Everyone needs to shut up if you’re not calling this a genocide.
Mustafa Barghouti appears on Piers Morgan with American Alan Dershowitz and states it as it is. A GENOCIDE. ETHNIC CLEANSING. COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT. After being interrupted several times he tells them to shut up and rightly so.
Mustafa Barghouti, general secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative, raises critical questions about US foreign policy. He juxtaposes the US support for Ukraine against what they term "occupation" with their backing of Israel in the Palestinian conflict.
Mustafa Barghouti: Israel does not only imprison Palestinians who are alive, they are also imprisoning dead people; martyrs.
398 Palestinians who had already died in Israeli jails or because they were shot by the Israeli army are kept in jail.
Those who die in Israeli prisons because of sickness or because of torture have to stay in prison in refrigerators to complete their sentence.
Interviewer: how does Israel justify keeping the bodies of Palestinian prisoners or people who have died under their watch?
Mustafa Barghouti: There is no justification. 142 of the Palestinians who were killed recently, and most of them are young people and children, are kept in refrigerators, refusing to release them as a form of psychological torture against their families, and as a form of collective punishment against their families.
256 [dead prisoners] are kept in what is called numbered cemeteries where there is a number for each one of them as some of them have been there for more than 40 years. It's an awful kind of practice.
PALESTINIAN DOCTOR AND LEGISLATOR SLAMS ISRAEL'S ONGOING GENOCIDE, SHUTS DOWN PIERCE MORGAN
📹 Footage from the appearance of Palestinian physician and member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Mustafa Barghouti on Pierce Morgan Uncensored, a show aired on the British broadcaster TalkTV.
Dr. Barghouti shuts down Pierce Morgan's attempts to interrupt and disturb his responses, telling the British "journalist" to "Shut up please!"
"These are children for God's sake. I am against the killing of 30 Israeli children, which happened on the 7th of October because they are children and civilians," Dr. Barghouti says in the interview, adding "But nothing in the world could justify because of the killing of 30 children, the killing of 12'000 other Palestinian children. That is unacceptable."
"30'000 Palestinian civilians have been killed, and 72'000 people have been injured by the Israeli murderous army. This is 4.5% of the population," Barghouti says before being interrupted once again, telling Pierce Morgan, "I didn't interrupt you, so shut up and let me finish!"
"4.5% of the population of Gaza have been killed or injured. If that happened in the United States of America, you would be talking about 12 million people killed or injured in four months of time. Is that acceptable?" Dr. Barghouti asks.
"70% are civilians, more than that. Israel is killing Palestinians not only with this terrible genocide, with their bombardment, they are killing civilians with starvation, this terrible siege," adding that "50'000 pregnant women, Palestinian women, don't find a place to give birth in, 64'000 breastfeeding women cannot help their babies. And more than that, 700'000 people are now starving because Israeli is preventing milk, flour, food to the population of Gaza City and the north of Gaza, and more than that, they shoot the Palestinian hungry people when they are trying to get some food."
"They shoot them and they kill them like they did two days ago. They killed 100 people and 860 others were injured."
"So my response to you, yes, this is a genocide. These are three war crimes happening at the same time: genocide, collective punishment and ethnic cleansing at the same time. 70% of all homes were destroyed. All universities were destroyed. 30 hospitals out of 36 hospitals were destroyed. 347 of my colleagues, medical doctors and nurses were killed."
Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative, Mustafa Barghouti: "What is happening in Gaza reveals the nakedness of the world order and the absence of international law that governs humanity. The Palestinian people have nothing left but struggle and resistance."
Her name is Julia Hartley-Brewer. I am appalled. Everything about this interview is wrong, except this man's patience, Dr Mustafa Barghouti. I think this is one of the most horrible interviews in the history of television. I would use it as teaching material for how not to conduct an interview.

ICJ orders Israel to take action to address famine in Gaza
youtube
Judges at the International Court of Justice have unanimously ordered Israel to take all the necessary and effective action to ensure basic food supplies arrive without delay to the Palestinian population in Gaza.
Mustafa Barghouti, the Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative party, joins Al Jazeera’s live.
Sabato 24 febbraio si è tenuta la Conferenza “Pace e Giustizia in Medio Oriente – Focus Palestina” in Palazzo Vecchio a Firenze. All’incontro hanno partecipato Francesca Albanese (relatrice speciale sui diritti umani nei territori palestinesi per l'ONU), Ruba Salih (antropologa università di Bologna), Mustafa Barghouti (membro del Consiglio legislativo palestinese), Sarit Michaeli (B'Tselem) e Ilan Pappé (storico dell'Università di Exter UK).
L’evento è stato promosso dal Consiglio comunale di Firenze e dalla Rete Pace e Giustizia in Medio Oriente ed è stato introdotto da Luca Milani (Presidente del Consiglio Comunale di Firenze) e coordinato da Manfredi Lo Sauro (Rete Pace e Giustizia in Medio Oriente).
In particolare molto taglienti gli interventi dei due relatori palestinesi, Salih al tempo -2.00.00 circa e Barghouti al tempo -1.30.00 circa.
Vi dico solo che il console israeliano per Toscana, Lombardia ed Emilia Romagna, che per giunta è di Firenze, ha minacciato di denunciare gli organizzatori.
