We also have tim anderson, director of the center for countermonic studies joining us from sydney, sydney. Welcome to you both for hus, ill start with you, when it comes to the israeli aggression, in particular when it comes to the hospitals, there hasnt been really solid uh piece of news that came out showing that uh israeli objective was met, whatever that was, which the forefront is uh trying to uh extinguish the hamas fighters in one form or another, um, why is it that theyre continuing with their targeting off the hospitals, do you think . I think its a further attack on the civilian infrastructure in gaza itself, i think the president of brazil luis de silva probably uh encapsulated this best when impire friing him when he said basically uh its an asymmetrical war, what we have is a well trained, wellarmed, well equipped uh army uh fighting civilians, so that to me is the best description of whats happening in gaza, we saw previous attacks. I believe on the al hospital is at the hospital where they said there were tunnels underneath and that they were trying to release captives, it appears that there is no lie too big and there is no. Atrocity too small that israely offensive forces are to carry out on the people of gaza, so when you couple the attacks on the hospitals, if you remember the six young innocent babies who were left to die in their incubators uh when another hospital people were forced to evacuate the sick, the wounded and even the people uh undergoing intensive curre treatment, were just seeing a continue. Attack on uh the civilian population like the flor massacers at the cutity roundabout where over 400 people according to the Gaza Ministry of health have been murdered uh simply men going out fathers, sons, uncles, grandfathers, simply going to try and get some flow in order to save uh their families and help them Going Forward in this genocidal famon that has been weaponized. As a form of collective punishment in order to subjue and forge the Palestinian People into uh submission, so were seeing famon, were seeing bombs, were seeing attacks on hospitals, schools, there was an attack on the un Aid Distribution Center uh just recently, and there were many wounded and and some dead, and its just a complete attack on the whole, its its a psychological war upon the whole people. Of gaza and this genocidal american eu back uh uh ethnic cleansing of the people of palestine. Well tim anderson, you had this uh Us Intelligence report that came out days ago uh when and it mentioned number of things, one of them was about the hamas fighters and it said that uh the hamas fighters are going to pose a challenge for um israel for years to come, and when you take into account to the lack of accomplishment in terms of uh one the stated goals of israel which is eradicating hamas and particular. Uh when it comes to the tunnels for example, they have failed there, what does that tell the Israeli Regime . Obviously theyre not doing something right there, well youre right, this is reported in the in the zianist media also that they um Us Intelligence group said that theyre not going to be able to get rid of hamas because really hamas is just the tip of the Palestinian Resistance iceberg and thats not going to go away anytime soon basically, but when youre talking about el shifa remember also this is hospital that was devastated. Before, its in the north in gaza city, there are still civilians there even though conditions of life have been very difficult in the areas, all of the residential areas been devastated around there, there also is resistance there, the resistance is back in areas where the israelis thought they got rid of them, so the civilians are there, and really um, of course this idea that theyre actually going after hamas is only part of the story, anyway, lets remember that, they have said many times to us, and this is what the south africans have carried to the international court. Of justice, they want to destroy the conditions of life to make it unbearable, they want to destroy the people or drive them out, and of course this new port that the us is involved in is widely suspected now of being a way to try and evacuate and take palestinians out of gaza to help with the ethnic cleansing of the area, so the assault on civilians is has always been a openly stated part of this genocide, very few genocides in the past have openly stated as clearly as. Have this one, so this new attack on alssha tells us, well there are still civilians there, there is still resistance there, the israelis are back there, um, theyre trying to make conditions of life unbearable for the people there, because they have these dreams of turning into a car park or some new tourist resort after theyve got rid of the inconvenient fact of the fact that people still live there. Thank you so much, for hes journalist, author and activist, and thank you tim anderson, director of the center for counterhegemonic studies. With that we come to an end for this news review.
