Op-edsBy Dr. Cynthia Day WallaceJune 19, 20207 Comments

In response to the Open Letter in Opinio Juris about the plans of the Israeli Government to “annex” certain parts of the “West Bank”, the author points at the misrepresentation of the planned act as ‘annexation’; you cannot annex territory where you already possess sovereignty.

European Court’s Interpretation of International Law in Psagot Labelling Case Seriously Flawed

BlogsBy Andrew TuckerNovember 13, 2019Leave a comment

BDS and anti-Semitism

BDS, anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism

BlogsBy Andrew TuckerOctober 9, 2019Leave a comment

The Israeli government has called the BDS movement the second most serious existential threat to Israel. Second only to the threats issued by Iran to destroy Israel. Israel is not overreacting. The BDS movement is both dangerous and misleading. As Canadian PM Trudeau recently remarked, it is also anti-Semitic.
