Dershowitz: Israel Is Entitled by Law to Act Against Iran

(Ynet News) Nir Cohen - Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told Ynet on Monday that Israel is entitled by law to act against Iran. "Iran had declared war on Israel officially. Israel is entitled to respond disproportionately in any possible way." "Israel is also free to act because, in the early 1990s, Iran attacked its embassy, not some consulate building, not some building with military people, but the actual embassy building in Buenos Aires, killing some 23 people, so Iran cannot say that Israel acted improperly by attacking the building that was being used to house the generals from Iran." "Ultimately the world will recognize that it was a disastrous failure to allow the Iranian regime to continue." He likened it to the failure of Britain and France to act against the Nazi regime in the 1930s ahead of WWII. "The failed attack by Iran on Israel provides a complete legal and moral justification for regime change and, unless regime change occurs, there will be no peace in the Middle East." If regime change were to occur, that would mean the end of Hamas, the end of Hizbullah, and the end of the Houthis, he said.
