- My thoughts on Sir Keir Starmer’s unhelpful comments in Parliament yesterday when he was responding to a question from an MP about genocide in Gaza. #Gaza #Gaza_Under_Attack #GazaGenocideA legal expert responds to Keir Starmer’s genocide comment. 🔊 @VictorKattan
00:00 - Reading ahead to deliver my first IHL seminar next week and this paragraph from one of the prescribed readings about the ‘My Lai massacre’ caught my eye— the perpetrators justified it by quoting the Bible and the Amalekites. Sound familiar?
