Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.

The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.

Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.

I don't know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

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.

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.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
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.

    SF Chronicle: Police are deliberately ramming suspects’ cars. Dozens have died — including bystanders

    Since 2017, at least 87 people across the country have been killed after police officers rammed vehicles they were pursuing, often at extremely high speeds, a Chronicle investigation found.

    Nearly half of those who died — 37 people, including seven children — were not the fleeing drivers. Instead, they were passengers or bystanders. In Tifton, Ga., a grandmother was killed when a fleeing car deliberately struck by police careened into her front yard.

    Astounding cruelty

    The wreck that killed Lakita Davis started with 5-hour Energy drinks and paper towels.

    A clerk at a Dollar Store in Jonesboro, Ark., told police she saw Davis leave without paying one evening in October 2020. Davis, 35, drove away with her daughter, her daughter’s boyfriend and her stepson in a silver Honda Civic.

    ...

    Moments later, Middlecoff sped toward Davis at more than 120 mph and deliberately rammed her car. The Civic veered off the road and flipped, landing on its hood.

    “Crawl out, or you’re gonna get dog bit!” ordered Chris Shull, an officer with the Jonesboro Police Department, a K9 by his side, according to dash-camera and body-camera footage and documents from Jonesboro and Arkansas State Police.

    “Driver, can you crawl out?” another officer asked. Davis didn’t answer.

    Standing nearby, Shull said, “I gotta say, that was my first pursuit that was legit and justified, like, fit policy. That was awesome.”

    Minutes later, Shull announced Davis was dead — and blamed her family.

    “Congratulations, y’all just committed homicide, y’all just committed murder,” he told the passengers: Davis’ 18-year-old daughter, Octavia Jackson, who lay on a stretcher with bone fractures; her stepson, Octavius Moore, 15; and her daughter’s boyfriend, Taccorion Golden, 20, who broke his leg.

      read the article. disgusting shit. luckily(?) none of the other passengers were actually charged with a crime, and Shull was fired later for other offences:

      A little over a year after the deadly pursuit in Jonesboro, Ark., supervisors disciplined Shull — the officer who had told the crash victims they had “committed murder” — for recklessly operating a police vehicle after he ignored a supervisor’s orders to end another pursuit, his personnel file shows. Instead of heeding his supervisor, Shull pulled in front of the fleeing car and swerved back and forth in a “reckless” manner, according to a reprimand signed by his supervisor.

      Later that year, the department fired Shull after he posted a video to social media of himself shocking a woman with a Taser. A caption on the video read: “Can’t stop the flop! Ride the lightning!”

      least fascist American cop

      but the guy who actually did the PIT to that family received no punishment for effectively performing a state execution of a mere shoplifter, a crime which I believe is not (yet) punished with the death penalty in America

      I have a friend who comes from a cop dynasty (his mom,dad,grandpa, brother, uncle all cops) and we have only remained friends because ive know him for so long waaay before he was a cop. He'll mention going to a call and kicking down a door or pulling his gun and the "adrenaline rush" and it just makes me so angry. Like this shit is a fucking game to them and our we're just NPCS like it's GTA RP
