Debunked: Israel's right to self-defence

MEMO's political analyst Nasim Ahmed debunks the claim by Israel and its allies that it has a right to self-defence against Palestinians, using statements made by lawyers in the International Court of Justice and earlier rulings of the ICJ itself.

UPDATE: Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005 not 2007 as mentioned in the video.
