The Pentagon’s recent admission it’s deploying weapons in space is the first time the US has acknowledged this. Read what Dave Webb has to say, Convenor of Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space Convenor & former CND Chair labourcnd.org.uk/2026/10/spac...

Space: a future US battlefield
The recent admission by the Pentagon that the US is deploying weapons in space is the first time this has been officially acknowledged, and has rightly generated concern about an ‘arms race’ in space.

Settlers From Within
@SettlersFW
A hilltop settler admits they burn Palestinian homes and Yinon Magal abruptly ends the interview.
It began with Magal trying to link an attack to the young man’s outpost, only for him to clarify that it wasn’t as close as Magal suggested. But things got even more uncomfortable when he complained that hilltop youth are punished for burning Palestinian homes, comparing their treatment to that of anti-government protesters who burn cars.
When asked if burning a house was acceptable, he never answered. Magal quickly took back the microphone and ended the exchange.
