American human rights activist: different levers should be used to stop the crimes of the Zionists

“Stanley Cohen”, an American human rights lawyer and activist, in a conversation with Press TV, pointing out that the Western mainstream media has a great tendency and desire to condemn Hamas due to the current developments in the Gaza war, said: For years, these media channels have created images and claims about the Hamas movement and the Palestinian resistance to the international public opinion. Press TV continued: This movement has actually tried and is trying to make the international public opinion accept and believe their narratives about this group. In this context, many Western analysts agree with the media and their governments that Hamas is the main responsible for the ongoing bloodshed in the Gaza Strip due to the October 7 operation.

This analyst added: In this regard, it must be said that this narrative is severely distorted. Hamas’ action against the Israeli regime on October 7 was a reaction to decades of Zionist oppression and genocide against the Palestinian people. Therefore, I do not hold Hamas responsible for the current war in Gaza. We must examine the equation more fundamentally. Hamas is a legitimate resistance movement that has defined its duty to defend and support the Palestinian nation.

Stanley Cohen further emphasized: I As a lawyer in the American society, I have set the main path and goal of my life on the basis of the struggle for justice and freedom, and in this way, supporting the people and resistance of Palestine is an important agenda in my life. In this regard, I try to be consistent.

He further mentioned that his recent action in choosing a photo of two of The senior leaders of the Hamas movement have created many controversies in the United States for their account profiles on the X social network (formerly Twitter). However, he said that he does not pay attention to this issue and appreciates these leaders as freedom fighters.

Stanley Cohen continues He showed: From any perspective we look at the actions and movements of the Zionist regime since its establishment, we see that the basic principles of international law are in conflict with this regime and its activities. The reason for this is also clear; The foundation of the Israeli regime is illegitimate. The Zionist regime, knowing its illegitimate nature, from the very beginning of its formation has not seen and does not see any other way but to rely on the lever of force and military force in front of it, and this is exactly the reason why I see that the Zionists rely only on force and weapons for their survival. They have.

He pointed to the Gaza war and the terrible crimes of the Zionists in this war and said: There are various levers to stop the crimes of the Zionists in the form of the said war. have. The International Criminal Court, the United Nations, the International Court of Justice and of course the various governments of the world can join hands and boycott the officials of the Israeli regime and their presence in various countries.

Cohen added: At the same time, the property and assets of the Zionists in all parts of the world can be seized and arms embargoes can be imposed against the Israeli regime. However, in the current situation, there is not a very clear perspective for the realization of such measures.

The world is significantly active in favor of the Palestinian nation and against the Zionists. An issue that has become a serious pressure lever against the Israeli regime. In the meantime, it is important to know that Netanyahu and the Israeli regime have received unfortunate green lights from the Western powers due to their crimes against the people of Gaza.

However, even taking into account the West’s support for Netanyahu and the Israeli regime, the situation is not good for them at all. Now we are witnessing operations against the Israeli regime from Syria, Lebanon and other regions. In my opinion, Netanyahu sees the Gaza war as an event for self-preservation. An equation that, unfortunately, has been accompanied by the West.

At the end, he pointed out: The people and the Palestinian resistance should know that there are many people in Al-Aqsa. The parts of the world, especially among the young generations, support them and their struggles against the Israeli regime and are quite clear and decisive in this regard.
