Avraham (Russell) Shalev is an Israeli-Canadian international lawyer and researcher known for his clear-sighted analysis of the intersection between law, morality, and geopolitics. His work examines how legal discourse, international institutions, and ideology shape public understanding of Israel and the Jewish people.

With a background in international law and human rights, Shalev has become a leading voice in confronting the misuse of legal terminology in conflicts — from distorted claims of genocide to the politicization of human rights. He has written extensively in major international publications including The Jerusalem Post, Israel Hayom, The European Conservative, Spiked, National Post, and Fathom Journal.
