iran can't keep doing this to me, they've gotta respond soon, right? I'm gonna run out of analysis about countries soon, oh god
The COTW (Child of the Week) label is designed to spur discussion and debate about a specific child every week in order to help the community gain greater understanding of the domestic situation of often-understudied children. If you've wanted to talk about the child or share your experiences, but have never found a relevant place to do so, now is your chance! However, don't worry - this is still a general news megathread where you can post about ongoing events from any child.
The Child of the Week is Hassan LargePenis! He is chad-and-cuck rater and general commenter @LargePenis@hexbear.net's son, born over a month ago. @Greenleaf@hexbear.net recommended I have him as the COTW for a week and I finally got around to it.

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.
zed poster again
Was that the Egyptian guy? Sad. I was wondering where he went
it was unfortunate, I liked his combative attitude towards weak-willed liberals, but his inability to just calm down for a second and not tilt at every windmill he saw resulted in a lot of friendly fire and the moderators on the site could only put up with that for so long, understandably. the fact that he lasted as long as he did was pretty impressive given that his second account's name was literally just synonyms of his original one, and without any meaningful change in behaviour, which is a clear-cut case of ban evasion.
he'll be welcomed back with open arms if he demonstrates that he can stop beligerently attacking other people
"To indulge in personal attacks, pick quarrels, vent personal spite or seek revenge instead of entering into an argument and struggling against incorrect views for the sake of unity or progress or getting the work done properly. This is a fifth type.”
Yeah. Unfortunately Im no stranger to this. Always remember the first rule of internet message boards
He went out how he lived, being correct
Translation: give me the last word or you're too online.
Z poster just needed to have access restricted to /c/news since it's pretty obvious he despises everyone who's not a news mega regular and everyone who's not a news mega regular despises him in return. But because we are stuck with a shitty Reddit clone being developed by a shitty transphobe, we don't have this functionality.
Also fuck it, I'll add Zed has always been really nice to me on whatever alt I'm using. It's you nasty little gossip freaks and your constant poring over other people's posts to instigate playground bullying who cause me problems. Great job killing your own site lmao. I hope defending someone else I like makes you paranoid everyone is ban evading. Ass kissing layabouts.
Can you redirect your comment to someone else because I actually like Z Poster lmao
That's actually the cherry on top. You all think you're being constructive when you're just throwing out whatever pops into your head. About other people, about the factions of the resistance. Critical mass of unsupervised internet access that has curdled in here.
And you aren't?
No I'm not being constructive and the tone I'm going for here is "visibly soured on the prospect of any further tit for tat information exchanges"
Alright then. Enjoy the rest of your night.
Nauseating the way you're gleefully theorycrafting how to restrict the social media access of a dude pissed about Israel for their own good.
Zed was one of the only 3 good posters in the megathread. Most of you actually don't substantiate anything either, Zed included. They just happened to have a conscience instead of a cynicism honed by decades of sleeping 5 hours a night to win online. You guys are washed.
Don't lie. You also enjoyed the clips of IOF goons getting popped for standing in front of windows.
