1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: As you know, there's a protest organized for the seventh 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: of October, which is Monday. It's a public holiday. It 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: happens to be that it's the anniversary of Hamas in Israel. 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: The attack that occurred on that date, October seventh last 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: year resulted in the deaths of the horrific deaths of 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: twelve hundred people in Israel and the hostage number of 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: hostages taken into Palestine, some two hundred odd people who 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: were kidnapped and held as hostages. Some have been released, 9 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: some have been rescued, some have tragically died, and some remain. 10 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: But the rally on the steps of Parliament House approved 11 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: by an officer in the State Parliament, the Premier, Peter 12 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: malanowskis earlier on this show this morning saying it is 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: in bad taste. This is a little bit of what 14 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: mister Melanowskas had to say. 15 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: I think for these people to have these protests in 16 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: October seven isn't just grossly insensitive, it's reckless and irresponsible, 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: and I would call on them to exercise better judgment 18 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 2: and not abuse the privileges that are afford to them 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: in a liberal democracy by seeking to offend others, but 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: rather show a degree of human embassy. 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: Earlier this morning, the Police Commissioner Grant Stevens called into 22 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: five Double a breakfast. He says he can't stop the 23 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: rally going ahead, but it is his job to make 24 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: sure it is peaceful and compliant. 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 3: We have the Public Assemblies Act here which people must 26 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: comply with in elotion to how they conduct an assembly 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 3: and if those requirements are met. It's not for me 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 3: as police commissioner to make any moral judgments about what 29 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 3: may or may not be the subject of an assembly. 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: We do have on the line Habiba Jagouri, who is 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: the organizer of the lil Asa protest march protest on Monday, 32 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: and pro Palestine organizer Habiba. 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 4: Good morning, Hi, Good morning, Matthew. 34 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: How are you all right? Thank you? Are you concerned 35 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: about the timing as the police commissioner is as the 36 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: premier clearly is. 37 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 4: Not at all, Matthew. In fact, you said it right. 38 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 4: October seven is an anniversary, one your anniversary of people 39 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,839 Speaker 4: out in Guaysa are breaking out of the open air 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 4: prison that Israel put Amanda. It didn't result in death 41 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: because the ideas the Israeli occupation forces rather I should 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 4: say killed their own. Yes, hostages were taken. This was 43 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 4: in response to Israel holding onto more than eight thousand 44 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 4: Palestinian hostages. So yeah, it's an anniversary of that. However, 45 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 4: it is also a breathing and morning in protest of 46 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 4: one year of Israel's genocide in Gaza and seventy six 47 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: years of Israel's occupation in Palestine. It's a really important 48 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,559 Speaker 4: that people all across the pro Palestine movement in Adelaide participate. 49 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 4: All across Australia, protests are happening. I absolutely supported. I 50 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 4: think it's necessary. It's a democratic right to protest, it 51 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 4: is a legal right to protest, and it's the moral 52 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: thing to do. Bring palinaskus, the state premier is so concerned, 53 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: I invite him to come and debate with me about 54 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 4: his position on Palistine and Israel. 55 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: Habiba, Do you deny that anyone was killed in Israel? 56 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: Is that what I heard you say a few minutes ago. 57 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 4: No, No, I'm not denying that. I'm not denying that. However, 58 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 4: investigations and reports coming out of Israel's own media have 59 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 4: said that the IDF Israeli occupation forces have killed their 60 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 4: own people. 61 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: So har Mass didn't kill anyone. 62 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: I condemned the killing of any innocent life. However, I 63 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 4: condemned Israel's first and foremost, for its seventy six years 64 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 4: of occupation, for putting God under a speech, and for 65 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 4: occupying Palestine. 66 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: You're saying Hamas didn't kill anyone in Israel. 67 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if the 68 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: protest on Oktoba seven is protesting Israel's genocide, I'm saying 69 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 4: that Hannah's killing someone on anyone or any people on 70 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 4: October seventh was not done in a vacuum. I condemned 71 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: the killing of any innocent life. However, I stand by resistance, 72 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 4: which is a human right under the UN Convention. 73 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: There's many people who would see the date and the 74 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: protest as a celebration of what happened a year ago. 75 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: Can you be at the premier made this point, You'd 76 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: be better off to win people to your cause by 77 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: holding your rally on October sixth or October eight. 78 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 4: That's happening because every single Sunday with the contesting, the 79 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 4: October sixth protest is happening. There's an event going to 80 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 4: happen here in Adelaide on October seventh, and it is 81 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 4: a protest against one year of genocide. Over two hundred thousand, 82 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 4: nearly three hundred thousand by the Landsent Medical Report have 83 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 4: been It's been reported that guardians have been killed, ruthlessly murdered. 84 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 4: Israel has committed war crime after warcrime, have broken international 85 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 4: law after international law on their daily But however, it's 86 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 4: not new. This one year of genocide is not something new. 87 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 4: It's been happening for seventy six years. So it's a 88 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 4: protest against that. It is a protest of one year 89 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 4: of genocide. 90 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: If you're having a protest on October six, why do 91 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: you need to have one on October. 92 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 4: Seven, because it's the one year anniversary. The Sunday rallies 93 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 4: are just standard, go ahead, normal solidarity for Palestine. October 94 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 4: seven is specific because it's one year of generide and 95 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 4: you don't care. That's protesting that. You also tell you 96 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 4: it's also protesting against media bias and media narratives that 97 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 4: don't report and tell on the whole picture. They just 98 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 4: say that on October seven, how much came in did this? 99 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 4: They don't say why, They don't say what Israel did 100 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 4: in response, They don't say. 101 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: I think the media has been saying what has happened 102 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: in response every single day when we see footage on television, 103 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: for instance, of Israel's response. 104 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 4: Has media have you reported on Israel using white phosphorus 105 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 4: on children, on the flower massacre, on babies being left 106 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 4: in hospitals to write on mass graves being found on 107 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 4: systemic rape. That's not been reported. 108 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: On the issue to me saying that in the premiere, 109 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: I think has got this right. You'd be winning a 110 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: lot of people perhaps over to your cause, or at 111 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: least making an attempt to if you gave October seven 112 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: a miss. But you have no intention of doing that. Obviously. 113 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 4: I completely disagree that more people will be one to 114 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 4: our cause if we give October seven a miss. In fact, 115 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 4: it's going to show who really cares about humanity and 116 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 4: who really cares about justice. The past one year of 117 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: processing across Australia, it has won so many people over 118 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 4: because protests are the grounds for democratic did date to happen? 119 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 4: And Oktob seven is We're welcoming people to come and 120 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 4: share their opinion with us. We're happy to debate anyone 121 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 4: in a civil and safe manner, and I invite the 122 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 4: Straits smir Puedo madin Ascus, who's avoided me in the 123 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 4: past many times and not answered my questions, but I 124 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 4: invite him to come and debate me. I have convinced 125 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 4: me why Oktob seven is an insensitive date to protest. 126 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: You don't see it as such argument. I cannot believe 127 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: you don't see it as such that many people the 128 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: world over would be thinking this is a terrible decision 129 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: to celebrate atrocities that occurred on that day. 130 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 4: It's not a celebration of atrocity. It is a resistance 131 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 4: against Israel's atrocities for the past seventy sixty years, Israel's 132 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 4: illegal settlements, Israel's breaking of international law, Israel being taken 133 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 4: to the ICJ for the crime of genocide. It is 134 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 4: a process against all of that, and it is the 135 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 4: responsibility I take it. I think you should take it 136 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 4: upon the responsibility for yourself as well, Matthew, to stand 137 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 4: in solidarity with Palestine, to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, 138 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 4: and to oppose a protest Israel as they hold. 139 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: Will you be showing symbols? Will protesters be waving flags 140 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: that should be banned flags belonging to terror organizations. 141 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: I can't control what someone else does. However, our protest 142 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: is planned to be absolutely legal and our process is 143 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 4: planned to put flags of resistance, and that is a 144 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: Palestine flag for example. It could be a flag of 145 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 4: any occupied country. It could be the flag of the 146 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 4: Lebanon flag. That is absolutely welcome. These flags are welcome, 147 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 4: Flags of Sedan, flags of any country that is oppressed 148 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 4: is welcomed. At the end of the day, this movement 149 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 4: is about all people rising against the oppressors. 150 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: So you've no intention of dispplying, for instance, a Hazbella 151 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: flag or symbols Hezbella. 152 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 4: I don't own Hesbella flag, Matthew, And I don't know 153 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 4: what you mean by. 154 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: All right, So anything that identifies with a terrorist, a 155 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: listed terrorist organization, we wouldn't as have been displayed in 156 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: rallies around the country. 157 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 4: Those organizations. It's actually purely. 158 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: Subjective, to be honest, sorry say that again. 159 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: Well, identify as a terrorist symbol, it's purely subjective. 160 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: Well, it's something that has been declared by the Australian 161 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: government through Asio et cetera. 162 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 4: Yep, and we saw in Melbourne the response of the 163 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 4: ad efforts that they could not arrest anyone for displayinga 164 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 4: as well las flags. That's right, they couldn't. It's not illegal. 165 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: So so if if somebody displays that, if police move in, 166 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: you'll you'll be okay with that? 167 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 4: What do you mean? I don't understand. 168 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: Well, if somebody is displaying a symbol that is listed 169 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: to a terrorist organization, if one is displayed, you'd be 170 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: prepared to see police move in. 171 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 4: I think it. Processes have come with a flag at 172 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 4: a protest, this flag, they have a right to do so. 173 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 4: But if police move in and ask them to remove it, then, 174 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 4: as an organizer, to avoid escalation, to avoid any violence, 175 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 4: I would ask yes, I would all right. I would 176 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 4: say that it's best to comply. 177 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So okay again October seven. Now, I've 178 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: had a long held view, Habiba that if Hamas returned 179 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: the hostage remaining hostages to Israel, Israel has no right 180 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: to be doing what it's been doing over the last 181 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: twelve months. Would you not agree with that? 182 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 4: I think it's evidentially clear Israel does not care about hostages. 183 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 4: They killed their own hostages. I think when Israel goes 184 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 4: and killed that is responsible for the peace talk like 185 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 4: it is Maya Haniah in Tahran who that person was 186 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 4: the main negotiator for peace talks and Israel compan kills him. 187 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 4: This is a sign. This tells you that Israel is 188 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 4: not interested in peace. Israel does not care about his hostages. 189 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 4: That has been made abundantly clear when they come out 190 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: with ridiculous, ridiculous so called cease fire deals saying that oh, 191 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 4: we will do we will still occupy Gaza militarily, but 192 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 4: you just can't do anything. This is just asking Gaza 193 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 4: to completely submit to being killed. So Israel does not 194 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 4: care about hostages. No, if they did, they would release 195 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 4: more than eight thousand Palestinian hostages they're holding onto. They 196 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 4: would stop committing war crimes, they would stop killing children, 197 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 4: they would stop bombing hospitals and schools and refugee camps. 198 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: So efforts to efforts to rescue the hostages. You don't 199 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: think that's a sign they're caring for their hostages and 200 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: trying to get them back. 201 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 4: There are absolutely no efforts to rescue hostages. This is 202 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 4: not true. This is made up oneilear that they only 203 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 4: want to buy their own admission Flatten Gaza, by their 204 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 4: own admission, calling the people of Gaza human animals. So 205 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: they want this is about genocide, This is about expanding 206 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 4: their occupation, and this is about completely wiping out the 207 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 4: civilian population. This is Israel's intentions, this is Israel's acts, 208 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 4: this is Israel's chance, and it's all evidence. It's all 209 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 4: there in the past twelve months of their actions and 210 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 4: seventy six years of occupation. 211 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: All right, Habiba Jaguri, thank you for your time this morning, 212 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: thank you for coming on. Thank you Matthew Little Asker 213 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: organizer and pro Palestinian activist. And we'll be there on 214 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: October seven, no plans to change from that date, the 215 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: one year anniversary of Hamas's incursion into Israel, in which 216 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: twelve hundred people were killed, and were killed horribly in 217 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: most cases, just absolutely horribly. So the rally will go 218 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: ahead on Monday, which happens to be a public holiday,
