This is a system where state-backed settler violence is routine, and where Palestinian life is treated as disposable. This system brings only death, fear, and endless trauma, for Palestinians. It cannot bring safety to any of us and for this reality  to end the occupation must end.  (3/3)

At no point since the end of the Cold War has military spending surged as fast as it did in 2024, when it rose 9.4 percent.

But analysts fear that as industrialized economies build up their armies, it's leading to the erosion of diplomacy.
