"International Law" is the funniest concept in the world, because a "law" only has the strength of its enforcement, and who's going to actually make Israel follow a rule?

Isn't that what sanctions are for?

You would think so. But this is Israel we’re talking about. They don’t get sanctioned. If this was Iran, or Russia, then sure. But Israel? They were only defending themselves. Or whatever excuse is used to justify anything they do against international law.
