[00:00:04] to use this Syria TV website [00:00:05] which is that my initial brings you the event as it is and gives you [00:00:08] matter has become, the context to complete the vision. [00:00:11] Continuous coverage and balanced analysis [00:00:14] and content that puts people at the heart of the story. I would like to draw your attention [00:00:18] and then they would disappear. to this breaking news: Bashar al-Assad's escape. [00:00:24] votes were much many appointments, whether in Syria TV website, Al-Sayed, but rather supported his opponent because knowledge begins with a question, and the truth [00:00:27] is broader than the news. [00:00:35] position yesterday. [00:00:43] Welcome. Abdul Rahman Al-Sayed, of Egyptian [00:00:47] origin, won the Democratic Party's nomination for the Senate [00:00:51] elections in the state of Michigan, USA, after defeating Haley [00:00:54] Stevens, who was supported by pro-Israel [00:00:57] years, this lobby groups. This pushes progressive [00:01:00] viewers. It is candidates for the Democratic Party to the forefront day [00:01:03] after day. Abdul by his American [00:01:07] name, or Abdul Rahman Al-Sayed, referring to his [00:01:11] Egyptian and Palestinian roots, is an American [00:01:14] doctor who won the Democratic Party's nomination for the Senate [00:01:17] elections in the state of Michigan, [00:01:21] thus becoming the first Muslim to come close to membership in the most [00:01:25] mood or change in this important council in American decision-making. [00:01:30] is important in this However, Abdul Rahman, who calls for an end to unconditional [00:01:32] American military aid to Israel, and who sees [00:01:36] Israel's crimes in the Gaza Strip as genocide, [00:01:39] with his victory, defeated [00:01:42] his opponent, Congresswoman Haley Stevens, a member of Congress for four [00:01:46] terms. Stevens received unprecedented [00:01:49] support from pro-Israel lobby groups, [00:01:52] estimated at more than $50 million, with [00:01:56] This a significant gradual increase in support for candidates of the progressive [00:02:00] wing, who are not pro-Israel, in the primary [00:02:03] elections, which precede [00:02:05] Yes, we can criticize it. What's the problem [00:02:05] will this not have a significant the midterm elections [00:02:07] with that? The First Amendment held in November of this year. [00:02:10] Three others among them in [00:02:13] in general? New York won a nomination for the House of Representatives. [00:02:17] The rise of Abdul Rahman from the progressive wing of the Democratic [00:02:20] Party, and before him the rise of his colleague in the party, [00:02:23] Zohran Mamdani, from the left wing to become Mayor [00:02:27] of New York, is added to the vote of 100 [00:02:30] three Democratic [00:02:33] with stopping aid to any members of the House of Representatives in last July to cancel annual [00:02:35] military aid to Israel, compared to 98 Democrats [00:02:39] ديمقراطيا صوت [00:02:41] with two who voted in favor of Israel. All [00:02:44] of this perhaps indicates [00:02:46] cause with the rise of this a change that has begun to take shape within the Democratic Party [00:02:49] and in its voter base. Among its implications [00:02:52] is the tendency of youth and minorities to sympathize with [00:02:55] Palestinians, the rise of the progressive wing within [00:02:59] the party, and the horrors of the war [00:03:02] In my opinion, this in Gaza. Perhaps the change in the voices of anti-Israel [00:03:06] way. This [00:03:06] And this would not have Democrats within the party from a small minority a few [00:03:08] because years ago to a mainstream [00:03:11] current today, [00:03:14] Aleppo, from portends challenges that will face the Israeli occupation government [00:03:16] and at the same time opens up prospects for the voice that says [00:03:20] in the Middle East, "America First," and the accompanying Israeli [00:03:23] isolation that is increasingly [00:03:27] in the region. Now, specifically the Republican state. The West Bank growing Syria TV on day by day. [00:03:30] The topic with our guests, Dr. Tariq Abu Ghazaleh, political activist [00:03:34] from Washington, and Adel Shadeed, researcher specialized in Israeli [00:03:38] and this affairs from Hebron. Welcome to you both. Dr. Tariq, why did Abdul [00:03:42] Rahman Al-Sayed's victory cause such a stir, even though it was a victory [00:03:46] in the Democratic Party's primary elections [00:03:49] for a Senate [00:03:50] actually contribute to a change in this seat in Michigan? [00:03:54] Thank you for hosting [00:03:57] me. This victory really did, as you mentioned, [00:04:00] attract a lot of attention. First, because it is [00:04:04] for a position as a Senator. There are only 100 positions [00:04:07] in all of the United States of America, two for each [00:04:11] state. It is not like the House [00:04:13] of Representatives, where there are [00:04:15] in Israel, this 435 [00:04:19] is what has become annoying. It is members of the House of Representatives. This is the first point. The second point is that this victory [00:04:23] in America, neither from is a victory for the progressive [00:04:27] wing of the Democratic Party, [00:04:32] therefore, this expresses the as you mentioned in the report. And this means that now in [00:04:35] the upcoming elections on [00:04:38] of this November 3rd, which is about two [00:04:41] months and a little more away, the path has [00:04:45] say the number reached $70 million. become almost open, unless [00:04:50] when Obama came to and hit her head on the ground, unexpected surprises occur, for Dr. Abdul Rahman [00:04:51] many of the Christian Al-Sayed to win this position. This position now, you [00:04:55] will be [00:04:58] the first Senator [00:05:00] elections in the House [00:05:01] This who will enable the Democrats to regain the majority [00:05:04] Therefore, in the Senate. [00:05:07] This is very important. The Senate [00:05:09] but it was never now is [00:05:10] in harmony with the mainstream. 47 for Democrats and 53 [00:05:14] for Republicans. This means that all appointments made by the President [00:05:17] will not be completed unless [00:05:20] it becomes 51 and not 50. [00:05:23] 51 for Democrats, compared to 49 [00:05:27] for Republicans. Then the Democrats [00:05:30] will be able to stop [00:05:34] the Supreme Constitutional Court, and thus hinder President [00:05:38] Trump's policies in many issues. [00:05:45] the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) supported [00:05:48] Abdul Rahman Al-Sayed's opponent, meaning [00:05:50] they wanted her to win. Estimates indicate more than $50 million [00:05:54] was spent on this campaign, but despite that, [00:05:57] Abdul, as he is called in the United States, [00:06:01] won. What is your explanation [00:06:02] for that? [00:06:06] My greetings to you, Mr. Muhammad, and to your guest, Dr. Tariq, [00:06:10] and to your honorable natural that [00:06:13] AIPAC and the Zionist [00:06:17] Jewish organizations [00:06:20] supporting Israel would support [00:06:23] the rival candidate of this candidate, who has [00:06:27] been subjected to a campaign of demonization and defamation [00:06:30] from Israel and its friends, claiming [00:06:33] that he is a Muslim and that the interests of the United States [00:06:37] do not concern him, and so on. [00:06:40] But what matter [00:06:43] is that the last war on Gaza, [00:06:47] the current war of extermination, revealed that [00:06:50] there is a shift in American public opinion from the Israeli [00:06:53] point of view, and no one in Israel knows [00:06:57] if this shift was a result of what [00:07:00] Israel did in the Gaza Strip after October [00:07:04] 7th, of the extermination that targeted all [00:07:08] Palestinians there: women, men, children, [00:07:11] and elderly. Or if this shift preceded [00:07:14] that. The strange thing is that the candidate who won [00:07:17] today, Mr. [00:07:21] from Michigan, [00:07:24] spoke after his victory about not only criticizing [00:07:27] the current government and Benjamin Netanyahu, but also [00:07:31] his criticism of Israel, the state that [00:07:34] practices racial discrimination and apartheid, [00:07:38] and called for an end to American military aid provided [00:07:41] to Israel. He called for an end to [00:07:44] unconditional aid to Israel [00:07:47] or others, and specifically [00:07:50] stated that it is unreasonable for American [00:07:54] parties, referring to the Democratic [00:07:57] Party to which he belongs, to support [00:08:00] the two-state solution and at the same [00:08:04] time provide unconditional support to Israel to prevent, [00:08:07] cancel, and thwart [00:08:08] the two-state solution. [00:08:14] shift in the United States [00:08:18] is becoming a source of concern for Israel, not [00:08:21] from today we will see a change in American [00:08:24] policy towards Israel. No, American policy [00:08:27] is not only governed by one person. It is true that this [00:08:31] shift is important, but in the end, this will be one of [00:08:34] the senators, one out of 100, and he will not be the one to decide. [00:08:38] He is one out of 100, and there is a Senate of 435 [00:08:45] in the House of Representatives. Perhaps I will return to you on this point and the change in policies, but before [00:08:49] that, regarding the general American electoral [00:08:53] mood, Dr. Tariq, to what extent did [00:08:56] the significant American support for Israel in the [00:08:59] Gaza war [00:09:03] mood among American [00:09:04] voters? [00:09:07] The change in mood is not due to American [00:09:09] support for Israel. American [00:09:13] support for Israel has been going on for decades, [00:09:16] and the mood was [00:09:20] accustomed to that. However, the change [00:09:23] and transformation that occurred in the entity state, [00:09:28] transformation [00:09:31] unacceptable to the youth [00:09:35] the Democratic Party nor from the Republican Party. These are [00:09:39] the racist practices that we see every [00:09:43] day, and perhaps these practices existed before, but [00:09:46] there were no social media, there were no [00:09:49] instant cameras to record. I mean, [00:09:52] the scene of the nun who was pushed by the Zionist settler [00:09:56] and fell [00:10:00] on the stone, this shakes [00:10:04] bases here, and indeed [00:10:07] many changed their positions after [00:10:11] this incident. You are now talking about a mood shift [00:10:15] that is directly proportional to what is happening in Israel, and what is happening in Israel [00:10:19] now cannot be reversed, the clock cannot be turned back [00:10:22] when you have Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich. [00:10:26] These are the leaders of Israel. You are talking about a system [00:10:29] that is now moving in this direction, and therefore it cannot be reversed, and this is what we see [00:10:33] now, of course, with the issue of Gaza. There is an important [00:10:36] point that the victory that happened today, [00:10:40] early today, is not only due to Gaza. In Michigan, [00:10:43] the voter in Michigan also has [00:10:46] priorities, including health, education, [00:10:49] and fighting corruption. Gaza [00:10:52] is one of them, but it is not the only issue. But, [00:10:56] Dr. Tariq, the idea is that previously, historically, perhaps [00:10:59] candidates used to [00:11:02] have support for Israel as one of the keys to their election [00:11:06] campaigns, between Democrats and Republicans. [00:11:09] Now, no candidate comes out and criticizes, as our [00:11:13] guest said, not only the Israeli right-wing government, but the Israeli [00:11:16] state and the genocide in Gaza, the war of annihilation. [00:11:19] Therefore, to what extent can [00:11:23] we say that the Israeli lobby has lost some [00:11:26] of its power over the elections? [00:11:29] Indeed, the Israeli lobby has now lost a lot, [00:11:32] much of its power. Now, even among those [00:11:35] who run for the House of Representatives, I call [00:11:38] one of them and ask him the first question, "Are [00:11:42] you receiving [00:11:45] aid from or donations [00:11:49] from AIPAC?" "No, never. We do not receive any, [00:11:52] and even war criminal Netanyahu must go to [00:11:55] the International Criminal Court." This is the direction, [00:11:59] and its cause [00:12:01] is the natural evolution of this state. This state, this is [00:12:04] its natural evolution. We must understand that, and understanding that [00:12:08] will help us in the future. And I am not just talking about [00:12:11] Palestine, I am talking about all the countries of the Levant, about Syria. [00:12:14] Syria suffers from Israeli [00:12:18] aggression day and night. [00:12:21] matter cannot be covered up. Therefore, this [00:12:25] is the change we see every day. Mr. Adel, in your opinion, [00:12:30] impact on American policies [00:12:33] towards the Palestinian cause and the region [00:12:38] I mean, in the short [00:12:41] term, this is linked to the results [00:12:44] of the midterm [00:12:46] elections, and whether the Republican Party will regain [00:12:50] its majority and influence. [00:12:53] As for the long term, certainly, and this [00:12:57] is what worries Israel, because [00:12:59] we are facing a new structure [00:13:03] of American society [00:13:06] trends that do not align with Israel's [00:13:09] interests. The first trend is the general [00:13:12] trend that Israel is no [00:13:15] longer an American red line or a sacred [00:13:18] cow. It was forbidden to criticize [00:13:21] Israel. But today, Israel is criticized, [00:13:25] its policies are criticized, and Benjamin Netanyahu is criticized. [00:13:31] happened without a set of considerations. As Dr. Tariq said, [00:13:35] social media globalization, and so [00:13:37] on. But in the end, what led [00:13:41] to this reality are two issues: the first [00:13:44] is this Israeli behavior and this support from administrations, [00:13:50] one, and the other change, which is no less [00:13:54] dangerous from the Israeli perspective, is that [00:13:56] day by day, the influence of the progressive [00:13:59] Democratic forces within the Democratic Party [00:14:03] is increasing. This is a very disturbing [00:14:07] change for Israel because it includes [00:14:11] the youth, and specifically Jewish youth. [00:14:14] In the long run, these are the ones who [00:14:18] protested in university campuses two years [00:14:22] ago against Israeli policies. Some of them [00:14:25] and most of them will be members of the Senate [00:14:28] and Congress in the future. They will be ministers, [00:14:31] officials, and judges in the army, and [00:14:34] so on. This is an important point that I will convey to Dr. Tariq. [00:14:38] Allow me to ask Dr. Tariq's opinion on it. To what extent, Dr. Tariq, [00:14:41] is the victory of Abdul Rahman Al-Sayed [00:14:45] part of perhaps a current of the new [00:14:49] generation within the Democratic Party that adopts [00:14:52] different approaches, and [00:14:57] progress of this trend? That is correct, [00:15:01] 100% correct. He is part [00:15:03] trend. This trend did not form [00:15:06] yesterday, but rather has been [00:15:10] forming for years. We can say that [00:15:15] power, this trend began to emerge. [00:15:18] There was the established mainstream, [00:15:20] and then the current that was to the left of this current. [00:15:26] current has its own specificities and its own [00:15:30] goals, [00:15:35] The Democratic Party used [00:15:40] progressive current. Today, [00:15:44] after the progressive current grew tired of [00:15:48] pleading with the leaders, or rather, the heads [00:15:51] of the Democratic Party, and an example of this is that the governor [00:15:55] of Michigan [00:15:58] did not support Abdul Rahman [00:16:01] in the elections. This is a big deal. [00:16:05] And she supports [00:16:08] the establishment candidate, the mainstream candidate, [00:16:11] and does not support the progressive. Many of them, [00:16:15] Chuck Schumer, the head of the Democratic caucus in [00:16:19] the Senate, did not support them. They all do not support [00:16:22] them because they do not want them to win. One of the reasons, of course, [00:16:25] is their position on [00:16:29] Israel and other issues. But after [00:16:34] current and its young base grew tired [00:16:38] of what was happening and chose a different path. [00:16:41] This is the path that is now beginning to take shape, and there is a path [00:16:45] taking shape now in the Republican Party. We see [00:16:48] that also within this establishment, [00:16:51] even within the Republican Party. [00:16:55] Yes, okay. Mr. Adel, I want to go back to you to complete [00:16:58] the idea of how Israel views this [00:17:03] general American electoral [00:17:05] mood. Mr. [00:17:08] Mohammed, Israel [00:17:11] to this day, even after the control of this [00:17:15] current that represents a fusion [00:17:18] between the two religious nationalist currents [00:17:21] of the settlers' group Smotrich and Ben Gvir [00:17:24] and Maoz and Strock, which is [00:17:26] the group of Haredim [00:17:30] who do not pay much attention to international [00:17:34] support, consider that the survival of Israel [00:17:37] and its divine decree are linked [00:17:41] to the extent of Jewish adherence to the Torah [00:17:44] and its laws and prayers, and so on. But the deep state [00:17:46] and Israel to this day operate according [00:17:50] to a rule established by Herzl [00:17:54] and affirmed by Ben-Gurion, [00:17:57] which is that without the reliance [00:17:59] and alliance [00:18:01] of Israel with a major power and Israel receiving [00:18:04] support from a major power, there is no possibility [00:18:08] of its survival. Secondly, [00:18:11] Israel must continue to present and define [00:18:14] itself as an extension of Western [00:18:18] civilization in the region. And by Western civilization [00:18:22] in the region, I mean the United States of America. Therefore, [00:18:25] Israel deliberately calls America [00:18:28] the patron of liberal and democratic [00:18:31] civilization in the world. But it seems, Mr. Adel, that in the American [00:18:35] street, this image that organically links Israel [00:18:39] and the United States is changing in this [00:18:43] is important, I mean, Israel, Mr. Mohammed, [00:18:47] defines itself with two definitions: [00:18:49] that it is the state of all Jews in the world, [00:18:53] and that it is the only civilized democratic state [00:18:58] among the jungle of savages, and that it is [00:19:01] an extension of Western civilization [00:19:05] when we see this transformation [00:19:08] in Western civilization and among Jews of the world, [00:19:11] and specifically among the youth in America and Europe, [00:19:16] change begins in two contradictory [00:19:18] directions, an increase in the pace [00:19:22] of criticism of Israel, and in return, [00:19:25] we notice support for Palestinian rights. [00:19:28] This change, if [00:19:31] this trend continues in an escalating [00:19:35] manner and strengthens, will certainly [00:19:37] affect American support policies towards [00:19:41] Israel. And Israel has proven, by the events [00:19:44] after October 7th, that without American [00:19:48] political, military, security, financial, [00:19:51] and legal support, it cannot last for [00:19:55] a week. Okay, Mr. Tariq, now we are talking, as we said [00:19:58] at the beginning, that Abdul's victory [00:20:01] may be considered by some as an indicator, as you also mentioned, [00:20:05] of a new anti-establishment [00:20:09] current, a progressive current within the Democratic [00:20:11] Party. To what extent might [00:20:15] this lead to new results [00:20:18] within Congress after the midterm [00:20:20] elections? And are the chances really good that [00:20:24] the Republican Party might lose its majority [00:20:27] in the upcoming elections? [00:20:31] The Republican Party is expected to lose its majority [00:20:34] in the upcoming [00:20:38] of Representatives at least. The battle now is for the Senate, [00:20:41] and therefore this victory was crucial in determining [00:20:45] whether the Democrats can reach [00:20:49] the magic number of one Senator. [00:20:54] This [00:20:58] I mean, it is now taken for granted that this current is not [00:21:01] just a fluke. There were flukes every four [00:21:04] to twelve years, [00:21:08] But now this current has begun [00:21:11] to control key positions. You are talking about the Mayor of New [00:21:15] York. Even Zohran Mamdani. [00:21:18] You are talking now about [00:21:22] Abdoul Sayed. [00:21:25] This House of Representatives repeats [00:21:28] every two years. She won without any [00:21:31] real opponent. We are talking about a truly [00:21:34] new current that has begun to solidify [00:21:38] and will continue to solidify. You are [00:21:40] now reading history in the future. [00:21:44] You now have a youth base that has changed its view [00:21:47] towards the two major parties, and it is now [00:21:51] only a matter of time until it takes complete [00:21:55] control. When these people grow up, they have already started to enter [00:21:58] all the electoral key positions. Elections here are not just congressional elections. Here, [00:22:02] elections are in schools, elections are in neighborhoods, [00:22:04] elections are in municipal councils, for cities, [00:22:08] for counties. They have started to infiltrate all of this, and therefore [00:22:12] this will have real and long-term [00:22:16] consequences. And this [00:22:19] this civilizational cycle does not come and go. [00:22:23] You now have the baby boomers who [00:22:27] came after World War II [00:22:29] and what followed. These people have grown [00:22:33] old now. I mean, they have either passed away or grown old. [00:22:36] Maybe they won't vote. Now you are talking about the new wave [00:22:40] of younger ages who have [00:22:43] nothing sacred, as your honorable guest mentioned, [00:22:46] that this sacred cow. They don't have anything sacred. [00:22:50] Israel is a state like any other state. We can criticize it. [00:22:57] of the American Constitution allows me to criticize it. [00:23:00] And this is what Abdul Rahman Al-Sayed excelled [00:23:03] at when he said, "I love American [00:23:06] Jews and I love Judaism as a heavenly [00:23:10] religion. My religion [00:23:12] commands me to do so, but I have a [00:23:16] problem with Israel." She asked him about aid, and he said, [00:23:19] "I have no problem [00:23:23] foreign country, as long as this money comes back here [00:23:26] to benefit the American voter." I return, Mr. Adel, to the point: do you think [00:23:30] there can be direct [00:23:33] repercussions on the Palestinian [00:23:36] current, especially since we are witnessing, [00:23:40] despite everything that happened in Gaza, [00:23:44] growing international momentum, it seems, [00:23:48] around the idea of supporting the two-state [00:23:51] solution from many European countries, for example, [00:23:55] and also countries in the region, and so on? In my opinion, [00:23:59] Mr. Mohammed, the two-state solution [00:24:02] has become a thing of the past. Even if [00:24:06] American administrations change, Israel [00:24:09] has not left any place for this [00:24:14] has become a wide network of settlements, [00:24:17] except for a deep change in the structure of Israeli [00:24:21] society, as in American society. But what gives [00:24:24] great importance to these elections that took place last [00:24:28] night and whose results were announced this [00:24:31] morning is that in [00:24:34] Michigan, which is an important [00:24:38] state in the United States, in the Israeli reading, and especially since [00:24:42] it is one of the swing states, [00:24:46] the fear is that what happened there might happen in [00:24:50] other swing states, and then there will be an [00:24:53] impact on the final result. But the most important [00:24:56] thing regarding your question is whether [00:24:59] this election will have implications for the Palestinian [00:25:03] cause. This is what bothers Israel, especially since [00:25:07] in his election campaign, before he was elected [00:25:10] and succeeded, his election campaign [00:25:13] adopted a discourse calling on the American administration [00:25:17] to make a profound change in its support and position on Israel. [00:25:20] Therefore, when he is elected [00:25:23] and succeeds despite the great support received by his [00:25:26] opponent, who strongly supports Israel, and there are [00:25:29] estimates that she received $50 million in support, estimates [00:25:35] This means that the vote [00:25:39] was not just for [00:25:41] Abdoul Sayed, or Abdul [00:25:44] Al-Sayed, but for the positions [00:25:47] he put forward in his election program [00:25:50] and in his election campaign. [00:25:54] we see this very significant interaction [00:25:58] in Israel regarding these elections. And by the way, there is an important [00:26:02] point that worries Israelis more, [00:26:08] estimates for Israelis [00:26:10] are that this narrow difference in votes between [00:26:14] him and his opponent was due to the absence [00:26:17] of many Arabs and Muslims from [00:26:21] voting. This means that American and Jewish [00:26:26] higher than Arab and Muslim votes. Thank you very much, Adel Shadeed, [00:26:30] researcher specialized in Israeli affairs from [00:26:32] Hebron, and Dr. Tariq Abu Ghazaleh, political activist from Washington.
