this is being done in your name a massacre a bloodbath a war crime on a Biblical scale is currently underway in Gaza now I went on TV earlier do my best to challenge the absolutely outrageous media coverage with courageous exceptions of This calamity but before I share that clip a few more comments this is what's important it's your government arming and backing Israel as it unleashes this war crime the Israeli state has ordered the civilian population of Northern Gaza to leave their homes all 1.1 million of them now the UN has declared that this will
lead to devastating humanitarian consequences and calls for that order to be reversed the Norwegian Refugee Council has declared it would amount to the war crime of forcible transfer demanding it be reversed the director general of the World Health Organization has said that that decision to order an evacuation is asking vulnerable patients to evacuate hospitals in Gaza and that amounted to a death sentence demanding it be reversed the truth is hundreds of thousands of those civilians cannot leave leave it's impossible to do so this is a war zone not least those who are desperately desperately ill
injured a the Gaza Health Ministry said it's impossible to evacuate the wounded to the South there are no extra beds in any hospitals anywhere for people to move to most of the Wounded are in stable the Dion route all hospitals in Gaza even after they've been expanded are full it was already a war crime to cut off food water and electricity to a Gaza which remember has been under blockade from Land Air and sea for 15 years reducing it to the world's largest open air prison as you listen to this entire neighborhoods have been wiped
out the head of the UN relief and works Agency for Palestine refugees has said Gaza is being turned into a hell hole the mentality of the Israeli State here should not be indow their president Isaac hog has directly made it clear that the official position of the Israeli state is one of collective punishment he said it is an entire nation out there that is responsible it's not true this rhetoric about civilians not being aware not involved it's absolutely not true they could have risen up they could have fought against that evil regime which took over
Gaza and akud have no doubt that's the sort of mentality which historically has led to genocide now what we may well what we are witnessing what we are witnessing is a human catastrophe one created by the Israeli States armed and backed by Britain and the United States but much of our media is not telling the truth about the brutal reality of what's happening in Gaza earlier I went on the Jeremy Ry show to make this point and about how Palestinians are being stripped to their Humanity by the media and politicians the British government is helping
the humanitarian crisis in the first place happen because it's supporting what is a war crime and that's what we should be talking about is a war crime being committed with the support of the British government this military um contribution by the way is completely tokenistic uh if anyone thinks it's going to do anything worthwhile it won't um and I don't understand the framing of prevent allout war in the region it won't do any such thing clearly um what it does show is that the British government will stand behind the Israeli state whilst it commits a
war crime now what's happening at the moment is collective punishment which is illegal under international law we were all horrified by the atrocities committed by Hamas against innocent civilians um in Israel what is now happening is illegal under the Geneva Convention you cannot cut off okay let's let's just go back to these ships though because what we have there is a hospital ship and certainly in the way that I the reason about talking about that we witnessed the military 's they they they didn't regard which side people came from they treated them and if we
are about to see a humanitarian crisis on you increased scale then that ship could be there to help out ow this is too tokenistic a contribution to be worth commenting on all it shows the only significance of this is that it shows the British government will unequivocally unconditionally back Israel while it cuts off water food and electricity while it drops white phosphorus people should Google people should Google white phosphorus what it does it's like raining fire on civilians it sticks to your skin and burns it off it's a war crime to use that against the
civilian population the British government's position is that it will support Collective punishment against a population which is the SI the size Gaza of East London it has 2.2 million people 80% of them rely on International humanitarian assistance 50% of them are children 50% of children they are hungry desperate kids they did not kill those people those those poor innocent people in Israel and the position of Britain is that the hundreds of Palestinian kids who have already died more will be killed as well as Medics who are dying as well as you un officials journalists the
whole work and would we need some balance here genuinely a bit of balance here I was talking to a Jewish friend this morning who said who lives in London and said that um her daughter whose Jewish is in Paris um is not going out because she's so fearful um you've got WhatsApp groups in the Jewish communi saying to people don't go out because they're really worried about um anti-semitic attacks in the UK all over the world so there's a there's an you know if you were Jewish I think you would feel different I think you'd
feel very afraid I think the the shock and the the as you always said the horrific nature of the attack that happened to um completely innocent Jewel and calling civilians is is is a kind of very it's you these are family these were mothers and fathers and children and the way they were killed and the fact that it was absolutely unashamedly we won't even trying to get military Target we will just go and kill people in a terrible terrible way so I understand I want I really have no I really want to focus on our
subject which is about which is about of these ships just so we clear but just so we're clear what they're aiming to do is Patrol to prevent arms making their way to her I just think I'm frustrated about why my my response is somehow not acceptable because I'm saying that the significance of what Britain is doing is through this tokenistic gesture it's showing that it supports what Israel is doing and just on no I have to respond very quickly to that you're absolutely right anti-semitic incidents always go up during these fles of violence that's always
true and every attempt to blame Jewish people for what's happening committed by Israel is anti-Semitism what is also happening it always happens at the same time is you get an increase in anti-muslim hate crimes and they are being spiking in Britain and elsewhere as well but the point I would just make very politely to you is you talked about the fear people have Jewish people here and in France and elsewhere the fear of people in Palestine now is based on the fact they are being bombed they are having white prosses dropped and the reason I'm
frustrated is ham those Palestinian children didn't do that and they're paying and Palestinian children are of equal worth their lives isra child people aren't saying that in the media Palestinian people are being treated as less than human this support that's that's being offered that's that's on its way what you want us to say about this I'm genuinely curious I don't understand what the point I'm just saying if you look at the purpose of these two ships what they're there to do one is to prevent arms making their way to Hamas that's a good thing the
token the other the other is to provide Hospital assistance now presumably that's for whoever needs it regardless of which side they that is aiding in what could be a catastrophic humanitarian crisis which which Britain could stop Britain could stop by taking a stand against punishment is killing in canot stop that I mean my Fe my fear when I heard that we were sending this task force was oh my goodness we're not getting involved in another War are we you know surely we have learned that when when we step into the Middle East no good thing
ever happen that and I think we've already got Ukraine that we're involved in and now we going to be involved in this it just like we I feel like as a country we've got so many problems here and yet yet again we're getting whether it's tokenistic which I think it largely is here we are getting involved made a great Point L we just made an excellent point there which is every single one of these military interventions has been a disaster you're right Iraq Afghanistan Libya we could go on but that's also true with the with
Gaza every single Israeli Onslaught on Gaza killed huge numbers of innocent civilians and it did not stop Hamas and you also had Israeli soldiers dying not anywhere compared to the number of Palestinians and again in the last 15 years before this hideous atrocity which Hamas committed 96% of the deaths were Palestinian 96% of the injuries were Palestinian and we've got to start treating Palestinians as human beings because in this discussion in the media at the moment people are not treating Palestinians as human beings and that has to stop I just want to end by saying
this I've worked in the media now for 12 years and I've never been so disgusted with this industry never so disgusted with commendable Exceptions there is not even the pretense that Palestinian civilian life is of equal life to that of an Israeli or Western civilian life that is gratuitous Unapologetic racism and it should be described as such when someone because of their racialized characteristics their life is treated as of being less worth than you it is vitally important of course to hold our governments to account for this ongoing Massacre and for example in Britain the
failure of the opposition to hold the government to account but it's also important to hold media outlets and commentators to account they are helping to build consent for this atrocity some of them their rhetoric is nothing short of nauseating whipping up in in the most kind of bloodlust way support for this mass murder now everything that happens from now on is in part on them in the coming Bloodshed some of those who cheered on this war crime will start to express Regrets We didn't mean this this isn't what we wanted that's what they'll say don't
let them get away with it don't let them get away with it what happens next is obvious it's obvious to us all they cannot look back and say that what is about to happen is something they could never have predicted it we know what's going to happen and they should not and cannot be absolved of their own responsibility please like subscribe do keep the channel on the road on patreon.com 84 I'll see you soon
