gaza bound aid for to the many so far israel has shown to any suggestion of an international probe into the incident well next we take a closer look with veteran british journalist iman hearts who spent decades covering the arab israeli conflict. 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. let's talk first about israel's blockade on gaza and the eight ships that are trying to get in and 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 helping to make israel. be perceived in the world to people as more and more staid 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 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 argued from and yes our of how to open the file and it stayed open so the file is opened but it's deeply embarrassing for the arab regimes because they are. i did 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 world'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 a step back and say why did israel invade gaza in the brutality 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 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 the use of 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 how most 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 get back to the blockade for a second there israel says that it's now easing the blockade and allowing certain supplies to reach garza seemingly in response to its national international press. 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 answer yes answer is zionism i hope at 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 i'm reasonable but i would quote one of the better independent writers on it jonathan cook who writes out of israel

palestine we have a story the other day what it means is the salvation of the strangulation of the people of gaza more slowly and maybe now is a good time to talk about the differences between zionism and judaism as you can see the key to understanding is knowledge of the difference between judaism as 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 sick tarion colonial into prize 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 zanny. meaning anti the colonial enterprise without being in any way shape or form and the city and to do 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 has been perceived by the people of the world as a prostate so what we're 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 son is and needs anti semitism in order to go

on justifying 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 u.s. 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 israel posts 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 inexperienced he came into office quickly

challenging netanyahu over the settlements in jerusalem i was soon as not only knows good as told him to go to hell he's 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 term because after that the funding for the mid-term elections starts. the second opportunity was in the last year his second term if he had won and let's go back to the region for a minute 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 and now saying look we ought to at least have the capability but let's just supposing 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 you ron 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 though 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 said jews and arabs have equal rights but in my view zionism will never allow that to happen because it amounts to the de nies ation palestine i think israel's leaders will invent a pretext to drive the palestinians off the west bank and into jordan syria or ever . and the blood will flow the west bank will be sewed 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. find your democracy is pakistan

a chick a comfortable tingle advantage with a blistering effort. less than two minutes later to see it see. the task the muscovites a pretty easy a pulling one back with a shot from my side for the second half didn't seem right. to the mountain side to me but moscow managed to pick up only one point in samarra as they tried to go in a store against both the table and use of yet old red whites had no chance to school but christie protect his gold intact in the ninety minute alexander should call for the shiny second yellow card for a foul and sent off but this didn't really influence the outcome of the school run and may say. that my teacher still undefeated after five games for him to teach me to sit be for free kick bags and live sixty minutes in for the go asunder strike into the top corner nothing which is a valid ski could do even if you think it's a reply it's no. use saying sport fifteen minutes later and probably gets to be

considered to do any better that time around the second half but come the hives aleck's medvedev has been back from form. and if you haven't seen enough of the long range drive he's not good for you makes him a lot with the equaliser. any credible distance to all the fun school. soccer in the relegation band emco one male delis but i think seth would be any go in the twenty second we need to throw stones at that. and you can resign be unspent eric on the neutral turf and that he can't cast because of problems in my patch color didn't fall that the former host david to saw i have scored fifteen minutes from time for a one no win and united seven points above relegation. thankfully i actually spotted chris christie a tough spot i think i could go a stroll there with waspada now to stop his skull from moving back in the second that we've seen them two one in moscow saranda as

a result the there and this is how the table looks after fourteen games have been played any still on top with not a loss to their namesakes defending champions rufin in second by seven points behind while the army men are in third and struggling since being christof yet of are in the relegation side. meanwhile mention itis of a surprise two one loss to m.l.s. side kansas city wizards with fifty thousand fans turning out to watch this pre-season friendly in the states and kansas did it with ten men for most of the game they got the first go one day we all know is for them to pass the night to standing a keeper ben i must. you know i think your level just before the break berbatov was up by jimmy conrad who was sent off as a result the penalty was awarded for that. and the carry himself back to school. but soon afterwards it was the wizards who were back in front taken with the head there was some confusion as to whether it had crossed the line thank you

so you would look on the net to see that america through the match against you in the left wing stars it seems on thursday. some of those were memorable to a win for the new red bulls beating big spending manchester city in the final game with their pre-season these new challenge they said to me can be put red bull's head after halftime city level three zero go in the end of coming into cross here. but you just got a winner for the red bulls anyway forget it in a hurry. the great strike from the losing both games then in this tournament. totally goes down by sporting lisbon on goal difference and spurs off to the side streets it's a row became getting the first the top one. but just a minute later sporting equalise three mathias fernandez a very good diving header from him and then there was another good goal amazing burn from jenny valdez to put proportion to one up.
