I'll never forget how the Israelis bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza in October 2023 and the world was shocked and horrified. Israel denied it, saying they would never commit such a heinous crime. Then they went on to bomb every single hospital in Gaza. Now they are doing the same in Lebanon and Iran. The Israelis have bombed at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon. In Iran, the US and Israel have bombed 25 hospitals and medical centres. In Lebanon, they are committing double tap strikes to kill medics and rescue workers, just as they did in Gaza. Medics are forced to delay their responses. These monsters are normalizing war crimes that were once unthinkable.

Almost one month of illegal and unprovoked attacks by #Israel and the #USA in #Iran has now developed into a full-blown war in the Middle East 💣 In a global wakeup call, the war has exposed the folly of fossil fuel dependence 🛢️ Explore more ➡️ betterworld.info/IranWar - Follow us and share 📢 #IranWar‌ 🔸Some 3,000 Iranians have lost their lives, including 165 children, in a horrific school strike. Approximately 3.2 million people are displaced. 🔸 Global oil, gas, and fertilizer markets are in chaos, sending prices soaring. The international fallout is political disarray, inflation, fertilizer shortages, food insecurity, and the potential for famine. 🔸 #Trump yet again acts with impunity and without the approval of Congress, relying on military force instead of genuine attempts at #Diplomacy and #Peace with the age-old excuse of defending the American people and with disregard for the citizens of Iran. 🔸 #Netanyahu has launched an unprovoked and illegal war of aggression on Iran, derailing the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Oman. 🔸 The assassination of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was already planning his succession due to ill health, did not bring about regime change. 🔸 In a recent speech, Pope Leo XIV directly addressed the leaders who launched the war, demanding, “Cease fire so that avenues for dialogue may be reopened. Violence can never lead to the justice, stability, and peace that the people are waiting for.” Time and time again, leadership assassinations in the Middle East do not lead to peaceful outcomes. Missiles and bombs do not bring freedom. They cause civilian suffering, retaliation, and further destabilization. We need #Deescalation and #Diplomacy instead of violence if we are to ever achieve sustainable peace in the Middle East 🕊️ Photo: Mei | Better World Info

Adaptation requires upfront investment, but it is far more cost-effective than inaction, which allows the climate crisis to escalate, causing irreversible damage and out-of-control social and environmental costs, writes Rachael Mellor of @BetterWorldInfo. commondreams.org/opinion/cost-c…

I am tired. Tired of war. Tired of anger. Tired of death. Tired of lives lost. Tired of hope destroyed. Tired of unnecessary grief. Tired of the destruction of well-being. Tired of forced migration. Tired of tears. Tired of children living in tents, denied the childhood they deserve. I am tired of the political excuses offered for war. I am tired of racial hatred. I am tired of human lust for power wrapped up in theocracy. I am tired of talk of defence that excuses aggression. I am tired of biased reporting I am tired of being told that people who have died on one side of a dispute are lives lost and that on the other, they are just killed. I am tired of a failure to recognise that any life lost unnecessarily is just that: it is a life lost unnecessarily. I am tired of the belief that war will ever solve anything. I am tired of the assumption that after war everything will go back to normal. I am tired of the cost of conflict always being borne by anyone but those who started it. I am tired of those who think we don’t have a duty of care to everyone, whoever they are, wherever they come from, whatever they believe, whatever their skin colour, whatever their gender, whatever their age. I am tired of those who think that others don’t matter. Most of all, I am tired of those who destroy hope, I live in hope. Hope of a better day. Hope of a better life for everyone. Hope that I might live to see that. Hope that everyone might then share hope. Is that too much to hope for?

Anniversary of the #Fukushima #NuclearDisaster, March 11, 2011 🇯🇵 and the Dangerous Re-emergence of #NuclearPower ☢️ 💲 🚨 Explore more ➡️ betterworld.info/Fukushima - follow us and share 📢 In 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake struck off the northeastern coast of Japan, followed by a devastating tsunami. This tidal wave hit the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, triggering one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. The tsunami flooded the plant's facilities, resulting in a complete power outage. Nuclear energy is wildly expensive, dangerous, and a red herring for nuclear weapons ‼️ Despite this, global investment in #NuclearEnergy is experiencing a significant resurgence, with annual spending rising by over 50% since 2020. 🔸 Very few realize that with three nuclear meltdowns in Fukushima, humanity in the Northern Hemisphere barely escaped catastrophe! 🔸 The combined disaster (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear accident) resulted in over 20,000 deaths. 🔸 We are still dealing with the fallout 15 years later. Decommissioning is not expected to be completed until 2050. 🔸 Fuel debris, site cleanup, and contaminated cooling water remain unsolved challenges. 🔸 Nuclear reactors take 10-15 years to be built. Large-scale solar and wind projects take 1-5 years. 🔸 Nuclear energy construction and operating costs are 5 times those of solar and wind energy. 🔸 Taxpayers bear the risks as no insurer will cover such a colossally expensive risk. 🔸 Nuclear power plants have become dangerous targets in modern warfare. 🔸 After 80 years, we still have no safe method for storing nuclear waste - a huge liability for future generations. #AntiNuclear #StopNuclear Graphic: Mei | Better World Info

International Women's Day ♀️ - March 8, 2026 #RightsJusticeAction ⚖️ Women's Day honours the achievements and contributions of women throughout history and across nations. It also serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and women's rights. Explore more ➡️ betterworld.info/women/internat… - Follow us and share 📢 The 2026 theme 'Rights. Justice. Action' demands equal rights and equal justice in a world where women have only 64% of the legal rights that men hold. This affects all areas of women's lives, including employment, finances, safety, family life, property and land ownership, social mobility, and even in retirement. Time and time again, women are disadvantaged by the law simply because of their gender. This day is a global call for action to dismantle the systematic barriers to equal justice. Gender equality and women's rights will remain a fantasy as long as discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful social norms exist. 🔸 No country has reached the UN's 2030 goal for gender equality. Worryingly, between 2019 and 2022, almost 40% of countries saw no progress or a decline in gender equality. The situation for women has deteriorated in 18 countries, including Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Africa, and the U.S.A. 🔸 Women still have only 64% of the legal rights of men. 🔸 A woman or girl is killed every 10 minutes by a family member or intimate partner. 🔸 In the past decade, there has been a 50% increase in the number of women and girls directly exposed to conflict. 🔸 More than one billion women of reproductive age live in countries with restrictions on abortion. 🔸 An estimated 110 million girls and young women will be out of school by 2030. 🔸 Approximately 10% of women live in extreme poverty. This figure has seen no improvement since 2020. 🔸 As of 2025, 102 countries have never had a woman serve as Head of State or Government. As a key platform for gender equality and women's rights, 🌍 Better World Info 📚 provides comprehensive information on women's issues, organisations, essential tools and resources, and networking opportunities. We help women, policymakers, NGOs, institutions, and universities make informed decisions, affect positive change, build connections, and find like-minded initiatives - a one-stop knowledge, sharing, and action network dedicated to the gender equality movement.

This is genuinely extraordinary: x.com/MicloutT/statu… Speaking is General Sir Richard Shirreff, NATO's former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe. He says that the UK "should not, in any way, shape or form be involved with the Americans because they are being led by a couple of gung-ho nutters like Trump and Hegseth without a proper strategy and without serious thought about what the end state for this war is." He goes on: "Yet again we have an American president who has gone to war, a war of choice, a war of hubris frankly, without ANY [the emphasis is his] clear idea of how the war ends and without any clear strategy." He predicts that "this thing is going to go south very, very quickly." He highlights in particular just how foolish it was to kill Ayatollah Khamenei: "The idea of assassinating the Ayatollah Khamenei who was not just Iran's head of state but he was the religious symbol for Shiites worldwide. Assassinating him during the month of Ramadan is about as subtle as murdering the Pope on the steps of St Peter's in Holy Week. It will inflame the Shiite world and what you're doing by doing that is probably pushing large numbers of Iranians who might have been reconcilable, who might have thought about rising up, back into the fold of the irreconcilable."

One of the greatest ever anti-war (Iraq) speeches by the late, great Tony Benn: “What fools we are to live in a generation for which war is a computer game for our children and just an interesting little channel for news item. Every Member of Parliament tonight who votes for the Government motion will be consciously and deliberately accepting responsibility for the deaths of innocent people if the war begins.”

Münchner #Sicherheitskonferenz am 13.-15. Februar 2026 🪖 Alle Infos zur #MSC2026 findest du hier ➡️ besserewelt.info/militaer/nato/… Die 20 Millionen Euro teure MSC ist ein militaristischer Echoraum des Westens. Mit oder ohne #Ukraine der Kurs ist klar: mehr #Aufrüstung und mehr #NATO Die Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz ist ein Treffen von hochrangigen Politikern, Militärs und Lobbyisten der Rüstungsindustrie. Hinter verschlossenen Türen wird über militärische Sicherheit und mehr Unterstützung für die Ukraine geredet. Wir empfehlen hingegen die alternative Münchener #Friedenskonferenz! 🕊️ Am Samstag um 13 Uhr startet die grosse #Friedensdemo am Stachus ☮️ Wir brauchen Diplomatie, zivile Alternativen und Gemeinsame Sicherheit. Nur so kann Sicherheit für alle gelingen ✌️ #SiKo #NoSiko #StopNATO #AntiSiKo #Trump Foto: zuse24 | CC BY-SA 2.0
