Around the world, the laws of war are being broken and the system for upholding them is not working. Yet that is no excuse for what Israel is doing in Gaza

Israel’s war no longer has a strategy and fighting on is no longer just. If it is to remain a liberal democracy, it must hold itself to account for the crimes committed in Gaza

France's Court of Cassation has issued two decisions that deny functional immunity for international crimes but reaffirm personal immunity. The decision will no doubt disappoint many in the human-rights community, but as a matter of positive law it is spot on. www.courdecassation.fr/en/toutes-le...

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reiterated EU calls for Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, as health workers warned Palestinians were facing “forced starvation.”
Images from Gaza are ‘unbearable,’ von der Leyen says
Over 100 people have starved to death due to lack of aid, local authorities say.

Important work and coverage here by ACLU. Please support them. If US citizens are forcibly removed from their country of citizenship though it is something worse than a deportation.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

“President Trump is bound by the laws of this nation, and those laws do not permit him to use wartime powers when the United States is not at war and has not been invaded to remove individuals from the country with no process at all.”

Sounds right to me!

Trump has no concept of the nation or of its security. This is not an insult to his intelligence. These are just not cognitive categories for him. He can’t care about national security because it’s not a thing in his world.
Trump has grown frustrated with the negative headlines the Signal security breach has caused, @jonlemire.bsky.social reports. Yet the president and his allies are focused on attacking the media rather than showing concern for the national-security blunder: theatln.tc/2vzda50K
Trump Goes After the Messenger
The president is privately upset with the sloppiness of his advisers. Publicly, he’s focused on attacking the press.
