Ken Roth on Israel's "Starvation Strategy" in Gaza & "Righting Wrongs" of Abusive Governments

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt We continue our conversation with Kenneth Roth, the former executive director of Human Rights Watch and the author of the new book, Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments. Roth discusses the fragile ceasefire in Gaza amid news that Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu is refusing to withdraw Israeli troops as per his government's agreement with Hamas, as well as withholding food and humanitarian aid from Gaza. "This is a continuation of the starvation strategy that Israel has been pursuing against Palestinian civilians in Gaza, which is a war crime," says Roth. He adds that the United States is also implicated in Israel's war crimes, and shares how the human rights framework can be applied to achieving peace in the region.
