“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...
The Law Society
Gazette

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.

Although Israel is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions, they claim it does not apply to the West Bank, or Gaza. I wonder why?. I think we all know why, from their criminal behaviour in those territories. No protection for the Palestinians, from that piece of international law.

I do not dispute for one second that many, many Jews support Israel and that antizionist Jews like myself are a minority. It’s very depressing. But almost 40% of Jews under 45 say Israel is committing genocide — that’s a higher rate than the U.S. population at large.

And this one, from 1975:
The Rape of Mr. Smith 
In the following situation, a holdup victim is asked questions by a lawyer. 
“Mr. Smith, you were held up at gunpoint on the corner of First and Main?” 
“Yes” 
“Did you struggle with the robber?” 
“No.” 
“Why not?” 
“He was armed.” 
“Then you made a conscious decision to comply with his demands rather than resist?” 
“Yes.” 
“Did you scream? Cry out?” 
“No, I was afraid.” 
“I see. Have you ever been held up before?” 
“No.” 
“Have you ever GIVEN money away?” 
“Yes, of course.” 
“And you did so willingly?” 
“What are you getting at?” 
“Well, let’s put it like this, Mr. Smith. You’ve given money away in the past. In fact, you have quite a reputation for 
philanthropy. How can we be sure that you weren’t CONTRIVING to have your money taken from you by force?” 
“Listen, if I wanted –“ 
“Never mind. What time did this holdup take place, Mr. Smith?” 
“About 11:00 P.M..” 
“You were out on the street at 11:00 P.M.? Doing what?” 
“Just walking.” 
“Just walking? You know that it’s dangerous being out on the street that late at night. Weren’t you aware that 
you could have been held up?” 
“I hadn’t thought about it.” 
“What were you wearing at the time, Mr. Smith?” 
“Let’s see … a suit. Yes, a suit.” 
“An EXPENSIVE suit?” 
“Well – yes. I’m a successful lawyer, you know.” 
“In other words, Mr. Smith, you were walking around the streets late at night in a suit that practically advertised 
the fact that you might be good target for some easy money, isn’t that so? I mean, if we didn’t know better, Mr. 
Smith, we might even think that you were ASKING for this to happen, mightn’t we?”
