Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.

The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.

Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.

I don’t know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

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.

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.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
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.

    Foreign Ministers of Cuba, Bolivia and Nicaragua Dennounce the Interference of U.S in the Region - Telesur English

    Article

    During their interventions, the three countries also reiterated the end of coercive and unilateral measures by the United States Government against Latin American nations.

    The foreign ministers of Cuba, Bolivia and Nicaragua denounced on Thursday the foreign interference of the United States in the internal affairs of other countries, Position taken during the 24th Meeting of the Political Council of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Treaty on Trade of the Peoples (ALBA – TCP).

    Cuban Chancellor Bruno Rodriguez said that “the regional oligarchies are resorting to policies apparently banished as coups d’état with the connivance of the US government”.

    In that regard, he referred to the coup against Bolivia in 2019 and the latest attempt. He also mentioned the allegations made in this regard by the Governments of Honduras and Colombia.

    Rodríguez denounced: “Today we see with concern how one of the founding countries of this alliance is attacked with marked belligerence. Venezuela is once again facing the economic, political and media arsenal of imperialism and right-wing extremism aimed at dynamising its sovereign process of economic, social and cultural development”.

    “Our brothers in Nicaragua are equally the target of unjust unilateral measures and fierce interference campaigns by the US government,” he added.

    He also mentioned that Cuba is suffering the most brutal, prolonged and intense aggression against its economy and its people, and that the United States Government keeps it on the arbitrary and unilateral list of states which allegedly sponsor terrorism.

    Rodríguez also denounced the genocide against the Palestinian people. “We demand a wide, Just and lasting settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the basis of the establishment of two states, enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable right to self-determination and to have an independent and sovereign state within the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital and with the guarantee of return of refugees”.

    “Our country supports the General Assembly of the United Nations to take decisive and immediate action and decide once and for all the full membership of the State of Palestine in the UN».

    Valdrack Jaentschke: “The worthy, free and sovereign peoples of the world are facing old and new forms of aggression”.

    Nicaragua’s Foreign Minister, Valdrack Jaentschke, said that the Venezuelan people continues along with President Nicolás Maduro “to face all the aggressions and destabilizations of the imperialists victoriously”.

    Jaentschke stated: “Humanity is in critical moments, moments of birth of a new history, of the emergence of a new world order more just, more collective, more solidary and as all birth the emergence of this new world order, multipolar, without hegemonies that are imposed is hard, is difficult, it’s painful”.

    He stressed that the world’s worthy, free and sovereign peoples face old and new forms of aggression. “The rifles and gunboats of the past, today reborn in new forms of aggression euphemistically called sanctions, are the same military interventions and the same interferences perpetrated by the Yankee empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries”. He also expressed his solidarity with Venezuela and Cuba.

    Celinda Sosa: “We must continue on the path of peace”

    The Bolivian Foreign Minister, Celinda Sosa, stressed that people face serious challenges in the face of the multiple crises that the world is experiencing today.

    Sosa confirmed that the hegemonic powers and imperialism threaten our unity. “We must continue along this path our commitment to the defence of sovereignty and non-intervention in our internal affairs”.

    Also condemned the blockade imposed on Cuba by the White House and demanded that it be lifted immediately and likewise excluded from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism, “an unfair measure affecting its economy and preventing the full development of Cubans”.

    Sosa also demanded an immediate cessation of the coercive measures imposed on Nicaragua and Venezuela, and of the Israeli genocide against the people of Palestine.

    NBC claiming a Hezbollah spokesperson was on Iranian TV today saying that Nasrallah was not in the buildings struck and is fine.

    This is from one of those scrolling news feeds with no added context or proof so take with a grain of salt. Hopefully true though

    Waiting for a response for any message in the family group chat right now is fucking torture, I literally can’t deal with it anymore. I’ve sent my wife and the kid to her mom’s for a few days, they can’t see me and my dad like this. The two hours it took for my uncle to see the message and respond today were absolute hell, fuck this life. My aunt has little kids no older than 14, what if something happens. I’ve called my cousin from my mom’s side who has a little farm outside of Damascus in Syria, he can take in my dad’s family from Beirut, but how the fuck will they even leave with this situation, and my cousin is already dirt poor, how will he feed them. Too many thoughts spinning, nowhere to scream them out, nowhere to go and nothing to do, I almost wish I was there.

    It’s been seven hours, if Nasrallah was dead it’d be out by now, this is a media blitz designed to distract from the civilian deaths caused by the bombings, bombings that took place while the UN was in session and the perpetrator was participating

    Hezbollah reports are straight up being ignored in favor of Reuter based “Hezbollah sources” because this media operation is nothing but an attempt to suffocate the story before it becomes an international scandal, there is evidence of active collusion or parallel coordination by all major western news orgs and even Al Jazeera, they’re all pushing the Nasrallah angle over the civilians deaths

    Truthout: Kansas City Tenants Launch National Rent Strike to Demand Federal Rent Cap

    Tenant unions protesting dismal living conditions at two apartment complexes in Kansas City, Missouri, have voted to withhold rent on October 1 if their demands are not met — the opening salvo in what organizers say is the first coordinated rent strike aimed at pressuring federal regulators to cap rent increases and protect tenants from abusive corporate landlords.

    …

    The Tenant Union Federation said tenants organizing in North Carolina, Michigan, Illinois, South Carolina, Kentucky, Montana and Illinois are preparing to join the picket line and vote in the coming weeks on withholding rent from corporate landlords that similarly benefit from federally guaranteed financing.

    I’ve watched a couple of minutes of Aaron Máté debating hasbara on Piers Morgan, and it always amazes me how natural they try to make settler colonialism. One of the debaters was Fleur Hassan.

    Fleur Hassan-Nahoum is an Israeli politician, media expert and policy maker. She currently serves as Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem in charge of foreign relations, international economic development and tourism.

    Fleur Hassan-Nahoum was born in London and grew up in Gibraltar. She is the daughter of Sir Joshua Hassan, who served as the first Mayor of Gibraltar and, later, also served as the first Chief Minister of Gibraltar,[2] and his second wife, Lady Marcelle Bensimon,[3] both of Moroccan and Portuguese Jewish origin.

    Hassan-Nahoum grew up bilingual, speaking Spanish and English In 2001, Hassan-Nahoum emigrated to Israel.

    Imagine having to debate settlers like this during the ongoing settler colonial genocide. They condescendingly talk to you about the “generous peace deals” they offered to the Palestinians and Iran being the puppet master of Hamas and Hezbollah.

    It’s crazy. Fuckin mad world. Go back to London for fucks sake.

    Very conflicting reports on Nasrallah, reuters are saying their Hezbollah source says he’s alive. One Israeli report is also claiming that the commander of the Revolutionary Guards in Syria and Lebanon was present at the meeting with Nasrallah.

    EDIT: Fed accounts are all saying dead.
