what's good for the goose has to be good for the gander. we can't survive as a species if we continue to make room for several sets of rules. what israel has done and is doing is certainly against all rules of laws but they have influence so things like the following become an issue;


Ireland’s parliament has voted by 78 votes to 45 to ban the importation into Ireland of goods produced by Israeli squatter firms in the militarily Occupied Palestinian West Bank.
According to the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention on occupied territories, the occupying authority is forbidden to settle its own population in the occupied territory or to change the lifeways of the occupied population, until the war ends. (See Appendix, below).
Since the 1967 war ended in 1967, Israel’s continued occupation of the Palestinians (who did not participate in the 1967 war, as Moshe Dayan admitted), is by now highly illegal and it should withdraw. In any case, its transfer of hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens to the Palestinian-owned West Bank is a major breach of international law, going beyond a mere war crime in its massive and repetitive nature, and constituting a crime against humanity.
The bill originally had been introduced in the senate by Independent Senator and pop singer Frances Black. She was pleased at its second stage passage, saying that it was in accord with international law and the law on human rights...........https://www.juancole.com/2019/01/ireland-occupied-palestinian.html
