Iran wird verurteilt, weil es sich wehrt

Norman Finkelstein bei Mario Nawfal (maschinell transkribiert, es gilt das gesprochene Wort):

You go to the security council and know what you got? It was breathtaking. I watched the security council meetings.  I watched them. They were attacking Iran. The countries who are attacking Iran.  Iran? Here, I completely agreed with the Russian representative who said, referring to the British and the French, he said, „It’s as if we’re in a parallel universe.“ Iran was just a subject of a brazen, flagrant, egregious breach of the UN charter, and Iran was being condemned in the UN with the two exceptions of China and Russia.  Iran was being condemned. Now, Iran at this point had no obligations on international law. None.  I want to emphasize that, zero. They had no obligations any longer. There was no state of law any longer.  The system of international law had collapsed.

Sowie:

[David Humes, the British philosopher] inquiry concerning the principles of morals. And at one point, he says the following, I know it sounds highfutin, but it struck me when I read it.  He says, were it the case that a civilized nation engaged with barbarians, who observed no rules even of war, and a civilized nation here is Iran. The barbarians are the U.S. and Israel, where a civilized nation engaged with barbarians, who observed no rules, even of war, the former, the civilized nation. Now listen to the words, must also suspend their observances of law, where they no longer, meaning the laws, no longer serve to any purpose.  Why would you continue to obey a law that’s not saving you? It’s not helping you. Why would you continue to obey that law?  It makes no sense. Were they, meaning laws no longer serve to any purpose, and must render every action or encounter as bloody and pernicious as possible to the first aggressives. Do you hear that?  The state must render every action as bloody and pernicious, meaning harmful, as possible to the first aggressives, meaning, Iran needs to teach the U.S. and Israel these barbarian nations a lesson. Now, under those circumstances, is Hezbollah, morally, I’m not speaking now poor politically, I’m not speaking prudentially. Prudentially means to be prudent, to be wise.  I’m not speaking politically or prudentially. I’m speaking morally. Are they morally obliged to sit idly by as these barbarians launch one after another unprovoked, murderous destructive war of aggression against Iran.
