Question

Hello,
If we set aside for a moment the whole complex system of Israel’s relations with the international community, such as antisemitism and so on, and focus only on the legal and moral aspect, do you think Israel is obligated to uphold the laws of war agreed upon by the nations of the world, in relation to states and organizations that, by treaty or in their declared aspirations, are committed to the destruction of Israel and the Jews?
In my opinion, international laws of war exist in order to place reasonable limits on the suffering caused by wars that break out in good faith (if one can put it that way in such a context) between states that have a conflict and are unable to resolve it peacefully. A state under threat of annihilation—and as far as I have checked, the only state under such a threat is Israel, and the only people under such a threat is the Jewish people—cannot, morally and even practically, abide by those laws. Morally and legally, the nations of the world and the international community cannot demand this of us, after they have done nothing real against the states and organizations threatening us.
What do you think?
