Arresting Netanyahu

Greg Townsend worked for the ICC tribunals in Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Kosovo and Lebanon. I want to learn from Greg what the next steps will be in the ICC judicial process for the Israeli officials. Why they are being charged? And how this will all eventually play out. I also want to figure out whether these international institutions are in the Western democracies interest or if they have been co-opted by bad actors. I want to find out if Israel can legally defend itself if Hamas uses human shields.

David Bellos is a Professor of Literature at Princeton. David has a new book entitled Who Owns This Sentence: A History of Copyrights and Wrongs. I am interested in learning from David the rationale for Copyright.

Many were Catholics from Ireland and Germany who were generally viewed as potential Democratic voters. How did Lincoln persuade the immigrants to fight and support the Republicans during the civil war?
