Israel Striking Doha Was 100% Legal

 The world is even further in a tither over what to do about Israel.  First off Israel has the nerve to defend itself against the murder and kidnapping of 1500 Israelis who were just minding their own business on October 7, 2023.  And when they went into Gaza to respond to Hamas and get their hostages back, the world told them, "You've killed too many people in Gaza!  Now quit it!"

I wonder if the world screamed at America and the allied forces of WWII when we all teamed up and bombed Dresden, Germany and turned the entire city into a firebomb?

I wonder if the world screamed at America when we dropped atomic bombs on Japan and killed 100,000 plus civilians?

Nope!  Why?  Because we were attempting to win a war against an enemy that attacked us at Pearl Harbor and killed 3000 Americans!  

So what is different about the world hating Israel and Jews?

The latest anger pointed at Israel was when Israel attempted to kill some Hamas leader who were not in Gaza but had gone to Qatar for some meetings.  "You illegally attacked a sovereign nation when you bombed Doha!"

But did they break any laws?  NOPE!

Here are just a few of the absurd reactions from world leaders in the wake of Israel’s stunning strike on Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar, last week:

• A “blatant violation of international law.”
• A “violation of sovereignty.”
• A “flagrant breach of international law.”

France, Spain, the UK, the Qataris themselves, and others have joined in the hysterics.

Yet all these sloganizing leaders have one thing in common: an astonishing and total ignorance of actual, international law.

In future articles, I will dive into the far reaching implications and consequences of this stunning operation, but for now, here’s a quick review of international law.

In future articles, I will dive into the far reaching implications and consequences of this stunning operation, but for now, here’s a quick review of international law.

• Qatar is not technically at war with Israel, therefore the country could be considered a “neutral power” under the Hague Convention V and thus immune from attack.
• However, under articles 2, 3 and 4 of Hague Convention V, a “neutral power” may not allow anyone on its territory to direct combat operations, run command and control centers, or even to communicate electronically with combatants.
• For years, the Hamas leadership has been carrying out exactly those prohibited acts from within Qatar — with sustained and integral Qatari support. In other words, Qatar has been violating international law for years — before, during, and after the October 7 massacre.
• Hamas is the internationally-designated terror organization that carried out the October 7 massacre of Israelis in 2023, and continues holding Israeli hostages in Gaza to this day. Though the Hamas leadership in Qatar claims the moniker “political wing,” it is consistently involved in directing combat operations against Israel.
• Qatar cannot claim to be a “neutral power” under the Hague Conventions, because it provides sustained and integral support for Hamas — which aids Hamas combat operations against Israel — from Qatari soil.
• Furthermore, Israel has an inviolate right to self defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and Hamas may not undermine that right simply by directing its combat operations from inside a third-party country.

In summary: Qatar has been providing sustained and integral support for Hamas combat operations — from Qatari soil — in violation of The Hague conventions.

These acts give Israel the inviolate right, under both the Hague Conventions and the UN Charter’s Article 51, to defend itself and its citizens by targeting Hamas leadership inside Qatar.
