is terry, it's fine most states have so many palestinians in gauze were coming together jane rather than to break that fast and pray. but some of the traditions of proving more difficult to carry out this, yet sums up behind it explains before is right as well. because of the right mind, hudson, a furnace cafe and russell used to sub hot coffee and t. now, it also acts as a mixture cinema, where displace palestinians, comfortable with distributed one modern cities. it's one of few places in rough uh the top electricity and internet. so we're going to go, well, not 1st of all, most of us have a fungus then the one that i want to try. now, people join the whole time. this case, i is good for the displace people who come from the north and from different parts of the gaza strip. the case i, which has 2 big tvs and engineers, is mainly dependent on solar energy. intimate here helps everyone to be in contact with the loved ones. because this and then these really seats on the cafe is not
12:31 pm
just the police for the payment on hold things. the people come and launch numbers off to evening prayers to watch the news. they want to know about the peace talks in the ceasefire negotiations. the humanitarian situation in roughly is by and many of the customers who come to the cafe leave intense for the displace. i've never had that i know i name and i come here because i have no other place to go. i can stay here until the time we come to watch tv and know the news. i can to make myself a cup of tea at home because of the lack of gas and sugar and much of the situation as a home is very tough. our life is very difficult. for a few hours a day, a fantasies he does his best to let customers escape the realities of the world, comes him at and finally, some eye catching pictures from iceland to his natures. misspoke tatiana events at the same time and wrapped in volcano and the northern lights. full reduction saying
12:32 pm
this many months. the nearby fishing town, village of green, vic, the flows of love are now being seen that guides the background of the road. 40 honest, meanwhile, crazy and disruption for iceland as though she really is something else, is that beautiful and that's it full of them. so she can follow all the stories that we're covering. all the websites of the houses that don't come fully, but you probably will have the news over here in just in the hop last time the next on i'll just say what it's, it's well a buffalo to stay with us the in an increasingly complex world. it's fair amount to be direct instruction was there should be this month on sort of discussions that come through the norm upfront on how to 0. to
12:33 pm
me, it's an extremely cynical moments for international law. it's an extremely devastating moment for the palestinian people. the, there are rules under international law and no matter which way you look at this is real as in violation of those rules. as of the 7th of october, there's no one north of international humanitarian law that does no being violated by the name of the man. i never imagined that in my life i would see a genocide taking place in real time before my eyes. the fact that it is being protected by most western government takes it to
12:34 pm
a level that i just never imagined. would it be possible? the colors are with a single list. you're not alone. you're not alone. canada will be a friend of israel and to say it's right suiting it's right to exist. and he sort of has the right to defend itself. in fact, it has the duty to defend piece by piece that the buyers from tied it up to ship. some warranty for, for that false company with the white, despite as
12:35 pm
a default application as your friend, suicide, with you in solidarity, we will stand with your people. and we also want you to if one looks at all political leaders today and all of our mainstream politicians, they all the most mandation, the most mediocre, the least talented group of politicians that i can remember during my almost 60 years on this that it is astonishing just how deeply corrupt materially i'm the morally they are. because many of them via, through donations to the political parties, the emotions, to them passively donations to their organizations. like the labor of friends of israel, the conservative friends of israel, the democratic friends of israel, the republican friends of israel, and the multiple in myriad other organizations like that. they provide an extremely good living for that to pass. and for those political parties,
12:36 pm
the thank you for having me, and i'm looking forward to having a thorough discussion about where everybody goes from here. every day. in the depths and breath of cooperation, the west is intimately involved in israel's genocidal campaign. in garza, for months, we have seen us officials a firm time and again that there are no red lines for israel using exactly that language. when of course, we know that international law draws many red lines, and yet the us has come out and stark opposition. granting israel full authority to proceed and to create as much death and destruction as it sees fit. the shocked by the last old auction of the international community. i'm shocked by the hands raised by the us unbox that are in the security council. voting against s a
12:37 pm
saw your between that says fire. i'm shocked by the lack of action of principal stage. we need to take, again, our principles, concrete, stand against this observation, and start thinking of function. the, what we've seen is the laws of war are used against weaker parties. but if you are, ally is the united states. and if you are allied can veto any security council resolution. and if you're allies are the european states, then the chances that the i c c will bring you to justice are very, very slim. the international court of justice is
12:38 pm
a court that render is guilty. the losers in the conflict. it is a court of victories and a court that has double standards for the allies of the powerful and for those that it thinks of as it's and that means the reviews it. so that's it to submission to the international court of justice is some sort of anti semitic screed. i'm black libel. this is nonsense that you couldn't make up the nonsense that is being a non ca, to constantly, not just by the israelis, but that is imperative by the us government, the u. k. government, the german government, the french government, etc. and this is being done to defend the indefensible, to defend the slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians to defend
12:39 pm
the test on health facilities on residential homes and places of worship on places of what we're seeing, the genocide taking place in gaza. well, choose matters to where it is. you go after you choose to see there's a who's c con trimball time is true. you don't have to be jude be a scientist. a don't have to be to, to be a scientist. it stinks a nationalist community and its powerful member states life, particularly the the us but in general weston countries, which is still pilot. and it said we didn't individual power that some member states can exercise within the when the fee of those members state are from the west. it does or something. no african countries has
12:40 pm
a veto power in the united emission system. it's the and star system which is not only representative of where the world is today, but i would like to see this change and we need to think of better mechanisms not only inside the law, but how the light is applied to ensure that there is no double standards, so it's both a changing of the laws to so that they address the current circumstances. but also the institutions of the judicial institutions that apply the law. so they, they don't apply it with double standards and we will continue to actively engage in the hard work of direct diplomacy on the ground until we reach a final solution. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready
12:41 pm
the destruction of over 70 percent of cause of the killing of over $30000.00 palestinians, including $13000.00 boston and babies and children, the injuring of around now $70000.00 palestinians. and the destruction of almost all of the civilian infrastructure in gauze. international law prohibits this completely. we have to remind the all, but there are at least in theory rules which is real, must abide by and which is violating the, the is doing anything they can in are to minimize the cause of it says when
12:42 pm
it targets the, the military targets. but again, we are in the war in the war civilians. gus harris, he will never see the i is the targets shoot down as severely and you will never see a group of children walking on the beach of guys on israel, target them specifically, or an old lady crossing the street and isn't still the old lady is wise does not target civilians as the jo, a foil, and the house of a member of an eskimo. do the incident with the loan of love will not belong to another for lunch on the box is red target military target is why the target paris and when this terrorist surrounds himself with cecilia, is with this little children with this old lady with this all people of
12:43 pm
this city aliens life gets hurt, but it's not on the fault of israel is on the fault of the one who surrounded himself with a civilian as the one that to use them as human shields. you just have the argument of the human shoes of palestinians in general and being a eager to sacrifice their own children as human shields. that's been. ready and this nice over and over the 1st one to this nice design human was editor of gold stone. that the head of the 1st commission of inquiry over the 1st war in gaza . and it has been disproven over and over. what is the evidence, the
12:44 pm
israel's instruction to the palestinians 1st to move south and then to move west and then to move north. but basically that instruction which has displaced $1800000.00 people tells the is re lease that any civilians that remains in that area or us. israel assumes that any civilian that remains at the, in that area is either a participant in hostilities and therefore can be killed or a human shield. namely someone that is being used to shield the legitimate military target. and that allows israel to relax, the repertoire is of least lethal violence that they use is against these people.
12:45 pm
and in the court of law, that can be used to justify the wholesale killing of civilians. when the uh, the is where it says more than even its inquired 8 drops flyers. uh over guys uh to tell the people to vacate the area. it makes phone calls to residential um civilians to vacant. the area is red calls to back of the area was if i took these precautions, it's allowed to take fountains and be able to the
12:46 pm
east civilians for sure. so say they take the, their own responsibility the . this is a complete distortion of international law. if you consider also the fact that israel's and occupier, which i think is the relevance legal framing here is real, has obligations under occupation law. not only to end the occupation, which has now been ongoing for 56 years, but also to protect the occupied people. and we also know that israel has no right to claim self defense in accordance with article $51.00 of the un charter with respect to attacks emanating from a territory that it occupies. and this notion was upheld by the international court of justice. and it's 2004 ruling on the legality of the wall. and so regardless of which way you look at this, there's absolutely no legal defense to committing
12:47 pm
a genocide the luxury living soul as such months and months old and my daily. so i'm in the logging bit in the we have the president of the state saying there's no innocent civilian or there's no on involved civilian in the gaza strip. so these kind of remarks to
12:48 pm
point that the intent and the if, if it gets to a court of law, then these kinds of remarks become very important in terms of the genocidal aspect of this war. and lot of people in israel will not feel bad for the palestinians, but yet the leadership in israel fails the for the palestinian people. and they allow whatever the minimal humanitarian ad to be provided to the population in gaza at the
12:49 pm
the, the law does create the vision of a certain kind of justice that we want to aspire for. we want to aspire towards a world where human rights for all are protected, the scale of suffering. any god there must be an immediate cease fire or at least the next which is what is currently on the table. does human rights law give us the tools to achieve human rights? i'm not sure because of the interest of powerful states because of the double
12:50 pm
standards that are applied in the international arena. and therefore, if it gets to court, often the human rights do not win the day. and so we need to think of other mechanisms to achieve these human rights. the problem is the problem is with the force of mental potential and in, in the middle east. and in the global south, i would say the problem is that law is closer to political convenience then to adjust this, it was that you will be in, i'm very sorry to say 500 years of color. nice. ation has left a huge increase in hours dna, in general,
12:51 pm
western people are not able to assess objectively, what is what is being done the through the not publication or the international law or through the discretionary application of international law. it is terrible to see the dismantlement of international order premier support international piece by piece the image will have to show them in a few by then i mean by the, for them to tie penn national to the believe been what's to be the whole industrial method by mama tell me computer level, i'm updates more than a c by then. sure enough when we left him odd monday, it's a whole lot. you go come as much as you've got the. it's unclear what absol victory will look like when you've destroyed already 70 percent
12:52 pm
of cause a. when the overwhelming majority cost of $2000000.00 palestinians are displaced, it seems to me that absolute victory means the total destination of gaza to the point that is completely uninhabitable. and the, the population of gauze, which israel has told us, time and again in this current moment that that is their goal. but their goal is that the population of gaza and the settlements of goes up by is rarely settlers course in total violation of international law. the . 6 does not reach the international law, is right el, capes strictly. there, there is safety or the rules of law according to the international law. why a country should be above scrutiny. i mean, no one should be the international law is there to be applied universally and not just for cherry picking because this, this trust phones as i often say,
12:53 pm
human rights protection into protectionism. and this is unacceptable. the for me, the, the idea that the law will lead to liberation or emancipation, or palestinian self determination, is a fiction of human rights is not necessarily the tool. i think the tool needs to be more political in the sense of divestment and the sense of the sanctions in the sense of boycotts to use this kind of arsenal of non violent weapons, to pressure israel to bring about change the
12:54 pm
israel about pro, let's say years ago realized, having been so close to a pottage south africa, the very real threat that b as opposed to the existence of these really state as a racist, occupying state. and they created a ministerial department called the department for strategic affairs. specifically to come to the b ds movement and what was the strategy that they hit upon? it was to ensure that any criticism of israel, any criticism of its occupation, any criticism of its behavior in the occupied territories was made equivalent to anti semitism to. and they have been remarkably successful at doing that. there is no other argument that they're not using as of them to send me these massages to deflect the attention from what matters the most from what our analysis insist upon
12:55 pm
for decades now. i'm not surprised that each row recurs to any strategies to can to a whole it's goals to reach its objectives. but i'm surprised that international communities joins this action. because today you're not just attacked by israel for being and it's on to submitted. if you just ask for the application of international law to me, is there any, is there any options? it's many, many western countries to do so, and they'd be tre also. what i'm to summit is them as really being the surge advantage. semitism is united states of america and around the world. sick, you know, we see it across our communities and schools and colleges and social media, a surface painful scars for millennia. so hate of hate to genocide is jewish people . every time i get, i choose to falsely accused of onto the same it is i respond. i don't stay quiet. i
12:56 pm
don't get intimidated. i become louder and louder. and by doing so, i think i also inspire other people to do the same on jewish. my mother was one of 20 odd survivors of the holocaust. so to describe me is empty semitic given my history of anti racism and my work on genocide prevention. my info, king of the holocaust of which my mother's family were victims, that it's simply an absurdity. no circle west is prepared to sacrifice the entire architecture of international law that has been put in place post world war 2. specifically to prevent that being another genocide, like the holocaust,
12:57 pm
we have prepared to rent. all of that is summed up so that israel can continue to med uh, 247 palestinians on an average day. 48 of whom will be women. and a $117.00 of whom will be children. were prepared to throw it all out. that's the point of crisis that our politics act now. and it is up to all of us who recognize that to actually create, to count a narrative, to the nonsense, the dispute by our politicians to maintain their own place. in this a pulling leap, corrupt a malfunctioning political system, we have the we continue every single day to wake up and insist on freedom and lives in the face of genocide. and there's simply nothing more dignified that anybody can do in such a hopeless and desperate moments. i don't believe it's going to be sustainable to
12:58 pm
continue to prevent palestinians from their right to freedom the in this business uptake these bolts as by the citizens bank growth,
12:59 pm
partner of bung, the dashboard forward to use the this business. uptake these new rooftop. no bundle dash before to use
1:00 pm
the the system use our own algae 0. i'm for the back to go live until coming up in the next 60 minutes. the you and stop court orders, israel to allow more food data into guys as at least 71 policy means that kills by as strikes in the past 24 hours is really war planes. target node in syria and military personnel and civilians are among doesn't scale.
