saib shath, if you could please tell us how how is it possible to balance israel's claim to have the right to defend itself, with such acts of terrorism, booby trapping uh objects that are of daily use of ordinary civilians, such as this uh pajor incident that we witnessed. happening in lebanon? to start with on the level of international law, right to right to self defense when you are an equipier? is denied, so the zinest entity occurying farms of shabha and parts of lebanon, apart from talking about the whole historical of palestine and the golan heights and others, so this idea of self defense is a manufactured lie by united states of america and the west to impose that on the back of the international law which have no illegal legal exist whatsoever. saying that this all operation of attacking civilians by rogue state a mass terror deploying a mass terror techniques uh it came on the back of the on the 25th of august when the lebanese resistant targeted the the intelligence units in galilot base in the serbart of tel aviv and this is ' "it's a message by this intelligence saying

program. out of riz political analysts and out of belfast, author commentator and west asia expert, saib shath. welcome both of you to the... program i'd like to start off in beirot, i mean your thoughts, radan, when the hezbulah deputy chief says of the war or the uh retaliation has enter new phase, what do you think this means? well, i, i rather call it a return of ahead or operation, because now we we know that we all know and we understand that we are in a state of war. either we admit that or not, since the 8th of october in order to support the gaza resistance, palestinian resistance in gaza, so now the lebanese resistance are involved since the 8th of october and it's legitimate for the lebanese to support their allies or their the their... the the uh the the the palestinian fighters in in palestine because after all we are fighting the same enemy for the same cause and the uh we all know understand that the israelis were preparing themselves since years ago to invade the southern lebanon in order to push back the hizballah from northern litani river so it's a war taking place, escalati

saib shath joining us there out of belfast, stay safe, we'll talk to you soon. joining us now is uh bruce cats uh co-president at palestinian and jewish unity. before we go get to uh bruce, we're going to give him a chance to get set up. we're going to come back. back to you uh mosen, i want you to answer uh the same thing if you could please mosin, how what is the regime after by now uh instead of opting we mentioned for that seesfire, multiple seasfires put an end to everything for more escalation against everyone's wishes including its allies into lebanon and possible regional war. do you agree with what mr saib shoth or do you have a particularly a different take on this? um i can i do ag with part of what the brother said, um, but i was slightly buse, this is our analysis at this point right, we don't, we don't have concrete evidence to the intentions of the regime, but the analysis is that i would slightly, if i can give a different perspective in in my opinion, there is a reason why the access has been retaliating within certain parameters and limits, eve

saib shath, we know that, because he mentioned this too, uh, as far as us leadership and their complicity and and their uh, their stance, their position when it comes to... the gaza genocide and and the escalation and lebanon uh, what what are we to call it? because it seems like the biden administration uh, didn't want to see escalation into lebanese territory, wanted to see a cease fire in gaza, it got neither, but it keeps giving billions of dollars worth of weapons to the regime, iron clad support is all we we hear out of the white house while we hear a bunch of supposedly behind the curtain and and behind the scenes a condemnation of netanyahu of his approach of his campaign of genocide of his protraction for 11 months and obvious transference over into lebanese soil. we also know that trump in in his first term basically uh came into presidency on the ticket that he's going to get the troops us troops out of uh iraq and afghanistan he did so in afghanistan and to a degree in iraq but um at least he struck the deal and then biden uh made a mess of getting him out but um make a long s
