The Israeli lawyer repeated at the International Court of Justice the strategy that Sergio Moro always uses in Brazil. Punishers assume that they are the only ones in a position to judge their own actions. And they never accept that a general and abstract norm contains prohibitions that do not admit exceptions for their own benefit. The Israeli lawyer has no commitment to legal technique or justice. Just as he fiercely attacked South Africa without bothering to reject the evidence of genocide and the intention to commit it that was presented to the Court, he will certainly disqualify a decision unfavorable to Israel by saying that the country he defends is a victim of an international conspiracy. Punishers are cold and calculating killers. Unable to use the same measure for themselves and their victims, they place themselves above everything and everyone as if they were deities. Israel's lawyer did not defend a country accused of committing crimes, he defended the divinity of the Zionists who cannot be judged as if it were a nation like the others. And he didn't even blush.
