And remember boys and girls, this is not "hostage taking" because - as the simpleton useful idiots never cease to repeat - "it's legal".

(Thinking people might start pondering on which laws in their own supposedly Democratic countries are moral and which are nothing more than the hypocritical abuse of "justice" to cover up abuses of power)

And it's not even "legal legal" either, it's legal as in "Israel has control of the area because they won't let the Palestinian Authority rule it on their own, thus they interpret legality as they see fit while outside of the Israeli legal code" legal.

It's a very "special" kind of "legal" which is transnational so it applies outside the borders of the country that has made that law.

To be more clear. It's a law made by Israel and enforced in Palestine.

Which is a war crime anywhere else in the world.

Echoes from ghost of the Hague: I was only following orders.

WE will never forget. WE won't allow Israel to forget either.
