@Mylovanov While it’s sad & reprehensible what’s going on in Ukraine, the root cause of most current conflicts is the partisan (some times bordering on pure malevolence) morality of western leaders/countries. See, what happened in your watch and you did nothing!

@Po4wKdKhuP1FRuG Isn’t making someone wait for 30 years in solitary confinement to be eventually executed fall in the category of cruelty or torture?

How can anyone still support this Israeli govt when psychopathic monsters like Ben Gvir are ministers in it, advocating genocide in Lebanon? Disgusting.

@RnaudBertrand Ahead of the mid-terms and faced w/ growing unpopularity of the war, it’s natural that DJT, who lives solely on political hunch, would look for a closure, no matter how fleeting or temporary that may be.

There has been distressing news about the war in #Ukraine, which keeps expanding. There are many innocent victims, rescue workers killed, and churches and cultural heritage sites devastated by flames. I am close to all those who mourn their loved ones, to the wounded, and to those who continue to serve life with courage amid violence. Let us #PrayTogether that this war may end. Let us ask the Lord to open paths of dialogue, extinguish hatred, and make a just and lasting #Peace possible.

Indian authorities are forcibly expelling ethnic Bengali residents, mostly Muslims from West Bengal state, to Bangladesh without basic due process. Dozens of families are stranded at the “zero line” between the two countries when Bangladesh blocks them. https://t.co/XAQf2ZErr7

@JohnCleese People from Persia, both Zoroastrians and Muslims, came to India over many generations. They held important positions in the courts of Indian rulers. In fact the Persian language (Farsi) was the court language here for 600 years until replaced in 1835!

The illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is one of the most well-established positions in international law, resting on four distinct pillars:

📜 GENEVA CONVENTIONS
Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) explicitly prohibits an occupying power from transferring parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. Israel ratified the Convention in 1951. The International Committee of the Red Cross, the authoritative interpreter of humanitarian law, has consistently held that this provision applies directly to the settlements.

🌐 UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS
The Security Council has repeatedly affirmed settlement illegality — including in binding resolutions the US did not veto:
• Res. 446 (1979): settlements have "no legal validity"
• Res. 465 (1980): calls on Israel to dismantle existing settlements
• Res. 2334 (2016): passed 14-0 (US abstained), explicitly states settlements constitute "a flagrant violation of international law" and have "no legal validity"

⚖️ ICJ RULINGS
• Advisory Opinion on the Wall (2004): the Court found settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, had been established in breach of international law, and that the wall built to protect them compounded that illegality
• Advisory Opinion on the Occupied Palestinian Territory (2024): the Court went further, ruling that Israel's continued presence in the OPT — including the settlement enterprise — is itself unlawful, and called on all states not to recognise or assist it

🏛️ UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Countless UNGA resolutions have reaffirmed settlement illegality, including Res. 77/247 (2023), which requested the landmark 2024 ICJ opinion.

No serious legal scholar disputes this consensus. The settlements are illegal. The only remaining question is whether the international community will act on it.

@narendramodi Are you parting ways with your friend Israel on this?… Indian foreign policy may have suffered due to too many sharp turns like this in near past.
