7:01 pm
scott, and i'll be back with another look in just don't to an hour's time, but these to choose from all great programs. the hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered? i'm peter lavelle, secretary defense lloyd, austin declared, well hosting his railey calendar park, the us israel, military relationship as unshakable as israel continues and slaughter of palestinians and gods. but historical records notes. the american administration is a name, co conspirators to genocide. the
7:02 pm
of the cross are doing palestine. i'm joined by my guess, lionel in new york. he is a legal in media analyst in ottawa. we have already em says he is a professor of international law at queen's university as well as author of the united nations and the question of palestine and in amman, we have now sir, i'll be nice. our. he is a bricks and bass that are to jordan and the middle east are gentlemen cross up rules in effect, that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciated professor, if i can go to you 1st in ottawa, this is your, um, uh, your area of expertise law and how the international community is dealt with the palestine question. i think international law has been made into complete mockery. it doesn't stand for anything any more, if there are exceptions. and why do we have laws the and the american approach to this quote and quote on a non binding resolution? which correct me if i'm wrong, sir, but i mean, when the united nations security council has a resolution in both side and it becomes international law,
7:03 pm
how can the americans make that exception? what at the same time, not voiding the entire process. go ahead, professor. thank you very much for having me. um, well, how to put this delicately the us position is complete. nonsense. so your question suggested on the article 25 of the united nations charter members of the united nations degraded accepting carry out the decisions of the council. and as has been confirmed by the international court of justice specifically, and its 1971 an advisory opinion on, there may be a substitution to me. don't take the place within chapter 7 of the charter, which some commentators are, are the shooting and they cover all decisions of the council. so resolution to $7.00 to $8.00, which calls for a cease fire in gas is one such decision. and it therefore binds gold parties to the conflict, but in particular, israel because it is a member state of united nations. well, that's all right and i'm on. if, if i'm drawing on what we just heard from the professor in ottawa,
7:04 pm
even though the united states abstained, it's incumbent upon the united states to take action. if israel does not take action, stop it's laundering, gaza, the west side is obligated by this resolution, even though they abstain permit to, to intervene if they, if necessary, by all means necessary. nicer. thank you. okay. uh, 1st of all, how need, you know what to say as far as that you asked what part of this huge mess around sculptors and gather? you know, the main thing is that this resolution for all the security council is obligated to the firewall. but the us will actually competing disobey of not just starting from the top of the 7, but for the last 100 years since the beginning of this huge genocide after the whole us, the course was actually covering israel because it isn't right. you is that cooling, you know, that the project is going to be the least they planted this project,
7:05 pm
you know, they are covered and you can be on even if not just with the political data because in the international community it but also by using thing with weapons by helping them with that the high take that can lead for more and more of the place. thing in the, the actual the t because the genocide have the it's the conclusion go body style is part of the western culture. it's part of the quality of western culture that actually created israel. the say of the goals, well, you know, line on line likes to refer to himself as the guy for in the fishbowl on this program. and i appreciate it very much. but the line only if, if you look at the, what happened in the united nations and this is not the 1st time there was an attempt at a resolution calling for a ceasefire. the united states and israel is all alone. is there any awareness here in new york? is there any awareness of that or, or it's going if there is an awareness to people care. uh no. uh,
7:06 pm
to answer your question. uh, going back historically. you remember uh, a gentleman around the turn of the 20th century, they had these bare knuckle boxers who would do this a lot, and they were jack johnson, and they would do this. they never would land up punch in anybody, but it looks great. that's the you with a, i'm a lawyer by profession and i'm not an international lawyer at one time. i was asking why is this not in force? i want to read the fine print. it says this is merely aspirational. i'm thinking, well, what's the point of this? so what we're doing is we're having gobbledygook. and not only that, we're having this cool, bulky dance, this theatre, this synchronized scrum, where people stand with arms akimbo and just why you yeah, but that would live the resolution wasn't aspirational. i mean, english is my 1st language. i understood it was pretty clear. okay. it's not the record, it is
7:07 pm
a demand. but there's no one for the what. but that was mike. that was my question to are guessing. my mind is, i know it's past the united states must take action. it must cut off all aid. it must cut off all diplomatic cover, and if it may have, even if it has to use military force, it has to enforce the rabbit the resolution. ok. and then when you have seen bachelors saying, i mean the audacity you say, well this is non binding, nobody else in the room knew that vinyl. but who is but the next question is fine. who enforces? if you go back and you say, excuse me, we must now let, let's all vote for enforcement. if that were even possible. how would that occur and, and what are the mechanisms in place to do it? and if you don't have a that needs fairly aspirational, it's just, it's a see a rather go body. well then, well, go ahead like if somebody does come in on line with what i actually what, why actually take his point, the seriously and a good good number of my students regularly ask whether or not. and this goes to
7:08 pm
the point at lydell is making this international law is in the law. in the absence of say, for instance, a centralized enforcement mechanism that we would have at most municipal or domestic systems. however, can it be said that this law, which is binding is indeed law and bind. and so, but that's a fair question to ask, but then one needs to assess or take account of fact and international. it doesn't operate in the same way that our domestic legal system student, there is no centralized enforcement mechanism. but we do have our various mechanisms, one of which is the security council of the united nations who does have the authority to pass and binding resolutions upon all member states of the united nations on the article 25 view and charter. and in this case, we have great solution of the council and demanding demanding that is obligatory a ceasefire. and so to the extent that israel is violating that demand to him to a cease fire in the gaza strip, there is no question that as a matter of international law, they are d like they're there,
7:09 pm
they're violating that law. the next question is as line was mentioned, well, what next? and so the next question is moving to the council. again, for more t, a resolution that would be passed that the council would you provide for sanctions on israel for failing to abide by its international legal obligations under auto bunder resolution $2728.00 and so on. and so, even though in a while, as we say under domestic law, we have direct systems of enforcement under international either less direct but they exist none the less and simply because israel, an outlier and the united states also an outlier on this question um, are violating law doesn't mean the law doesn't exist, it does exist and the palestinian people are experiencing the neighbors salt. the failure to abide by this international law in their person. some 32000 or more dead killed rather, some 70000 or more injured. and 1700000, and that's 85 percent of the population of the gas
7:10 pm
a strip forcibly transferred all of them indiscriminately bombarded a star patient being used as a tool against them. these are serious matters now. the principal judicial organ of the united nations because that all of this amounts to plausible genocide, cancelled action must be taken by states. they all have obligations to prevent genocide. these are positive obligations. they exist for the united states. they exist for canada where i'm sitting a test for every member of the genocide convention and so on. so action can be taken. we just need the political will to get moving shebedey now. so in action is, is, is culpability as well. i'm. i've titled this program genocide in arms, and if i can go back to my introduction with lloyd austin, you know, unshakable. i mean, that is pleading guilty to the actions of your co conspirator in the middle east, and that's the israel. so say i was pretty hectic, but you have to go out to this new building genocide now, but what happened?
7:11 pm
yeah, between deland. now do we do often actually at gal him give him a list of the white ones that he wants to bring out to this room. and during this visit, that to me is actually that the us is actually just facing hawk old. that is, we're using those came out to the security council. this is for 2nd. we need to check the real and the fact that the actual u. s. political pores in to the citizens until now more than $240.00 ship. and we're actually kind of old kind of wavelengths were sent to live right now. also you can just to check the other trigger. this is more than 2000 bleed b, uh, bear with me is the know there to get a, a israel directly to this. well, so if we want to be honest and to be a friend to what, oh, our walk units, we have to say that they,
7:12 pm
you asked if they can pause and verify though this i'm going, genocide is a full body. this is the only description that we can describe the u. s. actions since the october 7th. i'm filling out. and actually if we want to retain back in history, i'm ready to have the us just a guarantee that is right. it will always mean team have a, what are we can describe has advanced the military aid all over the region in order not just to, you know, secure or, or to be as real as they say. that was the rival defense. but to ensure that they do mean anything, the whole area, and no one will ever had the problem with nicer with that is that when that had gemini is challenged, then the united states is, it's putting itself into a position where it has to fight all of israel's enemies, and that's exactly what the government in, in israel wants and that's and yeah,
7:13 pm
and wants the united states to fight it's wars for it. you do agree with me? yeah, it's a fault and i agree with this, but the thing is how they will fund it down by the ones that different vision whole how we will. i see those go. so there's actually one, actually i bill if you can send in 3 on so i don't and let me delete it, then just rail is the one who's leaving the restaurant extra in the middle east. but the thing is, what i have the magnet will hold that thought we have to go to a hard break. and after that hard break will continue our discussion on palestine state with our team. the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion, by how us to do vision with no real opinions. fixtures
7:14 pm
designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills. and is it just as a chosen few. fractured images presented as 1st? can you see through their illusion going underground? can the
7:15 pm
hi, acceptance, and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new shells. seriously. why watch something that's so different. whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do have the state department, the c i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your facts for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want my shelves. they main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching, but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're so shorter is it conflict with the 1st law? show your mind, anticipation. we should be very careful about visual intelligence at the point,
7:16 pm
obviously is to create a trust rather than fit the job. i mean, with the artificial intelligence, we have so many of the theme and the robot must protect this phone. existence was on the welcome back across by for all things are considered. i'm gabriel about mind you were discussing palestine the, you know it was line and let's go back to line to a new york, one of the things that it really weighs heavy extra weight have on all, all of us here. is it particularly in the united states, but it through the rest of the world in general? but in the united states, all of this is kimberly bit genocide. they won't use the word of course and not
7:17 pm
allowed to, but all of what's going on is all couched in, in the election calculations. so you know, vitamins go to lose michigan who can do it. and if i find it, it, it, it, it almost takes the life out of me. i mean, here put its tens of thousands of people are being killed and the worried about which direction one congressional district. my go. i mean, that is true. so hollow, it shows how hollowed out western society is. lionel this week, which one of the the biggest fund raisers ever at radio city music hall with the obama and clinton and spending a race $1020000000.00. the, the, the democratic party has been absolutely dead mora been in a coma. and here's the best part in peter you. and i have talked about this before . the people, this is, this is so skits, of funding for me. the people that i,
7:18 pm
i used to dismiss as being my political, the and, and capital opposite to whatever. i'm now listening who make more sense. i read somebody to a friend of mine was one of the most cogent answers regarding what the american responsibility is to the saving of lives. children and then people starving. and i read and i said guess who said that alexandria. ok. so again. okay, so say the same thing has happened to me over the last, but in the last few new cycles. yeah. and i'm thinking of myself, wait a minute. the also the rise of, of a platform this week also in new york obviously would be in baltimore. there was a bridge collapse and button said, where are we, you know, we said we will, we will put this together. we will pay for this. so people ask, where are you getting the money for this? and we all said, ah, good question,
7:19 pm
isn't it funny when it comes to our infrastructure and up there, by the way, this very domestic get them? i don't mean to boy, but, but to show you there's this question that people should be asking is, where do we get money to support ourselves here? where is the democratic response and peter, you, when you're from a generation where the laughter progressive left were part of typically almost argued typically and t war and i, and i finally, i'm saying if you just could replace the words israel with, let's say france or scotland and did it, how could france do this? there would be a completely different discussion. forget the word genocide. so what we're doing is, again, i'm going to be in a, in a, an above 1st ball. but the democratic party, the republicans are very clear. they're absolutely adamant they're, they're consistent, but the democrats are skipped to products and this will be the chance for the republicans to, to seize upon that, to form a schism. they won't even do it. yeah. but so i lied all that ago that the downside
7:20 pm
of that is, or republicans or pro israel and palestine. so be careful what you hope for professor in honor what, you know, one of the things, it's very unsettling for me as an american coming from the west is that, you know, the west is um, come to terms in many ways with its colonial saddler projects around the world and they, they, they lay their face and shame. theirs will talk of reparations about how countries or peoples all around the world recover from colonialism, imperialism, but it's the west and almost exclusively in the west. but it is promoting a settler, a colonial project in the middle east, and they don't, nobody in the west likes to talk about. it's too uncomfortable. you know, i mean a, or a get a line on i as americans, you know, you know, what we did to the native americans was shameful, with slot or we didn't use the word genocide, but that's what it was. but the west now it says flipped and saying, well this project is ok, professor. yeah, uh, yeah, i know very,
7:21 pm
very good point. and in fact uh, as a canadian, but we have under gone very much the same if you like transition. uh, uh the, the representation of what canada has done to the 1st nations people, the indigenous people in canada has been effectively whitewashed. where now, where we sat and a few poorly about it in the public. but little was done to assess the situation of real people on the ground, living in poverty here in canada to our 1st nations. and so this has given rise to my view that a lot of this concern for the settler colonial project or reconciliation with what we have done in the, in the quote unquote new world is profound. it is. and we have proof of that not only by how we treat patients, how the states and canada, the united states and other settler colonies treat their 1st nations people. but all foreign policies, as well as the fact of the natives of palestine where an indigenous population is
7:22 pm
very good, clearly ending real time. and it continually since 1947 undergoing a process of an ethnic cleansing of displacement on the one hand and replacement on the other by combining by folks who want to take their land and resources take for instance, a very many public statements made. not merely statements, but actions taken by his raving meters. who indicate that once in guys it is got, i think we clans, the ones, the palestinian population, all $2200000.00 of them are driven into the sign i or driven south somewhere or perhaps even into the sea that they'll take over their land and build properties and resettle the gaza strip and so on. so as you, as you rightly point out, there is a continuum here. and there is no, a wonder why israel's staunchest supporters in the guise of matter. now, are the settler colonies of the west, the united states, canada,
7:23 pm
and someone that needs to be called out. and i'm glad you put that question to us. but i do think that it is self evident for a lot of folks in the global south, certainly than the medians. certainly the south africans who's taking this case before the international court of justice on genocide and so on. so we're at an inflection point gather, has provided an inflection point in international relations driving a wedge between the global so. so you can see what's actually happening on the ground and gather and to the beleaguered guys and palestinian population and other small countries. the smaller number of countries, but far more powerful in the industrialized west. yeah. now, so one of the most pathetic things, i mean it almost a half of year of just unbelievable tragedy and, and, and for the most part the, but a, the leads in the west turned their face away. they don't want to see it. okay. if i don't see it, then they're not culpable they, everybody can see it. all right, so jared questionnaire, the son in law of donald trump, his comments in the it was in the telegraph. he was at the kennedy school and he
7:24 pm
just talked about the is the palestine question is if it was just a real estate issue. yeah, that's fine. i saw that video and i love your pick up truck because that's an invalid. that have been late. i think the who we were actually live in under for the past 100 to years because this 3 is an open space for all kind of, you know, absorbing resources and just making more appropriate. and so then we're just not the humans dehumanizing us makes this long. i'm hoping land, warm yusef loves will, will gain and make more money. and the name of the more expensive the line nation, which is actually not just gonna, um, see me, but it's actually, um, it's just, i, it's, i can't imagine someone is just can just talk about the appropriate use of the guidance people who are actually guild, systematically for the last 6 months and just do so easy to about it. i think it is
7:25 pm
like um you know, a commercial project where this land is. uh, you know, i gonna have to bring the lower investments for um, that is right here we is. and that's why they should and they have to, you know, okay, if i add this, you're not the rich coast. who are you just forgot to tell the students that the school that there. well now what more than one be then susan 100, i'm assuming i looked in the same area. actually what she's proposing is let us just participate fully because it isn't profits and money. definitely. oh, all the more so is like, oh, $700.00. all those kind of thing, it's all the more so it's in some of most of the palestinians. look, gaza strip. they've already been displaced. maybe sometimes many, many times. i mean, you keep pushing them that way. i mean, it is really extraordinary. you know, line on it, you know, you and i have known each other for a very long time and, you know, with
7:26 pm
a sarcastically ripped apart, this whole woke cold here. you know, i'm a victim. you're a victim with who is the victim on the totem pole? and all that, but i've seen bard to blake ballast any and so not victims are they. it's just amazing to me how the less particularly in the lab they can go down the day by the totem pole of who's been victimized. but the palestinians are just not there. you can't see them. we're not allowed to see them line. oh, yeah. if, if ever, you know, peter, i, we, we always, well, we, the, the right always speaks of this mythical magical, incredible wizard saw a lensky and how he created this, these, uh, these, the die the dialectic and, and let me tell you the way it works here is very, very simple, then you can watch any television show or any kind of, of attempt of discussing it. you will ask the question, do you recognize it? how much is a terrorist organization? do you believe that what that is real has the right to defend itself. and then for
7:27 pm
some reason it just stops. and to show everything begin on october, the 7th. and if and that's the launching port, what would you do? what am see? wait a minute that that doesn't even be getting to even even remotely. but she, peter and gentlemen, as you know in our culture, you have a one minute block. if you are lucky or any major cable news or the air quotes your news. and that's as far as it goes. do you know what it's like for anybody to say, let me give you 75 years plus of not true, but perspective it's, there is no time for that. it's look, that's a tough place. they've got to defend themselves and we, we invoke $911.00. yeah. yeah. what i'm saying. they have had a rough day about a time and memorial. they've been enemies here. let me, let me finish off with the professor. i don't owe you guys. why don't i? why don't i just get in on that order? you just to go back to peter with the point to do the new made palestinians being
7:28 pm
able to represent themselves. this has been a classic problem and edward so i put it very, very well when he asked a tiny and she for permission to married. situational palestine is as simple as you mentioned in the gaza strip. 7075 percent of the population are themselves not guessing their palestine refugees who originate from areas that became the state of israel in 1947, 4849 and are only in the gaza strip in force to exile because they're not jewish because the state of israel is prohibiting their ability to return their right to return to their homes from which they were forcibly professor, i mean, all right, i have, i have to jump in here on this very sailing point, but we've run out of time. i want to thank my guess an auto in new york and i'm on and of course i want to thank our viewers for watching us here in our to see you next time. remember prospect rules the
7:29 pm
on the tab to the establishment of the boxes resuming lisbon. in 1933, the position of the indigenous population in the portuguese colonies deteriorated dramatically. especially in angola. decatur, antonio de, i live at salazar, encourage colonizing the end goal in lands by europeans, and sought after turning the country into a portuguese province where the goldens would be 2nd class people. in 1961, there was an outbreak of violence on the part of the portuguese, in revenge for the plantation workers strike portuguese aircraft bomb. the villages in northern angola and race riots took place in african parts of lawanda. the
7:30 pm
people of angelo rose in an armed rebellion. the roots atlas of the colonialists knew no bounds. despite the un calls to stop the violence, the parties only intensified their terror against the rebels. the 40s actively use the political contradictions between various groups of rebels during the war colonial aircraft. regularly use a farm and drop the fully ends on peaceful villages. the portuguese empire was severely exhausted by the struggle against the national liberation movements. the revolution in portugal brought down the processed regime and put it in to the murder as war against the people of angola. on january 15, 1975, the l bore agreements were assigned and the country gained independence after so many years of the brutal war. in 19.
