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.

A minister resigns!

Bjarni Benediktsson, so called finance minister, has resigned after selling a bank wrong. He is often called Teflon Bjarni by politically conscious Icelanders, this is like his 5th or 6th "get out of politics in shame" worthy scandal.

here is a whole news ticker full of slop for you Hoggers

I don't like RFK Jr but I hope he gets a SHIT ton of votes just to fuck with the Democrats and Republicans and cause absolute chaos in American politics. Hope he makes the three letter agencies panic, too, including the FDA who (although I'm not anti-vax and got my three COVID vaccinations) are way too close to the pharmaceutical industry and directly caused the opioid epidemic (by enabling Purdue to use their insane product labelling) and the baby formula crisis (by banning imported formula from Europe).

Honestly I wonder if the resistance is trying to collapse isn’treal’s economy, the telegram rushed out to report a collapse of the shekel and it looks like they’re targeting infrastructure, at least in retaliation for bombing of Gazan civilians

Gonna be interesting to see what the US does with its carrier group. I'm sure they were sent as a deterrent for any further escalation, but clearly that didn't happen. Are they just going to sit and look on or join the fray? Either way it's gonna be a bad look for the US and they only have themselves to blame for sending the carrier group in the first place.

(military wing of the marxist democratic front)

♦️ National Resistance Brigades (Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces):

Al-Aqsa Flood.

The battle continues.

The National Resistance Brigades (Martyr Omar Al-Qasim Forces) continue to target "israeli" settlements and towns in response to the zionist enemy’s massacres against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.


If anyone is interested I think their site might be https://alhourriah.org I'm sure there's probably struggle session material and brainworms somewhere lmao

I just had a sickening thought.

Israel flattens Gaza City to the ground. And they say their goal of crushing Hamas "remains to be fulfilled". And then they keep moving south destroying everything in their wake. They keep forcing Palestinians to flee south. And those who can't flee - the old, the sick, the infirm, etc. - are killed.

And every once in a while Israel says "Nope. We aren't done crushing Hamas yet. It's funny how that works, right?" Finally after killing 10,000s the continuing bloodbaths have pushed nearly 2 million terrified and exhausted Palestinians all the way to the open desert at/near the Egyptian border. But - of course - Israel keeps shelling the border guaranteeing they can't get out.

The media has gone on and on about the "difficulties of urban warfare" that the IDF faces. Well, there are no "difficulties of urban warfare" when you're terrorized millions of people and made them flee dozens of miles to the open desert where there's no place to hide and there no longer any place to go. I don't even want to imagine what happens at that point.

For the sake of my sanity I should stop googling guests that are on CNN and MSNBC. The following tweet is by recent guest on MSNBC who is a "man with a deep history in the Middle East". He was on a few minutes ago. I said "should" but I can't stop myself from googling for monsters because I keep finding them and doing so is typically a cakewalk. I only need find a recent ghoulish tweet.

The only solution is to "de-Nazifi" any & all terror leaders in Gaza & @qatar. This requires Israel to decapitate the entire structure & end the ability of Hamas leaders in Doha to operate by any means necessary.

Ap News. Havent seen this before.

:i-can-never-find-the-emoji-i-want-with-these-naming-conventions---use-your-imagination:

https://archive.ph/ZlgeB

“Right now, one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 48. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to anyone who dares to join!” Ariel Kallner, a member of parliament from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud, wrote on social media after the Hamas attack.

Anyone have a link to the direct tweet?

"The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a statement Warning against Travel to or being near the Border with Jordan, Egypt, and/or the Sinai Peninsula."

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

Ukrainians and Israelis are big dick alpha males, they don't give a fuck about shit and kill anything that stands in their way. The USA used to be like that before all the men got injected with soy and we elected a communist who stole the election, Brandon. Now the USA doesn't even want to invade Mexico and do a genocide. As a PUA I'm moving to Tel Aviv so some of the machismo of an IDF general who looks like a bad guy from an 80's action move rubs off on me. I need to break my nu-male conditioning and get my ass into a hustle and grindset like Zelenskyy.
