Is there any country willing to condemn the current U.S. strikes against Iran as illegal under international law? Or is it complicated when it is Middle Eastern civilians getting bombed?

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

Spot the difference. This is how media provokes outrage for one action and manufactures consent for another.

France warns commercial firms risk complicity in international law violations by operating within illegal Israeli settlements
——
The French Foreign Ministry has issued updated legal guidance warning national companies and citizens that maintaining commercial ties with illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories exposes them to severe legal, economic, and reputational liabilities. Paris reiterated that all settlement expansions within the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Syrian Golan Heights constitute a flagrant violation of international law.

Citing United Nations Security Council resolutions and the 2024 advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, the ministry underscored that these colonial outposts remain an absolute barrier to regional self-determination.

The official directive cautions that any financial transactions, corporate investments, procurement contracts, or tourism activities directly or indirectly benefiting the settlements risk entangling corporations in deep-seated disputes over stolen land, water, and natural resources.

Furthermore, the ministry explicitly warned French enterprises that compliance failures could land them on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights blacklist, which cataloged international entities actively sustaining the occupation's economic infrastructure.

Importers were also sternly reminded of their absolute legal obligations to enforce strict labeling requirements that distinguish products manufactured within the occupied territories from those originating within Israel's recognized borders. This defensive maneuver by Paris highlights growing European anxiety over systemic corporate complicity in Israel's ongoing expansionism and human rights violations across Palestine.

By explicitly detailing the threat of international blacklisting and property disputes, the updated guidance signals that the legal risks of backing the settlement enterprise are rapidly outstripping political cover.

Opening Pope Leo XIV’s closed-door conference of the world’s cardinals on war, the Vatican’s doctrinal chief accused the European Union of applying international law selectively, sanctioning some military invasions while treating others differently.

There are many shocking provisions in the scandalous “agreement” signed by Lebanon and the Israeli regime, but none more shocking than point 13 whereby Lebanon purports to give up its international legal claims against the Israeli occupation. But a news flash for the US-Israel Axis: Article 47 of the 4th Geneva Convention explicitly states that protected persons in occupied territories cannot be deprived of the benefits of the Convention“by any agreement concluded between the authorities of the occupied territories and the Occupying Power." The rights and protections guaranteed under IHL
cannot legally be signed away or contractually waived, not by Lebanese officials, not by the occupying Israeli regime, and not by its complicit US ally. Point 13 is null and void as a matter of law, and the other provisions of this absurd surrender deal will eventually follow it into the trash bin of history.

Israel just carried out what experts say is one of the largest single warhead explosions in modern military history, destroying a village in south Lebanon under the rubric of demolishing tunnels. The massive blast registered on seismic monitors and was heard in Israel..

Lebanese MP and international law professor Halima el Kaakour to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam:

"How can you approve the clause stating that the parties must ‘refrain from taking any hostile or adversarial measures in international political or legal forums?’ Does that mean giving up the right to pursue legal action over war crimes and crimes against humanity? You are denying justice to the thousands of victims of war crimes, while in the very same text speaking of ‘peace?’! Don't you realize that there can be no peace without justice?"

On ne peut pas considérer l’#IA comme moralement neutre. En réalité, tout outil technique implique des choix et des priorités : ce qu’il mesure, ce qu’il ignore, ce qu’il optimise et la manière dont il classe les personnes et les situations. Le discernement éthique ne peut se limiter à se demander si nous utilisons un certain système à des fins bonnes ou mauvaises, mais doit également s’interroger sur la manière dont il est conçu et sur la conception de la personne et de la société qui est inscrite dans les données et les modèles qui le guident. #MagnificaHumanitas

In a new report, a UN commission of inquiry credibly sets out Israel’s responsibility for atrocities against Palestinian children and even identifies military units apparently responsible.

The US and other governments should immediately suspend weapons transfers to Israel.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Israel is pursuing “a deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children.”

The UN’s highest investigative body concluded today that an aspect of Israel’s genocide involves “deliberately shooting children in vital organs using precision weapons”

And arresting, torturing, and subjecting Palestinian children to sexual violence in detention.

Over 11,000 buildings completely leveled, thousands more damaged by Israel in south Lebanon
——
A joint assessment by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Lebanon’s National Council for Scientific Research (CNRS) reveals that the recent Israeli aggression has caused approximately $1.38 billion in direct structural damage to southern Lebanon.

By analyzing and comparing satellite tracking data from October 2025 to late April, researchers found that Israeli attacks completely leveled 11,095 buildings—directly impacting nearly 18,000 housing units.

​The devastation extends beyond total destruction, with thousands of other structures caught in the crossfire. The report details that an additional 2,242 buildings suffered partial damage, while 9,311 sustained minor structural impacts.
