5:35 am
to the violence. luzzarini said the gaza's trip has been transformed into an unrecognizable sea of rubble. after 12 months of relentless air strikes. and for warfare, he added that gazans have been going through forced displacement, disease, hunger, and death for the past year. he also highlighted the suffering of the children in gaza and the traumatic lifelong effects of war on them. lazzarini expressed concern over the current situation of schools in the strip saying that the children are sifting through the rubble instead of being in classrooms. now to give you more insight on that story, we are now joined by mike harris, he is the editor of uh veterans today uh, and he's also joining us from phoenix arizona. mr. harris, welcome to
5:36 am
the program, i hope you're well, my first question for you is about the uh, you know, philippe lazzarini has called the situation in gaza, sheer barbarism, with the severe human. crisis unfolding there, how do you see this catastrophe as a direct result of the ongoing blockade and military aggression? well, thank you for inviting me, and yes, mr. lazarini is absolutely correct, this is absolutely a barbaric act. i can't say, no one knows what really happened on october 7th year ago, but it seems like the israelis enabled that to happen, so they would have it. excuse to go in and uh ethnically cleanse and genocide the palestinians out of gaza, so the suffering that that's going on, i mean uh, any act of terrorism is always a tragedy, but um, to go out and kill you, 40, 50,00
5:37 am
people, uh, in particularly children, they they're killing two and three and four year-old little kids that are not a threat to anyone, and they never will be unless... you terrorize them the way the israelis are doing now, these kids are going to be uh damaged forever and they're going to remember who harmed them, and so what they're doing is feeding um this hatred uh going forward into future generations, the israelis need to back off uh right away, this has to stop because they say it's in self-defense, killing uh 40,00 people is not self-defense, killing children is not self-defense, it's murder playing simple and the israelis are genociding the palestinians right before our eyes. absolutely right. now let's talk about the humanitarian situation what uh lozerini was talking about. the humanitarian situation is in gaza is also rapidly deteriorating and
5:38 am
calls for a ceasefire uh seem to grow louder. in your view, should the focus of these calls also include the lifting of the blockade and ending the conditions. that have caused this suffering, well, let's look a little deeper here, because the israelis want to eliminate the palestinian people, and so the israelis are using the blockade, they're withholding humanitarian aid, the the holding water, uh, food, supplies, everything that people need to be alive, the the israelis are are withholding from the palestinian people, hoping they die sooner, hoping that they don't have to waste. bullet uh to to kill them, they want them to starve, they want them to die of dehydration, they want them to die of illness, malnutrition, anything that will kill a palestinian is what the israel's purpose is by withholding this aid and and and you know prolonging this, um, mr.
5:39 am
lazarini has a right, i i think he's a little understated and i think he's being a little generous to the israelis and not challenging their motive enough, because if you want to genocide people, they they... the uh ashkanazi have used this technique before in the hodor in in ukraine when they starve 12 million people to death. that's what they're doing in gaza now, the they're withholding the uh all the elements that human human beings need to stay alive, food, water, shelter, medicine. israelis are not allowing any of it in, and so the blockade needs to stop, and the israelis need to be called out on their genocide again and again and again. and finally, the world is seeing the israelis. to the monsters that they truly are, i don't even think they're human beings, because you human beings have kindness, they have compassion, they they have, they care about their fellow man and they don't want to see people suffer, well the israeli seem to enjoy watching people suffer, they seem to enjoy inflicting that suffering upon people,
5:40 am
it's it's really a very strange type of human being that that would want this, like i said, i don't think the israelies are actually humans, thank you so much, that was mike harris. editor of veterans today joining us from phoenix arizona. the us has applied israel with around $18 billion dollars in military aid since the genocide in gaza began. on october the 7th last year, that's according to a report by the american brown university's cost of war project. the report says the expenditure includes $4 billion dollars towards replenishing israel's iron dome and david's sling missile defense systems as well as cash for guns and jet fuel. it is states that additional $5 billion dollars in funding was supplied to us military operations in west asia during that time frame. this figure. includes the cost associated with the us military's attacks on yemen. washington has also provided israel
5:41 am
with diplomatic support, preventing the un from obliging the regime to end the genocide. political commentator commentator paul lerudy says, most countries of the world are silent regarding the israeli aggression against god. and lebanon, because they are afraid of the us consequent reaction against them, the rest the world has been timed, they're afraid of what the united states will will will do to them, maybe to hurt their trade, i don't know, but they they are reducing. traid with with israel, for example, and some are
5:42 am
refusing to interact with israel, and to send israelip to break diplomatic relations, and regardless of of the assassinations, the effectiveness of the resistance is not less than what it has has been in the past, it's more, whereas the effectiveness of of israel is... is militarily speaking useless, they strike civilians, the civilians are not fighting, that's the definition of a civilion.

for liberation is on, one year on, one year strong, one year of terrorism, but one year of resistance, and actually 100 years of it, we palestinians have lived through the worst of circumstances, but we're still here and we're still resisting because at the end of the day terrorism can't win um and evil... win and uh we are the majority, like if you look around in britain, us as a community, a british palestinian community, it comes from all backgrounds, all races, all faiths, all political spectrums, this is something that united everyone, as night falls, they walk past the houses of parliament and the prime minister's office, solemn reminder to those who have the power to put an end to it all, but have chosen not to, it's just horrific that in this one day age of social media where... have access to all the information that our own government, labor government is supporting the genocide, the murder of thousands of people. my understanding is that
