Press TV has conducted an interview with Paul Larudee, co-founder of the Free Palestine Movement from San Francisco, and Richard Millet, journalist and political commentator from London, to discuss the continuous Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Larudee says the “normal business of Israeli citizens is to serve in the military and to kill Palestinians and to promote ethnic cleansing.” He argues that Israel has become the least safe place in the world for Jews, because the Tel Aviv regime’s policies are promoting insecurity and violence in the occupied lands of Palestine.

He also notes that there is “no bigger terrorist than Israel” as the Israelis frequently raid Arab villages and attack Palestinian houses, adding that Israeli forces kidnap, torture and execute Palestinian youths in order to cause anger and uprising.

The Tel Aviv regime does not want to stop the violence in the occupied territories, he argues. If the Israelis were serious about reducing the daily clashes, Larudee says, they would halt the siege of Palestinian lands and respect the Muslims’ rights to worship at their religious places such as al-Aqsa Mosque.

Pointing to the US-Israeli ties, he says, “the United States and Israel have a common interest and a common history,” because the US managed to wipe out the American Indians in northern America and take all of their land, killing most and expelling the others.

Millet, for his part, believes the United States understands that Israel is “surrounded by terrorist groups” and that Americans appreciate the Israelis for attacking the Lebanese Hezbollah movement and the Palestinian Islamic movement of Hamas.
