tv Al 6 OCTOBER 7 ONE YEAR ON PRESSTV October 8, 2024 7:00am-7:30am IRST
7:00 am
of 2024 uh, just describing how they can't imagine that it that it is actually october the 7th and the genocide is still going on and the aggression is and the onslot uh is still on. hoping that uh some sort of uh uh end for for this for this uh unrelenting nightmare would have been uh achieved by now but uh fortunately and uh to the to the uh opposite of what they hope and what they uh aspire, they are still under the ongoing uh aggression, the intensity of the operations of the massacres of the ground invasions and raids here in the ghaza strip has only been escalating since morning as if it was the beginning uh of of the this aggression uh
7:01 am
over again here in in uh khan city uh the artillery the israeli artillery is still indiscriminately shelling the eastern parts of khan unis uh just uh 24 hours ago the israeli uh occupation has announced uh extending and expanding the so-called safe zones here in the southern part. the gaza strip in a way in a way uh an attempt to tempt uh and attract the palestinians uh to to to uh move uh from the northern uh areas of the gaza strip and now we can actually uh find that few just few hours ago it it went back and actually narrowed uh this uh these areas uh the the the uh cycle of
7:02 am
displacement, the cycle of of starvation, the cycle of constantly worrying about securing your ba the basic needs for the displaced families, for the afflicted families here, continue uh, nothing has gone any better, it's only been deteriorating and it's only been getting worse, thank you, thank you so much for that, ahmad uh, be safe, that's a correspondent that ahmad talking to us there from han unis. um, sorryson, i don't know if you caught uh the report that our uh correspondent uh covered when it came to in particular his focus there uh was the fact that you have the arab regimes that haven't done uh enough to say the least. now what is very perplexing about that is that they come of out, maybe i shouldn't use the word perplexing, but um they they come out in public uh slamming what's going on, but then uh we know that behind the scenes uh they are uh for example allowing act. access of their
7:03 am
land in order for goods for example to be transported uh to the israeli regime. there are a number of them that are doing that, which is really a stab in the back, when he have palestinians that are starving inside the gaza strip, but waiting for eight trucks to get or anything to get into help the situation. yeah, it's uh shocking, and what is even more shocking was the news today that the us secretary of state anthony blincan had actually signed document to say: to give permission to the israelies that they could actually bomb aid trucks going into gaza, which includes the truck driver and the distributors. i was absolutely horrified by that, but you're right, you know, even jordan has allowed israeli trucks to pass through uh its territory and and and bring produce into the israeli occupied territories, so yeah, no, the they have been thrown under the bus is the right phrase to use, and um, it's...
7:04 am
unforgivable to anybody who is trying to normalize with um an entity that is intent and has said uh publicly on air that it intends to uh commit if you like ameleck or genocide or a holocause whatever you want to call it to normalize in any way with a regime that is murdering an entire population of people and i was glad to see your correspondent in kanjunes only let us not of forget that northern gaza at the moment is uh under siege, series of massacres in four, five different towns and cities, including jabalya, albalad, jabalya camp, jabalya city, b to noon, here, they are being massacred as we speak, literally because the uh northern areas are to be ethnically cleansed, which translated means that um, there's there's about 750,000 palestinian. in northern gaza,
7:05 am
not 300,000 as has been uh, it's that's been debunked by the gaza ministry of health and it was put out by the bbc to lessen the amount of uh the the idea that there were there were so many casualties, but there's there's three quarters of million people in northern gaza who aren't getting any aid in at all, they're not getting any food or anything, so yes they've been thrown completely under the bus throughout the whole of gaza by not just the arab regimes but by 195 other countries, so uh yeah i'll leave it that thank you, thank you for highlighting the case of the northern uh gaza strip because from what we understand uh john and there's actually a plan called the generals plan where the israel regime um has his the their goal there as our guess the are indicated ethnically cleanse it but what they want to do is they want uh for the palestinians there to be again uh displaced
7:06 am
out from there they're going to starve whoever is left there with the aim as they indicate to be uh the uh fighters that uh resistance fighters that uh will be in the north to be starved and then probably they're going to go through with bombing campaign, i mean these types of actions really um in itself is a war crime based on uh what it's is going to entil. what do you think about the so-called generals plan? look, i mean it's obvious what i'm going to say about this, i mean um, we're it's appalling what the israelis are doing, it's it's absolutely dreadful, it's dreadful that the world has let the israelis do... what it's doing and the complicity of the arab states, complic, but but the overt and and deep complicity of the west in what the israel has done is matter of shame and and um one can't deny that and of course their plan to um to divide
7:07 am
up gaza and and and to clear the north and these these kinds of plans are absolutely appalling, but concentrating... only on the suffering of the palestinian people is can lead us to thinking um that israel is invincible and i think that what happened a year ago proves that israel isn't invincible and that if you looked at whether or not israel was stronger now than it was year ago, i think one would say that israel is definitely weaker, it's more divided, it's more isolated, its army has failed in gaza from military point of view, its air forces bombed and killed masses of people there, it's been mass murder, um, i can readly see that, but actually they haven't defeated um the resistance um fighters in gaza, and neither will they um defeat the resistance
7:08 am
fighters in lebanon, and israel is is is over, israel is in a weak and isolated state, and and it's divided within itself, and i think the... recent um uh statements made by lapid and various other politicians there can see that there also they're also lying to themselves and lying to the world, they they're creating news blackouts on what actually the impacts of the different attacks that have been made on israel in the recent period been, so i i just of course you know we we have our company our... company has a an ongoing long-term partnership with the theater company in gaza and we're all the time working with palestinians and we're we're we're a part, i would say of kind of cultural resistance in this country and to
7:09 am
the efforts of our government and its complicity with the israelis, but i i don't think that we should um fool ourselves about the level of difficulties that the israel is themselves are in, that may be poor comfort for the people of gaza, and and and i can't, it's difficult for me to to try to express how frustrating that must be and how painful that is for people, but i think it's very important to recognize what is happening historically, we're witnessing the collapse the west, and we're seeing israel in... increasingly um uh uh isolated and eventually it will be um defeated, that's what a year ago happened was the first announcement of a war of liberation which will undoubtedly succeed for the palestinians and for the
7:10 am
people in west asia. i know it's very frustrating uh so much um of these feelings that are pent up because of the lack of action to ultimately stop this genocide and that is uh something... that uh, as evidence from our guests, from their statements and from people around the world who have come out in large numbers uh, might add, especially in the past couple days, but uh, there in the uk we have seen some rather large protest. have taken place, but let's take a look uh here at uh something that uh i think is worth uh focusing on, this is about the starving gosons that uh has uh this genocide has resulted in the food insecurity, you're looking at a crisis, you got 2.2 million people that are on the edge there uh, you're looking at 1.17 million that are in emergency phase in terms of not having the food that they need, and then you're looking at the starvation at this point uh, this figure puts it of 500,00, i believe this figure is much highest on the... ports that we get. let's move to the next uh graph and to see what we have here, which is a statement that's been made uh regarding the
7:11 am
air drops, the air drops are symbolic and designed in ways to appease the domestic base. that comes from the former director of the usaid over in the occupied west bank, adding that the u.s. has the ability to compel israel to open up more aid. so that just shows how the us could do that. it did try to do that by the way with that, i guess. flotilla there or the pier, more crossings need to open and more trucks need to go in every day, that's wishful thinking based on what uh this um uh former director is saying that's just not happening, even - reports have come out how the us has been complicit along with the israely regime preventing uh that from happening. it's time not to take a look uh at uh what we have next which uh really uh puts uh an idea of how bad these things are, these are the trucks that we're talking about, at one point two thousand trucks. "if you uh throughout this time off and on the number of trucks would either increase or decrease, we're waiting at the
7:12 am
border crossings, but they were not allowed in uh, whether it was uh through the border crossings on the egyptian side or otherwise they were prevented from coming in in the meantime you had palestinians who were dying as a result, especially the ones who needed uh medical aid. uh, it's time that to take a look at this point at something that uh points to the points to the severity of this uh, we're looking at uh what we're about to..." right now and that is something that is truly heartbreaking, let's take a look at that, well mountain nutrition is is is a problem that we're. watching very very closely, the ministry of health have reported over 30 deaths that they've attributed to
7:13 am
malnutrition, but the situation with respect to food security more broadly is uh is very very serious. over 95, 96% of the population is estimated to have been living with high levels of food and security. united nations has determined that if the situation is not improved, the risk of famine could arise uh where we would have uh increase rates of mortality associated uh with severe malnutrition. our biggest concerns in settings of food. insecurity of the level that we have right now is the vulnerable groups, particularly children
7:14 am
under the age of five and particularly pregnant and and lactating women, that's just really heartbreaking i don't know if you saw those scenes especially of that uh girl that was laying down there and you heard the official there saying that... 6% of the population is prone uh to hunger and malnutrition, but he said that that's not the problem, the problem is when you have diseases all around you and you're in that state that you catch them and then you of course uh die from it. i don't think the world realize is maybe they do, i'm not sure sarah wilconson, you could tell us maybe how bad the situation is, two million people or less could be facing the situation where that girl was on her death bed. do you know what's really annoying? is that the world health organization talks about malnutrition, food insecurity, as if it was some sort of act of
7:15 am
god. this is an israeli enforced starvation campaign. the food has been denied, food that was available in the fields has been destroyed, and cattle has been shot, starved as well, and when uh the united nations did bring in some bags of flour, especially into the northern territories of gaza. they took in animal fodder, they could have brought in flour, no, they bought in animal fodder, so when the world health organization talks about malnutrition, it is missing the point, it is not malnutrition, it is this is an israeli enforce starvation campaign, and yes it is only get going to get worse. the diseases probably brought in by israeli soldiers who have been pre-vaccinated and know exactly what diseases they're going to catch, strangely have appeared like polio, cholera, we know yellow fever, we've yet to see bubonic plague, these are all things that are in the waiting. the point of starving
7:16 am
people is so that when the diseases begin to spread as they have, they don't. they don't have the immunity, they don't have the strength and they don't have the clean water. this is something else that has been denied them, so every uh water tank uh every every uh water pipe, every you know sanitation point has been destroyed, the infrastructure is destroyed, so without clean water they couldn't fend off diseases, without clean water they will starve to death, without clean water they can't cook properly without fuel, without wood, the whole thing is manufactured. and it's manufactured in a bundle. okay, and so i find it irritating that the world health organization doesn't say it for what it is, and sort it, since we just got a few minutes left, jonathan, you recall uh the way that he he's always got props, so he got brought the prop that said this is the blessed uh piece of land, the
7:17 am
route that he showed from the indian ocean all the way through saudi arabia and up, and then he showed the curse which involved iran, syria, uh... and uh the likes uh at the northern part uh and it's interesting i like to ask you the question where he put saudi arabia is the focus along with some other countries but he has the notion of a greater israel which uh from what my understanding is is going to take land away from saudi arabia away from egypt and away from jordan and syria and iraq so that kind of uh goes against it doesn't it? yeah yeah i mean um uh look i'm i'm not going to make a comment about netan, i just want to go back to what sarah was saying and to say also how encouraged i am by how extremely well-informed um sarah wilkinson is and how good it is to listen to an activist who is so well-informed and to say of course we we should be blaming these international organizations for dodging the political
7:18 am
implications behind the starvation and genocide that's happening in in gaza. but to also point out that this is not just these organizations, it's a coherent media, governmental um conspiracy of complicity in the genocide, the fact is that if the people the west knew what was happening in gaza, they would be, and indeed actually, even though they not told the truth, they're on the side of the palestinian people, but like lot of countries, there is look. between the people and the government, i'm sorry not to follow the question that you wanted to ask, no, that's okay, i actually we're just fresh out of time anyways, and i have to unfortunately stop you to, thank you, thank you so much, jonathan chadwick, writer and activist from london, thank you, sarah wilkinson, it was a pleasure, human rights activists there from midlands uk, which leaves us only time to bring in our correspondent mariam sale to get an idea about what is going on when it comes to the
7:19 am
hz fighters, mariam, if you're with us, give us the latest on that, well of course. hezballah is definitely on high alert and all across the border and we have latest statements which is very dangerous development that we have uh that the hazballah commander hazballah commander has uncovered uh they said that they were able to spot as a result of their surveillance movements of an israeli force just behind a united nations interim force base in uh the town of mars and they said that they were given orders the fighters were given orders not to uh target that israeli force since it's seemed the israeli force was using the united nations, the uniful force as human shields, and so hazballah made it clear uh, that this is something the world needs to know, they need to know that the israeli forces and the israeli military and occupation forces are using the united nations even as human shields and so that is very dangerous development has stress that
7:20 am
they would not target, they will not put the unif forces and peacekeepers in harm's way uh but they will continue. to strike several areas all across the border, and we also know that the israelis have transformed several areas uh like sholomy and admit and arab aramisha uh into closed military zones, adding to the number of settlements that have been have become basically a larger military base in order perhaps to gain preparation or to mobilize to attempt another incursion into specific points and areas in south lebanon. thank you for that, mariam sal, talking to for. beirots, which brings us to an end for this edition of debunking them. thank you so much for being with us, we look forward to seeing you in the next episode of our program and the team. it's goodbye.
