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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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


Last week's discussion post.

US imposes new sanctions, says will dismantle Hamas funding networkThe US has imposed a second round of sanctions against people and organisations linked to Hamas following the group’s October 7 attacks on Israel.

A Hamas official in Iran, members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a Gaza-based entity that the US Treasury said has served as a conduit for illicit Iranian funds to Hamas, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group are among those targeted in the measures.

The sanctions freeze any US-based assets owned or controlled by the named individuals and organisations. They also block financial transactions with those designated and prohibit the contribution of funds, goods and services to them.

“Today’s action underscores the United States’ commitment to dismantling Hamas’s funding networks by deploying our counterterrorism sanctions authorities and working with our global partners to deny Hamas the ability to exploit the international financial system,” Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said in a statement.

He added that the US will take action to “further degrade Hamas’s ability to commit horrific terrorist attacks by relentlessly targeting its financial activities and streams of funding”.

Erdoğan: 'savagery' towards Palestinian lands deepening, and western silence exacerbating Gaza humanitarian crisis Turkey’s president has told Vladimir Putin that the “savagery” towards Palestinian lands was deepening. In a call with his Russian counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdoğa said western countries’ silence was exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and that civilians were constantly being killed. The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry has put the death toll at 700 in the last 24 hours. Reuters reports that a statement from Erdoğan’s office repeated earlier comments that Ankara would continue working to achieve calm in the region. Turkey was one of the first countries to try and send aid into Gaza via Egypt after the 7 October conflict broke out.

Israel’s security chief warns of “eruption” of violence in West Bank

The head of Israel’s domestic security agency Shin Bet has warned there are “fears” of an “eruption” of violence in the West Bank, Israeli media have reported.

Ronen Bar, the head of Shin Bet warned that there had been “a rise in violence by settlers [and] incidents between settlers and Palestinians that result in the deaths of Palestinians,” the Times of Israel reported Israel’s Channel 12 as saying.

Bar gave the warnings to Israel’s war cabinet, army and wider cabinet, according to the Israeli media reports.

You can read more about the ongoing violence in the West Bank from Al Jazeera’s Ayman Nobani here.

⚡️Israeli media: Maariv poll shows that 49% of #Israelis believe that caution should be taken before approving ground entry into #Gaza, and only 29% support immediate entry.

If true this confirms the Rybar analysis that the general opinion inside Israel has been turning against this.

Hospital in southern Gaza only focusing on life-saving interventions

Rushdi Abualouf reporting from Khan Younis, Gaza

More than a million people live now in southern Gaza after a huge flight from the north. Some of them live in Khan Younis's Nasser Hospital, where I've been reporting. It's the second biggest hospital in Khan Younis, serving half of the population. But right now, it's really struggling with the number of casualties arriving - a situation compounded by the fact that it is running low on fuel and medical essentials.

Doctors have shut most of the departments and are focusing only on people that need life-saving interventions. Tonight, more Israeli planes are flying over Gaza. People here are expecting more heavy bombing.

So I just saw this comment under a lib Youtube video:

Stalin was in favor of establishing Israel, and this reflected the USSR foreign policy up until exactly the Yon Keppur War, which made Brezhnev add Anti-Zionism (some would say it also contained some degree of antisemitism with its symbols used) to their propaganda apparatus, which was exported to the developing world and left wing organizations during the Cold War, and resulted in the addition of anti-Zionism to their anticolonial vocabulary

Could someone more versed in history tell me how much of this is true and what it means?
