00:15They've spent a year and a half ignoring their obligations as governments to fulfil the most basic international laws to protect people. They've ignored them to such an extent now that it seems that Israel can openly say that it's going to engage in ethnic cleansing.
00:31These are the most grave crimes imaginable, and they are not being held to the same account as a rap group who ultimately are trying to highlight the Palestinian cause from a place of human decency and a place of really empathy, sympathy and a real sense of sadness for what's happening to them.
00:52And those two things, in terms of how they're held, and legally, the most fundamental human rights of just people, to hold a band to a higher account than political leaders, it's depraved. It just doesn't make any sense.
