Israeli soldiers have been killing Palestinian civilians in Gaza by running them over with tanks and armoured vehicles, a report by the Euro-Med Human Rights monitor states. According to the report released on Monday, one of those killed was a Palestinian man in Gaza City's Zaytoun neighbourhood on 29 February. Eyewitnesses told the rights monitor that the man had his hands restrained, was stripped, and that he was alive while he was run over on asphalt. Other similar incidents have also been carried out by the Israeli army, the rights monitor stated. On 23 January, an Israeli tank ran over members of the Ghannam family while they were sleeping in a caravan in the Taiba Towers area of Khan Yunis. The attack resulted in the deaths of the father and his eldest daughter, while the remaining three children and wife were wounded. The incident was confirmed by the 13-year-old daughter, Amina, who said that her father and older sister were killed when the tanks repeatedly drove over the caravan where the family had been sleeping. As a result of the attack, Amina experienced extreme pressure in her eyes, almost losing her vision. Running over Palestinians with heavy vehicles has been a technique employed by Israeli forces since the start of the war on Gaza on 7 October. Euro-Med documented bulldozers and tanks crushing displaced Palestinians in their tents in the courtyard of the Kamal Adwan hospital on 16 December. One woman told Euro-Med that she was shocked when a tank suddenly ran over the tent where her family had sought shelter. The family survived the 20 February attack, close to the coast in Khan Younis. Last week, Ramy Abdu, chairman of the rights group, told MEE he believed hundreds of Palestinians have been run over by Israeli tanks. Most, he said, were in northern Gaza, in places such as Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun and Zeitoun, as well as along the coastal al-Rasheed road that Palestinians have used to flee. "The Israeli leaders themselves have adopted a strategy of demonising and dehumanising Palestinians, which means that even burning them alive is allowed and you see even the Israeli soldiers are competing with each other to publish stories on social media about the level of brutality they are willing to inflict on Palestinians,” he said. In a statement, Euro-Med expressed "deep concern about the ICC Prosecutor’s performance regarding the genocide taking place there". “The ICC’s last update on the situation in Palestine was posted on 17 November on its official website. "This raises serious questions and concerns about its independence and integrity, as well as the extent to which it can perform its duties without becoming politicised or impacted by standards of duality and selective justice,” it added.

Speaker 0: Nelson Mandela was a terrorist according to Margaret Thatcher and, Ronald Reagan, so I guess maybe that man is falsely accused as well. Where's the evidence? Where's the evidence?
Speaker 1: But your isn't this changing the ground rules? I mean, this is in terms of what these
Speaker 0: people what do you
Speaker 1: know about AHH? What do you know about what they're doing?
Speaker 0: It's not my job to go and and Spend, time investigating every activity of every person that I deal with. I stand by what I've done, and I am proud to have stood shoulder to shoulder with my brothers From IHH and around the world who did the right thing. I'm with Hamas. To accept the unacceptable.
Speaker 1: And Hamas?
Speaker 0: And Hamas? You know what? The IRA is now part of the government in Ireland, but they were the terrorists of their day as well. If Hamas had been allowed an opportunity to give the political chance, the political process an opportunity, Maybe they would not be involved in violent resistance as they are. However, they have never been given an opportunity
Speaker 1: to call double standards. I mean, just as Double standard. Well, in of the way you are talking about what Israel does and what you're talking about Hamas does, people were critical of the IRA when it did what it did, and it was only when it turned to political means that it was deemed acceptable. Amnesty says of Hamas that it engaged in a campaign of abductions, deliberate and unlawful killings, and torture.
Speaker 0: I do not stand by anyone or any institution that violates human rights, however, what I will say
Speaker 1: Yes, I
Speaker 0: do. And I will say Absolutely. 100%. Without reservation, I support the right of self defense without any doubt. I would be involved myself in violent resistance If I were a citizen of Palestine or Iraq or Afghanistan, and if I were a citizen of the United States or Britain, And someone from halfway around the world came into my country and started stealing my land and killing my family, guess what?
I would defend my country as well. So I absolutely 100% defend the right of self defense, and I will never shy away from that. I will not join the long list of embarrassments Who condemned terrorism while forgetting to acknowledge that the biggest terrorist on the planet is the United States government for all of the terrorists around the world.
Speaker 1: Has the right to defend itself.
Speaker 0: Absolutely every country does, and it that's exactly why the hypocrisy and the lies of Israel are so transparent. Are you telling me we don't have the right To defend our defend ourselves? When I saw dead bodies on that ship and we were hitting people with bars and sticks, we don't have the right to defend ourselves, but they do, do they?
Speaker 1: Hamas doesn't recognize the right of Israel to exist.
Speaker 0: You know what that sounds like to me? That sounds like the African National Congress and Nelson Mandela refusing to accept apartheid and recognize apartheid. I say that Israel, if it wants to be a genuine partner in any kind of peace, Needs to destroy its whole ideology of Zionism. Zionism that makes other people goyim, who do not deserve to be in the Holy Land. That's The real problem.
If Israel will embrace every people, including Palestinians equally, human rights respected across the board, then I would challenge Hamas to change its charter And say, we will acknowledge Israel. But until that time, I see no difference between Nelson Mandela and Hamas in refusing to accept apartheid or the Zionist Israeli state.
Speaker 1: The Israeli government, their first Job is to defend their citizens. They have rocket attacks from Gaza. They have intercepted, in in 2009, the Frank op holding hundreds of tons of Of war material for Hezbollah, until 2002, the Karim A holding dozens of tons of weapons for Hamas Sailing to Gaza from Iran. They are trying to defend their right to exist. That is why they their argument is it's self defense.
Speaker 0: And if you believe that then I've got some swampland in Florida to sell you as well. If you wanted peace and you carried out the policies of Israel then you'd have To believe that these people are the biggest idiots ever. It's like America saying it wants peace yet conducting state sponsored terrorism in Iraq In Afghanistan, that's a lie. Israel is lying, they don't want peace Are
Speaker 1: they lying when they say there was no humanitarian aid
Speaker 0: to that? Israel to them, and the Zionist agenda, It's the end of the Zionist project. They don't want peace. It's a lie. It's an absolute lie, and the policies to any thinking person that reflect that I can't speak for Hamas.
I think that I I what I do know what I do know about Hamas is that they've actually done something to help their people. And they have also, I think, helped to give ammunition to their enemies by violating human rights and not doing everything that they should do To respect the rule of law. I'm not gonna sit here and defend Hamas any more than I'm gonna defend anyone who violates human rights. However, Hamas has done a lot to help its People. And for that, it has to be given credit.
And it also cannot be bought. And do you not think
Speaker 1: that the Israeli people would say that of their own government? They elected it.
Speaker 0: I actually think that the Israeli government It's a reflection of the propaganda that has made the Israeli people so ignorant of the facts.
Speaker 1: Or defensive. They are under constant rocket attack. They feel that they do.
Speaker 0: Do people have the rocket attacks killed? These are glorified fireworks against the 4th largest military in the world with the latest technology Jean, weapons of mass
Speaker 1: destruction. 3000 rockets out of Gaza in
Speaker 0: the Gaza. 3,000 rockets that killed how many people?
Speaker 1: The point is that Israel is feeling Israel feels under threat.
Speaker 0: I think the rockets are a desperate attack.
Speaker 1: Let's go back to what was on your let's talk about what was on your ship, because Israel says that there was no humanitarian aid on that ship. We
Speaker 0: had, passengers on that ship who are expressing their humanity in a way that's a form of humanitarian aid that was not the primary cargo ship, to deny that the cargo ships, which were also confiscated, didn't have things like cement, Didn't have thing like wheelchairs, didn't have thing like medical supplies is another lie. But that's just it. Israel just lies incessantly.
Speaker 1: So why not? If you wanted to get this human aid Through to the people of Gaza. Why not do what they said? Dock in the port of Ashdod in Israel and allow even an Egypt or an international organization to deliver the aid?
Speaker 0: Because it would be acting like a fool who believes that Israel has any intention of actually delivering all the aid that you're bringing. They don't allow cementing, they don't allow building supplies, and they don't allow all sorts of things to the point that you have an unemployment rate that is the highest in the world, a poverty rate that's African levels, you have Children who were malnourished and anemic, you have terrible, terrible hardship. Obviously Israel doesn't want to let all the supplies in their car.
Speaker 1: So when Israel conducts This inquiry that it is into what happened
Speaker 0: It's a farce joke, and we all know that.
Speaker 1: Even though it has David Trimble and Ken Watkin it, the Canadian, and you're an Irish
Speaker 0: credit yourself now, David Trimble, don't you? You know?
Speaker 1: If they asked you, would you give them evidence?
Speaker 0: Absolutely, I'm giving evidence right now. I have nothing to hide.
Speaker 1: Would you go back to Israel to give them evidence?
Speaker 0: I'm seriously considering that. Because you know what? There are Thousands of political prisoners from Palestine, my brothers and sisters who I consider to be my family, who don't have the same opportunity that I do. They don't have that shining light on me. They don't have BBC interviewing me, yet they're sitting there in prison not having access to their family, and they're my brothers and sisters, so I'm thinking about it very, very seriously, Even though I know there is no justice in Israel
Speaker 1: Do you fear for your life? You've talked about the fact that you might be
Speaker 0: I believe in what Malcolm X When he was asked what is the price for freedom? Malcolm said the price for freedom is death, and if you're not willing to pay that price then don't use that word in your vocabulary.
Speaker 1: Did you think you were going to die when you were on the Mavi Malmo?
Speaker 0: No, I thought we need to defend this ship, we need to succeed in this mission, we need to end this blockade, that was what was running through my thoughts.
Speaker 1: You used to be a US Marine. You've moved quite a long way from that.
Speaker 0: Thank god for that.
Speaker 1: You burnt your American passport.
Speaker 0: I renounced my US citizenship formally because I do not agree to the terms of citizenship. I refuse to pay into a tax system that's being used to commit mass murder, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
Speaker 1: Your anger, How will you use it next?
Speaker 0: Based on love, and that's why I do what I do.
Speaker 1: How will you use it next? What will you do?
Speaker 0: I've been involved in a project Called Aloha Palestine, a social enterprise intending to do safe trade with Gaza, to bring in items counter to what Israel is getting from Britain and the United States weapons of mass destruction, small arms, and things like that to bring in safe trade items such as things that are needed for the civilian population to live a decent life, And that is a problem that we need to address in this world is the absolute lack of the palestinian people to exercise self determination, and Living on aid is not the answer, so my focus is trade. And if I can't be the director of that policy Well,
Speaker 1: let's just go on the other side, because a lot is focused on the import, getting stuff into Gaza. Surely the best thing for the Ghasan people would be to allow to export all that they do.
Speaker 0: Yeah, and they have millions of carnations that they could be Reporting and they feed it to livestock because it's not allowed out. Is that a security measure for his marijuana? What do
Speaker 1: you do next? Is it another is it another trip on a a ship in to try to Break the naval blockade which will stay.
Speaker 0: You know, I have a family. I'm a father. I have a beautiful son, a beautiful wife, and I have, Some responsibility to them, but I have a greater responsibility to the world that I live in. I don't know that it's possible for me to not be on the next flotilla, And I'd really like to say publicly right now, Hugo Chavez, you need to be on that flotilla. Nelson Mandela, if you can possibly do it, you need to be on that flotilla.
Anyone who's serious, who has any real influence in this world, who really cares about justice, you need to be on that flotilla. We will end this Blockade, and that's where I intend to be, on that next flotilla.
Speaker 1: The chances of any of them going on that flotilla presumably were reduced when there was violence. Do you feel in any way responsible, On the behalf of those on the ship for the violence that came from it.
Speaker 0: I feel responsible for defending that ship and the mission which was intended to protect Innocent civilians who are being collectively punishment in a collectively punished in a policy which would only be considered insane by any thinking compassionate person.
Speaker 1: So it was worth it?
Speaker 0: It was absolutely worth it. We need to do it again.
Speaker 1: Ken O'Keefe, thank you for coming on Hard Talk.
Speaker 0: Thank you.
