ICJ made such an important ruling and not one main radio station covered it! LBC had Shiela Foggarty at that time of announcement talk about uk crime only . Absolute disgrace!!
I agree with you. 🇵🇸 💚 🇵🇸
Very sad what USA and uk support
Sheila recently had a guest on, that she complained to was raising his voice and shouting at her... she looked uncomfortable.. but he was not shouting & never raised his voice over his normal tone. It was the truth shouting out at her (on air & on record) so loud she could not fail to hear it.
@@1961Timebandit"they control many things media's, financial institutions" Shah Pavlovi on CBS 60 Minutes in 1970's I believe
And about time too.!!!!....This massacre has gone on way too long.....Love peace and FREEDOM to all PLestinians
I'm very glad to see Richard Falk. His report as the UN Special Rapporteur on the blockade of Gaza and the attack on the Freedom Flotilla motivated me to fight against the inhumane occupation of Palestine. For me, this was the first voice that called for Israel to be held accountable for violating international law. You are a hero of our time.
He was maligned by the u.s. for his clarity in judging the zionist state and made to leave his post. Disgraceful u.s. determination, but I have come to realize this is common u.s. policy.
Thank you, Professor R.Falk emeritus at Princeton University ❤
Still bright and sharp and wise at age 93, and a voice of reason, justice and genuine peace.
Incredible analysis! Thank you Professor Falk
Salute these wise words
Le boucher Netanyahu se moque de l’ICJ. Il a le soutien des USA et de l’UE.
🕊️🇵🇸🕊️
Psychopathes au sommet et ils mènent la barque de la folie collective des isrealiens en Palestine
A true educator of conscience
Richard Falk is one of the most discerning and profound thinkers alive today.
Ok. So when will the complicit governments be tried and held accountable?
Complicity is absolutely equatable, IMO.... I like that he brought that word in.
❤ Nice Sir
A really very interesting interview 👍
FREE PALESTINE
Thank you so much for your analysis
Thank you
Totally ignored and mocked by pisrahell followed by defunding humanitarian aid by US , UK , Canada , Netherlands , Italy , Finland , Australia .
Always appreciative of Falk’s commentary on current events, including in this case the ICJ provisional order. He remains a ranking voice in international law despite his emeritus status at Princeton.
Excellent analysis, thank you. Hope the politicians are listening
Free All Christians and Muslims in Holy Land from Exterminations. Free all religions in holy land. Free Palistine
Indeed. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 from the Genocide of Apartheid Israel.
❤️ 🇵🇸 🍉 🇵🇸 ⚖️ 🇵🇸 🕊️ 🇵🇸 💚
Free the world 🌎
🎯🎯🎯 we need to end Jewish supremacy NOW!
And Jewish not zoinism
And Jewish not zoinism
This man explained the situation expertly
Isreal have been ordered to insure aid reach’s the people of Gaza there response was to accuse 12 UNWRA worker of there involvement in the 7th October, which has resulted in aid payment to UNWRA being suspended,the government that have taken this action are in contempt of the ICJ and are complicit with Isreal .
Israel lying about that fake story
Don't forget the USA jumped on board right away, and then insisted the UK & EU do the same. Mossad must have some dirty files on both the left & right politicians. Why else has it given away it's sovereignty to Israel.
And iof + settlers preventing aid to reach Gaza .
Israel “has been” not “have been”
“reaches” not “reach’s”
“Their” not “There”
Review your grammar!
Agreed! And I'm ashamed to have to admit that the Australian government was one of them! C'mon Aussie! Let 'em know that the Australian people do NOT support either genocide or ethnic cleansing, or ANY government which does!
❤❤❤
❤
Thank you for your breakdown of the decision.
Now it is so understandable 😮😮😮everything comes together. So many details no -one ever noticed
Describes things well.
Wish we had such wise elders having a say in running the US / UK / EU
Well said.
Saying that Palestinians were never able to create a powerful unit to create a force, is not of their own making! They are undermined, crushed, manipulated and annihilated! Palestinians existed for a long time before the occupation and the catastrophe of ‘Naqba’ in 1948. Zionism was too strong to defeat! Algerian kicked the French colonialists out of their country because their resistance was much stronger, everybody took part! Everyone had the same belief: die for your country! The same applies to the Vietnamese! 🇻🇳 I would say the Palestinians are capable of fighting this war given Israel was not getting all their weapon support and military forces from America and the EU. Palestine is fighting not only Israel, they are also fighting America, Germany, France, The Uk, the Netherlands and so on and so forth! Do you see 😢how difficult to face to multiple enemies!!!
Anyway the aim of an apartheid state like Israel is to fragmentize, segmentize and marginalise the colonised, in order to control them. In fact their very policies are aimed at preventing the expression of political will or the forming of efficient leadership. So I agree Palestinians were prevented by settler colonialist policies to do so..
Not only the palestinians who's fighting! The whole world against zioNazis lobbies and Israeli Ku-Klux-Klan. Europeans, Americans, Asians, Africans, we all stand with Free Palestine 🇵🇸✨
Due to fragmentation, segregation and marginalisations from the side of the apartheid regime, it is difficult to form an effective leadership for the colonialised people.
And still I believe PA🇵🇸 are the most unified and strong human beings that exist. Almost all the Western countries are colonizers, build and enriched on slaughter and destruction of other nations. They will need to be reminded over and over again about their existence.
The most important ruling in ICJ history and all the mainstream papers buried it because the decision didn’t go their way.
The U.S. has played a significant role in stifling any attempt by Palestinian self determination since the inception of Israel. It was planned that way.
Marginalized or ignored in the US media, while a frequent guest in middle east media, makes his feeling oh being an "inner exile" more poignant.
What an astute and honorable American. At 72 , and a lifetime Democrat, I resonate with his insights into how we need to shift our cultural attitudes to bring change given all he laid out . With the current political dynamics of wealth and military agendas and weapon manufacturing world we need voices like his to lead us, find new candidates to bridge the young voters and the older voters , those who seem to refuse to see the future , the truth and get involved politically.
Where are these new voices that can be active against the power of AIPAC?
In my experience as a Canadian, having a viable 3rd party is critical for holding governments accountable to the people.
A credible threat with about 25% support, though never yet In power federally, the New Democratic Party often holds the 'balance of power' - the votes that mean the difference between a bill passing and not passing.
The two major parties will say that it "splits the vote" but of course they will. lol
Wise man
Professor Falk is one of the giants of International Law.
His views are very important.
Things are not very promising for USA.
brilliant
‘Can people control their own government? Is the question of this decade.
In a true Democracy, this should be the case... the fact that it is evidently impossible in most, if not all, countries which like to call themselves 'democracies' these days, for the people's wishes to prevail against the aims and agendas of vested interest groups, proves that 'Democracy' is a highly endangered, if not in fact, an extinct species! More's the pity!
Not with a deMOCKracy!
Brilliant
7th Oct security breach by Hamas is the largest that we can think off,it's a virtually impossible scenario? Ask any independent security consultant, well except for a hijacked passenger liner to fly into the Pentagon?😢😢😢
What a mensch❤
Sir,Palestine has become the Moral Centre of the world and its People. People relate to their own disadvantaged spheres in Social,Political n economic arena.,everyday their ballots are hijacked by Interest Groups to reign supreme with their voices muffled.
People need basics, Peace, jobs,health care n leaders who are attuned to their needs n above all have Moral Standards.....
The apartheid state needs to go
Bring down the wall
La CPI ha ignorado los crímenes israelies y la complicidad de EEUU 🤷
Strengthen your IMAAN IN YOUR HEART FIRST IN YOUR HEART FIRST. Body mind voice colour can make you inferior or superior . From whom we come to him we return and want to return having believed and lived as his told way as a one body mind and voice one ummah ( humans) and not a superior race❤❤❤
The more videos made on how the ICJ ruling was a good thing, the more I start doubting the ruling.
It's not a ruling yet, it found genocide "plausible" and made an interim order for Israel to "prevent genocide". A full trial will follow .
Very important analysis. Too bad the audio is so crackly.
Algo
Sometimes
So, are we at a point where Israel surrenders?
Natzis never surrunder , you should know from history classes .
But this Time they have USA government on their side 😢😢😢😢
@@user-px3nc2qs5e Doesn't make them any the less Nazis.
Can we just cut to the chase please?
Unless tge ICJ can enforce compliance through miltary force this is all judicial theatrics?
I have a question:
Didn’t the ICJ rule that the hostages abducted by Hamas et al on 10/7 need to be released “immediately and unconditionally”?
That was over a week ago. So much for “immediately.”
And all I hear about are prisoner exchange deals. Or releasing hostages “in exchange for X, Y, or Z.”
So much for “unconditionally.”
Is Hamas subject to international law or not?
It hasn’t accomplished anything.
Richard Falk so clearly described the quandary faced by the American electorate. Democrats for years have adopted the strategy of offering candidates just slightly better than those offered by the Republicans. We do have some remarkable progressive members in Congress but because corporate America owns the President and the majority of Democratic legislators, there is little they can do. The Republicans, of course, are much more concerned about gun rights than human rights. My best hope, and it's a long shot, is that Trump is disqualified for attempting to suborn the election and supporting the insurrection at the Capitol and that Biden steps down to allow a candidate with values more closely aligned to mine into the race. A future of fascism or accepting a President that offers to unconditionally support an ally committing genocide?
Okay, but not really that illuminating
Thank you. Just found his speech very slow.
En tous cas grace a Israël et la reaction de la cij, nous avons une jurisprudence internationale, permettant z quiconque le clame s'appuyant sur sa croyance, d'exproprier quelqu'un par la force !.
Sur la côte d'azur , y en a des belles vue sur mer, je serai bien tenté...
Mais attention c ecrit dans mon livre en page 543 je dis pas ca comme ca ...
The Buck Stops with Netanyahu and Hamas
No, "the buck stopswith Israel" and its fascist government.
Free Palestine! 🍉
agree with everything except the climate change😂😂😂
This man is consistently repulsive
I’ve fallen asleep…… he speaks soooooo S L O W
😂He’s apparently in his 90s. Just speed up the audio!
I think it was a perfect prelim decision. I wanted an explicit ceasefire but I still thought the correct legal decision was ‘stop doing the genocide’. Even Hamas thought that - tried to swing it with a commitment to cease fire too, but courts can’t decide on ‘trust me bro’ and the right to resist the occupation would persist in any case.
