Israel commits WAR CRIMES: UN official


UN Palestine expert shuts down foolish journalist
(Novara Media) Nov. 16, 2023: Domination, crime against humanity, by definition, not a trope. Novara Live broadcasts every weekday from 6:00 pm on YouTube and Twitch. Episodes of Downstream are released Sundays at 6:00 pm on YouTube.

The U.N. Special Rapporteur to the Occupied Palestinian Territory Francesca Albanese declared this week that Israel does not, under international law, have a right to claim "self-defense" in its attacks against Hamas (and the Al-Qassam Brigades).

In fact, under international law, Israel is committing "war crimes."

You're an antisemite. We're the most moral army!
Albanese's declarations came Tuesday (11/15/23) during an address to the National Press Club of Australia, when she deemed Israel's excuse that it was acting in "self-defense" non-existent under international law.

She took aim at the belligerent state for its "unrelenting bombardment of Gaza" [and Palestinian civilians that Israel says are "human shields" and therefore legal "collateral damage" when, in fact, they are non-state actors, an occupied population, and the legal responsibility of the occupying state actor, Israel] and other illegal actions.

Why?
Okay, maybe a little. U.S. said it was okay.
Israel, according to Albanese, cannot claim a "right to self-defense" because it is not under threat from another state.

"Israel cannot claim the right of self-defense against a threat that emanates from a territory it occupies, from a territory that is under [Israel's] belligerent occupation," Special Rapporteur Albanese said from the event in Canberra, Australia.


"What Israel was allowed to do was to act to establish law and order, to repel the attack, neutralize whomever was carrying out the attacks, and then proceed with law-and-order measures...not waging a war," she added. More

"Genocide"? Schmenicide!

British columnist Owen Jones: Israel is committing genocide, wiping Gaza off the map
(Middle East Eye) Nov. 16, 2023: “15,000 [Palestinian] people have now been killed [by Israeli Jews] in Gaza. One in every 200 people in Gaza have now been killed. If you were to adjust for the population in Ukraine, that would be 300,000 Ukrainian civilians.”

British newspaper columnist Owen Jones debated Piers Morgan on his show on Wednesday, calling out Morgan for describing Russia’s actions in Ukraine as a genocide while refusing to label Israel’s attacks on Gaza as genocide.
