Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

A horrific new report from Al Jazeera about Israel’s use of thermal and thermobaric weapons provided by the United States reveals how munitions burning at 3,500C have left no trace of nearly 3,000 Palestinians. The supply chain is evidence of complicity in genocide and war crimes.

As the US sends an armada to Iran and threatens to strike, diplomacy and dialogue are imperative. War is not a nuclear non-proliferation strategy and the imperialist designs of Israel and the United States must not be supported. 📃: reachingcriticalwill.org/news/latest-...

From the United States' new Board of War Criminals to the Canadian Prime Minister’s speech at Davos, imperial states are jostling to control the international system.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

The last nuclear arms control agreement between Russia and the United States expired today. While the treaty placed important limits on deployed nuclear weapons, it didn’t prevent an arms race, nor did it lead to disarmament. We need abolition now. 📃: reachingcriticalwill.org/news/latest-...

This is not okay. None of this is okay.

The Canadian government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS after the US regime murdered Renee Good.

They know.

Those armoured vehicles you see driving around Minneapolis? They are manufactured by Roshel in Canada.
