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.
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.

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. It’s clear we need a real alternative rooted in human rights, justice, and demilitarisation: reachingcriticalwill.org/news/latest-...

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-...

Over 7 in 10 people globally wouldn’t support their country using AI-enabled lethal autonomy – even if their governments said that it was in their national security.

AI is increasingly being used to deport migrants, replace workers, predict “crime,” dox activists, and target weapons. Meanwhile, its energy consumption continues to exacerbate the climate crisis. We must fight back. @haymarketbooks.org

At a time of rising tensions and growing nuclear risks, this anniversary is a reminder: a different future is not only possible, it’s already underway. Read more here: www.icanw.org/5years_tpnw

This #DisarmamentWeek, we’re calling to #MoveTheMoney.

Soaring military spending blocks real progress. It’s time to redefine security – not through weapons, but through dignity, equality, and peace.
