Israel existence conflicting with international law: Pundit
Press TV interviews Paul Larudee, a co-founder of the Free Palestine Movement from San Francisco, and Geoffrey Alderman, a political commentator from London, to discuss Israel’s massive seizure of Palestinian lands.
Larudee says the land of Palestine “has belonged to Palestinians for the last 2,000 years,” adding that the Israelis were not born in the Palestinian territories and they do not have the right to come into the Arab land and occupy it.
“The existence of Israel itself is illegal” because the entity has been established “by force,” he maintains, adding, “The United Nations partition resolution was never implemented along the lines that it was supposed to be.”
Pointing to the rights of Palestinians to return to their homeland, he notes, “One of the conditions of the admission of Israel to the United Nations was its adherence to Resolution 194, which required them to permit all refugees to return to their homes in Palestine.”
The Israeli regime should be expelled from the UN as it never abides by its commitments to the world body’s laws on Palestinian rights, Larudee argues.
The UN charter and the Geneva Conventions forbid “any seizures of land,” says Larudee, stressing that all Israeli settlers are “illegal” in the occupied West Bank.
Alderman, for his part, believes the so-called two-state solution is not born yet, adding, “There is already one Palestinian state on the mandate territory we call it Jordan.”
He also defends the Zionists attempt to usurp the Palestinian lands, saying “the appropriation is in strict conformity with Ottoman law.”
