Image is of the aftermath of an Israeli bombing of Beirut in 2006.


We are now almost one year into the war and genocide in Gaza. Despite profound hardship, the Gazan Resistance continues its battles against the enemy, entirely undeterred. Despite Israeli proclamations throughout 2024 that they have cleared out Hamas from various places throughout Gaza, we still see regular attacks and ambushes against Zionist forces. Just today (Monday), Al Qassam fighters ambushed and destroyed another convoy of Israeli vehicles. The predictions early on in the war were that Israel would defeat Hamas in mere months, needing only until December, then January, and so on. This has proven very much untrue. Israel is stuck in the mud; unable to destroy their enemy due to their lack of knowledge about the "Gaza Metro" and, of course, a lack of actual fighting skill, given how many times I've seen Zionists getting shot while they gaze wistfully out of windows.

The same quagmire will occur in Lebanon, only considerably worse. Both Nasrallah and Sinwar possess a similar strategy of luring Zionist forces onto known, friendly territory, replete with traps and ambushes, to bleed them dry of equipment, manpower, and the will to continue fighting. The scale of the invasion could fall anywhere on the spectrum from "very limited" - more of a series of raids on Hezbollah positions than truly trying to occupy land - to a total invasion which would seek to permanently take control of Southern Lebanon. Neither is likely to destroy, or even substantially diminish Hezbollah's fighting abilities. This is not wishful thinking: Hezbollah has convincingly defeated Israel twice before in its history, pushing them from their territory, and both times Hezbollah had almost no missiles and a limited supply of other equipment, relying on improvisation as often as not. The Hezbollah of 2024 is an entirely different organization to that of the early 2000s.

Attempts to drive wedges between Hezbollah and the rest of Lebanon are also unlikely to succeed. Hezbollah is not just a military force, it is extremely interlinked into various communities throughout Lebanon, drawing upon those communities to recruit soldiers. Throughout its history, it has provided education, healthcare, reconstruction, and dozens of other services one would attribute to a state. Amal Saad's recent suggestion of using "quasi-state actor" as a more respectful replacement for the typical "non-state actor" seems advisable. And the decentralized command structures, compartmented leadership, strong succession planning, and aforementioned community ties almost entirely neutralizes the effectiveness of assassinations. Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem has confirmed that Hezbollah's path has been set by Nasrallah, and his martyrdom will not stop nor even pause their efforts. Additionally, he confirmed that despite the recent attacks by Israel which nominally focussed on destroying missile depots, Hezbollah's supply of weapons has not been degraded, and they are still only using the minimum of their capabilities.

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.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

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

https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.

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.

The State Department rejected Iran's justification for today's missile strikes, stating that the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Iranian nationals—actions against Iranian sovereignty—“occurred weeks ago.”

Israel is committing genocide over an attack that happened a year ago you weasel.

This will be the ground invasion of Lebanon megathread. May God protect everyone. My aunt and her little kids are on their way to the Syrian border now, the plan is that they make their way to Damascus by tomorrow and then stay with my cousin outside of Damascus. Plan B is that they make it to Damascus then register their names with one of the Iraqi refugee settling programs then go to Iraq which will be safer and the kids can actually go to school there without any bureaucratic nightmares. They're resettling Lebanese families in the pilgrim hotels outside of Karbala and Najaf, so that sounds like a more manageable life than my cousin's farm in the Damascus countryside.

Just incredible that Israel is allowed to bomb the shit out of Beirut and terrorize the population of Lebanon under the pretext of “uh yeah Hezbollah is probably around there somewhere”… and the west just sorta shrugs its collective shoulders and says “sure I guess”.

The Israel propaganda is way less thorough than it was back last October. Remember that hilariously fake audio of two “Hamas” commanders? Or all the spinning they tried to do about how an Israeli missile that killed hundreds outside a hospital was really a wayward Hamas rocket? They’re not even bothering with it anymore.

Nice clean room you got there. It would be a shame if we ransack it:

BREAKING: Palestine Action are on the roof of Teledyne's weapons factory, disrupting the producers of crucial components for Israel's F-35 fighter jets.

This one is for Palestine and Lebanon. Resistance until victory!

https://xcancel.com/Pal_action/status/1841405529484063224

Contamination of this clean room will cause severe disruption to the production of Israel's F-35 fighter jet components.

When our government fails to abide by their legal duty to end complicity in genocide, it's up to ordinary people to take action.

Watch this space.

https://xcancel.com/Pal_action/status/1841444322593415592

According to a senior Teledyne manager, contamination of their clean rooms could stop production for up to 12 months.

Actionists just got through to the clean room for Israel's F-35 fighter jet parts.

And does anyone know her accent? It's like an Irish(?)/USian mix.

After this, I will never again fail to mercilessly dunk on any liberal who blathers on about how DPRK, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela are rogue, irrational states. Not while Israel continues to exist in any capacity other than as a terrible memory. This apex reactionary state is the perfect definition of everything liberals complain about in US state enemies, yet Israel's inalienable right to commit war crimes and genocide galore with US weapons and funding is forever unquestioned.

At what point does it become comical even to the unobservant libs who think Russia invaded Ukraine out of nowhere in 2022? How can one think that is a moral black hole beyond the point of no return, yet also apparently that the Israeli invasion of Lebanon is complex and nuanced?

I'm sorry, I hardly use non-Hexbear social media anymore, and day by day I get more incredulous that the garden variety western libs continue to exist like this with no sign of slowing down.

In what appeared a blatant attempt to skirt the warnings, dozens of protesters waved banners that appeared to be very similar to the flag of the terror group. One green and gold flag – colours that represent both Australian sporting teams and Hezbollah – depicted Australian outlaw Ned Kelly holding a gun above his head.

Under the image of Kelly were the words: “The boys in green and gold will win.”

[...]

Alex, an attendee who also had the flag, told The Australian he was simply a “sporting ­enthusiast” who was backing “the green and gold”. “I’m just a sporting enthusiast who is supporting Ned Kelly and the boys in the green and gold,” he said.

Here's basically a claim in the Guardian that Israel has finally just decided that using Iron Dome is too expensive, so it isn't even bothering to try to intercept Iran's missiles. LMFAAAAAAAO.

Guardian: Stopping Iran’s attack would have forced Israel to use sophisticated – and expensive – defences

It, of course, also repeats the claim that the attack was an utter failure because there were allegedly no fatalities. And the usual overblown claims of how effective the missile defense systems are.

Good polling data.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dockworkers at ports from Maine to Texas began walking picket lines early Tuesday in a strike over wages and automation that could reignite inflation and cause shortages of goods if it goes on more than a few weeks.

The contract between the ports and about 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association expired at midnight, and even though progress was reported in talks on Monday, the workers went on strike. The strike affecting 36 ports is the first by the union since 1977.
