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.

Al-Jazeera: Hamas: We appreciate the Russian President’s position of rejecting the aggression and the Zionist siege of Gaza, and we welcome the Russian efforts aimed at stopping the Zionist aggression.

"It will be a bloodbath on a Biblical scale, jack. And I'm fine with that. I'm Joe Biden and I approve this carnage."

Hours after Israel ordered an exodus in Gaza, State Department officials circulated internal warnings against 3 phrases:

  • "de-escalation/ceasefire"
  • "end to violence/bloodshed"
  • "restoring calm"

It's the latest sign the US won't urge Israeli restraint

Evidence of tanks at the music festival (NSFW):

Note that it is not clear when the tanks arrived, and we may never know that much, but they were definitely at the festival while fighting was going on.

Remember Lord Miles, that British dude who got captured by the Taliban because he thought it would be neat to see the fall of Kabul? He fuckin lived.
His friends kept posting that he was chilling and playing videogames under house arrest and they were actually telling the truth

I'm watching videos that purport to be Kornet ATGMs fired at Merkavas in Palestine during the current offensive. From the video it's not possible to tell of the vehicle was superficially damaged, disabled, or hard-killed, but regardless this really has been a banner year for breaking down the belief in western military invincibility.

Big ass article in the newspaper today here about celebrations/protests in favor of the Palestinian uprising being met by calls for Palestinians to disavow the resistance against the genocide of their people by several national Jewish orgs, as well as human interest pieces about Jewish people in Sweden being terrified now and cancelling work etc etc.

And it's again like much of this fucking bullshit, really simple actually. If you are Palestinian in Sweden, your family came from Palestine and somehow ended up here, if you are Jewish in Sweden, you dont actually have to have a connection to Israel, regardless of how its framed here.

NOTEWORTHY ALSO: The first reported Swedish deaths in the uprising, are a pair of literal children, a 4 year old and a 1 and a half year old child, who are reported to have died in Gaza. There are no article about Palestinian fears or Palestinian sorrows in the newspapers.

Foreign Affairs minister of kkkanada is hesitant about Canadian response to Palestine-Israel saying that it's partly caused by Ukraine, calling it a "second front" to ukraine as the "first front".

https://twitter.com/PaulMitchell_AB/status/1712247603654729998?s=19

The implication she's making here is that we've now entered WW3.

CNN showed a picture of the dead baby might be a reactionary source idk, CW for possible dead baby and it's not very convincing? I don't want to be callous, but the picture could be from literally anywhere and no one has verified anything. This propaganda war is so fucking slimy and CNN is just as complicit in racism against Muslims and also stoking antisemitism as any Fox News or OANN

One thing I will say is that the picture of the Aleppo bombing the runway shows exactly how deep you need to be thinking about when it comes to your guerilla tunnels.

That's runway too, not just plain dirt. If you want your tunnels to be airstrike safe you need to be thinking minimum of that depth and reinforced.

Norman Finkelstein

Chaim Rumkowski was a Jewish collaborator with the Nazis during World War II. Known as "King Chaim," Rumkowski accumulated massive wealth and power in the Lodz ghetto as he presided over the deportation of Lodz Jews to the death camps.

He harbored the conceit that he himself would be spared. But King Chaim was wrong. Here's how Wikipedia describes his ending:

In August 1944, Rumkowski and his family joined the last transport to Auschwitz, and he was murdered there on August 28, 1944, by Jewish Sondercommanado inmates who beat him to death as revenge for his role in the Holocaust.

I was reminded of this episode in Jewish history when it was reported this morning that "King Mehdi" Hasan was suspended from MSNBC for being a Muslim.

Context: MSNBC suspends Muslim anchors amid Israeli war in Gaza; Arab News sources confirm reports that US network sidelined Mehdi Hasan
