I call upon every country in the world to make war on Israel immediately and until such time as Israel has submitted permanently and unconditionally to the government of Palestine everywhere from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Israel is the last major Western colony remaining in Africa or the Middle East. Israel has committed genocide, extermination, and forced displacement against the native population of Palestine since her inception in 1948.
Israel has done so at greatly accelerated pace since late 2023, during which time she has killed in excess of 300,000 people, about 150,000 of whom were children.
The norm against Western colonization established by wars of decolonization in the 20th century is in peril. It will survive only so long as states are willing to go to war to defend it. The world must act now. Given the stakes, each nation must prepare to strike alone.
I stand in solidarity with the Arab people, their resistance forces, their allies throughout the region, the global intifada, and, especially, my fellow law scholars in Palestine, both teachers and students, thousands of whom have been slaughtered by Israel.
