No state has a ‘right’ to exist – least of all an apartheid, genocidal state like Israel (Jonathan Cook Blog, 2026-10-12)

>> Israel has no right to exist. That’s the position in international law. It has nothing to do with hatred of Israel or antisemitism.
>> In fact, no state – none – has a “right” to exist, including states busy extolling their democratic credentials.
>> Peoples have a right to exist. When that right is abused, it invariably involves very serious violations of international law – often through crimes such as apartheid, ethnic cleansing or genocide.
>> States, by contrast, don’t have a “right” to exist. They simply do exist as a matter of fact – until they suddenly don’t…
>> This is so obvious it should not even need stating…

The #UN #ICC keeps an investigation file into: "war crimes allegedly committed in #Palestine by Israeli personnel or Palestinian armed groups since 13 June 2014."
Triestino Mariniello is a member of the Legal Team representing Gaza victims before the ICC. Here is his #opinion: https://opiniojuris.org/2024/01/03/the-icc-prosecutors-double-standards-in-the-time-of-an-unfolding-genocide/ @palestine@a.gup.pe

I keep pointing out to the people who demand I agree that Israel has a right to exist, that no state has a right to exist under international law. Here, Jonathan Cook explains this clearly, with particular reference to Israel and Palestine.

Of course.
#US imposes #sanctions on #ICC hours after former judge wins #NobelPeacePrize
The #Trump admin imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court Friday, hours after one of its former judges won the Nobel Peace Prize, putting the US on a diplomatic collision course with European allies.
The ICC's deputy prosecutor, Nazhat Shameem Khan, condemned the sanctions & said they would not halt the tribunal's work.

🗨️ I must emphasize again that, while parts of the population have been evacuated, many residents in southern #lebanon refuse to leave their property out of conviction; property that includes barns for livestock! It goes without saying that these Israeli terrorist-style demolitions violate not only the alleged #US agreement with the LEB government but also #internationallaw, #humanrights, #animalrights while destroying the environment; #EU states share the blame for failing to put a stop to this

Dear Western business men and lobbyists,
erhmmmm sorry, I meant : politicians.
Please look at this photo via AmnestyInternational.
People living in tents getting bombed.
Do you enjoy your profits from trade and killing ?
How can you, complicit, sleep sound every night ?
Politicians are paid by tax payer money to be there for the people. The people are not here for the politicians to do whatever they want.
Regards, a concerned citizen.
And using this watermelon sign in solidarity with the Palestinian people worldwide, before that sign will be forbidden (by politicians).

The occupation administration has begun allocating land plots in the temporarily occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region to participants in the so-called “special military operation”. This is yet another attempt to consolidate control over the occupied territory and encourage the resettlement of people loyal to the occupation authorities. The allocation of land and the alteration of the demographic composition of occupied territory by the occupying power violate the norms of #InternationalLaw
