The Israel-Gaza war has been raging for more than a month, killing over 10,500 civilians in Gaza, half of them children. Israel says it is acting in legitimate self-defence and is rooting out Hamas. Meanwhile, criticism over the deadly Israeli air strikes is mounting, with rights groups and some countries repeatedly calling for a ceasefire.

What are the limits to the principle of self-defence? What role can the United States and the international community play?

On UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill challenges David Friedman, former US ambassador to Israel under President Donald Trump, on whether Israel is respecting international law.

    When he says he doesn't care what the UN says, that's all you need to know about this guy.
  • This is real journalism, asking questions and not being satisfied when you know they lying. We need more like him , who aren’t afraid to ask the hard questions and go after it
  • @ad7711x
    “I don’t really care what the UN says” That right there sums up this entire segment.
  • @2clau
    “I spent 5 years of my life studying and living this, when was the last time you were in Gaza, Marc?” “18 months ago, how about you?” silence “uh, uh, a few years ago”. Priceless
  • @danletras
    Friedman really embarrassed himself with this one. Unprepared, didactic, dishonest. Thank you, Mark Lemont Hill.
  • @stefanc4520
    Did he just say we should listen to him over the entire international community because he's unbiased? I can't breathe 😂😂😂
  • @HAli-jd2ph
    Professor Hill running laps around his guest, completely exposing and dismantling his arguments. Well done sir, much respect 🙏
  • @zameisie7016
    Israel does not have a right to bombard civilians
  • You did the best you could Dr. Hill. This guy is an unlistenable liar.
  • @abeltesfaye_

  • @savlosavage
    Marc is funny ... "18 months ago ... when was the last time you were in Gaza?"
  • @HS-fm3zk
    This guy :) ''Lets avoid a straw man argument...'' This man is a gem, he never backed out one bit
  • Blessings to ML Hill for demonstrating it is possible to patiently love one's brother without avoiding the hard questions (& answers). TY
  • What a interview, the journalist didn’t settle down for bullshit answers, I’m glad marc lamont hill got a job where he’s able to speak however he wants.
  • @Brian-zd9ux
    lol he didn't expect the 18 months ago answer
  • the most disappointing part of this interview was that Marc never asked the question " if Hamas were hiding in an Israeli hospital in Tel Aviv, would the IDF have blown it up?"
  • @001saida
    Thank you Marc Lamont Hill for speaking the truth🙏🏼 these warcriminals needs to be hold accountable for all the their horrible crimes! I wish there would be more honest people who dare to speak up!
