David French on Morality in War

A quick addendum.

A brief chat with David French about the moral value of the law of war. Senior producer Adaam wonders how law can shape a national ethos and whether there’s the teeny tiniest possibility that Israel is being treated differently than other nations.

    David could have been clearer in discussing the principle of proportionality, which has a distinct meaning in the Fourth Geneva Convention on protecting civilians. Body counts of opposing combatants are, as he said, less relevant.

    I found this page. I also found the Skiff archives page (by googling "dispatch skiff archive") and bookmarked it.

    Now I know how to find new Skiff content on the website and play it on my tablet. (I'm the person who doesn't do apps and feeds.)

    Thanks!

      Also! If you go to the navigation bar at the top of the site and click The Skiff (under podcasts), you'll find it has a playlist of the full feed as well.

        That's where the older ones are, yes. There doesn't seem to be a way to play any of those in a separate window, which is more functional for me when using the tablet. But it's still handier than the previous ways of finding the Dispatch Live and other miscellaneous stuff, so I can now catch up on the Kevin and David AMA that I'd been meaning to listen to.

        Going forward I'll use the archive page to find new ones and play them.

        Thanks again.
