To invite uh charles simmens, amerites professor of human rights uh from merry college, good to have you with us, professor, and uh, this is not a very pleasant time for palestinians, as you know, they are going through one of the worst, human catastrophes, especially those in gaza. Who do you uh, hold responsible for whats going on uh, regarding palestinians, especially those in gaza. Well thank you for inviting me uh and i want to say i my express my condolences for all the the victims of these wars, whoever they are, civilians, lets hold them in prayer, um, im i cant say, i cant really speak on the military uh aspect of the war, but i do see, i just received a notice that the chinese have just sent a six warships to. Region so that that will have some impact on the military thinking. Now but i must say that and and i have some personal experience in with the Palestinian Peoples. I was there back in 1970, when the plo had conference in jordan, thats been in lebanon and jordan, syria, turkey and then occupied palestine and then i went back doing the persian gulf war, and so i went. Its the long history of the slaughter and the slow genocide against the Palestinian Peoples. Now i recognize the the horrible conditions that the israeli. People have suffered over the years uh mainly at the hands of the europeans, the genocide um attempt and the the jews, is a horrible, horrible history, but the the arab people did not cause that problem, and unfortunately they have been the victims of this uh attempt to find homeland for the the jewish people, now theres something that the world needs to know about the thinking in the United States, many of the leaders here, regardless the political party, still have the belief that the white settler government, the white settler regimes in in western europe, former colonies, colonial countries, the white settler regime here in north america, which slaughtered the native american peoples and stole the land and stole the peoples of. Brought us here to work for centuries for nothing and slave, so they believe that thats thats a they think that thats okay, and the western european governments apparently believe its okay, theyre supporting the apparatite government, but we have to take a position of justice and calling for peace, and we we are calling for peace, im affiliated with another organizations here um that are calling for peace but with justice. And uh justice for the palestinians uh has not been their policy the policy there and so we have to, i dont know if i if ive been cut off, but we have to recognize the human rights of the Palestinian Peoples. Okay, charles, matter of recognizing the human rights of palestinian is something and then also holding uh those criminals perpetrating all these crimes against. Palestinians is Something Else cuz how could you uh, you can hold tel aviv to account uh situation where they stick to nothing, no international law, norms, conventions. Well, no, and us, us policy, domestic and Foreign Policy is filled with racism still, and people think that thats over, but we still have very racist. Policy and we ignore United Nations resolution 242 that was made in 1967 calling for the israelis to to move back off the the land of belong to the palestinians and we have never recognized of the various United Nations calling for peace throughout for for decades i mean going back uh i was there in 1970 mean same the same problem and unless the the world deals with the the palestinians issue and giving them full human rights, giving them their land, were not going to resolve this problem, it cant be resolved militarily, we just militarily is going to expand the war, could end up in world war 3, um, but its not, but it it wont go back to the old days, uh, the people of the middle east, the peoples of north africa, the people the global south are not willing to accept the injustices, the colonialism, the neocolonialism. All the hate and racism and indignities of the past, those days are over, and professor, what about the ramifications the this war, mean and especially if it uh kind of spills over to other parts of the region and gets some other countries involved, thats thats definitely thats a possibility, um, certainly the peoples of the muslim world, the people of the global south. All the people who have been colonized and mistreated over the past decade, centuries, um, as i said, that is going to spill over, even though the governments, the governments are much more conservative in this uh situation than many of the people, the peoples out in the street protesting and demanding chains, the governments are pretty reluctant, but theyre going to be forced to take sides and to stand with the people for with the palestinians for justice, um, unfortunate that this uh that israel was was put into that situation in 1947 and 48 um, but if there had been an intent in the first place to treat everybody with dignity and and fairness and human rights, this could have been avoided back then, but it still has to be addressed, its going to spill over into syria, leban and jordan, i mean the people in jordan alone, 70 of the population in jordan, and they are this hurts them and then you got populations all over the world, so this has the potential to spread, in terms of violence and hate, and its already spreading, yesterday, i think right here in detroit, we have the one of the largest populations of palestinians outside of palestine living in detroit, metro detroit, and there was a jewish rabbi was was stabbed, well you got a lot of hatred thats going to spread because the leadership in the west, particularly are promoting, still promoting colonialism, now we dont mention in the media the fact that theres jewish organizations for peace, there jewish voices for peace, theres the blacks, black lions of peace, theres National Lawyers guill, National Conference of black lawyers, theres faith organization, people all over the world are calling for peace with justice for for the people. For everybody, we cant have favoritism for these people of israel and no human rights for everybody else, thats not going to work, they could get away with that in the past cuuse they had the technology, they had the weapons, but everybodys got the technology now, everybody has got the weapons, so so we cant continue the injustices of the past, right, and speaking of spillover of this war in the region and spreading it, wouldnt the. Us, because us bases and assets are already being hit, thats like what resistance fighters did, inl asset bases ready, the largest base us has in iraq, it was hit, and more such bases could be hit, and iran has also time and again warned the us against supporting the Israeli Regime, because there is even more funding, a bigger military package for israel, to aircraft carriers. Already in the mediterranean from the us and also europe they were already facing uh this you know uh plathor of economic vows uk cost in crisis all those are strike action you know elsewhere in Europe Energy prices and all that i mean uh how much longer would would the west opt for actually standing uh by the israel side and uh not actually going to reach out to the palestinians and simply ignoring their rights . We cant predict how long this will last, but definitely as you as you mentioned the Economic Situation and the and the north and the south today is horrible, mean weve got in the United States, weve got unknown numbers of people sleeping in the streets, home folks everywhere, weve got um high unemployment and then the people who are unemployment they dont have benefits, some of the people who are actually homeless have jobs, some of them, but they cant afford to pay the rent. All this is getting worse in the United States, weve got terrible environmental problems and uh so uh certainly all the people who are have weapons are going to be using them if they get an opportunity and especially as the hate is being uh fanned to increase the conflicts um the media in the west is sort of. As being a parent of whatever the department says, whatever the pentagon says, they just repeat that and there so the people in the United States in particular have practically no information about whats going on except the propaganda coming out of the state department and the uh the war machine uh so that can go i mean i mean i dont how long it can go on too long its already too long and the people of the world uh demand we need peace and in order to have developed we cant move forward and and of course we also have this Climate Change so we we have plenty of threatening situations to deal with top of this uh injustices
