International Law and Disorder

09/20/24 • 62 min

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and conducted the largest pogrom against Jews since the Holocaust. The next day, Hezbollah began to rain missiles from southern Lebanon on Israel’s northern communities. Officials at the UN, other transnational organizations, various non-governmental organizations, and media platforms — AKA the “international community” — has responded to this Iran-backed terrorism mostly by aiding and abetting the terrorists and attacking Israel with a campaign we’ve come to call “lawfare.”

Host Cliff May is joined by two leading international law practitioners and experts: Natasha Hausdorff of UK Lawyers for Israel and FDD senior fellow Orde Kittrie.

Iran Update

The theocrats in Tehran have surrounded Israel with proxies — a “ring of fire,” as it’s being called. The regime’s nuclear weapons development program has made progress, too. And so has its development of the missiles that could deliver these nuclear weapons to targets anywhere in the world.

Plus: the regime has made common cause with Communist China, neo-imperialist Russia, and the dynastic dictatorship in North Korea: an “axis of aggressors,” as it’s being called.

For an update on Iran, its rulers, its proxies, its subjects, its victims, host Cliff May is joined by his FDD colleagues Mark Dubowitz and Reuel Marc Gerecht.

The most imminently endangered democratic societies: Ukraine and Israel.
Host Cliff May discusses with Bernard Henri-Lévy and Oleksandra Matviichuk.
