Me on the VC, February 28: “The IHL [international humanitarian law] neighborhood, writ giant, had been taken over by the far left, and for a wide range of interrelated ideological causes IHL activists are hostile to Israel’s very existence, and don’t consider that Israel has any proper to defend itself, together with from Hamas terrorism. Due to this fact any civilian casualties brought on by Israeli navy motion had been unacceptable.”
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese: “There is no such thing as a conflict that Israel has ever waged towards the Palestinians that may ever be deemed lawful. Israel has no proper to wage a conflict to invoke self protection towards the folks it maintains below occupation.”
It has been apparent to me for years that critics like Albanese, pundits at Human Rights Watch and Amnesty Worldwide, commentators like Glenn Greenwald, and varied worldwide legislation professors share the view that *any* navy motion by Israel is illegitimate, and easily costume up that prejudice within the language of worldwide legislation, however I’ve by no means seen it acknowledged so explicitly.
