You're mistaking the ones who hold the key to the cage with those that have been empowered to care for said animal. If the animal has been exploited by its "caregivers" and trained to fight, the one who holds the key isn't exactly incentivized to let the dog out, is he?

The right of conquest is the right of a conqueror to territory taken by force of arms. It was traditionally a principle of international law which has in modern times gradually given way until its proscription after the Second World War when the crime of war of aggression was first codified in the Nuremberg Principles and then finally, in 1974, as a United Nations resolution 3314.

Brzezisnki argued that a peace deal would largely resolve the current issues in Gaza, but that previous peace efforts had been "scuttled by Mr. Netanyahu. That's the fact of the matter. How can you have peace if at the same time someone is incorporating the territory that is at issue, is building on it, is indicating that most of the territory will be part of Israel and that the Palestinians can be a second-class minority and essentially a militant Israeli state?"

"Most Israelis don't support that," Brzezinski said. "Most Israelis are in favor of peace. The majority of the American-Jewish community is in favor of peace. But the ideologues, hard-liners, the ones that promulgate confrontation are in charge, and that's what's so hard and so disgustingly destructive for both Israelis and the Palestinians."
