Were going to cross on over now and listen to what ism hannah is saying. Lets take a list. Ended this politics, designist policies for this facious government in alaqsa and the west bank and against our prisoners, against our people in the lands of 1948 and against our people of palestine, in order to continue our strategy of liberation and return, god willling. With support unfortunately from the United States administration and some western countries based on the issue of double standards and pretention and and false news and lies, which they by the way. Also said that it was wrong, but they believe that with this and with all of this killing and this psychological warfare, and by taking down the all the cards and the papers that they have and the those continuous rhythms and calls that they will push them to displacement and being refugees, and to come out of the land of gaza, we refuse, wow to this humility, and the people of gaza are deeply rooted. In their land, they hold to their country, they will not leave gaza, they will not be displaced, no matter what you do, they will not be refugees, you killers, you criminals, we have nothing but one path, which is that of return to our land, to our home, to the land of our fathers and our grandfathers, this has become not something that is out of reach, this is something that is near, that we can reach, the strategy, our strat, this of hit that has teach you very hard, this says that our return and our liberation is near with gods permission, therefore i salute our people in gaza, those who with blood and fire, stand in the face of the machine of killing and barbarism and faces killing, faces gian is killing, they hold on with their houses. With their mosks, with their of homes, i salute those protests that came out yesterday under the shelling, under the fighter jets to say that they are with the resistance, all the factions of resistance and the alqassam brigades and to stress that we are here, we remain in our nation, on our land, as long as the zatar the time and and the olives remain, we will remain, yes . This we can see that this is recorded now in the honorable list of the people of gaza and people of palestine, but today gaza is under fire, it is. Saying its word still, its historic stance, it is stressing the right of its people, the right in land, right in its homeland, right in its dignity, the right in its life, there is no refugee, there is no displacement from gaza, we will not leave gaza, we will not also leave from gaza to egypt, here i salute the stance of our brothers in egypt, who stress today that egypt, yes it is a brother, government, it is also welcoming of the people of palestine, but not based on the fact of refugees or displacement, we will not accept, it will not accept, and i tell our brothers in egypt, our decision is that we remain on our land, and therefore your decision is our decision and standing in the face of this israeli and zionist project, which is supported. By the Us Administration, this will also be failed, with this steadfastness, with this resilience with this united stands and the solidarity, this arab and muslim solidarity and this International Solidarity from all the free people of the world, they cry over these civilians and they cry for the the women, the children falsely, they try to store the image the. Which is with its culture, with its religion, with its resistance, with its also manners on religion, on jurisdiction of islam, on the ethics of the people of palestine. We have always, hamas has always stressed that it does not target the civilians, it does not target the elderly or the young, despite everything that this enemy, this zist enemy is doing, the daughter of this people, it is from the tree of this very deeply rooted nation, it is Liberation Movement which belongs to these values, to these manners, to these ethics and this culture, however, where is your position from the killing of civilians, the killing of civilians of our people, where is your position, where is your stance from the killing of children, the committing of massacres, destruction of homes under those live it, under its own inhabitants, where are your stances when it comes to the destruction of masks, the destruction of the infrastructure, where do you stand, where do you stand, from the israeli killing who killed in the past, many people of different civil citizenships, whether palestinians and other others in on the land of palestine as well. This movement, this Resistance Movement will not change, it cannot move away its gun, in the face of this media machine, this false and lies, the machine of lies, and which is also under misleading of course with the israeli story of side of the story, all this deception and all these lies is different when it comes to the values of the fighter. And the nobility of the high morals of the also manners of the palestinian fighters who deals with children in a good manner and we have of course many steps in this regard as well. Dear brothers, dear sisters, in light the flood of which. Was begun by alqassam brigades and other palestinian factions, the blessed factions have come with us, we say that within this flood and the flood of all the crowds and the masses of the arab and muslim world and the free people of the world, i extend my gratitude and thanks to all those crowds who have gathered in all the capitals. The arab world and muslim world and all the world, they have shouted out that they are with gaza, they are with palestine, they are with alquds, they are with alaqsa, they are with the resistance, they are against the zionist occupation, i highly praise and lord, in the name of our Palestinian People, we really praise and this this flood of people and gathering and shouting and protest. I to ask you not to stop, continue escalate your protest and your movement, your popular movements, come out and corner this enemy from all sides. Raise this red flag and this right red card in the face of the Us Administration which gives everything it can and all the coverage for this killing do not stop since the path of the resistance is continuous do not stop continue your path with all your constituents with all the factors in whom we saw in europe and latin america and in the United States itself, also as they say no to that occupation, no to that killing, no to that destruction, yes, we say also that this strategic for the resistance, and this resistance was recorded, a glorious day in the history of the people of palestine, it is saying today very clearly and it is expressing the conscience of our people and our nation that we need this occupation to leave our lands and to leave our alquds and to leave that we have a country, that we have nation on all our palestinian land. And its capital will be alquds and that our prisoners are released and our people return and the Palestinian People return and the bloccade is stopped, the destruction is stopped, the killing is stopped against gaza, peace be upon you, people of gaza, you courageous men, peace be upon the women, the children, its youth, and we are proud of proud of this. Resistance and its fighters and we salute our people in the west bank, this west bank which is revolting and continues its revolution and its resistance since we are people that is united, we are one people, we are one resistance and our salute to the people of 1948 and our people in the diaspora and god almighty is the one who is the most victorious and many people dont. Know this and peace be upon you. Live there ismaal, the leader of hamas speaking, to continue the strategy of liberation and return is what we are doing, this enemy is doing what it is doing with the support of the us and western countries based on the issue of double standards and lies. He said people of gaza are deeply rooted in their land and they will not leave gaza, theres only one path to our home, this is near and within reach. Our return and liberation is near. He saluted the people of gaza and the people who came out showing solidarity with gaza in the form of protest. There is no displacement, egypt, he saluted, it has stressed this also, no refugees or displacements, design is project and the evacuation and the regime itself will fail. Hamas is Liberation Movement, and uh, he said that uh, the killing of civilians, children and homes, he questioned what israel has behind doing that, some of the highlights there by the hamas leader ismaal. Do stay with us, were going to return back, were not going to go away, were gonna have zafrash come in for an analysis, um, he is an analyst who joins us now, zafar bangash, the ismail hana, the hamas leader has spoken, and uh, in particular, he emphasized the fact that palestinians will. Not be displaced or will not be forced to mobilize again of which he called uh described it as the the fact that they will not go through another nakbah that is one of the most Critical Issues right now which israel wants to enforce on palestinians how much uh which has been by the way been met by uh an impossibility like from the un, how much do you think that is a possibility and to what degree will israel enforce that do you think . Well as far as israel is concerned, it cannot enforce anything on the Palestinian People. What it is is that obviously some palestinian families desperate to avoid being obliterated from the air, have moved out of northern gaza, but the vast majority have stayed put simply because they have nowhere to go, even if they go south of the gaza strip, israel is still bombing those convoys or those people streaming. On foot etc. Many have been killed, so in terms of israels threats that it wants to enforce another nak on the Palestinian People, the Palestinian People are not going to ex except that i mean 60 of gazas population consists of people that were ethnically cleansed from their homes in 1948 and now this is the second or Third Generation that is growing up there, theyre not going to go over there and they are going to stand up and fight against these war criminals that want to destroy them completely. The palestinians refuse to be destroyed, refuse to be intimidated, we must give credit to them because they are. Standing up to the biggest military machine in the region. Do you think that the way that israel has issued this warning is something then that theyre going to think twice about . Youre saying that they cant enforce it, but what if they go ahead with it, and what if civilians, unfortunately if they do decide to just go ahead with it, theres civilians that are going to be obviously caught in this crossfire, because the Bombing Campaign has also more or less continued with. Do you think that israel would take that chance . You see, israel has continued to bomb the civilian population for more than a week now, they have killed thousands of people, in fact the figures that we have is more than 2,300 or so civilians killed so far, but im absolutely certain that this number would be much higher, and of course, there are hundreds of Young Children that have been murdered in cold blood, entire blocks have been wiped out, israel can do that. In terms of destroying gazas infrastructure because they have the air force, they have f15s, f16s, artillery, missiles etc. , but they cannot crush the resistance spirit of the Palestinian People. So now lets look at the scenario, if lets say what israel is trying trying to enforce upon the people of gaza is to force them out of northern gaza so that israel can launch its ground invasion. I have very serious doubts about israel being able to launch a ground invasion, because if it did, then the palestinians would be on virtually level playing field, even though they dont have heavy weapons, but at least now they would have drawn the israelis to a ground war. Now in the ground war, the the superiority of the israelis is neutralized because hamas does not have an air. Force, it cannot confront Israeli Air Force planes, but it can confront israeli tanks, there could, im sure there are probably mines and booby traps and then palestinian snipers can pick off israeli soldiers, so israel would pay very, very heavy price if it dared to enter or launch a gaza operation, ground operation against the Palestinian People. Its very confusing uh, not confusing, but trying to make out what uh there is on this uh evacuation that israel wants to do um so so they want uh the gazans or the palestinians to go from north to the south and then they they want to do that through what we understand a couple corridors um at the same time theres news that the us secretary of state anthony blincon is talking to some of these persian golf arab countries to see if theyre going to take in any of these palestinians saudi arabia uae and of course egypt being uh few of them and then we just had uh, not we, but there was a news wire that indicated that uh, in the next uh, in a very short period of time, from an hour ago when i read this piece of news, that the rafa Border Crossing is going to be opened up temporarily to allow us citizens to go through there, i dont know what that means, but the point, the part about the palestinians to be distributed amongst other arab countries, as if theyre just objects that are going to be flown in into these different countries, um, of course egypt has firmly against that qatar has uh voiced its opposition to that, what do you think about the thinking that the us has behind that . Well basically what the us and its allies are trying to achieve is ethnically cleanse the Palestinian People for the second or third time, this time from from the ghaza strip so that the palestinians would not be anywhere near the the the zionist illegal occupiers of palestine, thats the. The larger objective the us and israel and americas other allies, as you pointed out, egypt has categorically refused to open the rafa bor border, except perhaps for american and canadian and other citizens that are dual nationals who are of course palestinians that are stuck in in the ghaza strip, we know that there are at least 140 palestinian families that. Are canadian citizens and the only way that they can get out is through the rough border, perhaps that might be achieved is egypt will probably allow that, but that corridor that egypt wants to open. With the help of the un and other humanitarian organizations is to get some food, medicine, etc. Into the gaza strip, but egypt certainly does not want 2. 3 million palestinians, nor do any of the other arab countries, but we can see the nefarious agenda of the americans and the israelis that are working hand in glove in order to achieve the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian People, and all credit to the Palestinian People and their leadership that they refused to be. Technically cleansed on on another once more and so they want to take a take a stand, they want to take a stand for their rights, for their fundamental rights, that is their land, not the land of the zin is thugs that have come from all over the world, from europe, from russia, from north america that have invaded somebody elses land, stolen their land and now they want ethnically cleanse them from the ghaza strip as well, so the palestinians are not going to go from there, they will take a stand, they will fight and they will. Resist their the aggressors and the occupiers, and in terms of the continuation of this war, is israel going to, i mean were looking at day 8 is going to continue with what its doing, or what what do you think is going to their minds when they, i mean what are they achieving, aside from uh killing palestinians really, im not too sure i follow the the the initial decision to go in and kill palestinian, not go in, but to bombard palestinians and accumulate palestinian lives other. Than revenge, is that what this is about . You see, israeli, the Israeli Society is deeply divided, this man netanyahu is facing certain illegal challenges within israel, hes tried to gut the judicial system, bad as it was, but he wants to save his own skin, and so he is, he is gone mad, he wants to show that he is tough that israel can assert its military might and cow down the Palestinian People. So that he can save his own thick skin, and that is basically what it is, i mean, they are committing war crimes, but they are committed war crimes all the time, so theyve done, theyve killed palestinians for decades, its not just, you know, they didnt start on october the 7th, lets be very clear, even before this illegitimate entity of israel was created or established on the land of the Palestinian People, zionist terrorist gangs were going around killing innocent palestinians. In what is today called israel, we are all familiar with the massacre that was perpetrated in diaria seen in 1948, 250 palestinian men, women and children were murdered, 75000 were ethnically cleansed from their land, perhaps a million, and and so this is what these zits are planning to do now, but for for netanyahu its a personal matter as well, because it is on his watch that hamas carried out this absolutely brilliant op. Nation and inflicted casualties on the zionis that they were that the zionist used to inflict on the palestinians for decades, so for once the palestinians were able to give dose of their own medicine to the zionists and that is what has shocked them and thats why they are acting as absolute beasts, they they have no regard for human life, they continue to perpetrate these war crimes and they think that they can get away with it, but i think now the circu
