greatest legal mind alive regarding this issue
EK is certainly one of the greatest B”H. One is amazed at the number of pundits, “scholars,” etc. who confidently, even adamantly, assert the usual idiocy about purported violations of IHL.
Watch Jacques Gauthier also on International Law and Israel.
@@shainazion4073 just did, thanks!
Fascinating! Watching on JBS now. Thank you for this wonderful lecture explaining what is going on.
Another prize presentation captured by JBS. If you don't have the time (or capacity) to follow the professor's lucid explanation of the legal issues involved, at least watch the six minutes or so from 35:51 to the end, where he presents the best response for the U.S. and Israel to the anti-Israel resolution 2334:
"Now I think we should all be very careful how we describe this UN Security Council resolution. The Security Council resolution did not say that settlements are illegal. I read it very carefully, it never says that settlements are illegal. It says that settlements are illegal, if they are done by Israel. Now, if they want to state a general principle of international law, they say, " This is our anti-settlement resolution: settlements are illegal." They don't say settlements are illegal, they say Israeli settlements are illegal, which does not sound like a legal principle. But as a practical matter, as a legal matter, the Security Council is not a legislature, and it is not a court. It does not have the authority to make or interpret international law, and a resolution of at least the kind that was adopted a few weeks ago does not have any technical legal weight. Now that is not to say that it does not have a lot of practical and diplomatic weight. And the purpose of such resolutions is not to have any specific legal consequence, but to crystalize opinion, to act as a rallying cry for various forces, to promote boycotts, and various trade measures against Israel. And the best way to resist such a resolution is for the United States to fight the very idea of this resolution. The resolution says settlements are illegal, the resolution says any Jewish presence across the Green Line is, I would say, contaminated, I think is the right word, because the resolution says you can't touch them, you can have no dealings with them: impure. Put the American embassy in eastern Jerusalem, that's the answer to that. Put the American embassy in eastern Jerusalem. [applause] There's already a large American diplomatic facility there, a consulate. Because the way to fight it is to show that one does not accept the fundamental premises, and to show it in action."
Eugene Kontorovich's concluding thoughts are also well worth hearing.
Thank you for the time stamp and putting the text in your comment, I screenshot things like this for future reference as well as saving the video
why is this man not speaking in front of the UN
A good question. But I think the answer is that the UN will refuse to listen to him. The great majority in the UN have their MINDS ALREADY made up. They have been brainwashed IN GREAT BLINDNESS into "seeing Israel as the guilty one."

The UN is a mostly a bunch of islamist and other vile dictators
Tovia Singer might offer insights
Most of his videos commenters include Muslims Christians Buddhists Jews agnostics atheists and Hindus & moreall saying thank you rabbi for your clarity. Many jezeusian adherents snipe, yip, obfuscate, misquote & misread the Tanakh to create a taint in the comments though that is often humorous in its willful blindness; correcting a rabbi who reads Hebrew and has studied the texts in their entirety his entire life
Because he would be rightly laughed out of the building
Absolutely brilliant, informative and empowering.
Thank you so much!
I love eugene kontorovich
A lot of ligal info, it was pleasure to see Professor Kontorovich speaking!
Face it - No Arab-Palestinian state west of the Jordan River
If you read the 1917 Balfour Declaration (Which emulated Napoleons 1799 letter to the Jewish community in Palestine promising that The National Home for The Jewish people will be reestablished in Palestine, as the Jews are the rightful owners). Nowhere does it state an Arab entity west of The Jordan River. The San Remo Conference of 1920 does not state an Arab entity west of The Jordan River, confirmed by Article 95 in the 1920 Treaty of Sevres. The Mandate for Palestine terms does not state an Arab entity west of the Jordan River. It specifically states a Jewish National Home in Palestine without limiting the Jewish territory in Palestine. It also states that the British should work with the Jewish Agency as the official representative of the Jews in Palestine to implement the National Home of the Jewish people in Palestine. I stress again; nowhere does it state that an Arab entity should be implemented west of the Jordan River.
As a matter of historical record, The British reallocated over 77% of Jewish Palestine to the Arab-Palestinians in 1922 with specific borders and Jordan took over additional territory like the Gulf of Aqaba which was not part of the allocation to Jordan.
No where in any of the above stated agreements does it provides for an Arab entity west of the Jordan River. The U.N. resolutions are non-binding with no legal standing, same applies to the ICJ. The Oslo Accords are null and void.
It is time to relocate the Arabs in Israel to Jordan and to the homes and the 120,000 sq. km. the Arab countries confiscated from the over a million Jewish families that they terrorized and expelled and those expelled Jews were resettled in Israel. They can use the trillions of dollars in reparations for the Jewish assets to finance the relocation of the Arabs and help set-up an economy and industry instead of living on the world charity. The Arab countries were allocated over 13 million sq. km. with a wealth of oil reserves.

Political Rights in Palestine aka The Land of Israel were granted only and exclusively to the Jews in all of Palestine
Israel should sue Britain for Breach of Trusteeship Duties on the Mandate for money damages and for so many lives lost due to the White Papers, etc.
It's time to relocate the jewish entity to the mediterranean sea. Jews will get a national home under the ocean. Fuck them..!!
1. The Diaspora Jews of Europe (i.e., those whose ancestors were displaced from their homeland in the Levant by non-indigenous European and Arab occupying powers) were not relocated to Mandate Palestine. In fact, in alliance with the Arabs of the MENA region which insisted on maintaining the integrity of the ummah, Britain did its best to keep the Hebrew people from returning. So, in accord with what Dr. Kontorovich said, there was no breach of international law.
2. The Hebrew people, and everything about them, are indigenous to the Levant. From their ethnicity, their written and oral language, their theological beliefs, and the personages portrayed in their writings. All of these things are of a Levantine provenance. That notwithstanding, there has never been a time when the Levant was devoid of Jews. Yes, Jews may have returned from Europe (to a largely empty, backwards land), but make no mistake, the Hebrew people have always been there; and, most often having had to accept second-class status to their Arab conquerors.
The lamentations of the Arabs concern the fact that Jews returning from Europe brought with them intellectual ideas which were foreign and upsetting to them, like feminism, democracy, and individual and religious liberties.
Look at the Muslim world today. Only recently is there the hint of an effort to rid itself of female genital mutilation; however, it has yet a very long way to go in accepting the rights of women, homosexuals, and the ethnic minorities indigenous to the lands they occupy as imperialist conquerors.
Many Arabs have vocally joined the BLM movement, but their motives are disingenuously political. There is, in fact, very little difference between Evangelical Christians and Islamists. They are both conservative religious movements with regressive patriarchal systems which proselytize their orthodox beliefs and are intent on suppressing individual liberties. The only reason Islamism has sought to anchor itself to the radical-left is because the Evangelicals would not accommodate them on the radical-right. This is because they are competing theologies on the world stage. Birds of a feather.
So, though many might be fooled by the Arab promotion of intersectionality with the struggles of the African American community, the underlying motive is purely political. There is no greater urgency for Islamists who pose as being sympathetic to the black American struggle than to maintain the hegemony of lands conquered by Arabs.

Article 49 - Deportations, transfers, evacuations
Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.
Nevertheless, the Occupying Power may undertake total or partial evacuation of a given area if the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand. Such evacuations may not involve the displacement of protected persons outside the bounds of the occupied territory except when for material reasons it is impossible to avoid such displacement. Persons thus evacuated shall be transferred back to their homes as soon as hostilities in the area in question have ceased.
The Occupying Power undertaking such transfers or evacuations shall ensure, to the greatest practicable extent, that proper accommodation is provided to receive the protected persons, that the removals are effected in satisfactory conditions of hygiene, health, safety and nutrition, and that members of the same family are not separated.
The Protecting Power shall be informed of any transfers and evacuations as soon as they have taken place.
The Occupying Power shall not detain protected persons in an area particularly exposed to the dangers of war unless the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand.
The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.
He went over that. What country is Israel occupying the territory of?
@@CorrosionX4 Israel is occupying Palestine, you moron.

This is good news for all the Kahanist worshiping Baruch Goldstein fans.
Esau,
Isn't truth good for everyone?
Surely this is all in theory. Until national courts in major countries, as have the French, rule that settlement is legal the declaration that they are illegal, especially when made by governments, remains the default?
Isn't the only real response is to set up test cases?
As the establishment of settlements also involves population transfers into Occupied Territory, these are prohibited under IHL. Any measure designed to expand or consolidate settlements is also illegal. Appropriation of land to build or expand settlements is similarly prohibited.
? You've not been listening
Israel haters are peak obtuse
Jewish settlements colonizing Palestine what could possibly go wrong .
Good thing that's not occurring since an indigenous people cannot colonize their own land.
@@axaeyexus European settlers are not indigenous to Middle East.
I lke how you argue with techinicalities to justify land stealing. Classic zionist 101, you get gold medal for mental gymnastics
Indigenous people cannot steal their own land. But, thanks for playing.
its not technicalities .. its law.
What land was "stolen"?
"Technicalities" i.e "international law" that anti Zionists like to quote everywhere
This argument is perhaps convincing to people who know nothing about the topic.
Most know more than you.
How so?
Yes, and clearly from your brilliant rebuttal you know so much more than the speaker. Lol
Okay but what about Pakistan? This rule doesn’t work for Pakistan
