There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.


If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.


Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.

Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.


The Country of the Week is Palestine! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.


Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.

The weekly update is here.

Links and Stuff


The bulletins site is down.

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists

Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Add to the above list if you can.


Resources For Understanding The War


Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.

Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.

Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.

Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.

On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.


Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Pro-Russian

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.

https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.

https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.

https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.

https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.

https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.

https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.

https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.

https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.

https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine

Almost every Western media outlet.

https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.

https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

anyody got a video of the storming of the IDF barracks ? or some inside on how they did it ?

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The strategy seems to be:

  1. Launch unguided rockets

  2. Base sirens go off. All troops on the base go to designated safe area. Mostly unarmed, casual clothing, some not even dressed or wearing shoes.

  3. Blow hole in concrete outer wall. Potentially not even heard or understood to be a huge threat by base occupants due to sirens.

  4. Cut through wire perimeter fence.

  5. Proceed to area where IDF soldiers are sheltering due to sirens, shoot them all dead.

This video displays the breaking into Israeli base, CW graphic close range gunfighting, death and dead bodies: https://t.me/CIG_telegram/36856

What that video doesn't show very well are the rocket barrages, sirens on the base or the possible drones that may have been used to knock out vehicles on the way in. The main reason these base raids worked so well in my opinion is that they took advantage of the habits created by boredom and sloppyness the IDF have when they react to the rocket sirens and all sheltered unarmed in the same part of the base.


For getting out of Gaza itself:

  1. Shoot observation towers to cut surveillance.

  2. Cut fence.

  3. Blow up tanks that are sent with drones/RPGs. (these are sent without knowing what they're up against due to the observation towers being taken out and they vastly underestimate the threat)

  4. Escape.

this is the best thing I've ever read

Death to America

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

It's a simple strategy but with the element of surprise and the sheer arrogance and complacency of the IDF it all seemed to go rather smoothly for them. They demonstrated clear strategy and everyone in the attacking force knew their role and executed it deliberately at the correct times. It's on par with any professional military performing a well planned operation.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Damn. That is clever. Like straight up Sun Tzu strategy. Exploit your enemies known behavior to make them concentrate their troops, unprepared, in a known location then wipe them out. That's brilliant.

[-] ThomasMuentzner@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

the highest poker one can imagine , like so much can go wrong .. it can be all a trap beause they know .. the fucking wall might not fall ,... one dude might be on post ,..

Destiny truly is with the bold . there is a CS:go still headshoot in there BTW NSFW. gives some "pro on the noob server" vibs.

the fucking wall might not fall

I don't think this was left up to chance. The engineer teams of the Hamas military seem to be very well trained and professional. They have dedicated squads whose job is entirely to do this and I'm fairly sure they trained outside Gaza with replicas of exactly what they would be up against.
