There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account.
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 Palestine! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.
Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.
The weekly 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.
Last week's discussion post.
Get on lemmygrad and go to this post now
the amount of genocidal fascists is twitter level
The least overtly fascist comments are like:
The rest is just genuinely
material.
"stop resisting"
okay to be fair we use the same logic for why russia shouldn't leave ukraine, no?
Im taking this at face value and am very tired so I am probably comparing it incorrectly
But the issue with Ukraine is that Ukraine would not stop attacking Donbass, for eight years. That conflict is like if Egypt had a much larger military than Israel and moved into Gaza and then began recapturing settlements after recognizing Palestine as a legitimate state.
If that happened I would lose all pessimism and consider that there may just be a god who loves us
thank you for clearing that up, it helped
lol the idea that unconditional support to Palestine was something Marxists held behind a mask is just chefs kiss. Absolutely go fuck yourselves this is just a massive self report if anything.
"Ah yes my morals and convictions are entirely vibes based and dependent on whether or not its convenient and acceptable to support a cause at any particular time". lol lmao even.
The whole critical support thing inside ML circles may as well end up being one of our mistakes, shit we used to bring nuance to discourse is now completely obsolete in a world where 2 weeks ago these fuckers were saluting the SS now they turn around and pearl clutch about cruelty.
very much not a projection moment
and yes, violent action against an oppressor is justified. (not rape tho, that is bad, but they really like to pay attention to this one instance and not the far larger amount of dead palestinians)
Liberals are so, so fucking baby-brained. Everything that happens is a completely unexpected event disconnected from anything else (unprovoked attack!) and it must be reacted to because it's on television right now. Israel routinely kills civilians but the music festival is what the television is talking about so that's all that matters right now. We must strongly condemn it and once that's done we can go back to being occasionally sad at the plight of Palestinians. They get angry at whatever they're being shown, in the proportion that it is being shown to them, and their opinions all align with what the pundits are saying, which is how you know they are big brained independent thinkers free from ideology.
If you try to explain that maybe the bigger issue here is Israeli apartheid, how it created Hamas, how it gave Palestinians no choice other than violent resistance, how it radicalized Palestinians by being an unrelentingly ghoulish genocidal state every single day, making something like this pretty much inevitable at some point, they hit you with the "So you think terrorism is ok?
Have you considered that, maybe, Hamas also bad? 
"
I've being saying it for years, the golden cow / crucial dogma of liberalism is that "nothing affects anything else". That's the key to understanding liberal ideology.

When I follow your link, I get a "couldnt_find_post" error. Did they nuke it? I even logged into a lemmygrad account and couldn't find the post.
It's beside the point, but in trying to find it, I went to your hexbear account page ( https://lemmygrad.ml/u/Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net ) from lemmygrad, and your newest comment is 2 months old. Which doesn't make sense because I'm replying to a comment you made with that account only 2 hours ago. I can't see any of your recent comments when I'm logged into lemmygrad. I don't get it.
my account is silly, different aspects of my hexbear just doesn't show up, while my lemmygrad just does stuff like this sometimes. maybe use my lemmygrad account https://lemmygrad.ml/u/American_Communist22
lol, I actually found your lemmygrad account while trying to figure this out. I've run into problems like this before where stuff is invisible from one instance but not another, even though it should be because the instances are federated. But yeah, anyone reading this post, I mean the hexbear news mega, from their lemmygrad account can't see this thread/you at all.
Anyway, I'm still not sure what the post is you linked to (this url: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/2267148 gives the post not found error). Is it the lemmy.ml one titled "Hmmmm" or the lemmy.world one titled "34 Palestinian children killed this year alone by Israeli forces"?
the hmmmmmm one is pretty bad, but the one under the 'german woman murdered by hamas' post is the worst
I guess the post must have been deleted. I see from your comments on your American_Communist22 lemmygrad account that the post is a lemmy.world post, but even going to .world, that post doesn't show up. Thanks for the info anyway.
edit: yep, it's in their modlog. Reason was the source is biased.
