of eu aid that would barely fit two trucks to take many days to reach the gaza shores, a us gaza port that would take 60 days to build, yet there are palestinians in the north of the gaza strip were fighting for their lives due to their starvation. this is while the us president and israely prime minister are reportedly at odds over israel's rafa offensive with netanyahu threatening to go ahead with it, with biden saying that is the of us red line, and all of this happening while

the israeli regime is killing palestinians with us made bombs, since the us says israel has the right to defend itself. all of these angles and lot more coming up in this edition of the spotlight. first let me introduce our guests. alberto garcia watson, political analyst and activist joins us from malaga, spain. also joining us is angler, author and of political activist who joins us from montreal. welcome gentlemen, alberto watson, let me first start with you, the issue of aid uh, we know that is very contentious topic, of we're looking at uh one that has gone from hypocrisy uh even um being so illogical that some are saying that that's just plain stupidity, the way that the approaches are being made, we can talk about how the us is said it will take 60 days for this gaza port to be built, while there are eight trucks that are waiting at the uh border crossings

and the un has come out and said but the best way to deliver aid is through the land, yet the us also has opted to drop food uh parcels from the air uh why are we looking at this uh issue the way that it's being put out there from the us and also i should say the eu, but actually the western perspective is absolutely ridiculous in this case, we have hundreds of lories and trucks waiting outside this. rafa border in the egyptian side ready to bring aid, food, medicines, water and and everything needed for a catastrophic situation that at least 567 people that are on the arge of starvation are suffering in in in the gas strip, the fact you're throwing with parachutes food, just few thousand meals per day, that is not going to help anything at all. we talking about 2.3 million people

waiting for food and the the building of a port, a port, how ridiculous is that to wait two more months, it's it's going to be nobody left by the time that they finish building the port, when actually the port is not there to bring humanitarian aid, it's actually and most probably for the exploitation of the gas that has been found and the... of gas are 1.4 trillion cubic meters of gas that the israelis and the americans are going to exploit stealing away from the gas and so this is absolutely and ridiculous excuse of building a port that is going to take two months to bring humanitarian aid when thousands and thousands of tons of food are waiting just meters away in the uh gaza border with with egypt all right so angler let's uh dive into this a little bit deeper

uh, so i'm the us president for example, right, and you have a report uh in front of you given by the pentagon that states it'll take 60 days for this port to be built, there's another report that's staring the us president in the face uh that has come out from the un saying that there's almost 700 thousand gazans that are dying in the north of the gaza strip, these are people who are starving and they're fighting for their life, when you look at the timeline versus that, and then making that announcement, knowing all the other options that are out there, what does that say? well, it says the american government doesn't care about the 700 thousand palestinians that are starving, uh, but we knew that, they don't care about the people that israel's been slaughtering, uh, this is think a public relations exercise of course, and um, if the us decided to put some pressure on israel to demand israel

start letting uh trucks into gaza uh that could happen uh quite quickly and uh they don't want to do that, they they want to make a big uh public relations exercise that they... are trying to do something about the starvation um while not really doing anything about the starvation? taking a look at the uh uh another perhaps implication of this uh i don't for you what you think about it alberto watson and that is the fact that if the us says it takes two months for this gaza port to be built do you think that that maybe is a by design that maybe the us along with israel obviously want uh this 60 days to be out there in order for israel to achieve any of its military objectives, which one of them, which it has not been able to do, is to defeat the hamas fighters. absolutely, two months is, but actually is a time that uh israel needs is supposedly to get rid of

exterminate the hamas movement in the gaza strip, and that's absolutely ridiculous. uh, the situation cannot wait two months, the situation cannot wait two weeks. uh, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of gaza uh people that are actually in the verge of dying of a salvation and those that are not dying by salvation they're dying by the bombs thrown the american bombs thrown by these railing forces or diseases because there no uh hospitals that are working at this point because israel makes sure that the majority the hospitals were bombed just like the schools the universities every single structure. every single single critical structure israel has bomb and over the okay the united states, the united states is just making time, it's prolonging two more months, but actually the whole world is demanding and as a permanent, immediate seesfire, two months to build a port when we have, as i

said before, hundreds of thousands of tons of food, aid of all types and medicines just few meters away, it just shows that the coordination. between israel and the united states is is stronger than ever, well you have this uh intel report that came out of zangl, i don't heard about it, it's a us one, just days ago, it was released, and one of the things that it talked about was hamas and it is said israel will probably face lingering armed resistance from hamas for years to come, and that the israeli military will struggle to neutralize hamas's underground infrastructure, allowing insurgents, they call them insurgents, we call them fighters, to hide, regain strength and surprise israely forces, given this intel report and given this harsh reality and slap in the face of israel, do you think that uh, then what, what aims does israel have to continue uh this aggression on the gaza strip? first of all, do you agree with what

this report has revealed? oh, i mean i think that that's the report is is absolutely correct, and i would i would extend it out further, so long as israel ' imposes a system of apartide, of occupation, of violence against palestinians, there's going to be some form of arms resistance, of course there is, they know that, that is the history of uh of colonialism, um, maybe israel could wipe out palestinians so successfully uh that that you know there wasn't resistance, but even i mean that's you know hard to imagine they could drive them to lebanon, they could drive them to jordan, they'll probably still be... resistance so long as they impose this brutal colonial system that there's going to be a form of resistance. now more concretely in gaza or specifically about hamas, that's also the case. i mean, this is a, this is a uh, you gorilla warfare, and the population in

gaza does not like the brutal occupier that is, slaughtered more than 30,00, that expelled most of them uh... '70 some years ago, that's why they're in the gaza strip because they were driven from their homes within uh parts of what is now current day, israel, um, and so so this is this is a reality, the israeli government knows this, their rhetoric about defeating hamas is is never been something that i believe that the certainly the leadership of the israeli military took seriously, they knew this was going to continue uh, that they weren't going to be suc successful on that and in fact i i think it's in large part just a cover for uh justifying the you know genocide and and that's what we're i think seeing with rapha is that this whole rhetoric about israel you needing to go defeat the last remnance of hamas and rafa and and what not is just of course uh part of a desire to drive as many

palestinians out to drive them into egypt or or where wherever um now does israel have the means i mean israel clearly see within israeli uh public um the support for this genocidal, quite frankly i don't even want to use the word genocide anymore, more use the word holocaust that israel's uh... starvation and mass slaughter policy in gaza, the israeli public seems pretty on board, um, they might not be totally supportive of benjamin netanyahu, but they seem pretty on board with these policies, so um, how do we reign in this this nuclear armed uh country um, and the obvious ways of raining it in are that the us stops providing the bombs uh, that countries like canada, which where where i live, which has ramped up arms deliveries to israel since uh the slaughter. campaign uh that it stopped that uh that it you know at least start talking about what's going on in

the proper language, start referring to it as a genocide uh stop enabling all these kind of policies and so so long as there's this backing principally from the us but also from the other anglosphere and nato countries right uh israel has the means sure well i think the the publications that are out there whether websites uh or what have you are picking up on this and are really covering it i think. um, alberto watson, for example, headlines reading, providing both bombs and food, biden puts himself in the middle of gaza's war, they call it a war, we call it an onslaught, and another one that says more than 100 people were killed and hundreds more were injured last month over a crowd gathered around the convoy, stating you can't have a policy of giving aid and giving israel the weapons to bomb the food trucks and kill the palestinians who have gathered around it at the same time, so what is the thinking of the? us or should i say the strategy, what is it doing? is this all to put it out there and

have the audience figure it out? well, biden knows that he's got elections on the 5th of november and he has to attract the uh vote of those people that voted for him in the past that are states like michigan and others uh with total of over 300,00 people that have in the primaries voted and... permitted vote, which represents a big amount, actually very, very high percentage of the votes that actually, if we have this elections that are going to be quite tight between donald trump and joe biden he's going to need, so most probably he's been trying to attract back this uh votes from this - arabs and uh muslims and young, the base of the democrat party. is now quite a far away politically and ideologically from joe biden, so yes it

is, it sounds absurd, we're going to help, we're going to bring food, we're going to bring uh uh construct a port to bring the humanitarian aid, but at the same time all the people getting killed in gaza, the dozens of thousands of civilians, mostly children and women are killed with american weapons, so you cannot provide... weapons and at the same time intend and pretend to be uh to actually care for this population when actually you providing everything needed to provoke what it was actually mentioned before, not just a genocide but a holocaus as a colleague in montreal said and it's actually true, this is it's absurd, it's cynical and and and is ironic that you try to uh so you pretend that you're interested or you are... very very careful of the situation and concern about the the situation of all

the thousands of people dying and more that are going to die, it was a un report a couple of months ago saying that in the situation continues like this, this was the end of december, we will have actually more people dying of salvation and diseases than those that are killed by the bombs that the united states give israel, so situation is dramatic and united states could stop it and they can stop it very very fast, but they don't have an interest, they are as interested as the israelis in keeping on, they're never going to finish with hamas, they're actually the biggest factory of resistance ever existing of israel, because every single member of the palestinian resistance, you're going to find 10 more members in the next few years, all those children that will survive, are traumatized for life and they will fight back. all right, um, to get into a stat on the children which uh uh the unra gave out which is very startling, but on the us

support for israel, we're kind of seeing this spat between bb netanya u benjamin netanyahu and the us president uh joe biden uh come out in the open now uh based on what we're looking at eve zangler and the most recent indication of that is what uh you have had uh this uh very popular and stanch supporter of the israeli um cabinet in particular netanyahu, and that came from chuck schumer. chuck schumer has come out and said that uh, he believes, and i'm quoting him a new election is the only way. to allow for healthy and open decision-making process about the future of israel. now he's the highest ranking jewish politician in the us. first of all, what's your reaction to him calling for new elections and by the way, that did come out in one way or another in that us intel report that we just mentioned few minutes ago? yeah, i think that they they

don't like um some of the ways that netan yahoo is uh uh managing some of this, i don't i think that the broad, the us is supportive the broad outlines of what israel is doing in gaza, but but there are uh, they i don't think they like the optics of uh ben gadvere, smaldrich, some of the hardline factions, extremist factions in the netanyahu government, and uh, benny gance would be a preferable face uh, and he probably be a little bit more um uh compliant with what us, how us would want to lead this. um, now then, but biden has also said that he's not, while, while he thinks that netan is doing things that are against israel's interests, he's not going to stop, um, and that he doesn't want them to go into rafa, he's not going to stop the weapons deliveries, so so it's quite a

contradictory position uh, how biden is said that publicly, um, i, i think they, i think the... would like they know that the israeli public doesn't really like netanyahu anymore and that that elections would probably serve uh us interests so you would have a new government that's more uh you know better kind of optics and and is is um you know willing to be a bit more compliant with the us and i think they so they want they would like to see netanyahu go and i think that probably is what schumer you know i i'm a a critic of uh of us coup policies and us interference around the world uh and the us of course has overthrown governments and dozens and dozens of countries. um, in this case, i i'm - i sort of, i don't like the idea of the us interfering uh, because that's usually a bad thing, but in this case if they interfere and make slightly less bad um uh

regime in place, maybe that will be uh for the better, maybe the the starvation policy won't be as as uh horrendous um, but this is mostly about managing the um the sort of pro israel policy of of how to uh, what's the better optics and what's the, you know, there's some things that they go a little too far for washington is liking, well we know that this unshakable bond between the two is never going to go away based on what we've seen for the past decades, obviously alberto watson, but what was reported first was that by netanyahu... uh have this rift, it's on public display uh headlines reading that uh bb is hurting israel more than helping it, something that uh the us president joe biden had said um and that they were a collision course, and now you have chuck schumer uh coming out and he's the leader of the us senate who has said uh that you know there's got to be new elections, not only that uh there's also indications from him based on

the statements he made uh that uh the question of the aid for the defense of israel and the even the un uh assistance that us gives israel and restrictions on the use of us weapons by the iof forces is something that needs to be looked at based on what chuck schumer has said so we looking at this again the leveled against netanyahu for this to go to the way where they want netanyahu out and will that actually become a reality you think they want netanyahu out uh netanyahu is not wanted in the united states but he's not wanted. in israel either, so situation is that for the palestinians would not change much, because when when there wasid or sharon and barak or shimon perez, it never stopped, even jisak rabin, the great rabin signed the also courts when he was

minister of the fans during the first cifada, he created this doctrine of breaking the bones of the little. the were throwing stones, so it's it's whoever you put there um uh is actually going to react in the same way towards the palestinian certainly cleansing and kill as many as you can, but the thing with benjamin netanyahu is that with his cabinet of extremiss and fascis that he surrounded with, looks like we may have lost alberto watson. all right, eve zengler, let me come out you, alberto watson, we just lost you there at the end, if you can repeat the... end of your statement there, i was mentioning that it's not much of a difference if you have japid or if you have an all of them. them are war criminals, but the way that this new cabinet with berhamin netanyahu and smartridge, and benkivier and his big

bunch of fascis, supremacists that are in the government give a real part name for the united states and for the western world in general, this is the very very first time that israel is brought in front of a international tribunal of of justice, and this support... reporting israel at this moment for the united states is something really terrible to do, they do it for their interests obviously, but what do they will do whatever it takes to get rid of benhame netanyahu and put someone like they have done so many times, hundreds of times since the second world war change the presidents and put them to work in the and the payroll, well maybe that's why the us is after that and it's because of what the commissioner general the un relief and works agency onrah has said philiparini and dengler, i'm going to direct you to this particular stat, the number of children reported killed in just over four months in gaza is higher than the number of children killed in four years of wars around

the world combined, so what, first of all, what, what's your reaction to that, and uh, do you think that that's something that the us has has taken into consideration when it comes to the military assistance that has given israel? i think that's absolute unbelievable, and if you if... if you get into the stats even more, you think it through a little bit more, i mean we're talking about very small, we're talking about 2 million people versus wars where countries as 20, 30, 40 million people or even bigger countries, so this is this is an that's an absolutely astounding statistic, you now ukraine, i think it's like 500 um children, 550 children killed in two years, ukraine is a country of 40 million, around 40 million people. people, gaza is just over two million people, this is absolutely beyond belief, um, obviously anybody with an ounce of humanist

ethos in their in their mind and body, obviously this leads to stopping the simplest thing, stopping the weapons, the simplest, you don't directly contribute to killing more babies and children, obviously that's what the canadian, us and other governments giving the... selling or giving those weapons need to do, will they? mean, they've seen these numbers go up, this is not, this is now put together in a, think a very powerful way, but this is we've seen this, and and and of course this number is an undercount, we still know there's many children under the rubble, that's right, let alone starvation questions, this is it's just it's beyond belief, thank you, well unfortunately going to have to end it there, that was eveler author and political activist montreal, alberto garcia watson, thank you, political analyst and activist from malaga, spain with that.
