The conference provided a platform for multifaceted criticism of Israel’s policy and its international support.
The event featured an analysis of international law, media representation, geopolitical responses, and general double standards in the definition of terrorism. The speaker unanimously argued that Israel’s actions against Palestine, Lebanon and Iran are a form of state-sponsored terrorism, often protected from accountability by powerful Western interests.
The meeting began with a speech by Seyed Mohammad Javad Hasheminehad, Executive Director of the Habilia Association. In his opening remarks, he honored the memories of martyr nuclear scientists, innocent women and children who were victims of recent attacks by the Zionist regime, and the memories of martyrs in all countries of assassination.
Subsequently, Dr. Seyed Hossain Musabifer, assistant professor of international law at Feldousi University in Mashhad, provided an accurate legal analysis of the actions of the Zionist regime against Gaza and Iran. Citing the principles of international law, he described these actions as clear examples of blatant violations of fundamental principles such as proportionality and distinction in the use of military force.
Second, Giulio Chinnapi, an Italian geopolitical analyst and author of the World Politics blog, analyzed the status of Western and Arab governments and international institutions on Zionist regime invasions against Iran, Gaza and Lebanon. He assessed the lack of accountability to the Zionist regime as attributed to the geopolitical alliance and strategic interests of major powers.
Additionally, as the next speaker, Ursula Asta, a well-known Argentine journalist and member of Radiographa’s editorial board, considered the role of mainstream Western media. She says these media have become psychological tools of war by systematically justifying the actions of Zionist regimes and treating their victims inhumanely. Asta then offered a strategy to counter this one-sided story and provide a more balanced picture to global public opinion.
Finally, Muhammad Murtaza, Pakistani geopolitical analyst and senior researcher at the Pak Institute for Peace Studies, addressed the issue of Western double standards in labeling terrorism. He raised the basic question: Why are similar or more serious actions by the Zionist regime justified under the framework of “self-defense” when violent actions of non-state groups were labeled as terrorism? Murtaza cited the role of Zionist lobby in shaping Western foreign policy as an important factor in creating this double standard.
The Habilian Association said the purpose of hosting the conference was to create international solidarity and form a more cohesive intellectual aspect between experts and researchers to counter the state terrorism of the Zionist regime and its supporters. It has been announced that the full video and speech text from the meeting will be released soon.
