Friendly reminder: when commenting about a news event, especially something that just happened, please provide a source of some kind. While ideally this would be on nitter or archived, any source is preferable to none at all given.

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.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

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, though we will switch next week to a new country.


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

The weekly (biweekly?) 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.

Liberals are so fucking unhinged. Now they’re calling leftists opposed to Zionism “tankies “

Hopefully someone comes up with a good retort that catches fire and exposes it for the meaningless term it is. A westoid in the imperial core calling someone a tankie like it means shit lmfao

🇻🇪🇬🇾Venezuela proposes the creation of a state to annex the area in dispute with Guyana

The National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela announced this Monday the questions that citizens will answer in the consultative referendum on December 3.

Venezuelans will decide whether or not they agree “with the creation of the Guayana Esequiba state” and that “an accelerated plan be developed for the comprehensive care of the current and future population of that territory that includes, among others, the granting of citizenship and Venezuelan identity card,” indicated the president of the CNE, Elvis Amoroso.

Guatemala is trying to pull another Arbenz, except this guy is more like Bernie than Arbenz. The US is actually supportive of the president-elect this time around. It's probably because his foreign policy isn't that much different from Boric's in Chile. Very anti-Russia, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. He seems to want more trade with China though while still wishing to recognize Taiwan.

Lula has also thrown in his support. The guy may not be the most radical, but it's nice to see a somewhat left-wing candidate in our country get some international support over the right-wing.

I've noticed the caricatures of Americans where I live has changed over the years. It used to be a fat, sunburned asshole with cargo shorts and a bucket hat screaming angrily. Women were portrayed as blonde babes showing lots of skin and sleeping with everyone.

Now it's more of an effeminate man who acts stereotypically gay and speaks flamboyantly while flaunting expensive products. American women are depicted as having too much plastic surgery and fillers with an extremely promiscuous attitude.

Israel is doing the "source: trust me bro" thing again but they now don't even hand over the materials about the claimed atrocities to journalists in fear of them maybe examining them.

There is ongoing rocket and mortar fire out of Gaza basically on and off all day. I'm a little over posting all of them at this point so I won't, we're essentially past the point of this being a short event now unless a political miracle happens.

I'll be posting any notable interesting things that are different to the usual routine fighting and bombardment. Along with any of the good propaganda I come across.

Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone thinks this is burnout. It's more like avoiding the stuff that has now become routine.

Large crowds have gathered in central London for a demonstration in support of the Palestinian people, with tens of thousands expected to take to the streets. A pro-Palestinian rally in London last week drew an estimated 100,000 people, and similar numbers are expected today.

Demonstrations are also planned today in Manchester, England, and in Glasgow.

In her address to the UN General Assembly, US ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said that it is “outrageous” the word “Hamas” is not mentioned.

“The Arab ambassadors say that they do not want to make this document political. That is why they say there’s not a need to include the word Hamas in there,” Elizondo said.

The amount of pure hatred I feel towards the U.S. ugh.

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

Steadfast, steadfast...Gaza will not bow! Our resistance is a continuous benefit until the defeat of the occupation and liberation.

Note:

The video features a Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades fighter on the first day of Al-Aqsa Flood: "From east of Khuza'a, we say to this zionist enemy, liberation is certainly close."

It also features a compilation of Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades operations in the last two weeks, and excerpts from PFLP Deputy Secretary-General Jamil Mezher's speech on October 17th:

"We tell this criminal enemy: No matter how many bloody massacres you commit, our people will not leave, but will remain steadfast and firm on their land. Our people will not leave, regardless of the sacrifices made."

"We call upon the masses of our people in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the 1948 territories to rise up in a comprehensive intifada against the occupation."

"We urge the Arab masses to mobilize en masse to the squares and fields and besiege the US and zionist embassies in their countries."

"Despite the bombardment, destruction, and genocidal war waged by the enemy against our people, and despite the American and Western complicity, our people and our resistance are achieving heroic feats. They will pave will pave the way for the decisive victory."

"The battle continues, and victory is certainly an ally of the Palestinian people and their valiant resistance."

Al Jazeera:

Gaza right now

Israeli air raids have destroyed hundreds of buildings in the Gaza Strip overnight, the civil defence service in Gaza has said.
“Hundreds of buildings and houses were completely destroyed and thousands of other homes were damaged,” Mahmud Bassal, a spokesman for the Gaza Civil Defence told AFP, adding that the intense bombardments had “changed the landscape” of northern Gaza.

The final sentence: "WhatsApp and iMessage are not delivering, and when using the internet to call, it just rings endlessly."

"I don’t know if they are safe or not": Family members left in dark after communications go down in Gaza

People who have family in Gaza tell CNN they have not been able to contact them after communications went down in the enclave following heavy airstrikes.

Jawwal, the Palestinian telecom company that provides mobile service to the Gaza Strip released a statement Friday night saying "the intense bombardment in the past hour has resulted in the destruction of all remaining international routes connecting Gaza with the outside world" leading to a "complete interruption of telecommunications services".

Said Alhayek, 42, from Las Vegas, said he has not been able to reach his family in Gaza.

“It’s like sitting in the dark not knowing what is going to hit you, I can’t reach them on any medium of communication at this point, I can’t even know if they are okay or not, I don’t know if they are safe or not," Alhayek said. "Also, the fact that they cut off communication, makes us feel as though they are about to do something terrible.” Adli Anwar, 57, who is living in Ottowa, Canada, also said he has no way of communicating with his family.

“I can’t get anything — about three hours ago, we lost all communications, no phones, no internet, nothing. Before it would connect, about 80% of the time, and now it’s zero percent. It doesn’t get to the international line," Anwar said.

CNN tried calling several contacts with Gaza numbers over the last hour, both over international calling and over WhatsApp. On the international calls, they either go straight to voicemail or an automated message says “the number you are calling is currently unreachable. Please try again later.”

WhatsApp and iMessage are not delivering, and when using the internet to call, it just rings endlessly.
