Now since this horror began, last October at the

genocide on sort that Israel has at least against the Palestinian people.

There's for me one of the most important people who I always look to always listen to who just knows the details inside out

is Mohammed Shah had in my brilliant guest today. He's a Palestinian writer and analyst. He's from Gaza.

I should say like so many Palestinians from Gaza he has suffered an immense personal cost at the hands of Israel's murderous onslaught, one of the great

kinds of our age.

And throughout, I just cannot emphasize just how important a resource, if it's not dehumanizing

to refer to a person as a resource, Mohammed has been.

And what we're going to do today is, because we're so lucky to have such an incredible

mind and resource, is to rebut some of the big lies, myths, talking points, propaganda points

that the Israeli state and their cheerleaders have fed Western public opinion in an attempt to justify one of the great crimes of age.

So thank you. It's such an honor to have you. How you did?

Thanks so much for hearing me. Look, let's just start.

Let's just go through them.

Bang, bang, bank, let's go through these.

So firstly, Israel says, we left Gaza in 2005 and look how we were repaid with rockets and attacks we ended the occupation

look what happened. There's much to unpack here is the question of did they actually leave Gaza?

Why did they do it?

And how did they do it?

And what happened after?

And I think all of it collapses upon examination.

The reason why they left Gaza at the time was nothing to do with peace.
