On this edition of Parallax Views, Kenneth Roth, former Executive Director of Human Rights Watch from 1993-2022, joins the show to discuss the Israel-Hamas or Gaza War from an international law perspective with a focus on the issue of war crimes. We begin the conversation by discussing HRW's notable report on Israel and apartheid, which focused on the West Bank, from a few years ago. From there we delve into the question of war crimes in relation to the Israeli bombing of Gaza. Kenneth Roth will address the responsibilities of a country engaged in a war, the "Hamas uses human shields argument" employed by pro-Israel voices when Israel is criticized for disproportionate civilian casualties, the Oct. 7th Hamas attack, the question of genocide, the importance of international law and human rights in the 21st century, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza (lack of clean water and food), and much, much more.
