If You Want To Quote Law, Here It Is.
I’m not going to apologize for why this article is necessary. People have concerns, and rightly so. We had Nuremberg for a reason.
It separated the civilized from the monsters.
This is why we have Laws, and this is why we debate them and reason together.
What we shouldn’t do though, is project our own bias and try to distort reality to suit our own agenda and narrative.
Unfortunately there is a lot of that going on today and I’ve also been guilty of it. It’s hard to be bipartisan in a very polarized climate. But we have to try.
So here it is, the real outrage is not international law itself, but how cynically it is weaponized, loudly against Israel’s self-defense, yet mute on the Iranian regime that engineered wars.
Iran’s IRGC Quds Force has transferred over $1 billion to Hezbollah in 2025 alone (U.S. Treasury Department, November 2025), alongside $70–100 million annually to Hamas and unprecedented missile, drone, and training transfers to the Houthis (UN Panel of Experts).
It directs cross-border attacks, embeds operatives, and openly calls for Israel’s destruction. This is not “resistance.”
It is a sustained, state-orchestrated armed campaign.
UN Charter Article 2(4) prohibits the threat or use of force against any state’s territorial integrity or political independence.
Iran violates it daily through proxies. UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX), the 1974 Definition of Aggression, widely accepted as customary international law, declares in Article 3(g) that aggression includes
“the sending by or on behalf of a State of armed bands, groups, irregulars or mercenaries, which carry out acts of armed force against another State of such gravity as to amount to an act of aggression, or its substantial involvement therein.”
The ICJ in Nicaragua (1986, para. 195) confirmed that a state’s “substantial involvement” in directing such groups triggers the right of self-defense under Article 51.
The ILC Articles on State Responsibility (2001), Article 8, attributes to the directing state the conduct of groups acting “on the instructions of, or under the direction or control of” that state.
Article 51 enshrines every state’s “inherent right” of individual or collective self-defense “if an armed attack occurs” …direct or indirect,
“until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.”
No nation must or should relentlessly absorb endless proxy rockets, tunnels, October 7 massacres, and regional encirclement while the sponsor hides behind “sovereignty.”
Yet the same voices screaming “restraint” and “disproportionality” at Israel fall utterly silent on Tehran.
They brand Israeli strikes on IRGC command nodes or proxy arsenals “illegal escalation,” while Iran’s orchestration is dismissed as irrelevant background noise.
This is not law. This is lawfare!!!!!!
A grotesque perversion that turns the UN Charter into a suicide pact for Israel and the US, and a free pass for its enemies.
Selective silence is not neutrality. It is active complicity in the collapse of international law itself.
Israel is not the villain for refusing to die quietly.
It is exercising the exact right the Charter was written to protect.
Those hypocrites shielding the aggressor (and you know who you are) while demanding Israel’s restraint have exposed their true agenda..
The law applies to Israel alone, and eventually it applies to no one at all. Be warned.
