Israel cannot claim the right of ‘self-defence’ under international law because Gaza is a territory which it occupies.

Israel’s Chief Rabbinate refuses to condemn destruction of Jesus statue in southern Lebanon
——
The highest Jewish religious authority in Israel has declined a military request to condemn the destruction of a statue of Jesus by an Israeli soldier in the southern Lebanese village of Debl earlier this month. According to a report by Army Radio on Thursday, military officials sought a formal denunciation from the Chief Rabbinate, hoping the body would declare the act a violation of Jewish law following a wave of international backlash. However, the religious leadership refused to issue a statement of condemnation for the desecration.
Rather than distancing itself from the act, the Rabbinate reportedly agreed to coordinate more closely with the military and the state’s hasbara apparatus to manage the public fallout of similar incidents in the future. The Israeli military has not denied the details of the report.
Blocking the strait of Hormuz is unfair,
But blocking the Rafah crossing for years, preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid for poor people of Gaza was totally fair.
Let that sink in.
I don’t get it. If Hezbollah had flats in this block (unlikely in central Beirut but not impossible) why did the Israelis give everyone inside an hour to get out — including those they wanted to kill? And if there weren’t any Hezbollah people there, why destroy a building with dozens of civilians in it?
