i mean, when us officials sit back, when you're the guy who arms the guy that um, kills women and children with impunity, with the arms you

give the... guy and when every other guy in the assembly hall vacates because no one is buying the justifications of that guy, does that impact you and your decision making going forward? it certainly has to impact their thoughts about long-term uh power and stability, because maybe the older generation in the united states is very pro israel for a variety of reasons uh that have been noted you know all of this year and even before that. but the younger generation is overwhelmingly on on the side of justice, on the side of the palestinians, so it's only matter of time before the situation changes, but you know how difficult it is in the united states to enact change, you know how many people have been killed by the government for their beliefs, have been prison by the government for their beliefs, but i think that there has to be seismic change at some point and it will come, whether it's as far as we want, i'm not sure,

but i can tell you that there's a... huge discrepancy with netanyahu giving a speech at the un and everybody clearing out and netanyahu getting non-stop standing ovations in the congress in washington dc just some months ago and the only person protesting in the hall was the palestinian congresswoman rashida talib so when you just oppose those two things you have to recognize that the world and especially the american people are not on the side of the zionist regime are not on the side of supporting this bloodshit. but those in power have consolidated their control and are beholden to apec and so many other lobbies and interests like the military industrial complex that they can do nothing else but to continue to support so there has to be increasing pressure from the populist from the general the popular will the people themselves to really push the government to really change its policies on foreign policy and directly related to the bilateral

relationship with the zionist regime. other than that, i don't foresee a big change happening, but i can tell you that palestine is on the ballot this november and everyone should know, and everybody should be aware to look at the third party candidates, especially jill stein, cornel west, claudia dela cruz and others who have campaigned for palestinian rights, to see their vote increases, to see how many people turn away from the democrats uh, and then i think we'll get a good idea of the power of the electorate to really try. influence the political sort of architecture in the united states. right and in your neck the woods christopher, what has the lebanon onslight and coverage been like over the last seven days? of course, you know, in the united states, the coverage continually emphasizes that hezbullah is a quoton quote terrorist organization that uh...
