Indict the IRGC: The Legal Blueprint to Take Down Iran’s Drone Commander

Brigadier General Sayyid Hossein Mousavi engineered a ruthless “saturation strategy” designed to weaponize cluster munitions against Middle Eastern civilians. He thought he was untouchable. He was wrong. In this episode of Two Lawyers, Three Opinions, Uri Morad and Monique Beadle expose the exact legal trap being set by the Jerusalem Institute of Justice. By leveraging the sovereign airspace of Cyprus, we have found the definitive territorial anchor to drag the IRGC command structure directly to the Hague. The world is shrinking for Iran’s top commanders. Here is the blueprint to ensure they face justice. * * Sign the Petition: Follow the link below to sign our petition to indict the IRGC and General Mousavi: Click here to sign the petition.

Does the Word “Genocide” Still Mean Anything?

Is the International Court of Justice preparing to break the very laws it swore to uphold? In this episode of Two Lawyers, Three Opinions, hosts Monique Beadle and Uri Morad cut through the political noise and media talking points to examine the actual international law surrounding the crime of genocide. With the Netherlands and Iceland joining the ICJ case against Israel, Monique and Uri unpack the strict legal burden of dolus specialis (specific intent) and why high civilian casualties in urban warfare do not automatically meet the criteria established by the 1948 Genocide Convention. From the historical origins of Raphael Lemkin’s coined term to precedent-setting cases covering Rwanda, Srebrenica, and Myanmar, this episode explores how the ICJ’s structural politicization threatens to redefine the “crime of all crimes.”  Episode Highlights: * The Origins of a Word: How Raphael Lemkin invented the term “genocide” following the Holocaust and the push for the 1948 UN Convention. * Understanding Dolus Specialis: Why the “crime of crimes” requires the highest burden of proof in international law—specific intent—and how the media frequently gets this wrong. * Israel’s Counter-Memorial: A look inside Israel’s defense brief, including the millions of tons of aid, roof-knocking, and SMS warnings that legally contradict genocidal intent. * Precedential Cases: How the ICJ ruled in the past regarding Serbia, Rwanda, and the ongoing case of Gambia v. Myanmar. * A Politicized Court: Examining the controversial leadership and structural biases of the ICJ’s judicial panel. * October 7th & The Legal Standard: Applying the strict definition of the Genocide Convention to the actions and documented intent of Hamas.

Preemptive Warfare: a Legal Defense

Monique Beadle and Uri Morad, lawyers with the Jerusalem Institute of Justice, discuss a JIJ position paper defending Israel and America’s preemptive strikes amid the ongoing war between the US, Israel, and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

From Bloomfield to Buenos Aires: Hezbollah’s Campaign of Terror

Last week’s Michigan truck-bomb attempt against a Jewish preschool becomes the starting point for a wider, urgent conversation about how terror is explained, enabled, and repeated. With guest Alan Dosoretz, who grew up in Argentina, this episode explores how the Michigan bombing attack reflected organized Hezbollah proxy tactics, alongside the emotional and political aftermath of the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires, which mirrored and foreshadowed the Michigan attack. Dosoretz recounts how Jewish life in Argentina changed under permanent security, how Iran and Hezbollah were tied to the attack, and how investigations were undermined by alleged coverups, a controversial 2013 memorandum with Iran, and the sudden and suspicious death of prosecutor Alberto Nisman.  Timestamps 03:16 – The Crime: The 1994 AMIA Bombing  07:34 – Iran’s Hezbollah Network in Argentina 09:48 – The Coverup 13:12 – A Note of Hope   The post From Bloomfield to Buenos Aires: Hezbollah’s Campaign of Terror [https://jij.org/episode-15-hezbollahs-campaign-of-terror/] appeared first on Jerusalem Institute of Justice [https://jij.org].
