outletting eight trucks into the gaza strip, we know that there's two thousand of them for example waiting at the crossings, and when they do, it's just a trickle, and also instant where you have, this is just a couple instances that i'm noting here, one instance where you had the palestinis gathering around the a truck and then they uh um shot at them, killing over hundred of them, even though of of course this regime claims otherwise, is israel guilty of using food as a weapon? "well absolutely, they're responsible and they're guilty as charged, what happened last thursday with the so-called flower masaka, where they um shot a thousands of people killing over hundred hungry palestinians and wound in close to a thous, it just proves what kind of genocidal mentality israel has.

towards the palestinian residence in the gaza strip, but then again last sunday they sort to repeat the strategy of attacking uh people in their bala uh while also approaching a food convoys and they did last night again near the kuwait round about uh in the uh gaza strip in the northern part in the gaza city when people were approaching again to get some food uh, it repeats the story over and over, they want to use food as a weapon, they want to use the starvation, now that today the 20th victim of a starvation has fallen and the gas are strip, they want, as matter of fact, having thousands of tons of food waiting outside the border with the rafa and the uh and the egyptian, side of the of the

border, it's so indecent and it's so obseine that 2.4 million people has to starve to death. this this was actually not expected from so-called modern nation like israel is, but they usually they actually use in the same methods that we used in the barsaw of ghetto during the second world war by the nazi troops that are starved to death almost 400. thousand people for several months and we see that they're not going to stop unless the international community that is not responding to this goal, do something about it? well uh the us roll has also become a bit more prominence here uh if there was any doubts about that uh let's look at and get your idea about this food airdrops that the us uh did uh where it involved jordan and it was about 38,000 food parcels that were

involved here. now it seemed like the us was very enthusiastic about doing that, that it was a goodwill gesture on their part to give that impression anyways, but uh, they have been facing a barrage of critiques. how can 38,00 food parcels satisfy almost 2 million palestinians who are dying, and i must say 500 thousand of them are on the on starvation, meaning they're fighting for the for their life. what do you think about this so-called? air drop that has happened of food from the us. yes, thank you. i always begin with bismillah in the name of allah, thank you very much. it's all, it's all a pretense, i am a citizen of the united states, it's been very clearly stated as a very recently by president joe biden a program, very unabashed, very unapologeted. he said clearly to the american public that uh, you do not have to be a jew you to be a zionist, and i

want to tell you right now that i a zionist, right there and then, he's saying that he is a white supremist, he is racist, he he sides with the apartty colonial state of israel, he's made it clear, so this whole thing about dropping the food is setting the stage for the us and israel to maintain and continue control of that area, and i can fores more gestures, fake gestures, all leading to... troll so here you are denying aid coming in from other countries, you are setting yourself up to be the one that's the benefactor, you're the one that's that's bringing the humanitarian relief, you're the one that's that's making sure that you control everything, you know, so when this decimation is over, you can for you can forceed the united states pumping more aid into that area, for the soul purpose of controlling that and setting up neocolonial arrangement, in fact... anybody is even left,

so it is, it is not charity, it is definitely not good will, is it is the same process, united states have done in many countries around the world, wants to decimated the... area to come in with their their pretense of aid only for the purpose of securing their power and control of that area, they're not concerned at all with human life. let's continue with this uh us air dropping of aid uh alberta watson because it's really confusing what the us is trying to do here on the one hand you have two million palestinians who are starving uh 500 thousand them life and death situation, but you have 38,00 of these uh airdrops of food, which by the way from what we understand there were dates. the sandwich, i don't know how that's going to be suffice, and then you have eight trucks waiting uh on the border crossings, 2,00 of them, but the us was responsible for it to get to the situation with the military assistance that it gave, and there was just a report out in the washington post indicating

how many thousands and thousands of bombs were actually provided to israel, so uh, isn't this a somewhat hypocritical of the us to think that air dropping, the minimal amounts? is going to give the impression that they're not guilty, maybe, actually, this has just happened uh the same day or the day before the super tuesday primary elections in the united states, so it's just a propaganda strategy that the president biden has used, because if it really was meaning to help the population and the gassa strip to get fed and and and in in moments and which as you very well said we're talking about 567 people at this moment are in the verge of a starvation, he will actually convince the israeli ally, the israeli authorities to open the border and let those, if not hundreds thousands of

trucks with food, with medicines, with water to actually enter the ga strip, we're just talking about um uh five six days left for the start of ramadan and the people are dying of estavation in the gas strip, the majority of which if not the 100% are civilians and the miners, the big majority, this is not hamas fighters that their after the israelis that actually after disimating the entire civilian population of the gaza strip and they're actually not even enable or capable of fighting hamas which... is so much stronger in the gaza strip that the israeli army is, so the americans are just on one hand given a little bit of food, peanuts, basically, and on the other hands they given enough ammunition to killed whoever uh survives from this little um kind of silly

help, as i'm saying, the food that they receiving, some of the food is so ridiculous, the people were yesterday... and they could wait uh round about in gaza city complaining that even some of the food that they were receiving had to be prepared in microwave when actually they don't even have electricity already for months so this is an irony is insult and it's absolutely absolutely obseine you what's what's strange over here is jihad abduhamed is the fact that uh you have uh this truth that's now uh being discussed and uh hammered out in a sense and uh "the us says the balls in the court of hamas. now we have a situation we have 500 thousand or based on our guest uh that are there, 567 palestinians who are starving, meaning they're fighting for their life. do you think that the us is actually using this starvation as a tool in order to bring hamas

into submitting and succumbing to the will of the us and israeli regime? since you have that many palestinians that may unfortunately and hopefully won't happen die as..." starvation and again using that as a tool to make sure that it meets the demands, yes indeed, i think in your question there lies the answer, and and even and even before that, this is not confusing, this is not confusing, not unless a person has been living under rock for the last since the united states 1950s and manifest destiny policy aggression, united states has said clearly. biden himself that if israel did not exist, the united states would have created its own israel to make sure it maintain control in that area of the world, so this is just military strategy, it has absolutely nothing to do with the good will of the

people, helping the people, the media over here, listening, if you was to tune into the abc, nbc, cbs, cnn and dephany fox news, you would get total different perspective, that little... the food dropping that air drop was telled as being the biggest thing in the world to dupe the the gollable naive american population which becoming which is becoming more conscious uh that the united states is doing a good deed finally, hey, the united states is coming to the rescue, it's all war strategy, and it is not confusing for those that understand history, they know a little bit about history, the how the united states has been involved in in in the muslim world, in the in the middle east, in the far east, and latin america, all around the world, we know that this is the same agenda, it's all ill, sure, we'd like to discuss this truths a little bit more um, whether it's going to work or not, alberta, what? and i mean we're we're looking at different angles of it and one of them is the fact that uh why should

hamas even go ahead with the truth, i mean if you think about the device of issues that exist, one of them is the fact that israel has said and it has repeated it that they still want to eliminate hamas at the end no matter what, however given that and the fact that hamas is demanding a permanent cease fire, but yet israel and the us wants a temporary... fire, it puts it the question why hamas should even go ahead with this? well, definitely hamas has already for the past weeks uh rejected any offered of temporary trues uh in the gaza strip uh and they actually will accept a only a permanent trues where all the uh prisoners are exchanged and all the troops... the occupation israeli troops are withdrawing

from the gaza strip, this is what they have been already saying for the past weeks of months, this is what the delegations and the passt have brought to doha and tokaero, and they're not going to change their mind, because the fact that only through the ramadan uh some more trucks with aid is going to be allowed into the gas strip. "this is just going to whitewash the image of israel and the united states, but then shortly after they'll be bombing again and killing again by the thousands of women and children like they've been doing in the past five months, so definitely for hamas, this is no uh resolution capable of being approved by them, and i do understand them uh, what what actually the israeli forces and the israeli'. it is want it's an ethnic clingsing, they actually want that the situation is so

unbearable for the population of gaza, that eventually they just cross the border by jumping the fans with egypt so they can at least do what actually they promoting in countries like the united states and canada at this moment in synagogues, which is the selling of palestinian territories and palestinian land to jewish around the world, especially can juse uh to move now uh to the uh to the west bank but shortly after it happen also and the gas is strip when they cleaned up completely that's actually their project, however they are finding lot of resistance in the past 76 years from a populations that is not willing to repeat a nagba 2.0 because they had enough of it and they will resist and they will prefer today actually in their land ' before having to across to the border with uh with egypt. you

know, it's a very confusing when you take a look at the amount of military assistance jihad abdul mohammed the us has given uh the israeli regime forces uh where on the ground we know that uh so many bombs have been used and i uh referred to this washington post article but uh it revealed that more than 100 separate four militaries sales to israel has been done since uh the onslot began it's that amounted to thousands of precision guide ammunitions, bombs, bunkerbusters, small arms and all this, but they have not been able to defeat hamas, i mean at this point we know 350 iof uh regime forces have been killed, so uh the question comes about why they haven't been able to defeat hamas and what their aims would be if the if many have said that that's just going to be an impossibility overall right, it makes me think about the battle abodder during the time of the prophet muhammad peace and blessing people with. 113 people defeated a much more serious army and forces, so looking through it through islamic

lens and many of these sisters and brothers are muslims, that's why we we're not going to lose, even in death we don't lose, dying as a martter is not a loss, those that are living and fighting, that's why they won't leave because of the resoluteness and the world needs to take note of when you see mother holding her baby you know praising allah, that is a strength that you don't see in many. you know because their nation states carved out by colonialis themselves, you know, and they're not abiding by the principle of there's no god, muhammad is his messenger and one umah, and i'm a muslim, so everything you ask me is going to come from an islamic analysis, not a secular analysis. we are winning, and united states and israel has forever lost their moral authority, their moral ground, if they ever had it, but people

over here are realizing the hypocrisy, they're realizing uh what's really going on. is going to forever change and the united states response over here is beginning to build up to to develop fascist state to be able to control the resistance inside the united states. this is very, this is very serious what's happening around the world. this is the most serious contradiction that's been happening. i know there's genocide in parts of africa and many other places, but this here it bakes the possibility of a world war, and and and so lot of religious history forms right there and... palestine, lot of the prophets come from that area, we're not losing, we're not losing, the united states can do whatever they want, is all in the control of allah, and you can believe as sure as i'm sitting here, united states and israel will be the loser in this battle, i don't care how many of us die, we appreciate that persecution is worse than slaughter, persecution is worse than slaughter, persecution is worse than slaughter, thank

you for that, we do appreciate that, and you want a side note there, i'm i'm sure that you maybe have heard this, albert watson that uh many actually in the states and western countries have uh looked at islam in a different way based on the uh perceverance of the palestinians in the gaza strip so it goes along the lines of what our guest are said but i'd like to now take a look at the occupied west bank albert watson and ask you about um uh the crisis that's there that has been there for decades but obviously it has picked up since october 7th uh not only do you have so many people who have been uh killed at this point uh i think over 400 about 412 or so um in terms of the numbers that have been arrested, quite shocking uh, you have about 8,00 since october 7th, but the us secretary uh treasury secretary came out recently and said in a warning to parliament netanyahu, you need to do something about the economy of the west bank, you need to take care of it, you need to make sure that it's in motion uh, because that's going to spell another disaster, that warning

uh is isn't that um somewhat synonymous with the fact that "if the west bank falls apart as it is, that that will then pose an existential threat to the israeli regime, because it also does involve the israeli economy at the same time, and if that goes anywhere close to what the gaza strip is experiencing, then uh that could spell the end of this real regime, but definitely, because actually israel is in charge of collecting uh the taxes from the west bank and they're not even delivering the money to the palestinian." national authority to pay their workers in the west bank and in the gaza strip, so it is actually very important for the israeli economy, despite the fact that they actually need thousands of palestinian workers in the west bank working in the israeli society. the economy in in in

israel is actually down going down the train in the past months that actually invest in over 260. billion dollars per month uh and this war per day, actually not uh per month, per day and that is actually collapsed in the economy of israel. israel cannot depend on the help that it receives from the united states at all times, so they they actually need that the commercial activity and the economy of the west bank continuous working, which is actually being partially collapsed by uh the since last year the incursions and the rates of the israeli troops into and and not only the israel troops but also the settlers, the israeli settlers in the west bank that has been created a total chaos not just in the economy but in the social life in

the west bank sure um what you describe there jihad abdul mohamed is very touching and "the genocide however has continued, i think many people um, unfortunately, and i don't want to blame people, but when you when you continue hearing hundred every 24 hours or more palestinians are being murdered, uh, there's something that is uh happening here where it makes it become uh part of the language now and part of the the landscape that this is normal, and uh, i think it was riad mansor who said, this shouldn't be normal." when it comes to the world reaction that has have however continued, what else do you think can be done uh to stop this geneside from happening? yes indeed, this is very, very... daughting scary scenario when you have when you have a geneoc you know there's a poet here gilscot harin said the revolution will not be televised but ironically the genocide

will when you see children as you said hundred children a day on the average of being killed as a direct result and not to mention mamed and crippled and not to mention the mothers and women and adults uh 10 th00 it it it it defies any any type of comprehension of about that, but the scary scenario is that the world at this point since october 7, and even the 70 years prior to that, have watched this genocide, the world has watched it, that means that the world cannot muster the will or determination and strength to stop two countries, israel in the united states, two white supremist countries, and i'll call a spade of spade, this is white supremacy in his glory, this is white supremacy in his. glory unabashed, they'll tell you that and i'll call it exactly what it is. the united states is a white supremist government built on the back of african slaves, we all know that, it is

manifest, destiny is conquered and taking over all country people of color, so what you're seeing now, the only way that this is going to stop is by the will of allah and the people coming together in country, and that hasn't happened yet, thank you for that, it's a shameful testimony for muslim countries not to help, because they're clinging to the dunya. they're afraid, i don't know what their national policy is, but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and smells like a duck is a duck, and that duck is call, thank you for that, we're unfortunately fresh out of time, jihad abdul, former black panther party member from stone mountain georgia, alberto garcia watson, political analyst and activist from malaga spain, with that we come tonight for this edition of the spotlight from the team, it's goodbye.
