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.

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.

“🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades military spokesman Abu Obeida: — We assure the enemy that the reckoning be harsh and painful. We will not let their crimes against our people and our lands pass.

The support of the American administration for the zionist entity will not save or aid it.

No force in the world can eliminate our strength.

We call on the masses of our nation everywhere to defend their dignity and their Al-Aqsa.

We call on the masses of our nation to march to the borders of Palestine.

The enemy is currently at its worst state in 75 years.

We call on the free people of the world to mobilize and gather in front of the embassies of the enemy and the United States worldwide.

We reassure our people that the resistance still controls course of the field and knows when to strike.

We are prepared for a prolonged battle

Rybar end of day sitrep October 19 2023

spoiler❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Aggravation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone

what is known by the end of October 19, 2023

mass strikes by IDF aviation and artillery on the Gaza Strip continue. The Israelis methodically carry out goals known to them alone, the Palestinians report every minute about civilian casualties. The attacks are mainly concentrated to the northwest of Gaza, in the Sheikh Radwan area, Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya, but also to populated areas to the south, such as Rafah and Khan Yunis. In the latter, several strikes occurred near the Gamal Abdel Nasser Hospital.

In response, the Palestinians fire rockets at nearby towns and military bases. In particular, Netivot, Beersheba, Segev Shalom and Ashkelon and Ashdod suffered. Rumors are spreading online about the evacuation of residents from Ashkelon, where about 130 thousand people lived before the conflict.

In the West Bank, protests by Arab youth continue in all major settlements, leading to clashes with the police. The situation is especially difficult in Tulkarm. At night, IDF forces carried out an operation to demolish the house of an alleged terrorist, which resulted in a full-fledged urban battle. Clashes are still going on, Palestinian sources talk about 14 Arabs killed, and the Israelis have ten wounded and one dead as a result of an IED explosion.

The situation on the Israeli-Lebanese border has worsened significantly. Hezbollah again carried out several strikes on various targets at Israeli military bases and observation posts, and after that the Lebanese branch of the Al-Qassam Brigades launched 30 rockets at IDF-controlled settlements in the Western Galilee. In addition, a rocket hit a nine-story building in Kiryat Shmona. Three civilians were injured, including a five-year-old girl. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the shelling.

I just want to comment that this org has remained consistently accurate so far.

What I don't completely understand is why would Israel bother lying about bombing those people? If they are ashamed of killing that many innocents they certainly don't show it with all the other hospital, mosque, and refugee bombings. The west isn't going to meaningfully get in their way either way. They can kill as many innocents as they wish, Europeans and more importantly, Americans do not care

Kind of surprised whenever the news actually airs an interview with a protestor that calls what Israel is doing genocide. Of course its buried between a bunch of other propaganda, but at least there a small bit of hope of someone seeing that and questioning the narrative.

The united Arab masses take to the streets in support of Gaza, its resistance and of its beloved siblings in the rest of occupied Palestine. Marches and demonstrations are taking place in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Qatar, Egypt and more.

Too many videos, watch them in the post instead: https://t.me/PalestineResist/15895

◾️Spain Social Rights Minister Ione Belarra accused Israel of "attempted genocide" in Gaza - calls for Netanyahu to be brought before the International Criminal Court in the Hague:

  • Israel is carrying out a planned genocide in the Gaza Strip, leaving hundreds of thousands of people without light, food and water, and carrying out bombings on the civilian population... the United States and the European Union are not just looking the other way, they are encouraging the State of Israel in its policy of apartheid...

  • The European Union must stop being complicit with a war criminal like Netanyahu... Israel must feel international pressure to end the bombing through all measures at our disposal, such as an arms embargo or sanctions... The European Union must deploy all its diplomatic efforts to end Israel's occupation and apartheid of Palestine, which is the root cause of the conflict.

Business Insider writes an article that screams projection and crying about the Chinese communists not thinking about the poor landlords.

It’s official: The era of China’s global dominance is over

We've reached the end of an era for the Chinese economy.

For the past three decades, China has been on the upswing of a supercycle that saw an almost uninterrupted expansion of the country's capacity to manufacture, appetite to consume, and ability to project power across the world economy. The Chinese Communist Party relentlessly pursued economic development over all else, even when that single-mindedness pushed the party to make debilitating policy mistakes — creating a massive bubble in the property market, saddling provinces with loads of debt, and failing to transition away from an overreliance on investment. There was no time to stop for corrections while China's mind was on money alone.

This era of expansion was not only a boon for Beijing, it also helped fuel global demand. Countries relied on China's hunger for speedy modernization and industrial might to supercharge their own development. Even American companies saw China as the next great global market — and made bets accordingly.

They lost those bets.

China's leader, Xi Jinping, has shifted the CCP's raison d'être to national security over the economy. Getting rich isn't China's big project anymore; the project is power. As a result, both the government's priorities and its behavior have changed. In the past, whenever it seemed that a recession was on the horizon, the CCP came to the rescue. There's no hefty stimulus coming this time. Nor will the explosive growth that experts once expected from China return. Beijing's relationship with the outside world is no longer guided by the principles of economic rationality, but rather by its yearning for political power.

"This isn't about the economy anymore, it's all about advanced technology and weaponry," Lee Miller, the founder of the Chinese economic surveyor China Beige Book, told me.

In response, American businesses need to consider how else Beijing's decision-making may now be flipped on its axis. For everyone from American farmers to pharmaceutical companies, this means shrinking demand and unstable supply chains. For policymakers, it means a China that is harder to mollify when conflicts arise. For the rest of us, it's a more precarious world.
