brandon o'connor is a professor of american politics at the university of sydney. he's joining us live . thank you very much indeed. for being with us on, i'll just do it. let's talk about this concern about politics and violence in the united states. first of all, obviously, leading political figures throughout the history of all was the fates faced threats of some sort. sitting presidents in the us usually get hundreds, possibly thousands every day in context tool terms put this into context for us. how much more dangerous is the us politically in terms of bonds now compared to the way that's being the for. and i think the survey, you're quite, it is really relevant to you. i've actually looked at that place late. i've been writing a little bit about the syria of the increase, the willingness of americans across the board to accept the balance is may be a necessary part of the political system, the percentage of people, particularly republicans, but also democrats in the last 4 or 5 years who said that violence can be justified, has really the brakes. and i think

let's speak to eyal mayroz, senior lecturer in peace and conflict studies at the university of sydney the programme. iwonder hello and welcome to the programme. i wonder if we could begin with, we have a us security council meeting later today. talk us through the legality of the attacks that took place earlier this week in lebanon. although israel has not claimed responsibility the assumption is that it was israel responsible.- israel responsible. good morning _ israel responsible. good morning from _ israel responsible. good morning from sydney. i israel responsible. good - morning from sydney. certainly the questions around the legality of what had taken place will continue to be investigated and debated. the un human rights chief has already called for such an investigation and pointed to the likelihood of contraventions of the human rights laws and international humanitarian law. but how far will any kind of legal proceeding taken how long it will take, i think we'll make it less important for what seeing now. my own perception is that, certainly, there was an indiscriminate fact

and he now teaches john lives in the university of sydney. he joins us live and bill. i think you said that he has to have one of the most hud voices and the history of the world, which is quite a statement to make. but i suppose his, his voice and his presence was so prolific and pervasive, that the people may what have heard his voice without even knowing that it's necessarily him mine to such a great point because i think that's something you can say to some of these say i'm not really sure who he is. you can say he's the guy who says this is sienna, and a lot of people don't even know that he was the voice of darth vader and star wars . and everyone has heard him say are the dogs side. so we does that, so just on a pop culture level, when you consider that he was in those 3 or $44.00 or 5 star wars movies. plus he was in the star aligned k. he played mustafah and the licensee he was in was 4 or 5 or 6 of the biggest when he movies ever released in the history of the world. so this is definitely someone who had a presence in just about to anyone who was familiar with

brandon o'connor is a professor of american politics at the university of sydney. he says the polling highlights how divided the us as become sensitive people, particularly republicans, but also democrats in the last 4 or 5 years has said that violence can be justified, has really freights. and i think that's probably at a trying to start level for a sense of kind of frustration with the political system for some people that would resort to violence. now this is antithetical to democracy. this is something to be rightly condemned, but it gives you a sense of the desperation or the mindset, the conspiratorial mindset, and the, and the shift right for of the opposite side of politics in the united states that the might, on the, is there any forces or targeting several areas across the guys and categories. 14 palestinians is don't, not a morning rate is flocking to home and the all new set of refugee camp in the center of the strip it strikes to at least 10 to palestinians. people are trying to rescue those problem under the rubble. the injured have been taken to all
