comments about democracy in india, and that is sometimes provoked a crisp response from the extra rule affairs ministry. if you look at the state to state government, the government level a, we think it's important that democracies are mutually respectful. it cannot be that one. democracy has a right to comment on another, and that's part about promoting democracy globally. but for now those to that then it becomes fluttering into finch dental partner and interference as part of the defense, irrespective of who does it and ready to start. show. uh sure, it's a, it's like the best, the area on my personal route, which i have shared with many of the boxes the collaboratively like to come in. but i would really like to come in to new. i'll come in. so don't feel bad when i do by tomorrow. the story that says live down to opting cars on a run during the shuttle runs and always good to see. okay,

the background to this story and what prompted the model from the indian form is without any one was for lord dr. as j. shankar who happens to be in does extend assessment and stuff would know that he does vince as well as and he says that she was added to so he's was one of those words. he said why he was in the us and 5, this has been twins of thoughts that to us from time to time would criticize india. and it's not just the us government, but it's also the western press. and this has really or india. now we're either have a whole list of, of the recent times with india has been in the criticism or from of the us. i'll stop with this summer. and this is when americans attacked democracy. google us watch dog, got a u. l u as democracy watched all the, basically claim that in their faces a puerto dating switch,

this is something that is also backed up by the western press not once, not twice. and number of times again of number, do you daddy has put the sizes. so was put aside for the lack of really just be boom in the us. steve departments really just feed the report in 2023. again, the us very conveniently ignoring what's happening in their own backyard. number 3, the us remember, was extremely frustrated and had a meltdown when and nothing's more the indexed priming. this stuff was in law school in june. i remember this assignment team to see when the meet was on. it was on in washington, and there was a lot of criticism that came in. does we, that came some movies we and all of that because for, for over 2 years now in the us, been expected to distance itself from russia. why? because what russia happens to be the us is i will,

of the sanctions that it impose on knob on russia. i wanted in there to abide by them. it wanted in the, not only to distance itself from russia in terms of the risk, the storage relationship with chess, but also the biometric trees that they have in the us. lots of full time story didn't get enough to buy any or from gotcha. but his boss in just continued to do that, and despite that repeatedly what we've seen is that the us a special in depth, the big size, the size in the i'll be very clear that it's sort of policy is that of neutrality. and to see again, the strength of the international alliances come together to, to support you printer, that is in its efforts to defend itself. and so i think that's the important the piece here is to try to protect and preserve the international order. we understand . india is

a long relationship with russia and india has to make it sound determinations about where it's wants to be on. on the scale, let me point out, the pol could see the double standards in that statement. so basically the u. s. ones in the out of steel re, from russia, it's rival, but simultaneously the us things, it's okay to be close to india and drive that's focused on bought the new was that the us has from india, the double standards really, they don't know work for india, but also remember that recently when they were the new set of functions on r t a by the u. s. the us diplomats, who are in the near or to reached out to indian officials regarding a possible band on our team in there as well. and in doing, for shows reportedly very conveniently, ignored those

a requests from the u. s. in fact, i've been speaking to a lot of of diplomas. former diplomats who right clearly told me that india would choose what i wouldn't matter to. oh, so what's the now the best in the will not have a, a war. let people watch watch. they think that's the us. so we're, so that's been very vague. yeah. so the message really here is that it's high time that us on the stand, the india does not need any validation from room just size of a from that's we're going out of time. we're pretty sure that yeah, but my that's all for me now. my colleague, my to go check will be with the the top of the the

the hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered on peter lavelle? what is the state and future of the resistance movement, challenging israel with the gods as genocide continuing unabated and testable as leadership designated? what are some of the choices facing a rent is israel getting? it's which of a regional war, the cross fucking the resistance move and i'm joined by my guess mohammed mirandi and be root is a professor at the university of toronto and montreal we have when we rabbani he is co editor of devali. alright, jolene cross top roles in effect, that means he can jump in any time you want and i always appreciated. well, how many let me go to you 1st and be rude? there's so many separate individual things that we can be talking about. but i'd

like to go for them the broadest picture around starting off in what is the state of the resistance right now, given what's going on. it's been happening in the last week in 11 and go ahead of people here, obviously in a very difficult situation. that's fairly easy. it. yeah. with a shock on, on the 1st day with me on the south central 11 on a visit. and you said people, that's when i decided to come to be a bit of a but also to do my own part with media. and when i was amazing, people are very angry, obviously because of the slides. but then we'd have the, our sites in southern it was where i was, i was about a 1000 meters away from where i said pass on that. so a lot of was underground. some of the i or the ground showed 080 we one part

of this house and hundreds of people were this we're, we're sorry, you know, they're my sabbatical here. when i was working, i pay the conflicts form. so they just, they're all this fight, but the west would meet. yeah. of course only focus is on the market. the said they don't want to deal with the genocide aspect to dislike and then an hour a, the intern from southern they the reply that is going to be able to be but only a very short period of time. obviously they really didn't want to be and that strung over 10, maybe a dozen different phases which weren't declare and then it just began and they got worse. so people were, were married. and then when they discovered that say it was march or people were people who were refugees on the street, they were we see tiers, but uh,

they quickly, they quickly uh, competitive sauce. and i'm really believe that the larger than, let's say it has sudden us on both sides. resistance is the west. people in the west and some of these may save these, okay. was that he was a towering figure. he made has for long what it is a cell machine from a bay where i am right now. and the feed is, i isn't out by the and all these other groups as well as a sophisticated organization today, maybe intelligent people may be higher, educated people, very effective and spread out across the country and beyond. and they, they are more than capable of defeating this way. the evidence and the notion, i think, uh the resistance be dependent on an individual group of individuals. i think it's

sort of raises, orient. yeah, yeah, this is, you have a structure there and it's raised for me from and i think they'll see that they will lose. yeah. because the resistance is an idea and it's communities it's, it's not one person. and, and if you go according to the west to one bad person, okay, well, we, you know, as we speak right now, there appears to be a ground incursion into lab and on there's a lot of conflicting reports about what to what degree and what, you know, it's limited and targeted. i think i've heard that before. oh yeah, i did. 1982. they said exactly the same thing. it didn't work out then it didn't work out in 2006. what's going to be different this time? we well, we'll have to wait and see, i mean regarding your previous question has above us deputy general secretary and i am costs of him yesterday, gave an address in which he stated that has been the remains institutionally

coherence. that it will quickly replace those leaders, including the general secretary who were recently killed within a very short period of time that it retains the will and capacity to fight. and it's that it retains its military capabilities and it will not renounce any of its objectives. in other words, there will be no the linking of love and on the gaza strip. those are fairly clear criteria, so we should find out before too long to what extent has about has been weakened and to what extent hasn't regarding your question. it's 1982. it's 2006. it's somewhat ironic. 11 on the smallest arabs date is where is rarely and us hubris and goes to diets the graveyard of these grand admissions and 1982. you have ariel sharon's operation big pines falsely sold to the world as,

as of operation piece for galilee, which was sold as an attempt to push the p a little back 40 kilometers from these really border but was actually a grand plan to remake the levant and it's made achievement was in fact the establishment of hezbollah, which is real, is fighting today in 2006. as you may remember, the us secretary of state called the liza rice referred to as rules invasion of love. and on in that year, as the birth pangs of a new middle east, and it turns out to be a rather bloody miscarriage. of course, some of the past is not a definitive predictor of the future. but i think what we've seen now is that is real, has announced a very limited objective for its invasion of loving on,

mainly posting hezbollah forces back up from the border. but it's already clear that it's envisions, are much larger, i think is real given what it has achieved in terms of assassinations during the past month. now is confident that they can dismantle and destroy as about the as part of a broader plan to also directly engage iran. and from its point of view, hopefully the engineer a direct to us in the way it seems to me that you know, they're trying to solve all of their quoting quotes, security problems simultaneously. this is an opportunity they said, and they have a very ply, an american president and congress that will go along with and i want to talk a little bit about around in the 2nd part of the program. well, how many do you know? one of the big discussions i've had with people, serious people, is the discussion over tactics and strategy. the walk and slaughter of people is

a tactic, but it's not a strategy. these rallies are very good at doing that. it's a and a front to humanity. what they do, but it's not a strategy, go ahead. the well actually in the strategy is assignment and for the story is right, that machine that the world is fine. that's what they want. the big guy was ready to have done the last year. has not, it has not only been stored in the military, they will never be invested in some major investments in the future again. but all that aside is very easy. this made itself into a legit so many people that who never would have said such things before. peter. one of the extraordinary things is that some people are

right. not criticizing the wrong for about 5 minutes by now. by the way you can strike it is what so many people that i know are hon, contacting me from across the world and say, why is it you are getting is all please hold. yeah, our decision maker is something, you know we, the monitor is being supported by people. also all the want to hit israel is rich because who does change this is if this is the strategy that they have succeeded just a couple of decades ago. we were, you know, when, when i 1st came on new sho, many years ago you ron was the axis of evil. yeah. demonized across the world. and now we see people from all walks of life, jews, jewish friends of mine,

christian friends, and my mazda and friends of mine, others asking why is it the one punishing new jersey? and i think that is symbolical, something something much bigger this very by due to jayden myers and yourself. i think the really nice the resume is going to have problems in the months and years ahead. that will will become a issue. they cannot do as a whole, i mean another issue moving that it will, that i don't think will be ever resolved it. lease it when we think of the region is uh, the united states is having any kind of legitimacy whatsoever. everybody knows that the, this is really government could not do without what it's doing on so many different brands without the united states and joe biden do as duplicity says he is a reflects that go ahead moving as well. i would argue that the us essentially forfeited the any legitimacy that it had in this region in

2003 with the invasion of iraq. and i think you're right that any residual legitimacy that it has retained and the 2 decades since that has, has evaporated dentists in error in the past year. and i think we also need to be clear about the nature of the us is really relationship. many people like to present the, the us as a country that is in effect of the subordinate power as one that is controlled by is real and these real lobby and, and, and so on. you know, as i would like to say, i'm tools don't, why dogs, dogs work tools. and in this relationship, it is indisputably the united states, that is a superpower and israel, which is the regional proxy. and it's true that us policy

towards the middle east has now for several decades. been characterized by i think, what many observers would, would call unconditional support for israel, but never the less what we've seen in the past year moines. and i've had to jump in here, we're gonna have to go to a hard break, but i will ask you to hold that thoughts and we'll continue when return. okay, we're going to go to a short break. and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on the future of the resistance. stay with the welcome back across software. all things are considered on peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing the future of the resistance movement. the

okay, let's go back to moving in montreal before i went to the break your characterize and the relationship, the united states and israel out in the region, please continue. i think it was making the point that the level of us support for israel during the past year as even by us standards on a whole new level absolutely no restraints on the us. and that so many of us european allies have knowingly unwillingly shredded the international rulebook, the norms in volume. so that under penance on the altar of this really impunity in order to ensure that israel can do as it pleases how it pleases without facing any consequences for its actions. and i don't think this is a product of some nefarious control of washington by an israel lobby or anything. but yes, israel has many groupies in the us congress and so on. but i think on the one hand, do you have an administration loved by the self proclaimed design and still by

doing that is almost uniquely invested in israel and israel being able to achieve that objectives despite its failures over the past year. but there's also a geo political element to here to this issue, which is that washington i think, quite rightly sees and is really success as an american success. and is really failure, or is really defeat as reflecting negatively on washington's position in the region and more broadly, geopolitically. well, i mean if, if we can go back to the road i, i can't, i, i understand the reasoning the moving gave us, but i can see how an is really victory. however, you would define it would be an american one because you have a regime that as low as than the entire read. how can that possibly be a win for the united states? but i suppose that's beside the point. go ahead mohammed reactor with the movie and

had to say, i think it both correct. i, but i just don't see it is rarely with americans. me when, if it is raise, succeed in subjugating ation region. turn out at the closing or fulfilling the process of westbank southern level. but i don't see that as a result, the opposite is c minus phase and the europeans have destroyed the image across the wall along the side as well. there see has a guess, right? be said, this is there, there seem to be a part of it is isabel is of the united states. the town does not wire the dog. i agree, the horse designers lobby is an american right there. in the united states,

there is a jewish christian who is there a secular and they are very how. so it is the united states, but they are destroying themselves to collect the what is destroying itself as a result of as well. i mean, also also a way i would say, you know, it's, it's, it's so easy to get into the, the details of nothing. yeah. who did this, and then biden said that, but i mean, it's is realize, reinforcing a greater american hegemony. i think that's the service they think they are providing and the americans are so grateful they'll, they'll turn their, turned a blind guy to genocide. i mean, it's really quite extraordinary. and for the goal of a gemini, which is in there, really dangerous, particularly in that region. we have so little time home. and i'm going to ask you about a around because that, you know, the, if that's what everybody we, you, your 1st answer on this program is about how the world is looking to around. and i know that iran has strategic patients, like the russians do,

like the chinese do the oh, how, how do you think the they were going to move forward here because israel wants as much violence as it can generate on as many friends as possible, always with the hope in which it with a lame duck president like joe biden, the americans will come in, they do the americans do have the hardware go ahead moment. i don't know if you can hear the sound of drones or the explosions, but this is what life is now or never these, these are busters here. i. well, obviously the ronnie is, will continue to support the access of resistance. they will continue to fight the resistance. they've got the allies, they will build more time, also weapons, all have new members of this regime. never be able to pay a cost and will continue to enable i'm sort of boss in. yeah,

man and america. and they will continue to defeat the americans in this way of using the red sea. but for those who say that these are they were, they wouldn't have had success teams don't be the powers that are far greater than that of. so these are people who lee in the, at the colonial struggle they believe in the cd design colonialism. and this, those are privacy, especially though it's not the category but anyway and drama continued to support high school, the thousands of kilometers of the panels that exist under that are not, these are the weapons at all. they are because of the wrong support. and it's not really hasn't heard, as well as the structure they killed the mattress and the b. b. as always in the weakest link it's, it's a cd of espionage. and my god. yeah, the western embassies,

residential, many wessick journalists, people going across the country. the machine has not had any successes dealing with . it's under brown structure at all. then we have syria, iraq, but i have no doubt that you run will and this is way, but she, the said they wouldn't, i, i don't doubt that that will happen. but i do have a balancing act to do on the one hand, they have to ensure that nothing yahoo is defeated so far has been defeated the fire, despite the fact that it may need to us or not. it was an upfront for the chief something through the state as far as, especially in recent days. but he is, he will not be with you right now that he must be defeated so they will protect

us of the other groups. but they have to do because the other one is really, really must be defeated by the other management. no one wants original the, the writers and it has all have their policy has allowed this a review to escalate 1st. so the international community forget the wes international community, the global south seas is really, really most address. so the western media products and the west coast was not able to turn the tables inside them. it is about the wrong. but you run room with the response and the kids are going to make a decision. are they going to initiate? if they do, then all that you're on, the mac has to be swept away pregnant, all that could destroy the whole oil and gas economy for the world. so no one wants this, but they were going to move it the wrong direction for a regional context. the miners and the resistance wants to make sure that the world

sees it. this is what the american is raised. it's not something that you're initiated. you know, moving ever since the inception of the state of israel is rarely foreign policy, has been quite a depth of dividing the error of neighbors and puts you, making them go against around. but over the last year, we've seen a couple, a lot, a lot, all these different groups. they may have differences, but there were united, more than ever, against this policy of israel, supported by the united states. i mean, this is one of the unintended consequences. where do we see the resistance actually stronger? not weaker as well. i said, if you go back through israel's admittedly short history, you'll find that one of the principles of those early state craft has been to prevent any unified or coordinated action against it. this goes back to the

armistice negotiations of the late 19 forties or israel insisted on negotiating separately with each air of states and succeeded in doing so. um its attitude during, for example, the 1991 madrid, i'm a peace conference and so on. and so i think israel's primary dilemma now is that it is being confronted by this coalition, known as the axis of resistance. and it's a coalition, not a formal alliance, but it is uh, coordinating. and therefore i think is real strategic objective. now that it's a little, you know, drunk with power after its successful series of assassinations and loving on during the past 2 months and, and elsewhere is to seek to systematically dismantle this coalition. first

by the linking its members from the gaza strip, then by the linking them from each other, and then by destroying each of them. and i, and if you listen to a speech and nothing yahoo gave yesterday where he basically promised the randi and people that salvation is at hand, that will be coming soon and so on. it's quite clear that israel has determined that the road to, to rock goes through the southern suburbs of beta route and given the situation in the us, i think period between now and the end of the by the ministration represents an extraordinary january 2025 represents an extraordinarily dangerous time, or i'm in my thoughts exactly. here is what, what, how will that play into the calculations? do you think into that? i think i agree completely down to your selections.

we have a very dangerous situation, but there's only one option that is to ensure the next video. and we should be here we are. any questions papa gather are the days ahead, west and media or 5 to speak of this very success is in, in, in a bad thing on the, these territory of the 2006. we were told that they were waiting and suddenly we woke up. i think it was the financial times of wall street journal, which shouldn't be the same as for the national one before i don't remember exactly which one it was. and i think that it was being drawn. and these are, these drugs are miscalculating the market, the same test, and i think it's only maybe people are more determined more angry. and as you're, as you raised the previous but it has.
