Be brave. Do what this country did with apartheid South Africa. Admit it is an apartheid state. It is an uncivilised state. It is a barbaric state. And that it should have sanctions imposed on it in order to end that apartheid, end that occupation, and end the possibility of the sort of genocidal slaughter we have seen for the last four months."
