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.
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.
Last week's discussion post.
I still can't get over that usa just parked military bases in another country without any pretense of invitation and now saying "whatcha gonna do about it nerd"
It's the single biggest display of borders being complete and total bullshit.
But we reeeaaaallly care about the sanctity of sovereign nations when bad countries do something
what's the US doing? the way they're downplaying these attacks - if they wanted, they could easily use this as casus belli against Iran - seems to show they don't want war. but at the same time they keep giving cover for Israel to escalate and start a war.
Nothing. The US is trying to get themselves out of the shit. They don't want this to become a major conflict. They are trying to avoid escalation and letting much of this go.
why not put actual pressure on Israel to end this then? they've not even called formally called for a cease-fire yet, the most recent ask is for 'humanitarian corridors'. Netanyahu is 100% going to be forced to invade soon.
I know it's bordering on trope territory but I truly think that the Epstein well runs deep. Spooks have a lot of powerful people by the short and curlies.
My theory is that the US is trying to have its cake and eat it at the same time.
If Israel can pogrom Palestinians out of Gaza/West Bank without escalation in the conflict, they can normalize Israeli-Arab relations again in 5 years' time without a problem. I bet that Arab leaders will go for it in the future and the US realizes it as well.

I think at least in part, the US can't control Israel. They can arm them and fund them, but they can't turn off the genocide faucet. Only ramp it up.
The US doesn't want to get bogged down in the Middle East because that'll basically allow China to grow unchecked for another decade... And by that point, given China's trajectory, there will no longer be a debate about whether China can compete with the US.

They can invent a casus belli at any time. With that kind of power, you can know exactly whether they want a war at any given time - because they will declare it at exactly that second.
Noone can take that power of control over narrative from them.
More dead imperialists. More dead imperialists. More dead imperialists.
Those are rookie numbers we gotta pump those up
