The Biggest Lie You're Still Being Told | Natasha Hausdorff

Has international law become a political weapon?International law expert and barrister Natasha Hausdorff joins Ariel Whitman for a wide-ranging conversation on the International Criminal Court (ICC), the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations, Hamas propaganda, Benjamin Netanyahu, Iran, Hezbollah, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and why she believes international law is increasingly being weaponized against Israel. In this interview, Natasha explains why she believes the ICC prosecutor failed to present key evidence, how anonymous testimony and Hamas-controlled sources have influenced international institutions, and why she argues that politics—not law—is driving many of the world's biggest legal cases against Israel. She also discusses Britain's immigration debate, the Church of England's stance on Israel, Lebanon's changing relationship with Israel, and what these developments mean for the future of the West.
