These are empty words. For the last 15 months, the Israelis have been trying to push us out, and before that, for 17 years, they imposed a blockade [since Hamas seized control of the territory in 2007]. They tried to push us out and didn\u2019t succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-question-itw\" id=\"h-what-does-it-mean-when-trump-warned-that-all-hell-is-going-to-break-out-if-the-hostages-are-not-released-before-saturday-noon\">What does it mean when Trump warned that \u201call hell is going to break out\u201d if the hostages are not released before Saturday noon?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What hell can be worse than what we went through? People don\u2019t realize that we have been going through a genocide for the last 15 months: we endured massive killing, massive destruction, massive starvation, massive displacement, without any hospitals, any schools, any gas, any electricity, any streets, and despite all that, no one moved out. 85% of Gazans are refugees, traumatized by the 1948 Nakba [\u201cthe catastrophe\u201d, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forcibly displaced], and never ever will they move again. They are the stones of the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-question-itw\" id=\"h-from-your-perspective-it-s-a-genocidal-war\">From your perspective, it\u2019s a genocidal war?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely. Look at three statements of Israeli officials on October 10: the President of Israel, Isaac Herzog, said: \u201cEverybody in Gaza is complicit\u201d. Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said \u201cno food, no water, no electricity and no fuel\u201d and \u201cGazans are human animals and we will get them all\u201d. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahou\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> said, \u201cGazans should leave Gaza\u201d. Their strategy was to push people to the south of Gaza and then move them to Sinai, Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-question-itw\" id=\"h-what-do-you-expect-from-israeli-society\">What do you expect from Israeli society?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Israel is a sick society like German society was during World War Two. No one talks about Gazans. They only talk about hostages. They don\u2019t care about genocide. They have their brothers, husbands, sons going to Gaza in the army. They know what is happening. They don\u2019t care. I have some Israeli friends. They are heartbroken like us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Israelis will try to make a new Nakba, but Palestinians won\u2019t be good victims. This degree of deep injustice is bringing evil.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-question-itw\" id=\"h-what-about-the-israeli-hostages\">What about the Israeli hostages?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have 22,000 people who are missing. Are they dead? We don\u2019t know. I want to see the end of the war, the end of the massive killing, the end of massive destruction, the end of displacement and starvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-question-itw\" id=\"h-how-do-you-look-legally-at-the-hamas-october-7-attack\">How do you look legally at the Hamas October 7 attack?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>[Sourani marks a silence, then replies]&nbsp;There is here something obscene happening. You can starve and you can kill the Palestinians. You can do whatever you want with them. Everyone speaks about the last three Israelis hostages released and how pale and unhealthy they were, while the Gazans are starving by official policy practice. This is racist. You cannot be selective when it comes to human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-question-itw\" id=\"h-what-do-you-expect-from-the-international-criminal-court-icc\">What do you expect from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/tribunals\/icc\">International Criminal Court (ICC)<\/a>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We will continue to do our best like we have from day one. We want the rule of law. If not, we will have the law of the jungle. I hope that Gaza won\u2019t be the graveyard of international law. I\u2019m aware of the pressure, the political and security threats against the prosecutor and the judges, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/140459-can-the-icc-survive-the-u-s-sanctions-part-1.html\">executive orders [from the US president]&nbsp;against the ICC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-question-itw\" id=\"h-what-do-you-expect-from-europe\">What do you expect from Europe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the name of freedom, Europe stood up for Ukraine against Russia\u2019s aggression. It stood up for Ukraine\u2019s right of resistance. Europe sent arms and supported Ukraine\u2019s army and its economy. It imposed seven waves of sanctions. It asked the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to intervene. In our case, Europe didn\u2019t do anything. How can Europe be so selective and politicize international law? We are not slaves. Israel is stripping us of our dignity and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-question-itw\" id=\"h-israeli-prime-minister-benjamin-netanyahu-has-warned-of-intense-fighting-to-resume-if-hostages-are-not-released-in-the-coming-days-do-you-fear-a-new-nakba\">Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned of \u201cintense fighting\u201d to resume if hostages are not released in the coming days. Do you fear a new Nakba?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There won\u2019t be another Nakba. They can delete us all, but there won\u2019t be a new Nakba. This will not happen. The Israelis will try to make a new Nakba, but Palestinians won\u2019t be good victims. They are pushing us to have nothing to lose. This degree of deep injustice is bringing evil. They will pay for it. Despite all this, I\u2019m optimistic, because I\u2019m on the right side of history. I have a just and fair cause. We are the stones of the valley. We have been there forever and we will continue to be there forever. And tomorrow will be ours. The whole history leads to that conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"articleLink articleLink--editorRecommanded articleLink--textInImage articleLink--textTop\" style=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"articleLinkSurTitle\">Recommended reading<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<a class=\"articleLinkImageLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/141890-a-just-war-does-not-justify-all-means.html\"><div class=\"articleLinkImageContainer \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/Israel_family-member-victim-7-october-Hamas_@Gil-Cohen-Magen-AFP-540x360.jpg\" class=\"articleLinkImage backgroundImageTag w-100 wp-post-image\" alt=\"International law as seen from Israel.
