scholars all human rights entities civil society throughout the west bank gaza and israel put the onus of this on israel israel is the occupying power all international bodies recognize this israel's own supreme court reaffirmed this in a court case from just last summer so this just push and pull is really. merrily israeli politicians and ministers and defenders from outside of israel who simply don't want to vaccinate palestinians they want to maintain this illusion that a neighboring state who needs charity and kind of dissociate themselves from that again 50 year occupation and say that they don't have this legal duty because of the oslo accords well this question has been asked and answered many times especially since november when the her sex scenes were starting to arrive in israel and you know for them to still be pushing back at this point now as they're shipping vaccines to countries a 1000 miles away they're starting to actually teenagers meanwhile we have high risk elderly palestinians who don't even know when they're going to get their vaccines it's estimated that many palestinians won't be able t

we will also look at vaccine apartheid in israel and the occupied territories. 40% of israel's population has been fully vaccinated but israel has sent only 2000 vaccine doses to the palestinian authority. this comes as the international criminal court opens a landmark probe into war crimes committed in the palestinian territories despite opposition from israel and the united states. >> this decision is so important because it shows justice will be imposed on those who carry out cres against the palestinian people were any crime in the world. amy: we will speak to the authors of the new book "except for palestine: the limits of progressive politics," mitchell plitnick and marc lamont hill. >> the idea of the progressive except for palestine is something that can be problematic. i think that if we worry about injustice, we have to be concerned with injustice across the board. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. i'm amy goodman. the house of representatives has approved sweeping legislation protecting the right to vote. the "for the people act," also known as h

a here, there are those who say it's really israel has double standards, why does the left always desires israel but not the palestinian authority? why israelgenerally shielded from their policies by the un so i'm curious if you can show more, how you see the double standard operating among progressives, why it exists to the extent that it does and how you respond to critics who say actually israel being subjected an unusual high standard. the palestinian authority. >> that's a great question, maybe i'll take part of it you can take the other part. i think first of all, i think what we see is some type of silence on issues for the palestinian people. some just people not knowing, it's difficult if you watch cable news cycle which is where most of us get our news these days were twitter. for every ten stories of the u.s. we hear maybe one international story and among those international stories, north korea, russia, there's a list of things that come up, some of it is not having access to these stories. some is the oriental vision of brown people, south asian, those people are always fighting. in some ways when we hear the death toll in chi

israel. while israel forges ahead with one of the world's fastest vaccine campaigns palestine is only just begun its roll out of the general public palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas was the 1st to receive a jab next up on medical staff people over the age of 75 and those suffering from serious illnesses health authority has received more than 60000 vaccine doses through the international kovacs facility. now brazilian police have been patrolling sao paolo breaking up illegal gatherings that threaten to fuel a recent surge of covert infections armed officers raided bars and clubs operating under the radar a nighttime curfew has been in place in the city since march 6th but in the last week brazil has registered a new piece of the number of daily deaths attributed to the virus within 292000 people have died there since the pandemic began. and the miami beach is imposing 8 pm curfew in its entertainment district an effort to control of spring break vacationers party goers gathered in the streets without masks while flouting social distancing rules under the new order police blocked off

. >> israel is rolling out the covid vaccine far more quickly and efficiently than any other nation by far. >> no country is vaccinating its people faster than israel. >> in israel us, 50% of everyone over age 16 has had a shot. >> when you look at the amount of vaccinations per 100 people, mainly how many vaccinations were given per 100 people, israel is way up there. >> way up there. israel now has the record for fastest vaccination campaign across the world. nine out of ten seniors vaccinated. over half the population has at least a dose, and some of the reasons may not be replicatable. a small country, under 9 million people is a bit more like managing a state. indeed, it's about the size and population of new jersey as opposed to a giant sprawling nation like the u.s. or china. but in other ways, looking at a leading country like israel can be like having a bit of a policy time machine to see into our own future, what happens when vaccine rates improve and the decisions that may be coming our way. we know israel started around the same time as the u.s. first shots came about five days after america's. seen on camera right here with their prime minister neta

israel, one of the largest recipients of u.s. aid. the fact the health minister of israel said israelesponsible for making sure palestinians have vaccines -- israel is number one in vaccinating its own population -- as the palestinian health ministry is responsible for dolphins in the mediterranean. can you comment on this? >> i am not familiar with those statements, but i will say i believe the palestinians should be vaccinated. there's no question about that. i don't take any can argue otherwise. amy: and that israel is responsible for what is happening in the occupied territories? >> what i have said is we need a two state solution in the region and also that under the law, palestinians and israelis should be treated equally. amy: are you saying israel ould make sure that palestinians have the vaccine? >> yes. amy: mondaire jones, thank you for me with us, democratic congress member for new york's 17th congressional district. next up, the house passes the george floyd justice and policing act. we will speak to the longtime organizer mariame kaba. author of the new "new york times"

israel to produce more vaccines israel has already vaccinated more than half of its population far more than any european country now kurt said that austria needed to develop its capacity to react against future virus mutations. threw in the recent shelf mcguinn the phone also leading scientists to say that in the coming years also what probably needs some 30000000 vaccine doses but all who via the here and that's why we've decided to cooperate with denmark and israel. is that a deviation we've been preparing for a while to concentrate our forces in research and production some under no in the political tool and for more let's bring in mohammed m. he is a dutch member of the european parliament for the center left progressive alliance of socialist and democrats group and welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us this trip to israel is it a vote of no confidence on the e.u.'s vaccination cooperation i mean a thing to make sure that we are better to tackle these type of and then mix in the future is no nothing against that but. there's no need i think to all the more vaccines i mean do you have as all the 2900000000 vaccines and what we see is that at the end of the day we're not living on an island so it doesn't make any sense to have the start of sexy nationalism because you can have a high tax nation rate in austria or in the netherlands but if you'll neighboring countries don't have the same height of vaccination rate you are ri

strong commitment to israel and its security including by opposing actions that seek to target israel unfairly the i.c.c. as we have said has no jurisdiction over this matter israel is not a party to the i.c.c. and it has not consented to the court's jurisdiction and we have serious concerns about the i.c.c. as attempts to exercise its jurisdiction over israeli personnel. from the palestinian ministry of foreign affairs says the investigation is a victory. we believe that the prosecutor does what she has with its obligation and under its mandate that's why we saw it as a victory for international law and justice and that's why we will come to this region by the prosecutor to investigate the war crimes that committed committed in the occupied palestinian territory including in jerusalem we understand that. is war criminal criminals they should be afraid now from this. important by the from this important stand by the international criminal court. buxley been told joins me now live from washington d.c. via skype is the editor of the gray zone dot com an online investigative news site good to have you with us on the program we think pushback from the u.s. i presume

israel and palestinian groups the u.s. has joined israel in opposing the investigation washington says the court doesn't have the jurisdiction because israel isn't a member of the i.c.c. but the palestinian authority has welcomed the move saying it will boost its efforts to achieve justice. the u.n. says that people have now been killed in me in march in the worst day of violence since last month's military coup witnesses reported seeing security forces firing into crowds with little warning protesters have been calling for the release of deposed leader and sons hoochie. the u.s. president says a move by 2 states to ease create a virus restrictions is a big mistake the governors of texas and mississippi lifting nearly all measures from next week despite warnings from health officials all businesses can reopen and no one will have to wear a mask biden says it's critical that states follow scientific advice brazil's that most populous state plans to close all non-essential businesses for 2 weeks as the country registers a record number of krona virus deaths for a 2nd straight day it recorded more than 1900 deaths in the past 24 hours parlors

israel. here, we did not get it. we are asking our authority to get us the vaccine. our lives depend on it. tom: all this has been wrapped in controversy, as rights groups say israel should be giving it to more palestinians. >> the decision from the higher level, as well as israelto talking with the palestinian side with an official request being given. it will work with other organizations or donations. tom: israel argued's previous peace accords leaves problems for officials. they have done 10,000 doses, with more batches apparently delayed. millions of palestinians without a job in israel are still waiting. tom, bbc news, bethlehem. katty: israel has done an amazing job at the occupied chairman -- a new report by the european union finds that women were affected far more negatively than men by the covid pandemic. for instance, women wore more likely to lostheir jobs as countries went into lockdowns. between april and september, female unemployment grew at twice the rate of men's. women are more at risk of catching coronavirus while at work. in europe, women make up three quarters of health-care workers and are overrepresented in other high exposure fields. there were more instances of domestic violence during lockdowns, with some countries reporting increase

into israel when just days ago you know the united states folks person state department spokesperson was saying they had serious concerns about the i.c.c. their effort to assert jurisdiction over israel. well it's only normal for zionist lobby controlled and i don't mean jewish lobby i mean zionist lobby namely christian zionist lobby controlled washington d.c. to find some echoes like that and the white house and i believe that the trump era was a mutation in u.s. presidential history that would rarely repeat itself with all the crazy decisions and in a mass future world the world bodies that the united states was a major player in this stablish in any way that defend the. principles upon which the united states of america was just out there therefore i see some hope in by reversing the course after given some of the decisions made by. the words the i.c.c. given sometime after this investigation goes on there because i do not think biden has the support in the controlled house or senate. even though he has democratic control he would have supports to. the sanctions against the i.c.c. due to the huge christian zionist influence on the hill and we have seen that in many many clear cri

israel u.s. ally israel is launching airstrikes every week basically did it as well what they call it as well or a rainy and targets this is a survival move by syria they can get support they can do trade and commerce and yet weapons and money and any things that they need fuel from iran so if you want to choke syria in that way of course we're it's going to increase the iranian involvement there and also you know i think i have been here we have to go to a hard break and after the hard break we'll continue our discussion and some real minute stay with r.t. . well the pandemic no certainly no borders and islam to nationalities. has emerged with the we don't look like seeing the whole world peace to be. judged as commentary classes. we can do better we should know. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is great the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. this is crude oil. soon they need to actually physically pump it out of the ground you would have well well. there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a $100000.00 a year. as a minimum there's an issue. here in the. they were all 16 hours a day hard work will work it's not easy work and so they want to relieve their stress and how do they relieve their stress he's making moves that outweigh he's made that comfort many. people have been murdered up here people been raped there are massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. is you'll media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation will community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what's his face. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. welcome back to cross talk where all things are considered a bell to remind you we're discussing some real news. well there's going to be a me here in moscow. which gears here again and i made reference in the 1st part of the program to anthony lincoln's. made a message to the state department when he talked about democracy and hell that is going to be the very center of american foreign policy which only people inside the beltway believe that certainly people around the world don't believe it but well that they live with their illusions here but let's look at the record let's look at the record of support of democracy like in the pose a soviet space we could actually draw in venezuela if we want to so let's look at. georgia let's look at ukraine i'm looking at saakashvili poroshenko and as i said in the part when they started the program. the american backed president in ukraine . is shutting down independent media and the american state department is cheering that's democracy promotion. well the latest news from ukraine are really alarming because at least 10 people were killed in the last few weeks on the line dividing the cell declare republics in the east and the ukrainian army the russian representative in the control commission is saying that the ukrainian side basically exits and their peace agreements from 2000 to 15 there is the new you know the new chairman of their ukrainian delegation and that is the former communist chief of ukraine you know now and craft york who suddenly became a also fold and who now says that ukraine doesn't need means can dream it's you know when to win anyway we're going to restart the show its integrity so that situation is very very dangerous at the same time selenski has shadow 3 big that it isn't channels in ukraine just remember what a scandal it was when in russia the n.t.v. channel in the beginning of the 2000. for purely legal reasons you know they had to change their team and the reaction in the west was hysteric and what did selenski do he imposed sanctions i called sanctions on his own television so he took off the air 3 main television channels in ukraine can you imagine a.b.c. c.b.s. and n.b.c. not broadcasting because the president ordered it and we clearly see that this was supported by the u.s. embassy and the most pathetic move came just 2 days ago when basically the united states imports sanctions on either commerce in the ukrainian or a guy who financed zillions is. election campaign as it is said fine and i quote we are grateful to the united states for helping us get paedo that only got in this way to join the euro atlantic integration so basically this situation is crazy but you're right it fits their general pattern i mean if we look at their ports or europe and even the last soviet president whom does the united states support the people who support the western borders who aren't out everything you know selenski last year or dispersed the constitutional court just you know stopped it's abrasion can you imagine you've got putin stopping the construction of cordoned off it would be a scandal next no in all the media in the west and let's just shut it off in georgia saakashvili a ruthless dictator you know his enemies somehow died but you potter cancer she died died and i'm like we're there now of our own and other students are steve's was perfectly ok with that now then strangers happen and you know just these people died young yes and and the same stories with muldaur where basically the young coolly guns. entered the parliament it was. as online and since then the border ticks almost know what changed you know that they ransacked the building and the united states and you were perfectly fine with that so we see that basically one day saying we support democracy and it's not true it wasn't true even with gorbachev was 90th anniversary of west celebrating who are saying bring in the last week because a lot of people think that he introduced democracy simply because you are no he feared to put a bureau kuwait against himself just like the bond that crucial had in 1006 to 4 so what russia have built all of these institutions the bottom and the presidency in order to protect himself from that possible which actually happened in 1901 well thank you for that because as a result we had a functioning democratic system back in 1900 the mode you have spent you want to get to stick they were not even in your way ideally stick. patrick dissolute will come and demand is they about got a job but that was indigenous those were indigenous institutions they were not him imported from abroad now again you know i think that the track record of democracy from is not about democracy promotion it's about nato expansion it's about. containing russia it's about. trade energy politics it's about all of these they take sever democracy go ahead. i mean the legacy of of the situation in ukraine i mean it can't be any worse result by the united states that instigated this series of events that brought us to this place we are now and so there still is delusional belief in washington that crimea is going to be returned to ukraine and that the people in eastern ukraine are going to forgive and forget and that everyone will come together now there is a possibility that they could come together theoretically but when you have less. gratian now again you have censorship you have selenski who is really an anti shell has clearly been captured by all sorts of interests and you know acting almost as an apologist to the on street fractious mobs as well they're powerful faction as well ukraine is a mess basically and so the us can only play one role in this which is not pro democracy it's spoiler and so they would like to see the old literary of dimming supports or just keep the quagmire going as long as possible because in sanctions remain on russia from the e.u. side as for a long time so they want to us centric deal but that's not going to happen so what are you going to have this protracted and full situation which suits nato as you said and it suits the united states the hawks in the us anyway and some of the hawks in europe as well but it's certainly not in the europe's interest i'm sure there's an argument in germany as to what german wants germany wants to see out of the situation i'm sure it's different really drilled down then what washington wants to see a situation where here we are and who's the losers definitely the people in the ukraine i mean it's it's horrific what's happening you may need to t.v. leaves for us because the pentagon has announced that it will be sending more lethal aid i don't know why they call it an 8 ok arms to ukraine in some of it is pretty lethal and high quality and very expensive and we all know who's going to pay for that but there seems to be sent signals that the the and the government in kiev is interested in opening up hostilities again against the people of the east i mean what are the possibilities of that and what are you hearing from the russian authorities go ahead oh well just recently it cost signed and agreed you know at this stage that there ukraine will get $150000000.00 more for me. 8 including deadly destructive weapons so there is no work or weapons all the ukrainians say there was a lot of weapons from the soviet times they have american weapons now they have british weapons is the result that israel can because they are a german or mr julian it is just so have been down you know if you start your last the local elections just a few months ago. the problem is who is going to be the leader who is going to be the do chair you know or this new or unified ukraine if they if they manage to win the wars the city of 1st i don't think they will win
