Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani sees a link between the violence of the coloniser and the slaughter of Jews and Slavs by the Nazis. The racial theories of Houston Stewart Chamberlain and others who claimed the Aryan race was superior meant that Jews and Slavs, who were both regarded as not Aryan, could be placed beyond the pale of civilisation and were thus candidates for the “laws of nature”, not of war.
Good Jew, Bad Jew: new book explores why the west views brutality against Ukrainians and Palestinians differently

“Under the law of self-defense, even a legitimate aim must be set aside if it is outweighed by the harmful effects of the force necessary to achieve it.
Even if Israel’s right of self-defense is engaged, its current exercise of that right is disproportionate.
Israel must either accept an immediate ceasefire, or drastically narrow its war aims and dramatically change its tactics.”

It's long been clear that the blockade Russia proclaimed on the Black Sea was anything but because they can't enforce it. This isn't just a practical matter but a legal one. Dom Nicholls has put together a brief refresher on what the international law of war has to say about Russian pretentions on the Black Sea. https://youtu.be/mnrfeZRAkSQ
