and scott rider, former weapons inspector in iraq out of bethlehem, new york. well, thank you both for being with me. i'd like to start this off in tehran. oh, said mohammed, how is it that the israeli regime not only does not care about the growing calls for seasfire around the world, but has actually increased its attacks on hospitals, schools and un entities. i think it's a combination of number of things. first of all, it is racist, supremacist regime. it's uh, in the eyes of many former uh, south african political activists who experienced jail under apartite south africa, it's much worse than apartite and we've seen for years regime leaders speak about palestinians as being subhuman. after october the 7th we've seen that sort of language intensified, the uh regime is also i think uh has lost its mind collectively as a result of october the the defeat on october the 7th, it's sort of like uh the united states post 911 where they suddenly went and sought out enemies and invaded afghanistan and iraq and regret it they came, i think i believe that at least th

the spotlight, said mohammed marandi, university professor and political analysts out of tehran, scott riderers for being with us, on another spotlight, i'm marsia hashimi, signing out for myself and other group right here in tehran, hope to see you right here next time, goodbye, this is while israel's occupation forces are perpetrating genocide in gaza, the zinish propaganda machine has gone into overdrive, on the one hand, people see every day children, babies being dragged from the rouble dead and dying or having limbs amputated. on the other hand, israali leaders and zionist leaders have uh made huge list of genocidal statements, the human animals, the unhuman animals, we must wipe them all out, there are no civilians in gaza, all of these are patently genocidal statements, we talk a lot about hostages, that israel had five. hostages before october 7th, they've now stolen kidnapped another 5,000, so they're over 10,000 palestinians imprisoned actual in in jails, not just the open air prison of gaza, لا اله الا الله لا اله الا الله لا اله الا الله لا اله الا الله والشاهد حبيب الله والشاهد

you know no military advantage, the zionists after having been defeated on october 7th with what scott rider has called the most successful military raid in history, have been taking out their frustration on the innocent civilians of gaza and two-thirds of these 12,000 plus people kill. in women and children, and then we have another 10, 10,000 plus injuries, uh, severe injuries, these ordinary people in gaza are being slaughtered by the zionis due to their own military ineptitude, and we just heard about how they fire so randomly into lebanon, again a sign that this notion that the zionist military is so capable and competent is really a public relations facade that has been manufactured by the zion. owned western media and that's been their last line of defense uh for so many years, this notion that they're invincible, and that's one of the reasons they've been able to intimidate the regional countries or many of them anyway, into backing off and so-called normalizing, which i would call abnormalizing, and currently uh so many regional countries are afraid to cut relations with the mad men
