Human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith argues that international law offers concrete tools for ending the Israel-Palestine conflict, delivered at Gresham College's Barnard's Inn Hall in London. He opens with his own Jewish family history, tracing relatives through English persecution and the Holocaust, before turning to the legal substance: why the blockade of Gaza by the IDF has gone largely unchallenged since 2009, what grounds exist for human rights cases against Benjamin Netanyahu's government, and how Israel's political shift from Oslo-era compromise to hard-right governance changed the legal landscape. He weighs antisemitism and Islophobia as parallel, under-examined prejudices, criticizes both Netanyahu's tactics and Western financial backing of regional actors, and calls the UK's proscription of Palestine Action a mistake. The lecture closes by proposing an Irish-style EU protectorate model as a legal precedent for a Palestine-Israel settlement, framing law as a practical route to peace rather than an abstract ideal.
