Peloni: Prof. Kontorovich provides a detailed explanation as to why Trump was so grossly in error when he stated he was going to stop Israel from “annexing the West Bank”, even ignoring the use of the pejorative to reference our ancient homelands in Judea and Samaria. By history, international agreements and customary international law, Israel has no need to annex that which is her own. Israel has a right to enact her laws for the legal protections of her own people in her own lands, and pretending otherwise only supports the antisemitic goal of labeling the Jewish state as the ‘special case’, the lone exception to legal protections and practices made normative throughout the entire rest of the world.
‘International law’ hardly demands a ‘two-state solution’ to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Nor can it properly limit Israel’s sovereignty over its own territory.
