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.

What chain of events would need to happen in order for Israel to fall without using their nukes? The nukes are probably the only reason other countries haven't intervened yet, and I'm not really seeing how that changes regardless of how much Israel ramps up the Palestinian genocide. What is the bloomer take on freeing Palestine?

Despite the police ban on rallies in support of Palestine, hundreds of people gathered at the Islam Gymkhana on Friday evening to express their solidarity with the people of Gaza, who have been facing relentless Israeli airstrikes for over 10 days

The World Food Program and other organizations sent tons of food and other emergency supplies to help the Palestinian people.

Erdogan blamed Israel for the strike on a hospital in Gaza and condemned the attack

In response, Israel's National Security Council recommended that the Israelis leave Turkey immediately.

Also, the Israel Defense Forces claim they do not know whose missile hit the hospital: “It is too early to say whether it was an Israeli strike,” said IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari.

Pretty sure I can explain the video going around of the supposed "Hamas rocket misfire".

It's a MANPADS missile that self destructs in the air. It was probably fired by Hamas at an incoming plane. Look up videos of MANPADS. The small explosion of fragments they make looks exactly like the one in the video in the air.

The other two explosions on the ground are almost certainly Israeli bombs.

Edit: Even the flight time of the missile matches. The Stinger missile (easiest equivalent to find info on) flies for up to 15-19 seconds which roughly matches the flight time in the video - after which it automatically self destructs.

A three-pulse motor provides additional acceleration and maneuverability during the terminal phase

This is from a different missile, but I believe the concept applies generally in anti-air missiles, and it explains the sudden speed-up and smoke trail before self destruction.

Edit2: And we have seen proof that Hamas has Iranian MANPADS

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I saw this and found it interesting/telling. From about 30 seconds onwards, it kinda sounds like the DoD preparing the population for a major confrontation.

Putin’s press conference following the results of the “One Belt, One Road” forum

spoiler

🔻 Israeli conflict:

▪️ The attack on the hospital in Gaza is a terrible event, a disaster, perhaps it will serve as a reason for negotiations.

▪️ The countries of the Middle East do not want the continuation of hostilities and the outbreak of a full-fledged war.

▪️ There are prerequisites that the main players do not want the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to deepen.

▪️ Russia has always advocated the creation of an independent Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem, regardless of the escalation of the conflict.

🔻 SMO zone:

▪️ ATACMS deliveries to Ukraine are harmful and pose an additional threat, but Russia will adapt to repel such attacks. The United States is being drawn even further into the conflict in Ukraine by supplying long-range missiles.

▪️ ATACMS missiles will not radically change the situation on the contact line. The supply of these weapons will only prolong the agony of Ukraine.

▪️ The Kyiv regime has long announced an offensive in the Kherson direction: there is no result, but there are losses.

▪️ The Russian Aerospace Forces will begin constant patrolling of the airspace over the Black Sea by aircraft equipped with the Kinzhal complexes.

▪️The President noted that peace negotiations with Ukraine do not require “theatrical gestures,” but the repeal of Kyiv’s decree banning such negotiations.

The US president made a speech in Israel on Wednesday (18). Alongside Netanyahu, Biden said that Hamas is worse than ISIS and blamed what he calls "the other side" for the attacks on the hospital in Gaza.

Ofer Cassif suspended by Knesset Ethics Committee for 45 days and no pay for 2 weeks after speaking out about the war on Gaza in relation to the genocidal policies of the Holocaust.

Hadash, his party, is the only Arab-Jewish party in a country where 25% of the population is Arab.

In April 2021, Cassif was assaulted by police officers at a protest against evictions in East Jerusalem. He was investigated for striking the policeman first.

in an interview with Haaretz, Cassif said: "I object to the ideology and practice of Zionism... it's a racist ideology and practice which espouses Jewish supremacy." Cassif identifies as a Marxist and a socialist.

In 2023, Cassif told Al Jazeera that his party had repeatedly warned that continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories would lead to events like the October 2023 Gaza−Israel conflict, where innocent civilians on both sides pay the price. He called the Israeli government "fascist" and accused it of carrying out pogroms and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian population.

The principal military advantage of an air burst over a ground burst is that the energy from the explosion (as well as any shell fragments) is distributed more evenly over a wider area; however, the peak energy is lower at ground zero.
