It's well worth the time it takes to watch. Natasha is a wealth of information.
I never knew about the international law recognizing borders at the moment independence is declared. But I looked it up. It's called "Uti possidetis juris" (Latin for "as [you] possess under law"). It's definitely relevant for areas coming out of decolonization, which are supposed to inherit the borders that were set by the administrative power -- and like Natasha, US legal expert Eugene Kontorovich made a good case for applying it to British-Mandate Israel.
I also looked up the arguments against this. Apparently the line of thinking is that the "Mandate for a Jewish Homeland" didn't mean that this homeland should actually go to the JEWS. Because in 1948 the Jews were a minority there (thanks to British efforts to keep Jews out of Mandatory Palestine). Then the Jews made the mistake of accepting the Partition Plan when they declared independence, so even though the Arabs rejected it, Israel should be held to it. Like Oslo.
Anyway, I can answer one question that was left open - how many 'settlers' are living in Judea and Samaria. Answer: around half a million -- plus another 200,000 in Jerusalem (they are also demoted to 'settlers' by the int'l definition).
Of course if you ask the Palestinians, there are 9 million 'settlers' on their land, the border of which goes "from the [Jordan] River to the [Med] Sea".
Natasha has to be one of the most eloquent and informative speakers about Israel. I appreciate she is a barrister but so was Keir Starmer, yet you wouldn’t want to listen to him for this length of time. Also Winston, I thought the questions you asked and the POV you put forward were exactly what was needed. Well done to you both.
The tragedy of the Middle East should of been solved decades ago. Israel should of made a genuine peace with Arafat but was funding Hamas at the time. Google it.
Look how that turned out. We should have nothing to do with BOTH sides. All we gain from the Zio NeoCon project is waves and waves of refugees.
Unfortunately America party polotics is financially dependent on Zionist money. Trump recently took $100 million for Mirian Adelson.
Natasha is brilliant. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱❤️❤️❤️🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

Do you even know what Zionism means?
