Israel-Palestine Conflict

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. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

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.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

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.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

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 Telegram Channels:

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.

So Israel promised to respond to Iran's attack within 24 hours. Where is it? Another "Rafah invasion in the next week" moment?

I love the liberal “we just don’t know” fence-sitting that somehow always sides with State Department narratives. Is there a unicorn hiding in my gaping asshole? There’s no evidence for it, but there’s also no evidence against it. You must respect my lived truth!

Chile's Chamber of Deputies has elected Karol Cariola, from the Communist Party, as its new president. She was elected with 76 votes, against 75 votes for the opposition candidate, Joana Perez Olea.

This is the first time that the Communists have controlled Chile's Chamber of Deputies. The vice-presidency went to the People's Party, with deputy Gaspar Rivas, who was also elected with 76 votes. Eric Aedo, from Christian Democracy, was elected 2nd Vice-President with 76 votes.

The tories are pulling the power from GPs to determine whether a mental health patient is "fit for work" and giving it to "special professionals". IE they're outsourcing to a team of people with no medical qualifications with the goal of taking away the money (PIP) these people need to survive.

Dude set himself on fire outside the Trump trial. His page here:

https://archive.ph/ysP9U

Liberals mock the hypocrisy of conservatives; conservatives mock the hypocrisy of liberals, and our collective circumstances erode. The left shouts “All Cops Are Bastards,” which ensures they’ll be hated by the police and the public (and flies in the face of leftist theory). The public’s distrust of the government is at an all-time high, but so is the belief that we are helpless to do anything about it.

Dude seems brainwormed but he correctly labels "the left" as a separate thing to liberals.

Edit: Looks like libs are latching onto the whackiest part (where the Simpsons comes up) to completely dismiss all of it. This will make an impression on some people though.

EDIT2: Stupidpol and trueanon user. Local crank. Sad stuff.

Think I’ve stumbled onto a pretty big gotcha for the pro-genocide progressives, not that it actually matters. Even if we are to accept the idea that a second Biden term would result in any gains for marginalized groups: these people simultaneously go through the moral calculus of deciding that a genocide is an acceptable trade-off whilst also condemning others for “sacrificing” their rights. It’s clear that, to them, some peoples’ rights matter, and some peoples’ don’t. Their rights are inviolable but they’re perfectly willing to sacrifice an entire population. Consult this helpful chart: us-foreign-policy

They hide behind “lesser-evilism” and invented moral superiority when what they really mean is: I am willing to be complicit in anything and everything so long as it doesn’t affect me.

The sheer fucking gall to accuse others of political callousness when they are willing to engage in this kind of depraved Hitlerian moral calculus for the (smokescreen) sake of “practicality”.

NEW: The U.S. is expected to announce sanctions against the IDF 'Netzah Yehuda' battalion for human rights violations in the occupied West Bank, according to three U.S. sources – Axios

Wiki on them is rather light with not much to say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netzah_Yehuda_Battalion

My assumption here is that the liberals will try to spin IOF atrocities into "a few bad apples" and then scapegoat batallions like this one in order to deflect from it being an iof-wide problem. Essentially create an "Azov" of Israel to deflect through and propagandise around it being "only a thousand people".

Here's a glimpse into the the genocidal mania of the settlers in Israel

Yedioth Ahronoth photographer Shaul Golan says he was attacked by a group of settlers after arriving at the Palestinian village of al-Mughayyir to document the rampage unfolding there.

“I was walking around the village taking pictures when I saw a group of masked Jews emerge from a nearby olive grove, walking around… as if they owned the town. I filmed as they torched homes,” he tells the Ynet news site.

“Then they searched my pockets for a memory card to make sure I didn’t have any recording of what they were doing,” he says.

“I started telling them, ‘I’m not an Arab, I’m a Jew.’ They ran toward me, screaming in terror and grabbed me, shouting, ‘You’re a Jew, how are you not ashamed of yourself?'”

“Some were in IDF uniforms and holding guns. There were 20 or 30 of them who beat me as I shouted for help, hoping that soldiers would hear me. But they were the soldiers… I laid on the floor, as every one of them kicked me in the head and stomach,” Golan says.

“They left me stripped and threw my motorcycle keys into the fire, so I’d have no way to get home. They had hate in their eyes,” he says

China’s economy grew 5.3% in the first quarter, beating expectations

Real estate continues deleveraging, and yet 5.3% GDP growth YoY.

Retail sales growth continues to be sluggish (3.1% vs. 4.6% predicted) and CPI is coming in cool (0.1% vs. 0.3% predicted). My theory for this is that China is actually seeing costs drop more quickly than CPI metrics can keep up. Traditional big-ticket household spending categories are housing, transportation, and education. Housing prices are obviously on the decline, but transportation costs are also decreasing due to the combination of cheaper EVs and an expanding HSR network. Education costs have been clamped down on after the crackdown on private tutoring, while average education outcomes have been raised by the crackdown on gaming. Meanwhile, traditional recurring costs like food and energy have been pushed downward by increasing trade with Russia as well as the rise of cheap solar.

It may be time to revisit the notion of ever-increasing consumption value as being important for economic growth. In this case, you can get the same quality of life with substantially less money. Why spend more to pad the top line retail sales number?

Overall this piece by the intercept is basically stenography of the press releases by the US State Department. Every statement is sourced by them. Also, the picture of the ballistic missile in the article is not the whole missile, but simply a booster stage.

BREAKING: Israel's National Security Minister Ben Gvir says imposing sanctions on an IDF battalion operating in the West Bank is a 'red line' and that he expects the defense minister 'not to submit to American dictates'.

apparently the US isn't even imposing sanctions, they're just applying the Leahy Law to this one particular battalion? sounds like bullshit to me, how can you not fund one battalion in particular?

Reuters: Exclusive: Russia restoring oil refining capacity knocked out by drones

Russia has been able to swiftly repair some of key oil refineries hit by Ukrainian drones, reducing capacity idled by the attacks to about 10% from almost 14% at the end of March, Reuters calculations showed.

Fun fact: Soviet-era refineries were specifically built to withstand damage from bombing. ussr-cry

Russia is repairing its refineries fast, despite difficulties in obtaining Western know-how.

Incredible! Despite their Asiatic brainpans!

in Sydney, an Assyrian priest (pretty popular on youtube and tiktok) was stabbed multiple times mid-service by an attacker - there's video of it on twitter that I won't post, horrifying. the police are holding the attacker in custody outside the church and and people are throwing rocks and stuff at the police trying to get to the attacker. the priest is apparently stable and didn't face any life-threatening injuries.
