an israeli court convicted for sleeping with a woman while pretending to be jewish. good night thirty one now here in moscow this week the un human rights council appointed a panel to investigate israel's deadly attack on a guard's about aid flotilla it may israel rejects any international probe into the incident now in our interview coming up next we take an in-depth look at the arab israeli conflict with british veteran journalist alan hart who spent decades covering the issue. today i'm talking to you alan hart veteran middle east correspondent and conflict resolver we're going to start by talking about israel's blockade on gaza and the aid ships that are trying to get into the region allan hart that's very much for talking to r.t. now let's talk first about israel's blockade on gaza and the eight chips that are trying to get in and israel insists that that blockade is legal what do you think
4:31 pm
well let's first of all say that the purpose of the blockade is the collective punishment of the whole people of gaza to try to wean them away from hamas now collective punishment by definition is a war crime it is absolutely illegal. the only benefit of the attempts to break the blockade is not really assisting the people of gaza but it is helping to make israel be perceived in the world to people as more and more prostate and who is set to gain the most from that p.r. exercise has a very simple truth that most people don't know when israel was created and closed the palestine file after its picture on the battlefield in forty eight. the whole establishment world wanted that file to remain closed in other words zionism. and the western powers were not only of one mind the arab regimes behind closed
4:32 pm
doors world one mind they wanted the file to remain closed the palestinians were supposed to accept their lot as the sacrificial lamb on the altar of political expediency and then along came this arguable man yasser arafat who opened the file and it stayed open so the file is opened but it's deeply embarrassing for the arab regimes because they are divided they are impotent they are corrupt they are repressive so back to the flotilla a point that you made it's a little gesture that says you know we really with the with the palestinians that's what president carter well it's called b.s. bullshit they're not and what part do you think the palestinian leaders should play in trying to allay fears that those supplies are not in fact going to feed the people of gaza but they're going to arm them well first of all how many rocket attacks on israel have there been in the last year or so and if we go back take
4:33 pm
a step back and say why did israel invade gaza in the boot tell us at the end of. two eight in the beginning of two zero zero nine. hammer said actually kept the ceasefire for six months the ceasefire was actually broken by israeli action. they had been looking for a pretext to move on gaza to try to break the will of the palestinians so the idea that the term. represents a threat to israel is plain stupid hummus is real position and it's on the record is that they would be willing to accept a two state solution based on israel's withdrawal to sixty seven lines with them preferably an open city in the capital of two states now they're on the record as saying that now why is that the hummus position because the hamas leadership is
4:34 pm
very pragmatic like arafat was it may not like it but it knows that's what the vast majority of palestinians would still accept so they have no choice but to go with that but maybe we'll talk about that later the two state solution is dead let's let's get back to the blockade for a second there israel says that it's now easing the blockade allowing certain supplies to reach seemingly in response to its national international press or do you think that the timing of that is evidence that israel accepts that this blockade is unjustifiable to the international community well i have a yes or no no answer yes answer is zionism and i hope as a point we can talk about different judaism and zionism zionism is becoming terribly worried about its image in the world it realizes of course it is being perceived by people as if not governments as something of a prostate so you can say yes to a certain extent they're playing their own p.r.
4:35 pm
to bend to that to say look we're not all that are reasonable but i would quote one of the better independent writers on it jonathan cook who writes out of israel palestine will have a story the other day so what it means is the salvation of the strangulation of the people of gaza more slowly maybe not. is a good time to talk about the differences between zionism and judaism as you perceive them the key to understanding is knowledge of the difference between judaism is are some simply stated judaism is the religion of jews not the jews because by no means all jews are religious and like christianity and like islam it has as its core a set of moral values and ethical principles right now that is judaism zionism is the nationalism of some juice it's a sectarian colonial enterprise which created a state in the arab heartland for some jews by terrorism and ethnic cleansing and
4:36 pm
in doing so it made a complete mockery of the moral values and ethical principles of judaism the truth in summary is that judaism and zionism are total opposites now why is the knowledge of this important because when you know that you can understand two things why it is perfectly possible to be passionately and to zionist meaning and see the colonial enterprise without being in any way shape or form and the semitic anted you why is that important today. because of israel's behavior in the world since ninety forty eight but particularly in the last decade and a half its wars in lebanon elsewhere in the palestinians israel's being perceived by the people of the world as a prostate so what we're witnessing is the rise of anti israeli is now that is not anti semitism it is anti israelis in other words it is
4:37 pm
designed this colonial enterprise. that is promoting anti semitism now that actually is what's on his mons son is needs anti semitism in order to go or justify what he's doing and what about israel's position in the rest of the world do you think that it's reaching a turning point where the us may be forced to say at some point in the near future enough is enough only an american president has the leverage required to cause or try to cause israel to be serious about peace on terms virtually all palestinians and most other arabs and muslims could accept the problem is that an american president has his hands tied by the zionist lobby the zionist lobby really does control in congress. american policy for israel power so i'm not saying the whole
4:38 pm
middle east i'm saying israel palestine now if you look at obama i think obama meant well possibly means what it is but i think he was an ideal for an inexperienced he came into office quickly challenging netanyahu of the settlements in jerusalem and as soon as not only goes to the total go to hell and back to president carter once made a comment to me he said that any american president has only two windows of opportunity to take on and have a chance of defeating the zionist lobby in congress the first opportunity was in the first nine months of his first because after that the funding for the midterm elections starts. and the second opportunity was in the last year his second term if he had won and let's go back to the region for minix another of israel's issues at the moment is iran do you think that iran is justified in being worried about a nuclear threat from iran i don't think they have any interest in developing
4:39 pm
nuclear weapons but maybe some of their number now saying look we ought to at least have the capability but let's just opposing iran had one two three dozen nuclear bombs do you think you would be stupid enough to launch a first nuclear strike on israel of course it would because the whole of iran would be devastated the real reason why israel is playing up the iranian threat is to deflect political and other attention away from what it is doing in the occupied territories but the only real problem prison is if iran did possess nuclear weapons it would greatly limit israel's ability to go on imposing its will on the entire region and let's talk about the future of the region with the path. today and also our city now decidedly divided into a with thomas in charge of one pump that's important corrupt irrelevant but is
4:40 pm
there any chance of a tea state solution no the two state solution is long ago dead the two state solution never would've given a fair complete solution to the problem it's now much too late to happen i mean israel's colonization of the west bank is is about forty two percent of the land area and it's stretching so there are now in my view only two possible outcomes. either there will eventually be a one state solution which i had said jews are now does have equal rights but in my view zionism will never allow that to happen because it amounts to the town eyes and. i think israel's leaders will invent a pretext to drive the palestinians off the west bank and into jordan syria or wherever and the blood will flow the west bank will be sowed with blood and
4:41 pm
it will be mostly palestinian blood and if there be honest reporters around they will call it a zionist holocaust now i fear that's where we're going because that wouldn't be the end of the story it would so inflame. a muslim masses that you would be opening the pandora's box of a much wider conflict well as i think i've suggested earlier the only person with the real power. to try to influence israel to behave in its own best interests as well as those of the world is the president of america now yes it's true that europe russia there are lots of other countries with the same power the same leverage economic sanctions whatever but no other government on earth is going down this road until an american president gives the lead.
