| Israeli Genocide: International Law Has Never Protected the Palestinians |
Palestinian lawyer and writer Reza Shehadeh has said that Israel's genocidal war in Gaza over the past 21 months has brought about the death of international law and rules-based order. He said that now Israel is openly declaring its war criminal policy without any concealment.
Recently, Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz revealed plans to forcibly relocate Palestinians to a camp in the rubble of Gaza's Rafah. This, he said, was basically to create a 'concentration camp'. "Israeli human rights lawyer Michael Sfard told The Guardian that Katz had" "announced a plan to commit crimes against humanity." "" '
Shehadeh said the seeds of denying humanity to the Palestinians were sown in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. "They were then forcibly evicted from their land and property, in what Palestinians remember as the" "Nakba" "or" "Catastrophe." "" Since then, Israel's occupation of Arab homes and lands has been carried out without any sense of guilt.
He said the failure of international institutions to prevent Israel's war crimes is disappointing. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant, but no action was taken. Western countries continue to provide political and military support to Israel.

However, Shehadeh believes that the Palestinians' hopes are not based on international law, but on their determination and will to survive. "" "Even after 77 years, the Palestinians remain committed to their land." Despite the illegal settlement and geographical changes in the West Bank, we did not give up.
