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.

/r/trueanon has retreated to the hills (gone private) to wage a protracted peoples war (the mods probably got tired of nuking genocidaire accounts)

Went to bed hoping that there would be something that had changed meaningfully: military intervention, major Palestinian operations in the West Bank, government shaking protest, declaration of embargo, or at least a successful delivery of humanitarian supplies.

I guess it's still Friday...

Today in jesus-christ shit

I cannot confirm anything about this. I don't know what it describes actually happened, if the video is from this week, or anything. It just reminds me of a story during the Vietnam War where a bunch of College kids went around their campus for a week putting up fliers saying the were going to burn a dog to death, and when all the enraged Amerikkkans showed up outraged about the dog burning the kids were like "There's no dog you dorks, American is setting kids of fire with napalm every day! you cared when you thought there was a dog, you should care when it's human beings!"

Nitterlink (No dogs are harmed it's just some Israelis picking up dogs off the street, and there's an IDF soldier for a few seconds.)

The dog sitting calmly in the shot up van does look... uh... staged. But whatever, who knows, propaganda is propaganda.

Kinda looks like this is some Hindutva account using the war in Palestine to smear Muslims. Not an angle I'd considered but I guess it makes sense they would.

here's another video I found CW: cats and people in danger but no one is shown being injured. A bomb goes off outside of an apartment and the people and cat inside startle

I wonder if Westernauts would change their minds if they saw cats in danger, our would just villify Palestinians for "putting cats in danger".

So Hamas has been planning this operation for years while Israel is totally surprised, unprepared, and reacting with predictable blind and senseless rage.

Hamas have been planning this long enough and they know Israel well enough to know how they would react.

Just like how the reaction of the US to 9/11 was exactly anticipated by bin Laden to “bring the far enemy close”, Hamas must be operating with a clear and planned concept of Israel’s genocidal reaction.

Meaning they must have some next step planned. But what?

I think they’ve got israel in some kind of zwugzwang or whatever you call that chess move cliche.

Israel choosing some genocidal collective retribution while not actually invading gaza seems to be the obvious reaction, and invading gaza seems the less likely but still plausible alternative. What happens after that and how does Hamas see it as playing into their hands?

“Delegitimization” seems unlikely since Israel doesn’t give a fuck if you think they’re legitimate so long as Uncle Sam and Germany are writing them blank checks. So Hamas must be anticipating some material change on the ground.

🟢 Hamas: — The occupation's massacre against families displaced under bombing is a heinous crime that only increases our people's determination to adhere to their land.

The horrifying massacre committed by the zionist occupation against the displaced people from our Palestinian nation in the steadfast Gaza Strip, which claimed 70 martyrs, including children and women, and left more than 200 wounded and injured, reveals the extent of its lies, deception, and misleading. This comes after suspicious calls it made for our people to leave their homes, only for them to be directly targeted in a heinous crime that will forever stand as evidence of its terrorism and aggression.

In the face of the ongoing war of annihilation that the occupation wages against our people in the steadfast Gaza Strip, we, in the Hamas movement, affirm that these crimes and systematic violations, in light of American and Western complicity and bias, and their double standards policy in dealing with our just cause and the legitimate rights of our people, will not succeed in breaking the will of our people who stand united with their resistance, rejecting all forms of displacement and expulsion from their land.

All this fake shit about "beheading babies" keeps reminding me of this bigfoot scene from RDR:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js_RiCjzm44

Especially with how stubborn people from the West are with believing this lie. "You behead babies".

Anyone know what the take in Rojava is on Palestine? Are they going to be massive opportunists that fuck over Palestinians by teaming up with Israel and the US if Syria gets dragged into this?
