Israel: Above the law? | Featured Documentary 

Using food as a bait should be a war crime

There is no international law it's just jok

As a Canadian I am deeply troubled that my government is openly supporting a government that has proven to hold little regard for human rights or international law

Shame on America and Europe 😡

It's been nothing but a 75 yr crime spree.

It's so ironic that she said you will never see Israel target kids on the beach... That already happened.

My ancestors were brought to the United States in chains as slaves. Although I grew up in America, I still felt and have experienced the hate towards my people. Though I knew we were hated by America, I just did not know that the U.S. was the bad guy. I am just recently learning that after all these years of wars and bloodshed, it had nothing to do with democracy. I never thought I would think or say this, but America has been judged for all of her sins and refusing to repent. I pray that Russia, China, and North Korea show kindness to black Americans when they come to the U.S. because we have already been through a lot as a people.

9:13 "You'll never see the IDF target civilians" They just did with the World Central Kitchen

Justifying the killing of children, when they are close to terrorists, is the most evil statement you can make.

In my fury, sadness, and general feeling of helplessness, I forgot to add in my comment. This is great journalism. Thank you

I'm still confused why the ICJ even exists. They passed things about Israel but Israel dosen't have to comply so what was the point? Are any of their rulings binding? 🤔

I really like this channel! It airs a sence of authenticity thats missing from the mainstream

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - "Never again."

Palestinians have the right to live and it is our all responsibility to ensure this. I'm German and I'm profoundly saddened and enfuriated that we are complicit in this genocide. Thanks for this great report and all my respect to the wonderful people like the UN Rapporteur Albanese who risk all their status and credibility in fighting for the lives of Palestinians (and Israelis who also die in this "war")

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere

Continue addressing this atrocities Al Jazeera,We count on you.

Thank you Aljazeera English for airing this powerful and very sad program by filmmaker Zainab Walji. As an Australian far from the nightmare that is the genocide perpetrated day after day by a calculating Israel I find myself enraged at not only their willful intent of extermination but to see the sycophantic support for such murder by so many supposed sophisticated and human leaders of the Western World is almost as alarming as the death toll inflicted on innocent people who have no way of protecting themselves from the calculated, indiscriminate murderous intent of the Israeli government and many of its citizens. We, from all the world over are witness to the dismantling of international law and order norms and the moral protection of human rights by governments the world over who continue to condone mass murder. The moral bankruptcy of our leaders convinces me we have a big problem about our own future. With the blatant example above as abundant proof, who can we trust to ensure fair play and freedom for those who have a right to share it as we have. This is a parlous moment in history and for the path we are taking, a path away from civilised compassion and protection of the innocent to that of obvious condonement of mass murder of Palestinians by Israel....and what will we do about it.

The mental gymnastics that israeli lawyer is doing deserve an olympic gold medal

The world does not see this???

The answer is yes & Nothing lasts forever

this is the only news media that has showed some real news about the genocide. i hope Al jazeera keep doing real journalism like this . please know how much we and the oppressed appreciate this. i know Al jazeera already faced a lot of trouble for it’s journalism but the journalism did not stop . God is watching. thank you for your work 🙏🏻

Westrn Media never want to share this 😢

Such a cold sobering look at the realities of war when spoken through legalese.

That lawyer claiming Israel would never attack a group of children on the beach meanwhile in 2014 they dropped an air strike on a group of children on the beach...

For as long as laws are not implemented the whole world is a very dangerous place FOR ALL OF US

i was not able to see the video since the very begining, seeing the father carriying his death children. i cannot feel more pain than that.

Ya Allah, swt, plz send your Warrior Angels and Men of power to Help the Palestinian people.. plz stop their sufferings and retaliate for them the worst thing they could not forget.. Ameen ya Rabbil Alameen...

The violation of international law is terrible, but worse is the fact that it isn't implemented.

Remember Aaron Bushnell. The international law is double standard!

Horrible to see the loss of innocent lives. The world needs to intervene

Hypocrisy of un and eu is evident for human rights..

I cannot find any words to express how I feel. It is true to say that International law is the law of the victors. Was in 1948 and remains true today

It’s sad that the world is not seeing the injustice and human rights violations.

It is not those who can inflict the most but those who can endure the most who will conquer.’ - Terence MacSwiney ❤ love from heireann Introduction

If there is no one to enforce law/s, the crime/s continues. Just like if a tree falls in the forrest, if there's no one there to hear it fall. Does it still make a sound?

This documentary is just amazing. Thanks Aljazeera for your dedication and staying true to your values

BIDEN and Netanyahu should be in ICC. SIMPLE.

Great documentary

Salute to Al Jazeera for doing osm work to show the real face of everyone involved in it

Every time I hear that term, “Final Solution” I get chills all over my body and it makes me physically ill. We know who used that term and didn’t the world say, “Never Again” for any human beings? 🇺🇸

Thank you for the coverage, great journalism

Just watching this makes me see Red. It fills me with rage.

It's simple until both sides love their children more than they hate each other this will never stop

No they are not above international law..they ignore it and are protected by other countries directly and indirectly

No to Racist Israel 🗣️

Palestinians October 7: 🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊 Palestinians Few Months: 💀💀 They're not celebrating in the streets now, are they?

😢😢😢No Words 😢😢😢

“ Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the presence of justice.”. -WilliamFaulkner

The fact of the matter is that no one has the BALLS to stand up for what is RIGHT.

Muslim countries should to support and help Palestinians very emotionally

These crimes must not go unpunished

If this has no consequence for any israeli politician, then International law is a joke. And it seems that is what it is.

Witnessing this is just heartbreaking.💔😭

We all fall short from the GLORY of God but there's lawless and there's evil.

These are civilians without an army, shame on the world for letting this genocide takes place,

You should be asking if the US is also above international law..

Is seems that UN resolutions are not legally binding, unless approved by the US, and even some of those that were approved by the US in the past are no longer seen as binding. Hypocrisy at its best.

How does anyone go to war and be like you’re breaking the ‘’rules’’

This started 75 years ago and not on "October 7th" 🙄

Never heard anything in the news about Aaron Bushnell. Not once. Speaks volumes.

all countries need to come out and stand for innocent people of Palestine.

Absolutely

Why does no one says anything about the horrors of Hamas, killing Israelites and also Palestinian citizens if they dont support them. There is enough evedance of Hamas using Palestine people for human shields

You remember what they did to Iraq and Afghanistan and Syria and Lybia entire Muslims world in general

Me too! Never in my life I thought I would see a genocide like this. 😢

If you are watching this from a safe place. Remember it's not a safe world, you are just lucky to be living in a safe nation.

Yes, next question.

Yoav Gallant "no electriciy, no fuel, no water, no food, close them". Makes me cry

Laws which we have failed to enforce do not exist. The US allowed the resolution to pass only because regional tensions have been getting so high thanks to the people who've already been trying to uphold law. It was an appeasement intended to lower those tensions, and clearly not something the US wants enforced. That's just a guess anyway.

There has been something I been holding back with these wars happening... Each I hear about they talk about kids and the women, mom etc.. but almost rarely to never do they ever bring up men?? Men as myself we are just as important as the next person next to me... we all equal.. I just like to know how come news or who ever never also mention about men looking men, men suffering etc.... What cause we men and some of us look terrifying, or like some call us misogynist you know yeah us men we tuff we look and feel and are strong. But we also suffer within us, the side we rarely or never or ever show. We suffer in silence. Us men don't talk to other men of what we go through cuz they might see us weak, or make fun of us or whatever and what else, women always talk about they problems to who ever mostly among other women, they friend, sister, mom the enemy so called friends etc etc.. If we talked about what we feel or go thru to our women they'll see us differently. They say they won't but subconsciously they will. They are wired to like and want and feel a strong man inside and out someone who can always push no what is in front

Thanks Aljajeera for showing these images to the world people.

Thank you for the documentary, from France

The world cries out for justice but silence is the stern reply ..

The truth!!! Thanks

Title should be is their any international law ?

International law means nothing if countries can just choose not to recognize it. Individuals can't decide which laws apply to them ...

I believe its result of October 7 hamas incident which people's of gaza facing now.. Honestly Palestinian shouldn't support hamas for peace and safe lives

Thank you Al Jazeera for this very disturbing but so important documentary. It confirms this saying by the Swedish EU Parliamentarian Abir Al Sahlani: *"We said that we won't fail, but we're failing again. Human rights have a skin color and the darker you are the less human rights you have"* - such true 😡 and painful words 😢. Each and every Western government is equally guilty of genocide incl. my Swiss Government. I'm so ashamed.

All I’ll say is that this is sad. We’re all humans with families that we want to go home to. Absolutely heartbreaking 😢

Albanese is an absolute pillar of decency in a morally bankrupt world. God bless you mam.

Lawlessness at it's peak

A law without enforcement is not a law at all. It means it might as well not exist. Human rights don’t exist any more.

There's no rule of law. Only power

What is Final Solution?

No they are from another planet who don't know Geneva Convention laws.

Israhell has no right to be in falastin.

Thanks Al Jazeera for keeping advocating for them ❤

Final solution? I wonder where I've heard that before?

The question should be directed at the west and the US,UK and Germany in particular

Why are our leaders are silence , are they really spineless

Yes it is! Israel is above and beyond any law including international laws 😢

And no update on Jordan complaining that Hamas intercepts their aid meant for Gazans??? The truth will out - always.

"Even if Israël stops the genocide, they will walk away without being held accountable and people will applaud Netanyahu for not killing more innocent people" - Bassem Youssef

85 years old lady came out of Church in Gaza, got lift to go home and dropped off, idf snipper shot her in the leg and she was ran over by idf tank?

This is just beyond words. Please dear Humans we have to Protest! Not only like but Protest! They are losing everything! We have to act now more than EVER! You are not alone never forget!

Not all American citizens support the American government on the war of injustice of Israel against the Palestinians

It’s so important to get such a documentation to the world! Thank you for this work!

That woman actually said 'until we reach a final solution '

25:54 the only thing I can understand is when someone is needing help and looking to you for help so I figured as long as we kept building until we could provide for everyone everywhere we wouldn't have any strife

MIGHT WILL ALWAYS REMAIN RIGHT. IN TIMES OF WAR, THE LAW FALLS SILENT. GET USED TO IT!
