Second stage debate, yeah.

Very simply, Israel is guilty of the worst crime possible, which is genocide.

It is in violation of the Genocide Convention.

It's slaughtered 75,000 people in Gaza.

It's destroyed Gaza.

It's engaged in an ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing on the West Bank.

It operates an apartheid system.

It's guilty of the collective punishment of the people of Gaza for nearly 20 years.

It is in violation of just about all human rights law internationally.

And yet we still haven't imposed any sanction on this state.

I mean, it's now helped in unleashing a war across the Middle East, which is impacting the entire world.

It's a complete rogue regime.

Because it is a uniquely horrific regime in the sense that it is based, the entire state is predicated on a campaign of ethnic cleansing, starting in 1948 with the Nakba, the anniversary of which is coming up this weekend.

which ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians, millions of whom are still living as refugees, displaced all across the Middle East, whose right to return is established under international law but denied by the Israeli regime.

And yet they continue.

Not only do they not give those people the right to return, but they continue in an ongoing systematic campaign on...

of ethnic cleansing, and then, of course, the worst crime of all, the genocide, for which it's now in the dark.

And yet we don't impose a single sanction.

Well, it's in the dark.

It hasn't been convicted.
