the most vocal critics of Israel\u2019s military strategy against Hamas tend to live quite comfortably in Western countries?<\/p>\n<p>From students protesting at their expensive colleges, to celebrities opining about a complicated war they fail to fully grasp, many of those who decry Israel\u2019s supposed \u201catrocities\u201d have little of the background that would enable them to make any sort of intelligent or informed judgement.<\/p>\n<p>And, much of the time, even those with that sort of background have still fallen lockstep into the increasing \u201cevil Israel\u201d rhetoric, including one woman who straddled the line between Hollywood and international law \u2014 human rights lawyer and wife of actor George Clooney, Amal Clooney.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a

Netanyahu<\/a> and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has generated massive controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Accusing Israeli soldiers of \u201cwar crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023,\u201d ICC\u2019s lead prosecutor Karim Khan, it was revealed, did not rely just on his own poor judgement in deciding this matter.<\/p>\n<p>The <a

Foundation for Justice<\/a>, Clooney said that she and the panel \u201cunanimously determined that the Court has jurisdiction over crimes committed in Palestine and by Palestinian nationals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to believing there were \u201creasonable grounds\u201d to convict Hamas of war crimes, they also determined \u201cthere are reasonable grounds to believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have <a

Criminal Court to equate the victim with the executioner by issuing arrest warrants against a number of Palestinian resistance leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of Israel\u2019s leaders likewise responded, with former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett taking to the social media platform X, calling the effort a \u201chuge boost to global Jihadi terror\u201d and saying that \u201cAn ICC that compares the

with little wisdom, calling vociferously for the end to a conflict they never understood, <a

law.<\/p>\n<p>However, that she joined those same uneducated elites in denouncing Israel for the heinous crime of defending itself against a terrorist attack was rather revealing.<\/p>\n<p>The idea that a free nation defending itself against a terrorist attack is morally equivalent to the same terrorist group is absurd (especially seeing as Israel has gone out of its way to minimize the possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-israeli-forces-rescue-hostages-hamas-stronghold-daring-operation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">civilian casualties<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Educated or

and Hamas\u2019 actions are morally equivalent is beyond comprehension.<\/p>\n<p>But, according to the leftist elites, Israel is the <a

whatever they do is evil regardless of the reason, even if the \u201ccolonized\u201d was the aggressor.<\/p>\n<p>And, in accordance with that logic, Hollywood has spent an outsized amount of time and effort throwing its weight around to put Israelis and the Israeli government on blast for their ongoing war in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Funny how most of those working against Israel have safe mansions in secure neighborhoods they can return home to, rather than enduring rocket fire or summary execution courtesy of <a
