Collective West supporting Israel ‘to wipe out the Palestinian population’: Prof. Marandi

Professor Mohammad Marandi says all the Western countries are supporting the Israeli regime “to wipe out the Palestinian population.”

Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran and a political analyst, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Friday from Beirut, Lebanon, where he is based these days.

“All the Western countries are supporting the regime in every way possible, through aid, through political cover, through weapons, through ammunition, and…through intelligence gatherings,” Marandi said.

“So this is a collaboration of tens of Western regimes to wipe out the Palestinian population,” he stated. 

The Iranian academic added that “when it comes to seeking a ceasefire they are doing everything possible to help the regime carrying out both holocaust and in the south of Palestine and ongoing genocidal attacks in the north of Palestine.”

Commenting on Israel’s recent aggressions against Lebanon, Marandi said, “Hezbollah and the people of Lebanon are paying the price for defending the people of Gaza, against the genocide.”

Only way to end Gaza genocide is for US to halt arms supplies to Israel: US journalist

The only way to end the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza is for the US to halt its weapons shipments to the regime, says a US-based Pulitzer-prize winning American journalist.

“For over 11 months now, the resistance in Lebanon with the support of the overwhelming majority of the Lebanese population, have been engaging in battles in or in strikes across the border in the north of Palestine in order to draw troops away from Gaza, and to support the people of Gaza to lessen the intensity of the ongoing holocaust in Gaza,” he stated.

The Islamic resistance movement Hezbollah has been conducting numerous operations against Israeli targets since October last year when the Israeli regime waged a genocidal war in the Gaza Strip.

At least 41,534 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in the brutal Israeli military onslaught so far.

On Friday, Israeli warplanes launched massive airstrikes on the southern suburb of Dahiyeh in Beirut, killing at least eight people and wounding around 80 others.

Hours after a new wave of Israeli airstrikes hit the Dahiyeh area.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas called on “Arab and Islamic nations” to act and “reject this brutal aggression” by Israel against the brotherly people of Lebanon.

Hamas condemned the “Zionist escalation and aggression” against the people of Lebanon.

Hamas says Biden, Blinken directly involved in Palestinian genocide

Hamas slams the US administration for misleading Congress regarding the ongoing transfer of American arms to Israel and withholding essential information on Gaza blockade.

Speaking about the hypocrisy of the Western media, Marandi said, “Whenever they bomb towns and villages across the country, the Western media calls it Hezbollah strongholds.”

He added that many ordinary people get killed in Israeli attacks the Western media call targeted strikes against Hezbollah leaders.

“In general it is fair to say that Hezbollah and the people of Lebanon have played the most courageous role in this almost one-year-long genocide in Gaza because they voluntarily chose to draw Israeli forces away from the battlefield in the south of Palestine,” he noted.
