on a gaza bound aid flotilla in may so far israel has shunned any suggestion of an international probe into the incident next we take a closer look with veteran british journalist alan hart who spent decades covering the arab israeli conflict stay with us. 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 chips 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 and 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 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 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 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're 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 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 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 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 cars that seemingly in response to its national international press are. 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 will 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 and 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 zionist mean. anti the colonial enterprise without being in any way shape or form and is semitic and 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 and elsewhere 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 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 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 we 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 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 and as soon as not only those goods told him to go to hell is that 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 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 threat 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 all. to at least have the capability but let's just supposing iran had one to 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. 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 it's all about the future of the region with the palestinian authority now decidedly divided entity with hamas in charge of one part that's an important corrupt irrelevant it is there any chance of a t. 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've 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 sowed 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 his row to behave in its own best interests as well as those 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 gets the lead.

which brightened. all of our song from sales to impressions. totty dot com. culture is that so much of it is if you should be. finding your remark with this pakistan prospect of becoming a failed state the worst claims it is an indispensable our life and its so-called war on terror.

lead. the lead. exposure of the biggest u.s.

military history reveals major cover ups over the war in afghanistan including. support. from small people as being. the international space station. became habitable. structure and space became possible. with stay with us. hello there welcome to the school of the east and the headlines. shock defeat to scar again slip up in the russian prime league meeting at home my spot right now in

. preseason playing both manchester united and big spending sitting loose in america. and lapping it up moans i guess when number six to extend his lead in the my attention paid championship start the football they were in the russian premier league again slipped out the army men suffering a two one loss at home to spot in our cheek and missing the chance to go second in the league it was the visitors who opened the scoring david said i'd say we're seeing the pinpoint pass blasted into the top was and at the end of the first piece i was going to come to think of it in the sport i think soon as i said that timelessness of how to pull go back there with the short side was. so

famous to then i thought so. in the meantime last i managed to pick up only one point some hours they tried to go through against the best type of players to get to the red weiss more chances to score but it's just. nice. to see. i am a sense of history. the school. welcome i think is still undefeated after five games this season the big one how about that for a free kick by alexander alley at sixty minutes in for the go under strikers to top corner then nothing of a goalkeeper could they win if you're thinking it's a replay it's not easily it's been in the same spot. i don't get them but at that time my second thought. be kind back first let's need. to in july and rain get this one reaching more last week equaliser.

incredible to make sure you will be a relic i am now one nil dennis but i can serve the only goal in the twenty second minute or so. i just about going in. the jungle entertain terry bloody kavkaz because of problems with that page that. i had to sort of scoring fifteen minutes from time for one no winning and you seven points above the drop so that's likely to the table that this is how things look after fourteen games how being played any to still on top but not a loss to that i'm sorry for defending champions rubinar in second tie up seven points behind while the army men are in trouble is a bit weaker soviets are still in the relegation zone. kma much tonight it's up to surprise the fate of their own a two one loss to m.l.s. side kansas city visit i was fifty thousand fans turned 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 when diving ohno put the ball past united standing keeper ben i. you know i think where i will to level just before the bright be a third because i need it in the box by jimmy conrad who was sent off as a result of a penalty was awarded which carries through. the soon afterwards the wishes were back in front. with the head there was some confusion as to whether it had crossed the line but i'd go with the bond story not to tell you that with america with a match against the m.l.s. stars in princeton and the. it was also a memorable. she won when you read but was beaten big spending manchester city in the final game of their pre-season tour the barclays challenge then richard setting up the candy to put the red bulls ahead. the half time city did level three zero go on the end of cross a. good chance to get going for the red bull thing going to get it in her either

a good thirty yard strike from him sitting losing both games in this tournament. while the pool was won by sporting lisbon on goal difference she spoke to the side street to see robbie keane getting to the top just a minute like to speak she lives through c.-span and this is a really good diving headed to. the end maisie run from jenny valdez put the portuguese two one up. by departing a challenge you were before the intersect to put you on the front of the cat three wood forty four lies a coup finished one came forward to watch were. another news alberto contador says he is relieved to have won the tour de france the spaniard winning the race for the third time in four years after beating andy schleck by thirty nine seconds while russia's denis menchov also on the podium

finishing third overall contador had given himself a vital lead in saturday's time trial and was able to print editions of champagne as they headed to the finish paris of the last stages one bar britain's mark cavendish you pulled away because meat is in the chantilly say five stage things became vitiate happy man but the greatest of pools were safe and contador and at twenty seven years old he still has the chance becoming one of the greatest riders ever the grades of seven time trial when alonso in front was twenty third i wrote he announced his second time in the sport afterwards and contador said it was one of the toughest holes he's why. i don't. thanks a lot to everyone for showing this tendon this is never a moment it was a very very very difficult times i felt not as good as it would have wanted to from a physical standpoint and in the psychological level the hard moments as well. now

for ari have been handed a hundred thousand dollars fine after their controversial success at the german grand prix their driver thando along as i won the race ahead of teammate felipe massa but only after ferrari apparently told him to let along overtake along as i go by bill sebastian vettel who started in pole position a massive as ahead of a long day was then told by team along as it was fascinating to me can you confirm you understand the language they match that it is to make us so sure they are against f one rules and the sport's governing body has handed ferrari a hundred thousand dollar fine red bull sebastian vettel listed this hamilton still least the driver's championship mclaren team mate jenson button along as i described sunday as a victory for. having us already stronger sold. off three in qualifying. in the race you know the femur as well as the.

keep improving. and on to the work on these two. good performance from the team and hopefully next week in hungary we can. score and some strong points for the team or stay on the track where the reins i was one making us grand prix this was a sixty eight races this year and extends his knee to seventeen points in the championship the spaniard coming home three and a half seconds faster than his nearest rival cases by the finding world champion rossi finished despite still the right way i make. but suddenly they they overtake me so quick. and i understand. right but i found myself in the foot position so. i try to do it because you must but you will be. i mean i. make a mistake. and danny was big you so far that bush's social much and i

knew that if if i keep pushing him maybe he can make a mistake and at the end he maybe. it was much easier to do the end as easy as a great last round of golf for sweden's call pederson win the canadian open he started the day four shots behind american dean wilson but just to be end a single shot patterson shot six thirty tonight with a not even allowed him the luxury of a bogey on the final hole his fourth win on the p.g.a. tour and it also. applies at next month's u.s. p.g.a. . golf i went down to the last hole of the scandinavian masses another suite which had johnson forty four to thirty and victory void of. johnson was the baggies you were cutting lawns broke playing at the provincial oakland so i walked in for a friend and local radio d.j.

and his team on. the way. and finally in tennis where american marty fish has won the atlanta championship by beating compactly johnnie's no fish lost yet he said sit back in the second to take it by the same scoreline forcing a decider and a twenty one eight on a tie break in a match and the bases and straight wins and a second title on the team they share. the unseeded. beat the odds to win the german open in hamburg the twenty three year old so off the number three seed you can melt sunday spinal sixty seven for the score the world number one prevailing then in straight sets he wins his first a.t.p. tour title and a nice two hundred twenty. the price my. very. first day at the special hearing on clay court i never expected then my first thought that there's going to be on a plane radio i believe in myself and then. well
