Thursday, July 31, 2014 - 00:00

Dr John Reynolds, Lecturer in International Law at Maynooth University Department of Law, was interviewed by Matt Cooper on Today FM’s ‘The Last Word’ on 29 July 2014 about Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

Dr Reynolds discussed the mounting civilian death toll and the questions arising under international law from the targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure. He also spoke about issues of collective punishment in the siege of Gaza and the broader occupation and colonisation of Palestinian territory, as well as Israel’s recent use of lethal force against demonstrations in the West Bank and the ongoing failure of the international community to bring accountability to bear on the conflict.
