well in a highly unusual move the israeli military is confirming that strikes have been taking place against targets inside syria as the operation has been going on these removed she is saying that it's striking iranian could forces targets inside syrian territory and it is warning the syrian armed forces against striking against israeli military targets or against israeli territory the syrian state media is saying that its forces have forty what it calls hostile targets over syrian air space now the immediate background to all this is what took place during the course of sunday there were reports of an israeli strike or strikes in and around damascus again syrian state media saying that it had struck against those strikes as they came in and then shortly after that there was a report of at least one if not more projectiles being fired from syrian territory towards israeli territory in the reports were that they were ground to ground projectiles surface to surface missiles potentially now that is relatively uncommon what is more common is for syrian anti-aircraft fire to potentially

now, you can blame the israelis. but you can also blame palestinians for allowing enough justifications for the creation of that mess. maybe they were misled. maybe they had no other choice. but this is what you have. you have enough building blocks to create the myth of israeli -- >> were the palestinians misled during the four years? and how are they coping with their fears? we went to see a person who fought for victitimsithout a fufuture. >> i hadad my cousinin kkilled the israelis. and we were supposed to have a party here. we lit candles for all those who passed away to give us life. so we lit candles. and wewe cried there. then we came back home, we danced. we also cried again. and for us, that was the resistance. >> the regression in the last three years has been incredible in the relationship between palestinians and the israelis. is there any way that you found to go to the heart of israelis and tell them don't be afraid of me? >> i don't believe in this fear. we are the people who are afraid of them. they

settlements both israeli and for interests and these companies are helping to drive this tourism and therefore helping to sustain what is an illegal situation under international law and mark to what extent are these companies misleading tourist by failing to show that listings are actually located within israeli settlements in occupied land. the labeling of these properties they store attractions is part of the issue as you mentioned there as your reporter mentioned there in some cases these companies don't clearly label the the settlements or these properties or attractions are in the settlements which as i said are illegal under international law but that's really only part of the problem the fact is they're there in the first place and they shouldn't be there not only is this an illegal situation but also these companies are contributing to the human rights violations that the settlements are the root cause of and these companies have responsibilities which have been articulated by the the un guiding principles on business and human rights not to contribute or cause human rights

i think it's because he and the israelis are scared of children. this is because they think the children will grow up to be fighters it's the opposite i want to tell him the children aspire to be educated go to the university get ph d.'s they want an education they just want an indication. violence poverty politics. daily reality for the children of gaza. in gaza the population is estimated to be about one point four million over hafiz people children just think about what kind of impact passing along the top russian generation it's it's going to be addressed i really do you want to be a journalist because because. because i like it when i get bigger i'll describe the situation here i'll still everybody how we live how. god willing i would love to be a professor of chemistry at university. that if i do not succeed in being a martyr. when you become the first female president of palestine which i'm absolutely sure you're going to be one of the first three things you're going to do and how if. if i'm president and. i would first give children all the

security council to demand an end to israeli airstrikes what's the likelihood the u.n. can actually do anything to do that. well first of all i think it's brother i'm president to for a syrian diplomat to make such a big threat or issue such a big warning against the israelis i don't recall a syrian diplomat you know making such a warning that to bomb the airport and i you know i would also believe that you know this is. a result of israel's you know israel is the one which has been escalating especially recently particularly since the trouble for president trump and also his intention to withdraw from syria since the time we've seen these escalated is ready attacks on syria are ongoing by elations of syrian sovereignty and so hence we see this strong syrian reaction as a result of this is really a skill ation now we're getting a question what is the likelihood do what could happen we all know that the u.s. has provided israel with diplomatic cover over many issues whether it be its policies towards the palestinians whether it be its policies wars on lebanon which we've

dominates the palestinian authority have failed to heal the rift which is lost more than a decade the israeli government is also being blamed it blocked the third installment of fifteen million dollars from concert after rockets were fired from the besieged palestinian territory earlier this month the country cash is needed to pay thousands of hamas employees and to buy fuel for gaza's only power station but many israelis objected to the government allowing any money into gaza hamas with an election jew in a pool it seems prime minister binyamin netanyahu at first balance of the pressure but now says the transfer of the casa money will be allowed hamas denies accusations of exaggerating the fuel crisis so its employees get paid. garza's ministry of health says money from international donors to buy generator fuel has all but dried up. we have for the last two weeks been in a very complicated situation it is very serious and this has become a critical humanitarian issue for thousands of patients and hospitals across gaza amount to and thousands of palestinian patients like his son know the dif

and said if you want to do this we can hit back and the israelis stepped down and then in lebanon. israel's not really able to hit them because hezbollah is so much stronger than it was even in two thousand and six when the israelis basically ran back across the border with their tails between their legs so the only theater that israel's able to really do anything in is syria and you know the big the big enemy is iran so so if netanyahu says i'm hitting targets in iran it's kind of a way to show the public that he's strong it's kind of that classic thing you see that over and over i mean we saw donald trump there's kind of something similar with that right after he took office when he launched the rockets into syria just kind of showing like look i'm a president and i can launch rockets in my opinion you know and that's the ugly part about it yeah man. they're on every health well and i mean the other thing is netanyahu is being challenged by benny gantz the former israeli army chief whose video whose campaign series just came out yesterday who was bragging he said only the strong

stories israeli perspectives and narratives find greater space in the american media compared to those of palestinians now the authors don't even see this imbalance is a problem they think it's just natural that u.s. media would follow us foreign policy. critically this appears to be a systemic problem in coverage rather than a result of deliberate planned bias instead this has likely more to do with what scholars allude to as the u.s. media's affinity to broadly align and support their government's foreign policy objectives but despite the media imbalance the us public is becoming less and less favorable to israel a new poll shows that thirty eight percent of americans think that israel has too much influence in american politics and that's fifty five percent among democrats so it looks like the gap between the u.s. public and mainstream media coverage is growing up and r.t. new york. the former head of the israel defense forces has for the first time he acknowledged the country has supplied weapons to militants in syria something that was always denied at least correspondent paula sl
