General Charles de Gaulle in 1967 said: “Israel is organising an occupation of the territories it has captured, which can only result in oppression, repression and expulsion, and there is resistance in those territories that Israel will then call terrorist.”
de Gaulle was remarkably familiar with terrorism in Paris in 1961, or Aussaresses in 1957 (in fact, Devigny, "A Man Escaped", in 1957). C'est dur, Henri.
Mouin Rabbani is honestly one of the foremost authorities on the subject, if not the foremost. Clarity, intelligence and humanity in one. Truly fascinating listening, wonderful man.
I simply have no words to condemn the barbaric government currently in power in Israel. As for the US backing for the massacre of children in gaza and now Lebanon words fail me. As a westener, im totally disgusted with the west especially the US.
i wish it were just current governments that is the issue but sadly its a systemic issue with the US and Israel. it really doesnt matter who is on power in israel or the US they are literally built upon these types of actions.
If it's any consolation, you feeling down about the injustice and horror we are all witnessing is absolutely normal. As normal people are sensitive and upset at the horrors of children dying. Anyone who isn't down about children being murdered is simply abnormal. The world is against these atrocities, only the fools, the ignorant and the down right nasty cannot feel the suffering of the oppressed, whoever and wherever the oppressed may be. So know you are depressed because you care and because you care you are on the right track above all else. Maybe try a break and recharge your batteries, don't feel guilty for enjoying life. Recharge and don't give up the fight against any oppression, who knows when it is your time to stand tall and be the voice when others are silent ❤

Thank you Owen, for bringing Mouin Rabbani, whose voice and expertise is so valued and necessary in these genocidal times that the world is living in. Some days I cannot believe the assault on humanity has gone this far and continues. May Palestine, Lebanon and the entire world have peace, without the terrorists of Israel wreaking havoc around the globe.
So tell me: Has Lebanon been at peace since 1975? Has Syria? What about Yemen? how were "the terrorists of Israel" disrupting their "peace"? What about Somalia, Nigeria, Myanmar, Bangladesh? Any "Israeli terrorism" there? How deliberately obtuse and ignorant can one be to parrot such hateful slurs?
The assassination of Hassan Nasrallah would undoubtedly provoke intense political and social repercussions, exacerbating existing tensions in the region. Such actions often lead to cycles of violence, retaliation, and further loss of life. It's essential to remember that behind geopolitical maneuvering are real human lives, families, and communities that suffer the consequences of these decisions. The potential for increased instability and conflict serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and horrors of prolonged warfare and assassination strategies. Dialogue and diplomacy should always be prioritized to prevent further escalation and tragic loss.
The real tragedy here is that neither Israel nor the US see the people bombed in this conflict as fully human. Or at least not equal in value as themselves or perhaps the people of Ukraine. So they just don't care about the lives disrupted or lost.
Completely agree. This is a senseless spiraling that will lead to more death. Where will this end? Use of nuclear weapons? And after that, what? Just let it be peace. I hope Iran will not retaliate! I hope, to be honest, that Hizbollah would not escalate the cicle too. Peace for all! Just let it be peace🙏🙏🙏
It's likely to do the opposite. Hezbollah is finished. Iran is so humiliated that it can't support its allies, it's finished as a regional player. Israel has humiliated in Iran about 8 times their population.
No, it's clear that you didn't live through the era when Kissinger was Secretary of State. He was the most Satanic man to ever be so central to American administrations.

Thanks for this excellent interview and analysis. It seems to me that the "genocidal mania" of Israel's civilian population is, in a way, matched by the sociopathology of a large part of the civilian populations of the US and other western countries, which allows for their governments to feel safe continuing to support Israel's actions.
There are many people in Israel and western countries that oppose the treatment of the Palstinians. They just get suppressed, oppressed and persecuted.
In this interview, Rabbani provides one of the most profound and coherent observations of what is happening before our eyes in Israel, Palestine and Lebannon. Given what the United Nations is now doing by recognizing Palestine as a sovereign state, the myriad of speakers in the General Assembly and the International Court of Justice excoriating Israel for the undeniable genocide it is purveying in Gaza and the West Bank and now it's murderous incursions into southern Lebannon, and adding ito that equation the fact that the US and Great Britain are allowing Israel to continue with its slaughter of innocents unabated and uncontrolled, I can only see a wider regional war developing in months which has the almost predictable effect of escalation after escalation like some deadly chess match where, in the end, the board will be wiped clean and Israel will no longer be standing - and maybe other countries in the Middle East. The only question now worth asking is how far the Americans and the British will invest their futures in supporting Israel in what will inebitably be a lost cause with dire - if not existential - consequences for the entire planet.
Mouine Rabbini is a very clear headed and important analyst. I have listen to him on several channels. Thank you brilliant Owen Jones for bringing him on yours! In times of the darkness of denial and lies. We have to becomme clear headed and stay sane and rational. We have to remember that it is always darkest before the dawn.
Israel's narrative of using human shields to justify civilian casualties in Gaza and Lebanon has been widely criticized. While the Israeli media and domestic information suggest a focus on vengeance and collective punishment, the underlying moral implications of a society that elevates a rapist as a role model are deeply concerning. Such a societal choice raises questions about its values and priorities.
Israel received an $8.7 billion aid package from the United States to support its ongoing military efforts. "To Maintain a Qualitative Military Edge in the Region."

Did Netenyahu know exactly what was taking place in Beirut as he was speaking at the UN in New York.Iread that U S intelligence was informed 2 minutes before the strike.If so,it would appear Israel is telling the world it will not heed any country.
@@rebeccafowler5352I have also heard he ordered the strike from the UN building itself. I guess we will find out in the next couple of days which one is more accurate.
I am sad and also angry about this, not for Nasrallah but for the fact that his death has everyone glossing over the fact that Israel bombed the hell out of civilian areas in Beirut with bunker busters, and the west is applauding him for that as they did in Gaza. So more to follow soon. The Israelis know now they can do anything at this point as long as they control the narritive. And a second point, wheter we like it or not, Israel has been on a roll this past week ever since it added Lebanon on their war goals list, and they have definately regained a sense of invincibility and deterrance to all its enemies accross the region and beyond.
Is this a coincidence that when natin yahoo addressing in us parliament his assassins killed ishmael hania. And now he was addressing in UN and this time he killed hassan nasarullah.
One of the most eloquent Palestinian analysts I’ve come across. Every point he makes is well thought out, historically accurate and poignant.

The potential for increased instability and conflict serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and horrors of prolonged warfare and assassination strategies. Dialogue and diplomacy should always be prioritized to prevent further escalation and tragic loss.
The real tragedy here is that neither Israel nor the US see the people bombed in this conflict as fully human. Or at least not equal in value as themselves or perhaps the people of Ukraine. So they just don't care about the lives disrupted or lost.
In Israel there is a racist attitude towards Arabs and especially Palestinians. It's wrong.
Completely agree. This is a senseless spiraling that will lead to more death. Where will this end? Use of nuclear weapons? And after that, what? Just let it be peace. I hope Iran will not retaliate! I hope, to be honest, that Hizbollah would not escalate the cicle too. Peace for all! Just let it be peace🙏🙏🙏
@@felicitynefdt9926 I believe it is these people who have culturally placed a value on their own lives.
It's likely to do the opposite. Hezbollah is finished. Iran is so humiliated that it can't support its allies, it's finished as a regional player. Israel has humiliated in Iran about 8 times their population.
Muin, you are a real gentleman. You thanking Owen for standing with the Palestinians gave me goosebumps. Thank you Owen.
When it comes to committing genocide, Biden puts Kissinger to shame.
Except Kissinger hand picked the targets in Cambodia he wanted hit.
Biden is a puppet
No, it's clear that you didn't live through the era when Kissinger was Secretary of State. He was the most Satanic man to ever be so central to American administrations. NO ONE comes anywhere near to the capacity for imposing human misery that Henry Kissinger did. The world is still shuddering through the repercussions (decades afterward) of decisions which he essentially engineered.
Kissinger's bombing by US forces of Kampuchea and Laos killed over a million.
Biden is a front man. Barely that. Get with the program.

If Netanyahu was the leader of some small African or Balkan nation, the US and others would have sanctioned or arrested him by now and sent him to the Hague. But, in spite of their rhetoric, he's doing the dirty work of the US which isn't in opposition to its foreign policy goals regardless of the human cost. They don't consider the Palestinians to be humans anyway.
Absolutely correct. US is number on Culprit and criminal. Both must be punished.

IDF headquarters. Tel Aviv. Most populated city in Israel .

Yeah. I don't get why they don't get called out as "using human shields" for having their HQ in a densely populated city, with a complex tunnel system underneath (to my knowledge), to boot.
If zi0n logic applies to THAT.....
Actually there are more people in Jerusalem than Tel Aviv.

I'm not a mathematician, which do you think is the bigger number ??
Either way . IDF use Isreali citizens as human shields around thier headquarters.
Thanks for this excellent interview and analysis. It seems to me that the "genocidal mania" of Israel's civilian population is, in a way, matched by the sociopathology of a large part of the civilian populations of the US and other western countries, which allows for their governments to feel safe continuing to support Israel's actions.
There are many people in Israel and western countries that oppose the treatment of the Palstinians. They just get suppressed, oppressed and persecuted.
History of resistance shows with every assassination, resistance becomes more powerful.
Mossad headquarters: central Tel Aviv.
Yup, carefully positioned eh
That's the hypo racy......human shield...
Yes, downtown, and nowhere near civilian buildings, much less in the basements of such structures.

In this interview, Rabbani provides one of the most profound and coherent observations of what is happening before our eyes in Israel, Palestine and Lebannon. Given what the United Nations is now doing by recognizing Palestine as a sovereign state, the myriad of speakers in the General Assembly and the International Court of Justice excoriating Israel for the undeniable genocide it is purveying in Gaza and the West Bank and now it's murderous incursions into southern Lebannon, and adding ito that equation the fact that the US and Great Britain are allowing Israel to continue with its slaughter of innocents unabated and uncontrolled, I can only see a wider regional war developing in months which has the almost predictable effect of escalation after escalation like some deadly chess match where, in the end, the board will be wiped clean and Israel will no longer be standing - and maybe other countries in the Middle East. The only question now worth asking is how far the Americans and the British will invest their futures in supporting Israel in what will inebitably be a lost cause with dire - if not existential - consequences for the entire planet.
Mouine Rabbini is a very clear headed and important analyst. I have listen to him on several channels. Thank you brilliant Owen Jones for bringing him on yours! In times of the darkness of denial and lies. We have to becomme clear headed and stay sane and rational. We have to remember that it is always darkest before the dawn.
Long live Palestine
Not a possible chance of that, Palestine is gone forever, thanks to their inability to be a civilised people

Great discussion; very illuminating!
I pray for peace, but i also pray Israel, America, Europe and others receive justice.
If you get your wish you will not like it.
Great interview.
Israel's narrative of using human shields to justify civilian casualties in Gaza and Lebanon has been widely criticized. While the Israeli media and domestic information suggest a focus on vengeance and collective punishment, the underlying moral implications of a society that elevates a rapist as a role model are deeply concerning. Such a societal choice raises questions about its values and priorities.
Absolutely
Israel received an $8.7 billion aid package from the United States to support its ongoing military efforts.

I totally agree with the analyst , the arabes nations are not united against the evil Israel and I can’t understand why .
Money and corruption.
Because they hate each other. Shiites V Sunnis if you do not know that, perhaps you should not comment.

thank you Owen. Mouin is clearly an authority on the reality of the situation of the region. I do not listen to or watch any of the british broadcasters as this man would never be given his voice, far less a platform on their disgraceful, controlled broadcasts. This man tells the truth.
Did Netenyahu know exactly what was taking place in Beirut as he was speaking at the UN in New York.Iread that U S intelligence was informed 2 minutes before the strike.If so,it would appear Israel is telling the world it will not heed any country.
Boohoo. Go get a latte and a ticket to Beirut.
He gave the order to strike from his hotel room just before addressing the UN.
@@rebeccafowler5352I have also heard he ordered the strike from the UN building itself. I guess we will find out in the next couple of days which one is more accurate.
@@jimseltzer2002 you must be happily living on land you stole from its lawful owners
I am sad and also angry about this, not for Nasrallah but for the fact that his death has everyone glossing over the fact that Israel bombed the hell out of civilian areas in Beirut with bunker busters, and the west is applauding him for that as they did in Gaza. So more to follow soon. The Israelis know now they can do anything at this point as long as they control the narritive. And a second point, wheter we like it or not, Israel has been on a roll this past week ever since it added Lebanon on their war goals list, and they have definately regained a sense of invincibility and deterrance to all its enemies accross the region and beyond.
Same!
Absolutely SICKENING.
HUMANITY DIED IN GAZA
And intelligence never lived!
Is this a coincidence that when natin yahoo addressing in us parliament his assassins killed ishmael hania. And now he was addressing in UN and this time he killed hassan nasarullah.
One of the most eloquent Palestinian analysts I’ve come across. Every point he makes is well thought out, historically accurate and poignant. It’s precisely experts like rabbani that should be given the opportunity to create a plan for the future Palestinian state by the UN and end the war perpetuated by the lunatic colonial genocidal state of Israel.
