00:00So my question is that would you, if circumstances were different, would you have vowed to arrest the leaders of
00:07Hamas who perpetrated the October 7th attack if they were visiting New York?
00:13And if so, why not include something about that to show New Yorkers that, you know, you're presenting a more
00:21balanced approach? Why not include that in your video?
00:24Didn't the ICC put forward a warrant for Yahya Senwar?
00:28I mean, I know he's dead.
00:30Yes, but my point is that they did.
00:32And in the video, I made very clear, as I have before, that my interest in executing that warrant is
00:40not specific to Benjamin Netanyahu, but to anyone who they put a warrant towards for war crimes and crimes against
00:48humanity.
00:49And part of that is a reflection of a universal politics.
00:52And it is from a universal politics that I can look in October 7th and describe it for what it
00:57is, which is a horrific war crime.
00:59And I can also look at Benjamin Netanyahu and see the way that he has orchestrated this genocide and also
01:06deem him to similarly be a war criminal.
01:08And I think especially at a time when there are those in Washington who are discussing measures to take apart
01:15the International Criminal Court,
01:16what so many are looking for is a sense that there is, in fact, a rule of law across the
01:23world where there are crimes that are so grave that they offend all of humanity.
01:27And I believe that we should hold those who perpetrate them accountable, no matter who they are or where they're
01:33from.
01:33And when it comes to the ICC, they've put forward warrants, whether it's Yahya Senwar, Benjamin Netanyahu, I think a
01:39few other members of the Israeli government.
01:41I believe that all of them should be honored.
