One of the disturbing trends relating to the delegitimization of Israel is that ideas and messages questioning Israel’s very legitimacy are gaining traction within the liberal public in Western countries. This public comprises the academic, political, economic, and cultural elites in most Western countries, and therefore any influences on this population have significant repercussions in all of these spheres. The key question is why and how this process is taking place. When the narrative presented against Israel is examined in depth, it becomes clear that one of the most significant tools employed in the negative labeling of Israel is the use of legal arguments to frame the discussion. Israel is thus portrayed as a constant lawbreaker that systematically violates international law and thus undermines global peace and order.
