There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account.
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.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.
The Country of the Week is Palestine! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.
Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.
The weekly update is here.
Links and Stuff
The bulletins site is down.
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can.
Resources For Understanding The War
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.
Telegram Channels
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
Pro-Russian
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
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.
Last week’s discussion post.
I was all for Palestine until they rudely interrupted my music festival next to the world’s largest concentration camp, forcing me to fly back to JFK in economy. They have left me no choice but to advocate for genocide.
Genuinely impressed by how mind-bogglingly stupid the average westerner is. Feed the westerner any propaganda slop and he’ll eat it with a massive smile on his face while thanking his master. The allegedly propagandized asiatic Russian and the dumb bloodthirsty Arab already knows that most state news is fake and shouldn’t be trusted, but the westerner can’t even form an opinion without eating some slop first. You know as an Arab dude with a fucking family here in the West, it’s getting harder and harder to live with such a hostile racist society. I’ve discussed with my wife if it’s perhaps smarter to just cut loose the “privileges” of the West and move back into the Arab World and raise our future kids there. I’m close to the edge, I can’t tolerate life here anymore.
They don’t accept the lie because they’re stupid, they accept the lie because it hurts less than accepting that they are not the heroes of this story.
Russians, Chinese, Arabs all know that most media is fake.
Oh look, who has the US been lining up to fight?
Just wanna say a big fuck you to all the people that said the work Palestine Action were doing in the UK was useless and pointless adventurism or purely aesthetic.
Elbit Systems reduced their ammunition production by 75% in the last few years, and halved their drone production. All of this was happening in the UK and while it’s probably only in the hundreds of thousands of 20mm - 40mm rounds and hundreds of drones these are still resources that have been deprived of Israel in this conflict.
Every single person that took part in those weapons factory attacks is a fucking hero in my eyes.
If the sub had somehow survived and hadn’t been banned, it absolutely would have been fucking banned this week lol.
Let’s be real we never would’ve made it past Jan 6, let alone Ukraine or Palestine lmao
Why would we get banned on Jan 6? For celebrating chuds tazing their own balls to death?
But yeah we definitely would’ve been banned when everything in Ukraine popped off.

death to them
If Palestine has one million supporters i am one of them.
If Palestine has one thousand supporters i am one of them.
if Palestine has ten supporters I am one of them.
If Palestine has only one supporter then it is me.
If Palestine has no supporters it means i am dead.
If the world is against Palestine I am against the world.
Saudi Arabia has ended normalisation talks with Israel
“death to the Chinese”, “death to the ruskies”, “death to the Arabs”
You’d think that by now libs would have realized they’re just white supremacists
Imagine, you’re Palestinian, born in a refugee camp, your family is from Asqalan. You managed to kill several colonizers but you’re caught, and you’re condemned to life in prison. You spend 22 years behind bars before being liberated in a prisoner exchange, and then after a few years you’re elected head of Hamas in Gaza, and manage to project - then and for years - the image of a pragmatic, someone ready to collaborate. Disgusting words like “reconciliation” are bandied about.
Meanwhile you’re implementing the greatest Palestinian military action in 50 years, completely secretly.
King shit
Went to the local library to pick up a book for my wife. Israel flag hung in the window. Went to a local administrative building to pick up some paperwork. Israel flag on a massive pole outside, replacing the Ukraine flag.
How should I feel as an Arab guy in the West at this point? Both my home countries, Lebanon and Syria were bombed by these scum in the last 24 hours. The apartheid state is currently doing an active genocide in a country where my ancestors probably farmed, lived and traded. I feel defeated and completely lost, I feel like any hope of living a dignified life here as an Arab is gone.

Zelenskkkyy_crying.jpeg.webp.png.gifThere are days I wished I lived in a first world country, with proper access to electricity, education, where the cost of living, inequality and salaries aren’t so bad. Where people are more accepting of LGBT issues.
Then there are weeks like this one, where we all get reminded how superficial the Wests support of human rights and acceptance is, how satanically racist they are, how their humanism is all a facade. At least in South Africa, with all our problems, the government doesn’t cheer on this nonsense, we have some dignity.
Ugh. I’m beginning to worry when some of my neighbors start this shit. Fortunately I live in a densely populated Arab neighborhood, so I’m sure there is trepidation the Zionist supporters are feeling.
Apparently theres an isreali leftist in their parliament?
“The Israeli government, which is a fascist government, supports, encourages, and leads pogroms against the Palestinians. There is an ethnic cleansing going on. It was obvious the writing was on the wall, written in the blood of the Palestinians – and unfortunately now Israelis as well,” he added.
Putin compares ‘unacceptable’ Gaza siege to Nazi blockade of Leningrad
Come on Putin, be a Chad for once.
Impossible
Banners reading “Genocide Gaza” and “Victory looks like zero people in Gaza” hang in Tel Aviv.
If you don’t like Hamas having to shoot off unguided rockets, potentially killing civilians with them, then the solution is to give Hamas guided missiles.
Average Israel supporter: Why yes, I do root for the humans in Avatar. How did you know?
