Outposts expand, access to land is increasingly restricted, and communities face growing pressure. Meanwhile, the Oslo framework that was meant to govern these areas continues to erode on the ground.

The career path: design military policy, approve contracts, then join a company bidding for those same contracts. Completely within the rules, and that’s exactly the problem. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

Drone warfare is expanding rapidly, raising urgent questions about accountability, civilian harm, and the future of conflict. Join us May 9 (3pm ET) for a panel and Q&A exploring what’s at stake and what can be done: buff.ly/d4HU5jh

"The most important lesson of the First World War is that leaders who think they can manage escalation usually can’t."

A 10-day truce is not a peace agreement; it's a "temporary freeze" while the U.S. maintains a naval blockade and Israel threatens to resume the bombardment of Lebanon. We don't need diplomatic levers for more war; we need a permanent end to the militarism starving the region. buff.ly/PZyS8QS

Military bases and oil facilities are burning, and the cost is being paid in "black rain" and marine pollution. We cannot talk about #ClimateJustice without talking about anti-militarism. The #war system is a wrecking ball for the biosphere. buff.ly/aiEB5hn

Wealthy elites get tax cuts while the average American loses student loans and food stamps to fund a $1.5 trillion war machine.

From Iraq to Afghanistan to Iran, one pattern repeats: the deaths of civilians are undercounted, disputed, or ignored. worldbeyondwar.org/how-many-peo...

The Iran war is contaminating ecosystems people depend on to survive. Add rising nuclear risk, and the picture is clear: the military industrial complex is incompatible with a livable planet. buff.ly/wY1cT6s

The war system is a mechanism that starves the global majority to line the pockets of oil tycoons and arms dealers. buff.ly/w5coL4p

Tens of thousands in Tokyo and 130+ locations across Japan are rising up to protect their pacifist Constitution. We must stand with the grassroots resistance against "neo-militarism" and the transformation of Japan into a high-risk missile front!

We’ve already seen what happens when nuclear plants fail: Chernobyl, Fukushima. Now imagine adding active war to the equation.

Want to turn anti-war values into local action? ✊ Join our Europe Info Session (April 22, 18:00 CEST) to learn how to start a World BEYOND War chapter, connect with organizers, and build grassroots power for peace across your community!

Apparently, it now takes a Pope and three cardinals on prime-time TV to remind everyone that war isn’t entertainment and civilians aren’t props. Low bar, but here we are.

Pope Leo, facing a direct attack from the U.S. president, responded with: "Too many innocent people are being killed. Someone has to stand up and say there's a better way." That someone just happens to speak for 1.4 BILLION PEOPLE. buff.ly/JKYoVBk

As calls grow in Europe to expand military power, a new petition warns against normalizing nuclear weapons in Germany. Preparing for nuclear war is a failure of global responsibility. Support the letter!

“University leaders have a responsibility to ensure Britain’s knowledge centres contribute to saving lives, rather than allowing education to become a pipeline into the war economy.”

Nothing says “open democratic debate” like arresting people engaged in nonviolent civil resistance. Meanwhile, the machinery of war continues uninterrupted. buff.ly/Bx23QSs

Millions displaced by the war in Sudan are now struggling to survive in eastern Chad, where aid cuts mean ONE doctor can be left to treat HUNDREDS a day, showing how war’s impact spreads far beyond borders while support continues to shrink.

US military bases across the Gulf—long presented as pillars of “security”—are now described by experts as liabilities after recent strikes. This is why movements calling to #CloseBases argue that militarism generates targets, not safety.

More than 600 children harmed in just over a month, entire communities uprooted, yet somehow this still gets filed under “security policy.” If that term is doing this much work, it deserves far more scrutiny.

The new blueprint for Gaza, southern Lebanon, and Syrian border areas is: maintain widespread trauma, delay diplomacy indefinitely, and invoke “security” to present it as compliant with human rights and international law. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

War in the Middle East is now delaying medicine and aid to Sudan and Mali, driving up costs and cutting access to care, showing how militarism spreads harm across regions www.rfi.fr/en/africa/20...

Turning aid in Gaza over to private contractors tied to military structures risks transforming humanitarian relief into a profit-driven system of control, where access to food, water, and care is managed through force rather than delivered based on need.

$1.5 trillion for the military is a massive transfer of public money into a permanent war economy, while people’s actual needs are pushed aside.

Oil from a bombed Iranian ship is threatening endangered species and entire coastal livelihoods, and it barely registers in headlines. War systematically poisons ecosystems, and that damage is routinely ignored.

US policy is fueling a humanitarian crisis in Cuba, and now those forced to flee may be sent to Guantánamo, turning suffering into detention instead of addressing the conditions that caused it. responsiblestatecraft.org/guantanamo-b...

A ceasefire one day, over 100 airstrikes the next: violence and war have overridden diplomacy almost instantly, while civilians pay the price and entire regions are pushed deeper into crisis. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

More than 100 airstrikes. Civilian neighborhoods reduced to rubble. What is happening in Lebanon reflects the normalization of mass harm against civilians. buff.ly/MmMje5b

Has the “war against Africa” ever ended or just changed form? Join us on April 10 in Wanfried to unpack 500+ years of exploitation, resistance, and the path toward justice and peace. actionnetwork.org/events/end-t...

"Israel’s targeted killings and smear campaigns against journalists must be stopped" www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

War has gendered impacts that are too often ignored. Join us April 29 for a webinar creating space to examine how conflict affects those facing gender-based oppression, featuring voices from across the region. worldbeyondwar.org/women-in-con...

They’ll arrest people for protesting war, but not for launching it. buff.ly/ASc9ZUF

"That arms deals are reported as sales belies who’s actually paying for them. Americans, not Israelis, pay for the vast majority of U.S. arms sales to Israel." buff.ly/SpQ4V3q

U.S. military bases in the Gulf were sold as protection. In reality, they’ve increased exposure to attack and tied entire countries to cycles of escalation. #CloseBases! responsiblestatecraft.org/us-bases-in-...

War is a choice and it’s always a bad choice! So true. We need to get rid of the war system! Phill Gittins of @world-beyond-war.bsky.social at the protest organised by @lakenheathalliance.bsky.social

AI is speeding up war = more civilians at risk

Finland spent decades avoiding nuclear weapons, looked at the current global situation, and thought: maybe what this tense border needs is the option for nukes. buff.ly/vC0Lurx

Journalism is not illegal. Censorship is. interc.pt/4dPOEeu #FreePress

Military spending up 20% in one year, while basic services remain underfunded. Governments keep increasing war budgets like it’s urgent necessity. It isn’t. These are NOT our priorities.

“We would be better off if bases across the region were closed for good.” interc.pt/4m3FWeI #CloseBases

Pretty sure Greenlanders have said it again and again: they don’t want more U.S. military on their land. Polls show overwhelming opposition to U.S. control, yet expansion plans keep coming. Maybe it’s time to start listening. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

🚨 Trump just asked for $1.5 trillion for war while people are told to go without care, housing, or dignity. They know exactly who they’re abandoning, so the business of war keeps booming, and the military-industrial complex keeps cashing in. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

Silicon Valley once promised connection and creativity. Now it’s investing billions in AI weapons, surveillance, and war systems, rebranded as “defending democracy.”

Universities should be places where ideas grow, rights are defended, and the future is imagined beyond violence not institutions partnering in surveillance, border militarization, and harm. buff.ly/BVzY7jU

Cuba’s scientific community has long adapted under pressure. But when hospitals lose power and transport collapses, even the most resilient systems break:
