Former UN General Assembly President speaks to Mark Seddon on Monday 24th May.

“Before I go to the battle itself, as you asked about international law, as you yourself made clear, Israel as an occupying power, has to obey the law which makes clear that the protected population has to be protected against forcible transfer of it under Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. And this is what Israel has been doing, not just now but in fact for years.”

Jan Kavan speaks to Mark Seddon on Monday 24th May:

“Because let me remind you as you say, the law makes clear that harm to civilians must be proportionate to the military advantage derived from any attack. And this is clearly has not happened here. It is not proportionate at all. Despite what Israel claims, many buildings, about one thousand buildings, have been destroyed, but many of them cannot be described as military targets at all.”

Dr Mustafa Barghouti speaks to Al Jazeera English on Monday May 10th:

“What you see is probably a new intifada. A new popular uprising against injustice and against occupation and against persecution and oppression and against a system of apartheid. Which is considered by international law as crimes, crimes against humanity.”

Mark Seddon is in conversation with Palestinian cartoonist Mohammad Sabaaneh.

The discussion ranges from resistance through art, ‘free speech’ on Israel in the media, representation of the people vs ruling elites in Israel and Palestine, the dangers of self-censorship, 'vaccine apartheid', life in Israeli prison, the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement, the upcoming Palestinian elections and more!

Omar Aziz writes: “Autobiographical stories of everyday life can disarm those who seek to stand in the way of justice, reversing the relentless dehumanisation Palestinians so often endure by ruling elites and at the hands of the mainstream media.”
