conference heralds medical breakthroughs but critics label it a pharmaceutical marketing fair put in profit before treatment. and a flying into trouble p.r. stunt that attracts the outrage of adam a lovers and the police hot on the tail of the parasailing donkey. and this week the u.n. human rights council appointed a panel to investigate israel's deadly attack on the gaza bound aid flotilla in may israel rejects any international probe into the incident and our interview 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 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 thanks 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 israel insists that that blockade is legal what do you thing 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 hoping to make israel. be perceived in the world of people as more and more prostate and who is set to gain the most from that p.r. exercise as 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 doors were 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 obviously man yasser arafat who open 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 words 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 a step back and say why did israel invade gaza in the boot tell us at the end of. two eight and the beginning of two zero zero nine. 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. hummus represents a threat to israel is plain stupid hamas 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 of sixty seven lines with the use of them preferably in the 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 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 go back to the blockade for a second there israel says that it's now easing the blockade allowing certain supplies to reach gaza 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 i hope to the 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. 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 and we have a story the other day so what it means is the salvation of the strangulation of the people of gaza more slowly and 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 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 design is the meaning and the colonial enterprise without being in any way shape or form and the semitic anti jew 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 and elsewhere in the palestinians israel is being

perceived by the people of the world as a prostate so what we are witnessing is the rise of anti israeli ism now that is not anti semitism it is anti israelis in other words it is designed this colonial enterprise. that is promoting anti semitism now that actually is what zionism wants sun is needs anti semitism in order to go or justify what is 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 but they 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 policy are not saying the whole middle east i'm saying israel palestine now if you look at obama i think obama meant well possibly means well but i think he was naive and inexperience he came into office quickly challenging netanyahu over the settlements in jerusalem and as soon as not only those goods told him to go to hell he backed out 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 term because after that the funding for the mid-term 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 america is another of israel's issues at the moment is iran do you think that iran is justified in being worried about a nuclear threats from iran i don't think they have any interest in developing nuclear weapons but may be some of their number now saying look we ought to at least have the capability but let's just suppose ng 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. today and also r.c. now decidedly divided into a with hamas in charge of one point that's important corrupt irrelevant is there any chance of a two 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 and which as i've said jews and arabs have equal rights but in my view zionism will never allow that to happen because it amounts to the zation

palestine 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 so with blood and 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 suggested earlier the only person with the real power. to try to influence israel to behave in its own best interest 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. question is that so much different if you should be. fine you're in the market for this purpose and the prospect of becoming a failed state the worst claims that it's an indispensable our life and its so-called war on terror.

is. so much more frightening. song from pilots to impressions. from star totty dot com.
