00:00 Namaskar, welcome to another episode of editorial.
00:07 The world saw a brutal attack from Hamas, a brutal attack on Israel, killing women and
00:14 children.
00:15 Now, the story is changing.
00:19 Now the story is, the world is seeing a brutal retaliation from Israel.
00:29 Let us talk about this.
00:30 Let us get right into the show.
00:35 Now like I always say, let us first get informed of whatever is happening and then we will
00:41 spend two minutes talking about the analysis.
00:45 Now I am going to talk to you about one, two, three, four, five perspectives.
00:49 Five perspectives.
00:50 First is I will talk to you about the status.
00:52 The second is I will talk to you about the US perspective.
00:55 The third I will talk to you about the Iranian perspective.
00:58 The fourth I will talk to you about the United Nations perspective.
01:02 And finally, we will talk about the Palestinian perspective.
01:06 So I am going to talk to you about five perspectives, five reactions, five point of views and then
01:11 we will talk our analysis.
01:12 We will draw our analysis.
01:14 This is how I intend to do my editorial and here goes.
01:21 Like I said, more than 4000 people have died and most of them now Palestinians.
01:29 On 13th of October, Israeli military aircraft dropped thousands of leaflets on the northern
01:34 Gaza Strip, warning residents in the part of the Palestinian territory to evacuate its
01:41 southern half.
01:43 The Israeli military informed the United Nations late Thursday night that the entire population
01:49 in northern Gaza should evacuate south almost immediately.
01:55 One point one million people, they were dropped leaflets and told evacuate immediately.
02:03 If you do not, you will face consequences.
02:06 What are the consequences?
02:08 Death.
02:10 United Nations was not asked, not consulted, not negotiated with, but told, "Yeh khaali
02:22 hona chahiye".
02:24 This was what Israel did on Friday.
02:28 According to United Nations, about one point one million people live in north Gaza, the
02:35 most densely populated part of the territory, one point one million people, 11 lakh people
02:42 stay in Gaza.
02:43 And imagine, imagine your town, your city, 11 lakh people, if you are told that in 24
02:52 hours, evacuate.
02:53 If you don't, you will face the consequences.
02:57 What will happen to you?
02:59 Imagine, I just want you to empathize this.
03:02 Imagine what panic would set into your family, your people, your children, the old people
03:09 at home.
03:12 What panic?
03:14 And they don't have a choice.
03:16 The kind of bombarding that's happening, don't have a choice.
03:21 So you either evacuate, no matter how, whatever way, or you face the consequences, you face
03:28 the bombs.
03:30 This is what the United Nations said.
03:31 The United Nations actually said that it considers this impossible for such a movement to take
03:38 place without devastating humanitarian consequences.
03:41 The United Nations strongly appealed for any such order, if confirmed to be rescinded,
03:47 avoiding what could transform what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation.
03:55 The United Nations said, please don't pass an order like this.
03:59 This will lead to calamity and which it will.
04:03 And to which the Israeli response was that to Israel's early warning to the residents
04:09 of Gaza, Israel's UN ambassador Gilad Erden said that it was shameful and ignores the
04:17 brutality of the attack on Israel.
04:20 Yes, nobody denies the brutality of attack on Israel by Hamas.
04:28 Nobody denies that.
04:30 But to retaliate and retaliate in such a way that you cause damage to humanity, 1.1 million
04:41 people just asked to go.
04:43 Let me give you Joe Biden's response.
04:49 The American response.
04:52 The American response after the Israeli asked these people to evacuate in 24 hours was that
04:59 I think it's a big mistake.
05:02 Look what happened in Gaza.
05:03 In my view is Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don't represent all the Palestinian
05:09 people, he said.
05:10 I agree.
05:11 Hamas doesn't represent all the Palestinian people.
05:14 Hamas attacked you.
05:17 Attack Hamas back.
05:18 Pin them down.
05:19 You allow Israel, you've got one of the best security forces.
05:23 Pin them down, attack them.
05:26 What are you attacking common people for, civilians for?
05:29 This is what Joe Biden said.
05:30 The Israel are going to do everything in the power to avoid killing of innocent civilian.
05:36 This is what Biden hoped that they are going to do everything to avoid killing civilian
05:41 people.
05:42 But that's not what's happening at all.
05:45 These 4000 people who died are not military people.
05:48 They are not terrorists.
05:49 They are civilians.
05:51 So that's not what's happening.
05:52 Now let's go to the Iranian perspective.
05:57 The Iranian perspective, Iran says that if the measures aimed at immediately stopping
06:02 the Israeli attack that are killing children in Gaza Strip end in a deadlock, it is highly
06:09 probable that many other fronts will be opened.
06:12 The option is not ruled out and this is becoming increasingly more probable.
06:17 If the Zionist entity decides to enter Gaza, the resistance leaders will turn it into a
06:23 graveyard of the occupation soldiers.
06:26 Now the reason I read the Iranian response is because these are people, Iranian soldiers
06:33 are not there with the Gaza.
06:36 These are countries other than sorting the problem out, other than getting people to
06:41 come to a negotiating table, other than making them sit down and say, listen, you know what,
06:46 stop killing.
06:47 Children are dying.
06:48 These are people who are adding fuel to fire.
06:51 Iran is adding fuel to fire.
06:54 Because if Iran's idea or Iran's interest was the people of Palestine and the children
07:00 and the women and the innocent people of Palestine, then they would have not added fuel.
07:05 They would have called for a peace talk.
07:08 That is what civilized countries and civilized brains do.
07:12 When there is a conflict, you call for a peace talk, two people fighting, you go to one person
07:16 and say, isko aur maara, do aur idhar de.
07:19 Is that what you are trying to do?
07:21 For whose interest?
07:22 Whose interest do you have in mind?
07:24 Now let me get to more serious, that is the UN perspective, which I really want you to
07:27 hear.
07:30 In this dramatic moment, we are on the verge of the abyss in the Middle East.
07:37 It is my duty as Secretary General of the United Nations to make two strong humanitarian
07:42 requests, said Antonio Guterres.
07:46 He said his appeal to Hamas was to immediately release the hostages without conditions.
07:53 The Israel should grant rapid and unimpeded access for humanitarian aid for the civilians
08:00 of Gaza.
08:01 He said two requests.
08:02 First is, Baba, please, Hamas, hand over the hostages, 199 hostages you are holding, hand
08:11 over those hostages back to Israel.
08:13 And Israel, stop, do not put impediments to the relief work that we are doing.
08:19 Two simple humanitarian requests he had.
08:22 Our selfless staff on the ground along with the RNGO partners need to be able to bring
08:28 these supplies into and throughout Gaza safely.
08:32 This is what Mr. Guterres said.
08:35 Now speaking from East Jerusalem, the UN agencies dealing with this crisis, that is UNRWA, that
08:45 is United Nations Relief Work Agency, they said that operations are the largest United
08:53 Nations footprint in Gaza Strip.
08:56 And we are on the verge of collapse.
08:59 Not one drop of water, not one grain of wheat, not one litre of fuel has been allowed into
09:07 Gaza Strip for the last eight days.
09:11 Not one drop of water, not one grain of food and not one drop of fuel.
09:20 Imagine 1.1 million people.
09:23 Imagine their lives.
09:25 This is what United Nations said.
09:27 In fact, they said Gaza is being strangled and it seems that the world right now has
09:33 lost its humanity.
09:34 This is what United Nations said.
09:39 Now let me come to the Palestinian perspective.
09:45 Palestinian President Mohammed Abbas has told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that
09:51 he rejects the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, following Israel s order for all
09:58 of the enclave civilians to move to the south.
10:01 He also said that the humanitarian corridors must be allowed in the blockaded coastal enclave
10:07 immediately to prevent humanitarian disaster.
10:11 This is what the Palestinian had to say.
10:14 Now let us come to our analysis.
10:21 You see, till now the whole world was talking about Hamas and its brutality.
10:30 Till now the whole world was calling a terrorist out, that is Hamas.
10:37 Till now.
10:39 But all of a sudden things are changing.
10:43 Israel s brutality seems to be exceeding Hamas s.
10:49 The point that I am trying to make is what Hamas did was wrong and there is no doubt
10:54 about it.
10:55 We all condemn it to the core.
10:59 But now what is happening in Gaza Strip by strangling 1.1 million innocent women, children,
11:08 civilians.
11:09 That is too much of a brutality.
11:11 That s too much of a retaliation.
11:13 This is beyond humane.
11:16 This is inhumane.
11:17 That s the point number one.
11:20 Point number two is the world opinion is also changing.
11:25 Biden is also once where the same Biden who said that, you know, we are there, not a worry,
11:30 we are there with everything what Israel does and all that.
11:33 Biden is also changing.
11:36 The whole world, whole world perspective is changing.
11:38 There is somewhere down the line Israel needs to stop.
11:43 Enough.
11:44 Enough.
11:45 Your problem is Hamas.
11:46 Tackle Hamas.
11:48 Do what it takes to pull them down.
11:51 But not the Palestinian people.
11:53 Point number three is you are undermining the United Nations.
11:59 You have decided that you are going to take charge of Gaza.
12:02 You are going to evacuate people from Gaza.
12:04 You are going to throw people, throw Palestinians away from Gaza.
12:07 United Nations is pleading to you, pleading to you to ensure that send one grain of food,
12:15 one grain of food to eat, one drop of water, one drop of fuel.
12:20 United Nations is pleading to you.
12:22 You are undermining United Nations.
12:26 And the last point is, what are you saying?
12:30 Is Israel actually saying that Hamas equals Palestine?
12:34 Are you giving that much importance to Hamas?
12:36 Do you think Hamas represents every Palestinian?
12:40 Are you saying that?
12:42 If you are saying that, then you are giving validity to a militant organization, to an
12:45 extremist organization.
12:46 You are giving validity to them.
12:49 So why are you doing it?
12:51 The point that I am trying to say is this situation, like I told you day one, this situation
12:56 is getting more and more dangerous.
12:59 Certain countries are putting fuel on the fire to ensure that it burns more because
13:05 it doesn't affect those countries.
13:06 Certain countries are, they have changed their stance, but yeah, I mean, doing nothing concrete.
13:13 The point is, today, I think the entire world needs to come together asking for peace, asking
13:20 Israel to stop, asking people to sit together and discuss and sort this matter out.
13:27 It has come to that stage.
13:29 It has come to that stage.
13:31 Else the world is going to see another disaster, another massive disaster, which generations
13:37 will not forget.
13:38 This is the point I wanted to make.
13:41 Till I see you next time.
13:43 Namaskar.
