Over 6500 palestinians have been killed and 18,00 injured so far. The head of the Hamas Media Office says this israel has bombed gaza with more than 12,00 tons of explosives. He says this is equivalent to the power of the nuclear bomb that was dropped on the japanese city of hiroshima. The regime strikes. Are coupled with the crippling siege of gaza. Israel has also barred any fuel transport into the strip. This has left hospitals increasingly unable to treat the injured due to the need for fuel to run power generators. Health institutions in the gaza strip depend very heavily on Electrical Generators to generate electricity and operate the necessary equipment for patients and injured people. Now there is a complete power out. Operate all their equipment with electricity, and if the fuel runs out, we will condemn the patients in the intensive care departments to inevitable death, the World Health Organization has warned without vital fuel and Additional Health supplies, thousands of vulnerable patients in gaza will be at risk, the who said that it is unable to distribute fuel and lifesaving aid to major hospitals in northern gaza. It added that six hospitals across gaza have already been shut down due to the lack of fuel. Meanwile the un agency for palestinian of refugees unarwa warned that it would be forced to stop working across the gaza strip unless there were urgent fuel deliveries to the territory. The leaders of the lebanes and Palestinian Resistance movements have held a meeting to discuss. The developments in the ghaza strip. According to the lebanese almanar tv, secretary general said hasanlah met with the hamas deputy haad sal and the islamic jahar chief z the three leaders evaluated the future course of action by the resistance front to achieve a real victory against israel. They also discussed ways to stop israeli bloodshed in the gaza strip and the west bank. The trio also talked about regional and global stances on gaza. They agree to improve coordination and cooperation in the face of israels brutalities against the palestinians. Hez has said that it is. Involved alongside the palestinan resistance a battle against israel, both and regime forces, however have kept to the rules of engagements. Our correspondent reports from South Lebanon on the situation there. A few kilometers from the occupied territories in southern lebanon, war looms once more. Has openly begun new wave of operations which is growing into a war of attrition, hitting specific Israeli Military targets all along the approximately 130 kilometer border. Behind me stands one of the israeli posts which have been targeted by Resistance Groups more than once since the beginning of the war on gaza. Hezbollah seems to have kept within the rules of engagement while also warning the Israeli Regime and the United States that any wrong move could potentially. Raised the stakes, prompting the Resistance Group to move to the next level. People have remained in the border town say they are bracing for new confrontation. We are steadfast, we never thought of taking refuge or leaving, and we are ready for war, we fear nothing. Because if you decide to go to war, we are ready, just give us a signal, if you lose one month. There will be a thousand more to replace him, thousands are ready to sacrifice their lives for this country. We are not afraid, we will see victory and god wielling soon we will be in gaza. Israels shelling of bordering towns is also intensified. Early morning strikes are the usual, Muhammad Barakat looks around his destroyed house, we asked him if he was looking for something, he said humorously that hes looking for the keys to the house. He tells us, had his family been gathering then, there would have been a massacre. We are with the resistance at times of war and peace, and we will always be with the resistance. This is very small sacrifice. Is very wise and we trust him. He knows what hes doing. Our people have gotten used to the barbaric atrocities of the israelis and we believe that all this destruction and killing has not stopped the people from continuous resistance and being. Fast in their land, the enemy which targets hospitals does not respect any rules, it is only struggle and strength that can stop them, the separation wall which israel has built around the occupied territories has not stopped hezbollah or other Resistance Groups like hamas and Islamic Jihad in lebanon from launching operations. The current state of tit fort strikes in the limited battle zone could become the new status quo for weeks, if not months.

Mc napi here, cofounder of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign joins us from edinburgh. We also have lara, modarelli, journalist and broadcaster who joins us from barcelona. Welcome to you both, mcnapier. First start with you, i think we have uh reached the unfortunate uh um stage where this can clearly be now called a genocide thats taking place in the ghaza strip. I cant think of any other words to describe what is happening in terms of the death doll and more so uh unfortunately how the shocking figure stands uh around the 70 mark when it comes to women and children and the world is watching this happen um especially the ones who can prevent this from happening. What are your thoughts on uh what were . This thing right now, that its undoubtedly genocide, anyone who denies that its genocide doesnt know what genocide is, this is the deliberate attempt by the israelis to to disappear the palestinian people. Now for very long time israel has been committing incremental genocide against the palestinians, the the their ambition is a palestine with no palestinians and in order to achieve that the crime against gaza of course has been going on for very long time, organized massacres, lining palestinians up, picking out the young men and boys and executing them in front of their families in previous episodes, when when israel has invaded uh gaza, it is a continuous catalogue of crime, and its very, very inventive and very full spectrum attempts to inflict pain and suffering, now. Poisoning the water, i dont mean that they add poison to the water, but they allow the water to deteriorate deliberately in order that it should become undrinkable, so it is kind of poisoning, that has been going on for many, many years, so now today we see a terrible cruelty, the deliberate infliction of serious suffering and and death upon this two million palestinians in one of the most crowded places on earth. I mean your correspondent said that the the the totality the explosive dropped on on the people there is equivalent to hiroshima, that puts it into perspective, but we know now that doctors who have heroically struggled for decades to deliver health to the to the gaza people in palestine, are now operating on people doing amputations with no anesthetic, because israel is deliberately causing maximum pain, this is genocide, and you know. There are some people in in european politics who deny the the the nazi holocaust, usually they want to repeat it, and the israelis who deny this genocide, its because they want to continue it, its um, it is barbaric in the extreme, and i would only make two points to you to to your viewers sir, zionism inevitably means war, and in fact the original founders of zionism sold the project to britain on the basis that they would. Become a kind of crusader state in the region, that they would be, in the words of the founder herzel, an outpost of european civilization in a sea of hostile arabs, and and that was how it was seen from the very beginning, because its inevitable in this kind of project of disposition that you incur the wrath of your victims and therefore you have to rely on the imperial power, britain and then of course america, so this is built into the system and the the the terrible crimes against the palestinians today is because over decades the west, britain, you britain, europe, the usa, have normalized the crimes that we could see on our tv screens, so for example when i when i hear your correspondent say that palestinians were killed in the west bank and and the soldiers would not allow the ambulances the ambulance to approach in order to help the the injured person, this has been normal now for. Decade and the west has accepted it, so the crime has increased, its becoming more intense, and it could not have happened without a green light from washington, london, and and brussels, so yes, its genocide, no one can deny this who is either honest or uh, no honest person could deny this. All right, lets bring in iara modarelli, journalist and podcaster from barcelona who joins us, welcome to the program, um, your country has seen its officials actually um, show their support for the palestinians, to say the least, and as a result of that, there has been now divisions within. Um spanish or between spanish officials and then with israel on this issue, and this is somewhat now a recurrence in other countries. Perhaps you can tell us about the way that uh that has um this war has impacted uh the opinion when it comes to and the division as a result when it comes to the support for palestine, yet israel uses that as being anti israeli, and that and that that is wrong, which is uh in a sense how they want to show israel to be the victim and not the palestinians . Yeah, absolutely. I think this obviously has to do with with linguistic framing, theres a very dangerous narrative right now, that has obviously been constructed over very long time in the Mainstream Media, and um, you know, outlets in the west tend to use very particular linguistic methods that tend to reduce islam to simplistic terms, so in other words, muslims are consistently portrayed as aggressive as you know the cause for any social and political problems and this lack of empathy uh particularly now for palestinian lives um is because of this terminology that has been used to to describe palestinians i mean we saw israeli officials just few days ago described palestinians as human animals right and and with this language uh readers tend to then um make these uh these assumptions that lead to uh very often oversimplifying this issue and in this case particularly as the speaker before was saying uh leaving out everything that had happened uh to lead to october 7th this year so um Mainstream Media tends to look at october 7th as an isolated attack but were not looking at the 75 years before of of brutality of oppression of slaughter. Uh, they refuse to mention the dehumanizing conditions that led to october 7th, like you know the illegal settlements, the stolen lands, the poison water, as the previous speaker very much mentioned, the use of white phosphorus, which is a crime under international law, and um, they dont mention how theyve essentially imprisoned all people in gaza in this sort of concentration camp, and im very selective with the wording i use here, because you know we have to remember that prisoners have more rights than people in gaza have, so this is worse than an open air prison, um, and and aside from that right, the they also dont mention uh previous attempts to reach any peaceful resolutions on both sides, or you know how hamas was essentially funded and radicalized by israel, so there is lot of um linguistic kind of narrative being framed here in a way that of course suits the western agenda, and id love to unpack a little bit of this language with you, um, because you know we look at the the headlines saying, this is an israel hamas war, well this is not a war between israel, hamas, this is a slaughter and genocide that israel is committing on all palestinians by carpet bombing them, nonstop, right, and and we see another kind of linguistic. And getting used where we see israel, israelis get killed, but palestinians die, well this removes any kind of agency and accountability from the perpetrayer, as if to say you know palestinians just fall over and die, thats not what happened, theyre strategically being targeted and killed, and and were not bringing up uh these lives equal manner. Another kind of uh framing that has been used lot is uh when we talk about israelis as hostages, while palestinians are effectively in administrative detention, there are thousands and thousands of palestinians that are being held in israel, many of them children on absolutely no charges, theyve committed no crimes and theyre convicted and held indefinitely, um, so this makes them a hostage, but theyre called, you know, we refer to that as administrative detention, um, and then of course the last one, human animals, which of course homogenizes all of islam, its a very dangerous way to frame um this this narrative, we we have to start challenging the. Language and the stereotypes and the prejudices uh that and we have to absolutely Start Holding journalists and media outles to higher standards. To me this whole conflict has been completely recklessly covered by journalists and its effects have led to this genocide um and now its too late. Like make a comparison here and im wondering what you think about it mcnap here when it comes to uh the military aid given to israel the. Lack of uh humanitarian aid for the gaza strip uh just few days back where 45 to 50 trucks of military aid was given to israel uh at that point it was said it was around 1,00 tons which if you add to the 4,00 tons its about five but were understanding this 12ous tons that have been dropped on gaza. Nevertheless uh when you uh take a look at the speedy um act of delivering that aid to israel the slow pace of any humanitarian aid going into the gaza strip which has been now a couple occasions uh what does that say about where the priorities are by the west in particular the us and maybe its allies, and then um the lack of it going into the gaza strip humanitarianwise in terms of uh the basics that are needed there, especially lifesaving medical um supplies, um, i mean its its kind of put puts things into perspective, doesnt it . I mean, and several years ago um hamas taught us a very good because when they won the election the last elections in palestine by a landslide in gaza and in the west bank, britain punished them, the us punished them, democracy is not for palestinians, when they utilize the tools of democracy, they are punished when they reach a conclusion which is not acceptable to washington, the barb. And cruelty that has followed against the palestinians is as disgusting as anything in human history. It is, it is a rule that israel can murder and kill as widely as it wants. During the great march of return, israel killed several hundred palestinians, who knows their names, but they deliberately crippled, mamed tens of thousands, using israeli snipers and during that. Time one sniper boasted on the israeli media that he had mamed and crippled 43 men in one shift and he shattered 43 knees. This is bestial, this is um industrial killing of of people who are considered to be subhuman, and it has been going on for very very long time, aided and abetted by the barbaric governments in washington and london. i have to use my words as carefully as your other correspondent, because over the last, since 7th of october, we have seen horror in gaza, but we have also gazed into the into the reality of our own government, and we have seen what that government is capable of. I mean in scotland there was an opinion poll by the way, published today which showed 73 of scottish people want immediate ceasefire by israel, dont support the israeli position. And 11 who do, mean theres always some damaged people in every society. Despite the the the tsunami of propaganda, its not working, people can see whats going on and they can see that israel is a barbaric regime supported by our own bestial regimes, can i just add one point, people are beginning to see, im old enough to remember the attica uprising in america when everybody was told that the prisoners. Had slaughtered the guards and that went out round the world and then we discovered later it was the rescueers apparently who slaughtered the guards and the hostages, were beginning to get reports now by survivors of the hamas attack that israel went into the to this to the to the offensive against hamas, slaughtering everything in their path, using tank shells against buildings where hostages and hamas fighters were hold up and actually spraying the whole area. With machine gun fire and rifle fire, that many many of the israelis were killed by israeli soldiers, and this is only surprising to people who dont know about the hannibal directive, which is openly discussed in in in by the Israeli Military, when people are captured by the Palestinian Resistance, they they are, they prefer that they die, and in the process kill a large number of of of of enemies at the same time, so the narrative thats being spread, one is very substantially false, and i think over time this will become quite clear, but its been put out at the moment, in order to to to to prepare Public Opinion uh for for for you know for ongoing massacre, but even thats not working, and Public Opinion is not giving a mandate to our governments. We here, we had thousands of tens of thousands of people on the streets over the last two weekends, but we now have to intensify our our solidarity, we have to make our government afraid of us in order to peel them away, support for the israeli genocide, and i think thats actually possible. Yeah, im wondering if you knew about the. The hannibal directive that our guests there talks about by definition what im reading here uh it allows uh the its supposed to be Top Secret Military order but its not that top secret. It allows the Israeli Military to kill Israeli Citizens to prevent them from being taken captive. This is something that uh is being associated in terms of the order itself with uh some of the uh ones that were killed on october the 7th by the Israeli Military. More and more sources are coming out with that, but in general does allow the Israeli Military to actually kill it well as it sees even if it means Israeli Citizens and it is also uh somewhat going to be applied to uh the captives that uh are now that hamas has whether israel is going to uh use this as means to kill Israeli Citizens or not uh in the Bigger Picture not care about the captives as much which is said that israel may not be as interested uh in that even though theres some is even military officials within the number of captives held, but the mere fact that this is uh not that known and how israel uses that, whats your reaction to it . I mean, i think its its uh crazy, weve we have this shoot to kill orden now, right . Um, its something that um, i was made aware of actually just the other day, we were actually talking to a friend of hours uh in the west bank, when these protests occurred just a couple of days ago, and um it was absolutely horrendous um how and and i really want to make point of this how the uh the propaganda played out versus what actually happened so we had our friend uh kind of broadcast live to us what was happening in the west bank that same day and the the violence that was occurring and uh we saw uh him um talk to a journalist uh from a Mainstream Media outlet and tell us openly that they were not allowed to talk to us uh and and when asking them why were they not allowed to tell us what was really happening on the ground they had no response and they stayed silence and you know we obviously deduced from that of course these journalists are not allowed to tell us whats really happening these shoot to kill orders are absolutely ridiculous and uh we tragically heard how um two uh teenagers just the other day uh were killed um 10 feet away from our friend uh for throwing brocks and we we heard these journalists uh report this to us live as well now two hours later or three hours later uh cnn uh brought out um two two minute long uh clip of uh of them cutting off very of course very intentionally the moment in which this happened and portraying um you know palestinians uh outraged at cnn for supporting genocide, so i think again um the reason why this happens is effectively propaganda, this propaganda pushed by the mainstream uh leads people to then um believe that all palestinians are animals and they need to be exterminated and shot and it leads to this terrific violence against any and every palestinian child, woman, civilian, um, and and this this shoot to kill order is is extremely, extremely dangerous, we saw uh, the the minister of uh of security the other day, hand out, um, i think it was yesterday, hand out uh weapons uh to to average civilians, um, so of course, this, this, this is all led by a Propaganda Campaign that was started. With the story about these 40 beheaded babies, um, you know, that story itself garnered over 40 million reactions and likes, if i remember well, and um, of course it was shared across the entire globe, and and there was no verification for this information, um, but uh, this this this equivalence was drawn between her mass and isis, this dangerous equivalence was drawn
