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 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.

Head of Gaza’s largest hospital says 35,000 people are sheltering in hospital complex

Medical officials say an estimated 35,000 people have crammed into the grounds of Gaza City’s main hospital, seeking refugee ahead of an expected Israeli ground offensive.

Mohammad Abu Selim, general director of Shifa Hospital, confirmed that massive crowds had thronged the building and the courtyard outside. Shifa is the largest hospital in the entire Gaza Strip.

“People think this is the only safe space after their homes were destroyed and they were forced to flee,” said Dr. Medhat Abbas, a Health Ministry official. “Gaza City is a frightening scene of devastation.”

The Israeli military has ordered roughly half of Gaza’s population, including all of Gaza City, to evacuate as it prepares to send in ground forces.

Israel has been bombing Gaza for the past week, killing more than 2,200 so far in response to a cross-border Hamas attack that killed over 1,300 Israelis.

Miller declined to characterize Wang’s response, but said the U.S. believes it and China have a shared interest in Middle East stability.

I'm sure others have already talked about this, but yesterday's Hersh article talks about Israel's upcoming plans:

Essentially, Israeli command is not confident in their ability to fight house to house in Gaza. Instead, they are going to simply flatten northern Gaza, first with a general bombing campaign and then with "bunker buster" bombs that have a supposed half mile kill radius.
I would imagine this will begin as soon as weather permits - it might have started already, if they could.

A picture is worth a thousand words. You could tell none of them like that genocidal ghoul. It's all fun and games talking comparing Palestinians with animals when you're not the one who has to crawl through the tunnels.

Sources confirm to me that Israel is carrying out a probing attack on multiple fronts in the Gaza Strip.

No reports of incursion as of now.

Take with pinch of salt. It's night time. The information gathered from probing at night is gonna be shit.

So the Palestinian death toll the media is using is probably exclusively civilians, right? Since it comes from the Palestinian health ministry? And the Israeli number is like 3/4 soldiers?

Israel is not interested in waging a war on two fronts, in particular with the Hezbollah movement, and does not intend to aggravate the situation on the Lebanese-Israeli border unless the Shiite movement itself does so, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant said on Sunday.

He noted that Israel would "respect the situation along the border" if Hezbollah "does not intervene in the conflict."

I don't think this is different to the one I already posted, just another channel reporting the same thing in different words. Has a bit more from the Israel Defence(offence) Minister though.

Sharing this with the caveat that I have no idea of the veracity of the claims made or who it is who posted this (a Turkish tech bro?).

Another Israeli Manipulation is collapsing.

In a nutshell;

*Israeli police killed Jewish youth at the festival site.

*Resisters treated the hostages very well.

The girl taken hostage by the resistance at the festival in the desert spoke to Israel Radio;

"During this time the terrorists did not harm us, they even gave us the opportunity to drink and calmed us down while we panicked. The situation was really scary, but we were lucky that no one hurt us. For about two hours, no security forces were with us and we had to wait for the police to arrive. In the end, we were rescued and I'm with my friends now."

A girl named Yasmine claims that Israeli police blew up houses and they barely escaped.

"When the police came, they started shooting everywhere and I went outside with a gunman who talked to me. Four people were dead outside, I think the police killed them. Then they arrested the gunman and opened heavy fire on the hostages and the gunmen inside, killing them all."

It is likely that many Jewish youth on the festival grounds were also killed by Israeli soldiers.

The radio audio recording is attached.

Broadcast please. Please show it, especially to the whiney bunch of whiners who can't take a pro-Zionist stance like a young man.

#Gazagenocide #Palestine #IsraelTerrorists

There was a dubbed version of the audio, but I can't seem to find it now and it wasn't a very clear translation.

This does seem to check out with the bits of info that have come out about the festival, like the video showing IDF(?) shooting from within a crowd of people.

Edit

I finally learned the name of the woman who made the Gaza vid I wanted to rewatch and share: Journalist Plestia Alaqad.

I'll put the vid in a new comment after I find it. I only kept my comment about google and I deleted the rest because fuck google and [redacted].

Also and sincerely I give a big "fuck you" to google. They keep spamming my Gaza video searches with vile hasbara video spam that's in high rotation on CNN, MSNBC, etc. If I wanted that - I'd type "Israel" and not "Gaza" - google fuckers.

Israel Army Says Suspected Aerial 'Infiltration' From Lebanon

By AFP - Agence France Presse

The Israeli army reported Wednesday a "suspected infiltration" from Lebanon into Israeli air space while sirens blared in cities and towns across Israel's northern border.

The army's Home Front Command asked resident of the cities of Beit Shean, Safed and Tiberias to shelter "until further notice" fearing a "large-scale attack".

No link because that's the entire article.
