Friendly reminder: when commenting about a news event, especially something that just happened, please provide a source of some kind. While ideally this would be on nitter or archived, any source is preferable to none at all given.
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
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.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.
The Country of the Week is still Palestine, though we will switch next week to a new country.
Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.
The weekly (biweekly?) 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.
Last week's discussion post.
Gonna use this when anyone complains about Hamas
I deeply despise Genocide Joe.
I hope he dies screaming, scared & confused at being surrounded by faces he no longer recognizes
Then i hope his belief in catholicism is proven true by the fact he gets sent straight to hell for being an irredeemable monster
Inshallah
With the number of bombs that have been dropped on such a small, densely-populated area 6500 seems implausibly low. Do airstrikes even actually work?
Presumably there's a bunch of people missing/trapped under rubble that aren't getting reported because there's no confirmation...
Yeah when all the dust settles we will find out the death toll is many times higher than estimated
and of course no numbers so far have had anything to say about the health, nutrition, or sanitation crises
The only reason western media and the Israelis were even listing actual specific death figures for Palestinians is so they could get off on having a good “ratio” again - since they got so embarrassed by Al-Aqsa flood. They have a constant need to remind Palestinians they are worth less than an Israeli, they make sure to kill 8 innocent Palestinian kids for every Israeli settler killed. An eye for 8 eyes.
Now that they have re-established the proper balance of K:D ratio they will hide the Palestinian deaths
Genocide Joe literally covering for a genocide Jesus Christ
What exactly do you think happens when you drop 12000 tons of bombs in an urban environment?
oh boy we're already doing genocide denial
Oh great this is going to be the new Zionist bullshitting defense. We can’t know how many Palestinians die, keep it at an eternally nebulous amount that doesn’t really increase
"Can anyone even count that high?" - every zionist on Twitter and
inside a month.
this really makes my brain boil over. the past two weeks i have been crying on and off, haunted by images of dead and dying palestinian children and this genocidal monster clearly doesn't give a flying fuck. he probably couldn't even bare witness, as he most likely can't even hold a phone or use a computer because of age-related weakness and dystaxia. he is probably just spitting out whatever wormtongue blinken or netanyahoo is shouting into his ear. everything that comes out of his mouth is whatever confabulation or figment that struggles to cohere into a persistent memory
Irredeemable country led by a monster
Here's the thing Jack - Biden's trust and confidence ratings are in the shitter so who is going to believe Bidet?
