Richard Seymour on the possibility of Israel's assault on Gaza leading to broader escalation in the Middle East.

And finally we talked about the proceedings at the International Court of Justice, where South Africa has asked the ICJ for an urgent order declaring that Israel is in breach of its obligations under the 1948 genocide convention.
