Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips says he stands for the rule of law. So why did he choose to vote for a bill that would sanction International Criminal Court officials – as well as their families – after the court requested an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu’s role in the war on Gaza?
Mehdi also pressed Phillips on the recent killings of over 274 Palestinians in an operation aimed at freeing four Israelis hostages. While condemning the hostage situation, Mehdi asked if the toll of civilian casualties was acceptable.
“It’s not an unacceptable price. But I think it’s a price that has to be paid,” Phillips responded.
“Why aren’t all lives equal?” Mehdi challenges.
They also debated US complicity in war crimes, whether Democrats value Palestinian life, and Phillips’s own failed presidential bid earlier this year.
