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.
CW: guy gets blown up
armed settler sees a Palestinian flag and tries to kick it down, gets blown up instead
As a genocidal settler who has heard about and believe all the insane lies about everyone and everything secretly being a Hamas plot to kill Israelis, not to mention the countless true reports of this very tactic, then see a suspiciously placed Palestine flag, conveniently placed just far enough from the road that if it was an IED it wouldn't damage passing cars etc, and go 'yeah that looks fine, I should go kick it'?
Not sending their best etc etc.
This dude dresses like your average American fascist going to the grocery store with his giant .45 sticking out his side. His training involves watching American Sniper 20 times
Bro could've just stayed home. Wtf was he thinking
No one thinks
is going to happen to them.
Palestinians calling up the ACME company like "hey do you have anything for flags?"
I remember being told about stuff like this when in some of my army training classes, never thought I'd see it in action though.
Might want to add a CW tag, it actually shows a person being blown into meaty chunks.
There was a video posted of this here some weeks ago of 6 iof members getting blown up by a flag IED, try searching a comment with "death clock" written by me I wrote that in the thread
God damn that should be so easy to avoid. Literally just throw some explosives at it from a safe distance or something. They really are a bunch of bozos.
they use robots to get them nowadays
I didn't realise so much bang could fit inside a flagpole
Antipersonnel mines are pretty small. Generally the goal is to seroiusly disable someone, killing is fine but an injured soldier needs two guys to carry him + people to guard them + evac + doctors. IDk what the Palestinian forces used here, but it could just be an AP mine tied to the flag or something.
Pretty small but you can stack them on top of each other safely after arming. Top one triggers and will set off the ones below.
Yeah, literally just use a grapnel hook and some rope.

thanks
Likewise
I know a guy who was part of the US Occupation of Iraq. For a year after he rotated back he would always drive as far from the side of the road as possible, swerve to avoid trash and litter on the roadside, speed up going under overpasses.
It took me about a year to keep from speeding when there weren't any cars to follow, because when I was driving point vehicles that was what we normally did in Iraq.
Drive just fast enough to trigger an attack but not slow enough to get caught in the middle of an ambush or right on top of an IED.

Did they get his semen in time?
His ballsack exploded
There wasn't an IED he was just so masculine and righteous he had a spontaenious testicular detonation.
Guy actually got gibbed Team Fortress 2 style, so maybe not.
Can't tell if his shoes flew off, did he died?

Comrade, freeze and watch frame-by-frame
“He” is now “they” in the plural sense, not the non-binary sense
"minor injuries"
Vaxxed?
Was about to post this lmao I can't stop watching it
The funniest part about this is that he has a sidearm and looks like a civilian which means he’s one of those US-styled militia nut jobs who’s spent thousands on getting “certifications” from big bad IDF commandos.
I guess they were too busy covering CQB and room clearing and never went over not touching strange objects in random places
He is a reservist apparently
Supposedly he didn’t die https://www.ynetnews.com/article/h132jrmz0
But the full video is even weirder. The tweeted video makes it seem like the woman is about to get out the car and see if he’s okay, but the full video shows her just sitting in the car while someone is screaming outside (presumably the dude) lol
Yeah I thought that was weird, like her husband or dad or whatever just lost a leg and she just keeps making that tik tok
Idk what she was thinking, but not going in to a potential minefield to rescue someone may, in some cases, be the correct move. Probably she just froze and didn't know what to do, though. People react to moments of extreme stress in weird ways. Like she may just not have been able to process something so totally unexpected and frightening in the moment.
he didn't die?? i swear to fucking god it looks like his head goes flying off
i have analyzed the footage and it was merely shrapnel
This just in: IDF squad lured into trap by plate of Free Bird Seed
Please add a cw. This is pretty gruesome. Funny, though. Rip bozo you fell for the most obvious shmuck bait in the dumbest way possible.
