Armed uprising of the Palestinian People against the zionist entity, which has repeatedly and flagrantly spurned every single peaceful attempt to secure justice for palestine. First up is latifa abu with a special report about this audacious military offensive by palestinian Freedom Fighters that began in the early hours of saturday morning on october the 7th. As fragile as a spiders were the zionist entity is shaking with fear and Early Morning shock, of Palestinian Resistance factions from gazza launched an unprecedented threeponged attack on the entity. First, armed fighters sailed over the israeli fence to ghazza using hand gliders. Simultaneously, 5,000 rockets were launched into the zionist entity from the open air prison of ghazza, disabling that much vaunched iron dome system. At the same time, palestinians broke down the fence, which fighters had sailed over using. What ensued was the homecoming of at least 1, from the resistance factions into the fragile of zionist entity. Military bases were seized by the resistance and israels marker tanks were captured and taken back to gazza. Settlements like stearth, whose zionist guests had previously watched from hilltops while gazza was bombed were seized by the resistance. Over 100 settlers have been taken as prisoners of war by the resistance. The vast majority are members of the occupation forces. An area of occupied palestine larger than the gazza strip was taken and held by the resistance factions who reached within only 10 kilometers of the west bank city of al khalif, known to settlers as hebron. It is documented that resistance factions were able to fashion weapons from unexploded munitions dropped on them by the israelis, but did weapons from nato escapades in afghanistan. And ukraine really end up in gazza, time will tell. The fear of South Lebanon is palpable among the satterers, so much so that an Israeli Occupation unit opened fire on an approaching truck close to lebanon. They discovered that the vehicle carried seven israeli fighters, all had been killed by the ziners friendly fire. Overall, in a space of 48 hours, at least 700 settlers were killed. The vast majority were part of the occupation forces. To put the figure into perspective, in proportion to the size of the population of the colony, that is the equivalent of over 20,000 people in the United States. In the midst of it all, Russian Hacker Group kill net took down the site of the Israeli Regime administration, further spreading panic and fear. Nearly all major stocks in israel are in the red with the benchmark index recording the biggest loss for ever year. Poland and bulgaria have sent military planes to evacuate their citizens and bring. Back home to europe. As always, were joined by our residence expert david miller, davids an academic and a former professor at bristol university, and is now a nonresident Senior Research fellow at the center for islam and Global Affairs at istanbul zaium university. Hes also a codirector of the lobbying watch of dog spinwatch and hes a leading british scholarly critic of israel. Our guest today is samy alariyan who is a Public Affairs professor and a longstanding political activist whose roots are in palestine and samy. Has vigorously campaigned for palestinian liberation for many years and he was blacklisted in the United States because of his political views and he joins us today via skype from istanbul. Welcome to the show. Samy, perhaps we could start with you, are we witnessing the death spasms of the zionist idea . Do you think . Well, we have to go back to the origins of of zionism. Zionism was the Political Movement of jewish leates at the end of the 19th century, and it was response to europes antisemitism that existed at the time, particularly in russia, the programs and continued to what the experts would call of the jewish question and the. Try to answer that by basically creating an exclusivist sitler colonial racist state that has been trying for over a century to approat the native people of palestine from from their native land and try to replace them with jews around the world. This is what zionism is about and i think it has failed but it continues to be strong in terms of the state because of the support it has been receiving from mainly western governments particular. The United States, but i think now its its becoming very clear that that kind of response would not be accepted in the 21st century, particularly with the steadfastness the palestinians and the resistance to this racist exclusivist movement and entity. No, indeed. I mean david, did you think israel was caught completely unawares by this operation . It does seem so, i mean theres been some reporting hasnt there that the Egyptian Intelligence Services said something was going to happen, but they were ignored, so i mean, ive seen the various other theories, lets not title them conspiracy these that have said that this is false flag, that the the the science let it happen, let all these hundreds of people be killed or they thought that maybe a lesser number, but no, its not, its clear that thats not whats happened, whats happened clearly has been a an operation planned for many many months in gaza, and with other resistance factions across the territories uh, and its its taken them entirely by surprise, but also more importantly, its inflicted an extremely significant military intelligence and psychological defeat on this is, they didnt think that this could ever happen to them, and the fact that they have had to evacuate people, thousands and thousands of people from all the settlements around gaza, and indeed theyre talking about evacuating all the settlements in near the northern border, should hezbollah enter the conflict much more significantly than they have so far. So were seeing defeat for zionism and a crisis for them really because theyre theyre theyre facing a real difficulty now the possibility of the end of the scienist entity indeed and people cuewing up at the airport werent they to to actually leave and be evacuated yes indeed some some prominent figures actually in the z entity as well as i understand it but david i wonder if you could say a word or two as well about the the conditions that people in gaza have been living in over the over the years well people know the phrase dont they this is an open a prison and and of course its been an attempt by the zionis in the last week or so 10 days to say oh no its not occupied look we we we left ghaza in 2005 this is not an occupation but of course its entirely surrounded its its surveil 24 hours a day and you that underlines the scale of the achievement that that they that resistance could undermine all of that but this is a an open air prison and theyve and theyve even in the last few days intensify the sige, no water, no electricity, nothing is going in or out, theyve even closed rafa cross crossing into egypt despite saying to people in gaza, you must leave, the raf of crossing is open, its not anymore, and theyre talking about bombing that as well, so this is an open prison, has been for for many years, most of the water in gaza is not drinkable, there are shortages of shortages of everything, including medicines, the food problems, its been bombed so many times. Is that theres so much rubble there that theyve had to actually start to use the rubble in ingenious ways to build new buildings, so its its appalling, its the worst place in the world uh under constant military supervision and yes occupation by the israelis, yes i mean you say that obviously its well known that its its an open air prison and yet the Corporate Media if you actually read the Corporate Media or listen to the broadcast channels and the Corporate Media that they dont really talk about it in those terms do they well thankfully depend on the Corporate Media for from of course many people still do yes thats true although of course many many mores in the last 20 years have turned off from that yes the Corporate Media prev presents a systematically distorted discued view and version of what although in the question on the question of occupation the the designers have been complaining in the last little while about cbc the canadian broadcasters uh saying that journalists should not use the word should use the word occupation because it still is occupation and and so thats even the Mainstream Media was far to to to to what should we call it to kind of fantasy land as designers want them to . No, indeed, indeed, indeed, but sami, i mean in what way would you say, is this war different from previous wars on gaza . Its quite different. I mean, if you look at the previous four five wars starting from 2008, 2009, all of them were initiated by the zinist state, this time it was different, it was surprising, it was the uh, youre describing as an open air prison, it was basically a prison break where the palestinians themselves took the initiative and attacked and always you have that benefit the surprise and therefore what happened with insud after that was huge success huge victory for the resistance, they were able to actually dismantle this myth of the invisability of the israeli army, that this is not a invincible army, but in fact its an army that was caught flatfooted and they were shown by few fighters, mean these fighters were basically not a regular army, these are mostly volunteers, palestinian resistors, but theyre determined and and they they have the will to fight until they gain the. Freedom and independence and liberation and weve seen in the in the first 60 hours how they were going attacking the military bases, the settlers, the settlements, they were bringing back all kinds of prisoners of war in order to force the exchange and free their comrades in prisons. Yeah, mean david, it said that was 11 us citizens were killed in the in the operation, mean what do you think explains so many foreign nationals being present in . Palestine and and its been a british uh person being confirmed now being killed um uh over the weekend, well what explains this of course is something quite different to the explanation about civilians uh or american citizens or british citizens even being killed in ukraine because they are everybody understands they are mercenaries but here these people are either settlers or theyre actually involved directly in in being enrolled in whats called the Israel Defense forces the israel uh occupation forces, like the the the british guy, for example, 19 or 20 years old, was actually in the idf, yes, now this this is about british citizens as foreign fighters, we call these people foreign fighters if they were in syria or somewhere else, but we dont call them foreign fighters in this case, of course when those people who regularly go from britain or from the us to join the oppressive forces of of israel come back, theyre not interrogated as being terrorists, theyre not interrogated and asked for. Why theyve got involved in armed violence and killing of civilians and actually you know in in the structural uh uh violations of International Law which israel day by day is committing and so theres a real question here about how we actually change the way in which our Society Works so that people from the uk are not allowed to go to fight for uh for israel no indeed i mean the shadow uh foreign secretary david lammy was saying our thoughts are with the british citizen who was. Who was killed, but surely the question should be, why are british citizen serving in the uh Israeli Occupation forces, but well just pause there for moment uh, because weve got another report now, looking at the strategic implications for the United States and israel, as a result of the military operation by the Palestinian Resistance factions, as the Palestinian Resistance factions prepared for their operation early on saturday morning, they must have known they were about to embark on what will surely. Be seen as the most Historic Mission of any Palestinian Resistance fighters. They broke out of the openear prison of gaza for the First Time Since gaza was occupied in 1967. Of course the zionist regime has answered the challenge with a bloody onslaut on civilians, killing more than 100 children in little over a day. They deliberately and openly targeted civilian infrastructure in a frenzy of revenge that hides the strategic. Vacuum, theyve diverted personnel from the west bank and have laid siege to gaza, nothing can go in or out, but the chess game can easily end an existential threat. Never has the idea that israel is a temporary entity been so palpable. The United States has issued bellacose warnings and says it is moving forces closer to the entity, but this is drawn fiery repose from the resistance access from hizballah and from the iraq. Resistance making it plain that escalation means that us personnel will be legitimate targets across the whole region. President joe biden gave nod to the difficulties faced by the much vaunted us hegeemon when he warned supporters the palestinians not to take advantage of the circumstances. He didnt say it, but the circumstances are a decline of us power, notable shortage of us weaponry which has been effectively destroyed in. Ukraine, a little known us stock pile of ammunition held in israel has been depleted by supplies in ukraine. Current pentagon plants to increase production will not even keep pace with the 6,000 shells expended each day by the ukrainians. The entry of hazbollah into conflict from the north isnt in the strategic vice that israel finds itself in. By monday, zinis radar station was decommissioned and the border fence at the northern border with lebanon was blown up. Any ground war in gaza will face stiff resistance and there will be many more occupation force casualties. Does the entity have the appetite for this, and will it mean the foundations of zinism . Begin to crumble. Since the beginning, the security of the zionist entity has depended on having enough jewish citizens to win the demographic struggles against the palestinians, with so many settlers fleeing from the airports and settlers from poland and bulgaria being evacuated, how long before the entity crumbles and the dismantling of zionism begins in earnest. If the special military operation in ukraine was the first act of the age of. Multipolarity, the prison burst from gaza is the opening of the second act. The future is unwritten. Sammy, your family was expelled from palestine in 1948, wasnt it . I mean, can you tell us about how you responded to the gaza breakout over the weekend . I mean, generations of philiptinians had their hope, the hope of the return to their ancestors lands. My grandfather and my father, both passed away years ago had that hope, it was not fulfilled, i have that hope, which hope that it would be fulfilled during my lifetime, but if not certainly my children would have that hope, what we witnessed this weekend was that this is possible, that this myth that the palestinians would forget over generations that the old would die and the new would forget is just a myth, is not true, the fact of the matter is that millions of palestinians outside palestine, inside palestine, yearn to the time where we would enter palestine and and and and be in that again, the the this notion of two state, one state solutions where it will basically exclude millions of palestinians from going back is not going to succeed. I think our our goal, our objective should be the dismantlement of the designed state because of its racist, exclusivist. Structure that this is apatide system that cannot survive the change in this world, and therefore when this crumbles and we have seen a glimpse of how could that be, when that happens then we could truly then talk about peace and talk about harmony and solve by the way the jewish problem, because zionism redefined judaism and i think we need to save judaism from the evil and from the ideology of cynism, indeed indeed. I mean, would you say that, this was an explosion of of ang anger from gaza in response to the endless provocations from the zienist entity, or or do you think something more strategics going on here . Well, it would be no surprise to say that people in gaza are a little bit angry, indeed with the sits, but this is not some spasm, some emotional outburst, uh, this has been planned for a long, long time, at least year, it seems that uh, hamas and the other resistance factions who we dont talk about enough, people talk about this being hamas doing this or hamas doing that, its hamas, yes, its the Palestinian Islamic jihad, its the popular front for the liberation of palestine, the Democratic Front for the liberation of palestine when indeed even armed groups, the arm fata have been involved in some of these actions, not to mention the various factions across the west bank, so this is a thing which has been in planning for at least year and is a strategic um strategic activity, so its not as if that this is over, there are other sorts of things which are going to fall into place, weve seen already from the north, hezballah and to some extent other factions like Palestinian Islamic jihad in leban on making a breach of the fence uh at the border, this is a strategic thing, and there are there are all sorts of structural questions in this chess game about who next comes into the into the frame, and thats what we have to see, thats what the. Future uh tells us, this is not going to be something where the designers can just crush the resistance, because there are all sorts of consequences for their actions, yes yes indeed, of course the focus just being on hamers by the Corporate Media is
