was we want to see more transparency in terms of tax money goes uh we know for example uk is hosting elbit systems that is the producer weapons a lot of which are used against palestinians, the double standards as far as freedom of speech, if it comes to ukraine, it's a whole different story, you get running the risk of getting rest if you speak up for palestinian, yes, your thoughts on that, because we earlier that i think the palestinian cause has now become a litmous test for many people in the country, that means the litmus test extends to politicians, it also extends to the ways in which the people see members from the... community reacting for a long time uh people who are activists or of that nature have always been sort of um sidelined or belittle it was sort of the image of the tree hogger or you in the in the wake of the the environmental crisis those people were gluing themselves to the road activism is now becoming part and parcel of people's identity in this country and you can see that they're manifesting that either through the way in which they are speaking social media uh

support for the israeli regime, the expelling of israeli weapons factories, manufacturers, chiefly elbit systems on uk soil that makes w or component. for weapons that are used in situations such as we what we had been saying unfold the genocidal campaign against the palestinians, of course at that the incursions and storming and the killing of palestinians in in the west bank as well over the past two months go. that is the sentiment here, emotions are really running high, people are crying their eyes out, lot of them when we approach for an interview would say, well just end up crying at - i can't really speak. and the they were speechless and the atrocities that are being allowed to take place be perpetrated against the defenseless population in the gaza strip cover uh just before you... go uh the you recall when the process first started how there uh were efforts by the authorities by the security services police etc to try to restrict these protests and i think it's a long way. where's that stand right now? it's a very good point be presence here, but as you recall there was a lot o

who have increasingly you know come to the f. i know there's a a day of global action now against elbit systems the largest israeli arms manufacturer who have many um sort of spaces in the uk on thursday the 21st of december and there is increasing as earlier young people are joining and i think that the political and media class, and i think that's something that's really important to stress, that the western media class also sacrificed, i think a large part of their legitimacy in front of their domestic populations by aiding and abeting uh the genocide uh in gaza, so i think direct action is is increasing, and i think the young people are not waiting anymore uh for their political leaders and not believing the misreporting of of the main. stream uh media with regards, and i think that's hopeful and that's and that should be welcomed. yeah, let me uh, since you brother up, let me put the same question to um professor rosenhet, as we heard from our correspondent there, about the um makeup of these protests where we saw lots of young people, again the the gen z, the so-called millennials

elbit systems, puma, cutter pillar, hyundai volvo heavy industries, barclays bank and motorola are examplesanies that are on the list of the boycott movement. israel were placed. number. there are many american companies that have joined the movement to boycott israel. the online house rental company airbnb has announced that it has removed 200 houses from the list of rented houses in jewish settlements of the west bank due to the encroachment and occupation of palestinian lands . the white house is looking for a way to impose penalties on companies supporting the boycott movement. republicans fully agree.

the occupation and we've seen already many actor. young people protesting weapons manufacturers like elbit systems in the neighboring state of new hampshire and young people have been arrested and are being charged so we're seeing increase in these kinds of actions we're seeing student occupations at their universities we're seeing dyings at their university we're seeing tremendous outporing of support and so i think it's really important to recognize that we cross the rubicon as they say and we are really in different level of activism and momentum for palestine and this is really life and death this is the liberty. or the genocide of the palestinian people, and so with that we are seeing plenty of actions, i think taxes are one way to do that, and i think that the vast majority of the american public is in favor of seasfire and is not in favor of the us continuing to arm and fund regime committing genocide today. i mean, there's a red line here between those who believe in humanity and those who are inhuman, just really should not have anything to do with the any political. any religious

palestine action and uh protests and blockages other weapons factories they have already closed down to elbit systems uh exactly yeah yeah weapons manufactur yeah but but the point to also can mind is that um short-term change needs to be built into long-term change as well in order to keep those changes locked in place and something that really needs to be understood is that zionism when you look over the decades uh of of israel's existence and zionism has always been a confluence of the worst interests of humanity right now what we're seeing is a confluence of interests around energy so there's gas reserves you know that have been discovered off the coast of gaza which was uh you know it's been negotiate it's been negotiating since the 90s how are palestinians going to uh benefit from their natural reserves on their territorial waters we're also seeing influence - sorry interests uh a conf' of interest around the weapon industries we've heard there have been i think it was in the guardian and there have been leaks there have been recordings of high level um executives in weapon systems i th
