hello there i'm going to channel your watching into question broadcasting from our to america's national news headquarters in washington d.c. here today's top stories 1st israel unleashing another series of heavy air strikes on gaza city the latest escalation after a bloody weekend on the strip next our live panel answers why are world powers not intervening in this bloodshed and could have blood on its hands when all the smoke is cleared we'll discuss it all right it's time to boost your news i q.

there seems to be no end in sight in the latest round of fighting between israeli forces and hamas the conflict started 2 weeks ago after violence broke out when israeli authorities in east jerusalem pushed to evict palestinian families in order to make way for jewish settlers now and turn out an international call to stop the ongoing bloodshed is falling on deaf ears as israel battles to push forward so for reaction to the latest airstrikes in gaza we will bring in our panel today ariel gold she's the national co-director of code pink and a u.s. mideast foreign policy expert and of course john jordan he's a political commentator and former naval intelligence officer there joining us to discuss these latest developments ariel let's start with you increased strikes are seeing a disparate number of casualties in gaza over $41.00 children 2 dozen women the

total number inching towards $200.00 totals on the israeli side still in single digits has the response from israel been proportional to this threat. the response for israel and i wouldn't call it a response i would call it russian for israel has never been proportionate it hasn't been proportionate for 73 years as israel has continuously removed indigenous palestinian populations from their lands it hasn't been proportionate as israel has held gaza in a blockade of air land and sea and it hasn't been proportionate in any of the creepiest massacres that israel has carried out in gaza i believe the death toll has actually gotten above $200.00 now and around there are a 3rd of those killed have been children. you do

us as well has blood on its hands in this matter the us just getting blocked a you know the un from even making a statement calling on israel to cease its war crimes in gaza the israeli cabinet met yesterday and said that they have no interest at this time in a cease fire in other words they haven't killed you and palestinians to satisfy them yet when john. has spoken to both israel's baby and palestinian president mahmoud abbas the white house says they will back any solution to a day escalation of violence but b.b. has vowed not to let up so why does the u.s. seem to continue backing israel unconditionally. well israel is out to finish hamas they want to send a message right now that they're going to they're going to prosecute this to the

end they're not going to put up with the rocket attacks anymore no more proportional to for tat that israel is israel is in the counterterrorism business for real here secondly israelis want to send a message worldwide that they take their own national security very seriously and this has implications for iran and what they're basically saying by not saying it is that should iran continue its path towards a nuclear weapon that israel will not sit idly by so this is sending a message worldwide to israel the idea is that raises the stakes with other world powers that to prevent a conflagration. a broader conflict in the in the in the region that iran needs to that iran iran needs to stop with the rocket launchers and all of the problems in syria iraq and so forth and and halt its ballistic missile program well what about our president though with his phone call with benjamin netanyahu i'm sure he had an

opportunity to apply some pressure to reduce the violence but he didn't choose that path. well there is no they actually that the bite in this regime is indirectly responsible by releasing that $6000000000.00 to the iranians where did it go it went right to hamas to replenish their stockpiles i mean there's almost the timing is is too perfect i mean you relax sanctions on iran and hamas acts up so bye bye bye bye showing weakness and showing the soft underbelly to the iranians you invited this sort of thing the iranians desperately need to change the course of events in the middle east until rob you see for decades it was the arab israeli conflict the palestinian question that dominated but recently it's become iran versus everybody else has so many arab states is seen iran as an existential issue but the iranians obviously need to changes their economic fortunes are and rapid decline well until recently with biden relaxing them needs to make the needs to

stir up the arab israeli question to make it politically difficult for the arab states to continue their rapprochement with israel ariel can i get your response to that is there do you see a tie between what's happening with the iranian funds being unfrozen the assets being unfrozen a couple weeks ago to this escalation of violence. what i see as a tie to this escalation in violence is the provocations that were carried out by the israeli government to break prime minister benjamin netanyahu we are looking at the forced remove all of palestine eons from their homes in the jerusalem neighborhood of shape sharaf we're looking at it's very cade's being cut up outside damascus gate to impose on freedom of religious practice for palestinians we are looking at the israeli military bursting into ooc some mosque on the holiest night of the holiest holiday of the islamic calendar and then all of the sudden

israel says oh my god i can't believe they are so upset with us now the reality currently is that hamas has been asking for a cease fire and israel is refuels day to seize their horrific bombings they are bombing residential buildings they are bombing buildings that housed international media they have bombed the main road in the rain hospital let's remember that even before this all started gaza has been in a 14 year long siege israel controls everything that goes in and out of the country even before this gazans were getting about 8 to 12 hours a day of electricity now we have israel's aerial bombardment their town sorry it's 12 hours they're down to one to 3 hours now let's also not forget that before all

of this started the hospitals in gaza were already crowded because it because of that 19 pandemic out there currently putting patients in the hallways because they have nowhere to put them and that's after the search under the rubble for in hopes of finding survivors john i want to get in there it sounds like you know you want to respond. well 1st of all 1st of all the 1st of all the hamas has as a rich history of embedding their operations in and around civilian areas hamas is used basically employed the human shield tactic for a long time so what hamas will do is they will launch these rockets launching attacks against israeli civilians and then they will embed their leadership their command and control and oftentimes their weapons storage in areas which are difficult to get to so that there are casualties when you're right when iraq when you see israel try has to deal with it so this is what hamas is doing this hamas is

doing this in and among civilians always does and then lend cries victim to the world very easy way out of this is how about they just don't launch rockets at israeli civilians. or folks go out go go harry does not bombs on palestinian children and again we're looking at about over $200.00 casualties the majority of them civilians in gaza right now compared to says home alone less than. israel this is incredibly just proportionate and i just i refute your. israeli talking points about from us using palestinians as human shields gaza is the 3rd most densely populated place on earth and if we look at the bombing the associated press and al-jazeera building that took place believe it was on saturday you know both of those reporters from both of those news stations have

spoken out in clearly saying they have been in that building for years and they never saw a sight of a hamas asset but this is israel's way that either it was a bomb to actually buy war crimes. committee. or our folks unfortunately i got to be right there a lot more to talk about i don't unfortunately seen this violence escalating in time soon we'll have you both back john jordan ariel gold thank you so much for joining us today. the hands of jerusalem and palestine will just some of the signs held in many cities across the globe to protest against the israeli attacks on gaza demonstrators were seen everywhere from new york to new zealand mexico the state of massachusetts places like jordan lebanon pakistan they all rallied in some areas denouncing this ongoing crackdown as a mosque in jerusalem's old city and as really plans to expel palestinians from east

jerusalem. now as we just said many are criticizing israel's response to hamas rockets being volleyed their way israel's own iron dome missile defense system is one of the best in the world with over 90 percent accuracy couple that with offensive weapons sold by the us israel is by far the most protected country in the middle east now this weekend senator bernie sanders lamenting the increased violence writing this op ed for the new york times quote he says in the middle east where we provide nearly $4000000000.00 a year in aid to israel we can no longer be apologists for the right wing netanyahu government and its undemocratic and racist behavior we must change course and adopt an even handed approach one that upholds and strengthens international law regarding the protection of civilians as well as existing u.s.

law holding that the provisions of u.s. military aid must not enable human rights abuses so long war on this scale will talk to former pentagon official michael wu mike so israel is the 2nd biggest beneficiary of u.s. foreign aid 2nd only to afghanistan which is a country ravaged by 20 years of constant bombardment and war why does the u.s. continue to render so much money to israel. well it has a number of has a number of. national security and foreign policy commitments secondly you have the very strong israeli lobby in the united states that insists upon it and you always hear the rhetoric out of any administration that it is a. bastion of democracy surrounded by 16 hostile countries so it's so with that picture painted we feel that it's one

of the democracies that we help establish when in fact it's not the type of democracy that we attribute to the u.s. given how they've treated the palestinians and how the united states regards or how how the israelis have conducted themselves particularly in their what appears to be an apartheid croce that they learned very very well from the nazis who committed them to the very same. treatment during world war 2 so i'm appalled because i also hear claims by the israelis even to this day of calling for laban's around on the west bank limits around is a trigger word that the nazis used for their acquisition of territory in europe and i think that it's astounding that we we still regard them as a democracy when in fact they're not wow those are some strong points and words

that you just made mike will further to that being that you have a d. o. d. background why does the d o d fight israel so important to their geo political strategies i mean just a moment ago we heard john jordan who you've been on a panel with say that there was a link in timing to iran releasing of their frozen funds to this you know fighting that we're seeing now in the past week. well netanyahu is sending a message and neither the the by the administration is really not in control of this latest dustup netanyahu is and he knows that he doesn't have that he that he doesn't have. a lot of support from the by the ministration for his own personal long long jetty and political survival and the timing of all of this was very impeccable when you look at the timeline the timeline being that the ox a raid that the this really did on the as your previous person said about on the

evening of the lessee holy of their mama the night on the 8 it was. and that netanyahu at the same time had just lost his timing to form a new government and lot did who was asked to do it that has had he had to suspend this formation of a government and in light of this latest crisis so this rips into netanyahu is narrative he benefits from this and the yet to get back to your original question the do d. looks upon israel as a as a military ally and it it it and it again this is because of its opposition to iran and i will add that. jordan was was partially correct in my view. when he said that this is a message to iran it is because the the israelis regard hamas as another

instrument i caused a lot of the iranians supply and financing and logistics and this is all a trail you to to a national emergency ultimately going to be declared if netanyahu continues on this course nobody is in control the u.n. can't do anything the russians are proposing a quartet of the u.s. russia un and. you used to come together and try to resolve this thing that's been rejected by you know what so that tells you netanyahu is in the driver seat now and lastly micro quick if we want to compare you know trump to biden we know where trump would fall on this or would be squarely on the side baby but do you think trump abraham accords played a role in emboldening israel in this latest round of fighting. i think it did one thing it basically had the arab countries remain silent as they as israel

has now gone after the palestinians and you're not hearing a peep out of the other arab countries and so i think it's because there is a fundamental alliance among them all again their their sights are set on iran as the as the bad guy and you have saudi arabia wanted to extend its influence back into the middle east and it will need is a real to do that particularly when it comes to trying to get back into lebanon and into and to syria it's a real muddled mess but we see a pattern of behavior emerging from all the mike i have one thing i've always learned from you is that as soon as the weather gets warm the blood began to hit the ground so unfortunately you are it's right it's going to it's going to get worse and you are right every time mike maloof and i always appreciate your expertise thank you. pleasure thank you. all right still to come will be a tale of crime spree taking place in wall to wall us cities that's coming up and later in sports the stars h.q. regina hamm takes us to a trailer of the final match at the will grow faster and remember to keep up with
