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.

Hamas delegation visited Moscow in 2022

May 12, 2022

After meeting with Russian officials, Abu Marzouk said in statements to Al-Mayadeen TV on May 5, “New equations are being imposed today in the global system, and there is an opportunity to change the status quo in the global system for the benefit of the oppressed in the world.”

He added that the change in the world order would affect the future of Israel.

“Talks with Russian officials, however, were more focused on developing Russian support for the Palestinians, taking relations between Hamas and Moscow to new, advanced levels, and breaking the Israeli siege imposed on the Gaza Strip since 2007,” he added.

Head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip Yahya Sinwar announced during a speech in Gaza on April 30 that the maritime line to break the Israeli siege imposed on the Gaza Strip will be inaugurated in the coming period in coordination with the “Jerusalem axis,” in reference to mainly Iran and Hezbollah — an axis that brings together interests and an alliance with Moscow on several international issues, most notably the Syrian conflict.

Mudallal said that it was not likely for relations between Moscow and Hamas to develop to the extent that Moscow would provide Hamas with weapons and money, adding, “Such support can be done in indirect ways, through Iran and Hezbollah, which have forged an alliance with Moscow in the face of the United States in many international issues, most notably the Syrian issue.”

From 2017: Weather flight critical to Coalition ISR mission

🔶️ “When you are watching for vehicle traffic or personnel traffic, you are not looking for something that is very big,” said Master Sgt. Tommy Tam. “You have to get into some very fine detailed imagery and if a cloud is blocking that, then it impacts the mission.”

🔶️ “From an (intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_111830.htm)) standpoint the biggest issue they will come across is cloud cover,” he said. “It seems pretty innocent; just because you have a cloud in the sky doesn’t mean you have bad weather, but it is a direct impact to what they are able to do.”

https://www.acc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/1166751/weather-flight-critical-to-coalition-isr-mission/

Kind of interesting.

Makes me wonder why more effort hasn't been put into the ability to produce clouds as a military tactic. Or maybe it has and I've just missed it. Seems like it would be very useful.

Rybar's 13.00 October 15, 2023 sitrep

spoiler❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 (https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB) Aggravation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone

situation as of 13.00 October 15, 2023

🔻North direction:

▪️ Local authorities recommended that residents of Sderot and presumably Ashdod evacuate in the direction of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Eilat.

▪️ Israeli troops killed a Hamas militant in the area of Kibbutz Nir Am.

▪️ Palestinian forces launched rocket attacks on IDF forces east of Mefalsim, as well as on Sderot.

🔻Border with Lebanon:

▪️Hezbollah militants shelled the village of Shtula: three people were wounded, one was killed. The Nurit border post also came under fire - the group’s fighters even announced its capture, but in reality the facility continues to be controlled by the IDF. Arab sources mistook (https://t.me/LebUpdate/31879) the symbols of the Israeli Tsanhanim brigade for the Hezbollah flag in the video. The group also reported the defeat of the Merkava tank.

▪️ The IDF carried out retaliatory strikes on the Ayta al-Shab area, as well as Ramiya and Rmeish.

▪️ The Lebanese side announced the death of Hossein Kamal al-Masri, who died earlier after shelling by Israeli troops in the south of the country.

▪️ The IDF command issued a ban on visiting the four-kilometer border zone.

🔻 Gaza Strip:

▪️Israeli troops continue to launch mass attacks on the Gaza Strip: according to the IDF, as a result of one of the attacks on Khan Yunis, Bilala al-Kedru, the commander of the Nukhba detachment, who led the attacks on Nirim and Nir Oz, was eliminated .

▪️ Israeli authorities have given Gazans three more hours to evacuate to the south of the enclave.

▪️ There is deterioration in weather conditions in the region, which may affect the timing of the start of the IDF ground operation.

🔻 West Bank:

▪️Clashes between Palestinians and law enforcement officials continue. Violence erupted in Tulkarm, Tarqumiya, Nablus and Hebron, among others.

🔻 Political background:

▪️Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the IDF’s actions in the Gaza Strip “went beyond self-defense.”
