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.

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.

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.

    Egyptian tweeters and activists are circulating the news that the convoy of 20 trucks that will enter from the Rafah crossing within hours contains Mossad and CIA spies who have advanced seismic devices to detect tunnels, and those supervising the entry of this convoy are the United Nations, which in Arabic means America.

      Rumors could also be spread by Mossad/CIA to further cause delay and distrust with the aid

        Yea I don't see how "Egyptian tweeters and activists" would have better intel than Hamas or any other resistance group in Palestine

      Pretty worrisome. You have to wonder if this is part of the negotiation to let the aid in. Guess we'll know if Israel allows it through without bombing it.

      Called it. This aid is the setup. They either block aid and get accused of harming gaza, or they let spies in. This was the purpose of the biden announcement. To set up the possibility that "hamas (would) interfere" in the minds of the viewer, and make it tougher for them to directly stop the spy op

        Maybe the play for hamas here should be to require a third party to inspect the convoy

          Yeah there really needs to be Russians or Chinese or someone reputable as a 3rd party here. I don’t trust the UN or any western nations

      It depends how deep the actual tunnels are (i.e. whether they're all 60m deep or if there's some that are more shallow) but I've been sifting through the scientific literature and I can't currently find reliable ways of detecting tunnels more than like 10 meters deep even if you already know that they're there. Detecting tunnels underground is very complicated and has been for decades, though the more techniques you use, the more certainty you have. Not saying they aren't trying to use seismic devices to try and find tunnels, and again maybe a lot of them are quite shallow, but either way it'll be a pain in the fucking ass to do over large areas. I wouldn't wanna be the Mossad agent assigned with trying to determine the location of even a small area of tunnels out of the hundreds of miles that Hamas has created with seismic line surveys, that's for sure

        You only need to find entrances, not the tunnels themselves. The entrances are going to be significantly easier to find because they're at surface.
