    I remember the Gaza Civil Defense saying there were weapons vaporizing people. I thought they were exaggerating. They weren’t.

      No of course they weren’t exaggerating, even high explosives used on multiple people at once have a similar effect because all of the bones and everything are pulverized.

    And the government that helped provide those weapons is going to be demanding your vote this year because ‘it’s the most important election of our lifetime.’

      This logic will elect Republicans again and they will make the situation worse. There is no option where this stops unless we keep voting in progressives like we did in New York and New Jersey.

      If it didn’t matter AIPAC wouldn’t be pouring money into candidates, an example like think of is the 9th district of Illinois where Kat Abughazaleh discovered that one of the PACS sponsoring their opponents was a shell for AIPAC

        All I hear is ‘most important election of our lifetime.’

        Voting for the people that’s helped enable our current situation is never the solution.

        Which is why the wing of the party that capitulates to republicans keeps doing it.

          Democrats in safe seats capitulate and deserve all the criticism they get but not all Democrats want the stairs quo. Minnesota just passed a wealth tax that they have been using to find better public education and free school lunches. New York Mayor Mamdani has been doing amazing things and New Jersey just elected a progressive.

          Positive change is possible we just need more progressives.

            Which is why I referred specifically to a wing of the democratic party and not the whole thing.

    An Industrialized Genocide

    Anatomy of the bombs

    The investigation identified specific US-manufactured munitions used in Gaza that are linked to these disappearances:

    MK-84 ‘Hammer’: This 900kg [2,000lb] unguided bomb packed with tritonal generates heat up to 3,500C [6,332F].

    BLU-109 bunker buster: Used in an attack on al-Mawasi, an area Israel had declared a “safe zone” for forcibly displaced Palestinians in September 2024, this bomb evaporated 22 people. It has a steel casing and a delayed fuse, burying itself before detonating a PBXN-109 explosive mix. This creates a large fireball inside enclosed spaces, incinerating everything within reach.

    GBU-39: This precision glide bomb was used in the al-Tabin school attack. It uses the AFX-757 explosive. “The GBU-39 is designed to keep the building structure relatively intact while destroying everything inside,” Fatigarov noted. “It kills via a pressure wave that ruptures lungs and a thermal wave that incinerates soft tissue.”
