Israel-Palestine Conflict
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. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
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.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
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.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
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 Telegram Channels:
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.
🇾🇪 Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr El-Din Al-Houthi in his speech yesterday, April 17th, 2024:
Speech
The enemy is the enemy of the entire nation, and if not for the jihad of the Palestinian people and their resistance, as well as Lebanon's resistance, the evil would have targeted other countries.
We offer condolences to our dear fighter brother Ismail Haniyeh for the martyrdom of his sons and grandchildren, and we commend his faithful and combative stance.
The "israeli" enemy with its crime does not achieve a victorious image for itself, but rather accumulates more criminal acts.
The American still insists on preventing a ceasefire and persists in continuing the aggression and criminal acts in Gaza.
There is blatant and significant support from Germany, providing substantial ammunition to kill the people in Gaza.
Prior to the Iranian response, there were earnest efforts and intense attempts to thwart and contain the Iranian response.
From the Iranian territories, the response targeted a military base which is among the most significant bases held by the enemy in occupied Palestine.
The "His Promise Is Truthful" operation established a response equation against the "israeli" enemy, in contrast to the enemy's attempt to impose a law of violation.
Unfortunately, some Arab countries, under the pretext of preventing escalation, sought to hinder the Iranian response.
The American implemented seven belts and layers aimed at countering the Iranian response and intercepting missiles and drones targeting the "israeli" enemy.
Yemen's support operations reached 14 operations from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean within two weeks.
The Indian Ocean has become part of the operations, including in southern occupied Palestine, against enemy targets.
We targeted 8 ships linked to the enemies, totaling 98 targeted ships, and the operations continue, successfully and significantly, by the grace of Allah.
This week saw several naval withdrawals from the Red Sea, which proves the effectiveness of the operations.
We assure the Americans, the British, and everyone that no one can ever stop our support operations for Gaza.
There is no danger to European navigation not heading to the "israeli" enemy, which can pass safely and peacefully.
We advise Europeans it is in their interest to withdraw their costly naval pieces which entangle them in risks and skirmishes for the American's benefit.
Through coordination with our country, any nation can cross the sea without any targeting.
The impact on the security and safety of navigation and the passage of ships lies in the congestion of warships in the Red Sea.
The enemy acknowledges its failure, and its economic losses are significant due to its actions at sea.
The "israeli" losses continue to escalate due to the prevention of their ships from passing, and those associated with them.
The losses of the Americans, the British, and the countries that involve themselves in these burdens are also escalating in terms of insurance and rising prices.
The solution that benefits everyone is to stop the aggression, end the siege in Gaza, and allow food and medicine to reach the area.
