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://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Last week's discussion post.
I don't think I've seen this mentioned yet. Senior Tory MP Crispin Blunt was arrested on suspicion of rape and possession of drugs yesterday. He was also suspended from the Tory party. Says he's innocent of course.
Now I'm not usually one to come out in defense some Br*tish sex pest, especially a fucking Tory MP, but this guy literally said that the United Kingdom was complicit in Israeli war crimes LAST WEEK. He also claims he was extorted in connection to this three weeks ago. Now considering the noncery the average Tory MP gets away with daily on that godforsaken island, the timing, and how he was immediately arrested and expelled from the party based on an unknown accusation, before charges are even filed... what?? that happens to powerful people over there?
Like I'm freaking the fuck out at this? holy shit they just totally suppressed this guy right? jesus there's probably some fucking Epstein/Maxwell connection involved here too with Israeli and British intelligence services or some shit, idk my brain is melting and I'm going fucking insane with this rn!
I'm sorry, dude's name is crispin blunt?

Conservatives continue to win at the coolest name game. This might just replace Saxby Chambliss in the #1 position.
In a coincidence I'm watching the British tv spy series Spooks (also known as MI-5) and in an episode I watched a couple days ago - a plotline was a sort of opposite.
An MP highly critical of Israel is targeted for assassination by a clandestine group that's described with phrases like "They are a violent pro-Israeli group." In other words - terrorists in all but the name. The MP is about to be killed by the group when MI-5 swoops in and saves him.

kind of like how everything is illegal in America so that the cops can selectively enforce the law to fuck over literally anyone at any time. the Tory party only allows pedophiles to join its ranks, so that any time one of them steps out of line, they can be crushed immediately with legitimate charges
Death to America
