WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:22.519 Thank you for listening to Pictures Media Radio. Welcome to 2 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:28.879 Policy and Rights, the show about Dolcorent Policy and Human Rights. 3 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.079 Welcome back to Policy and Right here Fictions Media Radio. 4 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.480 I'm your host. Michael cloggs. Oh, yeah, as we know 5 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:08.079 that that it's one of the one of the the 6 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.439 problems that we're having right now is of course war 7 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:16.040 and it's been a part of human life for well, 8 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.200 it's been a part of human life for as long 9 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:25.159 as there's actually been human beings in disagreement that rather 10 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:30.439 than you using words and other ways of various communications, 11 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.640 that we just try to kill each other. All right, 12 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:42.040 that's out there and set Why is it that in 13 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:48.640 our modern error of humanity that everything has to be 14 00:01:48.719 --> 00:02:02.400 either polarized or politicized and Palestine versus Israel, Israel versus Lebanon, Israel, 15 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:09.159 versus versus Iran is isn't any different. It is becoming 16 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:18.479 a a political campaign when we look at look at 17 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:25.199 things that there there are innocent people dying. The media 18 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.840 is trying to paint it as that the people have 19 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.479 voted in terrorists because they want terrorists to run their country, 20 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:44.000 when that's not true that in many cases that warlord 21 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.319 factions who have taken over the territory and either you 22 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.599 vote the way they want you to or they will 23 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.400 flat out kill you, or that or that there's other 24 00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:05.759 economic reasons why your vote vote was was curbed. And 25 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:12.120 you heard in a previous episode when I was speaking 26 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:17.159 with another friend who is actually in Lebanon, who does 27 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:24.000 does not stand with He doesn't stand for Israel, doesn't 28 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.159 stand against Isel. He believes that Israel has to remain 29 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.560 as a state. We shouldn't go backwards, he but he 30 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.919 at the same time, he believes that Palestine should have 31 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:43.800 a place itself and that the Hamas on October seventh, 32 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.800 twenty twenty three, they did wrong and they should suffer 33 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:55.719 a consequence for the wrongdoings that they did. But that 34 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.759 shouldn't be polarized or politicized. That should just be a 35 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:06.639 thing that we know that if you take hostages, you 36 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:10.840 kill people, that there is a consequence. The same as 37 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.199 if you fire rockets at another country, there is going 38 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.519 to be a consequence. If you say that you want peace, 39 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.160 but you keep buying weapons and you keep firing those 40 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.439 weapons off, then there might be a problem with you 41 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:37.959 saying that you want peace. Okay, so at the same time, 42 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.079 when we look at other countries that are actually building 43 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:48.240 and supplying those same weapons, you say you want peace, 44 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.040 then you should be limiting the number of weapons that 45 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:58.800 are built and sold. That it should be a industry 46 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:06.839 that has a very limited a very limited profit margin, 47 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.000 because there is a control on how many weapons are 48 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:18.519 actually out there. But you say that you want peace, 49 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:27.879 and you say that you don't want the wars to continue, Okay, 50 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.879 then we're gonna add another layer to this. We're gonna 51 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.160 add a layer because you're gonna hear in the in 52 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.199 this episode, Pierre Pouvier and Justin Trudeau as they speak 53 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:51.120 about the actions that happened in in in Palestine and 54 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.319 Israel from last year and how the war is war 55 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.319 there is now a year old, and how they're commemorating 56 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:07.040 and memorializing the people who were killed a year ago 57 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:16.399 in Palestine in Israel because the Hamas did something. They 58 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:22.800 are also saying that asking for the mayors and the 59 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:32.439 premiers across Canada to do something about the anti sematic protest. 60 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:38.959 But it's how they're defining the anti sematic protests. If 61 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:49.879 you are saying that another country besides Israel deserves equal rights, 62 00:06:51.079 --> 00:07:02.600 then you're being anti semitic. There is is along with us. 63 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.240 I'm going to share a couple a couple of photographs 64 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.639 that a friend of mine, Bob Homer, took at a 65 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:20.240 rally in Vancouver, asking for the United Nations to come 66 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:26.560 up with a solution so that Palestine has a free state, 67 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:33.959 that Palestine will will also be recognized equally as a country. 68 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:42.199 And those types of rallies are now to be deemed, 69 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:49.720 according to Justin Trudeau and Pierre Pouvier, any somatic that 70 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.399 it shouldn't happen, and Justin Trudeau, as the Prime Minister 71 00:07:54.600 --> 00:08:04.000 of Canada is asking premiers and mayors to limit those protests. 72 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:13.199 That is one another another layer, another complete layer. We're 73 00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:18.160 also going to hear as Melody jo Lay speaks about 74 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:24.519 some of the things that Pierre Pouvier said, and she 75 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:29.519 is now campaigning for the Liberal government against the Conservative 76 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:36.639 government because she starts speaking about white supremacy. See people, 77 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.639 they could be sitting in Parliament on the Conservative side 78 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:53.960 of the table. Okay, So she accuses mister Povier of 79 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:59.799 speaking out of both sides, that he does not curb 80 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:04.919 anti symiticism in his party. So How can he stand 81 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.240 in front of a crowd of people and say that 82 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:16.080 he is in support of the Jewish people when he 83 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:21.879 won't curb the white supremacy people that are or get 84 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.879 rid of the the white supremacy people that are in 85 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:32.639 his party. Why does it have to turn into a 86 00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:37.080 political campaign? Okay, simply put, and this is my opinion, 87 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.559 and take it. Take it for as my opinion and 88 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:45.759 not necessarily as as fact. Even though there are some facts. 89 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:47.480 Fact that. 90 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:55.240 The the whole Zionist movement in the Middle East started 91 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:59.159 well over one hundred years ago. Matter of fact, he 92 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:03.120 can be it might be dated as far back as 93 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:16.879 the eighteen nineties. And another fact that at the end 94 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:29.600 of World War Two that the United Nations okay, at 95 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.159 the time, the United Nations was mostly the United States 96 00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:47.360 and the United Kingdom coming together and deciding that there 97 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.440 should be a Jewish state and placing that Jewish state 98 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.279 rights back in the middle of the Middle East and 99 00:10:54.360 --> 00:11:00.720 landing it in what we now know as Palestine. They 100 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.679 rounded people up into camps and they moved them from 101 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:18.759 their homes to other places around the Middle East. Okay. 102 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:28.960 And next next fact, okay, that there are probably in 103 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:32.799 the Middle East, there are there are let's look at 104 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.840 Let's look at Lebanon for an example. Okay, Lebanon is 105 00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.240 about sixty percent of the people there practice some form 106 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:48.759 of Christianity. Well, let's that's set for a second, and 107 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:56.320 let's think about what we here being reported to us 108 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:04.159 by other media sources. They're saying that it is a 109 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:14.600 completely Islamic state and that other religions such as Christianity 110 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:24.159 and Judaism aren't allowed to be practiced. But yes, Christianity 111 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:37.200 and Judaism are openly practiced in Lebanon. That before they 112 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:43.759 created the state of Israel out of as part of 113 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:49.919 what was Palestine, that there were already Jewish people living 114 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:59.080 in that area before they created it, and they welcomed 115 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:05.519 the Desionist movement to join in their community and live 116 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:18.360 peacefully among everyone who is there. Well, what happened? Why 117 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:21.960 is it that we see what we do today? If 118 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:27.399 those were if if what I just said is even 119 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:33.279 remotely true, So who is and I leave you with 120 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:38.240 this question, who is really promoting a war and who 121 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:44.240 and what owns most of the industry that creates the 122 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:51.360 weapons of war today? Okay, so w we we are 123 00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:56.240 gonna hear some recordings today. Uh from like I said, Uh, 124 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.120 we're going to hear from Justin Trudeau and Perre or 125 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.519 Povier as they were added address a very needed address. 126 00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.399 Let me let me make sure that we got this straight, 127 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:11.159 a very needed address on what is happening in the 128 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.720 Middle East and that we do actually need to curb 129 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:22.320 any bigotry towards the Jewish people in Canada, the United 130 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.879 States or anywhere else in the world. That does need 131 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:29.519 to actually happen. We don't need to see synagogues being 132 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:36.320 blown up or or defamed in in any way, the 133 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.559 same as we should not see any mosque or church 134 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:46.240 have that happen, or any other religious center be destroyed 135 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:52.080 or defamed. No, that is wrong. So this, this speech 136 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.000 does need to happen because we do need to speak 137 00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:03.000 to people so they understand that bigotry is not going 138 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.960 to be tolerated anywhere in the world. Okay, So we're 139 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.559 gonna hear from Justin Trudeau and Pierre Povier as they 140 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:14.399 do actually make some really important statements about bigotry. Were 141 00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:17.720 also are gonna hear from Antonio Guerrerez as he is 142 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:22.639 going to make a statement about the happenings and what 143 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:27.080 is ongoing in the Middle East. And we're also gonna 144 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:35.200 hear from uh Melanie jolt As she is speaking about 145 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:40.320 again what is happening in the Middle East and the 146 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:45.039 and they all are gonna make important statements. Understand the 147 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:50.399 importance of eliminating bigotry in the world and the the 148 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:55.000 importance of eliminating war in our world. As you listen 149 00:15:55.080 --> 00:16:00.399 to what these global leaders have to say out what 150 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.840 is happening in our world right now? 151 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:12.360 Good afternoon. 152 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.120 Second Chary John makes some remarks. 153 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:17.519 Then we'll have time for one or two questions. 154 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:23.000 The nightmare in Gaza is now entering an atrocious Abomino 155 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:27.759 noble second year. This has been a year of crisis, 156 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:34.720 humanitarian crisis, political crisis, diplomatic crisis, and the moral crisis 157 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:39.519 over the last year. Following the horrific terror attacks perpetrated 158 00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:44.000 by Hamas on seven October, Gaza has become ground zero 159 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.759 to a level of human suffering that is hard to fattom. 160 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:54.159 More than forty one thousand peoples have been reportedly killed, 161 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.639 mostly women and children. Thousands more are missing and believed 162 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.360 to be tre apt under the rubble. Virtually the entire 163 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.000 population has been displaced, and no part of Gaza has 164 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:11.480 been spared. Generalists have been killed at a level unseen 165 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.119 in any conflict in modern times, and humanitarians, those who 166 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:21.039 have dedicated their lives to helping others, are facing unprecedented 167 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:25.960 epic dangers. A record number, including so many members of 168 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:31.240 our Yun family, have paid with their lives. The vast 169 00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:34.960 majority of those killed were part of the backbone of 170 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:40.359 humanitary relief operations in Gaza Undhua in the midst of 171 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:46.440 all the upheaval. Undua moderan ever, is indispensable. Undua moder 172 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:51.519 than ever is irreplaceable. That is why I've written directly 173 00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:56.920 to Israeli Prime Minister Benjaminitaniau to express profound concern about 174 00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:01.680 draft legislation that could prevent UNRU from continuing its essential 175 00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:07.279 work in the occupied Palestinian territory. Such a measure would 176 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:11.559 suffocate efforts to its human suffering intentions in Gaza and 177 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:16.960 indeed the entire occupied Palestinian territory. It would be a 178 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:23.000 catastrophe in what is already an an mitigated disaster. Let's 179 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:25.920 be clear in practical terms what such a measure would 180 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:31.400 mean operationally. The legislation would likely deal a terrible blow 181 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:36.559 to the international humanitarian response in Gaza. Rous activities are 182 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.920 integral to that response. It's not feasible to isolate to 183 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.920 any an agency from the others. It would effectively end 184 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:50.440 coordination to protective and convoys, offices and shelters serving hundreds 185 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:56.079 of thousands of people. Without UGU, the delivery of food, shelter, 186 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.640 and else care to most Gazes population would grind to 187 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:05.079 a hole. Without UNDRU, Gazza's six hundred sixty thousand children 188 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.880 would lose the only entity that is able to restart education, 189 00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:13.920 risking the faith of an entire generation. And without UNDRUA 190 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.480 many health, education and social services would also end in 191 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:24.599 the occupied West Bank, including is Jerusalem. If approved, such 192 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:29.000 legislation would be diametrically opposed to the end Charter and 193 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:35.240 in violation of Israel's obligations under international law. National legislation 194 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:42.319 cannot alter those obligations, and politically, such legislation would be 195 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.400 an enormous setback to sustainable peace efforts and to a 196 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:53.279 Tuesday solution, fending even more instability and insecurity. This draft 197 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:58.240 legislation comes at the situation in which Gazza is in 198 00:19:58.279 --> 00:20:02.880 a death spiral. The latest developments in the North are 199 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:08.640 especially dire. We are witnessing a clear intensification of military 200 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:14.799 operations by Israel. Residential areas have been attacked, hospitals ordered 201 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:19.839 to evacuate, an electricity katoff with no fuel or commercial 202 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:24.759 goods allowed in Around four hundred thousand people are being 203 00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.319 pressed yet again to move south to an area that 204 00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:34.160 is overcrowded, polluted, and lacking the basics for survival. Consider 205 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.599 the situation for a family in the Jabali refugee camp 206 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.279 in the North. They were ordered to leave their homes 207 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:47.079 in October twenty twenty three active operations subsided and they returned. 208 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.440 They were runs again ordered to evacuate. In December twenty 209 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:57.400 twenty three, active operations subsided and they returned. They were 210 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.599 ordered again to evacuate. In May twenty two twenty four, 211 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:07.000 active operations subsided and they returned, and just these months 212 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:12.279 they were once again ordered to evacuate. The conclusion is 213 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:16.960 clear there is something fundamentally wrong in the way this 214 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:21.680 war is being conducted. Ordering civilians to evacuate does not 215 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.440 keep them safe. If they have no safe place to 216 00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:29.119 go and no shelter, food, medicine, or water, and no 217 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.519 place is safe in Gaza, and no one is safe. 218 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:39.079 International law is unambiguous. Civilians everywhere must be respected and protected, 219 00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:44.240 and that essential needs must be met, including true humanitarian assistance. 220 00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:49.839 All ostriches must be released, and I strongly condemn all 221 00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:56.960 violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza. Meanwhile, southern Gaza 222 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:01.960 is overwhelmed, supplies are running law and Israeli authorities are 223 00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:05.519 only allowing a single and safe road for aid from 224 00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:10.880 the Keremshalom crossing, where humanitarians face active hostilities and violent 225 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.519 armed looting fueled by desperation and the collapse of public 226 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:20.480 order and safety. I've worked for months of the risks 227 00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:24.480 of the conflict spreading, and the Middle East is a 228 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:29.519 powder keg with many parties holding the match. The situation 229 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.640 in the occupied West Bank is boiling over, and now 230 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.720 in Lebanon, attacks including on civilians, are threatening the entire region. 231 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.920 Over the last few days, exchanges a fire between as 232 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:46.200 Ball and others in Lebanon and the Israel Defense forces 233 00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:50.839 have intensified across the Blue line in total disregard of 234 00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.640 Security Council Resolution seventeen oh one and fifteen fifty nine. 235 00:22:55.880 --> 00:23:00.559 Large scale Israeli strikes deep into Lebanon, including Beirut, have 236 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.440 killed more than two thousand people over the last year, 237 00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:06.839 and one thousand, five hundred in just the past two 238 00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:12.119 weeks alone. The tall has already surpassed the twenty two 239 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:16.559 and zero twenty the two thousand and six war in Lebanon. 240 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.240 Attacks by Esbula and the other souls of the Blue 241 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:24.799 Line have killed at least forty nine people over the 242 00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:29.640 last year. Lebani's authorities report over one million people have 243 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.440 been displaced in Lebanon and three hundred thousand people have 244 00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:39.359 fled into Syria. Over sixty thousand people remain displaced from 245 00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:46.160 northern Israel. Recently, the IVF started in cussions across the 246 00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:49.279 Blue Line. We are on the verge of an all 247 00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:54.359 out war in Lebanon, with already devastating consequences, but there 248 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:59.440 is still time to stop. The sovereignty and territory integrity 249 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:03.240 of all kinds must be respected, and members of our 250 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.359 own peacekeeping force in Lebanon UNIFIL continue to carry out 251 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.920 their mandates to the extent possible. The mission relies on 252 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.799 full compliance by all parties, and I want again to 253 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:19.480 express my gratitude and admiration to our peacekeepers and troop 254 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:24.319 contributing countries. The men and women of Unifeel are serving 255 00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:29.680 in what is today the most challenging environment for peacekeepers anywhere. 256 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:35.440 All actors must ensure their safety and security, and we 257 00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:40.160 must do far more. On the humanitarian front. The four 258 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.440 hundred twenty six million US dollars in Meditanian ade appeal 259 00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:48.000 for Lebanon is only twelve percent funded. I urged donors 260 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.839 to step up. The ladies and gentlemen of the media. 261 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.440 The conflict in the Middle East is getting worse by 262 00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:00.119 the hour, and our warnings about the urific impact the 263 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:06.319 escalation keep coming to pass. Every air strike, every missile launch, 264 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.359 every rocket fired pushes peace further out of rich and 265 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:14.640 makes the suffering even worse for the millions of civilians 266 00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.799 got in the middle. That is why we cannot and 267 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.880 will not give up on our calls for an immediate 268 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:25.559 ceas fire both in Gaza and Lebanon, the immediate and 269 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.920 conditional release of hostages, and the immediate life saving gay 270 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.640 to all those who desperately needed. And that is why 271 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.880 we cannot and will not give up on our calls 272 00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.160 for irreversible action for a two stage solution between Israel 273 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:46.960 and Palestine. All people in the region deserve to live 274 00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:47.799 in peace. 275 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:53.599 Thank you, Thank you, mister Secretary General naviil abisab Alarabi 276 00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:59.799 TV station. Yesterday the Iranian Foreign Minister in Beirut said 277 00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.759 for the ceasefire to take place in Lebanon, it should 278 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.279 first take place in Gaza. Do you think this is 279 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:12.359 a constructive position and helps to reach a political solution? 280 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:17.680 And what's the first step about seventeen oh one, the 281 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:21.079 roadmap to implement seventeen o one, what should be the 282 00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:21.640 first step? 283 00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:26.400 We are asking for a ceasefire both in Gaza and 284 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:27.119 in Lebanon. 285 00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:30.480 Thank you, Yvonne Marie Irish Television. 286 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.160 Thank you very much. Sexually, General Levon Marie Arty News. 287 00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.960 My question is about you mentioned UNIFIL and the peacekeepers there, 288 00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:44.039 as you know the Israeli Army. The idea is set 289 00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:47.799 up a firing position right adjacent to out post six 290 00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.839 y five two, where Irish soldiers are currently stationed. What 291 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:56.599 are your concerns now as the fighting move forwards, moves 292 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.079 northwards towards larger UNIFIL camps. 293 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.079 We are naturally very concerned. Yesterday I had a chance 294 00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:07.559 to speak with your Prime Minister. And after that I 295 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.759 did a number of the march with different entities, and 296 00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:17.599 I can now tell you that those Israeli tanks and 297 00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:22.319 other armed elements that were around the six fifty two 298 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:29.400 positions have left, and I strongly appeal, strongly appeal to 299 00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:36.279 both parties to fully respect the safety and security of UNIFILM. 300 00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:39.119 Thank you very much, thank you, thank you very much. 301 00:27:52.400 --> 00:28:02.319 Good evening, as far Ron, Thank you, Adam merge U, 302 00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:10.039 Viksim Usurvivan, the Lata terrorist Gusett, doctor Perpetre Barramas, misur 303 00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:18.920 Tu Merci Davorgenzi at Ceremoni, solneregrand and Portans. Thank you 304 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.759 to the parliamentarians from all parties who are putting partisanship 305 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:27.279 aside to be here today, including members from my cabinet, 306 00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:33.240 Ministers Bill Blair, Meleni, Joli rif Errani, Mark Miller, Carriina Gould, 307 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:40.079 Gena Suddz, Terry Beach, Camelca, Brandy Bossaneau, Marcy, Ian Ritchie Valdez, 308 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:44.880 Ahmed Hussin and Stephen McKinnon, along with MPs Jasser Nacvi, 309 00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:49.720 Anita Vandenblt, Mari Franz Leland, Julie de Bruson, Valerie Bradford, 310 00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:55.519 Francesco Serbara, Judy Scrowe, Terry Dugod, Lisa Hepner, Ali Essassi, 311 00:28:55.839 --> 00:29:06.559 and Joyce Murray. Three hundred and sixty five days ago, 312 00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.039 we were all shaken to our very course. As we 313 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:17.640 Canadians woke up on a peaceful autumn morning, Israelis and 314 00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:22.960 Jews across the globe were living a nightmare. Twelve hundred 315 00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:28.480 innocents murdered, young revelers with their whole lives, whole lies 316 00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:33.839 ahead of them, slaughtered, entire communities burnt to the ground, 317 00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:45.039 children traumatized and orphaned, women raped and mutilated, Families shattered 318 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:50.680 and broken. Over two hundred and fifty people forced into 319 00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:54.359 captivity at the barrel of a gun. 320 00:29:54.519 --> 00:30:01.480 His single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. I 321 00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:05.200 want to sit with them for a second. Almost eighty 322 00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:10.160 years since the end of the Holocaust, almost eighty years 323 00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:18.000 since we collectively said never again. Terrorist organizations like Hamas, 324 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:23.640 like Hezbollah, like the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps still seek 325 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:29.200 to harm Jews just because they are Jews. That's not 326 00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:41.680 being a freedom fighter. It's terrorism, vile, anti Semitic terrorism, 327 00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.440 and it makes me sick to my stomach. But the 328 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:50.000 trauma of that day did not end on October eighth. 329 00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:54.799 What makes this barbaric attack that much more agonizing is 330 00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:58.960 the fact that you are reliving this nightmare every single day. 331 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:04.400 You relive it when cowards shoot and smash the windows 332 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:07.000 of your schools and synagogues in the middle of the night. 333 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:12.319 You relive it when Antisemites wave the flags of Hamas 334 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:16.960 and Hezbollah and the streets of our cities. You relive 335 00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:20.960 it when too many of our fellow Canadians downplay or 336 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:25.799 dismiss your pain, telling you that the generational trauma you 337 00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:30.400 carry and the anti Semitism you experience somehow isn't real. 338 00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:36.680 You relive it when the term Zionist is tossed around 339 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.599 as a profanity, a label for something other than what 340 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:45.240 it truly means, believing in the right of Jewish people, 341 00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.160 like all people, to determine their own future, a right 342 00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:53.680 this government supports and always will. No one in Canada 343 00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:57.720 should ever be afraid to proudly call themselves a Zionist. 344 00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:13.240 And somewhat ironically, you relive it when you must conceal 345 00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.480 the location of this very event for fear of violence. 346 00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:23.559 Let me be frank. I believe it is unacceptable for 347 00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:28.400 any of this behavior to be normalized. It is incumbent 348 00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:33.279 on me and on every leader, from premiers to police chiefs, 349 00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:38.240 to give anti Semitism no quarter, to stop this rising 350 00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:52.079 hate and to reverse its spread. And yet, in spite 351 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.279 of the pain that you live with every day, you've 352 00:32:55.279 --> 00:33:01.079 all shown your remarkable resilience. In the hours immediately after 353 00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:05.440 October seventh, you came together as a community to stand 354 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.359 by each other, to help those displaced by the attacks 355 00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:14.160 and the hostage families going through untold suffering. You've shown 356 00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:18.920 that the depravity of these terrorists will not break your spirit, 357 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.279 that they will not take away your joy. 358 00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:24.519 You continue to. 359 00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:28.000 Proudly embody the motto that defines what it means to 360 00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:34.119 be a Jew.
