The U.S.–Israeli war has caused massive environmental devastation, adding to the long history of American wars with toxic legacies. interc.pt/4h1WMcZ
While we live in an age where threats to civilian infrastructure are espoused and ordered by prime ministers and presidents alike, the illegality of these attacks — and their grave ecological consequences — cannot be ignored.

“If the plans that are currently being elaborated for Gaza go forward, genocide may come to be seen by some nations as the legitimate and lucrative extension of politics by other means.“ nytimes.com/2026/07/21/opini… via @NYTOpinion
This week I joined Orli Matlow on “War is Stupid: An Anti-War Podcast About War” to talk about how the Israeli and U.S. militaries utilize AI in warfare open.spotify.com/episode/4pF…

Trump is worried about the International Criminal Court because he could be charged for the summary execution of drug suspects, aiding and abetting Israel's genocide, or obstructing justice by imposing sanctions on ICC officials. trib.al/ZY5s4lI

Contrary to Marco Rubio’s insinuation, the International Criminal Court is not claiming jurisdiction over conduct in the United States. Rubio is dressing up his quest for impunity for American war crimes abroad under the label of national sovereignty, which ignores the sovereign right of other nations to invoke the ICC for crimes committed on their territory. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

I don't think I can name an artist who painted his dogs with as much profound reverance as David Hockney did.
“There is no algorithm that can make war morally acceptable,” the Pope writes. “AI does not remove the intrinsic inhumanity of conflict; indeed, it can only bring about conflict more quickly and render it more impersonal, lowering the threshold for resorting to violence”
War often harms those it’s fought to protect far more than it serves them. The latest US-Israeli war on Iran is no exception.

“The Pentagon’s top watchdog says cuts to civilian harm mitigation and response efforts have been so severe under War Secretary Pete Hegseth that the United States cannot adequately protect civilians in conflict zones.”
“This is a crisis of the Trump Administration’s own making: They slashed the staffing and funding for civilian harm mitigation, and now they can’t adequately follow the law,” @SaraJacobsCA told @theintercept

From toxic smoke and oil spills to rising emissions, poisoned soil and damaged ecosystems, war can reshape the environment long after the fighting stops. wired.com/story/war-on-iran-…
“A lived-in landscape has been turned into what a former Israeli general, Giora Eiland, described as a place ‘where no human being can exist’.”
Absolute must read. You don’t just need gas chambers to commit genocide. Level the homes, poison the water, erase the hospitals—make human survival impossible.
“All they will find is sand” isn’t a metaphor, it’s a strategic plan to erase a civilisation
