i am daniel jadwe, a citizen of chile, originally from palestine, born like so many other palestinians around the world in the diaspora. chile has one of the largest communities outside the arab world. it is said that we are close to 300 thousand, but we are millions spread across the face of the earth, far from our homeland, but committed to the identity, history and struggle of our... more than half of gaza's population is at risk of dying from hunger today, the un has warned, but we know that this did not start on october the 7th. let's watch this following video to delve deeper into this dramatic topic. este tema tan dramƔtico.
4:32 pm
we need more help, as has already been said, we are seeing that we may be on the brink of famine in this region. they need supply, they need medical supplies, but the first thing they'. for is food and
4:33 pm
water, they don't have the most basic things. everyone knows that the use of hunger as a weapon of war is a crime against humanity. however, israel has been using this strategy to fulfill one of the fundamental objectives of this genocide, which is to force the mandatory displacement of more than 2 million palestinians to usurp the land. they want their land without its inhabitants. let's see, let's let's go deeper, let's analyze the situation with the following video. our
4:34 pm
correspondent in gaza huda hijazi in gaza huda hegazi. according to a report released by unicef, there are 335,00 children under 5 years of age who live in the gaza strip. they are at high risk of severe malnutrition and death as famine increases. in recent weeks, at least 10 thousands of them suffer from levels of malnutrition that are threatening their lives and it is defined as severe wasting that is a weight well built. so normal, one of the main causes of this widespread health problem is the small quantity and poor distribution of humanitarian aid that enters the area. there is little humanitarian aid and widow food. there is a man who prepares food for us from time to time and gives each person a spoonful of food. we only ask that they provide us with at least one meal a day, whatever, lentils, beans, broad beans. we don't order meat, we didn't order land, we only has to be able to... defeat our children, there are
4:35 pm
days when we don't eat anything because we depend on the charity of some people, we are starving. on december 22nd, the un security council approved resolution for the immediate delivery of more humanitarian aid to the gaza strip and urgent measures to create the conditions for sustainable succession of facilities. however, until now we haven't noticed any increase in the average number of humanitarian aid trucks entering the strip. it is about 100 trucks a day which does not cover even 10% of gaza's needs. the aid is not enough since we are talking about town of 2.3 million people, before about 500 trucks enter. daily these days between 20 and 30 trucks are entering, how are they going to supply all these people? everything is insufficient and cannot supply this population. the aid that enters gaza is collected by onra, the united nations agency for palestinian refugees, so that it is responsible for distributing the aid among
4:36 pm
the evacuees. however, this aid, which is insufficient is not distributed equally, and the majority is distributed only to people who are in the schools or refugee camps of this organization. likewise, more than 60% of the evacuees are in places outside the on-rock control perimeter and do not receive this help. we have only received one piece of humanitarian aid in the 20 days we've been here and it only consists of canned food and stale bread. when we go to ask for help, they tell us that we should receive it from the musk. we even have to buy water with our money. we can't find food. we eat a kind of... means all day, my children ask me eat chicken or meat, but i can't buy it, we can't even buy lentils. help comes in every day, but where does this aid go if we do not receive it? we have not received help for more than 15 days, just nothing. most cousins
4:37 pm
are no longer seeking humanitarian aid, but rather an end to the war so they can return to their homes and live in dignity. they assure that the... are tired of having to be under israeli occupation and affirm that they are willing to resist until they achieve their freedom and put an end to the crimes committed by this hated regime against the palestinian population. my message is that i hope the war is over and people can't return to their homes. we don't want hell, we want each person to return home and be reunited with their family. there are many families that are separated and are losing many of their members, so we don't think mainly about eight, but rather we think about returning. to our lands and to gaza. 85% of an approximate 1.9 million displaced people take refuge in places like raffa. we must highlight that not even the places designated by israel have escaped the indiscriminate bombings. according to the un, gaza has
4:38 pm
reached a more critical level of humanitarian catastrophe due to famine. hunger should never be used as a weapon of war, since it is collective punishment that in addition to leading to death causes severe physical. physical and political extermination of the palestinian people. this is under the complicit eyes and also under the unconditional support of both europe and the united states, which not only have decided to keep silent, but also finance the genocide through countless aid. this is while there is
4:39 pm
total absence of humanitarian aid to the palestinian people today. we thank god for this interesting report from the epicenter of this crisis and in the next part of the program we will talk a little more about the strategy of. destruction of the palestinian economy that has been taking place for several decades. this is another means that complies with the dreams of ethnic cleansing of all palestinian people. israel has been using this strategy for more than 75 years in order to userp all of para quedarse con la totalidad de palesti. ya estamos de regreso y en el presente. we are back and in this port i want to invite you to a conversation with an international analyst, writer and journalist, specialist and a regular contributor to critical thought and left-wing theory, not only in the bask country, but also in latin america and in the middle east,
4:40 pm
with particular knowledge of the palestinian case. now let's visit our dear guest, professor inyaki gill from. thank you very much for accepting this invitation. i want to start by asking this question: before the october 7th of last year, how had israel made palestine agonize over its economy, especially in gaza and well basically it had been doing it through four levels, four practices that although they changed from time to time depending on the circumstances, remained as such since 1948, even before when the disposition of lands, the disposition of habitations, houses, homes, the disposition of orchers, the disposition of water etc. this was the first and remains the first, and what? did meant that palestine did not have the capacity to maintain agricultural production, but it was a lie. palestine, due
4:41 pm
to its weather and soil condition was very good and had very good production of cereals, fruits and olives, especially olives. this is economy. the second strategy is the very removal of the palestinian youth and workforce, not only on the agricultural level, but over the years on the cultural level. we have seen here in europe, we have seen many palestinian work. for example, in health section, palestinian immigrants who didn't have the chance to work in palestine, although they had been trained in the universities of countries like russia, like cuba, like the ussr originally, then cuba etc., but they didn't want to work for israel, so they had to immigrate. they could not work in the zianist regime, and had to immigrate. this was the second looting, or let's say intellectual looting. now i tell you how this benefits the zionist regime. it... fits them indirectly, because when these sophisticated scientific immigrants sent economic remittances to palestine,
4:42 pm
israel levies taxes on these remittances and enriches its economy. the third strategy is a more sophisticated one, which is to control the arrival of technology. the arrival of technology, even after gaza officially existed, and the west bank officially existed, the arrival of industrial technology was controlled by the zionist regime, and it let pass what it is interested in, and avoid any technology, not in its benefit, this affects agriculture right, and how did it do it? they did it basically with the internal collaboration of the palestinian bourgeoisie, the bourgeoisie or the middle bourgeoisie, which collaborated with the israeli regime and had to pay taxes, both the palestinian authority, which is a servile authority with respect to imperialism, as well as the palestinian small and medium bourgeoisie totally corrupt, and the zianist regime derived huge benefits from this, which did not benefit the palestinian people, this has effectively created a subsistence economy in
4:43 pm
palestine with an appropriate capacity, because it has very industrial people that studies lot, prepares a lot and educates itself lot, but cannot develop everything, and research. thank you very much. we are going to give the audience the opportunity to ask you two questions to continue delving deeper into this topic. good afternoon, professor, my name's jessica romero, health designer, architecture student, my question is, what are the economic interests in israel's current war against gaza? in 2000, a large amount of gas was discovered on the coast, of that large amount of gas, approximately a little more than 60% corresponds to the territory of gaza, and internationally, it is. gas, gas of the palestinian people. this is one of the things that israel wants to keep. what about
4:44 pm
palestine? well, israel seeks to expand its settlements throughout the land with the aim of expanding the production it needs. israel, for example, barely manages to produce olives, olive oil. practically, it loots everything palestine has and it buys them, but at very cheap prices, and that's because of overexploitation. then there is another third, very important factor for the future, is fishing: the zine regime is doing everything possible to annull the right and practice of fishing by the gazan people, because they have fertile coasts with abundant fish. israel is very interested in their coasts and it cannot plunder, so what do they do? they simply bomb the fishing boats, this way they cause hunger, and they hope that when they usurp gaza or bring it an authority even more survile than the one that exists in the west bank, they will win everything. and then there is another factor as: apart from the control, let's say of the industries that exist in the gaza strip, and it is the problem of tourism. israel is
4:45 pm
pursuing very strong tourism promotion policy, and the coast of gaza, of the gaza strip, is a coast especially suitable for tourism because of the waters, the heat, the beauty it has, etc., it's for direct economic reasons. here, i mentioned some other factors: what about the military industry, and above all, the information industry, the espionage industry, the terrorism industry. and the industry of counter insurgency, which exists in our america and has caused numerous problems and also here in us carea. this depends on two issues: it depends on imperialist technology ( only zionist, but also european, north american, because they all are merged into a single business. second, it also depends on the existence of a market, and that market needs guarantees that israel is sufficiently established, tough and solid power capable of maintaining its economic, research, and technological development. that's why the confrontation against the palestinian people is very
4:46 pm
strong, they need to crush the palestinian people. now, here is the question, to whom is zianis.
4:47 pm
great step of anthropology, anthropology from africa to asia and europe, and then it has been the axis that has connected the silk road, with the route practically from south to north, which allowed africa to reach asia, russia, europe, caravans brought in a quantity of gold, slaves, ivory, african species, african products, this was practically in progress until the collapse of the ottoman empire, or before, also until let's say the entire atlantic axis was developed and with the mediterranean axis already collapsed. this is because the ascendant capitalism since the 16th century pillaged the atlantic axis and pillaged our america and what was the mediterranean axis, the ottoman empire that connected with china etc. all of that was gradually going into
4:48 pm
decline. well, that's history, but in the present, those two axies remain, and one of them is taking on special. socioeconomic importance, and the other one is taking on not only socioeconomic importance, but also military importance, and i'm going to explain myself for two very simple reasons. pay attention to the axis of development: the middle east occupies the place as it did before, and that is why i refer to anthropogeny: the middle east occupies the place of connection of the eastern zone of eurasia, well practically even of the central zone of eurasia from china, half of... russia, etc., iran, and that entire area of india, pakistan, afghanistan, all of that. it is very, very important, very important access of land in terms of the geographic development of connections. this becomes clearer following 2013, with the silk road projects, the large railway projects, etc. there may be a maritime connection that has
4:49 pm
also been studied, but it is unsure, and it cannot guarantee it. it cannot cope with the enormous amount of products. that are thought to arrive from eurasia to africa, from africa to eurasia, all of this would pass through the middle east, and that middle east could then diversify towards the west, it could diversify towards greece, part of turkey, but from greece it could diversify towards europe, to europe, well in romania, to germany, hungary, poland, and from there directly to italy, etc. etc. there are studies, and that geographical axis is vital. the geographic axis is vital simply in the projection. a fundamental part of what is called the bricks and what is called multipolarity. this is what these international forces want. it is precisely what they want, fast, safe land transportation network that would operate 24 hours a day. this would be guaranteed by the control of the indian sea, the indian ocean, what is called the entire indo-pacific area.
4:50 pm
today, at this moment, the logical and necessary and just resistance of the yemani people has caused. is the serious problem for imperialism and the western economy and for the zianist economy itself with the practical paralysis of the port of ha. that's good, that strategic point is clear. then there is another point, another point that is also strategic for practically the entire world, but above all for the united states in europe, because the two strates that connect the middle east and serve as the central point of middle east with eurasia and africa, plus the suas canal, plus the canal that israel wants to build now, the bengorian canal, would be one of the sites along the straight of malacca, which is in asia, right next to the straight of panama, and hopefully the straight of nicaragua can be built, which is one of the reasons why imperialism wants to destroy the sand. the front, that is because nicaragua canal can break the north american monopoly from top to bottom, and right along with other straights such as gibraltar, askatahat, and those of denmark.
4:51 pm
that fundamental nucleus together with those straights is the fundamental nucleus of maritime logistics. but maritime logistics also has a military side, and that is why the danger that threatens the economy and power the west arises once again. they economy, i insist that it is not limited to just the material sense of the term of factories, agricultural products, raw materials, but also their planned economy for the next 15, 20, 30 years. that's what i'm referring to, in its connection with science and above all, the situation with the military forces. well, for the us and for europe, it is vital to control the entire access that goes from the atlantic coast of the united states, which passes through the azurs islands. which reaches the canary islands, which passes through the straight of gibraltar, which is between the iberian peninsula and morocco, and which runs through the mediterranean and
4:52 pm
reaches the middle east, about the middle east, i should mention that because the projects that they had planned, although i believe they are going down, it will go directly to the ocean to the indopacific zone, which is a recent name imposed by the penagon precisely, this access will go to the indo pacific zone and from there all the way to the... east until practically it reaches south korea, passing through india, south korea, japan, the philippines, malaysia, indonesia, australia, etc., and all this for what, to achieve absolute control, absolute control of china, afghanistan, turkey, india, and then russia upwards. well, this central axess is strategic, and for that reason they need to dominate the middle east. muchas gracias, profesor, por haber aceptado. thank you very much, professor for having accepted this debate. we're going to take a short break, and in the next section we continue talking with the palestinian diaspora in chile. well, we are back, let's continue
4:53 pm

4:54 pm
professions. his father arrived in chile in 1950 looking for opportunities and to reunite with part of the family that had imigrated in 1920. she found them and also the woman who became his wife later. caesar says that in his family arabic was always a spoken and a stories from his native land were recurrent, however, what connected him with his palestinianness was not these, but his son, who was also born in chile and visited palestine at 13 for the first time, his only son decided to contribute to the cause of his people, and he returned to serve, work and live in the land of his grandparents. caesar has returned to palestine twice and was able to see the house that his father had built. the joy of returning was always tenged with sadness and helplessness in the face of the...
4:55 pm
text that was surely the beginning of the entire palestinian diaspora: the denial, the fact that you want to leave everything behind and forget everything. this is a little similar to my family, they passed to us little of the cause and the palestinian sentiment, so in your case and in the case of my parents, how was the whole thing? i somewhat know the answer that after skipping a generation, the palestinian cause break into the family again with the force that broke into yours. la familia con la fuerza que rumpiĆ³ en la tuya, because until many years ago i thought that even my family was
4:56 pm
from jordan. jordan was confused with palestine, this guy, what was his name, oh anvar al saddat, i even thought he was the president of palestine, but no, he was not from palestine, he made a whole mess, of course my parents always spoke arabic all day at home, all day long and they talked about everything, i didn't understand anything, i know four five words, but with my son things changed, with my son things changed because the relationship between dad and son, and i'm also going to give myself some credit because you know... this shirt is not a coincidence, when curiously i was also away as a football fan, but elias figueras, a palestinian, returned as a coach in late 1994 and i said, no, i have to come back to the stadium, if elias vigorous is mine, we started with javiar, my son, khaviar was nine years old, we started there, then he traveled with my father to palestine, my father returned to palestine two three times and he went with him when he was 12, 13 years old and it was too strong for him life. change there with
4:57 pm
javier, absolutely, javier was clear that he was going to go to palestine, i mean your father did with his grandson, what didn't happen to me, what he didn't do with his son, yeah, kind of, or what his son didn't want him to do, javier, your son, returned to palestine before you, much earlier, of course, i returned to palestine at the age of 53, that is 10 years ago precisely to visit.
4:58 pm
chronicle of a siige which you wrote in 2013, it's the same feeling that you write about in your book, it's like it's always been there, joy, it was very pleasant for us to arrive at the israeli airport, see soldiers and things like that who keep asking you questions, i went with my brother the first time, there we were already both more or less old, they didn't ask us much, but still this or that, now we go out, we arrived in jerusalem, i remember my son was waiting for us and i felt i mean a place full of history, full, full of history, it was very, very exciting, and then i stayed a month just like the second time and it started to see the atrocity. i noticed atrocities as tourist, for example, roads were in a very bad condition, the luxury roads are for israelies only and in the occupied territories, the roads that are for the palestinians got forbid are all bompy and full of stones. here you start to question to question to question, and i began to value
4:59 pm
my... son's option much more enormously, he said he has friends who have a state because the israeli occupation is you perfectly every day tells you to leave, to give up and leave, you understand me, and as you also say in the book, which i remember perfectly, to rise up in palestine is to resist, how do you see the israeli occupation affecting the possibility of what in this part of the world is? entrepreneurship, how does it affect economic development? i had very hard experience on the first trip when i went to see the wall of infamy, the wall of segregation, which is an illegal wall declared by the international court of justice. this wall is in the section that crosses, in the boulevard, that is, a tremendously rich, prosperous commercial area full of commercial premises. in the middle, and two meters from the stores, those stores
5:00 pm
never open. i remember i visited a stadium in ramal, football stadium built by fifa, believe me, daniel, the wall is too close, one meter from the field, i mean it's too close that if the ball is thrown out of the stadium, it hits the wall, do you understand what i'm saying, terrible, terrible, and it surprises me because palestinians have obstacles every day like the one describe, i'm surprised by the joy of the palestinian people, the occupation, the israelius crime has not won the joy of the palestinian people, you must have experienced the same thing i saw in all the places i visited, the hogs, the coffee, it is wonderful how the palestian people have joy, i don't, i'm asking you, daniel, how do you explain this? well, it's resilience we need to remember.
