Israel has the right to defend itself. This seems to be a clear and logical determination. Obama and a host of quite important people subscribe to this argument and base their policy on it. The assumption is that Israels self which Israel is defending is a simple matter. If we analyze this self we should ask if Israel is exercising its the right to defend itself by imposing a siege and blockade on almost two million Palestinian. Is it defending itself in the Palestinian occupied territories? Are these an integral part of Israels itself. Is Israel defending itself in East Jerusalem where it has imposed its sovereign rule? If we examine the facts we will come to the conclusion that Israel is not defending itself in the present conflict but defending its empire, its annexations and its strategic assets, not itself.
