Summary

Geopolitical Economy Report editor Ben Norton and Palestinian activist Omar Baddar return to Bad Faith to discuss Biden's unconstitutional bombing of Yemen, the broader context for the broadening regional war, and the latest from day two of the ICJ hearings, in which Israel attempted to defend it's 100 day siege of Gaza. Will growing public solidarity for Palestine on the international stage finally lead to accountability for Israel and the west?

The US is also occupying Syria, it's occupying Iraq, now it's waging war on Yemen,

0:05.8

and it's arming Israel right now as it's engaged in genocide,

and of course the entire international community is watching what's going on.

who were commemorating his death.

Around 100 people were killed, civilians.

1:18.5

I mean, they're really doing everything they can to basically start World War III.

1:23.1

So that's why I think one of the most important takeaways from what's going on right now is the

1:27.4

fact that almost no one in the region was willing to join the US and the UK.
