of this is about people who got silenced but kept fighting, supervision and controlling of freedom of speech only comes up when you're criticizing israel, 45% journalists behind israeli bars at the moment. they've warned students that if they remain here, they will be arrested. this is about the voices of palestine.

welcome to spotlight, leader of the islamic revolution said ali khameney has called for muslim unity in the face of israel's crimes in gaza and lebanon, in his words. any blow to the regime is a service to all of humanity. these remarks come as israel is continuing with its full-scale aggression attacking gaza and lebanon from ground and air. the regime also continues spilling blood in the occupied west bank, syria and yemen, and has shown zero will to entertain avenues that could need to an end of hostilities and a restoration to sum in the region. meanwile, resistance groups are continuing their retaliatory attacks on the israeli. those

topics and more will be discussed tonight's edition of spotlight. here are our guests. author and political activist eveler joining us from montreal. and we also have independent international affairs analyst gilbert doctor who's joining us from brussels. gentlemen, welcome to the program. let's start off with mr. angler. in montreal, the leader of iran's islamic revolution, ayatollah khamenei, he made address today uh urging muslim unity against israel, how pivotal can that unity be when uh unity among many regional countries is the missing component in confronting and shutting down the israeli crimes in the region? well, it could be, it could be uh, i don't know that it will be, it certainly has... been, mean,

if you look at even the bordering countries, they've basically been complicit with israel's crimes, or number of them have, the different regimes in the region, but it obviously could be, mean it's a large part of the world's population and and there there obviously is affinity, but if you look at how the us and israel have been able to uh guide the region, weaken countries, destroy efforts at development, subordinate different governments, it's it's difficult, so but but it certainly it's certainly could be, and i think that one of the things that could change the dynamics is if some of these governments that have been complicit in the normalization process have have diplomatic relations, trader. with israel if they if

they fall, whether that's in jordan, whether that's in egypt, staying with address. today uh the leader hailed the retaliatory missile strikes by the iranian armed forces and he said that tuesday's response to israel was legitimate and lawful. now under article 51 the un charter, tehront exercised self-defense. that's a notion stressed by many iranian officials. do you agree that this was a proper and justified response? yes, unequivocally, this that's exactly what it was. it was also very moderate, it... was sending a clear message about iran's capabilities, about its hypersonic missiles, their accuracy, it was not intended to do vast damage, and it was definitely to avoid causing civilian or even military casualties,

it was to to to to show an unmistakable way that israel's air defenses are incapable of countering the offensive weapons that iran. possesses, in that sense there was a success, but for the general public, for the readers the new york times, this is a too subtle message. in in the pentagon, i think there may be few acute minds who understand it, and that they were the ones who were the audience of this attack by iran. right, and mr. angler, share with us your opinion on iran's operation true promise 2 that was carried out carried out against the israeli regime on. october the first, it's being considered as a failure for the israelis, which can no longer boast their military superiority, and that goes for the us as well, which could not fully protect uh israel, uh, have the iranian operations, true promise one and true promise to, have they changed some of the military

equations in west asia in your opinion, well they certainly changed the couple weeks of uh one-sided israeli. successes in terms of obviously killing nasarala, the the communications devices, blowing that up, clearly uh, a whole bunch of israeli successes in in in lebanon, um, and so i think that there's no doubt about it, that uh, this show that israel is exposed, israel can can cause lot of damage uh, but if it gets into a full-on war with with iran, "iran can cause a whole lot of damage to to uh to israel. um, the leader of the canadian uh opposition party, who is gna probably be the next prime minister of canada, pierre poliev, he said, in response to this, these iranian uh missiles, he said, all of these attacks

were targeted at civilians, none of them were pinpointing military targets. so, as per my colleague, the this is a canadian politician with the absolute..." lie, the lie upon lie, it's an absolute complete reversal of reality, where they targeted military targets very clearly, did everything they could to avoid civilian casualties, and were very successful uh in in those two uh objectives, but canadian public is so ignorant of what's going on that this politician can lie so flagrantly and there's even you know there's no kind of response to it, there's no political... pushback, there's no media pushback. um, so so this is the and it's the same dynamic goes on in the u.s. of course, um, there's a small number of people who are following this uh properly, who are seeking out uh alternative information, but the dominant media is just totally one-sided, and if you were to listen to the dominant media,

it's as if there was, they israel shot all everything down, uh, it was a big failure, and then simultaneously they were trying to target civilians, though no civilians were... um, but it's um, it speaks to it, and then and if you look at canadian and us politicians, like i just listen to joe biden, he's basically giving the us, giving israel a green light to to major attack against iran, and canadian politicians are doing the saying, this is, hopefully the more sober-minded military strategists in the israeli government realize that that's a big mistake, and it's just going to lead to all kinds of damage in israel, but but... but uh clearly there's a lot of support among um the political elite in these uh g7 countries for um even more uh escalation by by israel in the region right gilbert doctor let's uh um turn our attention to the attacks that are taking place in lebanon. israel is bombing

hospitals, clinics, medical personnel just like it did in gaza, many are seeing the aggression against the lebanese as basically a continuation of the gaza genocide, the world watched israel flatten and demolish gaza and murder over 41,000 palestinians, the international community basically did nothing, will it do something this time around? "let's leave the international community out of it, even coming back to your first question regarding the the muslim nations and what they can do to to alleviate the pain that that their brethen are experiencing in palestine, in lebanon and so forth. the the the to understand the situation, we have to take a step back from what we've been talking about in the last few minutes and ask who is driving this, the assumption..." i assume from the question and from the answer of my of my fellow panelist is that israel is driving this and the united

states is supporting it. i deg to differ with that. united states is driving it. israel is the proxy of the united states and and the united states is practicing in the middle east through israel exactly the same proxy war that is that is carrying on with through by means of ukraine against russia. that has to be clear either to understand how the... countries around will react, and what are the limits on iran's possibility of meeting the challenge? iran is facing the united states, not just israel, and i think your leadership knows that perfectly well, the general public does not aware does not know that, because i think mr. netanyahu is is drawing mr. biden around by the nose, that isn't the case. all right, and what about the issue of lebanon, could you address that too? that was a part of our question is a further provocation. directed against iran. israel by itself at this point cannot take on iran, it has to

bring the united states in. israel is waiting for for iran to be so provoked that it will take a dramatic action, which will you be used by the united states as casas belly to enter the war. the the way out of this will be the conclusion on october 24th of the general cooperation between russia and and iran, because then it will be perfectly clear that united states is facing not iran, but russia. eve angler, let's focus more on the us's position regarding, not just the gaza genocide, but israel's regional crimes, how can washington at the same time, claim that it's pushing for a cease fire and say that it doesn't want a broader regional escalation, but at the same. time it's providing israel with the tools with the arsenal and the all-out support to continue killing innocent

women and children, and it's not just in gaza anymore, well they can say it buse they lie uh that's uh they they uh of course have provided all kinds of material support, intelligence support, diplomatic support for all the crimes obviously in gaza uh which keep going on and the you know the killing still is... remarkable level of killing uh and there's just new couple different reports out showing that there sort of a minimum of 100 thousand people that have been killed in gaza is the is the correct number contrary to the numbers we hear um and almost everything's destroyed the buildings of un uh satellite two more than two-thirds of buildings 68% of the land is condemmed um so the the crimes are really you know remarkable and then as we're seeing the you know it's

picking up with with uh with uh in lebanon and they can claim that uh you know they just blow up roads between lebanon and syria and you know because there was a hezballah truck that used the road i mean it at that if you use that basis of justifying uh you destroy infrastructure i mean basically you could destroy all the infrastructure in lebanon. um and that's that's certainly where where israel's going and and so when you talk about us complicity, i mean it's endless, i mean you the fact that it was just think on thursday there was a new shipment of agreed to of 8.7 billion dollars, i think it was on uh about a week ago of of of new weapons right after israel's you know all the uh walkie talkey and other killings in in in lebanon um so so the us is totally... complicit and we're seeing that you know just the rhetoric uh that i just listened to with biden, he's not even putting any kind of

breaks, i mean even at the rhetorical level right, like beyond the arms and all the other forms of support, but he he's putting very minimal kind of breaks uh rhetorically on um on what he's you know going to support in terms of israel uh uh hitting hitting iran uh and he's almost there's almost no you know threshold he's not saying anything about threshold of of blowing stuff up in in in lebanon, it's all, this is defend, they have the right to defend themselves and and on and on, so um, it is remarkable to see it, it's kind of... surprising to me at some level because i do think and that was the first question asked of biden was basically is israel intervening in the u.s. election or is netanyahu doing what he's doing right now because he prefers donald trump and i and i i am of the agreement i agree that the us is totally complicit in all of this but i do think that from the uh kamala harris's perspective huge war in the region is not

going to be good for her electoral chances so and i do think that netanyahu is using this time frame in part um uh to basically help donald trump win and um so so you know that's a variable in this whole mix but clearly the us has uh has enabled has supplied has in some cases encouraged i mean they there were political reported they encouraging israel to attack uh uh lebanon um so us complicity goes to every different level in this uh in these crimes. mr. doctor, yes, do you agree with what? no, i don't agree, the very, the very exhibits that he produced that that united states encouraged the attack, but let's take it to the logical conclusion, the united states is not complicit in this, the united states is directing all of this, and

therefore it is very understandable. that iran is moving very cautiously, iran is not going to take on the united states by itself, that's clear as can be, however, the russians have already put their cards on the table, some of them, and those cards are favoring the implementation of defense alliance with iran, and that is where things are headed, and it is only when the situation in the middle east comes a little bit closer to the situation in in ukraine, russia, that there will... an end result that we can look upon with some favor. russia is winning that war, iran will win its war. and they come back to your first question about the muslim world. all states, muslim or not muslim, tend to like winners and tend to abandon losers. if iran wins clearly its contest with israel and

behind israel, the united states, the whole muslim world will unite with. shiite, sunni will make no difference. okay, eve angler, israel has a history of assassinations, but uh, it's been evident that eliminating individuals, even high-ranking figures, has not defeated the resistance, and the core concept of the resistance, it will not just go away, it's not worked in the past, and it hasn't worked now, give us your perspective on that, i mean, of course, so long as the injust. this of zionism are so flagrant there's always going to be resistance, there's no doubt about that, and you kill, you kill so many people in gaza, and you're going to have more people that join uh amass forces and and similar dynamic in lebanon and elsewhere in the region. it was just reported that the iraqi resistance was able to kill two israeli soldiers in the golan, i guess

probably few hours ago, which is apparently withdrown with... drone a couple drones um and and obviously the the israelis they have such superiority in the sky and they've been able to and they also have clearly very good infiltration of hezbillah's communications and they've been able to you know succeed on that front and those fronts very clearly but they've had you know the first few days of trying to trying to kind of prod hezbulah ability on the ground has a whole bunch of israeli soldiers have been killed and whole bunch of tanks have been blown up and and and things aren't looking very good uh at least in the initial phase on that on that front and i think that the you know the hezbillah fighters know um know the train they know how to fight and um i think that the israelis are don't have the same kind of um uh you know will uh to fight um and then of course with what we've seen with the iran's uh missiles

um there's you know that on that front that level also israel is uh is vulnerable, um, but i, but i think that, i don't think israel is going to be defeated militarily at all, i think that the best case scenario from from the resistance forces is is some degree of of of of a bit of a stalemate with of course israel unleashing mayham in obviously already in gaza and to a certain extent in lebanon, um, but uh, but but yeah, the the the issue is and then this is a long-term issue with with you, a whole region. of over billion muslims, hundreds and hundred millions of arabs in the region, is that so long as israel chooses expansionism over security? going to collapse, it has to collapse, it can't go on forever, this level of of of land theft and apartide and racial superiority, it can't go on forever uh, and so you know,

eventually what the form of of it being defeated, and and i think there's one of the things that israel is just so drunk on on jewish supremacism and and expansionism that the people who are lot of people who are running israel are not actually kind of... shrewed thinkers in in in the more messianic than they are sort of shrewed thinkers in terms of being more sensible and and and so i think they they may very well have bitten off more than they can um then they can eat your doctor your thoughts on the uh the persistence of the resistance even when we see high ranking leaders and officials being assassin. by the israelis which is it's common practice by the israelis and we've seen that in the past, but yet even with the

situation right now in lebanon following the assassination resistance forces still putting up stiff resistance against israel. i think you have to look at the audience for these assassinations, and you have to consider that perhaps the israel is not very different from the american leadership, in which pragmatism has disappeared several decades ago, in which government policy is led by ideal ideologs, and they are in the game of public relations, the israeli public was ecstatic over the assassination of the the top leadership, ecstatic. mr. netanyahu's government received. additional members in in the war cabinet, which is sure mr. netanyahu of continued rule for at least another year, so

this was not, the assassinations are not intended or they wished for, but they will not have a pragmatic consequence of weakening, of weakening hamas and i think some people in israel understand that, however, that's not what they're interested in, they're... in keeping their own power within israel, and for that purpose the assassinations were fantastically successful. mr. angler, would you like to add anything to that? yeah, i mean, i agree to a large extent, i mean i do think the the assassinations and the specifically the com disrupting the communications of hezbulah, i think that does have damaging impact on on the organization, i i wouldn't go completely. that that far, but but no, the infrastructure is basically intact, it's a much more robust organization than just even assassinating dozens of of of top leaders, um and and so

and and the people who are you know uh on the ground they know what to do when israeli troops come in they they they've fought and they know they you their objective their objective is to drive the israeli troops out out of lebanese territory so so they don't need some command. from on high to uh uh to do that, but uh, but yeah, i think that there is a important part of this is politicking for netanyahu, um, and uh, and and they believe themselves too, right? i mean, i think that the the us officials and some of the israeli officials saying that this is the opportunity to, you know, change the map of the middle east and all this kind of stuff, they do believe their own uh, kind of rhetoric and they believe that that they you know can just just i don't wipe out. wipe out hamas, wipe out iran, uh, and it's just going to be some uh, some new middle east of of everyone's going to love the us, and everyone's going to love israel, and uh, and

everyone's going to be happy ever after, that's, i think they believe that at some uh, there's a lot of people who understand that's that's uh ludicrous, but there's a lot of the people who have lot of power who actually believe those kind of um uh crazy ideas, and uh, mr. doctor, let's uh, um, end it on this note about the double. standard and hypocrisy uh that we're seeing from the united nation uh from the united states and uh from international institutions even like uh the united nations as well when they uh the security council fails uh to condemn the ongoing israeli crimes uh and aggressions uh if an arab or muslim majority country had done what israel has done over the past few weeks not even the whole year of the gaza genocide just the past few weeks how do you think west would have responded to it, your question assumes a just world, sadly we don't live in a just world, the hypocrisy is the

small currency of diplomacy everywhere. "that is not the objectionable issue here, the objectionable issue is the genocide, is the mass murder that's going on, and that is uh, that is shocking beyond description. i don't worry about hypocrisy, i worry about genocide. all right, gentlemen, we're going to have to leave it there, author and political activist eve angler, joining us from montreal, independent international affairs analyst, gilbert doctor, joining us from brussels, thank you gentlemen for contributing to..." tonight's show a special thanks to our viewers for staying with us on tonight spotlight. it's good night for now and see you next time. پدرم یه جنگ اعراب و اسرائیل رو همیشه تو خونه روایت میکرد. گذاشتم که اسرائیل رو نابود کنه
