Finkelstein’s conclusion concerning the events of October the 7th was that ‘you don’t justify what happened but you don’t condemn them either’. And if resisting occupation of one’s land by another state is legal in International law, then Hamas acted legally when organising an attack on the Israeli forces. This does not excuse or justify breaches of the law by particular soldiers or their leaders, but accurate reporting of Gazans’ incarcerated condition would allow Australians to better understand the tragic events we are witnessing.
