The Knesset elections for the Israeli regime are over.

The first of its kind in three years, put off while the Zionist war machine was busy in its extermination campaign against the Gaza Strip’s civilians. With most votes counted, no candidate has secured a 61-seat majority needed to rule, and now it’s down to Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot and their parties, the Likud and Yashar respectively. Charlotte Kates, international coordinator, Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, from Beirut, and Kevin Barrett, editor, Al-Andalus Tribune, from Saidia, Morocco, are tonight’s guests.

Press TV: Hello everyone and welcome. The Knesset elections for the Israeli regime are over. First of its kind in three years, put off while the Zionist war machine was busying its extermination campaign of the Gaza Strip’s civilian population and the annihilation of its infrastructure. With most votes counted, no candidate has secured a 61-seat majority needed to govern.

And now it’s down to Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot and their parties, the Likud and Yashar, respectively. The election has been marred, though, with dirt and mudslinging and allegations of sedition, incompetence and corruption between candidates, and marked by uncertainty…

Let’s delve into exactly which candidate and party supports a path toward peace with Palestinians, will work to end genocide, settlement expansion, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, occupy less, withdraw more, live and let live, and support the two-state solution. In other words, how much does the Zionist election really matter? Let’s get into it. And now for our guests.

Joining us is Charlotte Kates, International Coordinator at the Asamidun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network from Beirut. And Dr. Kevin Barrett, editor at Al-Andalus Tribune, joining us from Saidia, Morocco. Hello to both of you and welcome to the program. Nice to have you both. I guess Dr. Barrett, we’ll start with you, sir. Your opening thoughts on the occupying regime’s Knesset election and how this nasty rhetoric between candidates, why they’ve gotten so nasty, and why it seems some very deep disdain, some deep divisions, are being unearthed, but ultimately it seems like nothing is really going to change.

Kevin Barrett: Well, these are really nasty people. Psychopathic leadership, which is evident in a lot of places, especially the United States recently, has always been off-the-charts in occupied Palestine. For whatever reason, the Zionist leadership has always consisted of gangsters. You can go back and read Thomas Suarez’s book, State of Terror, about how Zionist terror created the State of Israel. These people were thugs, criminals, mafiosi types who didn’t hesitate to slaughter not just the British and obviously the Arabs, but their own people as well. And so the descendants of these criminal terror gangs became the leadership of the Zionist entity. And that’s what we still have.

We have these two self-proclaimed Zionist parties. And what that means is that they’re two genocide parties. On the one hand, we have Netanyahu who presided over this just completely insane, brutal, bloody genocide of Gaza. And that’s just the latest of the crimes that he’s committed.

And then Eisenkot is the guy who gave us the Dahia Doctrine, which is the genocide doctrine of “disproportionate response.” In other words, if there’s any kind of attack or even a false flag attack, that’s your excuse to commit genocide and to exterminate Amalek, as their Bible tells them: Kill every man, woman, child, animal, even the pets, even the domestic animals.

So this is a really sick society. And the vast majority of Israeli Jews voted for one or another of these pro-genocide parties. At least 95% of Israeli Jews voted for genocide.

The Arabs, many of them, didn’t, but they’re caught up in this genocide project. So the answer to that question that you posed earlier, “does this election in occupied Palestine really matter?” is: “Not in the sense that it could possibly change the evil nature of the leadership in Tel Aviv.”

But what could happen is that as a result of this outcome, where both sides are snarling at each other and insulting each other and vying for power, and both are refusing to make a majority by bringing in the Arab parties, then it’s a gridlock. And that gridlock could set the stage for civil war, or for other forms of the continued falling apart and implosion of the evil genocidal Zionist entity. And so I guess from that standpoint, it’s not the worst of outcomes. But they’re just going down and bringing the whole region with them, whatever they do, whoever’s in power.

It’s a very, very sad situation, and it’s disgusting to watch this being covered by Western media as if it’s a meaningful election in a normal democratic society.

Press TV: Thank you there, Dr. Barrett. And Charlotte Kates
