Former United Nations human rights official Craig Mokhiber returns to Bad Faith to weigh in on recent developments in Palestine, including Israel's choice to end the ceasefire, the catastrophic Israeli strikes resulting in the death of about 400 Palestinians, nearly half children, the recent U.N. report on Israel's use of sexual violence against Palestinians, and the state of international law as it attempts to hold Israel accountable. It's an expansive, philosophical conversation that probes the possibility of U.N. reform in light of American funding and veto power, and the declining utility of "international law." Stay until the end for a powerful argument for the value of a human rights framework despite how limited our international legal institutions are in enforcing said framework.
