Headline should read "Zionist, Jewish lawyers warn..." Misleading to claim that's a legal opinion, not a political one.

Sure, Zionist "lawyers" and there stooges, but not nessesarily jewish, more likely to be oportunists and synocphants from any creed, which is of course adding to the liabilitys rather than offering any real counter and only playing to a gutter press that has already decended into an inarticulate ranting howl.

Agree, my comment was more based on going through the list, and the description of the signatories in other articles:
"Among those who signed the letter were seven KCs, including Lord Pannick, one of the UK’s most respected lawyers. Pannick represented the government in its Supreme Court battle over the Rwanda relocation scheme.
The peers, including some of parliament’s most prominent Jewish voices, wrote to Hermer: “We call on you to advise him [Starmer] that this would be contrary to international law."

This, devoid of context, sounds reasonable. Of course, the international court charging the leader of Israel as a war criminal and having a warrant out for his arrest due to his actions against Palestine and its people may speak a different story with regard to international law. Israel caused the government of Palestine to be unstable by enabling Hamas over and over again, and its borders are not clearly defined due to Israel trying to steal its territory. I think an exception could be warranted.

"We can't recognize Joe as a legitimate farmer. He just can't make his land produce." (No mention made that I've repeatedly salted Joe's land in clear violation of any number of conventions.)
