BBC doing what they do best: push Israel's narrative. However, @hzomlot did a brilliant job of challenging the hypocrisy of the BBC👍👍. One of the best interviews I’ve seen.
Please watch the video below 👇
Some key points made my Husam.
▪️Do not under-estimate people's will and desire to end occupation
▪️Israel was meant to do one thing: end its occupation settlement expansion
International Governments were meant to provide accountability - they never did
Anchor: do you condemn Hamas?
▪️Don't equate the occupier and the occupied. This is not a war of equals.
From its establishment, Israel has ONE military doctrine: to go and fight civilians
When it fights, it fights civilians.
The real conversation is how do we stop this vicious deadly cycle.
(Anchor again tries to get him to condemn)
▪️You have interviewed hundreds of Israeli officials; how many times have you shown Israel committing war crimes live on your cameras - do you start by asking them to condemn themselves? Have you? ..You don't. I'll answer for you - you DON'T.
▪️I refuse to answer your question because I refuse the premise of it.
At the heart of your question is misrepresentation.
▪️It's always the Palestinians who are expected to condemn themselves.
This is a political conflict and we have been denied our rights for a long time
The right starting point is to focus on the root causes.
▪️You call me here when Israelis are killed - did you call me here when many Palestinians are killed - 200 over the last few months?
▪️Do you invite me when there are provocations from Israelis elsewhere?
2M have been taken hostage by Israel (Gaza)
▪️We need to stop this rhetoric and give the people some ugly truths sometimes.
Anchor: What is the solution?
▪️Equal application if international law and resolutions - like you did with Ukraine.
▪️Full apply the rules of the League of Nations and the UN. Israel has been the exception for the last 75 years.
▪️Israel is an occupying force - it is mean to provide protection for the people under its occupation.
As the UCL Somali Society, we wholly condemn the actions of the SYFI General Secretary. As a society we are responsible for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all our members. It is absolutely appalling that we have failed our sisters.
