Right to Resistance

International law recognizes the right of people living under occupation to resist their occupiers. This includes the Palestinian right to resist occupation. However, in practice, when Palestinians exercise this right, they often face severe vengeance. The IOF's various responses have included indiscriminate bombing, collective punishment, and ethnic cleansing, and in the case of Gaza from the end of 2023 to today, a genocide, creating a harsh reality that contradicts the principles of international law.
