The 50-Year Plan to Criminalize Israel

"For 50 years, the anti-Israel community of nations has been steadily nudging international law to be interpreted in a way that would turn Israel's admirable action of allowing Jews voluntarily to move to ancestral lands into a war crime.

The first thing Israel's opponents needed to do was to define Judea and Samaria as 'occupied territory,' since Geneva [Conventions] only refers to occupied territory. They did this using a neat trick: They ignored the official definition of 'occupied' as defined in the Hague Conventions, whereby the 'occupied territory' must belong to a 'state.'

Instead, Israel's enemies say that the laws of occupation must apply anyway, because the people in the territory must be protected, whether they are residing in a state (a 'high contracting party') or not.

Israel always stated that it would uphold the humanitarian provisions of Geneva for any non-citizen Arabs who lived under its rule. But it said that building houses and communities - which were nearly always away from Arab population centers - did not violate any humanitarian rules of Geneva...

When the International Criminal Court was being created, the Arab nations seized the opportunity to upgrade Israel's 'crime' once again. The Rome Statute lists as war crimes things like murder, torture, kidnapping, intentionally attacking civilians - but then it adds one more that has never been considered a war crime in history: The transfer, directly or indirectly, by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies...

The only target of this was, again, Israel, which would now be considered criminal for not stopping Jews from moving into their historic lands.

This is only one of many examples of Israel-haters having managed to move the goalposts of international law against Israel - and only Israel.

The sober jurists and arbiters of international law have allowed themselves to be manipulated - due to decades of propaganda and laziness at deciding to 'compromise' with those who want to destroy Israel - into believing that allowing Jews to live in the historic areas of Israel are war crimes on par with directly and purposefully attacking civilians...

The new UN Resolution 2334, although not international law, is simply another in a series of never-ending actions that are all intended to twist, manipulate and create an international legal framework against Israel..."
