as december began, everyone knew that israel was thirstier for blood than ever! on

december 4th, it launched a major ground assault on southern gaz. on december 12th, joe biden criticized israel's bombing methods, but as usual, he did not break his of habit and continue to send bombs, allowing israel to improve its record of atrocities. december 22nd, the deaththoll in gaza surpassed 20,000, but this did not awaken the western leaders from their islam. on december 26th, it was the turn of central gaza. before the end of the last month of the year, it witnessed a massive attack. no place in gaza of was safe anymore.

hello, welcome, um, in case you're not aware, in the past hour or so, maybe even longer, there has been an attack in the gaza strip by the regime forces of israel in which 18 palestinians have been killed and a large number have been injured, uh, the target. the attack was mosk that was sheltering uh the displaced people uh this occurred in derralbala in central gaza. other civilian casualties have also occurred on the hands of the regime forces uh on the day before october 7th operation flood uh so the regime forces aside from uh targeting lebanon and murdering lebanese there, they're still continuing with the genocide in the gaza strip. jamal khanj is author in political commentator who joins us from uh san diego uh to discuss this uh a little bit further uh welcome to the program in terms of what we're

seeing here, even though there was maybe somewhat of a law, if you want to call it of that, the genocide continues in the gaza strip, um, put that into context for us in the uh with the fact that you have the one-year anniversary of october 7th coming up in just uh one day? i mean, i, i wouldn't say they had a law, but i would say they had a reorganization possibly on trying to find or identify places to to kill civilians in gaza. sadly, the these so-called safe shelters have become what you might call death trap, israel. uses basically where people gather and then they shell those those sights and this is really to observe one year since the flood, the alaxa flood, the alaxa flood did not happen out of vacuum as the western media would want us to believe the you know the a

flood started after more than 18 years of siege on gaza, basically i have defined it before ' my writing actually, it was the revolt of the prisoners against the jailer. mean, nobody have even given attention to gaza before october 7, as if things were normal, not not to say that it was only gaza, i mean up to that point also, from the beginning of 2023 to october, more than 500 palestinians were murder in the west bank, and supposedly... "you know, there isn't hamas there, there isn't an organizational, i would say organizational structure for a military group, at least in the west bank, but more than 500 palestinians were already killed. the problem is with with the west, and of course it is really designed by

israel, and it seems like it is always adopted by the west, that they define, they decide when to define things start as an example," "it wasn't even in in the 18 years before gaza, but it was the 76 years of occupation of palestine and the expulsion of palestinians from their homes in 1948. i mean, israel complains about forceful displacement of so-called 6000 colonial settlers in in the north of historical palestine, as this is something that they would not tolerate, well how would they..." expect the palestinians then tolerate the expulsion of 800 thousand people since 1948. it seems like they have a you know hypocrisy or double standards where if if you were an israeli jew you would be treated one way and

if you were non jew basically you would be treated in a different way and that's exactly what led to the alaxa flood and that's what would will... lead honestly to to other crisis within the middle east until israel and its you know humorous leadership realize that they cannot win by war, they cannot you know force palestinians to surrender by killing more of them, they have been doing it since 1948, they've been doing it in lebanon since the 1970s and they never succeeded and they will never they will... succeed at this time either indeed let's uh bring in uh's a palestinian scientist and author uh over from bethlehem welcome um i mean you have you have this situation that's continuing this genocide in the gaza strip we can talk about that of course given the fact that you're

looking at day before operation flood that occurred on october 7th but i think uh maybe my question to you um right from the getco is the role that the us is playing here in particular um the us president joe biden, i mean he's had no foreign policy success if you really want to think about it, i mean i can't remember the last us president that had no successess and in particular when it comes to the gaza strip uh no matter how many rounds of these uh so-called ceasefire talks that happened uh and then uh they said we have to uh bring it over the finish line of famous uh phrases from the us secretary of state uh anthony blincan that never happened why do you think it faltered that what were the reasons for it? well, the way i see it, having lived in the us for more than a quarter century and came back to parisan a while ago, i see the us basically as finished as empire, the most important aspect of it's

being finished is the delusion that it has the democracy, that we have a choice of presidents in the us, really what we have. is the deep state that runs affairs for imperial power and there are companies that are making money, the last president to warn about this was in. hower who said the military industrial complex is running the country and those people get rich whether there's democrats or republicans in office. in this case it is not just matter of getting rich by normal political procedures, but by committing genocide. so what we see in the us is as he is now known as genocide joe for joe biden ' he had committed the genocide, he is not just supporting genocide, he is

committing genocide, it's his weapons, his money, well not his of, of course taxpayer money, but it's a us that is supporting this under this quizling government that is run out of tel aviv, not out of washington dc, in fact you see people like blincan who came, i think in the past... year seven or eight times to pay omage to his state, which is the state of israel, is not really interested in being a us citizen, serving us interest, he is serving zionist interist, and he himself said on one of his trips to tel aviv, that i'm coming to you as fellow jew, so to speak, and that's his terminology, i don't think... he represents jews or judaism, but he claims that zionism represents jews and judaism, so

you know, my my view of the us is the masks have all fallen, and whether it's trump or biden, who gets elected in one month, they are equally beholden to the signist lobby, so is that one of the reasons that we are looking at this support by? us uh jamal khan in the form and manner that we have in terms of uh the us elections coming up uh that they need to not uh sway from uh that line at this point because given everything that we have seen there has been uh literally no real pushback from the us except maybe a very few occasions when it came to maybe pondering the type of military support they uh wanted to give to this regime which at this point has continued under debated um and my question then becomes if um the us elections take place and you have new president um do you

think that uh this position by the us would change of course the landscape has also changed because now lebanon's in the picture uh in full force? you know i i don't think it is necessarily connected to the to the election to the american election because as you know and you've talked about it in the introduction this has been going on for year now, and throughout the whole year, if if you look back at at the role that blincon, anthony blincan played in this role, basically he was facilitator for the war, mean every month, i remember since november of last year, every month he would come up with something that we are getting very close to fire, we are trying to help relieve the the the starvation. in gaza and we are bringing food in gaza, i mean he has been basically trying to control the anger or

possibly try to assuage his client states in the middle east, basically that as if he if they are trying to do something. i strongly believe that blincan and of course biden in this case are israeli firsters, israeli firsters meaning the... interest of israel is first and then the american interest is second, and and actually i don't think they even see a conflict between the two, i think they might think the two are are one and and and the same, however when it comes to this election, as i written recently about the october surprise, i believe and i still believe that what is happening in lebanon today and what will be happening, i believe in the next week or... so is part of netanyahu's october surprise whereby he will

push, he is first, let me just explain something, he is, he wants trump to be back in the white house, not that lincoln and biden are not submissive to him, but he would have a transactional relationship with trump, and he knows he will be able to get something back from trump when he gives them something. in the chair, well let let me just jump in here and ask you then uh, what do you think the fact that you had trump just about a week or 10 days ago say that uh in a matter of a week uh he could uh seal up deal with uh iran, not something that netanyahu wants to... here, i'm guessing, doesn't that put things in a different light, but but that's typical of trump, i mean he he said he would solve the problem in ukraine within 24 hours and even back in 2016 he thought he will he's gna be able to save the i mean resolve the middle east problem shortly and as you remember he came up with the with the steel

the century a proposal to solve the palestinian problem, the guy is full of it, to be honest with you, donald trump, i, i think he is salesman, and he basically tried to sell an idea, not necessarily work to to try to exercise and achieve something by hard work, and and that's part of it, i mean he is the same one who broke the the the the the nuclear agreement with with iran, now he's coming back to say, i could do it within within within a month or within a week, i, i, you know, if you will... you would believe trump, uh, honestly, i, i, anybody, sorry, anybody who would believe trump, i would say i have an island to sell them in in the ocean. well, let me uh find out from you what you think in terms of uh, again, i'm talking in the context of operation also flood being that it's now year practically into it. um,

there has been no preventative measure to stop the israel regime from uh the genocide happening in the gaza strip. um, let alone what's happening in lebanon now, it's uh now in the next stage, um, and the only real uh hit that the israel regime has taken has been from um the uh operation to promise by the islamic republic, both one and two, um, and uh, no, nothing else really that we see making israel think twice about uh some of the military uh, i guess, um, operations that they are executing, uh, what, that can be done in order to stop this regime from continuing uh of course the ceasefire agreements, but they haven't uh materialized. well, the biggest aspect of stopping israel is of course truth telling, and the second one is resistance. truth telling is very important, why do i say that? because

basically the whole empire of lies that the west has con instructed to protect and shield this rogue regime basically that's engaged in violations of human rights a daily basis, this this empire of lies is first and foremost directed towards the western public opinion and western public opinion unfortunately in the era of the internet and not reading books and more detail than else, he is relying on small snippets of information that's fed to them on on western social media, hollywood pop culture etc. that makes them hate arabs and muslims, make them hate anything that that designers wanted them

to hate, so i think you know if look in the mirror, as arabs, palestinians, muslims in general also, we have not done a good job of of really propelling our message across to the western audience, it's beginning to, it's beginning to change because it's very hard to shield the genocide basically from the eyes the world, but it is not sufficient yet, so you ask me what would it take? it would take, yes continued resistance, i agree with that, but also i think we need much much better public relations campaigns in the west to really reach out audiences that are most of the time are just totally misinformed, and one informed become very supportive palistan

as we saw in the millions who are in the streets, we just need to increase them to... hundreds of millions and that would be good to change eventually with the revolutionary thinking, western governments that are subservient to the zionist lobby. all right, well jamj, the other aspect of this whole um onslot by the regime is uh the fact that lebanons into the picture, in a very big way, they are killing lebanese there, 2,0 plus, but the way i need to do a revision on the number of uh palestinians that were killed in the gaza strip based on the attack that uh the beijing forces carried out it's uh i mentioned 18 i think the figure is up to 21 at this point if i'm not. mistaking, this is the attack a moss that was sheltering the displaced people. nevertheless, um, this operation cannot continue uh without intel being shared uh, and the cooperation of the

us, um, much more than uh what the regime forces were doing in the gaza strip. uh, but uh, lebanon is not the gaza strip. is there any way uh, that uh the regime forces um have in their minds that they're going to win? uh for lack of better word, when they couldn't uh finish off their goals in the gaza strip, i mean how could they think that they can beat for example the hezbollah fighters, um, you can't just bomb your way into winning a war, there's got to be the ground operation, which they're suffering losses from there also, yeah, uh, you know, i mean, the strategy of israeli war is is is is winning by killing civilians. "in fact, i do believe the that the killing of civilians is is part the larger strategy of israel, israeli wars and and you know, i don't want to change the

subject, but actually after the iranian retaliation against the very limited, i still call it limited target, limited military targets, within historical palestine, the if you remember the chief of staff spoke." and he said those missiles were intended to kill thousands of civilians, but they failed. however, that is basically what he is doing, he is preemptively preparing the public, and here when i talk about the public, i'm not talking about the israeli public, but i am talking about the international public, that if they would respond to the iranian retaliation, it seems like they are going to target civilians in iran, that way he would have prepared the the public that they are responding to inl you know in like raid or

attack and that's exactly the same thing in gaza was the same thing in gaza and that's exactly the same thing in lebanon. i mean if you look at the start of the war in lebanon i would i would mark it with the explosion of the 3000 pesers. i mean those 3000 pesers who knows who had those pays. 'who knows those who had those paties where they going to be, whether they gna be driving a car or shopping in in in a market, that's when it started, so they had no regard whatsoever to the the civilians, they are not going to win the war - by by making the other side you know give up basically and surrender, but to them by killing the other side, maybe that'. to them that is a winning award, eliminating the other side, mean the way they are targeting south bayrut, the way they are targeting the

villages in in in in south lebanon, they want to clear it out of the lebanese, exactly as they had done in north gaza at the beginning the war, because to them if you move the population which are the population of the cradle of resistance, basically if you move them a way you will leave the resistance alone and you would be able to deal with the resistance, but guess what, in lebanon, what is happening today, actually they also, it had proved them wrong, it had proved them wrong, because even though the villages on the border were empted, but they are unable to make any advance in those villages, because the fighters are waiting for them on equal basis, almost equal basis, i would say you know with the air force, "they can kill as many civilians as they want, but but when it comes to ground force, they will have the other side who is going is gonna be able to stand up to them and fight them, as happening

today in in south lebanon, as it happened also in gaza before. all right, last question then to you, quickly if you can, um, our guess are talks about israel as if they can uh, just um, militarily be superior in many ways they are maybe via air uh in terms of uh the uh different types of uh i guess aircrafts and what have you uh but uh they are going to be met with a stiff resistance when it comes to the zomic republic which has shown only uh a fraction of what it is capable of doing um do you think that we're looking at uh a war outbreak based on the threats that this regime has made. which one has said will retaliate in full force? well, it's a delicate balance obviously, for decision makers in iran, what? will do and

how they respond to the coming israeli attack and i'm sure israel in coordination with its partner and benefactor the united states will attack some targets in iran. the question is how iran will react and and the calibrations in washington and tel aviv is we want to attack iran but we don't want iran to attack us which is a stupid. kind of calculation, you cannot expect to hit people and for them not to hit you back, and this is threatening, as i said earlier, to lead us into a world war. i'm sure decision makers in all these countries are calculating their resources and their weapons and their allies, whether it's russia or china or in the case of israel, nato and the us, and how much i can... rely

on them and things like that, i just hope that some rational minds triumph and so far i must say that there is more rational minds, much much more rational minds on the axis of resistance than there is in washington and tel aviv. thank you very much for that. palestinian scientist and author from bethlehem, we do appreciate your comments and also jamal kanj, author and political commentator from. san diego, thank you so much to you both for your input. we're the news out power block here on press tv, um, practically there. uh, so let's continue with some news here. the lebanese resistance moved hesbollah continues his retaliatory operations against israely regime causing casualties among the zionist regime's forces. now, the latest retaliations, the movement fired rocket barrages of the settlement of carmial, the occupied city of safad, and the

eightya or the ata. military industries company in the lower galilee. hez also targeted gatherings of israeli soldiers both in the settlement of katzren and at the jal alder side. israel media reported that 38 soldiers were injured in battles with hisbollah along the lebanese border over the past 24 hours. meanwile the regime has issued new evacuation orders for most of the southern suburbs of beyrut, area in the capital that has witnessed relentless israely strikes. the israel regime continues with the ser strikes across lebanon claiming the lives of more civilians. the regime has launched more than 20 fresh air strikes on the southern parts of the capital bayrut, including the dahia suverb. the lebanese media has described the attacks as very violent. this comes as the regime uses powerful bunkerbuster bombs to target residential areas in his attacks. according to lebanon's national.
