with me i have talked to enough wealth a member of the israeli parliament who sits on the final say and defense committees dr thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. a few weeks before the fatality came you warned the israeli defense minister a good bit about not to use military force you said at that time this has nothing to do with security and the armaments for hamas are not coming from the how then can israel justify its use of force well in my view the flotilla was alternately an effort it was a p.r. effort it was clearly not a humanitarian effort if those who conducted it truly cared about the humanitarian situation in gaza they had numerous opportunities and were offered numerous opportunities to take whatever they wanted it to god through the main entrance into gaza so this was clearly about sending out a message about a p.r. kind of campaign my argument was that when we are engaged in

a campaign over idea over images the last thing we need to do is give the other side because sadly what they want which is an image of conflict with israeli soldiers this is clearly what they want to be came into this effort seeking that image so clearly a provocation they think is that when you're engaged in that kind of battle you have to be smarter than the other side and not to give them the images that they seek so you can justify the use of soldiers and if you look at a very specific effort to kind of go through that blockade in israel has a legitimate blockade that is defined by international law as well but my point was that we are here are we are fighting and a war of ideas and there is an effort even i would say a cordon a good effort to isolate israel to portray it as an illegitimate state we have to risk. aren't kind and we have to protect ourselves by intellectual means

and when this is the arena the use of soldiers it's not the best use i'm not saying that israel didn't have the right to use them it has the right the fact that you have to write to soldiers doesn't mean that it's necessarily the smartest thing in the service of your cause what would have been the alternative to lead a through. we did it in the past and it worked brilliantly because you deprived the other side of exactly what they want they want that image of confrontation you deprive them of it the story fizzles the international media is not interested since this is ultimately a p.r. campaign you kind of literally you take the wind out of their sails by lation the ships through with that not have deeded just two miles to israel's blockade on gaza on the contrary. we let ships four times who have them our path and nothing happened because ultimately it's all about the story and it's all about

the media and if the media is not interested it disappears so you're now kind of backtracking given the interest that the world has in the story of result of our failure the fact that we kind of responded to the provocation in a way that what's not wise but had we just let it go through no one in the media the story would have fizzled within a day and if we would have fizzled within a day no one would have been interested in israel's blockade a moment later why do you not think that this was as the organizers of the for to list say an attempt to try and challenge israel's hold on gaza indeed many in the international community believe this as well oh because it's never about that because if it's not that then there's something else and because these organizations a few look if you look what happens with in turkey if you look at the suffering of other people around the world there's some have never show that same passion and caring about such. praying in other places in the world as i said if they really

wanted to bring good humanitarian aid they had all the opportunities to do so this was clearly a challenge and it was a challenge the woods focused it's something that is alternately ain't it israel's ability to protect itself if you're going to deal a jew demise that and someone said very beautifully you often go to meetings with senior people in europe and they say it says israel has every right to defend itself it's just that whenever israel tries to defend itself it's never the right moment so that's how you slow we undermine. the idea that israel has the right to defend itself as the homeland of the jewish people and every time we just find somewhere else and if israel leaves scars cell which is remarkable again israel left gaza to the one nine hundred sixty seven borders not a single soldier in gaza not a single settlement in gaza and yet what you see you see the palestinians and especially must think oh no no no you haven't really left he still occupy us

because the refuse to assume responsibility hasn't for bid that they should actually be responsible and build something and give up on this culture of always resisting always being against they would actually have to prove themselves and i think of that so there's a desire to constantly say you never really left you still occupy us you still responsible and because you're still responsible we can sit back and we're not responsible so why was is also defense minister a good book and the rest of the defense establishment not open to this kind of thinking because if you look at the leadership of israel today it was forged through military struggle and it was forged through anti-terrorist struggle so they are still the outcome of a different arena the arena that looked at military threats terrorist threats and that got there. good at responding to those threats and it takes

a while to understand that the arena shifted also for israel it took a while to understand that classic wars have ended and now it's terrorism it costs a few decades to find the proper response to international domestic terrorism to build an export based economy so these mental changes are actually take time because once you create those mental structures it's very hard for you to shift. when i talk about an intellectual attack of towns fluffy sounds i mean for a man who went through the military this this is not this is not a serious attack it's an intellectual attack in your opinion how is israel fairing in this war of words do you think for example that israel gets a say hearing in the international media there's no doubt that whatever happens here it gets this proportional attention to anything that happens anywhere else.

what i do find that the main problem here is that people rush to judgment. and there is no appreciation for the complexity of the situation for the complex city of the conflict and i think of anything we should insist on the complexity of things so that people would understand that it's not so simple to rush to judgment in the situation it's also simple to decide who's of the right and i think this what israel should really make a. good fight for about or for now that we're right they're wrong i don't think that's the way to go but just to insist that the situation is far more complex that might appear in the first few minutes of watching a video the findings of an internal israeli military probe has been published and they found that there were problems with the operation the planning the execution but the findings did not actually put the blame on anyone what kind of value do you think a probe like this has this is in the box no one comes up and says just

a moment the whole thinking should have been different the whole thinking should have been that this is not a new arena where the military gets sent because the military doesn't know how to deal with images with ideas. so in that respect it's not helpful to the kind of shift that i think israel should make in order to truly win in this war of ideas you wish in a book might as well all generation do you think that the new generation obvious way to ship such as yourself will take this kind of thinking on board yes certainly i mean my generation did my generation first generation that fought in the first intifada it was an intifada and there was a marked very much by this battle of ideas and images so i think we're much more aware of that we don't really we're not aware of a history of military and wars that's kind of in the books for us this didn't

history so yes i thing. hopefully that is some of the change that could take place but i hope it takes sooner than the time that is required for my generation to get to a position of leadership in the country do you think we're now going to see fit to last a tele with these radio leadership dealing with it in the same way so very much the same kind of reaction the desire to send ships came from what people perceived as disgrace the success of the first one right everyone wanted to pick surveyed when babies and gods are named aaron to go on then you know the iranian president wants that to you and someone in lebanon on in libya too but once they see the media is no longer interested it fizzles it becomes pathetic then also the interest to do so becomes lower does not mean that they look for more dramatic ways to get attention in the international arena so in fact the fit to look could be something

small compared to what is going to come well it's i think what we also need to understand about this arena is that it's never going to be a one off victory and it people kind of told me ok we would have let it go and then what always this question of and then what and i say when we go to war when we fight terrorism when we build an economy we don't say and then what we understand that this is going to be all the time and we're going to have to overcome challenges all the time as soon as we shift our understanding we understand that this is the key arena where israel and the zionist ideas threaten today that we constantly try to outwit and outsmart the other side the other side we're going to try to do the same to us and we have to be smarter and better but it's not going to disappear until alternately twenty thirty years from now as with all our other challenges and wars the other side basically says ok. they want duct tape not will thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. sure thank you my pleasure.

leaving just category sometimes modest of gets upset about the lack of investment in key sport so. unfortunately we don't get support from our government they prefer to turn the eyes towards olympic sports for example curling i do respect that sports but aviation can really build a country's glory and i think it's far more important. these planes have seen better times and due to that lack of funding the russian team is forced to fly them . for all sports haven't been produced for fifteen years try to make ourselves hurt and restart its production but so far we haven't received any reaction we walked aerobatics championships sergeant poland next month the russian team will be called favorites and the old no good performance will be a huge step towards stake in the sport's larry to new heights. but used to bog our team. and that brings us to the end of the sport i'm not fit for make for
