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.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA 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.
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.

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.

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

Less videos are happening today. I suspect the population is now listening to the media and military requests not to publish video. The number of sirens going off seems to be about the same so I don't think Hezbollah have reduced their operation.

Another morning, another day of Israel ruining the news cycle with their genocidal war crimes. So tired of their bullshit, I just want to read about horserace electoralism and laugh at malding chuds and libs.

A lot of dooming in this thread. Nasrallah is a massive loss, he'll be missed and honoured as a true hero. But we're really missing the forest for the trees here. What's next for Israel? What wins do they even have left? What happens when tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and every day after that, when the rockets keep flying into northern Israel, when the settlers are still unable to return to their homes, when the residents of Haifa keep running for cover? Nasrallah has already won, the decline of the entity is baked in. There's nothing for them to do but death, death at a mass scale, but none of it changes the game. Hezbollah will keep pounding the Israelis, and a thousand Nasrallahs wait in the ranks. Leaders are important, but when the people have resolve you cannot stop them. If you need some hope today watch The Battle of Algiers, it shows how even if you kill everybody, you eliminate all the leaders, you cannot kill the movement. You cannot win.

Hamas: “The Resistance Will Not Surrender” - Telesur English

Article

The Zionist entity continues to escalate attacks in Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank with the complicit support of the US.

The Palestinian Islamic resistance movement Hamas assured Israel and its allies on Wednesday that they will never surrender to their aggressions, no matter how long the current siege of the Zionist entity against the Gaza Strip.

In that regard, a senior Hamas figure, Osama Hamdan, said: “We do not want the period of aggression against Gaza and the people of Lebanon to be prolonged. The occupiers and their supporters must know that no matter how long it takes, the Resistance will not surrender”.

Hamdan said that the ceasefire by the occupation will allow the cessation of resistance responses from Lebanon and Palestine. The Palestinian leader also warned that one of the enemy’s objectives is to isolate the two movements, but he said that this will not happen.

“Our brothers on the Resistance fronts in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq understand very well the objectives and intentions of the enemy,” he said.

Hamdan accused the US and the West of supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza and obstructing international support. He stressed that the allies of Tel Aviv know what are the demands of Palestine and Lebanon: to stop the current genocidal attacks and end the occupation.

He said that the failure in Gaza of the war strategy of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, pushed him to attack Lebanon. The Israeli army has been carrying out a series of large-scale attacks on Lebanon since Monday, which have claimed the lives of more than 600 people and injured about 2,000.

Haven't had time to check in on the video front much today but a cursory glance suggests very little has changed compared to yesterday. Regular sirens everywhere in the country, some videos of missiles but not as much as day one, etc etc.

This is the new normal.

I wonder what it's like to be a Zionist. Are they happy? Is morale at an all-time high? Are they confident that the genocide will be complete and Israel's ultimate perfect victory is assured? Is Israel doing everything they want them to do and just racking up W after W, while the Resistance is too scared to respond? Have any of them died from being overloaded by constant ecstasy? Or is all of this just a matter of perspective?

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission adopted measures announced on Friday that ask exchanges to validate carbon offset derivatives, which base their prices on those of financial instruments bought by companies to offset emissions.

Earlier this summer, Treasury secretary Janet Yellen unveiled guidelines for developers selling credits, and for the companies buying them to offset emissions. Former US climate envoy John Kerry has also thrown his weight behind carbon credit markets, launching a state department-led initiative in 2022 aimed at decarbonising regional power sectors.

Despite the political momentum behind efforts to develop voluntary carbon markets, Behnam cautioned that the energy transition would “take decades”.

“This notion that we’re going to be able to just transition to renewables in the near future and not rely on carbon-based energy sources . . . it’s not reality, right?” said [CFTC chair Rostin] Behnam. “The transition is going to take time.”

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
— In the coming days, the resistance will shatter the enemy's euphoria and make it pay for its crimes.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine mourned the martyred leaders who ascended in the enemy's attacks and massacres in recent days in Lebanon, especially the leaders accompanying His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah.

The Front stressed that despite the serious loss of these important leaders, these losses will not weaken the resistance, nor affect its capability or determination in the battle. Rather, it will increase its determination to continue the battle to support the resistance in the Gaza Strip and defend its people.

The Front stressed that the resistance, in all its factions on all fronts, today is more cohesive and determined than ever before, and is able to manage the battle with competence, backed by an unrelenting fighting will and a firm determination to deter this criminal enemy, regardless of the challenges, the crimes of the occupation, and the loss of heroic leaders.

The Front stressed that the zionist bet on massacres and assassinations has miscalculated. The coming days will expose the enemy's illusions and shatter its false euphoria, when it starts paying heavy prices for its brutal crimes.

The Front concluded its statement, stressing that the resistance today is more aware and determined to continue the same path and honor the blood of the martyred leaders. The coming days will prove that the blood of these leaders will remain fuel for the continuation and escalation of the resistance. There will be no retreat from the path of confrontation, no matter how great the sacrifices are.

Die Zeit found the perfect framing device in a young man the reporter just happened upon in front of the bomb crater south of Beirut, and apparently follows him around all night. He's perfect for the story. Too perfect.

He's looking for his family from one of the nearby damaged buildings (no worries happy ending). His father is Hezbollah, he's Hezbollah technically, but doesn't want to become a fighter against his father's wishes. They had a fight and he's the black sheep of the family now. He works at a hair salon and rather likes beautiful hair, no, beauty itself! He blames Hezbollah for this. He says there were of course weapons at the Hezbollah HQ next to his home. He thinks Israel is just too powerful; can't be beaten. He just wants to live in a real country with a proper army and a president.

This conversation with a young man who lives and grew up in the heart of the Hezbollah movement, who, as he says, is of course a member, like everyone in this neighborhood, but is not convinced, who criticizes Hezbollah so bluntly amidst a crowd of irritated Hezbollah guards, is completely improbable - and perhaps only possible for this reason. Nobody pays attention to us anymore.

OK now they're just fucking with me, right?

Brazilian President Lula da Silva and Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuse Israel's prime minister of genocide. They also say that the UN urgently needs to be reformed.

Both said how can the UN have the strength to create a country like Israel, but not have the same strength to create a Palestinian state. Lula da Silva added that Benjamin Netanyahu does not respect the UN, or any law. That he is a criminal and a genocider.

Gustavo Petro and Lula da Silva believe that the UN Security Council should be tougher on Israel and force an immediate ceasefire. They also accused European countries and the United States of spending money on wars in Ukraine and Israel, but not sending any aid to Latin American, African and Asian countries suffering from climate change. This was agreed decades ago but has never been fulfilled.

Palestine (Palestinian Authority) at the UN: «Stop Sending Weapons to Israel» - Telesur English

Article

He called for the suspension of Israel’s membership in the United Nations. He demanded a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the attacks of the occupiers in the West Bank.

Palestinian National Authority (PNA) President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday called for sanctions against the Zionist entity in the ongoing genocide it is committing against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

Abbas spoke at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly. He rose to the podium in the midst of sustained applause and thus began his speech: We will not leave. Palestine is our homeland, the home of our parents and grandparents, and it will remain ours. If anyone has to leave, it must be the usurpers».

He called for the suspension of Israel’s membership in the United Nations. He demanded a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the attacks of the occupiers in the West Bank. He further stated that the State of Palestine will exercise full sovereignty over Gaza and begin its reconstruction once the occupiers have withdrawn from there.

He stated that his people for almost a year have been the object of one of the most heinous crimes in history, by the genocidal war perpetrated by Israel, which to date has killed more than 40,000 martyrs in Gaza alone, with thousands still under the rubble and more than 100,000 injured. He detailed that the occupation killed more than 15,000 children.

He urged the international community to stop the genocide and held it responsible for what is happening in the occupied territories of Palestine. «Stop sending weapons to Israel», he urged.

It also denounced the illegal construction of settlements in the West Bank, the destruction of hundreds of homes of the Arab population and the systematic and violent attacks against Palestinian civilians by occupation soldiers or settlers.

He said that hundreds of Palestinian families have been annihilated and their names have disappeared from the civil registry. Thousands of people have died as a result of the spread of disease, epidemics and lack of medicines and water. Thousands have had to move repeatedly in search of safety, fleeing Israeli aggression.

He demanded the arrest of members of the Zionist cabinet who want to destroy the al-Aqsa mosque and build a Hebrew temple there, and reiterated that al-Aqsa belongs to the Muslims. «Instead of opening itself to reason, Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza and recently opened another criminal chapter by attacking Lebanon. We demand that it be terminated immediately».

«If the Zionist entity believes that it will be free from accountability for its massacres and genocide since 1948 to today, he is wrong», he admitted.

Also held the U.S. accountable. by using the veto to obstruct resolutions in the agency’s Security Council, which demanded an immediate ceasefire from Israel.

He questioned the White House for providing funds and deadly weapons to the Zionist entity, with which it massacred thousands of women and children. Recalled that the U.S. also voted against giving Palestine full membership in the UN: Why the U.S. Why not. Does it take away from our people the legitimate right to be free?» he questioned.

Similarly, he called for the creation of an international peacekeeping force between Palestine and Israel after the end of the current siege on the occupied territories to ensure the security of both states.
