Imagine a terrifying world where we are all ruled by monsters of every stripe. And not hot ones like werewolves, but instead decaying zombies and mummies who are both insensitive to, and actively benefit from the immense suffering they cause on a daily basis. The top echelon of society, filled with profit-seeking, bloodsucking vampires. And the worst of it is that they repeat on a daily basis that what they are doing is not only just, but there is no other possible way to do it.

Pretty spooky, right? What if I told you that this world... was our own?

Happy Halloween!


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 Lebanon! 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.

This week's first 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.

Do Hamas and Hezbollah have any real reason to play ball with the "pause" Biden is proposing? My thought is that the Ghouls in DC know that Hamas and/or Hezbollah will ignore any ceasefire without meaningful concessions and will use that as PR. "See? We declared timeout and they still attacked. That means genocide is okay now."

I have a feeling the PA, given it's current treatment of it's own people in the West Bank during this is a complicit lapdog. Shaking hands with blinken and offering to replace Hamas in Gaza seems like it's willing to accept steep Palestinian loses and further entrenchment of zionist invaders. (I'm not indignifying them with the term "settlers")

What can you even say...

Hospital in Gaza scrambles to treat dozens of children after main generator stops working, doctor says

Medical staff at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza are trying to provide care to more than 60 injured children, including 13 on mechanical ventilation, despite a lack of medical supplies and after the hospital's main generator stopped working due to lack of fuel, a pediatrician at the hospital told CNN on Saturday.

Most of the children who came to the emergency department on Saturday were in "very critical" condition, said Dr. Husam Abu Safyia, a pediatrician at the medical center.

The main hospital generator stopped working Friday and the hospital is relying on a small electric generator that is being used "just for intensive care units," he said in a message to CNN.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah warned Saturday of a "catastrophe within Gaza hospitals," adding that wounded people are "taking their last breaths" due to the lack of medical resources and fuel.

I'm not a US law expert, but it sounds like Biden is going to hide a federal crackdown on anti-Israel speech on campus behind threatening college with Title VI, forcing them to do the dirty work themselves.

Islamic Resistance in Iraq announce attacking a vital israeli target on the coast of the Dead Sea on Thursday morning in response to the massacres in Gaza

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I edited this so it's the entire update.

What did we learn from the IDF's Daniel Hagari?

A few moments ago we heard from IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari who was giving the Israeli military’s daily press briefing. Here’s a summary of what he said:

  • Israeli fighter jets attacked the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, resulting in senior commander Ibrahim Biari being killed

  • Several other Hamas members who were with the commander in the building and underground were also killed

  • The attack also caused the collapse of Hamas’s underground infrastructure – the purpose of this infrastructure was to carry out terrorist activities against the Israeli forces

  • Hagari said Hamas continues to use the civilian population as shields intentionally "and in a very cruel and brutal manner"

  • Hagari repeated the IDF’s call for people in the north of Gaza to head south

 

As a reminder, the BBC is not able to immediately verify most battlefield claims

For for those of you wondering if there would be a response to the Israeli strike on the civilian car in Lebanon:

🚀 An Israeli vehicle was hit in Kiryat Shmona, it was reportedly moving so there are casualties.

https://nitter.net/AryJeay/status/1721218136316273131

Assuming that Hezbollah used something guided for this, the response would be in line with what Nasrallah outlined as Hezbollah's approach would be towards escalation I'm his speech.

🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡️ Israel stops offensive in residential areas of Gaza

Several Israeli tanks, which broke into the Gaza Strip and blocked the main road connecting the northern and southern regions, left the enclave. According to the press service of the Palestinian government, Israel is not conducting offensive operations in residential areas of the sector.

This is also from earlier and is probably related to the video the tank incursion attacking a civilian vehicle here.

This volatile dynamic along their borders resulted in the peculiar situation wherein Arab leaders often raised the question of Palestine because of popular pressure but refrained from actually doing anything about it, out of fear of Israel's might and the disapproval of the great powers. The Palestine issue thus became a political football exploited at will by opportunistic politicians, as each sought to outbid the other in proclaiming their devotion to it. Palestinians witnessing this cynical game eventually realized that if anything was to be done about their cause, they would have to do it themselves.

More from former UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness

Gunness has said there is a very real prospect of communicable diseases spreading in Gaza amid widespread displacement and the lack of clean water and other critical supplies.

“That’s the prospect, and let’s be clear, this is a matter of political choice,” he told Al Jazeera.

“This is a humanitarian catastrophe which world leaders in giving Israel a greenlight to continue … the war, they are responsible for this.”

There's a 1 minute video.

Israel bombs the Jabalia refugee camp with a 2,000 pound bomb for the 27th time and a talking head on CNN says "Some may say yet again that this is excessive but the IDF located a Hamas leadership war council meeting room under the school. The Israelis say a meeting was in progress and war is a dirty business..."

The BBC has an Onion-like headline about it.

Palestinian ambassador to UN says Israeli strike on Jabalya refugee camp was a crime

Ambassador Riyad Mansour, the Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the United Nations, said the Israeli strike on the Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza was a crime and urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to take action.

Mansour made the comments upon leaving a UN meeting on Tuesday, saying the ICC should hold those responsible for the lethal airstrike.

“Those who are responsible for giving the orders for that crime should hear something from Mr. Khan from the ICC,” Mansour told CNN in reference to ICC prosecutor Karim Khan. “If he has the courage, and I hope he does. We appreciate the fact that [he] came to the crossing, Rafah crossing, and he made a statement there. But it would be also nice to issue a warrant of arrest for those who are responsible for such crimes," Mansour said.

When asked whether Egypt should allow the entry of refugees from Gaza, Mansour replied “no.”

Some context: According to a statement by the Israel Defense Forces, the airstrike targeted and killed Ibrahim Biari, whom it described as one of the Hamas commanders responsible for the October 7 attack on Israel, which left than 1,400 people dead and hundreds taken hostage.

What is it about getting elected that just ruins someone's morals?

It sounds like he genuinely believed what he was saying here, but now he's fully behind Israel.

Like if I got elected, would that somehow happen to me despite me very much not wanting that to happen?
