10:15 pm
the massacres that are permitted by this there is are nothing compared to what a mess reality we can live in and the event i believe that there is political interest for both sides to escalate and not to have any sign of ceasefire at this moment in order to gain more more political discourse president of the foreign ministry the story detached from the earth who who's telling who what is he talking about the night of sixteen's or bombing the apartment buildings shopping centers businesses schools sports facilities in the jungle these bikes there and have said out who i'm going to have built i know what life is too much but you cannot compare 9137 and more than a 1000 engine you cannot compare that and you cannot compare the the the the

abilities of how master another was a distance actions in gaza with the ability of the strongest state in the middle east protests have broken out on israel's doorstep with pro palestinian demonstrators and several middle eastern countries heading to the border with israel to condemn the violence. oh god. god around 1000 jordanians have been demonstrating on the border with israel for a 2nd day now to show solidarity with palestinians in jerusalem and the gaza strip police clashed with the protesters using tear gas to disperse the crowds demonstrators were chanting down with israel as they marched to the frontier several anti israel protesters also took place in the jordanian capital and other parts of the country. appropriateness tinian rally was also held in lebanon a small group of protesters actually cross the border into israel and were shot upon by i.d.f. forces according to local media 21 year old protestor was hit by israeli fire and
10:17 pm
died from his wounds a lebanese army and security forces were deployed to disperse the protesters earlier we discussed the unrest in the wider region and middle east with at with middle east and defense analyst dan far from. tensions in the protests and what we see in israel's neighboring countries is shows us how much of a tinderbox the israeli palestinian conflict is to the surrounding region what's important here is that both countries the governments fully understand that it is hamas that must stop the rocket fire that hamas is the instigator and so they're going to try to do as we see everything they can to keep those posts esther's and suddenly the protesters the people in the street do not understand this dynamic and naturally they're sympathetic to the palestinians in this case it's understandable because the the 'd video footage you see on the news is much more dramatic and much more tragic on the palestinian side we hear on our side 2000 rockets is incredibly
10:18 pm
difficult we know how to defend ourselves because we've poured billions of dollars over the years to build of defensive capabilities to protect ourselves from hamas and hizbollah rockets if need be so that just goes to show you that the government's full well understand who is at fault here and hopefully they will continue to control the protesters as much as possible. in paris riot police were deployed to break up pro palestinian protests on saturday dozens of demonstrators were detained. i. do the. demonstrators chanted slogans and held banners which read israel is a murderer and the genocide activists have gathered despite a ban by the authorities over fears of violence and the french interior minister himself called for the protests to be blocked over $4000.00 officers were mobilized in paris palestinian rallies are also taking place in other cities across the
10:19 pm
country including marsay and leo. and now in germany 2 clashes and arrests were made in berlin the marches coincide with the annual nakba day which marks the expulsion of palestinians from contested land after the state of israel was created over 70 years ago. while in greece pro palestinian supporters rallied next to the israeli embassy in athens scuffles broke out after around $500.00 activists faced off with police. also a top prosecutor at the international criminal court has warned palestinian militants as well as israel that they may both be subject to an investigation in early march of this year the court opened a probe into possible war crimes in the palestinian territories which dates back to israel's operation in the gaza strip in 2014.
10:20 pm
i. the ongoing investigation is looking into crimes allegedly committed by individuals or groups of people israeli security forces were accused by palestinians and some activists of targeting civilians and critical infrastructure in gaza including schools and hospitals palestinian militants on the other hand were also accused of firing indiscriminately into israeli civilian populated areas the 2 sides reacted quite differently to the launch of the investigation with palestinians hailing it as quote necessary and urgent while israel rejected the allegations and refused to
10:21 pm
cooperate altogether with the i.c.c. calling into question its authority and jurisdiction both those sentiments were echoed by guests we interviewed earlier. and the international community is doing nothing to stop israel they are just what the watching even condemnation the security council is a lot of info to the palestinians or they are hopeless they are helpless and they feel this but it and this is what led to is available this is it is it and is trying to find a way to the cancer. and see what i see just a guess as are the other way think the british. general to take his place next month and they think that he could change the. decision of the one who was supposed to become. general organ so that listen even to hear of the court of heart the heart is almost a you do not know well gump you know she's
10:22 pm
a muslim it's us biased on the 1st floor even speaking above i'm going to answer or soon as she's briskly the fact that she was raised in the will simply because they could be deeply in the semi jewish decisions we do look at spirit and judgement to be made by the score monoliths their high supreme court of usury we are judging on steroids of git to be a lot of times no you have problems with the bad behavior all. we jump to mutiny we sure what we. now in other news how would you like a free lift to get your covered vaccine and then a burger to reward you after you've had it that's the plan of the white house which is recruited over at mcdonalds among others to drive up covert shot rates it's all part of president joe biden's ambitious target to vaccinate 70 percent of us adults
10:23 pm
by the 4th of july is the take of archies dimitri pollack. have you heard about these things called covert vaccines yeah apparently they're all the craze right now i mean i wouldn't heard about them unless i was constantly bombarded with calls to get vaccinated i mean seriously how many people do they think live under rocks we get it you want to get backs unaided but the advertisements are getting out right annoying and as if there weren't enough of them left over and mcdonald's have partnered with the white house to spread the message even further a white house that at this point seems kind of desperate lives and over will now offer free trips to vaccination sites while mcdonalds will bombard their customers with we can do this coffee cups and stickers as well as a giant billboard on times square and if all of that doesn't convince the public to come to their senses politicians are ready to lay down their careers for the cause there's
10:24 pm
a lot of good reasons to get vaccinated but for some of them you know if you need another one go it actually it is sure you're alive to vote against me in the next election. i'm going to get it done all these attempts have had some effect over the last 5 months there have been significantly less covered vaccine skeptics but there are still huge segments of the population which are far from convinced and the media has been trying anything they can suppress way these people bombard them with ads appeal to their human decency ridicule them in comedy sketches everything just seems to backfire. on them pretty jewels and welcome to legal who take begins where i tried to convince my family to take the cold with betsy but politicians won't sleep and so all these people are not related so i guess we'll just wait and see what other crazy strategies they come up with to convince a bunch of people to put a needle in their arm for the greater good in the meantime enjoy lockdowns social distancing and hearing about vaccinations day and night even if you've already
