truth this week on the video stream. the israeli aggression against the people of palestine has a long and tumultuous history marked by genocide, occupation and countless of human rights violations. "the palestinian

struggle to liberate their country stands as one of the most enduring and contentious resistance movements in modern history. at its heart lies the issue of occupation with israel's presence in palestinian territories being a source of deep-seated grievances, violence and international concern. the roots of the israeli occupation of palestinian." territories can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the rise of the zionist movements advocating for the establishment of so-called jewish homeland in historical palestine. the balford declaration of 1917 issued by the british government lent support to these aspirations, laying the ground work for the eventual creation of israel in 1948. the events surrounding the...

creation of israel in 1948 known as the nakba or the catastrophe marked pivotal moment in the history of the region. hundreds of thousands of palestinians were displaced from their homes and became refugees as a result of the conflict between israeli and arab forces. in 1967 israel launched a strike against egypt, jordan and syria in what became known as the six-day war. supported by its western allies, including the united states and britain, the israely regime occupied the west bank, including east alrts, the gaza strip, the sinai peninsula, and the golen heights. this marked the beginning of israel's military occupation of palestinian territories, which continues to this day. palestinians tried all diplomatic and legal ways to end these right the occupation over the past seven. decades. in the early 1990s,

efforts were made to negotiate a peaceful resolution to allow palestinians to have their own state. known as the oslo accord, it never put an end to the israeli aggression, as the regime continued settlement expansion in the occupied territories. there were other deals including camp david, which never resulted in peace and only emboldened israel in its atrocities against palestinians. throughout its occupation of palestinian territories, israel has committed all kinds of atrocities against palestinians, including massacres and non-stop human rights abuses, such as land confiscation, home demolitions, arbitrary arrests, and excessive use of force against palestinian civilians. the palestinian resistance to the israeli occupation has taken various forms. it

started from peaceful protests to civil disobedience, but with major world powers unconditional support for israel, under whose influence even arab countries started normalizing ties with the regime, palestinians found no alternative to armed resistance to achieve their rights. palestinians decided to take up arms and fight for the liberation of their territory with groups such as hamas and islamic jihad gaining prominence in the popular struggle. what do you think do you advise me to continue as a slave? it's a right which has been granted for us who are living under occupation that the time the diplomacy and politics fail, it's the right of those people who are living under occupation to defend themselves with all means the victory. is has

to be snatched, especially when you are facing such extremist, murderous, criminal of leadership of your enemy, on october 7. june 2023, the palestinian resistance fighters launched their biggest operation yet, a massive and deadly response to over 70 years of israeli atrocities against them. thousands of rockets fired from gaza rain down on the occupied territories. the projectiles reached as far north as tel aviv and as far east as al gorez. shortly after palestinian fighters stormed towns in the south launching deadly. attacks and taking more than 200 captives, including military personnel. the 10-hour al-a flood operation dealt a humiliating blow to israel's much towted military and intelligence system. shortly after the

operation, the israeli military launched a massive strike on the besieged gaza strip that has killed more than 30,000 people, most them women and children so far. the israeli reg'. team encouraged by the us and western allies support outline three major objectives for this onslot on gaza. i have three goals. one goal is to defeat hamas, utterly defeat and destroy hamas. the second is to bring back our hostages and the third is to ensure that we don't have a similar threat in the future from gaza, and that what happens is gaza is good for israel, good for palestinians, good for the middle east, and to do that we need to..." to demilitarize gaza and deradicalize gaza. we cannot have uh, it mean for the forceilable future israely overriding military responsibility. the israeli regime has not only failed to achieve the goals, but also was forced to negotiate with hamas a sea spire. the failure

to achieve these goals has not only exposed the limitations of israel's military prowis, but has also highlighted the resilience and the determination of palestinian resistance forces. there is no doubt that operation alaqsa flood represented success for the resistance movement, success in carrying out a large-scale operation without the enemy being able to take action preemptively. this operation succeeded in seasing the entire gaza positions within just hours. this is undoubtedly a great achievement, but here's the question, was there any? expectation for the enemy's reaction, certainly, it was expected that there would be a reaction, but it is the nature of the occupation, it kills you, seizes your land, arrests you and imprisons you. for example, in the west bank in 2022, before the operations, the number of

marters was about 500, the number of wounded people who were taken to hospitals exceeded 3,00, we were talking about thousands of prisoners under this occupation for 75 years, you have two choices: either you do nothing and it continues to kill you, capture you and seize your land, or you resist and the enemy will continue the aggression, but the message will be conveyed that the palestinian people are still adhering to the right to resist, that the enemy is paying a price for the occupation. operational acts of flot marked a significant turning point for the palestinian people, showcasing the harsh reality of a... israel occupation to the world. this operation not only highlighted the plight of palestinians, but also indicated the power of palestinian resistance in a coastal territory which has been under siege for some 17 years. prior to this operation, arab states were

moving towards normalizing ties with israel, overshadowing the palestinian cause. however, the gaza war that ensued the october 7th operation. has shifted global attention back to the longstanding struggle of palestinians for freedom over the past seven decades. it's been a stark reminder of the brutality of the israeli occupation. despite israel's military might and reputation, the war in gaza has been perceived as a humiliating defeat for israel on multiple fronts. public opinion worldwide has increasingly turned against israel as images of civilian casualties and destruction in gaza have circulated widely, shedding light on the brutality by israeli forces which left no safe zone in gaza, hitting even hospitals and un refugee

shelters. the october 7th operation stands as a testament to the power of palestinian resistance, showcasing how a small and determined movement can withstand the might the israeli army backed by the us and other western countries. this operation highlighted the unwavoring resilience of the palestinian people. and emphasize that resistance is not only means of survival, but also powerful tool in securing their right to self-determination. the ability of palestinian fighters to hold their ground against one of the most advanced armies in the world has not only defied expectations, but also exposed the limitations of military might in the face of steadfast resistance. the refusal to surrender in the face of overwhelming odds sends a powerful message. the palestinian people will not be silenced or oppressed, but will continue to fight for

their rights and their dignity.

in the last episode we talked about how we can use proton beams to analyze ancient artifacts and gather data about uh where or when this ancient artifact was made uh based on cross referencing the data that we have gathered from it to historical data that is available to us uh and we're following up on the same concept of ancient artifact analy. sis and preservation in this episode, but this time using gamma rays and instead of

using uh historical data using math, so so that's why we've come here to dr. sohrapur building, was one of the original founders of the irradiation application research school uh to find out how we can take advantage of gamma race to gather more data about the age of an artifact and how we can preserve it for future generation, so that's what we're going to be covering in this episode of iran tech, with me your host aliza, stay tuned. let's start by talking about preservation. uh, preservation against what exactly? well, preservation against organic material, that is to say, microorganisms that exists within the the dirt. or even the air, these microorganisms mainly consisting of a fungy and
