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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

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.


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:

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.

guy who thinks Israel will never reach Nazi levels of evil because even if they killed every single Palestinian, it would be less than the death toll of the holocaust

Hamas is just like the Avongers when they fight those huge killer robots but have to wreck new york in the process 🫵😲

Is it a step too far to tell the next "harm reduction" person I see that the most harm reduction they could possibly do is fall off a bridge.

Israel Army Says Suspected Aerial 'Infiltration' From Lebanon

By AFP - Agence France Presse

The Israeli army reported Wednesday a "suspected infiltration" from Lebanon into Israeli air space while sirens blared in cities and towns across Israel's northern border.

The army's Home Front Command asked resident of the cities of Beit Shean, Safed and Tiberias to shelter "until further notice" fearing a "large-scale attack".

No link because that's the entire article.

Edit

I finally learned the name of the woman who made the Gaza vid I wanted to rewatch and share: Journalist Plestia Alaqad.

I'll put the vid in a new comment after I find it. I only kept my comment about google and I deleted the rest because fuck google and [redacted].

---

Also and sincerely I give a big "fuck you" to google. They keep spamming my Gaza video searches with vile hasbara video spam that's in high rotation on CNN, MSNBC, etc. If I wanted that - I'd type "Israel" and not "Gaza" - google fuckers.

Damage is already done. They also finished with a defense of the IDF not having proof.

yea

But the fact that Israeli officials have not backed up their claim with photographic evidence is not surprising – sharing such graphic imagery would be regarded as deeply insensitive. “Because of the dignity of the dead, we do not speak about how they looked,” said Maj. Nir Dinar, an IDF spokesperson. “It’s a dead baby. Does it matter if it’s burning or decapitation?”

~~They have blown up the border fence from Lebanon into Palestine.~~

~~I repeat: The fence is blown. All settlers ordered into bunkers.~~

edit: Tweet deleted, what the fuck is going on? ~~AJ still reporting on paragliders in the north~~

edit 2: leaving this up as a reminder to myself to wait for confirmation. I don't have time to be glued to AJ anymore, so idk what they are saying now.

WHO to al jazeera

World Health Organization to Al-Jazeera: Hospitals in the Gaza Strip are on the verge of collapse

The crisis in Gaza is worsening with a rise in the number of infections due to a severe shortage of medical supplies

We call for an end to hostilities and the protection of health care facilities in Gaza

We call for the immediate opening of a humanitarian corridor to ensure that there are no obstacles to the entry of health and humanitarian supplies

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago

Just got confirmation that Yahya Sinwar has made himself a throne out of the bones of beheaded babies and is bathing in their blood. Truly sickening.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago

Every report on the TV news I've seen of that image that Bibi posted earlier today fails to mention that he almost immediately took it down.

In non-war, non-important news...

The rotunda ~~There's a circular space~~ in the capitol building that must be right next to where the house meets. The floor must be marble because it's echoey as hell. Yet the media insists on using that spot to live stream reporters and interviews from right there. It's dumb. There can be up to three networks streaming at the same time and all the echoes make actually following dialog a slog.

Does anybody actually watch the streams? The average age of MSNBC viewers is 68. I guess they just turn off their hearing aids until the segment is over.

As Azerbaijan demands Armenia cede 8 villages and continues to issue threats related to the Zengezur Corridor, the “Western Azerbaijan Community” held a forum in Madrid on “the return to Western Azerbaijan.”

Again, "Western Azerbaijan" is Armenia.

Twitter | Nitter

One step closer to my WW3 scenario...

EDIT:

Aliyev says Tehran and Baku have agreed on corridor to Nakhchivan via Iran

Twitter | Nitter

OK, maybe not...
