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.

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/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.

Israel stopped listening to Hamas radio traffic a year ago: Report

Israel’s signals intelligence agency, Unit 8200, stopped listening to traffic on Hamas fighters’ hand-held radios a year ago, according to a report by The New York Times.

The Israeli army stopped doing so because they believed it was a “waste of effort”, read the investigation which details the security failures over the past years that paved the way for the October 7 assault into southern Israel.

The report also said that US intelligence services had “largely stopped” collecting information on Hamas under the conviction that Israel was managing the group’s regional threat.

I'm on a little posting spree now, but my wife is at her parents house and I'm bored.

Crazy how the Russia vs Ukraine war seems to be developing in the exact way Russian non-doomers started preaching about back in Sep-Oct 22 after the successful Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kharkiv and the start of Russian mobilization.

Limited Ukrainian gains that elevate morale but not end the war ✅

Russia ramps up production and mobilizes more troops after chilling too much in the start of the war ✅

Western backers steer Ukraine into investing everything into a summer counter-offensive ✅

Wagner dudes slowly taking Bakhmut despite strong Ukrainian defence ✅

Russia getting its shit together and building good defences ✅

Ukrainian counter-offensive sees limited success but failing hard when it comes to major objectives ✅

Ukraine loses its momentum, West gets bored, Russia gets ready for their offensive --> We're here

Gradual economic, morale and military collapse for Ukraine as Western supports dries up ⏳

Russia regains positive momentum as material gap gets bigger ⏳

Internal issues start to clearly fuck up Ukrainian military operations ⏳

Finally the big fist offensive by Russia that builds the foundations of the end of the war ⏳

During the occupation of the central base of Force 17 in Hamas - which yielded important intelligence - the terrorist organization sent a "human wall" towards the forces. In the Purple Brigade, they sent recruits to the funerals of the 13 fighters, and the advanced training soldiers were authorized in a flash procedure to reinforce the battalions in Gaza: "We must have the people of Israel remain strong in order for us to win." The NMR incident: the "wind jacket" system was not activated

they shot a bunch of women and children in a funeral and said they were fighting them.

Israel-Palestine war: Israeli minister says nuking Gaza 'an option'

Published date: 5 November 2023 10:29 GMT

Israel's Jerusalem Affairs and Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said on Sunday that dropping a nuclear weapon on the Gaza Strip is "an option", according to Haaretz.

The minister made the comments in a radio interview during which he maintained that "there are no non-combatants in Gaza", adding that providing humanitarian aid to the Strip would constitute "a failure".

Eliyahu was then asked if, since there are no non-combatants in his view, a nuclear attack on the Gaza Strip is an option. "That's one way," he responded.

When asked about the fate of Palestinians, he said: "They can go to Ireland or deserts, the monsters in Gaza should find a solution by themselves."

He also said the Gaza Strip has no right to exist, adding that anyone waving a Palestinian or Hamas flag "shouldn't continue living on the face of the earth".

In my own relatively unimportant provincial city in northern Europe there has been several protests, you see banners and Palestinian flags hanging out of windows and on cars. Someone is drawing small Palestinian flags and gluing then to buses and mailboxes. The public displays of support for Palestine is driven largely by the Palestinian refugee communities you find everywhere in Europe. After all, it is their relatives who are being genocided by the zionists.

Meanwhile no normal people can be arsed to display support for the zionists. The only attempt I know of is some attention-seeking chud councillor who demanded that the zionist fish should be flown next to the Ukrainian one on city hall but AFAIK nothing came of it. Normal people who doesn't directly support Palestine take the "it's the Middle East, they're all killing eachother all the time" position which is as stupid and racist as it is lazy but at least it doesn't accept the premise of the precious zionist state who must be defended at all cost.

The only people who do support the genocide is the majority of politicians and similar professional opinion-havers. They are hardline zionists but they have no popular base for it. People here are as racist and exceptionalist as any westerners but even they can sense that the zionist position is one to be avoided.

Yemen is in the war and doing what they can from their geographical position. The main problem I think t hey have is Saudi being in the way and they can't just put troops on ships because the US have deployed strike forces that would almost certainly attack if they knew that was occurring. Unless the US naval blocking assets are removed the only acts they'll be able to perform are missile strikes.

The #Yemeni Armed Forces: We are ready to do everything within our sacred duty to defend Palestine. If we were next to Palestine, we would go with hundreds of thousands of #Yemenis to fight with the #Palestinian people. We are ready for that, but we need a way to reach Palestine.

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War in 1919 to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. The day is also marked by war remembrances in several other non-Commonwealth countries.

In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. ("At the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.

If you protest war crimes you're a "heckler"?

At a campaign reception in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, a heckler who identified herself as a rabbi interrupted President Biden and demanded a cease-fire between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group. “As a rabbi, I need you to call for a cease-fire right now,” the woman, who gave her name to reporters as Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg, shouted. In response, Biden said he does believe there should be a “pause” in order to get more people out of Gaza. The woman was escorted out by security singing “cease-fire now.”

b from MoA absolutely cooking today after describing the attempted ethnic cleansing policy of the Biden White House, describing the genocide as “humanitarian corridor” and “a plan for safe passage to Egypt”

This is another failure of the dimwit policies cooked up by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and SecState Anthony Blinken as directed by their Zionist puppeteers.

I for one support all plans that would allow them to safely leave Washington DC. They can move to Antarctica or to wherever the climate is severe enough to cool their genocidal moods.

Brazilian Landless Workers Send Two Tons of Food to Gaza

The Brazilian Air Force will transport the humanitarian aid cargo, which consists of corn and powdered milk.

On Monday, the Brazilian Foreign Affairs Ministry announced that it will send two tons of food to the Gaza Strip. Previously, this South American country sent a shipment of water purifiers and medicines that are already in Egypt.

The new shipment of humanitarian aid consists of corn and powdered milk donated by the Landless Movement (MST), a left-wing peasant organization that has historically expressed its solidarity with Palestine.

The cargo will be transported by a Brazilian Air Force plane to Egypt, on whose border with the Gaza Strip humanitarian aid sent by dozens of countries is concentrated and which enters the Palestinian territory in dribs and drabs.

Entry is through the Egyptian Rafah crossing to the Awja crossing, where loads are inspected before entering the Gaza Strip. These procedures occur despite the serious deterioration of the humanitarian and health situation in the Palestinian enclave.

Currently, some 30 Brazilians and thousands of citizens of other countries are trapped in the Palestinian territory waiting for an agreement to allow their departure to Egypt.

The offensive launched by the Israeli occupation forces, however, has prevented the formation of a humanitarian corridor that allows the departure of people from Gaza, a Palestinian territory that remains under incessant Israeli bombardment.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Lebanese militias attacked an Israeli occupation army position on the border with Lebanon. The operation did not generate casualties on any of the fighting sides.

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

A call from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine to all the honorable people of our nation and the free people of the world:

In the face of the flowing blood in Gaza, words no longer work: Rise... Revolt... Storm the embassies of the aggressor nations... Burn them... Destroy them. Demand a halt to the flow of oil and gas to countries complicit in the aggression.

Time is of the essence, and history is unforgiving... Be assured that the people of Palestine will not let you down.

O free people, the fascist enemy seeks revenge on the Jabalia refugee camp, as well as the Nuseirat and Shati' camps, committing horrific massacres, which exceed in brutality what the Nazis did in their dark history, using six tons of destructive American bombs. A tragedy that appeals to human conscience; anyone who remains silent towards this killer is complicit in the genocide and depriving Palestinians of their humanity.

A morally, politically, and militarily defeated entity wants to claim victory over our Palestinian blood.

The Jabalia camp is the womb of the revolution and a symbol of Palestinian resilience and resistance, standing first in the battle of honor and duty, a spirit characterized by its strength, steadfastness, and high bravery. With its ground campaign, the enemy wants to cover its inevitable failure with massacres against Palestinian civilians, saluting the men of resistance in their various formations who are facing this aggression, and our steadfast people who reject displacement plans despite the genocidal war waged against them by the enemy.

Great Gaza, with the stature of its heroes and the blood of its children, is our roots deep in the ground. It will rise from the ashes.

Verbal stances don't shoot down planes or prevent missiles from falling on the heads of the innocent. Therefore, we call:

  • To expel the ambassadors of aggression.
  • A cry of anger and dignity to the entire the Arab street to stop the flow of oil and gas to countries complicit in the aggression.
  • It is time to close the American military bases in the Arab countries.
  • For the workers' unions in global ports to refuse to unload or load any weapon shipments from or to the zionist entity.

Let us trust in our people, our self, our dignity, our freedom, and our right to life.

Also worth pointing out that the more the zionists lie the more emboldened antisemites around the world are going to become. We're a couple steps away from groypers rightfully pointing out that israel is lying, and therefore it means the holocaust was fake too, because Israel lies, ofc they're wrong, but you get what I mean.

French senators propose bill to make Zionism criticism a criminal offence

A group consisting of 16 French senators, most of them associated with the political party The Republicans (LR), introduced a bill, led by Senator Stéphane Le Rudulier, aimed at making anti-Zionism a criminal offense. Senator Le Rudulier argues that the rise in anti-Semitism is linked to hatred of Israel.

The proposed bill, which was submitted for a first reading in the Senate, includes penalties for various offenses related to anti-Zionism. It seeks to punish those who deny the existence of the State of Israel with one year of imprisonment and a fine of EUR 45,000. Those who insult the State of Israel would face two years imprisonment and a fine of EUR 75,000, and those who directly provoke hatred or violence against the State of Israel with five years of imprisonment and a fine of EUR 100,000.

“With 16 senators we demand the criminalization of anti-Zionism. The explosion of anti-Semitism is fueled by hatred of Israel, the false nose of hatred of Jews Anti-Zionism could expose its perpetrators to up to 5 years in prison and a fine of 75,000 euros,” Le Rudulier stated on X. Senator Le Rudulier has also called for the dissolution of La France Insoumise, as well as parties that have advocated terrorism and Hamas, which he says call for the destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews. In a letter addressed to Élisabeth Borne, the senator denounces the presence of what he calls a “fifth column of Palestinian terrorism in France” and calls for the dissolution of several political groups accused of advocating terrorism.

Some political commentators have said there has been an increase in the conflation of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Richard Wagman, the honorary president of the French Jewish Union for Peace (UJFP), has criticized the conflation, emphasizing that anti-Semitism is a form of racial discrimination and hatred, while Zionism and anti-Zionism are political ideas.

Hamas unveils a new the-doohickey

Student protesters walk out of Hillary Clinton’s class at Columbia.

Nearly 300 students were seated at Columbia University on Wednesday afternoon for a two-hour lecture on women’s involvement in peace processes delivered by Hillary Clinton and Keren Yarhi-Milo, the dean of Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs.

Not even halfway through the class, about 30 students stood up and gathered their computers and backpacks, as part of a planned student walkout. They joined several dozen other protesters congregating near the lobby of the building.

The demonstrators, who sat quietly in a common area in the International Affairs Building — many of them in face masks — were protesting what they perceived as the school’s role in publicly shaming students whose photographs appeared last week on the video screen panels on a truck seen near campus. The screens showed the faces of students beneath the words “Columbia’s Leading Antisemites.” The students said the photographs were taken from a “private and secure” online platform for students at the School of International and Public Affairs.

They demanded “immediate legal support for affected students” and “a commitment to student safety, well being and privacy.”

The students whose images appeared on the video panels were members of groups that had signed a statement about the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel that said, in part, “The weight of responsibility for the war and casualties undeniably lies with the Israeli extremist government.”

As Ms. Yarhi-Milo and Mrs. Clinton’s class was finishing around 4 p.m., the demonstrators shushed themselves into silence, anticipating that the dean and the former secretary of state would soon walk past the gathered students. That time never came. Word spread that Ms. Yarhi-Milo and Mrs. Clinton had left the building through a side door.

A spokeswoman for Columbia said the university had no comment. The protest came the day after the school announced a new task force on doxxing and student safety.
