Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

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/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/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.

    Hitmen Assassinate the Mayor of Ponce Enriquez in Ecuador

    His death occurred just three weeks after other hitmen killed the mayor of San Vicente City.

    On Wednesday night, Juan Lloret, the prefect of the province of Azuay, confirmed that hitmen shot and killed Jose Sanchez, the mayor of Camilo Ponce Enriquez.

    "We express our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and the dignified and noble people who elected him, while demanding that authorities find those responsible for this new crime that mourns Azuay and Ecuador," Lloret said.

    In the attack against Sanchez, two other people were also killed, according to local media. However, this information has not been officially confirmed at this time.

    Previously, Sanchez had reported to the press and the Attorney General an attack on his residence on the night of October 2, 2023.

    Located near the Ecuadorian coast, the municipality of Camilo Ponce Enriquez faces problems of illegal mining around the Guanache River. Sanchez, who also had business dealings related to mining, promised to solve these problems by formalizing miners.

    His death occurred three weeks after other hitmen shot and killed Brigitte Garcia, the mayor of San Vicente, a city located in the province of Manabi.

    Earlier this year, President Daniel Noboa declared an "internal armed conflict" against 22 gangs linked to drug trafficking, all of which have been defined as "terrorist groups" and "non-state belligerent actors."

    These organized crime groups are also linked to other illicit activities such as illegal mining, money laundering, kidnapping, and extortion.

    According to the latest official records, Ecuador has a homicide rate of 45 people per 100,000 inhabitants, making it one of the most unsafe countries in Latin America.

    The Sanchez murder occurred three days before the referendum called by Noboa to carry out reforms to laws related to the participation of the armed forces in the fight against organized crime, the flexibilization of labor forms, and international arbitration in foreign investments.
