Now let me invite uh shabir resvy, hes a political analyst in london, good to have you with us, shabir so youre. Informed about whats been going on and today pretty maybe the Bloodiest Day every every day in the past couple of days we called it a bloody day we had 400 something people dead two days ago and then the day before yesterday we had 500 plus today 700 plus 704 people and again unfortunately mostly women and uh kids in gaza hello um good evening thank you very. Very much for the invitation, firstly, as usual when i Start Talking on this matter with you, condolences to all the marters in gaza, the west bank and in lebnon. At this moment, but particularly gaza, my sort of condolences to the families of the marters, plus also, may the almighty grant comfort and patience to all those who have been, the situation is grim, i think the word grim doesnt actually describe it properly, its a brutal barbaric bombardment that is taking place, and this is. Happening in real time, the world can see very clearly what the new world order means, what is rule based order . Rule based order is really something that america, you know, one keeps on talking about that israel, the zionist regime is doing this, but the reality is that over the last 16, 17 days since uh hamas, people talk about is has a right to defend, but doesnt palestine have a right to defend itself, absolutely, under all kinds of International Law, rules and regulations, the occupied people have a intrinsic right to defend themselves, so the resistance in palestine is resisting a draconian regime, a regime that is plushersty, a regime which is acting like. At this moment and its not only at this moment, it has done continuously since the uh sort of advent of the zionist regime in 1948, and you now when one says that you know civilians are dying on both sides, but the reality is that civilians have been targeted continuously over the last 75 years, there was nakbah, there was you know killings in in in west bank since the beginning of this year as you all well know and all the viewers know so the what has really changed dramatically is that um our government here in uk, the washington, paris, germany, even the dutch pathetic country, dutch, holland, their Prime Minister is visiting israel also in support, so what really that shows . Is that this particular child which was born out of wedlock, illegitimate regime installed in tel aviv is really on his last through, thats why all the sort of are visiting and comforting the israelis leadership at this moment that we are on their side, but really i think theyre on the wrong side of history, sorry for jumping in shabir, we have just received this new. That could be pretty interesting for you too, is really official broadcaster can news saying that it was, im quoting a mistake to allow released hostage, liftshits to make live statements to the media, and this after liv said that she and other detainees had been treated well by hamas and this is while the western media and also officials in the west, theyre trying to demonize hamas and spreading all that you know garbage. Social media about them, your take on that, please, well look, its very clear that you know the israeli Propaganda Machine always is saying that hamas is equal isis, but the reality is that the zionist regime does not represent judaism, judaism, and youve been on marches in london over the last two weekends and we see so many jews joining the demonstrations to protest against the israeli. Zionist regime, you saw in Congress Just few days ago uh the jews in israel, in in usa, coming out in support of palestine, so what that this really is showing is that like isis, daesh, bobek haram or any of these groups do not represent islam, similarly zionism does not represent judaism, only youve been sort of clips on social media that the the jews, the the real jews are actually being beaten up by the Israeli Police now for voicing their opposition to the zionist regime which has promoted this lie that they work for the jews, but effectively what is happening very clearly is that these individuals who were under the custody of the resistance in gaza, they are actually speaking the truth and very clearly debunking the lie of not only the the the zionist regime, but they accomplishes in. The legacy media, whether its a cnn, bbc, uh, france 24, or any other media, which has continuously tried to portray the resistance as something which is equivalent to isis, but what the resistance people have done very clearly shows that they are actually following the rules of islam in when theyre engaging war, they are looking after the people. Who are in their custody in a most humanitarian way, and of course its very clear that uh, the the the regime in in in tel aviv and their patrons in the west will not show these clips on mainstream media, because it will show very clearly and you know without any sort of doubt that this particular group of resistance fighters have. Uh whatever the rules the United Nations may have or humanitarian bodies, but the islamic rules of uh engaging in war is not to sort of you, kill uh old women, children, old people, and the resistance is following the rules that were laid down by islamic rules of engagement in war, which are really lot more superior to any of the. Rules that have been sort of over the last decades have been sort of inshrined in law and written, but really no one has followed as weve seen very clearly what usa has done in in iraq, in syria, speaking of iraq, shabir, we have this piece of news here, according to iraqi sources, assad base of us force the largest us base in Anbar Province if i remember all right, this has come under another attack, maybe this is the. Fourth or fifth time that theyre using drones and another weaponry to attack this large us base and they are saying that this is only a warning but it may not continue to be like that they may okay we have also some other piece of news regarding hezballah is really sources of course say that the sirens have been sounded in southern Golan Heights a number of rockets uh have hit uh saran goland, so this means that its not only the hamas and resistance f Islamic Jihad fighters in gaza, we have hezballah in lebanon, we have Iraqi Resistance forces also opening new fronts, and do you envisage some more new friends to open up if this violence against people in Gaza Continue . Well look, its very clear that the uh muslim public and also the nonmuslim public who are conscientious and have beating heart in their chest, they can feel the pain and the brutality that is being inflicted on the people in gaza, so of course there is no doubt at all the illegitimate bases that usa has in iraq, and also lets not forget uh, usa has been stealing oil uh from from parts of syria for the last. 10 years, so all these are very legitimate targets and clearly of course the golden heights, which is another part of the territory which has been occupied by israel for the last 40, 50 years, so that again is legitimate target for the resistance forces. What youve got to remember is that the resistance axes, which is not just you know Islamic Jihad or hamas or pflp in gaza, but there are multiple facets to this access of resistance, and the axis of resistance has very clear agenda is to liberate the occupied territories uh which are between the river and the sea so that the palestinians can be free, and without doubt, that the resolution of that slogan, i think is becoming very clear. And i think in due course, quite rapidly the world may see separate a different kind of equation in west asia, and shabir given the circumstances, you see we have global outrage in different parts of the world and islamic countries, western countries inside the us itself, in europe, we have this outrage and outpooring of sentiments for palestinians and against the israeli regime, we have International Bodies, the un. And this is something that maybe for the first time uh we hear this un chief saying that this palestinian rage has not stemed out of nothing, its not from vacuum, its more than. Its years of lets say living under occupation, the rights are ignored, the rights have been trumpled upon, homes destroyed and all that, and this is interesting to hear e1 chief say that, so given this popular outrage uh thats uh actually manifested in the form of uh rallis and support of palestine and in condemnation the israely regime and all these uh, you know, human rights organization, International Bodies and activists pushing, for an end to this, could we be hopefully expecting an end to this open hostility and genocide on the part of these rudies . Well look, whether the calm takes place uh today tomorrow, in the next week, the reality is that what is happening is that it will you sort of come up again in the next year, next few months, because we have seen very clearly. Since hamas was elected democratically and has been sort of managing the gaza strip for the last 17 odd years is that there has been continuous wars on that particular piece of land and the people so the israeli the zianist regime in tal aviv will continue under one pretext or another to attack the people in gaza thats on one side secondly they have. Continues the brutality in the west bank, whether its in bethlehem, in jenene, in jericho, you name it, cities and towns in the west bank has been experiencing blood bath since the beginning of this year, i understand from the figures latest that there have been more killings this year in the west bank than in the previous years and the year is not over yet, so the reality of the situation is that the zianist regime. Is a regime, its a colonial regime, as everyone has pointed out, its an imperial project which was enacted by you, the government here in london way back in 1917, on the back of that israel came into existence in 1948, so really as i said in my opening comment, its an illegitimate regime which has been installed in west asia. By the sort of British Imperial power at that time, and that has been sort of now taken over by the usa, to give its full support, until until the uh the the ruling elite in the collective west realizes that they are losing this battle, and the economic drain that is going to have an impact in the west, and and and the public also in the streets of. London, of course in france, theres a law against taking out demonstration in support the palestinians, but nonetheless, people have been coming out in germany, all over the place, whether australia, south america, and the other thing that is also fascinating is that uh, you know, some of the muslim countries still have diplomatic relations with israel, while you sort of really governments in venezuela, in in colombia have withdrawn the ambassador. And also one of this spanish minister has quite categorically said that spain must also withdraw its ambassador is unfortunately were out of time thank you so much we can discuss this for hours i know uh but we have to stop there thank you so much for your contribution shabir political analyst in london in five minutes ill be back with the news in brief and then the spotlight.
