Israel trying to pass the hospital bombing off as Palestine doing it is utterly disgusting and guarantees Netanyahu a spot in the deepest pit of Hell for all eternity, obviously, but do not forget that

a) the only reason why Westerners will believe it is because they want to believe it - they are not being brainwashed and this is not some masterful propaganda being weaved around us to turn kind-hearted people into monsters,

b) no Westerner opinions matter at all. In most Western countries there is no real anti-Israel option to vote for even if they did realize that Israel was a giant factory for crimes against humanity, and Westerners protesting against things in general almost never achieves anything (tens of millions protested for BLM in 2020 and not only did the situation not change, it got worse), and

c) the people whose opinions do matter (both the people in the region, and the leaders who aren't already Zionist compradors) already know that Israel is full of shit and that they just murdered nearly a thousand civilians in a single bomb attack.

It is despair-inducing to think that the genocidal Zionist entity is so brazenly, so smugly getting away with bullshitting this away into a cloud of confusion, as they release their metaphorical squid ink just like they did with the stupid babies story, but the propaganda and the media narrative that they are creating isn't what matters. It cannot address the fundamental contradictions ripping the country, the region, and the world apart any more than masterfully-applied makeup can fix a stab wound. It can merely obfuscate.


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:

UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
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 still Palestine! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants.


Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.

The weekly update isn't coming because I'm sick and too focussed on the collapse of the Zionist entity.

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.

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/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.

This news is ~2 hours old.

Iran says 'preemptive action' by resistance front expected in coming hours | Reuters

Iran's top envoy said that a "preemptive action" could be expected in the coming hours, state TV reported on Monday, adding that Israel will not be allowed to take any action in the Gaza Strip without facing consequences.

I assume it's saber rattling but it's still kind of odd he mentioned in hours.

Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, warned Iran on Sunday that “if this war grows, it’s coming to your backyard.” Speaking from Tel Aviv after leading a delegation of 10 senators through Saudi Arabia and Israel, Graham said, “If there’s an effort to unleash Hezbollah on the Jewish state to destroy it, my attention will be to Tehran.”

Here's a little snippet of Cold War history that I thought was interesting but don't know where else to post

spoilerExcerpt from the Senior Research Staff on International Communism's "Proposal for U.S. Action in South Korea" (1960) to the Director of Central Intelligence (Allen Dulles):

During the past two years, SRS has commented on the mounting political hubris against a background of economic corruption which has infected Syngman Rhee, or at least the circles surrounding and perhaps dominating this once venerable hero and leader. In our concern with the study of International Communism, we have pointed out that this course in South Korea was rapidly reaching the point, where, if free elections were held, a majority of South Koreans might well opt for union with the North as a protest.

[...] There would undoubtedly be many who would be shocked or offended by American espousal of the principle of a limited military dictatorship in an allied country. A little reflection should suggest, however, that the forms of democracy which we have approved in Korea, Vietnam and Taiwan have indeed been premature. Inevitably they have led to paternalistic dictatorship, whether by a venerable national hero, a closely knit family, or a tight monopolistic party clinging to the essentially non-democratic forms of an international past. In those areas where our influence, less decisive but perhaps more constructive, has benevolently encouraged patriotic and incorruptible military leaders to assume the responsibility of truly "guiding" the formation of democracy, the results have been promising.

When your veneer of being a democracy cannot be upheld any longer and there's the threat of the people voting for the wrong thing, America turns you into a military dictatorship. This is not paternalistic, it's benevolent, and the beginning of your path to becoming a true democracy!

I'm trying to figure out the proper way to say this but:

Am I wrong for assuming that there are likely mossad/IDF cyberspies on other instances like .world? I'm just trying to make sure that my mental health isn't deteriorating due to paranoia, but these motherfuckers are hardheaded as shit over there and it's kinda feeling pointless to try and provide any kind of "opposing perspective"(like the fuckin truth).

🔴 The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

The strikes of the Axis of Resistance against the forces of aggression will make history.

The strikes carried out by the Axis of Resistance against the zionist-American forces of aggression in all fields and arenas of confrontation constitute the most effective response to the escalation of the aggression camp in its war of genocide and crimes against our people.

The heroic exploits undertaken by the men and forces of the resistance, each from his position, will be witnessed by the history of our nation and the world. They are the ones who will achieve victory and defeat the coalition of aggression.

The fires of the resistance have been consuming the aggressor's army at the hands of the heroes of Hezbollah from the start of the aggression. Meanwhile, the heroes of the resistance in Iraq rose with their stance and angry supportive actions before they launched the noble Arab people's fire fire on the American occupation bases, epitome of evil and aggression. When the Yemeni lightning strikes the fleets of the American aggression, it confirms the unity of the nation and reflects the solidarity between the oppressed and downtrodden peoples and the forces of resistance against the colonial invaders.

This emphasizes that continuing to target the interests and bases of American terrorism and its zionist agents serves as a protective shield for our people, especially after America, Britain, and France took the Security Council and UN institutions hostage to the will and policy of American-zionist terrorism.

The Front extends its condolences to the families of the martyrs of the resistance in Lebanon and to the leadership of the resistance, which has never abandoned Palestine for a single day. The Front salutes its heroes in all arenas, emphasizing that this cohesion and rallying around Palestine by the Axis of Palestine, in defense of its people, and the convergences of their fire and positions with the resisting Palestinians within the occupied homeland, will defeat the aggression and open the doors to victory and liberation.

In conclusion, the Front emphasizes that our people's confidence in the Axis of Resistance is great. The Front underscores the importance of supporting this heroic effort, tremendous revolutionary work, and the unified confrontation confrontation strategy. This is achieved by rallying the masses of our nation and the free people of the world, escalating their activities, besieging the embassies of the forces of aggression in all countries worldwide, and fighting against the bases of the American evil and its interests.

This is in defense of our oppressed, patient, resistant, and steadfast people in Palestine in the face of the war of extermination and in rejection of all attempts and plots of displacement.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine

Really good thread on hospital bombing here including directionality and potential munitions, tldr potentially an IDF artillery shell but unsure. Point is that it was the IDF

Thread

Does anyone have a link to that clip showing the similarities between the hospital bombing and a JDAM blast in I think Afghanistan? It also had a part showing what a Hamas rocket looks like. I'm trying to send it to someone.

The Palestinian Red Crescent says at least three Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank and 78 others have been injured.

A general strike was declared in cities across the West Bank and Palestinians have been taking to the streets to protest the deadly Gaza hospital attack.

The Red Crescent said the wounded victims fall into one of four categories based on the nature of their injuries:

  • 13, live fire
  • 3, assault and battery
  • 3, shrapnel
  • 59, tear gas inhalation

It added that at least 23 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank and 1,399 others have been injured since the start of the Hamas-Israel war on October 7.

OPEC plans no immediate action after Iran urges Israel oil embargo, sources say

Four sources from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which produces a third of the world's oil and includes several Muslim countries including Iran, said that no immediate action or emergency meetings were planned by the group in light of Iran's comments.

"We are not a political organisation," one of the sources said.

On Tuesday, the Gulf Cooperation Council secretary-general when asked whether Arab countries should reduce oil production in retaliation for Israel's actions in Gaza, said that the GCC was committed to energy security and shouldn't use oil as a weapon.

That is why I call them deputies. If any ME country try to become democratic the deputies by the help of the sheriff will suppress them and if people succeed like in Egypt the sheriff will assign a new deputy.

Still no Iran and still no ground invasion. Just a continual death by dehydration and bombardment of trapped Palestinians. Biden going to come in tomorrow and water will probably get turned back on a small inadequate amount but enough for them to say they did it. Palestinians still suffer, US gets to look like they did something positive even though they’re overwhelmingly evil in this. Feels like the worst outcome
