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.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses

The COVID-19 pandemic didn’t just create more polarization in Canada—it also brought Q-Anon believers, anti-vaccine pundits, and white nationalists into a shared movement. The result? A broader cultural war inflamed by far-right content creators. thewalrus.ca/far-right-extrem...
