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.

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Algeria Moroccan news

Algeria: Visa Requirement for All Foreign Nationals with Moroccan Passports
The Algerian government has announced the immediate reinstatement of entry visa requirements for all foreign nationals holding Moroccan passports, as indicated in a communiqué from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Community Abroad on Thursday.

The statement noted that Algeria, “guided by the values of solidarity inherent in the human and familial ties that unite the two brotherly peoples of Algeria and Morocco, had refrained from questioning the freedom of movement between individuals when it decided to sever diplomatic relations with Morocco in August 2021.”

“Regrettably, the Kingdom of Morocco has taken advantage of the visa exemption regime to engage in various actions that threaten Algeria’s stability and national security. These include the large-scale organization of networks involved in organized crime, drug trafficking, human trafficking, smuggling, illegal immigration, and espionage activities. Furthermore, agents of Zionist intelligence holding Moroccan passports have been deployed to gain unrestricted access to our national territory. Such actions present a direct threat to our country’s national security and necessitate stringent control over all entry and residence points within the nation,” the communiqué asserted.

“The Kingdom of Morocco is solely responsible for the current deterioration of bilateral relations due to its hostile actions toward Algeria,” concluded the statement.

Trump said he will meet with Zelensky on Friday in New York - BBC

Trump and Zelensky to meet amid Republican anger

Article

Donald Trump has said he will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in New York on Friday. The Republican presidential nominee told a news conference that the pair will meet around 09:45 ET (14:45 BST) at his Trump Tower property.

The meeting is set to go ahead despite earlier reports it had been cancelled amid growing anger from senior Republicans after Zelensky earlier visited the key swing US state of Pennsylvania.

On Thursday, Zelensky met US President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris at the White House to discuss his "victory plan", which he hopes will pressure Russia into agreeing a diplomatic end to the war.

"President Zelensky has asked to meet with me, and I will be meeting with him tomorrow morning," Trump told reporters in New York. "And it's a shame what's happening in Ukraine. So many deaths, so much destruction. It's a horrible thing."

Trump said he believed he would be able to "make a deal" between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelensky "quite quickly". When pushed to provide details of such a deal, he replied: "I don't want to tell you what that looks like".

The former US president was speaking after Zelensky had earlier met Biden and Harris. Hours before, Biden had announced a further $7.9bn (£5.9bn) package of military assistance to Ukraine.

Speaking alongside the Ukrainian president after their meeting, Harris said there are "some in my country" that would "force Ukraine to give up large parts of its sovereign territory".

"These proposals are the same of those of Putin," she said, calling them "proposals for surrender". Asked at the news conference by a reporter whether Ukraine should cede land to Russia to end the war, Trump did not answer directly.

"Let's get some peace," he said. "We need peace. We need to stop the death and destruction." Friday's meeting comes amid tension between Zelensky and the Republican party ahead of November's US presidential election.

Some Republicans were angered by Zelensky's visit to an arms factory in Biden's hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, with top Democrats this week, including its governor Josh Shapiro.

Zelensky's visit to the key swing state was labelled by leading Republicans as a partisan campaign event. In a public letter, speaker of the US House Mike Johnson said the visit was "designed to help Democrats" and claimed it amounted to "election interference".

Trump and Zelensky have a complicated relationship. In 2019, Trump was impeached by the US House over accusations that he pressured Ukraine's leader to dig up damaging information on a political rival. A rough transcript of the call revealed Trump had urged Zelensky to investigate Biden, as well as Biden's son.

Trump has also grown increasingly critical of continued US funding for Ukraine, and in recent days has sharpened his attacks against Zelensky, calling him the “greatest salesman on Earth”.

Zelensky recently told the New Yorker magazine that he believe Trump "doesn't really know how to stop the war". When asked about Zelensky's comments on Thursday, Trump replied: "I do believe I disagree with him. He doesn't know me."

Article on Indian reluctance and challenge associated with a BRICS currency, citing comments by the Indian foreign affairs minister Dr Subrahmanyam Jaishankar

“People have raised the issue that should there be a Brics currency. But, for countries to have a common currency, you need enormous alignment of their very fundamental fiscal policies, monetary policies, economic policies… And when you look at Brics’s standards, I think we’ve to be realistic about the extent of alignment among members.”

Update on Elon Musk Vs. Brazil:

Supreme Court Judge Moraes ordered X to pay R$10 million so that it can start operating again. The amount refers to the “dribbles” of the blockade made by the platform.

Xandão (Moraes nickname) also set a fine of R$300,000 for lawyer Raquel de Oliveira Villa Nova Conceição for failing to comply with demands in August. In the decision, Moraes recognizes that X blocked the profiles mentioned and provided data about them, as determined.

The minister verified the data of the companies and X's representative with information from the Central Bank and the Federal Revenue Service.
