professor of international law at georgetown university good to have you on the program. and now this escalation started after israeli cave at israeli operation in gaza but what do you make of the timing of this operation given that peace talks are ongoing between hamas and israel and mediated by egypt as well. it is not surprising at all that things like this would happen will explode. gaza is one of the largest jails in the world probably and the israeli occupation of gaza is a continuous crime against humanity i say occupation why because gaza is two million people boxed in a small territory denied access to the through land or sea and you denied. the basic humanitarian needs to be fulfilled. gaza is entitled to self-determination god's child entitled to resist occupation and gaza and title to self-defense to i cannot see any any kind of condition that would justify what the israelis are doing in gaza it is not surprising this is one of the continuous acts of incident of strangling the gazans and continuing control of this large jail in the world well if we look at the

now it was live to chris but christopher chambers i mean to studies professor at georgetown university thanks for coming in to the program christopher now. do you believe the us media really has such a defies siv impact on american society. well it's we have to we have to differentiate between blame and responsibility here what we have with the american media the corporate media in the united states is a failure of responsibility they are not generating the hate the racism the division a lot of that is indeed coming from the white house and some of president trump's more extreme republican supporters the problem is that the american media rather than defusing that rather than reporting accurately and quiet and calmly and educating people is inflating it into basically a circus atmosphere to get more ratings that's where we have a failure of responsibility they are creating it they are just fanning it so it becomes worse because of it i think he they mentioned a circus atmosphere if we look at the polling the recent poll numbers show sixty four percent think the media is to blame but st

there is a process in place by which the research group from georgetown university collects the data every year and puts it in an annual report. what's important to note is a lot of people don't know about and often there's press releases and so forth and numbers have been added every year since 2004 when the report came out. that's a different issue than being transparent and disclosing the names and that is something that this board and my office recommended in 2002. if you are going to be transparent, you need to know who those offenders are. here in the archdiocese in chicago, they were related but it's not universal. it's something that needs to be done. victims can heal and other people who haven't reported will know that they are not alone. not,ey come forward or knowing you are not alone goes so far in helping that person who has been victimized. anne burke: there are a number of questions and one of them is why the archdiocese of chicago was not on the panel. there was no one other than myself and two other members at the national review board, said this was about the nation

sara fischer and mo elleithee' who runs georgetown university's institute of politics.he media is covering this as an overheated escalation on the president's part. emily: when the president is tweeting in capital letters, it's understandable. but at the same time the president has frustrations about the scope of the investigation that's supposed to be collusion. so it's sort of like when you are talking about your interview with chris wallace, two things can be true. howie: saying mueller worked for obama for 8 years isn't the full story. sara: he was hired under the bush administration and is a registered republican. he's a republican trying to do his job. even though the media is conflating it. nobody knows what's going on in mueller's head. howie: the president said he probably won't be sitting down with an interview with mueller. he wants to bring it to a head. could this escalation be a result of the president being immersed in this conversation with his lawyers. mo: he probably got rid of jeff sessions he wanted to get rid of because of this investigation. attorn
