Weve come here to express our feelings to save gaza. We stand with the muslims of gaza, and until theyre victorious, we will stand with them. If israel had complied with the un resolutions as it should have done and go without punishment before the International Community, then this would not have taken place. Im here as a palestinian to support the people from mid east, both for the people in israel and. Palestine, we are demonstrating here because there wont be any peace while israel keeps occupy a land that doesnt correspond to it. I think what the Palestinian Resistance did is totally valid and legitimate. Its their right to respond to the attacks of the israeli state after more than 75 years against the Palestinian People. Palestinians must have their rights and lands return to them. They must be compensated. All those who were killed in the past should be compensated according to islam. We demand an end to the nighttime attacks on palestine. Okay uh genea italy at the scenes that youre looking at right now, another campaign that has taken place in solidarity with the palestinians is popping up all around the world. This is uh another location. We just brought you number of countries that uh pro solidarity rallies with the solidarity with the palestinians were held and uh general italy is the one of the ones that uh were bringing to you. Uh what is happening in the ghaza strip in terms of israel bombing is nothing short but but but massacre, im sure the images speak for themselves uh sos has been issued by the shif hospital there saying that we cant take any more uh patients and uh basically the warning coming that thats going to turn not its not going to no longer be hospital but it will be a mass grave filled with dead palestinian bodies but such are the israeli crimes in the ghaza strip bringing out people like whom youre seeing there in genoa mi piaceere, secondo punto. Metodi di israele, come sta facendo hamas in questi giorni al netto delle bugie che ci raccontano i media, perche ci hanno raccontato che erano stati. Creati 40 bambini e questo non era vero, ma noi siamo convinti siamo convinte per rispondere a barbarie con barbarie. Sia un gravissimo errore e siamo convinti che qui adenta questi metodi palestine solidarity rally is being held there. Lets bring in richard falk, hes a former un special reporter on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory and he joins us from istanbul. Richard falk, welcome to the program, obviously with the title that you have and the familiarity that you have in terms of your expertise on the palestinian uh issue, we can see that uh this has been a failure on all fronts comes to the International Community to have not assisted right now whats is required urgently in terms of whats happening to the civilian population there in the ghaza strip uh which is nothing short of massacre uh what are your thoughts on what is happening right now there . Well the most uh obvious uh reaction is one of being horrified by this onslot against helpless and innocent civilians, there is no possible military, militarily legitimate justification for this kind of use of indiscriminate force, reinforced by a merciles siege, that denies the entrapped people, of gaza, fuel, food and electricity, the basic ingredients of living tolerable subsistence life, it is an unspeakable tragedy and a great atrocity from the perspective of international law, and it is a shameless display of the helplessness of the United Nations and of the International Community to come to the rescue of the Palestinian People in this sort of dire, tragic situation. When we talk, when you describe it as such, a dire tragic situation, it has been described that way, year and. Out and for the past decades practically, because obviously weve seen how um the Israeli Regime has violated palestinian rights in one form or another particularly in the past 17 years in the sense when it comes to uh the palestinians in the ghaza strip uh where where did things um how can i word this why is it that this is continued by by israel why is the palestinian cause not one thats been addressed in a way where theres a solution to have been reached what . Camp says, its because the us was there backing israel, whether its in the International Arena or otherwise when it comes to lets say the military aspect of it, how do you see it . Uh, well, i think thats certainly an essential aspect of it, this is a classic uh settler colonial reality, where the Indigenous People of palestine have been. Either displaced and dispossessed and made into refugees throughout the region or within socalled occupied palestine, and the zionist project is one which looks toward the total supremacy of the jewish state over the whole of the Promised Land of israel, which includes jerusalem and the west bank. Gaza has been a part of the occupied palestinian territory, but it doesnt figure in the zionist project as intrigal to its realization, but it has been a of opposition, it is a place of resistance, and hamas, more than any other organized Palestinian Resistance group has been prepared to pay the cost of resisting by violent means and arm struggle, this form of. Sustained and prolonged repression and abuse, and all liberation moves engage in violence in order to uh gain some kind of liberation, the struggle of against colonialism, exhibited this in a dramatic form, in vietnam, and indonesia, in algeria, many countries, and this ongoing struggle has been uh weiged with the geopolitical. Backing of powerful countries in europe and above all by the united states, and it has enjoyed a kind of strategic relationship to western economic and regional interests, so its broader than uh the the uh management of the palestinian. Uh population, its a matter of uh seeking to maintain hegemonic control over uh the Oil Rich Region of the world. All right, richard, thank you so much for that. Richard falk there, we ask you to stand by with us as we go and listen to watch this report uh and well come back to the uh discussion. Okay, good. Moving now to south korea where people have rallied and display of solidarity with palestinians in the ghaza strip. This is the report were talking about. Demonstrators there to have called on the Israeli Regime to end this brutality in the beside strip. Our correspondent frank smith from soul actually covered this. Supporters of the palestinians rallied in downtown soul to demand an end to the israeli bombing of gaza once. Pointed out that the rights of palestinians have been abused and ignored for decades. Despite the resolutions of the United Nations issued since the beginning of the blockage 20 years ago, israel persists in maintaining the gaza siege. The regime, despite being portrayed as the sole democracy in the middle east by western media, does not comply with the United Nationss decisions. South koreans say their governments prous position emboldens israels apart. Actions, they call it terrorism, the source of terrorism in the middle east is israel and its oppressive regime. Demonstrators marched through the streets of downtown soul and brought their voices to the israeli embassy. In contrast to the us support for israel, people around the world are calling for a shift in israeli behavior, and as the israeli response to the hamas military operation mounts, support for palestinians is. Increasingly expressed frank smith press. All right, lets bring in hamed shahrabi, hes a Research Director at the house of latin america, joins us here from tehran. Hamed shahabi, welcome to the program. We were looking at the massacre taking place in the gaza strip, were also looking at some activity around that, one in particular is the fact that you have the us to have sent this socalled carrier group. To what they say is to project power or to uh be deterrents in this, of which the turkish president has described it as its aiding and assisting in the massacre thats taking place, how do you view that . The facts are very important in this context, what you are talking about, what is most important is to look at the fan, what is this whole conflict on above, why there . The wall going on there, each position, each party held, and look at that, i would like to concentrate my talk on the situation which has resulted to distur, this is very important, because the way that the Corporate Media reflect this conflict is. Totally distorted is this information, this information lies propaganda, but if you look at the fact, let me concentrate on some. Data on some fac to see the situation of life of the people in qatar, i will put you some data from the reported by unicef at the United Nations, it regard to the life of the people which is last year, these are the some restriction on the movements of the. From the rest of the occupied palestinian territory and and world patient die while awaiting a response by the Israeli Government to their application for medical treatment outside and i think the note of the fact that such possibilities do not exist for medical treatment. To a large extent, then we continue, about half of the people are jobless, youth unemploy is 62 , 1. 3 million out of 2. Million palestinians in gaza, which is equal to 62 , suffer from lack of adequate food, 78 of price water is unfit for human consumption. Okay, these are some facts that i just quoted from report from unichef, but let me continue the same line, quoting some facts given by sarah, herself is the jewish, she has written a book under the title political, the political economy of v development, this is the title of her book. And in it to mention i read 90 to 90 of water is not table, if the fuel provided to by israel is cut, then the city would be facting drawn in solid, less than 20 of the required item for sanitation and Health Projects from israel due to contamination of water and stored the great number of people suffer from diarea infection, lack of great water has resolved of 70 of the newborn and tribe and 37 of the pregnant women also causing increase in 40 of the people are expressed from the critical point of you, which is the highest rate of disprision in the whole world, only hospital a hospital provides treatment monthly to take the presence to have attempted. People have no life, no future, this is just quoting what is written by tara, houses of 60 of the population have either been heavily damaged or completely destroyed, every day the people have to look at the room of their houses, in 2015 there were hundred thousand sc homeless in 70 of the household suffer from food and security, poverty is to an extent that many children have to quite school earn money to support their families, unemployment with the age of 20 to 24 is 70 , according to world bank block has caused 50 drop of gdp the code very soon, people have election only four to six hours a day, thank you very much, we appreciate that, thank you very much, thats hamid shaharabi, the Research Director the house of latin america, thank you so much for that live from vienna, another pro palestine solidarity rally being held there, this one is uh, is quite packed uh, they are a square i believe, if im not mistaken, not too sure, but its live from vienna as we speak. One of many, we brought to you package actually of uh a report i should say of different parts of the world that they had rallies which are more in the works, we understand that uh obviously people are watching the masaker thats taking place live from viena there. Many to have come out to show the support for the palestinian cause uh many of these people are familiar with it um im sure buse throughout the years we have seen how they have come out in droves but uh this time around is different they need to show their support for the palestinians because a different type of narrative is being uh laid out there by the western media by many respects uh we uh are privileged to have uh with us lets listen a little bit to whats happening in vienna before we turn to richard falk. Okay, that gives you a sense. Richard falk is the former un special reporter on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory, whose joins us from istanbul, rejoins us actually. Wir falk, flashback here, do you recall operations castled . Yeah. The uh former um un secretary general banky moon who was standing in the rubbles in the ghaza strip that was decimated at that point to degree and there was plomes of smoke that was uh rising behind him and he looked a bit disheveled because he was very shocked at what he had seen not only in terms of the death but also in terms of the destruction and he has said that we cannot have this happen again but those types of scene maybe not as severe except for the one thats happening now has happened again uh why why did that happened, why hasnt there been a solution that has come to at least even meet halfway palestinians, if even thats something that should be proposed here . Well, thats uh, part of the difficulty of opposing a geopolitical actor like the us that is determined to give. Israel a green light to uh exert as much violent repression as it chooses to do and supplies it with weapons and funding and is able to paralyze the Security Council in concert with the leading nato countries of france and the uk so have generally supported this onesided pro israeli policy, completely ignoring the legitimate rights of selfdetermination of the Palestinian People, they are become strangers and aliens and victims in their own country, its been established to be in apartake. State by the most respected International Human rights uh organizations as well as by the special rapporteurs of the un. Theres no doubt that this uh structure of repression and uh dehumanization and denial of rights has been allowed to go on for this long, and this latest phase of resistance is demonstration by the Palestinian People that they will not be forgotten, that their struggle is one that is continuing and is supported around the world by people of conscience, especially by people that dont have an direct. With this settler colonial propaganda or identity. Most of the pro israeli sentiments come from the white settler states of canada, the us, australia, new zealand, and the states closely allied to those states uh by in europe, uk, france, and germany, and so this is a conflict that has divided the International Community in a way that other morally uh, motivated struggle has
