i'd like to start this off with richard falk, well, you are a former un special reporter on palestine human rights. did you ever think? that you would be witnessing what you have been uh these last two and a half months, this type of genocide, and basically nothing being done to stop it, my image darkest form of imagination could not reach the horror show that we've been witnessing for almost three months, as you say, it's the most transparent. spectacle of genocide that the people of the world have ever been exposed to, and the complicity of the global west, particularly the us and uk, shocks even a critic like myself, because it exposes not only the hypocrisy of the rules based world, which was always a very suspect, it was... geopolitical rules for the powerful and some kind of accountability to international law for the week, and and now it has become something that is indulgent of genocide when it's committed by friends and critical of human rights of any sort. if they are attributable to adversaries or enemies, so we're a very dark place in uh human history, i fear. yes, indeed.
