little boys are going stones at tanks and we'll never really know how many people are dead, they drop bombs on innocent girls while they sleep in their bed, israel is a terror state and terrorists that terrorize i'll testify my television televise i'm telling lies how many more resolutions have to be violated how many more children have to be annihilated this is not a war it is systematic genocide but whatever they try palestine will never die free pakist free in pakist. hello, i'm chris williamson and

you're watching palestine declassified. our twice weekly program exposes the israeli regime's global war against solidarity with the illegally occupied people of palestine. in today's show we'll be looking at the consequences for the zinist entity of its year long genocide which has turned the whole world's population against it. 12 months after the alaxa flood operation by palestinian resistance factions in looks increasingly like the end is nigh for the designist project, as latifer will explain in our first report. the year anniversary of an unprecedented military operation against the zionist entity, the al-aqsa flood. how a settler society addicted to killing eventually killed itself. where are we today? israel has launched a fierce genocide on the population of ghazza, killing over 40,00 people, mostly women and children. it has

continued to besege the landlocked people of ghazza, many of them refugees from within the of zionist entity. the lancet medical journal estimates that around 200,000 deaths in ghazza can be attributed to israel's genocidal campaign. this situation has led to an outporing of support for palestine across the world. never before has the palestinian flag being as ubiquitous as it has become today. in trying to white palestine. and off the map, israel has rendered the whole world a palestine. tens of millions of people have been mobilizing on the streets across the world's capitals in support of the palestinian people. in seeking to besege the people of ghazza, zionism has besieged itself and seems to be in terminal decline. the humanitarian interventions of yemen and lebanon have led to the bankrupting of the keys port of ilat and the displacement of...

100 thousand setttelers from the north of occupied palestine. the export of goods and services from israel fell by almost 20%, and almost 60,00 israeli businesses are expected to go bust in 2024 due to the war. the israeli gdp also lost 20%. the company intel decided to withdraw a 25 billion dollar investment away from designist entity. israel's power grid is... reliant on coal from colombia, which has now stopped. the other key suppliers are south africa and russia, and one of those states is prosecuting israel in the icj for the crime of genocide. we have also seen waves of israelis leaving the entity and seeking citizenship elsewhere. even zanist historians like uval, noah, harari are predicting the end of zionism. was that fateful? day last

october, the beginning of the end for the zinus project in palestine? johnny me in the studio as usual is our residence expert david miller who's widely regarded as the uk's preeminent scholarly critic of israel. david's a senior research fellow at the center for islam and global affairs at istanbul zayim university and is a co-director of the lobby and watch dog spinwatch. our guest contributor today is the investigative journalist patrick henningson who founded the independent news and analysis website 21st century wire. welcome to the show, david, the alaxa flood was an unprecedented operation by the palestinian resistance, wasn't it? it certainly was, i mean, people forget, they think is being hamas and of course hamas is the leading force in the resistance, but there are six or even seven armed groups uh were engaged in a flood, including the pflp, the popular front for liberation, the democratic front for liberation palestine, second biggest group of course is the palestinan islam of jihad, and there are other armed groups as well, and they they all collectively uh operated - now

that was an unprecedented thing, they broke out, they and they actually traveled very quite far into 40 israel as as it's called, before they were uh driven back by... by the uh the occupation forces. patrick, um, hamas has claimed that russia said they would teach the alaxa flood operation in the military schools. what do you make of that? well, i, i expect uh, what i'm about to say would probably deeply upset supporters of of israel and neoconservatives and the like, but it says a lot that uh, the world's preeminent military institution recognizes the impact, uh, the historical impact, the geopolitic. impact of this important event, and you know the israeli occupation forces uh were definitely caught unawares by this operation of flood on october 7th, how it was conducted, how effective the insergency was,

and i would add this as well, history will also record and even more importantly the reaction by israel after this, the unhinged over the top. almost you could say psychotic reaction by the israeli regime and its occupation forces, they have effectively sprung a trap of their own making, and which could very well turn out to be really epic falter that leads to the complete demise of the entire israeli colonial settler project uh that's been supported traditionally by the british and then taken over by the us and by other european countries to prop up this situation in the middle east, so it could be something that leads to its own demise, only time will tell. well, david, it was also claim that um hamas obtained licenses from russia to locally produce the klashnikovs that were used in the operation. well, the

the russian role in this is not well understood, i mean russians are clearly supportive for the palestinians, but they actually have done specific things to support the access of resistance, people don't know this, but the russians have... observation posts on the border uh in syria with the the they occupied goan heights which they designers took in 1967 which is which is actually syrian territory, the russians have observation towers all along that border, including new ones that they've set up in the last couple of years in the raids that the uh zieners have been doing on damascus and other parts of syria, russian planes have been patrolling the the mediterranean coast of syria to dissuade the occupation forces, so russia is heavily in... intested in this this conflict, but they have tried to keep out of direct direct involvement in in the actual conflict, but it's not clear how how how far that can be sustained in the the potential of incursion into lebanon and and even perhaps further incursions into syria, so we will see

what happens with that, but russia clearly is on the side of the palestinians, it just hasn't taken the the direct actions which some of some people have been hoping for. right, okay, well, but patrick, um, we've previously reported on. palestine declassified that it appeared that israel implemented the hannibal directive on october the 7th last year, what do you know about that? well, the forensic evidence is clear, um, the the hannibal directive was implemented on october 7th, and not just the hannibal directive, by the way, this has been admitted by top israeli military experts, former military commanders from different branches of of the... forces and this was a mass hannibal on october 7th, in other words, what the israeli occupation forces carried out is something that they've never even done before, and if you look at the specifically the forensic evidence of all the automobiles that were burned out and torched, clearly the

palestinian resistance fighters didn't have the type of weaponry to do that sort of fire bombing with hundreds of vehicles containing, many of them israeli civilians. some of them fleeing uh the scene at the nova music festival nearby the the border wall there and what it shows us is that clearly this is what israeli reports i'm talking about herets, i'm talking about the times of israel, there's been various admissions in especially in the hebrew press afterwards that apache helicopters uh basically did the damage there and what this does is it destroys the core narrative of october 7th from the israeli and american and ally. israeli side, which is that 1,200 people were slaughtered or civilians were slaughtered on october 7th by hamas and it's simply not true, the evidence doesn't actually reflect that, what we see is that there are a potentially hundreds of israeli civilians that were killed by the

israeli military. well david, the the operation included other factions, as you mentioned, haven't you, like the the pflp, and uh, um, they've uh uh haven't been prescribed by the uk government, so i mean is there a case in your opinion for the government to unproscribe hispalah. and and hamas: so the the there are four armed groups who have been prescribed who are involved in this who have been prescribed by the british government: hezballah, hamas, palestinan islamic jihad and the pflp general command, which is separate organization from the pflp, which is not prescribed, the dflp is not prescribed and various of the other organizations, they are the marters brigades who who are not not prescribed either, so the there's an inconsistency there, now so what what should happen of course is that they should be deprescribing? all of them because the prescription makes it very difficult for the british to play any kind of role in in

ending this conflict, even even role on behalf of the zionis, they can't play any proper role because they can't talk directly to hamas to palestinians had, and really they should be able to do that, there should be a question of of a of a of involving directly a peace process which will have to come uh once the - so defeated, yes indeed, well, well, patrick, i mean, how will this all end, do you think? that's not an easy question to answer, uh, how is this going to end? i think from an israeli point of view, they would like a swift and decisive victory, that's pretty clear, but they're not getting it, if you think about it, we're 12 months later, they haven't defeated hamas, in fact israel hasn't even eliminated uh, any of hamas's top military command. they've done as well as seeming to, they've done well to assassinate

other leaders around and other countries, either assassinations in iran, syria and lebanon, but they haven't touched anything in gaza in terms of the top command structure, and what does that tell you? that tells you they haven't defeated hamas, now they're in a protracted entrenched conflict there, with no clear decisive victory, taking huge loss. "they've done a lot of damage to gaza and the people of gaza, but they haven't achieved any their military objectives. the same could be true now with their potentially protracted conflict with hezballah, with lebanon, potentially with syria and and iran and yemen with ansar allah, so from from israel point of view, this is the worst possible outcome, it could be death by a thousand cuts, slow bleeding, slow sort of demise for israel. is regional hegemon, but it's never been a regional hegemon, it's always been propped up

by the united states and its allies, it can't defend itself, israel can't quote defend itself without the us providing all of the artillery, all of the reconnaissance, all of the assistance technically, and all of the bombs and all of the aircraft for that matter, and all the engineering and technical support, they can't do anything without the united states, so israel its own can't defend itself. what does that tell you? by definition, this is a colonial project. it always was, and now we can really see to what degree it's absolutely dependent on other foreign superpowers in order to prop up, what is essentially a protectorate uh for western imperialist interests at this point? well, our next report looks at the anist entities illegal operation in south lebanon that resulted in the assassination of hasan nazara. part of the... domino effect that was set into motion by the alaqs of flood was the events leading up to the assassination of

hisbollah secretary general hassan nasrolla on the 27th of september 2024. it is believed his decision to stand with gaza and refuse to relinquish his support is the reason for his killing. the assassination took the form of 85 tons of bunkerbuster bombs being used to level six residential buildings in the southern suburb of. rude al-dahia. the operation is thought to have caused the killing of hundreds of innocent civilians with many being vaporized on impact due to the power of the bombs used. the body of hasan nasrollah was found 40 meters underground in full form. the cause of death is believed to be shock from the power of the explosion. israel claims units 9900, 8200 and 504 were the sources of intelligence for the... legal operation unit 9900 is known for visual intelligence gathered by satellite and

it is believed information was obtained by following the activities of hisbullah figures in the area around the residential complex. unit 8200 is known for signal intelligence and the monitoring of communications. by constant surveillance of phone calls, the unit may have been able to discern the nestrola was expected at the location. unit 504, which israel claims to have drawn information from the operation, is responsible for human intelligence, thus implying that there was someone in the vicinity of the buildings passing inform. on the meeting to the israelis. assuming this assassination spells the end of hisbollah would be wrong-headed. when israel killed abbas musawi, the previous secretary general and the founding member of hisbollah in the early 90s. zianist newspapers exclaimed that hisbullah was over. there is a deep lesson in this refusal to die, as imam homani once

said, killing us will only increase our people's awareness. well david, just explain will you, hisbolla's role in the gaza war. so, as um, the palestinian resistance confirmed, they they hadn't told hezballah or iran or the uh resistance in iraq that they were going to do the operation, so it was, it was, it was a surprise to them to some extent, but with within a day of it happening, hezballah was engaged with the zianist entity uh, in trying to support what was uh the people in gaza? patrick, what connect israel expect, do you think now that it's launched its ground operation into south lebanon? i think history is going to look back potentially at israel's attempted invasion of south lebanon as one of its biggest uh missteps uh in all of the events we've seen over the last 12 months and maybe in its history. um, it really shows you that

there is absolutely some sort of a political timeline or... date for how the regime intel aviv feels that it has to conduct affairs to get results for perhaps domestic political reasons for the sustainability of the regime and it's going to make huge mistakes as a result this is this is a perfect example israel's military command structure they have. fascinated its leadership and some of its top leaders, but the military command structures still in place, all of its many thousands of missiles are still ready to be deployed, and if you think about what's happened recently with iran's missile retaliation against israel, this could be coupled with massive salvos coming from south

lebanon, also coming from yemen, with answer all drones and missiles. "tell us about the units involved in the bombing of those six residential buildings that that killed nasa? well, is really have said three separate units involved. now obviously first of all we have to say you take this with a massive massive pinch of salt, we don't believe what they say, but let's look at the at them, mean five or four is the is as we said in the film, human intelligence, now human intelligence is informer, actually it wouldn't have to be informers who are in the vicinity." might be informers were in other parts of the machinery of of or indeed the access of resistance as as as the designers have been tried to say oh there is informers everywhere we've got we've penetrated the organization i wouldn't take that seriously but they clearly do have some informers so but we don't know where they were uh in the the apparatus but also it's clearly the case that had plans for what to do in the event of

decapitation strike this would be seen as and so it's not it's not clear that the penetration. goes so far as as to have put action, in fact of course we can see from the the uh response of hezbollah in firing huge numbers of rockets across the border in the last few days that that that hasn't happened, they haven't been put out of action, so that's human intelligence, and the extent to which they have penetrated, i think we must be slightly skeptical about unit a 200 is of course the signals intelligence unit, and that is of course the the the unit within the... uh occupation forces, it's military intelligence, but it's a signals intelligence unit, so in in the uk for example, that's gchq, uh, and in in the us, that's the national security agency, but held within military intelligence uh, in israel, which is not in the other two countries, so that that's the their operation, and they they have this massive base in the gollan heights, they have another base near tel aviv, and

these are bases which are being attacked on a regular basis now by both the iraqy resistance and indeed. nice indeed w patrick, i mean is a war of attrition on the cards then? it's hard to predict what the regime uh in israel will do um if it feels it's backed up against the wall and this is an existential moment because let's face it, the the whole settler colonial project isn't looking very good at the moment in terms of guaranteeing the security of people emigrating from all around the world to to israel, it's not... great, so if they feel they might need to deploy weapon of mass destruction to send message to iran, but that might end up as another escalation and that might bring in other superp. we might have some kind of a perhaps a third world war, but either way, this is going to take a long time, so that war of attrition, i think is more likely scenario either way, because i

think this huge underestimation by the western press by western political actors and people in the pundanty class, that somehow all of the resistance in the middle east, opposing israeli occupation, whether it's occupation in palestine, whether it's occupation. in south lebanon, whether it's the occupation of syrian territory in the golen heights, that they're all just basically going to bow down and sort of give up and capitulate to intimidation by israel and the us, and that's simply not the case, we can see that now, so that means we're going probably going to have very long protracted uh conflict, it's going to be a managed conflict, certainly that's in the best interests of the united states, but it's really up to how israel was going to conduct its uh decision making uh in the near term as to how badly this whole crisis could spread?

well david, tell us about the the last two times that israel was defeated in south leben? it seems like they're engaged in a sort of forever war, because when they when they sort of you took the leader of of hisb out previously as we heard in the film, they were claiming this was the end of of hisb, it clearly wasn't, they've done the... strategy now uh um is it forever war the into what's going on? well they want to expand into a great or israel don't they? they invaded in 1982, they were kicked out in 2000 and kicked out again in 2006. so mean what happ what happened in 2006? mean you can you can read this in some in some of the uh the us military accounts of what happened in 2006 and and how how it happened, what eventually happened was that uh that hezballah defeated the occupation forces in 2006. with simply 3,000 men, now they had more men, they had they had reserves, but they didn't call them up, the the israelis called up their own reserves, but hisb decided against calling up their reserves and they defeated the the

whole of the occupation forces with 300 men in south lebanon. well patrick, what do you think the role of the united states is in all this war? certainly the israelis would like to uh believe that they... are the masters of their own destiny, and i think in terms of the internal propagandizing of israeli society and of the sort of the world jewish diaspora, many of them zionists that look at israel as their kind of last resort homeland, i think they'd like to look at it like the the masters of their own destiny, but in many ways the sustainability of their existence in the region really. on the support by the united states in their european partners. well, i'm afraid that's all we got time for today, so thanks for watching and thank you to our guest patrick hanning and of course our resident expert professor david miller.

it was a shot that was heard around the world, the 82£. bombs which destroyed the mountain that was syd hassanlah has changed many things, the clock stopped, the tears fell, the morning began, but "the guns kept
