Israel’s Big Lie of “Self-Defence”

An occupier does not have the right to use arms in “self-defence”.


There are four reasons why Israel cannot cite a legal right to self-defence in response to Palestinian violence.

First
and foremost is that the ability of a very strong military power to achieve anything defensive by the attrition of a much weaker military power is spurious and leads into the genocidal logic of attempting to deprive a people of all capacity for violence.

The second reason is that Israel is actively contravening UN Security Council resolutions and the UN Charter is very clear on the fact that the right to self-defence exists “until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.” A state that works to thwart UNSC measures to maintain peace and security cannot logically be extended the unimpaired right to self defence.

On the third count Israel is an occupying power and the occupied have a legal right to armed resistance. It would be nonsensical to accord a legal right to use arms to defend against another’s legal resistance.

Fourthly, it would be equally paradoxical to allow each party to act in self-defence against each other’s acts of self defence.
Thus one of the parties must be the aggressor. On several counts, not least its defiance of UNSC resolutions, Israel must be considered the aggressor.
Israel’s only legitimate way of defending itself begins with ending its occupation. Israelis have a right to life and they deserve peace and security as we all do, but they have no right to kill Palestinians and claim that they are pursuing those things.

Let's make no mistake, Israel is the aggressor! And it is committing genocide. According to Arnon Soffer...

“When 2.5 million people live in a closed-off Gaza, it’s going to be a human catastrophe. Those people will become even bigger animals than they are today … The pressure at the border will be awful. It’s going to be a terrible war. So, if we want to remain alive, we will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day..."

These words are shockingly Himmleresque in labelling a people animals; in stating that mass killing is neither choice nor desire, but necessity...

All the Israeli supporters at this website echo this theme that it is "necessary" to inflict all this damage on the Palestinian's. This is Germany in the 30's all over again!
For those who do not pretend history starts only when Israel takes action, Hama's craven assault on Jewish civilians played a huge role in their current situation. That can only be denied by willful blindness.

This has been going on for 70 years.
 
I told you, this has nothing to do with Jews.

Do you have any evidence not from an Israeli?
Good lord you’re lame. Have you ever, even once in your pitiful life, had a date? And I mean, with someone of the opposite sex, and not related to you?
 
You put your boots under the bed of a terrorist, don’t think you won’t face the victims wrath along with your lover.
The victims here are the Palestinians.
Israel does not occupy Gaza

But that may have to change after all this

There is no blockade

If there were Hamas would not have thousands of rockets in tunnels
You are a fucking liar!
