22 Aug BDS Means Showing Disdain for Israeli Athletes?
...promotes disruptive elements in society, not Amb Baker's creed. The only fortunate part is that Jews like you are not in a majority. The "tens of thousands of supporters" are the anti-Semitic lot who provide the oxygen for radical Islamists the world over. Mark Response...C'mon Kevin. Don't be coy and don't play us for fools. If Israel unilaterally withdrew from the West Bank tomorrow, you and the rest of BDS would still claim it was occupied. Kumar @MArk... Know something Mark, Israel's existence will be questioned even assuming the Palestine...03 Oct Two Questions from the al-Awlaki Killing
...in general international law even though they had long been numerically preponderant in Palestine, owning most of the land, and even reaching high political office under the Turks. This is because at that time self-determination was, at best, a political principle. It did not exist as an independent legal right, which all peoples could invoke. However, the Arabs were represented at the Paris Peace Conference. Emir Feisal was given a right of audience by the Great Powers and in his speech before them he did assert a claim to Palestine.18...07 May CUNY Embarrasses Itself over Playwright Tony Kushner (Updated)
...either. [insert here] delenda est KJH, if I do wish you wrote less about Israel and Palestine it is because I get much more out of your writing about, eg, the ICC. As it happens I consider BDS to be an abomination, insofar as bad ideas go. I didn't think this of the divestment of interests in South Africa but I don't actually see the logical link, unless it is to highlight the absurdity of choosing Israel for 'BDS'. But I am reassured to hear that you do oppose any...26 Jun Are Security Council acts relevant to the formation of Customary International Law?
...parties concerned, that were considered tantamount to legally binding treaties. For example, the minority protection plan contained in resolution 181(II) placed fundamental rights under UN guarantee and was cited in the GA request and the ICJ advisory opinion as a relevant resolution that was the source of the UN's permanent or on-going responsibility for the question of Palestine. It was included in a catalog of minority treaties and instruments published by the Secretary General in 1950. The plan for Palestine was the only instrument that wasn’t deemed to be affected...01 May Guest Post: Landmark French Ruling on West Bank Construction and International Law
...indeed built for that purpose, and here I'm afraid there is no clear answer. East Jerusalem Palestinians ride it freely (and they make much use of it), but since Israel annexed East Jerusalem and separated it almost completely from the West Bank, it doesn't service Palestinians at large. If there was freedom of movement from the West Bank to Jerusalem, I guess Israel would have a strong case. Daniel Accepting this decision, I presume the war crime over which the ICC has jurisdiction could only be committed by government officials...13 Sep So Much for Academic Freedom at the University of Sydney
...its marketing strategy." (p. 19) -- Israel has no "colonial mandate". The claim of a right to build settlements in the West Bank is based on the prior document controlling Palestine, i.e. the Mandate, which existed BEFORE Israel. (Does Salaita know this?) Israel's origin was not "colonial". The Jews in Mandatory Palestine were governed by Britain, just as the Arabs were; the Jews were not agents of the Brits. Israel "prevents an indigenous population from accessing even the most basic rights of citizenship." (p. 22) No it doesn't; Israeli Arabs...04 Jun Events and Announcements: 4 June 2023

16 Jun Baldassi and Others v. France: Criminal Convictions of BDS Activists Violate Freedom of Expression under the European Convention on Human Rights
...of the Case The applicants are eleven members of the ‘Palestine 68 Collective’, a French organization supporting the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. The movement was founded on July 9, 2005 as a response from Palestinian non-governmental organizations to the Advisory Opinion on the Legality of Israel’s Construction of a Wall delivered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) the year before. According to the ICJ, the Wall and the regime of de facto annexation it created was contrary to international law, and in particular international humanitarian law, international human...
27 Dec Access to Freshwater and Accountability Issues in the Israel-Hamas Armed Conflict
...The Office of the Prosecutor has thus the authority to investigate alleged violations committed by all parties involved in the armed conflict, including both Hamas and Israel. In fact, since 2021, the ICC has been already investigating the alleged crimes committed in Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem (see the decision of the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber here). This signifies a significant legal avenue for addressing potential serious violations of IHL, particularly in cases where the involved parties fail to ensure accountability. In addition, in situations where allegations of grave breaches...11 Jun Events and Announcements: 11 June 2023
