US President Barack Obama (R) and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
The failures suffered by the United States and the Israeli regime are the main reason behind a new round of sanctions against the Islamic Republic, a senior Iranian lawmaker says.
“The US and Israel are trying to make up for their failures by imposing new sanctions [on Tehran] as they see Iran is responsible for their fiasco in Gaza,” Chairman of Iran’s Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Sunday.
The remarks came two days after Washington imposed sanctions against over 25 Iranian individuals and companies, including shipping firms, oil companies, airlines and six banks.
Boroujerdi noted that the measures taken by the United States are in “flagrant violation” of an agreement signed between the Islamic Republic and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany in November last year, known as the Geneva agreement.
Iran should voice its objection to the bans in its upcoming negotiations with the six countries, the parliamentarian added.
The next round of talks between Iran and the six countries aimed at resolving the standoff over Tehran’s civilian nuclear work will be held in New York in September.
“The usurping Zionist regime failed to achieve its objectives after 51 days of brutal attacks on the defenseless people of Gaza,” Boroujerdi said, adding, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, Tel Aviv’s defeat at the hands of the Palestinian resistance movement was a result of Tehran’s support for the Palestinians.
The Israeli regime launched a military campaign against the Gaza Strip in early July and later expanded its operation with a ground invasion. More than 2,130 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli onslaught on the coastal enclave. Some 11,000 others were also wounded.

THE LEGAL RIGHT OF RESISTANCE
Is Resisting Genocide a Human Right?
Right to Resist
81 Notre Dame Law Review1275 (2006). Conducting an in-depth study of the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, and also discussing other genocides, this article details the inadequacy of many of the international community’s response to genocides, such as “targeted sanctions” or international peacekeeping forces. Examining international legal authorities such as the Genocide Convention, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Court of Justice, the article demonstrates that groups which are being subjected to genocide have a legal right of self-defense. International treaties, Security Council arms embargoes, or national gun control laws cannot lawfully be enforced in a manner which prevents self-defense resistance to a genocide in progress, because under international law, the prohibition against any form of complicity in genocide takes legal precedence over lesser laws.

GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINE
Genocide in Photos
Since 1937 (Pre)Israel terrorism commits ongoing massacres in Palestine. Violent genocide, but the least known, silent genocide causing excess death by deliberate racist policies of deprivation. The same deprivation which according the Israeli narrative have cost 1/6 of Jewish Holocaust victims (1 of 6 million). The cost in human lives by avoidable mortality for the sake of the creation of Israel according to research (by Dr. Gideon Polya) in Palestine and neighboring countries is 24 million lives.
