00:00वेभाग भाशा में आपका स्वागत हैं, हम बात करने जा रहे हैं, जो अंद्रे से, जो विष्व विख्यात, अर्थ शास्त्री हैं, एकनॉमिस्ट हैं, और दिल्ली में फिलिस्तीन के पक्ष में एक प्रोटेस्ट में शामिल हुए, फिलिस्तीन, why it is so important to have a protest in Delhi on Palestine?
00:21I think there is an obvious need for protests, not only in Delhi, but all over the world, and it is happening in most countries, including to some extent in India, but not enough.
00:32When two million people are being starved, bombed, terrified, displaced for two years, including thousands of children, then as human beings we have to protest, whether or not the government gives us permission.
00:46So the idea of this protest was to join all the people around the world who are opposing this genocide and asking for an immediate ceasefire.
00:58And the idea was also to expose the complicity of the Indian government, because it's not a secret that the Indian government is with Israel and has done very little to oppose this genocide.
01:07And it is also an affirmation of our right to protest. As you know, the government now very rarely gives permission to protest anywhere on anything.
01:17Today the police was telling us, why don't you ask for permission, but they know very well that they refuse permission for this kind of protest.
01:23So we have a duty to protest in this situation, whether or not the government gives permission.
01:28So we did what we had to do, and we will continue doing it.
01:31We came to oppose the genocide in Gaza, to demand an immediate ceasefire, and also to expose the complicity of the Indian government, which is always supporting Israel, and to defend our right to protest peacefully.
01:44This is very important. This is a public place. We were not disturbing anybody. We were not causing any inconvenience to the public.
01:51And in these circumstances, I think we all have a right to come on the streets, whether the government gives us permission or not.
01:56One last thing that the international forums, Prime Minister, or in the BRICS also, the declaration, there is a reference of genocide on Palestine.
02:09But why India is a signatory to the BRICS? But why we can't protest in Delhi or India? Why it is a crime just to speak about the genocide?
02:18The reason why the government of India is with Israel is that it is dependent on Israel for technology, especially for defense technology, for surveillance technology.
02:29There are also all kinds of commercial ties between Indian business and Israel business, whereas the Palestinians have nothing to offer.
02:36They are powerless, defeated people. They have nothing to offer.
02:40So naturally, the government sides with Israel. That does not mean that the people sides with Israel.
02:46I am sure that in an average Indian village, if you told people truthfully what is happening in Gaza today, in one voice they would say, this is wrong.
02:56They would say, it is wrong to bomb children. It is wrong to starve children.
03:00So I am sure that the sentiment of the people, despite what happened today, is with the people of Palestine, to the extent that they are well informed.
03:07Yeah, this was the last thing that the UN special reputure, Albini, she wrote a very important thing, economics of genocide.
03:17So how you see, and she is facing the sanctions now, so how you feel that, because you are also economic, so this term, economics of genocide, is very scary for me.
03:29So what she is saying is similar to what I was saying, that it is because of economic interests that so many people are siding with Israel.
03:36If it were a crime scene, Palestine would have the fingerprints of all of us, from what we buy, where we put our savings, where our pensions come from, the technology we use.
03:47Because if the genocide has not stopped, it is also because it is a lucrative endeavor.
03:54It pays and pays well.
03:56Now, and this is the problem, the private sector has historically escaped accountability.
04:03But no, Palestine is clearly a red line.
04:07We have an international legal framework, which is strong enough to say it's unlawful to engage with Israel as long as it maintains an unlawful occupation, permanent occupation.
04:17It continues to commit, and it's accused to be committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and even genocide.
04:27So we need to use this power to say no to this system.
04:31If not now, when?
04:33And if not us, who?
04:34My last report covers the involvement of the private sector in the unlawful activities that are taking place in the occupied Palestinian territory.
04:48For 57 years, private actors have been pivotal to enable Israel to establish and expand an economy of occupation that has been made of displacement and replacement of the Palestinians,
05:10that in the last 20 months has turned into an economy of genocide.
05:14Our manufacturers and big tech, but also construction businesses, supply chains, goods production, services production, tourism industry,
05:24and then even universities and charities and banks, pension funds, instead of withdrawing support,
05:32these private entities have either continued business as usual or even increased their engagement.
05:40Today is a test to prove the fact that even the private sector needs to be held accountable.
05:49Israel is the powerful party.
05:51Israel is the rich party.
05:52Israel is the party that has technology, influence, money, everything.
05:57So naturally, the powerful constituencies tend to seek each other and to ally with each other.
06:04But we as people must have a different perspective based on humanity and based on solidarity.
