5:02 pm
in its 2nd week. entire families were exterminated and their homes were demolished on top of their children by the. bread death terror and human remains in the rubble of them destroyed buildings and streets the palestinian death toll is approximately $200.00 including $59.00 children almost and then they are children they are 234 years on what did they do that made it necessary to kill them one of the targets the israelis were after they targeted their missiles at small children who did nothing wrong they were tome to pieces falling to the dead over 1200 palestinians have been injured and what some are calling unprecedented attacks a journalist on the ground reporting for r t describe the scene. as really intensive ever strikes are killing women and children inside their homes and it is important to note that israel did not send out 3 warning for these buildings just boarded before they bombarded them which is
5:03 pm
something the new 3 sit in to it as israel used to warn to people before they attempted to strike the building on the israeli side there have been at least 10 deaths including a 5 year old boy killed by hamas rockets while much of the world is asking for a cease fire to end up what should be cooling so much for you when the most urgent and the present task at this moment is to cease fire and to stop. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is not ready to comply of all so our battle against a terror organization continues in full force hamas we are charging very heavy to crisis from hamas and will for their own bearable aggression the i.d.f. carried out attacks and more than $1500.00 targets during the last days according to the israeli military it has destroyed 15 kilometers of militant tunnels in the homes of 9 hamas commanders in addition this airstrike is said to have taken
5:04 pm
a hard hit the commander of the northern division of islamic jihad on saturday president joe biden spoke with palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas calling on hamas to seize rocket fire into israel in addition today abbas met with a u.s. diplomat in ramallah biden also talked to netanyahu get a rating his strong support for israel's right to defend itself while raising concerns about the safety come journalists in the war zone over the weekend an office tower which housed several international media organizations was destroyed by the i.d.f. . no you know who it is really military officials said they've transmitted intelligence to the united states which shows hamas was using the building for their operations however the u.s. secretary of state while on a visit to denmark countered that claim i've not seen any information provided and
5:05 pm
again to the extent that it is based on intelligence that would have been shared with other colleagues and i'll leave that to them to assess. efforts to stop the violence are being blocked as u.s. representatives to the united nations continue to obstruct efforts by other countries who are asking for a joint statement from the u.n. security council which would condemn the violence and calls for a truce in lebanon for t.v. i'm alex my love it. jewish people worldwide are facing an onset of attacks amid the violence in gaza and israel are teens john hardy has. as the violence continues in israel and gaza anger and outrage is boiling over in many cities worldwide where fights have broken out between pro israel and pro palestinian demonstrators in london england several parliament members including robert general the secretary of state for housing communities and local government

5:07 pm
quote we condemn in the strongest terms these brazen acts of assault intimidation and hate targeting members of toronto's jewish community and supporters of israel there is absolutely no justification for political violence in the streets of toronto whatever one's cause may be to put it bluntly those who hate israel so much that it inspires them to ag and assault their fellow canadians are just a threat to jews and threaten the very fabric of canadian society in karachi pakistan hundreds of protesters burned both israeli and american flags and in amman jordan the protests also turned violent over the weekend with police square. during off with demonstrators marching through the streets their violence and anger showing no signs of letting up anytime soon for r.t. john hardy. on many are criticizing israel's response to hamas rockets being vali their way israel's own iron dome missile defense system is one of the best in
5:08 pm
the world with over 90 percent accuracy now couple that with offensive weapons often sold by the us israel is by far the most protected country in the middle east for more on this i was joined earlier by former pentagon official michael maloof here's what he had to say. 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 that type of democracy that we attribute to the u.s. given how they've treated the palestinians and how the united states regards
5:09 pm
or how how the israelis have conducted themselves particularly in their what appears to be an apartheid 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 a laban's round on the west bank limits room is a trigger word that the nazis used for their acquisition of territory in europe and i think it's astounding that we we still regard them as a democracy when in fact they're not. now 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 and in just a moment ago we heard john jordan who you've been on
5:10 pm
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. where netanyahu has sent in a message and neither the the by the ministrations really not in control of this latest dustup netanyahu is and he knows that he doesn't know that he that he doesn't have. a lot of support from the biden 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 they are a raid that the israelis did on the as your previous person said about on the evening of the nazi holy over there ramadan night on the aid it was. and that netanyahu at the same time had just lost his timing to form
5:11 pm
a new government and law now who was asked to do with that has had had to suspend this formation of a government in light of this latest crisis so this writs into netanyahu is narrative he benefits from this and the yet to get back to your original question the do a deal looks upon israel as a as a military ally and that 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 they are 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 2 to a national emergency ultimately going to be declared if netanyahu continues on this
5:12 pm
course nobody is in control the un can't do anything the russians are proposing a quartet of the u.s. russia un and e.u. to come together and try to resolve this thing it's been rejected by you know what so that tells you netanyahu is in the driver's 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 bibi but do you think trump's 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 going 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 i can
5:13 pm
to 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 into syria it's a real muddled mess but we see a pattern of behavior emerging from all i have one thing i've always learned from you is that as soon as the weather gets warm the blood begins 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 might maloof i always appreciate your expertise thank you. all right next we will play 6 degrees of jeffrey epstein and explore the relationship between bill gates and the late sex offender and if that relationship is to blame for the gates divorce that's coming up and later at the sports h.q. regina hamm brings us a runaway game for the western conference we are in and the last and remember to keep up with all the latest news or catch up with anything you might have missed download the portable t.v. absolutely watch us whenever you want but we're right back.

stereo we're finding out 21 years look. let me give you this scenario i could say ok i'm going to pretend that yes this is a regular couple and he was found down melinda who is the funniest one i don't mean to jump out of order but but it but i've got to tell you this one because we're going to run out of time it just kills me can you believe this story they want us to believe that melinda is saying you know i i i i think i'm going to have this reversed where the kids get $10000000.00 i don't think that's fair you don't build those that he wants to kids just to have $10000000.00 and i'm going to enlist all these high prices state lawyers who look glenda euro billionaire give whatever you want what is what is his story. there is something here called the limited hangout i don't know if this is true but me just give you the way it works
5:22 pm
well let's put this story out so everybody will jump on this kind of like a rodeo clown a barrel you know in in bull right now this is steve this is hey over here and the bull runs over and we're talking about this they just were it was near me too and what about melinda and now i'm wondering what are we not talking about now let me ask you another question because you this we have been with this because this is ours we own this. and jan we all know this now here's here's a story this past week a while back there is a natural yeah all of a sudden we see her with her hair i see her just once chua you know show show you know she with your terrible was are great you grew generally she's out of brooklyn she's in this hellhole and she's sitting there and all of a sudden they say we're having
