00:00These horrors are neither sudden or accidental, they are the culmination of decades of moral and political failure within a resilient colonial world order sustained by a global system of complicity.
00:18Through unlawful actions and deliberate omissions, too many states have harmed, funded, and shielded Israel's militarized apartheid, allowing its settler colonial enterprise to metastise into genocide, the ultimate crime against the indigenous people of Palestine.
00:37How did it happen?
00:39First, diplomacy.
00:41Diplomatic fora meant to preserve peace have been used to justify and advance this genocide, dehumanizing the Palestinians, legitimizing Israel's false claim to be acting in self-defense or vetoing ceasefires.
00:58Those who have dared to oppose it by using, for example, the international justice system, like South Africa, Palestine, Nicaragua, or Norway before the International Court of Justice, or those who have engaged with international criminal court, have come under heavy pressure.
01:17Second, military ties.
01:19Weapons, intelligence, and joint trainings have fed the genocidal machinery.
01:24The United States alone accounts for two-thirds of Israel's weapon imports.
