No, Israel is not hamstrung to only using a "law enforcement" paradigm in Jenin under international law

Call the police!Last week, the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk condemned the Jenin operation, saying that some of the methods and weapons used “are more generally associated with the conduct of hostilities in armed conflict, rather than law enforcement."“The use of airstrikes is inconsistent with rules applicable to the conduct of law enforcement...

Two can play the Neturei Karta game

Anti-Zionists like the extremist, fringe Neturei Karta sect because they share the ir desire to destroy Israel and the embrace terrorists. But the real reason they love them is because they use them as evidence that they are not antisemitic - after all, they like some Jews!It's a stupid game, but it is one that both sides can play.From Times of Israel:Police on Thursday said...

During the entire Shireen Abu Akleh snow job by the media, there was one larger question that has barely been asked: Where are the Palestinian police?We see lots of videos of terrorists in full military gear and with assault weapons walking the streets of Jenin. But Jenin is in Area A, which is supposed to be under full Palestinian security control. No one is supposed...

Scandal: Anti-Israel NGOs hide the truth for their own profit

An eye-opening article from "This Week in Palestine:" Ala’adin from Al-Bireh used to greet new foreign arrivals to Palestine with a cheerful, “So you’re here to save my country too?” He was fond of mocking good intentions.
