We speak with Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, who says the "monstrosity" of Israel's ongoing war on Gaza, including attacks on civilians and restrictions on aid, shows that the International Court of Justice's provisional orders to protect civilians are being ignored. "What should be done is an arms embargo right now and sanctions, because Israel is not in compliance with the critical measures ordered by the ICJ," says Albanese.

In both cases, the results are populations of refugees, the transfer of lands from the local people to the new colonial powers, forwarding and protecting the interests of international capital.
