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.
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.

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.
Last week's discussion post.
I don't know why the Chinese even allowed these fuckers to even get inside the country in the first place. Every single time seems the CPC refuses to accept there wont be any resolution to US vs China other than direct confrontation.
I want to say it only makes these rabid Americans look even more stupid, but it doesn't make the Chinese look any better, why the fuck are you having a dialogue with these monsters.
Feels like the CPC has been sleeping under a rock for the past 6 months and don't realize westerners are literally at the support Nazi stage. Xi will be left alone talking about common prosperity while the world marches towards WW3. Fucking disappointing, I hope this is not the path they're taking for long.
And if that happens everyone dies, so I appreciate that they're continuing to try to keep things from decaying in to WWIII. America is in it's weakest position since probably WWII. The myth of invincibility around the US, NATO, and the IDF is crumbling. The world is in the process of re-aligning. The Petrodollar system may collapse. You shouldn't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake. Right now avoiding direct conflict is a good strategy. America will continue to cannibalize itself and lose it's hegemonic power. China and BRICS stand to gain economic power and political status they continue to not be insane warmongers.
I also see an aspect of a mature adult ignoring tantrums from a petulant child in this. The CPC, whatever faults it has, is a centralized communist party. It has continuity across administrations and from year to year. The US is a schismatic mess, with control being juggled by two parties of fascists who despise each other and cannot be trusted at all, constantly backstabbing both themselves, their allies, and their enemies. The US's foreign policy stance can change with the wind depending on who is in power, and the foreign policy of the white house and congress are not always aligned. It's a mess, and I imagine it's incredibly frustrating to deal with diplomatically even when America isn't trying to provoke you in to invading Taiwan.
The entire Israeli-Palestinian conflict involves about 12 million people. The CPC is responsible for the well-being of about 1.3 billion people. It doesn't have the force-projection to invade a nuclear armed state on the far side of the world, nor as far as I know does it have any levers to effect Israeli behavior. This is way, way outside their sphere of influence and interest and as far as I know they have limited, if any, resources to influence the outcomes of a far away regional conflict.
