No, I mean, there shouldn&#8217;t be domination. But particularly, let me say it has a very specific meaning in the occupied Palestinian territory where Israel dominates without any legal justification or basis. The occupation is illegal.<\/p>\n<p>00:00:27:21 &#8211; 00:00:56:28<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unlawful because it operates against and outside of everything that is permitted under international law, because it&#8217;s been a vehicle to colonize the land, it serves no military necessity and it&#8217;s also apartheid by default, because having civilian law imposed on I mean, applied to the the settlers who shouldn&#8217;t be there in the first place, which doesn&#8217;t mean that a two state solution would translate into the uprooting of them.<\/p>\n<p>00:00:57:01 &#8211; 00:01:19:28<\/p>\n<p>No no, I&#8217;m not calling for that, but I&#8217;m just saying that the occupation must end. The exploitation of Palestinian land and resources must end. And then it&#8217;s up to the Palestinians and Israelis to live, to see how to live together in whatever forms of state they can envisage. It&#8217;s not up to us. But for me, it&#8217;s really about basic application of international law.<\/p>\n<p>00:01:20:01 &#8211; 00:01:43:28<\/p>\n<p>(Unknown) You&#8217;ve applied it to that particular context, but you don&#8217;t think the word domination has a wider connotation outside that context. <\/p>\n<p>(Francesca Albanese) what do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>(Unknown) I\u2019m talking about Israeli Jewish domination.<\/p>\n<p>(Francesca Albanese) Meaning, are you asking me in Israel? <\/p>\n<p> (Unknown) Well, just the phrase jumped out at me at the end of your speech. And I&#8217;m just wondering if the trope of domination<\/p>\n<p> (Francesca Albanese) No it\u2019s not a trope, it&#8217;s really real. So it seems you don\u2019t understand what I&#8217;m saying. There is an apartheid regime. No, I&#8217;m serious. There is an apartheid regime, Its domination. This is not a trope This is international law. I encourage you to read the apartheid convention because it talks about racial domination and this is what I&#8217;m talking about, it might be a trope into your sorry, into the way you interpret it, but I&#8217;m using domination in a strictly legal sense.<\/p>\n<p>00:02:11:13 &#8211; 00:02:16:00<\/p>\n<p>(Unknown) Thank you very much. <\/p>\n<p> (Francesca Albanese) You\u2019re welcome<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian territories, said that Israel CANNOT claim the right of \u2018self-defence\u2019 under international law because Gaza is a territory which it occupies.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,35,37,33],"tags":[],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-174","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-daizy-gedeon","8":"category-israel-hamas-war","9":"category-israel-hamas-war-live-updates","10":"category-middle-east-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daizygedeon.com\/news-blogs-and-cultures\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
