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.

US charter flight takes 150 people to Israel, including army reservists going to war

In this very short live update this "stop the madness" quote jumped out at me.

Among those waiting in the LAX terminal to board the flight was 37-year-old David Frankel, an Israeli citizen who fled with his wife and two children to Southern California following the Hamas attacks a week ago. Frankel is an Israeli army reservist and said he was called up to serve while in California.

“It’s heartbreaking, but I’m doing it because it’s necessary,” Frankel told CNN. “It’s sadly the reason I’m leaving my boys behind. I had to say goodbye to them in their sleep just a few hours ago. I'm obviously nervous … I want to see my boys grow up. But you have to put that aside and stop the madness that’s happening.”

im sorry but the regular mega is about to expire and i need this opinion out there.

like its fuckin UNUSUAL that Star Wars has versions that override the original versions, right? name one other series that has engaged in such aggressive revisionism on early entries. i cannot think of a single film from the 1970s which you are legally obliged to view with CGI from decades since it was released. fucking ridiculous.

NEW pictures showing Egyptian 🇪🇬 Military Assets being transferred to Rafah,

The convoy was spotted in Al-Arish, which is 75km away from Gaza.

I suspect these are most likely to be keeping the Palestinians inside Gaza rather than helping. They will be deployed to the Rafah crossing which is the only way in and out of Gaza to Egypt.

⚡️🇵🇸 The CEO of an Israeli weapons systems company was allegedly arrested by the Israeli government for being in suspicion of stealing and embezzling aid meant for Israeli soldiers, according to Channel 12, allegedly.

NOTE - Confirmed, the suspected amount is 180 million Shekels, the company in question is CAA, apparently, civilian donors were donating to the company so they can buy and then send vests to the IDF soldiers, which never materialized.

A 5 hours ceasefire starts at 9 am today.

This is most likely to allow dual nationals to leave Gaza and aid trucks to safely enter.

Our legend Gunther Fehlinger dropped his most confusing tweet yet

"I call all law abiding Palestinians to come to European Union 🇪🇺

We can make entry declaration

Who signs a EU sentry, anti Hamas declaration & rejects terrorism can come to EU to get asylum & live with us in safety forever ♾

Rest I guess will be crashed by Israel 🇮🇱 #ExGaza"

Israel cutting off vital infrastructure to Palestine is literally worse than Russia doing the same to Ukraine because they literally stated they were going to do it. I don't think Putin ever issued a statement that they were going to starve and terrorize Ukrainian civilians

Today my Finnish coworker messaged me out of the blue to ask if I heard about the Balticconnector pipeline and data cable being damaged. They "already know" it's Russia and that Russia also did the Nordstream explosions. It got pretty uncomfortable when I gave a vague answer "geopolitics is crazy, it's been a year and everyone is still just pointing fingers at each other about Nordstream." and I could feel they were very close to calling me a Russia bot.

For folks out there who are concerned about using massive surveillance platforms and military contractors like Google to perform machine translation of sensitive and potentially "illegal" statements, consider LibreTranslate. It is a free software machine translation system you can run on your own machine. It does not require an Nvidia GPU like many other AI systems, nor does it send your requests to the internet for remote processing.

You can try it here, but if you want the benefit of privacy, you must install it on your own computer.

Former Israeli defense official says bombardment of Gaza should continue until Hamas is 'ashes' | AP News

A former Israeli defense official told the Associated Press Thursday that Israel should continue bombarding Gaza for as long as militants remain in the territory, even if it incurs massive casualties to Israeli soldiers.

Yaakov Amidror, a retired General and senior fellow at JINSA, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, said that Israel would "bomb any attempt to build military capability in the in the Gaza Strip for the next hundred years," raising the specter of an unending military engagement in Gaza.

"We need to crush Hamas to ashes, no matter how many casualties," Amidror said. "Of course, we will give all means to our soldiers to defend themselves. but I don't think casualties are the main element in decision-making."

At least the people at the openly pro-war think tanks don't try to appear human. I'm just as creeped out when Joe Shmuck of the Yada Yada Institute for Peace uses euphemisms but is much of a monster when he says "The IDF will likely need to be aggressive in Gaza to neutralize the Hamas terrorist threats. It is an unfortunate necessity." He makes it seem like the IDF is a basketball team that uses sharp elbows.

Israel is done for i think, they are too weak to fullfill the desires of their Hate on Gaza. But to fucking mental and done for to not try , or ragingly demand it from the IDF . Pretty sure the Moral really is rock bottom in the IDF , because most of them also understood that "they are the baddies" and also that they most probably gonna die when they enter Gaza. Taking Gaza might something that the "great Regional Power Israel" considered and planned , but its something that "small regional power Israel" can not afford to do or risk.

Edit: arnt the most fanatic jews / settlers spared from conscription or something ?
