It's disgusting enough for a Yale politics lecturer to be advancing that "argument." It's next-level disgusting when it's advanced by a former president of Israel's Supreme Court.
He made this "argument" while publicly stating his unqualified support for his country's military operation in Gaza and endorsing his state's war crimes.
He *then* decided 2 months later not to recuse himself from an ICJ panel charged with adjudicating on the very same military operation.
