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.

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. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

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.

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.
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.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

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

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 Telegram Channels:

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.

Ahmed Attaf Minister of Foreign Affairs of Algeria

⭕ Algeria's foreign minister: By decision of the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, we announce an exceptional provision of $15 million to UNRWA.

⭕ Algeria praises the withdrawal of a number of countries from freezing aid allocated to UNRWA

⭕ Our conviction remains firm that UNRWA must remain as long as there are Palestinian refugees

⭕ The two-state solution can never remain a hostage to the procrastination, evasions and manipulations of the occupier.

⭕ International legitimacy cannot remain imprisoned in the walls of this hall and trapped in the illusions and miscalculations of the occupier indefinitely.

⭕ The international consensus must find its way into force sooner rather than later through the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with Al-Quds as its capital.

Bonus Algerian news

Today, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, President of the Republic, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and Minister of National Defense, chaired a meeting of the Supreme Security Council.

news doesn't mention what they're talking about
- I really feel like my knowledge of Algeria is lacking, given their successful anti-colonial fight, and that at least at one point they were a socialist country in some regard.
  
  here's a video of Kim Il Sung visiting us
  
  and that at least at one point they were a socialist country in some regard.
  
  Depends on the definition of socialism you'd take really, some call the country a national bourgeois some others call it "state capitalism" whatever that may mean, but the country identifies itself as "Socialist from independence unitl 1989, then an open market economy", it still holds onto the "People's Democratic Republic of Algeria" title, the major party is the same single party from independence, it still has a lot of social benefits (free housing, free healthcare etc...), there's more than 400 companies nationalized with privatization being frozen since 2018 and 65% of the workers work in the public sector, and the country's foreign policy tries to be a balance of both sides (China and Russia), I can't recommend books because I read stuff in Arabic.
  
  Thanks! That alone is pretty helpful information.
