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.
-Al Jazeera
why are they still doing this?
the same people who said russia bombed nordstream
Also, not only was this presentation at the UN full of complete bullshit, and anyone with an internet connection and time could prove it, western media fell over themselves praising that motherfucker and saying he brilliantly laid out the case for war.
VoA? lying?
Becuase this is really the first time people have actually paid attention to the conflict. They are unaware that hospitals have always been targets.
Oct 7th is a prime example that violence does get results. Non violent protest is just bs propaganda that allows you to be easily gnored.
Violence gets the goods
well duh, it was a United States Mk84 with a JDAM package
Gaslighting
Leaves no room to discuss Israel's numerous other crimes.
love too immolate my credibility
The government line of the UK and US is that it didn't happen, and even if it did happen, then it was
HamasDFLPPIJ, so all their outlets like NYT and BBC have to twist and contort themselves to fit the new truth. It's been really funny seeing redditors accept this new reality and call for apologies from the news agencies because "they were too favourable to Hamas" (Hamas propaganda dept. working overtime).Probably getting something from Israel for it https://www.indianpunchline.com/why-biden-lied-on-gaza-hospital-attack/
IDK that article licks Biden's boots like crazy, and I don't buy most of it. The whole, "But Biden also supports the Palestinians…" and "Showing empathy is one of Biden’s default strengths," is obviously a load of fucking hogwash. I think it's right that the U.S. doesn't really want this particular conflict to escalate...because it would rather focus on Russia and China, and it risks the U.S. losing even more control in the Middle East, not because Biden feels any fucking sympathy for Palestinians.
Taking up space is certainly one thing, but don't underestimate propaganda ghouls' ability to obsess about just one thing that might undermine their credibility. This one particular hospital bombing was picking up steam as the salient war crime. Folks were paying attention. So the Zionist entity did so as well with the most ludicrous lies.
They're trying to push their own atrocity propaganda line. Key to this is simultaneously pretending that they're "civilized" and defending themselves, not carpet bombing civilians and their infrastructure. Keep attention on the "bad" people doing the bad things. Sympathize with the Zionists. Etc etc.
It's to take up space that could've gone to what the Zionist entity is currently doing.
The only US media that's even somewhat reliable is Associated Press. Even when they're wrong, I can still appreciate that they went through basic journalistic practices to reach that conclusion. Everyone else is just gawking at their wires waiting for something they can spin.
