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.


Last week's discussion post.

🚨 BREAKING: As promised by Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida, massive barrages of missiles are being fired towards occupied Asqalan at these moments.

What makes this one so different? Why give a warning for this one? Demoralization tactic?

Edit: they’re threatening to keep up this bombardment until the city is destroyed if Israel doesn’t stop the terror bombing, and will do it other cities too. I’m surprised they have enough misiles for this kind of thing tbh.

Just last week the media in Canada was talking about how the Conservative Party had a new base of support in Muslim immigrants as they both opposed inclusion of LGBT issues in education. (How much of this support was real versus manufactured by the media I can't say). This led to a lot of liberals showing their true colours, dehumanising and insulting Muslims in Canada. But now with the Palestine conflict coming front and centre in the media cycle, I wonder if the inherent split between the Conservatives' interests and their supposed base of Muslim support has become apparent faster than expected. While many conservatives never stopped being xenophobic I think pundits were hoping they could keep it on the down low until the next election. However with many Canadians publically making calls for genocide in Palestine, that ship has sailed

Out of morbid curiosity, I checked NAFO Twitter, and it's a combination of people shilling for the Zionist entity, people trying to find any tenuous link between Hamas and Russia, and people malding that nobody is paying attention to Ukraine anymore.

If Putin funded this uprising, then Putin and Russia is a better country than Sweden.

A couple of bad elections could turn Sweden about as reactionary as Russia, but there is no amount of elections that could conceivably make us fund Palestinian liberation.

The American Embassy in Beirut denied its evacuation from the country and the announcement of the need for US citizens to leave Lebanon.

The American propaganda resource “Voice of America” launched a fake about this, and then simply deleted the publication.

A short while ago, we reported an Egyptian foreign ministry statement confirming that the crossing with Gaza remains open. However, the ministry confirmed that Israeli attacks on the Palestinian side of the crossing had made it non-operational.

Now, we’re hearing that another Israeli strike has hit the Rafah crossing.

The level of barbarism makes me so angry.

Yesterday, I was reading the wiki page on the war in Israel right now, and the "war crimes" section included instances committed by both Hamas and Israel. It was several paragraphs. Today, the section has been shortened down to less than a paragraph that not only singles out Hamas, but it removes details of any specific crimes. I can understand singling them out from a propaganda perspective, but I don't understand why they completely removed the details of what Hamas did other than just letting westoids scare themselves at night with their wicked, projected imagination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war#War_crimes_2

I started googling people who appear on CNN and MSNBC who get interviewed by anchors. Here's an example of a guy who was described as something like "an advisor to 6 Israeli PMs"...

"The reality is that barbarians have attacked the margins & in some case, the core of the civilized world. We need to shake ourselves of the notion that these are completely distinct & limited phenomena. All of us, not just Israelis & Ukrainians, are in the fight of our lives."

Sidi must be pulling his hairs out right about now

Any significant number of Palestinians allowed into Egypt will just trigger a general uprising, this is NOT the kind of war you "bring home to the Nile"

Of course if the Americans somehow brainwash him into attempting such a thing, the military will splinter and a general uprising will occur anyway

The only semi-plausible out for this wannabe Pharoah is to play possum and hope beyond hope it all goes away, lmao good luck with that Sisi boy

For reference, this is the furthest Israel got in 2014. Using, as referenced above, using ~15k tank shells and 35k artillery shells, against Hamas and co. that were cut off from Iranian funding and had a much less developed tunnel network than they do now.
