Shownotes

In Part 2 of our interview with human rights attorney and war crimes prosecutor Reed Brody, he says potential International Criminal Court charges of war crimes for high-ranking Israeli officials could include “the use of starvation as a tool of war, the power of the the hindering of humanitarian assistance in violation of the Geneva Conventions.” He also responds to the International Court of Justice’s rejection of a request by Nicaragua to order Germany to halt exporting arms to Israel. “A similar case on the United States, if it could be brought, would have a very different outcome,” Brody notes.
