And it is as plain as day.

The regime insists that the International Humanitarian Laws do not apply in the West Bank.

Yet the same regime also insists that the IDF rules supreme in the West Bank as The Ultimate Authority.

Q: Where does that authority come from?
A: It comes from the International Humaitarian Laws of Occupation.

Q: But doesn`t the regime also argue that those laws don`t apply here?
A: Don`t you worry yourself about that....

The IDF commander DOES rule supreme in the West Bank, and that ability to rule must derive from *some* *law* otherwise he is simply a feudal warlord, and his every order is illegal.

Benvenisti is correct: Israel is the land where being schizoid has been raised to an art-form.

Indeed, it appears to be a prerequisite for higher office: be it military, political, or legal.
