I’m not signing Australian lawyers’ open letter concerning Gaza

By David Singer - posted Tuesday, 14 November 2023

... the Australian Government to work toward ending Israel's illegal permanent occupation of Palestine, as per the September 2022 findings of the Permanent United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Israel Palestine Conflict.

Laughable: Those findings were made without any consideration of Article 6 of the Mandate for Palestine and article 80 of the United Nations Charter which legally authorised the Jewish People to reconstitute the Jewish National Home in that area of Palestine west of the Jordan River.

Have any of these 1012 lawyers even heard of these pillars of international law that still apply today?

This legal practitioner with 63 years of experience will certainly not be signing this misleading and deceptive letter.
