318: Debunking the lies about Israel | Natasha Hausdorff
Nov 19, 2024
Natasha Hausdorff, a barrister and director at UK Lawyers for Israel, tackles the rampant anti-Israel narratives often labeled as 'genocide' and 'apartheid.' She critiques the misuse of international law and the historical context of 'blood libel' accusations against Jews. Hausdorff argues that media misrepresentation and Hamas's role distort the truth about Israel's actions. She also discusses the erosion of trust in international law due to political agendas and calls for genuine engagement with the complex realities on the ground.
