another major demand of the university students were the issue of divestments, most called on universities to divest from companies that support israel and the genocidal war. those are the list of some of the universities there that you see in terms of the status of them, it's called the iv league. now in terms of the endowments, this is what we're looking at, they're flush with money, take a look at these endowment figures is quite incredible like harvard 50% .9 billion for the year 2023, quite incredible if you ask me, but what stood out was the deep knowledge that the protesters had when it came to palestinian resistance from uh al-qassam brigades, as they uh talked about in some of the placards, you make us proud, take another regime force out, and hamas, we support your rockets, or hamas, we love you even, to we say justice, you say how, burn

televiv to the ground. that's right, these are coming from inside the us, from university students there. these weren't protests in favor of a peace or cease fire. there were calls that presented in a sense an existential threat to israel. so persistent were the protesters in the us, it alarmed us law makers and they had to react and they had to make sure that there were some laws plast past such as the anti-semitism law, no criticism of. and of course the phrase from the river to the sea, which is something that really angered us politicians. universities were even threatened that federal research grants and government support would be withheld because of the protest. well, the world has been engulfed in these protests, operation al flood, and this year becoming the one-year anniversary, today being october 7th, there are worldwide protests that are happening in every almost every corner of the world. these are anti israeli and

pro-palestinian protests. the divide between the pro israeli governments and the population at large shows the hypocrisy of involved in how government officials give lip service when it comes to palestine yet support the israeli regime, which brings us to the letter that iran's leader wrote to of address the us students at universities. well, this is part of it where it said dear university students, this message is an expression of your sympathy and solidarity with you. at the bottom there you see the logo, the letter for you, i imam khamaini's letter to american university, imam khamaini's that is letter to american university students, stand on the right side of history was the core topic uh that uh you had iran's leader address to the university students.

of welcome back, today is october 7th, operation of flood is uh the day that we are marking uh with uh our program. in terms of what has happened, we'd like to get an idea from our reporters who have worked hard on the ground, some some uh have bombs raining down on them in some of the reports that they have given.

and uh we have spoken to our reporter from the gaza strip and in this case let's go over to the occupied west bank and occupied ramala to get an idea from our reporter there as to what uh uh may transpire today and what uh the occupied west bank is facing which unfortunately has been an onslot of heavy violence by the regime forces especially when it comes to the refugee camps.ahmed is a correspondent there uh who reports for us and joins us now ahmed welcomes taking a look at today it's a very significant day um and you have been active uh with the reports that you've given us, covering the different aspects there in the occupied west bank. what uh are we looking at today? have you had a chance to actually see any incoming news as to what uh may transpire today in terms of the at least the palestinians and basically overall what the sentiment is after watching this genocidal onslot uh to transpire over the past year? yes, well today is not different very much from the last year as the iof has... started raiding the entire west

bank since the hours of the night, we are talking about in extensive operations over here on each palestinian city as the iof announced that, they will not be allowing any form of demonstrations or any form of actions, resistance actions against the iof in the memory of al-aqsa flood, in the memory of october the 7th. since the hours of the morning, the west bank has been witnessing a let's call it a mini war uh war field over here, actually not very far from us over there in calandia, refugee camp, there's a raid. going to colandia, we are talking about two uh two injuries until this moment, two injuries with live ammunition, more than 35 arrestments have been made in calandia refugee camp, closing all of the entrances and exits to calandia and to uh khufur aqab,

and this is not actually very far from what's happening to the other cities over here in the west bank, if we are talking about ramala, we are talking about as we have just said to qalandya refugee camp, we are... talking about burqa village who has been attacked systematically for the last 12 months and intensively for the last uh for the last two weeks. yesterday the settlers attacked the village of burqa burning down olive fields and cutting olive trees attacking the palestinian residents in in burqa village. if we are talking about the northern cities, we are talking about a red that is taking taking place right now in tul karem and karem refugee camp in jinine, especially in the village of anin, where it has been raided for now for three days in a row, where the iof is taking occupying houses, actually palestinian houses, making them interrogations centers to the palestinian youth over there in the village

of anin. we are talking about specifically three houses that has been turned into military points and interrogation points in hanin if we are also... talking about the cities of the north, we are talking about a red taking place in tuba closing total siege the the checkpoints in the northern cities and between the between the cities, the palestinian cities in the north and in the middle and in the south. as eye witnesses and as sources have told us that the west bank today has turned into small islands uh totally isolated from from each other. we are talking about one mart. in al khalil who has been killed an elderly palestinian 66 years old in dura uh dura city uh to the south of al khalil who has been brutally beaten today's morning while raiding his house only to come to his wounds two hours two hours

ago. thank you so much ahmed we do appreciate it obviously things don't look that great in the west bank. thank you for that uh booker when you listen to our correspondent there talking about the west bank you heard some of the not only the restrictions that have been. amplified uh since october 7th uh the israel regime is going um in some respects all out attacking um the uh palestinian citizens whether it's in the refugee camps or what have you enforcing uh to a larger degree the partite practices from the freedom of movement to what have you and of course uh we are also looking at the deaths to increase along with the detainments which have numbered around 12,00 based on the latest estimates and this is a ticking time bomb that's slower than what is the gaza strip is going through, but i think it's reaching a point where we're looking at maybe another gaza strip in the making that perhaps it's going to show itself more and more as the days uh go by as long as this genocidal onslot continues. um go ahead boocer yeah

thank you now ' first of all, um, the attack, particularly in ramala, it's not just unfortunate, but it also confirms our correct analysis that the military offensive in gaza by the occupying forces, the zionist forces, has not been with an objective of defeating hamas, as they have sold it out to the... media, in fact there has been several other tacks out of gaza and even in other places like like west like west bank like now today in ramala that are not under the control of

hamas, so it cannot be that the zionist entity can justify any offensive outside gaza, on the pretext that they want to free the... hostages or they will like to defeat hamas, this is what they piled up to start this military campaign, but now we can confirm... at least with with severity of evidence that the zionist entities interest is an expansionist interest is to expand the interest of settler colonialism and it's a campaign of land and not defeat the so-called okay uh unfortunately we don't have your voice uh with us booker, i do apologize for that, hold to your thoughts uh, let me come to you scott bennett. scott bennet, uh, let's

talk about the west bank a little bit, and i'd like to get your impression as to what the us uh treasury secretary janet diallen said months ago when it came to the israeli regime with holding the um revenues from the taxes which the palestinian authority needs in order to disburse it to its staff, um, but it came out with a stark warning to pm netanyahu saying, don't do that, because if you have the occupied west bank fall apart, then that in a... sense, although she didn't say it in these words, would become an existential threat to the regime itself if the west bank was to explode like the gaza strip has a process that's in the making but nothing compared to the gaza strip so the us is concerned that the west bank doesn't fall apart, it has even issued, i think sanctions against settlers, which is uh quite strange, why is it that the the us is concerned in that regards, but not so much when it when it comes to the gaza strip, i think the us is simply trying to save face with these uh political distractions, janet yellen, another jewish zionist, anthony blincan, another

jewish zionist duel israeli citizen, how many others in the united states biden administration are israeli zionist dual citizens? uh, their loyalties are not on the united states, not for the constitution of the united states, but for israel and so many others in congress are doing the bidding of israel, either because they've been video taped in compromising positions by musad. or bribed and extorted like lindsay graham has put in these positions and no doubt many, many others like mike lee, uh, there's there's absolute corruption in the united states government, so when they do these uh throwing of red hairing uh in a direction and and cry peace, peace when there is no peace and uh cry for settlements and cease fires, it's all alive, it's all part of psychological warfare campaign, it's delay, delay tactics, it's uh obfuscation, it's a shell game, and i think uh, everyone in has

for the past year has woken up to that. it's tragic because this should never have been allowed to grow to the level of inferno that it is. turkey should have immediately said, seas and desist or will cut off all the oil going to israel, yemen and syria and lebanon, and all of the other parties should have said, cease and desist or we will do to your cities. and civilians what you're doing to the palestinians and israel uh, which is a cowardly government and a cowardly people, would have stopped because they cannot afford to have exodus of people leaving israel, which is what would have happened and will happen uh, if they are struck back, and i think you're going to see again in the college campuses, rising fountain of voices that are more belligerantly and passionately opposed to israel than... ever before, and the absolute corruption in the united states government, passing laws that violate the

constitution, just shows you how despicably hypocritical they are, and the police forces too, these brute sadistic, gerillian thugs who are often trained by the israeli idf forces on abusing students and faculty for expressing their freedom of speech and their right to petition the government for the redress of grievances, this shows you the united states not a republic, it's not a constitutional democracy, it's nothing of what it was 20 years ago or even longer. it is now transformed into a police state that is under the control of jewish, zionist, talmudic money and uh uh influencers and intelligence operatives and duel israeli citizens and uh only violent overthrow of uh this government by an independent uh consortium of republics. will restore balance. all right, very well. booker, we have you, and you were talking about, i think

the west bank, of course, if you like to add anything to what scott benned said there. go ahead. now particularly what i was going to comment on other two important aspect, which is the what we are calling the international solidarity, the palestinian people have continues to receive at the global level, and particularly here in nairobi and generally in the african cont'. that after the event of october 7th, remember the zionist entity have three most important controls that they continue to advance to make sure that they can intensify their settler colonialism project in the occupied territory of palestine, but one of the most important sectors that they would like to control and dominate of the palestinian people is the palestinian economy, even putting gaza under seat that gaza, they cannot build their own airport, they cannot in charge of their own

logistics, they cannot be able to control barely the economy and under a strict ap regime, this is but particularly to ensure that the palestinian people do not have any independence in terms of economy, but without economic independence we know that there cannot be any sovereinity, but this was actually shaken in a very massive way after the october 7th resistance event, the heroic october 7th event, the second part of it of course is the organized violence that the zionist entity continues to imput, but "even though they have retained that lethal violence against the palestinian people, but one aspect that they continue again to lose every day, is the the power the powerful court, which is the court of public opinion, the propaganda war, the war of the information, because after the october 7th, the his the world can see the hypocrisy of

the united states empire, they can actually see the hypocresy of the zionist entity, and the the..." solidarity has been overwhelming in terms of advancing the right for the palestinian people to fight to you know for their own self-determination uh this is important but also it it it must also be remembered that the october 7th also confirms that the palestinian people their determination you know to rescue their their homeland their motherland their fatherland is a project that they are not willing to to give up just because the zionist entity is getting more resources to finance their genocide within the occupied territories. all right, thank you very much for that indeed, they are not going to give up as we have seen them uh making it through this horrible genocide that's taking place and today october 7th is a grim melson in itself, but at the same time maybe it uh also reflects on the will of uh the palestinians uh in the

gaza strip. uh, it's worth taking a look at different aspects as we mentioned in the beginning of the program of life in the gaza. strip as we're about to see another uh way that palestinians are dealing with uh what is happening to them? let's take a look. with the onset of the cold season of the year, the lack of a proper clothing in shoes is becoming increasingly evident, especially among the children who are often seen walking barefoot or wearing tattered close. the situation is teams from a prolonged blocket imposed by israel. authorities which has severely restricted the import of a clothing and foot wear into the region, markets that once buzzled with a variety of options are now failing, with shelves overen empty or rest with only the most basic and least desirable items, there is no clothes and

there is no life, i am here in a huge calamity, everything is expensive, my son is newborn, when he gets wet, i can't change for him since he has nothing to wear. the suffering is huge for the twice winter. i need clothes for the kids. i cannot find any and i cannot afford their high prices. i've been here for 11 months in this unbearable suffering. in the absence of sufficient aid, families are resorting to creative solutions. some are reproposing all the clothes or trying to mend what little they have left. others are forced to prioritize. as a retailer, i tell you people prioritize spending on food rather than clothes. they don't have sources of income. we also suffer to import goods and clothes through the closed crossing. the prices are expensive.

usually in winter they need heavier clothes with more expensive prices which they cannot afford. for gaza's children and their parents, each day without a proper clothing is a reminder of their struggle. the grand reality on the ground reveals another internal conflict parents are going through and mid the accumulative challenges. ibrahim, press tv. well from there, let's go to the occupied romala and speak to sad who's a professor of the political science at bersitt university. welcome today is october. it's one year since the genocidal onslot against palestinians has been waged, but there's another, i don't know if we can call it a genocidalt as of yet, maybe you can tell us if we should when it comes to the occupy. west bank and i'd like to find out from you, um, the palestinians have been harassed, they have been suffocating under this uh parthide policies of the israeli regime, you can perhaps tell us how it used to be before, and

as it bad as bad as it was before, how much worse it has gotten since october 7th broke out on the impact that has had on the occupied west bank and the lives of palestinians there. good morning to you and to all your viewers uh, well, it's always since 1967 after the... situation of the west bank and gaza and east jerusalem, the israeli measures against the palestinian were always there, and i have to remind you that after 20 years of this occupation there was the first intifada and then it it came the peace process of oslo and seven years after oslo and the peace process there was the second intefada. it means that the atrocities by the israelis and the uh measures by the israeli against the palestinian never stopped and the same situation. is going on now, but what happened after the 7th of october, it became increasingly very violent and more and more of of these atrocities against the palestinians and especially now the plans, i

think from the perspective of the israeli government, this right wing israeli government has changed, now they are not talking about you know administrating the west bank and east jerusalem after sieging gaza, it's now about you know to transfer the... palestinian citizens from the west bank and to annax the west bank to israel, and that what was shown by netanyahu's statements and his press conferences, many occasions, when he showed the map of historical palestine without any indication to the palestinians or even to the west bank. what we are suffering from today, mainly that they gave this thing to the settlers who are doing... the same the same work of the israeli army without appearing as it is an official work of the israeli government to transfer the palestinians and to ethnically cleanse the west bank. we are talking after

the seventh of october we are talking about more than 25 palestinian communities were deprived from their areas and moved somewhere else and they were ethnically cleansed for the sake of the settlers to take over. so it's quite clear and obvious. now that the aim of the israel is withher in the israeli army and their forces or the settlers who are backed by the israeli army and armed by itmar being ver, they are the target is quite quite obvious, they are pushing the palestinians in the west bank to leave withher voluntarily and maybe later on even by force to get them get out of palestine towards jordan and and that's the only way open for them anyway ' in order to annax the rest of the west bank to israel as it was shown in netanyahu's plans. now the thing is also related why netanyahu

is obviously supporting trump in his campaign and he didn't even deny that or hiding it, because trump also in the campaign said clearly that israel is a small area and we we need to enlarge it. and if if trump is thinking in this way, which is exactly the... same thinking of netanyahu, where how israel is going to be enlarged in size, the area that the of israel to be enlarged, it means on the expenses of golan heightes, south lebanon, west bank, gaza strip as well as you know part of jordan valley from the other side, from the jordanian side even. all right, very well, um, thank you for that by the way, i'd like to actually pick up on something that our guest from san francisco said, scott bennett, where uh he mentioned. how uh there are many israelies that are leaving um the uh occupied palestinian territories, they are just done with it, they have had enough of the insecurity that has been caused and in this case in point uh this

particular cabinet uh extreme cabinet i should say that's uh in power there has uh brought about this genocidal war continuation of it uh making the people who have um i guess citizenship in another country mostly european countries um are are just packing up and leaving uh one of the factors behind that amongst many is what we're about to find out once we take a look at what this particular person says whose country has been very active since all international regulations and preventative measures have failed in stopping this genocidal war. let's take a listen. لقرار الحظر على العدو الاسرائيلي بلغ عددها الى 182 سفينه وهذا عدد مهم وكبير بالرغم من تحول مسار اكثر. all

right, that's sayid there, the leader of the movement, and i like to come to you, scott, when you take a look at yemen and what it has done, from the outside and western media coverage of what yemen, yemeni army in particular has done, they view it as a probably a terrorist entity that's creating instability and security in that part of the world, and the... at sea region uh threatening for example all the ships and vessels that are coming through, but all the reason behind that a is because they want to stop this genocidal war and that's why they have partaken in the targeting of these uh israel-bound vessels. what are your thoughts about the way that yemen has come out and really done its uh fair share in contributing to um not only solidarity with the palestinians but trying to make those really think twice uh at least if that's possible uh

to maybe come close to maybe thinking they shouldn't carry out this genocidal war for much longer? well, i think yemen was the first and has been the most dynamic opposition to the israeli genocide in this entire history, yemen's behavior, it's targeting, its blockades, its missile strikes has have been heroic, and remember this is a country that saudi arabia and the united states wage more upon, they couldn't de that yemen, it only strengthened them, and this strengthening of resolve and their moral clarity and their religious devotion to liberty and women and children and protecting the innocent has inspired them to rise up and face this devilish evil like other nation has, and they have been enormously uh effective and will continue to be so. i will

not be surprised if if every us vessel is sunk to the bottom of the sea if they're so foolish to to pursue some sort of action against iran or yemen or sending ships in to provide for israel, we are entering new phase the conflict and yemen has i think inspired the other islamic nations too to step up their performance, iran of course has now entered in after much patience and many attempts for a diplomatic. which have only been thwarted by the united states and laughed at by the israelis, well now iran has entered in, and iran of course has absolute domination over the missile space and is strategically superior and very capable of pulverizing israel uh into rubble if it needed be, but that's the difference, no islamic nation wants to wage a genocide

against israel, they want peace. and stability in the sessation of this uh war, they also want the two-state solution, they want justice, the israelis don't want justice, neither did the united states, they want hegemony, they want dominant us puppet regime, a colony, and of course the us is really the puppet of israel, but the us in its colonial hegemonic pursuits are not going to adjust course unless they lose all of their ships and uh c-17 planes are blown out the sky uh and that will happen if they wage war against iran uh because russia will never let iran fall, neither will china, they will never allow the disruption of the oil reserves coming out of iran, they will never allow the the the persian gulf to be shut down, so uh this is a conflict that israel and the united states cannot win because they're facing a more powerful alliance of

nations. not only russia, china and iran, but all of the african and asianic and middle eastern global south nations are are on the side solidly of not just the palestinians, but the overall concept of justice. remember, israel is a war criminal, it has been judged a war genocidal power that really is illegitimate and has no uh rights even be uh in this territory and a rest have been sworn out by the international court of justice, and i think this will replicate another courts, so this this madness that netanyahu is pursued, i think ultimately will only result in the implosion of the israeli government, the exodus of the israeli people out of israel, and if donald trump is so stupid to think that he can expand israel's project, perhaps get another gold coin made in his image.
