As Israel escalates its genocide [10] in Gaza and prepares to execute its final cleansing or "transfer [11]" of the populace of the Strip, calls are mounting [12] for humanitarian intervention [13] to protect the Palestinians [14]. In Episode 280 [15] of the CounterVortex podcast [16], Bill Weinberg explores the concrete steps [17] already taken [18] by elements of the international community to implement the "Responsibility to Protect [19]" doctrine in the Gaza Strip—as well as exploring the critique [20] of humanitarian intervention repeatedly raised in other contexts [21] by Noam Chomsky [22] and the anti-imperialist left.
