Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Friendly reminder: when commenting about a news event, especially something that just happened, please provide a source of some kind. While ideally this would be on nitter or archived, any source is preferable to none at all given.

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.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis.

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.

The Country of the Week is still Palestine, though we will switch next week to a new country.

Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.

The weekly (biweekly?) 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.

::: spoiler 🟢 Head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh:

—
Starting with Gaza; Gaza, the Flood of Al-Aqsa; Gaza, the dignity of prisoners and the path [Al-Quds]; Gaza, O bearer of burdens, O Gaza, who writes today with iron, fire, tears, blood, and body parts, a new history for our people, our cause, our nation, and for all the free people of the world who reject this criminal, brutal, and hated occupation.

Gaza, O soul that flows anew in the body of this nation from one end to another, and a soul that flows in the body of the free people of the world across all the continents. Gaza, O backbone of every Palestinian, O support of every Arab and Muslim, O advanced deterrence arm, O protectors of Al-Aqsa, O hope for the liberation of prisoners, God willing.

Salutations to you, O steadfast people, despite the brutality and the genocide war waged by the enemy; and salutations to the souls of the martyrs, the martyrs of Gaza, the martyrs of the West Bank, and the martyrs of Lebanon from the Islamic Resistance in Hezbollah, the martyrs of Al-Qassam, and the martyrs of Saraya Al-Quds across the nation.

There in South Lebanon, where the front is escalating to send fiery messages to this enemy, the continuation of aggression, killing, and destruction on Gaza and its people will bring the entire region out of control, and it is on a hot plate.

The region has now become a hot plate, and no one can predict its directions or outcomes. However, we are aware, confident, and certain that the outcomes of the Al-Aqsa flood, which Al-Qassam wrote on the first day of the Flood, will accompany all of our stages in Palestine, in the struggle of the nation and the resistance against the zionist project.

On the 20th day of this glorious battle, which is changing the face of history, history will be written in glory for our people and our nation. And, God willing, we will proceed towards achieving the supreme goals of this people who have suffered from this historical injustice, from this occupation, from refuge, displacement, siege, arrests, checkpoints, and from being prevented from reaching the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The resistance in Gaza is fine, a thousand times fine. From here, I call upon the peoples of the Arab and Islamic nations and the free people of the world. I do not just call upon them to continue what they are doing; I call upon them to support this resistance and back this revolution with money, weapons, technology, and all the sciences that consolidate this victory, embed these heroic deeds, and write, along with the resistance in Gaza and Palestine, the final chapters for this abominable occupation.

I call upon all the thinkers, experts, and strategists to address the post-occupation phase, for the occupation will inevitably perish. This occupier will not be able to regain its health due to this strategic strike and the resounding defeat it has suffered.

The blood in Gaza, along with the resistance and Al-Qassam, will triumph over this occupier. It will prevail over this enemy and the law of the jungle that some want to establish in this reality.

I call on everyone, all the free people of the world, and all friendly, brotherly, and allied countries to exert all the necessary pressure in all forums and in all directions to stop the terrorist aggression on Gaza, to stop this war against our children, our women, our elders, our mosques, our universities, and our homes. This brutal aggression must stop.

This new Holocaust, carried out by the zionist occupation army against our Palestinian people, must stop.

Resistance News Network 🟢 Head of the political bureau of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh: (2/2) — I urge all presidents, leaders, thought leaders, and decision-makers to clearly affirm the legitimacy of the resistance on the blessed land of Palestine, the legitimacy of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, and all resistance movements on Palestinian land. They are liberation movements seeking to free their land, their homeland, and their people. Terrorism is the occupier, terrorism is those who support this occupier, and terrorism is those who remain silent about these massacres and slaughters.

We must win the battle of consciousness, the battle of will, and the battle of accurately describing what is happening on the ground. We should not fall into this trap, we should not fall into the snares of the devil. Matters should be clear, unequivocal, straightforward, and without ambiguity. I salute all the brave and bold voices and stances that have clearly declared this legitimacy and this right to exercise legitimate resistance, which is guaranteed by all international norms and laws as well as Islamic and heavenly laws.

I stress the need to open all crossings, especially the Rafah crossing, and to allow everything that Gaza needs without restrictions or conditions. Everything that our people in Gaza need should be allowed to restart the cycle of life for all facilities in the Gaza Strip, especially hospitals, electricity, water, bakeries, and so on.

It is completely unacceptable for the enemy to control what enters Gaza or doesn't. The time has passed when this occupier could control Gaza, our people, and our region.

We call for the rapid delivery of everything Gaza needs and everything that the cycle of life in Gaza needs. I salute all those who stand in this square and push in every way to quickly provide what Gaza and the heroic people of Gaza need.

We should not keep moving in the same place; we must move on all fronts. The Flood must continue for the people of the nation, for the free people of the world, for the forces of resistance and opposition, and for the future of our Arab and Islamic countries.

These crowds must continue, and the voice must rise. Stop the genocide war on Gaza; stop this brutality and this Holocaust that these zionists are carrying out against our people, against our Gaza, against our West Bank, and against our prisoners, our prisoners in the occupation prisons.

The prisoners whom the enemy is tormenting now, thinking we are preoccupied with this war, we affirm that the prisoners' issue is a priority for us and is under our attention both on the ground and politically.

Brothers and sisters, our Palestinian people, Gaza, as I said, you are the bearer of burdens, you are the proof against the world, Gaza, children of Gaza, men of Gaza, women of Gaza, you who have taught the world pride, freedom, and dignity.

Greetings to you, greetings to the leaders of Gaza, its resistance, its mujahideen, its families, its women, everything that moves above its pure land. Go forward, move forward, and Allah, the Almighty, is our supporter.
