In this editorial episode, Mr. Sujit Nair discusses the forceful response of Israeli military forces to the Hamas terrorist attack on the Gaza Strip. Thousands of missiles were launched from Gaza and struck various indiscriminate targets in Israel, causing panic and resulting in numerous casualties, with bodies lying in the streets and extensive damage to buildings. Simultaneously, hundreds of armed fighters from the terrorist group, some riding motorcycles, used bulldozers to breach the barriers separating Israel from Gaza and infiltrated cities, catching Israeli soldiers off guard and attacking civilians.
This swift and coordinated ambush also involved numerous Hamas militants on motorboats storming Israeli beaches, engaging in intense shootouts with Israeli forces. Other armed Hamas assailants entered Israel using paragliders amid the smoke-filled skies. While those under attack sought refuge in safe rooms and bomb shelters, groups of terrorists entering the country targeted towns, kibbutzim, and homes, indiscriminately shooting residents, including women, children, and the elderly, taking some hostage and forcibly returning them to Gaza amid their cries for help.
A music festival that had hundreds of Israeli youths dancing through the night turned into a scene of violence, as Hamas militants arrived in vans and opened fire, resulting in the deaths of 260 partygoers and the abduction of others. Hamas leaders have now issued threats to execute the hostages one by one, filming the executions if their demands are not met.
In one of the severely affected kibbutzim, Kfar Aza, located near the Gaza border, entire Israeli families were tragically killed, and the bodies of militants involved in the attack were sprawled in the streets, often near crashed motorcycles. Nearly every home in Kfar Aza had bullet holes, and there was a significant breach in a nearby border fence, which was still being guarded by Israeli soldiers engaged in intense confrontations with the enemy.

00:00 Namaskar, welcome to another episode of editorial.
00:07 The world saw a brutal attack from Hamas, a brutal attack on Israel, killing women and
00:14 children.
00:15 Now, the story is changing.
00:19 Now the story is, the world is seeing a brutal retaliation from Israel.
00:29 Let us talk about this.
00:30 Let us get right into the show.
00:35 Now like I always say, let us first get informed of whatever is happening and then we will
00:41 spend two minutes talking about the analysis.
00:45 Now I am going to talk to you about one, two, three, four, five perspectives.
00:49 Five perspectives.
00:50 First is I will talk to you about the status.
00:52 The second is I will talk to you about the US perspective.
00:55 The third I will talk to you about the Iranian perspective.
00:58 The fourth I will talk to you about the United Nations perspective.
01:02 And finally, we will talk about the Palestinian perspective.
01:06 So I am going to talk to you about five perspectives, five reactions, five point of views and then
01:11 we will talk our analysis.
01:12 We will draw our analysis.
01:14 This is how I intend to do my editorial and here goes.
01:21 Like I said, more than 4000 people have died and most of them now Palestinians.
01:29 On 13th of October, Israeli military aircraft dropped thousands of leaflets on the northern
01:34 Gaza Strip, warning residents in the part of the Palestinian territory to evacuate its
01:41 southern half.
01:43 The Israeli military informed the United Nations late Thursday night that the entire population
01:49 in northern Gaza should evacuate south almost immediately.
01:55 One point one million people, they were dropped leaflets and told evacuate immediately.
02:03 If you do not, you will face consequences.
02:06 What are the consequences?
02:08 Death.
02:10 United Nations was not asked, not consulted, not negotiated with, but told, "Yeh khaali
02:22 hona chahiye".
02:24 This was what Israel did on Friday.
02:28 According to United Nations, about one point one million people live in north Gaza, the
02:35 most densely populated part of the territory, one point one million people, 11 lakh people
02:42 stay in Gaza.
02:43 And imagine, imagine your town, your city, 11 lakh people, if you are told that in 24
02:52 hours, evacuate.
02:53 If you don't, you will face the consequences.
02:57 What will happen to you?
02:59 Imagine, I just want you to empathize this.
03:02 Imagine what panic would set into your family, your people, your children, the old people
03:09 at home.
03:12 What panic?
03:14 And they don't have a choice.
03:16 The kind of bombarding that's happening, don't have a choice.
03:21 So you either evacuate, no matter how, whatever way, or you face the consequences, you face
03:28 the bombs.
03:30 This is what the United Nations said.
03:31 The United Nations actually said that it considers this impossible for such a movement to take
03:38 place without devastating humanitarian consequences.
03:41 The United Nations strongly appealed for any such order, if confirmed to be rescinded,
03:47 avoiding what could transform what is already a tragedy into a calamitous situation.
03:55 The United Nations said, please don't pass an order like this.
03:59 This will lead to calamity and which it will.
04:03 And to which the Israeli response was that to Israel's early warning to the residents
04:09 of Gaza, Israel's UN ambassador Gilad Erden said that it was shameful and ignores the
04:17 brutality of the attack on Israel.
04:20 Yes, nobody denies the brutality of attack on Israel by Hamas.
04:28 Nobody denies that.
04:30 But to retaliate and retaliate in such a way that you cause damage to humanity, 1.1 million
04:41 people just asked to go.
04:43 Let me give you Joe Biden's response.
04:49 The American response.
04:52 The American response after the Israeli asked these people to evacuate in 24 hours was that
04:59 I think it's a big mistake.
05:02 Look what happened in Gaza.
05:03 In my view is Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas don't represent all the Palestinian
05:09 people, he said.
05:10 I agree.
05:11 Hamas doesn't represent all the Palestinian people.
05:14 Hamas attacked you.
05:17 Attack Hamas back.
05:18 Pin them down.
05:19 You allow Israel, you've got one of the best security forces.
05:23 Pin them down, attack them.
05:26 What are you attacking common people for, civilians for?
05:29 This is what Joe Biden said.
05:30 The Israel are going to do everything in the power to avoid killing of innocent civilian.
05:36 This is what Biden hoped that they are going to do everything to avoid killing civilian
05:41 people.
05:42 But that's not what's happening at all.
05:45 These 4000 people who died are not military people.
05:48 They are not terrorists.
05:49 They are civilians.
05:51 So that's not what's happening.
05:52 Now let's go to the Iranian perspective.
05:57 The Iranian perspective, Iran says that if the measures aimed at immediately stopping
06:02 the Israeli attack that are killing children in Gaza Strip end in a deadlock, it is highly
06:09 probable that many other fronts will be opened.
06:12 The option is not ruled out and this is becoming increasingly more probable.
06:17 If the Zionist entity decides to enter Gaza, the resistance leaders will turn it into a
06:23 graveyard of the occupation soldiers.
06:26 Now the reason I read the Iranian response is because these are people, Iranian soldiers
06:33 are not there with the Gaza.
06:36 These are countries other than sorting the problem out, other than getting people to
06:41 come to a negotiating table, other than making them sit down and say, listen, you know what,
06:46 stop killing.
06:47 Children are dying.
06:48 These are people who are adding fuel to fire.
06:51 Iran is adding fuel to fire.
06:54 Because if Iran's idea or Iran's interest was the people of Palestine and the children
07:00 and the women and the innocent people of Palestine, then they would have not added fuel.
07:05 They would have called for a peace talk.
07:08 That is what civilized countries and civilized brains do.
07:12 When there is a conflict, you call for a peace talk, two people fighting, you go to one person
07:16 and say, isko aur maara, do aur idhar de.
07:19 Is that what you are trying to do?
07:21 For whose interest?
07:22 Whose interest do you have in mind?
07:24 Now let me get to more serious, that is the UN perspective, which I really want you to
07:27 hear.
07:30 In this dramatic moment, we are on the verge of the abyss in the Middle East.
07:37 It is my duty as Secretary General of the United Nations to make two strong humanitarian
07:42 requests, said Antonio Guterres.
07:46 He said his appeal to Hamas was to immediately release the hostages without conditions.
07:53 The Israel should grant rapid and unimpeded access for humanitarian aid for the civilians
08:00 of Gaza.
08:01 He said two requests.
08:02 First is, Baba, please, Hamas, hand over the hostages, 199 hostages you are holding, hand
08:11 over those hostages back to Israel.
08:13 And Israel, stop, do not put impediments to the relief work that we are doing.
08:19 Two simple humanitarian requests he had.
08:22 Our selfless staff on the ground along with the RNGO partners need to be able to bring
08:28 these supplies into and throughout Gaza safely.
08:32 This is what Mr. Guterres said.
08:35 Now speaking from East Jerusalem, the UN agencies dealing with this crisis, that is UNRWA, that
08:45 is United Nations Relief Work Agency, they said that operations are the largest United
08:53 Nations footprint in Gaza Strip.
08:56 And we are on the verge of collapse.
08:59 Not one drop of water, not one grain of wheat, not one litre of fuel has been allowed into
09:07 Gaza Strip for the last eight days.
09:11 Not one drop of water, not one grain of food and not one drop of fuel.
09:20 Imagine 1.1 million people.
09:23 Imagine their lives.
09:25 This is what United Nations said.
09:27 In fact, they said Gaza is being strangled and it seems that the world right now has
09:33 lost its humanity.
09:34 This is what United Nations said.
09:39 Now let me come to the Palestinian perspective.
09:45 Palestinian President Mohammed Abbas has told US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that
09:51 he rejects the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, following Israel s order for all
09:58 of the enclave civilians to move to the south.
10:01 He also said that the humanitarian corridors must be allowed in the blockaded coastal enclave
10:07 immediately to prevent humanitarian disaster.
10:11 This is what the Palestinian had to say.
10:14 Now let us come to our analysis.
10:21 You see, till now the whole world was talking about Hamas and its brutality.
10:30 Till now the whole world was calling a terrorist out, that is Hamas.
10:37 Till now.
10:39 But all of a sudden things are changing.
10:43 Israel s brutality seems to be exceeding Hamas s.
10:49 The point that I am trying to make is what Hamas did was wrong and there is no doubt
10:54 about it.
10:55 We all condemn it to the core.
10:59 But now what is happening in Gaza Strip by strangling 1.1 million innocent women, children,
11:08 civilians.
11:09 That is too much of a brutality.
11:11 That s too much of a retaliation.
11:13 This is beyond humane.
11:16 This is inhumane.
11:17 That s the point number one.
11:20 Point number two is the world opinion is also changing.
11:25 Biden is also once where the same Biden who said that, you know, we are there, not a worry,
11:30 we are there with everything what Israel does and all that.
11:33 Biden is also changing.
11:36 The whole world, whole world perspective is changing.
11:38 There is somewhere down the line Israel needs to stop.
11:43 Enough.
11:44 Enough.
11:45 Your problem is Hamas.
11:46 Tackle Hamas.
11:48 Do what it takes to pull them down.
11:51 But not the Palestinian people.
11:53 Point number three is you are undermining the United Nations.
11:59 You have decided that you are going to take charge of Gaza.
12:02 You are going to evacuate people from Gaza.
12:04 You are going to throw people, throw Palestinians away from Gaza.
12:07 United Nations is pleading to you, pleading to you to ensure that send one grain of food,
12:15 one grain of food to eat, one drop of water, one drop of fuel.
12:20 United Nations is pleading to you.
12:22 You are undermining United Nations.
12:26 And the last point is, what are you saying?
12:30 Is Israel actually saying that Hamas equals Palestine?
12:34 Are you giving that much importance to Hamas?
12:36 Do you think Hamas represents every Palestinian?
12:40 Are you saying that?
12:42 If you are saying that, then you are giving validity to a militant organization, to an
12:45 extremist organization.
12:46 You are giving validity to them.
12:49 So why are you doing it?
12:51 The point that I am trying to say is this situation, like I told you day one, this situation
12:56 is getting more and more dangerous.
12:59 Certain countries are putting fuel on the fire to ensure that it burns more because
13:05 it doesn't affect those countries.
13:06 Certain countries are, they have changed their stance, but yeah, I mean, doing nothing concrete.
13:13 The point is, today, I think the entire world needs to come together asking for peace, asking
13:20 Israel to stop, asking people to sit together and discuss and sort this matter out.
13:27 It has come to that stage.
13:29 It has come to that stage.
13:31 Else the world is going to see another disaster, another massive disaster, which generations
13:37 will not forget.
13:38 This is the point I wanted to make.
13:41 Till I see you next time.
13:43 Namaskar.
