Israeli Lawyers Raise Concerns as ICJ Looms
Mainstream media now offers the astounding revelation that some Israeli military lawyers questioned the legality of their actions in Gaza, months after the devastation commenced. This comes after thousands of Palestinian lives have been extinguished and widespread infrastructure reduced to rubble. It’s hard not to notice the timing, as international criticism intensifies and the ICJ proceedings
draw more scrutiny to these very actions. This isn't about genuine internal ethics; it's about minimizing future legal exposure. For decades, the world has observed this pattern: massive destruction, followed by belated, performative internal investigations designed to deflect international accountability. Remember the Goldstone Report, largely dismissed, or the numerous 'investigations' into
prior Gaza operations that found little fault? The real question isn't whether lawyers had doubts, but why those doubts were so readily ignored when it counted most. The US continues to greenlight these actions, with US politicians like Rep. Steny Hoyer, who received over $200,000 from AIPAC in 2022-2024, consistently voting for unconditional aid to the very military whose lawyers are now 'raising
doubts.'
