Hypocritical “American” Jewish Supremacists Defend Zionist Seizure of Judea and Samaria

Two leading “American” Jewish Supremacist law professors—one acclaimed in the US for ‘conflict resolution’ skills, have come out in favor of the expansion of Israel into all of the existing occupied West bank territories and the inevitable expulsion of all Palestinians from those regions.

Prof. Jeremy A. Rabkin of George Mason University and Prof. Avi Bell of the University of San Diego have both claimed that Israel has a “legal claim” to the Palestinian land.

Speaking during a conference sponsored by the Bar-Ilan University’s Faculty of Law on “International Law and Israel,” the two “American” professors sad that “Israel has a very good case regarding its sovereignty in Judea and Samaria and should not accept its classification as ‘occupier.’”

According to articles in the official Israeli National News, the recently concluded conference is the “first in a series of annual conferences aimed at exploring the growing gap between international law as it is often applied to Israel vs. how it is understood in the rest of the world.”

The conference examined “the various claims of Arab groups, including the Palestinian Authority, versus the rights of Israel to the land liberated [sic] in the 1967 Six Day War.”

Judea and Samaria is the official Israeli term corresponding to the territory usually referred to as the West Bank, which has never been part of Israel and , but excluding East Jerusalem.

The United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 (II) Future Government of Palestine, adopted in 1947, referred to “Samaria and Judea” as part of a proposed Arab state to be carved out of the Mandate of Palestine.

After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Jordan in 1949, renamed the area on the west bank under its control following the cessation of hostilities the “West Bank” to distinguish it from the rest of the kingdom, which falls on the Jordan River’s east bank.

The area was captured from Jordan by Israel in the 1967Six-Day War and has remained under Zionist occupation ever since.

It is this area which is the focus of the illegal Israel settlement program, designed to expand Israel’s borders and ethnically cleanse Palestine of the last of the Palestinians.

Professor Rabkin teaches constitutional law and international law and in 2001 was awarded the title of “Cornell’s Most Influential Teacher.”

He is also a board member of the United States Institute of Peace—a supposedly “non-partisan, independent, federal institution that works to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict around the world.” It was established by an act of U.S. Congress that was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1984.

Rabkin’s claims that Israel has a legal right to the West Bank are, of course, in direct contradiction to the supposed aims of this taxpayer-funded organization on whose board he sits.

Professor Bell is another open single-loyalty Zionist Supremacist who works for the University of San Diego School of Law and the Israeli Bar-Ilan University.
