2:07 pm
called the report false bias down dantes, hermetic it's not the act of violence. i have seen violence before. it is the cruelty of the system, the in tree kit evolving administration of co told disposition and unique quality, the incredible detail to do or critique vacation upon which that system is predicated. it, she banality, and that time up $72.00. that as taken my breasts away, let's bring harry foss at he's joining us from occupied is doris lamb. you know, harry, how significant is it that an amnesty international is focusing on the entire system as a whole and calling it an apartheid system rather than focusing on particular crimes, as we've seen in the past. yes, that's right. it's very much,
