National Coalition Promises To Fight Canada’s War Bank

 

“Security comes from funding homes, food and education. Security does not come from an economy built on war.”

It was January 2026 when Canada’s anti-war organizers realized what they were dealing with. Activists from groups like World Beyond War and Davenport For Palestine jumped on a Zoom call to discuss Toronto’s bid to host a new global bank that will fund the arms industry. 

The organizers, who mostly knew each other from Palestine solidarity protests and Signal chats, created a document and got together online to look for information about the bank.

“Could it really be that this was a financial institution whose sole purpose was to channel money into arms manufacturing?,” Rachel Small, an organizer for World Beyond War Canada, said they wanted to figure out. “Yes, that is indeed what it is.”

“That was definitely when we coined it a ‘war bank.’”

Since then, Small and her fellow activists held dozens of one-on-one conversations with organizers from the student movement, labour unions, and civil society groups to build what they hope will be a national movement to stop the bank from coming to fruition in Canada. 

On Friday, at a press conference in the heart of Toronto’s financial district, they launched their campaign with the slogan: “Stop the DSRB: No war bank in our city.”

The “Defense, Security and Resilience Bank,” or DSRB, was originally an idea proposed by NATO. Last week, Canada was officially selected as the host country, and some of its major cities — Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal — are vying for the chance to host the bank’s headquarters. 

“The last thing Canada needs is a new military financial arms race,” said Sharmeen Khan, a member of World Beyond War Toronto, at the press conference. “Security comes from funding homes, food and education. Security does not come from an economy built on war.”  (more...)

NEW: Legacy media largely framed Canada's new War Bank as a win for Mark Carney.

But as @emmapaling reports, a national coalition is mobilizing to oppose it. https://t.co/lVtlbGJZho

Handala hacktivists reveal how they penetrated Israeli 'think tank' classified data

 

Handala, the pro-resistance hacker group, has laid out, in rare detail, how it conducted a multi-year breach of the network security of Israel’s so-called Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), gaining long-term access to its classified information.

In a statement released Tuesday, the group said it had, for years, maintained full access to the notorious think tank’s restricted files.

According to Handala, the most significant breakthrough occurred on April 22, 2025, when “the doors of INSS became wide open,” and two hooded operatives walked into floor -2, the level where the institute stores its most sensitive material.

“This was not a one-time operation, but the result of years of planning which gave access to the most vital information in INSS,” the group stated.

“Does this prove Handala’s multi-year penetration of your security? Are your so-called secret meetings really secret? How do you justify and cover up our access to the movements of high-ranking Mossad and Shin Bet authorities?” Handala said.

A key revelation in Handala’s announcement concerns how the group recorded the institute’s closed-door meetings. For years, INSS reportedly held its top-secret sessions over Zoom, a platform the group claims it infiltrated with ease.

“We advise you to change your CCTV cameras to the same brand that Shin Bet uses,” Handala mocked.  (more...)

Iran Hackers EXPOSED 400 U.S. Navy officers' identity in Massive Cyber Leak

Tensions in the Middle East are taking a dangerous new turn as the Iran-linked hacker group Handala claims to have leaked sensitive data of 400 officers from the United States Navy deployed in the Persian Gulf.

In what they call “Operation Premature Death,” the group alleges it accessed and published names, ranks, and operational details of U.S. naval personnel—while also sending chilling warnings directly to officers that “the sea is no longer safe.”

But that’s not all.

The hackers also claim to have:

• Breached systems linked to the Port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates
• Extracted over 430,000 classified documents tied to shipping and infrastructure
• Leaked 150,000 emails belonging to former U.S. diplomat Robert Malley, a key figure in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action

Cyber attack hit UAE's Fujairah Port 'minutes before' IRGC missile strike

 

The attacks follow continued US escalation and violations of the truce, including a blockade on Iranian ports and an attempt to break Tehran’s hold on the Strait of Hormuz

Iranian hacker group Handala announced in a statement late on 4 May that it launched a massive cyberattack on the UAE port of Fujairah in coordination with Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) missile strikes on the site.

“The strategic port of Fujairah in the UAE was hit by a sophisticated cyber operation and completely hacked. Now, thousands of classified documents – including contract details, ship traffic, financial transactions, and highly confidential maps of Fujairah’s oil pipelines and infrastructure, are available for public download on the Handala website,” the Iranian hacker group said on Monday evening. 

“These precise maps of oil lines and critical installations were delivered directly to the missile units of the Resistance Axis, leading to the accurate and pinpoint targeting of key objectives in the port … Just minutes after this breach, IRGC missile units, in full coordination with Handala, targeted the Port of Fujairah with precise missile strikes,” the statement added. 

“The message is clear: no covert or overt collaboration between the UAE, the Zionist regime, and the US escapes our attention, and every act of betrayal will be answered,” Handala stressed, adding that “over 430,000 confidential documents have been dumped from the port’s servers and are now in Handala’s possession, with our cyberattacks still ongoing.”

“UAE, this is your final warning: If you continue your betrayal and malicious acts against the Axis of Resistance, be prepared for even harsher cyber, intelligence, and military blows. Your collaboration with Israel and the US will not save you from your inevitable fate.”

Handala also said that day that it leaked the names of 400 senior US Navy officers currently deployed in the Persian Gulf. 

Shortly before the group's announcement on the hacking operation, missile and drone attacks targeted the UAE, causing a fire in the Fujairah oil zone. One strike targeted a vessel belonging to the Emirati state oil firm ADNOC.  (more...)

Operation Premature Death: 400 U.S. Navy Officers Exposed by Handala

 

At this moment, the list of 400 senior U.S. Navy officers who, just hours ago, departed from one of the terrorist U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf as part of Operation “Premature Death,” and are now deployed across the Gulf waters, with their ranks and operational units, has been published.

This is more than a warning, this is proof that our eyes remain wide open and ever vigilant in the heart of your fleet. The shadows of the Resistance are monitoring your every move; no vessel, no base, and no route is hidden from us.

A rapid signal alert was sent directly to the secure phones of these officers: “By choosing the path of arrogance and aggression, you have chosen premature death. The sea is no longer safe for you. On the far side of these waters, Epstein Island awaits its yellow dog navy, and we know exactly how to deliver what it needs.”

This is only a glimpse of our intelligence mastery and ability to respond.

To the hostile country across the Gulf: consider this your final warning, Handala’s patience has run out.

Death and destruction are waiting for you, and no base or alliance can shield you from the shadows of retribution.

We neither forgive nor forget;

The executioner of justice and vengeance is closer than ever.

Ben Shapiro is coming to Canada to oppose antizionism. Here's why this is beyond disgusting

 

In less than two weeks, Ben Shapiro is coming to Canada as part of a conference “against antizionism.”

I have to say, the depth of human cruelty required to put on this kind of conference is pretty incredible.

See, on Friday, I was in Ottawa to host a conversation with Yasuko Thanh, in which we discussed Hassan Kanafani’s book: Pizza Before We Die.

ORDER HERE: https://arsenalpulp.com/Books/P/Pizza-Before-We-Die

The book is a collection of eyewitness accounts written by a man living in Gaza during Israel’s genocide. It documents the very human, day-to-day reality of living through some of the worst horrors of our lifetime.

It breaks through all the noise and reminds you of a simple fact: what Israel is doing in Gaza is indefensible on every level.

In today’s video, I plan to read you an excerpt from this book. 

Then, we’re going to contrast the words you hear against this effort — soon to arrive in Toronto-area conference room — that seeks to demonize people who oppose those horrors.
