Original Note:
The ICJ found Israel's wall around Gaza illegal 20 years ago. Hamas was elected while under occupation & resisted a coup. The right of self-defense can't justify acquiring territory by force; such justification is lost when the occupying Power is a vehicle for annexation. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/07/experts-hail-icj-declaration-illegality-israels-presence-occupied#:~:text=The%20Court%20added%20that%20Israel's,the%20return%20of%20displaced%20people. https://www.icj-cij.org/node/204176 https://jacobin.com/2023/11/hamas-israel-palestine-gaza-history-decolonization-violence
