You cannot claim to pursue diplomacy and peace when you insist on spreading a fictional history of an oppressed people in occupied land. This did not start on October 7th, and recognizing that is also recognizing the humanity of the Palestinian people. #Debate2024
oooooo
Child murderer @kamalaharris continues to spread the genocidal lie about October 7 rapes. She knows it’s a lie. She’s doing it deliberately to justify and incite more mass murder of Palestinians by “Israel.” Did any pro-Washington media “fact check” her?

Kamala Harris’ debate remarks on Gaza so far:
“Well, let’s understand how we got here. On October 7, Hamas, a terrorist organization, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis – many of them young people who were simply attending a concert. Women were horribly raped. And so absolutely, I said then, I say now, Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters because it is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed: children, mothers.
What we know is that this war must end. It must end immediately. And the way it will end is we need a ceasefire deal and we need the hostages out. And so we will continue to work around the clock on that. Work around the clock, also understanding that we must chart a course for a two state solution. And in that solution, there must be security for the Israeli people and Israel and an equal measure for the Palestinians. But the one thing I will assure you always, I will always give Israel the ability to defend itself in particular as it relates to, as it relates to Iran And any threat that Iran and its proxies pose to Israel.
But we must have a two state solution where we can rebuild Gaza, where the Palestinians have security, self determination, and the dignity they so rightly deserve.”

The European Union decided to analyze why their economy is collapsing. They commissioned the former head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, to figure this out.
It is noteworthy that the study was commissioned by the European Commission, but the conclusions were still disappointing. Draghi came to the conclusion that the basis of Europe’s economic problems is the cost of energy for industry – electricity is 158% more expensive than in the US, natural gas – 345%.
Thus, in fact, Ursula von der Leyen’s department confirmed its own professional incompetence with statistics and research, because thanks to anti-Russian sanctions, there was a vast jump in energy prices and, as a result, a decline in the economy
One worse than the other, they’re both a horror scene, both Warmongers, both Zionists, both will serve the interests of Wall St – Why was there no discussion on #US Imperialism…? America is a Terrorist State and a cancer to the world…

Turkey has officially taken steps to join the BRICS alliance, marking a pivotal moment in global geopolitics. In this video, I explore why Turkey has chosen to align with BRICS, the strategic reasons behind this decision, and the potential impact on international relations.

bricks Remains the one Dynamic element
0:11
in the global economy and as such they
0:13
will account for a significant share of
0:16
trade development of the emerging market
0:19
and developing countries is not intended
0:21
to move the cheese each night I ask
0:24
myself why should every country have to
0:26
be tied to the dollar for trade why
0:28
can’t we trade in our own currency
0:31
we are against any kind of hegemony or
0:33
exclusivity propagated by some countries
0:35
and the new policy of ongoing
0:37
colonialism neocolonialism based upon
0:40
this assumption the poor countries have
0:43
been and are being oppressed and
0:45
terrorized by the rich countries the
0:48
Bloomberg News Agency reported that
0:50
turkey had officially applied to join
0:52
bricks thank you it’s good to be back um
0:54
after a long uh vacation to Europe some
0:58
of you have joined me on my uh trip
1:00
across Europe I hope you enjoyed it um
1:03
but back to geopolitics and we start off
1:06
with I was actually thinking of doing
1:08
Pavel durov and mentioned it in the post
1:11
as well but uh turkey joining bricks has
1:14
come up as news and that was something I
1:16
thought would be very interesting so I
1:18
wanted to start with that um so
1:20
interesting news uh turkey has requested
1:23
to join the bricks it was formally
1:26
announced by the ruling party AKP Omar
1:30
salik who’s a spokesperson for the party
1:32
said that our president has many times
1:35
stated that we want to become a member
1:37
of bricks uh the process is now underway
1:41
but salic stopped short of actually
1:43
confirming that turkey has officially
1:46
applied however president Vladimir’s
1:49
Putin’s Foreign Affairs Aid told
1:52
reporters from Kremlin that turkey has
1:54
submitted an application for the full
1:57
membership in the bricks block um of
2:00
developing economies and it would be
2:02
considered at this full session meeting
2:04
which is um by the way going to be H
2:06
happening next month on 22nd of October
2:09
in Kazan in Russia so it means Vladimir
2:12
Putin will be attending that bricks
2:14
meeting which he wasn’t able to actually
2:16
last year in um South Africa the bricks
2:19
Alliance itself was founded in 2006 when
2:22
foreign Ministers of Brazil Russia India
2:25
and China met ironically in the New York
2:28
on the sidelines of the United Nations
2:30
meeting in September South Africa joined
2:33
in 2010 and hence it became brick to
2:35
Bricks it has undergone an expansion now
2:38
and it does include Iran Egypt Ethiopia
2:41
and the UAE Saudi Arabia is still
2:44
considering whether it will join and
2:45
aaban and Malaysia have formally applied
2:48
and it said that over another hundred
2:50
countries are also interested in
2:52
potentially joining the block um
2:54
speculation on Turkey started after
2:56
Bloomberg announced at the beginning of
2:58
this week that turkey a I should say had
3:01
submitted its bid to join bricks and
3:04
what makes this especially interesting
3:06
is that if now as seems likely when it
3:09
does so it will be NATO’s first member
3:11
to join and that makes it politically
3:14
significant even though up to now bricks
3:17
is an economic Forum more than a
3:19
political one turkey’s problem has
3:21
always been that despite its strategic
3:24
position between the East and the West
3:26
it’s never been able to play an
3:28
important role after after the Cold War
3:30
period when its importance in NATO as
3:33
the country with the second largest army
3:36
withered away and it’s similar to Russia
3:39
which many Americans after the Cold War
3:42
had arrogantly dismissed as just being
3:44
an outpost gas station with nuclear
3:46
weapons so turkey feels it’s an
3:49
important country which it is but that
3:51
it’s not taken seriously and going into
3:54
brics enables it to potentially play a
3:57
more important role bricks countries
3:59
presentent this multi-polar world order
4:02
which stands in contrast to the unipolar
4:04
dominance of the United States and the
4:06
Western allies which is epitomized in
4:09
the United Nations security Council
4:11
where for example economically dwindling
4:13
countries like the United Kingdom of
4:15
France are still being given a stature
4:17
Which is far more important than they
4:19
actually currently hold in the world and
4:21
is happening just due to historical
4:23
reasons and this is just one of the
4:25
reasons why the postor War II structures
4:27
created like the United Nations and you
4:29
could say the IMF and World Bank have
4:31
huge issues they just haven’t moved on
4:34
with the times now under President
4:37
erdogan turkey’s foreign policy has
4:40
shifted towards emphasizing the role of
4:43
its strategic autonomy to get back this
4:46
semblance of an important position it
4:49
had in the Middle East it has currently
4:51
improved relations both with the Saudi
4:53
Arabians and with Egypts with the Saudis
4:56
it was stressed relations since the
4:58
death of Jamal kosko and the support
5:00
that turkey gave to Qatar during its
5:03
boycott by the other GCC countries and
5:06
in February this year President erdogan
5:09
also made an important trip to Egypt and
5:12
president has just landed in
5:14
Turkey this is his first presidential
5:16
visit to Turkey in 12 years now these
5:19
ties had ended when Turkish Ally
5:22
president Muhammad Mori from the Muslim
5:24
Brotherhood was toppled by General
5:27
at the time in 2014 turkey has moved
5:30
towards balancing its strategic policy
5:33
now between the west and Russia and
5:35
China trying to carve a more independent
5:38
foreign policy to enhance its Global
5:41
influence and joining bricks is
5:43
basically a continuation of this turkey
5:46
despite being a NATO member maintained
5:49
relations with Russia even after the
5:52
western states impose sanctions on it um
5:56
following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine
5:59
it was clear on that that too we
6:00
appreciate the clear position adopted by
6:04
turkey turkey was very clear in its
6:07
position in condemning uh this war and
6:11
turkey has gone to Great Lengths to play
6:15
the role of a mediator which really
6:17
peeved the Americans but there is no
6:19
doubt that in the geopolitical order
6:22
it’s changing and turkey like other
6:24
countries sees which way the wind is
6:27
blowing turkey is potential entry into
6:30
bricks is not seen as an either or
6:32
situation by the Turkish political class
6:35
Turkish analysts have said that it’s
6:37
unlikely that they’re going to leave the
6:39
Western countries wholesale and this is
6:42
only a move to show themselves being
6:44
independent one president ardogan for a
6:47
long time has criticized Western
6:49
dominance in the world and in politics
6:51
for example criticizing the five
6:53
permanent members of the UN Security
6:55
Council so here it’s trying to look for
6:58
alternatives to this Western dominance
7:01
and it’s leading a dual strategy at the
7:02
same time uh we should not read this as
7:05
a pivot away from uh turkey moving away
7:08
from its traditional Western allies like
7:10
the us or the EU but it’s leading almost
7:12
a dual strategy anura will take pains
7:15
not to portray this uh as being
7:17
detrimental to its Western ties the
7:20
question however remains whether you can
7:22
actually do both at the same time given
7:25
the current uh uh scenario that’s
7:28
happening in the world where China and
7:30
Russia have become Bogies uh especially
7:33
for the Western uh countries turkey’s
7:35
also very upset with the EU and how
7:37
they’ve been treated by them uh turkey
7:40
has for decades longed to join EU and
7:43
signed its Association agreement with
7:46
the European community in
7:48
1963 it requested full membership by
7:52
1987 um an official EU memberships were
7:55
finally launched in 2005 but since then
7:58
they’ve stalled um where as other
8:00
countries who applied well after turkey
8:02
have joined and become full members I
8:05
did do a detailed video on Turkey
8:07
joining brics earlier this year and its
8:09
relations with the EU please do take a
8:12
look at it and I will add a link in the
8:14
um description as well now coming to the
8:17
United States uh turkey’s relationships
8:19
with the US have also been under huge
8:22
pressure since 2016 when President
8:24
erdogan fell over fell out with the US
8:27
with what the AKP describes as attempted
8:29
coup attempt by fah gulan who is based
8:33
in the United States turkey asked for
8:35
his extradition and the closure of his
8:37
schools in the United States and asked
8:39
for the group also to be declared a
8:41
terrorist group but the US did not
8:43
entertain these requests and just poo
8:45
hard over them um not making turkey feel
8:48
very good later in 2019 turkey also
8:51
entered a spat with the United States
8:53
over is purchase to buy the russian-made
8:55
S400 air defense system which saw the
8:59
country then being removed from the F-35
9:01
fighterjet program and the countries
9:03
also saw a downgrade in relations over
9:06
what the US believe were turkey’s
9:08
actions in Syria against the American
9:10
back Kurdish Fighters um these are the
9:13
fighters which turkey considers as
9:15
dangerous uh potential separat as well
9:18
at one point president Trump at that
9:20
time threatened to destroy Turkey’s
9:23
economy Trump said he was fully prepared
9:27
to swiftly destroy turkey as econ e if
9:30
Turkish leaders continue down this
9:33
dangerous and destructive path if Turkey
9:36
does anything out of what they should be
9:38
doing we will hit them so hard in the
9:40
economy I have told turkey that if they
9:43
do anything outside of what we would
9:46
think is Humane to use the word a second
9:49
time we talk about Hong Kong we talk
9:50
about this they could suffer the wrath
9:53
of a an extremely decimated economy and
9:57
recently president erdan canell his
9:59
visit to the US in May this year um and
10:02
it speculated that it was done over
10:04
differences in the Middle Eastern policy
10:07
that the United States had adopted in
10:09
light of the Israel Gaza crisis so
10:11
foreign policy aside though bricks also
10:13
allows new markets for turkey who’s in
10:16
dire economic Straits and has been for
10:18
several years and needs to improve its
10:20
economy it sees this as an opportunity
10:23
to connect with other bricks countries
10:25
on new projects especially those
10:27
launched by the bricks new development
10:30
bag which has just recently given South
10:33
Africa $1 billion for water projects the

bricks Nations account for over 40% of

10:42
GDP of approximately 26 trillion which
10:45
surpasses the G uh the G7 in purchasing
10:48
power parity economically and
10:50
demographically Bricks is a heavyweight
10:53
talking numbers brics versus G7 well the
10:56
GC G7 has a higher GDP Tech Ally but the
11:00
bricks has something even more powerful
11:02
people with over 3.4 billion people
11:05
brics represents nearly half of the
11:07
world’s population around 40 42% and
11:10
while G7 economies are well established
11:13
brics is where the growth is happening
11:16
29% of global GDP as compared to the
11:19
g7’s
11:20
43% however on a PPP basis they’re
11:23
bigger than the
11:24
36% uh compared to the g7’s 30% China
11:29
and India alone are economic powerhouses
11:32
growing at rates that G7 countries can
11:34
only dream of as bricks continues to
11:37
rise the global economic balance is
11:39
Shifting dramatically their economic
11:42
growth and increasing share of the
11:44
global trade challenges the dominance of
11:48
the western economies turkey like any

The BRICS trading system is already wiping out US farmers, as global price discovery is destroyed
Bideoa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqGZTJ6nVf8
You will learn about the BRICS trading system’s profound impact on global agriculture and US farmers. You’ll discover how this new system operates independently of the US dollar, disrupting traditional market dynamics. You’ll understand the challenges facing US farmers as they lose access to crucial market information. You’ll see how this lack of transparency is affecting price discovery and decision-making in the agricultural sector. You’ll grasp the significance of China’s strategic shift in agricultural imports and its cancellation of major US wheat orders. You’ll also learn about the technological advancements enabling BRICS nations to bypass Western financial systems. Finally, you’ll gain insight into the declining influence of the US in global trade and its unprecedented agricultural trade deficits. You’ll come away with a clear picture of how these changes are reshaping the global economic landscape.

flow of real-time information about
2:05
supply and demand has brought
2:07
implications for Global markets the lack
2:10
of transparency in global trade under
2:12
the bricks system is making it
2:13
increasingly difficult for decision
2:15
makers and Executives in Western
2:17
companies to understand market dynamics
2:19
they struggle to identify which parties
2:21
are driving demand or which suppliers
2:24
are emerging to meet that demand this
2:26
information vacuum is leading to a
2:28
situation where West e businesses are
2:30
often caught off guard only realizing
2:32
significant Market shifts after
2:33
substantial losses have already occurred
2:36
the repercussions of this new trading
2:37
Paradigm are being felt acutely by us
2:39
Farmers particularly those in
2:40
agriculture and extractive industries us
2:43
Farmers have long relied on accurate
2:45
Market data to make crucial decisions
2:47
about crop planning and timing they
2:49
invest heavily in professional advice
2:50
and closely monitor Futures markets to
2:52
guide their strategies however with the
2:54
brick system diverting trade away from
2:56
Western exchanges critical data on
2:58
global demand is becoming increasingly
3:00
scarce this unpredictability is
3:02
particularly damaging for us farmers who
3:04
are already grappling with Rising input
3:06
costs and thin profit margins as they
3:08
lose access to key information about
3:10
global demand and competition from
3:11
foreign producers it becomes
3:13
exponentially more challenging to
3:15
forecast prices and plan profitable crop
3:18
Cycles the situation is further
3:20
exacerbated by recent Trends in
3:21
agricultural trade for the first time in
3:23
history the United States is facing
3:24
significant agricultural trade deficits
3:27
traditionally hailed as the Bread Basket
3:29
of the world the us has been a net
3:30
exporter of agricultural products
3:33
however recent data paints a starkly
3:34
different picture the US has experienced
3:37
trade deficits and agriculture for four
3:38
out of the last 6 years with 2023
3:40
projected to set a new record high this
3:43
shift undermines the long-held belief
3:44
that the US can feed the world instead
3:46
us farmers are finding themselves
3:48
struggling to compete in a global market
3:50
where countries like Brazil are
3:52
increasingly dominating exports to Major
3:54
buyers such as China a pivotal moment in
3:56
this evolving narrative came in 2023
3:58
when China shocked us and Australian
4:00
agricultural markets by cancelling
4:02
unprecedented wheat orders the
4:04
cancellation totaled over 1.5 million
4:06
tons from the US and Australia marking
4:09
the largest such cancellation ever
4:11
recorded this dramatic move signaled a
4:14
significant shift in China’s trade
4:15
strategy the cancellations were
4:17
triggered by China finding cheaper
4:18
sources of wheat elsewhere likely from
4:21
Brazil and Russia what’s particularly
4:23
notable about this development is that
4:25
us analysts including those at Major
4:27
financial institutions like Bloomberg
4:29
were unable to track where China was
4:31
sourcing its wheat this inability to
4:34
monitor China’s purchasing activities
4:35
further underscores how bricks
4:37
transactions outside of traditional
4:39
systems have disrupted Western Market
4:41
monitoring capabilities this strategic
4:44
shift by China has had a cascading
4:45
effect on us agricultural exports the
4:48
cancellation of large wheat orders and
4:49
the subsequent drop in demand for US
4:51
exports have left American farmers in a
4:54
precarious position many are now forced
4:56
to sell surpluses to smaller markets
4:58
like Mexico rather than the higher
5:00
demand and higher paying Chinese market
5:02
they’ve traditionally relied upon the
5:04
rise of the bricks trading system isn’t
5:05
merely a matter of political will or
5:07
economic strategy it’s been made
5:09
possible by significant technological
5:11
advancements that are reshaping the
5:13
landscape of international finance the
5:15
bricks countries are leveraging
5:17
cuttingedge Technologies like
5:18
distributed ledgers and Central Bank
5:20
digital currencies cbdcs to enable fast
5:24
crossb transactions with zero settlement
5:26
costs these technological innovations
5:28
mean that brics Nations no longer need
5:30
to rely on the western dominated banking
5:32
system to settle trades this development
5:34
marks a turning point where the US and
5:36
its allies can no longer maintain the
5:38
level of control over global trade that
5:40
has been the status quo for the last
5:41
century the implementation of these new
5:43
technologies submit the transition to a
5:45
non-dollar based global economy EF they
5:48
provide the infrastructure necessary for
5:50
bricks countries to conduct large-scale
5:51
International Trade independently of
5:54
Western Financial systems this
5:55
technological Leap Forward is a key
5:57
factor in the rapid growth and
5:58
increasing influence of the bricks
6:00
trading system for over a century the
6:02
world has operated under a system where
6:04
US Dollars Banks and exchanges dominated
6:06
International Trade this dominance was
6:08
largely due to a lack of viable
6:10
alternative systems and Technologies
6:12
however the development of new trade
6:14
platforms by bricks countries and the
6:16
shift away from dollar-based
6:17
transactions are rapidly eroding us
6:20
dominance in global trade the
6:22
implications of this decline are far
6:23
reaching particularly for us farmers and
6:25
producers it means less control over
6:28
global markets falling prices and uh
6:31
increasing uncertainty about the future
6:33
of their Industries the ability to
6:34
dictate terms in international trade a
6:37
privilege long enjoyed by the United
6:39
States is slipping away as brics Nations
6:41
establish their own systems and Norms
6:44
the shift is not just about economics it
6:45
represents a fundamental realignment of
6:47
global power structures as the brics
6:49
trading system grows in influence it
6:51
challenges not only US economic
6:53
dominance but also its geopolitical
6:54
leverage the ability to control or
6:57
influence global trade has long been a
6:58
key pillar of us foreign policy as this
7:01
influence wains we may see significant
7:02
shifts in international relations and
7:04
Global governance the impact of these
7:06
Global shifts is starkly illustrated by
7:08
the recent emergence of agricultural
7:09
trade deficits in the United States
7:12
after Decades of consistent surpluses
7:13
the US agricultural sector is now facing
7:16
an unprecedented situation projections
7:18
for fiscal year 2024 indicate a record
7:20
$32 billion deficit following a 16.7
7:24
billion deficit in fiscal year 2023 this
7:27
marks the fourth agricultural trade
7:28
deficit in the last 50 years a trend
7:30
that has raised serious concerns among
7:31
policy makers and Industry experts this
7:34
reversal is particularly significant
7:36
given the historical importance of
7:37
agricultural exports to the US economy
7:40
for years us Farmers have relied on
7:42
strong export markets for products like
7:44
grains oil seeds and meat the shift to a
7:47
deficit position indicates a fundamental
7:49
change in global agricultural trade
7:51
Dynamics with far-reaching implications
7:53
for us farmers and the broader economy
7:56
several factors contribute to this
7:58
deficit situation on the import side
8:00
there’s been a significant increase in
8:02
Horticultural Imports which have risen
8:04
by 31% since 2020 this reflects higher
8:08
consumer demand for fresh produce driven
8:10
by Rising incomes and a strong US dollar
8:13
however it also highlights challenges in
8:15
domestic production including Urban
8:17
encroachment on agricultural land plant
8:19
diseases and most critically labor
8:21
shortages the largest contributor to the
8:23
US agricultural trade deficit is the
8:25
Horticultural sector which includes
8:26
fresh fruits and vegetables while
8:29
Imports in this category have surged
8:32
domestic production has been declining
8:33
due to a combination of factors Urban
8:36
expansion has reduced available Farmland
8:38
plant diseases have affected crop yields
8:39
and perhaps most significantly labor
8:42
shortages have made us specialty crops
8:44
less competitive on the global market
8:46
labor costs represent a particularly
8:47
acute challenge for us Farmers
8:49
especially in the fruit and vegetable
8:51
sectors where they can account for
8:52
nearly 40% of production expenses the
8:54
h2a temporary worker visa program while
8:57
providing a solution to labor shortages
8:58
comes with high costs in 2024 the
9:01
national adverse effect wage rate aewr
9:04
for h2a workers is $17.55 per hour with
9:07
rates in California reaching as high as
9:09
$19.75 these high labor costs combined
9:12
with growing competition from Imports
9:14
are putting immense pressure on us
9:15
producers further reducing domestic
9:18
production and contributing to the trade
9:21
deficit since 2021 us agricultural
9:24
exports have faced two key challenges
9:26
falling commodity prices and a strong US
9:28
dollar lower prices for staple crops
9:30
like corn and soybeans have reduced the
9:33
value of exports while the strong dollar
9:35
has made us products less competitive in
9:37
foreign markets these factors have
9:39
combined to weaken us export performance
9:42
significantly adding to these challenges
9:44
is rising competition from countries
9:45
like Brazil which has rapidly expanded
9:48
its agricultural production and Export
9:50
capabilities furthermore China’s efforts
9:52
to reduce dependence on us agricultural
9:54
Imports have dealt a blow to us farmers
9:56
who have long relied on the Chinese
9:57
market as a key destination for their
9:59
products the competitive landscape for
10:02
us agricultural exports has also been
10:03
shaped by trade policy the United States
10:06
has not signed any new free trade
10:08
agreements since 2012 while other
10:09
countries have continued to negotiate
10:11
favorable trade deals this has given
10:13
competitors an advantage in key us
10:15
export markets for example the
10:17
comprehensive and Progressive agreement
10:18
for trans-pacific partnership cptpp is
10:22
reducing tariffs for non-us exporters in
10:24
important Pacific Rim markets further
10:27
eroding us competitiveness the expanding
10:29
us agricultural trade deficit reflects
10:31
significant challenges facing the sector
10:33
including Rising labor costs declining
10:36
export competitiveness and increased
10:39
import competition addressing these
10:41
issues will require multifaceted
10:43
approach potentially including policy
10:44
changes to address Farm labor costs
10:47
efforts to negotiate better trade
10:48
agreements and increased funding for
10:51
international market promotion however
10:53
these Solutions must be considered
10:55
within the context of the broader shifts
10:57
and global trade Dynamics brought about
10:58
by the trading system as this
11:01
alternative system continues to grow and
11:03
evolve it will likely continue to
11:04
reshape the global agricultural trade
11:07
landscape presenting both challenges and
11:09
opportunities for us farmers and policy
11:12
makers in conclusion the rise of the
11:14
bricks trading system represents a
11:16
significant shift in global economic
11:17
power dynamics its impact on us farmers
11:21
and the broader agricultural sector
11:22
serves as a microcosm of the larger
11:24
changes occurring in international trade
11:26
as we move forward it will be crucial
11:28
for all stakeholders from policy makers
11:31
to Farmers to Consumers to adapt to this
11:33
new reality the future of global trade
11:35
is being Rewritten in the story of us
11:37
agriculture in this new era is still
11:39
unfolding thanks for watching geoflux

Palestine’s UN Ambassador Says West Bank Offensive About ‘Land’ Not ‘Security’ | Dawn News English
Bideoa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jisxoC2CnJk
Palestine’s UN ambassador, Riyad Mansour, condemned Israel’s offensive in the northern occupied West Bank, stating that while Israel claims it’s about security, it is actually creating insecurity. He emphasized that the real issue is the land.
Transkripzioa:
0:02
Mr Mr President members of the
0:05
council Israel has Unleashed a
0:08
full-fledged war against the Palestinian
0:11
People Israel is seeking to impose a
0:14
military solution to the conflict by
0:17
disappearing a
0:19
nation there is no denying these
0:24
facts from genocide to aperti Israel is
0:28
showing the world its willingness and
0:31
Readiness to use the most despicable
0:34
means to achieve its Colonial
0:37
aims
0:39
disposition
0:41
displacement Devastation destruction
0:45
death that is what it has been
0:49
inflicting on Palestinians for decades
0:53
but our people are enduring them today
0:57
at a scale never experienced since the
1:01
nakba instead of ending the nakba
1:04
Israeli fascist extremist leaders have
1:08
decided to try to bring it to its
1:11
ultimate
1:12
conclusion Palestine with no
1:19
Palestinians we should all know by
1:23
now
1:26
that
1:28
action by the isra
1:30
occupying
1:32
authorities criticism and concerns alone
1:36
have no bearing on a fanatical
1:40
government intent on committing the
1:43
worst crimes over and over and over
1:47
again no one here is naive enough to
1:51
believe that Israel will correct course
1:54
on its
1:56
own will suddenly respect international
1:59
law
2:01
you know the law you know that Israel is
2:05
breaching it flagrantly and
2:09
shamelessly every single
2:12
day you have
2:14
condemned called urged demanded to no
2:20
avail it is time for resolute
2:24
action and I totally agree with you Mr
2:27
President when you described the
2:29
tremendous amount of
2:31
frustration especially among the
2:33
Palestinian people for seeing the SEC
2:37
the security Council and the
2:39
International Community failing
2:41
them how can anyone justify sending
2:45
weapons to an army listed for its crimes
2:49
against our
2:50
children or provide any kind of support
2:54
to a government that is pursuing
2:56
annexation and genocide deny denying the
3:00
right of our people to
3:02
self-determination and denying our
3:04
nation and those compromising comprising
3:08
it their right to
3:10
life it cannot be
3:13
justified so do
3:15
not no arms no money no trade no Shield
3:21
to help Israel commit its crimes against
3:24
the Palestinian people in other words no
3:29
complicity
3:32
you cannot give inoculation and give
3:34
weapons to kill the children that you
3:36
inoculate against po
3:39
you measures sanctions warrants arrests
3:45
accountability in other words no
3:49
impunity that is the only way
3:53
for Mr President in recent days Israel
3:58
has killed over 30 Palestinians in the
4:00
West Bank among them six children and
4:05
two elderly
4:06
people it has destroyed refugee camps
4:10
and civilian infrastructure and besieged
4:13
and attacked hospitals and carried out
4:17
countless air strikes Janine is a vivid
4:22
example the number of Palestinians
4:24
killed in the West Bank including East
4:26
Jerusalem since last October stands at
4:30
seven at around
4:32
700 including over 150 children with the
4:37
number of injuries at 6,000 people over
4:42
3,300 Palestinians have been displaced
4:46
and over 12,000 people have been
4:49
arbitrarily
4:50
detained hostages endured and never
4:53
ending
4:55
nightmare in parallel Israel is
4:59
advancing its settler Colonial agenda
5:02
with more and more settlers installed
5:05
and more and more Palestinians
5:08
displaced Violence by settlers and
5:11
soldiers is spreading like wildfire to
5:14
push people out of their
5:17
Homeland Israel wants you to believe its
5:20
military aggression is about
5:23
security but it Knows by experience that
5:26
it is actually creating the conditions
5:29
of
5:30
security no one is naive enough to
5:34
ignore what this is about it is about
5:37
the land all Palestinians are guilty of
5:41
being Palestinians and for wanting to
5:44
live on their land the land of their
5:49
ancestors their
5:50
sentence ethnic cleansing apptide
5:55
arbitrary detention or death how long
5:58
will they have to suffer such a
6:01
terrifying
6:02
fate should we all pretend that we did
6:07
not see the keset vote against a
6:10
Palestinian
6:12
state that we did not see the terror
6:15
against Israeli settlers are
6:19
perpetrating that we did not see the
6:21
Palestinian people displaced over and
6:25
over again that we did not see the mass
6:28
killings and destruction that we did see
6:32
the map raised by Netanyahu where
6:35
Palestine was
6:37
disappeared that we did not hear an
6:41
ambassador sitting around this table
6:44
when he called the security Council
6:46
resolution
6:48
2334 and quote unquote evil decree
6:53
claiming those who respect international
6:55
law international law and the authority
6:58
of this country
7:00
are
7:01
terrorist should we pretend we don’t see
7:05
how fanatic how murderous how crazy how
7:10
contemptuous this Israeli government
7:13
is should we pretend that we never heard
7:17
of the UN Charter of the security
7:19
Council and general assembly resolutions
7:22
of the icj orders and advisory opinions
7:26
of the ICC of every single body every
7:30
ever established to uphold the rule of
7:33
law should we just ignore their
7:37
unequivocal determinations regarding
7:39
Israel’s unlawful actions their demands
7:43
for a halt to its human rights
7:46
violations and war crimes should we
7:49
allow Israel to continue its genocide
7:52
against the Palestinian people while
7:54
pretending to negotiate a
7:57
ceasefire don’t listen to to
8:00
me listen to the families of the Israeli
8:03
hostages I’m sure that all of you have
8:05
been watching CNN BBC and others for the
8:10
last few days what the Israeli families
8:13
are saying what the entire Israeli
8:16
population are doing including in t Aviv
8:19
and hundreds of thousands of
8:21
people they know Netanyahu does not care
8:24
about the hostages that’s what they say
8:27
and does not want a deal
8:30
they know that so-called military
8:32
pressure means genocide against innocent
8:36
Palestinians and certain death for
8:38
Israeli
8:40
hostages we said months
8:42
ago we need to spare civilian
8:46
lives Palestinian and Israeli I repeat
8:50
we said months ago in many of our
8:53
statements we need to spare civilian
8:55
lives Palestinian and Israelis we said
8:59
months ago we wanted to see Palestinian
9:02
and Israeli families reunited in life
9:05
not in death but Israel’s Colonial plans
9:09
require death to Prevail on both sides
9:13
to convince everyone there is no
9:16
solution impossible to ensure that there
9:19
can be no two states no two people
9:23
coexisting side by side we must not let
9:27
them Prevail I repeat we must not let
9:31
them Prevail or we will all pay the
9:35
price Mr President Palestinians in Gaza
9:38
have endured pain and loss that cannot
9:42
be
9:43
described that cannot be comprehended
9:47
given its
9:49
magnitude our colleagues from the
9:51
international
9:53
humanitarian the heroes who go and
9:55
provide our people with fabulous
9:59
services to to stay alive in the Gaza
10:02
Strip they tell us no matter how we
10:05
describe to you the horror of Gaza it’s
10:09
not like seeing it with your own eyes
10:13
that’s what they tell us that’s what
10:14
they tell
10:17
you as Israelis carries on with this
10:21
genocidal Onslaught those who have still
10:24
survived face violence and death at
10:27
every corner starvation and is hunting
10:31
them down besieged by trauma and despair
10:36
displaced from one bombed shelter to
10:39
destroyed hospital to mass grave to
10:43
another while we are grateful for the
10:46
international Mo mobilization through wh
10:50
unua and UNICEF and others to stop the
10:53
spread of polio among our children in
10:56
Gaza the fact remains israeli’s War
11:00
Machine continues
11:02
undeterred its bombs and missiles
11:05
killing and injuring every day it’s
11:09
degrading of Life conditions
11:11
spreading other diseases like wildfire
11:15
the vaccine campaign is an emergency
11:19
undertaking but not enough to stop the
11:21
loss of life and suffering how much more
11:25
is the International Community willing
11:27
to pay
11:29
the price for Israel’s crime when will
11:33
the time come that it insists that
11:36
Israel Bears the costs politically
11:39
morally and financially for its illegal
11:43
actions when will the time come when it
11:46
is decided to finally impose
11:49
consequences for such Defiance and
11:52
criminality when will you finally decide
11:55
to impose a ceasefire as you suggested
11:58
Mr President
11:59
in your statement several times and we
12:02
totally agree with you we need cease
12:04
fire cease fire now everybody is saying
12:07
that not only the Palestinians but the
12:10
millions of Israelis who are in the
12:12
streets who care about their hostages
12:15
and they’re saying to their leadership
12:18
which is not listening to them ceasefire
12:21
now close the deal accept you know the
12:26
the project or the proposal the table so
12:30
that we can stop the killing and save
12:33
everyone the Israeli who are hostages
12:37
and the Palestinians who are prisoners
