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.

The darkhorse of this conflict are the 2 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, they make up 21% of Israeli population

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Palestinian resistance does not target children, and Western media outlets must ensure accuracy and not blindly side with the zionist narrative filled with lies and slanders.

We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, firmly deny the fabricated allegations promoted by some Western media outlets, which unprofessionally adopt the zionist narrative full of lies and slanders against our Palestinian people and their resistance. The latest of these was the claim of killing children, beheading them, and targeting civilians. We consider this adoption and bias towards the zionist narrative without verification as nothing but a media downfall in an attempt to cover up the crimes of the occupation and its massacres committed day and night in Gaza.

These actions amount to war crimes and genocide by targeting civilians, cutting off electricity, water, food, and medical supplies.

The Palestinian resistance and Al-Qassam Brigades targeted the zionist military and security system in the Al-Aqsa Storm battle, which are legitimate targets. At the same time, they aimed to avoid civilians. Many field video clips witnessed this, and many settlers spoke about it with documented testimonies through the media.

The biased Western media outlets, which favor the zionist narrative, failed to mention the extent of zionist criminality against our people in the Gaza Strip, which completely wiped out entire neighborhoods, bombed residential buildings over the heads of their residents, leading to the killing of 950 Palestinian civilians so far, including 260 children and 230 women, all killed without prior warning.

This zionist crime can only be described as genocide and war crimes. We, therefore, call on these Western media outlets to be objective and professional in reporting and covering the events of the zionist aggression and not to blatantly and blindly adopt the zionist narrative.

Did a bit more legwork around Tallinn to see what colours the Riigikogu is in. It's still the ukkkraine colours. Also swung past Tornimäe and at least one of the towers is in the Pissnotreal colours, along with many light poles.

Additionally, the South African government continues it's trademark actions of claiming to support Palestine, but doing little more than Ramaphosa keeping his hand in his pants, which certainly hasn't gone unnoticed. Come on when are you imposing sanctions, severing relations by shutting down the embassy in Pretoria (along with any consulates in other cities) and banning El Al from the airspace?

I see a lot of "Hamas are terrorists and therefore bad", but not a lot of concrete examples. The music festival was held next to a concentration camp on stolen land. Regardless of if Hamas intended a massacre at the festival or not, I can't see how you could argue that adults attending that festival didn't know what they were getting into. I think you could certainly argue that they didn't need to be killed (I would agree), but there is essentially no context given (how was the IOF/Police involved, etc.).

The 40 decapitated babies were clearly a lie, they essentially admitted it immediately.

It seems to me that all the violence committed by Hamas is essentially a statistical error in the context of the broader conflict, and that prefacing every statement with a condemnation of Hamas as terrorists only legitimizes the Israeli crybully approach of talking about how they're so victimized and they need to practice self-care by flattening the entire Gaza strip.

What I see, concretely, is that the Israeli state is continuing what it has always done, and that sources are claiming that 90% of the settlers do not intent to return to the stolen land after being "terrorized". While westerners swear that they support Palestine, but wring their hands about Hamas terrorists as Israel kills thousands of children, what I think many people who are victims of colonization around the world will see is that terrorism is the only thing that colonizers respond to, and that all peaceful resistance will get you is hypocritical thoughts and prayers from Twitter-addicted liberals who will forget you ever lived long before your body is cold.

1PM Oct 10 Rybar sitrep

spoiler🔻North direction: ▪️ Soldiers of the Maglan special forces worked on a group of Hamas militants heading towards Kibbutz Zakim. The Palestinians responded by firing rockets at the populated area itself.

🔻Eastern direction: ▪️At night, Palestinian forces entered Kibbutz Saad in two vehicles, but retreated after a short shooting battle. The raid on neighboring Nahal Oz also ended in failure for them. ▪️ IDF units managed to regain control over most territories, but attacks by Palestinian groups continue.

🔻 West Bank: ▪️ Clashes continue in the region near Bethlehem and Jenin, as well as at the Salem checkpoint and the village of Einab. ▪️ Youth protests in the areas of Jerusalem, Burqa, Al - Eizariya, Hebron and Nablus do not subside - law enforcement officers respond with mass arrests. ▪️ However, there are no signs of a mass uprising in the West Bank yet.

🔻Border with Lebanon: ▪️Information appeared about a landing of Palestinian forces in the Golan Heights and Upper Galilee, but later IDF representatives denied this information. ▪️ The IDF confirmed the death of the deputy commander of the 300th Brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Elim Abdullah, during yesterday's fighting in the border area.

🔻 Gaza Strip: ▪️ Massive attacks on the Gaza Strip continue: according to the local Ministry of Health, the death toll in the region has exceeded 770 people, at least four thousand injured. ▪️ Israeli Navy missile boats are also targeting the enclave from the coastal strip. ▪️ For the second time in a day, the Israeli Air Force struck the Rafah border crossing, which only this morning was restored to allow residents to leave for Egypt. At the moment, travel through the checkpoint has been stopped again.
