Red Cards & Arrest Warrants

Western powers agree: Israel-USA must be free to commit high crimes with impunity. Those who name its crimes, and call for justice, face condemnation and sanction. Case in point: UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. But the Italian law scholar won’t back down. The GPM speaks with her predecessor, Michael Lynk. And, a red card for Israeli footballers? Nowhere near enough. Human rights groups want top football chiefs to be prosecuted for their support of apartheid Israel, and have taken their case to the International Criminal Court. The GPM speaks with Irish Sport for Palestine.

Sustainable development and a stable climate – these are human rights. The GPM speaks with Bonny Ibhawoh, Chair of the UN Expert Mechanism on the Right to Development. And, the Chagossian people have a right to return to their ancestral homeland, in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Big problem: the UK and US have turned it into a huge military base — launch pad for US wars around the planet. The GPM speaks with author David Vine about the plight and human rights struggle of the Chagossian people.

They’re as cold as ICE. As US-backed Israeli forces terrorize Gaza, reducing the long-besieged enclave to rubble, smashing its people to bits, Donald Trump’s masked, plain-clothed, paramilitary militia terrorize black, brown and Latino communities coast to coast. The GPM speaks with antiwar/justice group CODEPINK. And, two dozen Canadian Senators call for a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel. We speak with one of them.
