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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Rybar end of day sitrep (before the raids started) October 23, 2023

spoilerโ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone - update as of October 23, 2023

Last night, the Israel Defense Forces carried out a devastating attack on the Gaza Strip, causing extensive damage to civilian structures, including residential buildings, a mosque, and nearby buildings close to two hospitals. The local Ministry of Health reports that the death toll has risen to over 430, including 182 children.

A third convoy of humanitarian aid has entered the enclave through the Rafah checkpoint. However, the Israeli authorities are still blocking the entry of fuel into the Gaza Strip, which is negatively impacting the functioning of hospitals, desalination plants, and power plants.

There are reports of ongoing negotiations between the parties for the release of 50 hostages, including individuals with dual citizenship and foreigners, held by Hamas. Two prisoners have already been released through the mediation of Egypt and Qatar. It is possible that the militants may demand fuel supplies in exchange for further releases.

Palestinian factions have once again launched attacks on IDF positions along the border with the Gaza Strip, targeting areas such as Sderot, Nahal Oz, Kissufima, and Sufa. In addition, two kamikaze drones attempted to attack the IDF bases at Hatzerim and Ts'eelim, but were successfully intercepted by air defense systems.

Ok so hear me out.

You take something like this. Cover it in concreate, tarmac, grass, a grave, manhole, whatever necessary to disguise it as ground. You a mortar pit underneath it. Open the hatch, fire your mortar, close the hatch.

Also perfectly hidden tunnel entrances. None of that hinged shit that takes a bunch of time to swing open while also being highly visible in the process, a sliding opening is significantly more hidden.

Rybar end of day sitrep October 24, 2023

spoilerโ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone

Update as of October 24, 2023

During the day, Hamas carried out multiple rocket attacks on Tel Aviv and the surrounding areas, as well as on populated areas near Gaza Strip.

Later, the Al-Qassam Brigades launched an amphibious operation north of Gaza at Zikim Beach. This resulted in several hours of fighting between the IDF and saboteurs in the village of the same name and a military base.

The Israeli Defense Forces continued to conduct mass artillery and air strikes on Gaza. The Palestinians have reported numerous civilian casualties, as is often the case.

During a meeting of the UN Security Council, a diplomatic scandal unfolded. The Secretary-General of the organization stated that the current events are a direct result of the "occupation of the Palestinian people." This statement was met with a strong reaction from the Israeli Foreign Minister.

Israeli bombardment ongoing across Gaza, residential buildings destroyed

Tareq Abu Azzoum reporting from Khan Younis, Gaza

Israeli drones are hovering above and Israeli jets are moving from one area of the Gaza Strip to the other.

In the north, a residential building was flattened, in which 16 Palestinians were killed. Attacks are also continuing in central Gaza, where two residential buildings were hit in Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood.

The Israeli air force has renewed attacks in the surrounding areas of al-Quds Hospital in order to intimidate people at the hospital, in order [to force them] to evacuate and leave the facility.

In the southern part of the territory, a residential building was levelled to the ground.
