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.

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:

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.

    A Roaring Flood—By Any Means Necessary:
    One week has passed since the start of Al-Aqsa Flood. The entity crumbles under the weight of its own contradictions as our people stand tall.

    In a desperate move to collect its shattered pieces dispersed by the flood, the IOF threatened a ground invasion. The resistance has made it clear: they are ready and waiting. From the first day, a ground invasion was described as "the best possible option" by resistance leaders.

    The resistance is not foolish; it is confident and fully aware that even in the worst-case scenario, they have the upper hand. This meticulously planned operation is a testament to that. Further:

    While the IOF threatened to flatten the northern Strip, in a criminal attempt at a second Nakba, Gaza's residents have adhered to the land, refusing to succumb to the enemy's psychological warfare with full faith in the resistance. Abu Obeida reassured: "No displacement, except to our occupied lands." Settlers, meanwhile, run between shelters and airports.

    The Axis of Resistance led by Palestine is coordinating next steps. From Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, all the way to Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Bahrain: all await the signal, masses promising to enter. The Axis sends messages to the entity of unity and preparedness, whether by rockets from Lebanon and Syria, or the mass gatherings in support of Al-Aqsa. Leading the way to liberation, Gaza, crown of the nation, supported by all its peoples, is not alone. Besieged Gaza, besieges the siege.

    Despite the countless massacres, the people in Gaza refuse to back down from resistance. The pain might be great, but the will to fight is greater. The coming hours are decisive.

    Our duty now is to follow the resistance with patience. It is a war for survival. Stand behind the resistance, in its people, fighters: have their back and support them. Amplify their voices, their bullets and rockets. Believe in the reality of the dream. Believe that you are capable.

    As our heroes have told us before, it is a spider's web, a paper tiger, an illusion of dust. No matter how invincible our enemy claims to be, our eyes see beyond the fractured illusion, beyond the dust.

    What is certain is that we have already won. What is certain is that they have lost since the first day they set foot on our lands. The entity's prestige has shattered, has fallen, and it commits war crimes—murdering Gazans and even its own settlers—under US cover as the righteous resistance marches forth honorably.

    As our resistance is confident in victory, we too are confident.

    What is certain is that they cannot break us. For as long as there's breath in our lungs, a pulse in our hearts, rocks in the hands of our children defying tanks, rockets defying a crumbling and prideful entity deceived by its own arrogance—liberation is closer with every passing second. A martyr is carried on the shoulders of the sons of his land and lulled to sleep by its ululating mothers.

    Liberation, undoubtedly, liberation nears.

    these statements are beautifully written goddamn.
