Balancing Limited Choices to Protect Israeli Lives
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Dean of the Hebrew University Law School Yuval Shany told a recent StandWithUs conference in Jerusalem for 60 foreign law students that when deciding whether and where to criticize Israel, foreign observers should try to understand that most issues involved balancing limited choices and the clash of human rights of different individuals. He said that whenever a party advised Israel not to employ a particular defense because of the impact it would have on Palestinian or other foreign civilians, they needed to understand that there was a real-life cost to the rights of Israeli civilians.
