The civilian infrastructure largely destroyed. Raw sewage running into the roads right now, there is no electricity, last I heard, in Gaza. And what's even worse is that Israel has stopped, made it difficult for humanitarian aid to get in, leading to the hunger and eventual possible, possible starvation of tens and tens of thousands of children. That is a war crime. And I agree with the International Criminal Court. That said both Netanyahu and Sinwar, who was the leader of Hamas, they're both war criminals. (27:36–27:51)
