in on this uh before we we in your thoughts batul, where do you see this going?the israeli occupation entity cannot survive without the american backing, um, if the us withdraws. its support, the entity will entirely collapse, it's inevitable, so its operational boundaries are ultimately, so israel's operational boundaries are ultimately defined by american interests, the us, in my assessment is unlikely to engage directly in a counterattack against iran, meaning the israeli responses will be limited ultimately to what america permits. consequently, i think as a result of that, we're even seeing that this revenge has manifested in heightened destruction in leben and gazza, as indicated by a whole week's delay in israeli responses, and bear in mind israel doesn't have this... kind of idea of strategic patience, that's iran's thing, israel's very hasty, um, but this, this is simply all because the israeli occupation entity cannot enjore strong retaliatory strikes from iran, which has demonstrated its capability to inflict real harm, so should the israeli occupation

sabeti back with us, batul, we've had gatherings of crowds in london uh in condemning the israeli uh acts of aggression in lebanon and gaza, also we know that even in israel people have had strikes and people have have been gathering against the aggressions of the israeli regime in the in in the middle east, what do you think these, how effective these moves can be in putting a stop to? demonstrosities uh, within the israeli occupation entity is one thing and within uh the global arena is another, um, the protests that we're seeing within the israeli occupation entity have everything to do with the fact that um right now the settler society is under a real existential threat um because they are seeing first hand the way that this war um is existentially threatening their survival, it is stripping away the components that give the israeli occupation entity the... capability to be a stable uh country and to ultimately survive, so what do mean by that? for example, when you have two million settlers um going to uh bomb shelters um in fear of the uh missiles coming towards tel-abib for e

well, batul, i mean, it it just reminds me because we're talking about this attack on the resistance resistance front and the psychological warfare. well, i want to go back to the the victory uh, from the time of the victory of the islamic revolution, because of course, um, iran, um, and starting this, this, are encouraging this perspective and bringing the various resistant groups together. from the very beginning, it was said to... that the the revolution wouldn't last, we saw the many many uh assassinations of some of the uh most important people um in the country from the president to the prime minister to... many members of parliament and just uh unbelievable people right bause they kept saying it's not gonna last, it's not gonna last, it's not going to last, and uh uh as charlotte talked about with hizbillah from before um or hamas from before that continually saying you're not gonna make it, you're not going to last, but your take on why they cannot be successful when we're talking about these kind of resistant movements. "absolutely, that's because um, they don't have the mor

batul sobeti is a lebanese born political analyst with background in chemical and energy engineering. she's particularly interested in analyzing political and social issues, seeking to understand them from their root causes and offering perspectives not typically presented by the main. stream media and i'm glad to say batul joins us now batool, it's very good to see you again, let me ask you from the background of your professional expertise, uh, many people have speculated that an nuclear device was dropped on lebanon, if not a nuclear device then something special uh the jazin skyline lit up in extraordinary fashion and mushroom cloud. issued forth, was it nuclear weapon? was it one of donald trump's mother of all bombs, was vacuum bomb? what do you think it was? it's good to be with you, george, um, i think i'll start off by saying that a war is not one by the capability to cause mass destruction, it's one by not allowing your enemy to, the resistance in gazza and lebanon have the israeli occupation and efforts to achieve its objectives during this past year, what securing their ow

batul is human rights activist and political analyst with a special. interest in the middle east and foreign policy and she blogs at stances to salvation. welcome to the show. david, did you think a year ago that the economy of the settler colony would would be showing signs of strain? "i don't think any of us imagined when we first saw the signs of the uh breakout from gaza of the palestinian resistance forces, what would ensue uh, and of course the fact that the economy of the zinic entity is feeling the strain is very instructive, of course it's it's a multiple uh group of factors which have caused this, it's not just the question of the of the conflict and the diversion of personnel into fighting, it's also been that huge numbers of people have left, large numbers of of..." have to had to remove themselves from the north and indeed around gaza, so you see this the footage of the of the tomatoes and greenhouses in kibutzin beside gaza, rotting on the vines, because there's no one to pick them, there's no one to take them to market, because the whole thing is falling to part to bit

well, batul again today, we have seen just the continued killing. at least 16 more people were killed in gaza today, 45, at least 45 were killed just in siiden today, and it just continues to increase. i mean, your thoughts about this, you know, we we watch the regime one year, just commit all kinds of atrocities, and allowed it basically to continue, and now they're doing the same thing in..." lebanon: your thoughts: right, absolutely. um, as we know, the israeli occupation entity year in has not achieved a single one of its goals in gazza since the start of the war. uh, and apart of this is due to the fact that you've got the lebanese frants that have been supporting razza since the start of the war, and of course, as we know, they're striving, their main goal and aim is to split the two fronts from one another. um, and in their assessment, you know, of course, the psychological war against the people of lebanon here is so important uh, because they are unable to... defeat the islamic resistance of lebanon on the ground, of course, um, aspects like you know, carrying out assassinati

significant thing to say, because iran has been saying for many weeks that is about to uh respond, so if if batul is right, there will be no iranian rescue of the lebanese masses. russia has anti-aircraft batteries in syria just up the road. including the s-400, which could knock these f-35s out of the sky before they were able to bomb. is russia going to come to lebanon's aid? i very much doubt that. is macron, who's called for security council meeting? is macron going to be the savior of the lebanese people? i very much doubt that also. so i think you and i, father have got to get down on, our knees and ask the almighty to come to the aid of the innocent women and children being slaughtered right now in lebanon as they have been for a whole year in gaza with no government meaningfully standing up for them coming to their aid no international organization meaningfully, it's been a lot of uh cosmetics but meaningfully uh coming to their aid and stopping this disaster, my apologies to all those who didn't get through to the show, time flies uh when you're having a show as good as i hope you though

in their interests to stop the war. thank you so much, battul, thank you for being with us today, batul subative broadcast and commentator from lebanon. now i am going to first let me give you an update, a recent update, we've got breaking news in the israeli war planes have targeted the... the outskirts of the town of asamaiah in southern lebanon also there are on the media reports that 250 people again 250 human beings have been killed. in in nearly 10 days of aggression on the back valley region in south lebanon. i am now joined by our own press tv correspondents has joined us from very good to have you. what is your intake on the latest developments? well in the past four days. in tehran we've been busy covering different gatherings uh from the iranian people from all walks of life uh that they are actually expressing their solidarity with the people of lebanon and reiterating their support uh for the people of palestan and for the palestinian cause and after the declaration of five days of morning in the country by the leader of islamic revolution said ali khamenei following the as
