Natasha Hausdorff on how international law is being weaponized against Israel
Description
Natasha Hausdorff, a barrister specializing in international law, examines why Israel faces disproportionate targeting by international organizations. She argues the International Criminal Court violated its own jurisdiction and rules by pursuing arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, demonstrating what she calls the weaponization of international law. She also discusses how NGOs and academic institutions have contributed to this legal distortion, connects anti-Zionism to historical antisemitism, and addresses the rise of protests in Western democracies targeting Jewish communities.
