While Mintz agreed with Amit’s ruling, he dissented on the notion that Israel has any legal obligation to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, asserting that the matter falls under the discretion of the government and security authorities, and the court should not intervene.
Basically the majority opinion is that Israel is complying with international law…which I won’t defend, but it’s quite the opposite from what the video is claiming.
I know everyone’s gonna respond that Israel doesn’t actually care about international law, but the video is saying they’re not even pretending and they are, in fact, pretending. No - stop - reality does matter and you shouldn’t encourage people who spread misinformation even if they agree with you. Because then they become Matt Taibbi.
The headline is misleading in that this is not the court’s overall opinion, but a concurring opinion that would’ve gone farther:
