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.

Yo @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net can we have a Israeli crimes documentation thread to keep track of Atrocities in a more organised manner?

I think it's necessary to document them before they're out of the news cycle or forgotten.

One of my new least favorite words now is "fluid".

Example: "There was never a firm commitment by the Israelis and the situation is fluid..."

The border is open. The border is closed. Go to the border or else!

Meanwhile there's a 100 truck convoy of aid trucks from Egypt at the border. Will the border open for them? Who knows. The situation is fluid.

https://www.thepeninsula.org.in/2023/01/25/world-war-3-has-already-started-between-us-and-russia-china-argues-french-scholar/

‘World War 3 has already started’ between US and Russia/China, argues French scholar

Ben Norton reviews the interview given by the prominent French Scholar, Emmanuel Todd. The interview was in French and published in the major French newspaper ‘Le Figaro’. Emmanuel Todd argues the Ukraine proxy war is the start of WWIII, and is “existential” for both Russia and the US “imperial system”, which has restricted the sovereignty of Europe, making Brussels into Washington’s “protectorate”.

Does anyone have the article where Ben Norton does this? I caught this headline and this article is certainly interesting but I'd like to see his full take.

Looking at weather charts for Gaza and can't see fuck all that could be particularly problematic.

It's either bullshit to misdirect Hamas or it's the US stalling Israel because they want to find a way to calm the situation so they aren't dragged into a war. The US doesn't want this distraction in my honest opinion there is nothing they gain from it.

The flag that was raised over the IDF base that was attacked was a red Hezbollah flag. Anyone have any information on its use? Also wondering what the red headbands are? I've used red headbands to ID marxists among the Palestinian forces but I have no idea what groups use red headbands among Hezbollah.

Not sure if this is an old picture or not, for the record.

Actual picture of the flag raised:

And video confirmation:

This was the Al-Rahab military position of the IDF.

EDIT:

Hoisted flag might not be Hezbollah.

I feel compelled to give the Danish mainstream television news a small begruding tip of the hat for not being complete garbage tonight. They had the usual zionist propaganda with grinning stormtroopers outside of the Gaza ghetto boasting about how ready they were for an invasion. But after that they actually spent quite some time letting Palestinians inside the ghetto tell about the terror and desperation the zionist siege and terror bombings put them under.

Of course the existence of Palestinian suffering in the news cycle will not move the satanic racists governing us from supporting the occupation and crying performative crocodile tears for dead settlers but at least it is not as totally one-sided as the Ukraine stuff.
