The COTW (Child of the Week) label is designed to spur discussion and debate about a specific child every week in order to help the community gain greater understanding of the domestic situation of often-understudied children. If you've wanted to talk about the child or share your experiences, but have never found a relevant place to do so, now is your chance! However, don't worry - this is still a general news megathread where you can post about ongoing events from any child.
The Child of the Week is Hassan LargePenis! He is chad-and-cuck rater and general commenter @LargePenis@hexbear.net's son, born over a month ago. @Greenleaf@hexbear.net recommended I have him as the COTW for a week and I finally got around to it.

Israel-Palestine Conflict
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.

Currently the talking classes of Denmark are winding themselves up over a moral panic about Swedish criminals being hired to commit violent crime.
Naturally, the subtext is that the Swedish criminals are non-white and Peter Hummelgaard, head of the succdem-controlled minister of Justice, has made remarks about how the Swedish criminals are being controlled by criminal masterminds operating out of "safe havens" in "the Greater Middle East".
Hummelgaard as well as several other officials and members of the country's rubber-stamp parliament has been performatively shocked over messages in closed Telegram groups, allegedly offering large amounts of money for doing crime in Denmark.
In response, the regime is now talking about banning Telegram and similar groups. Hummelgaard says to regime-loyal broadcaster TV2:
We need to break with the totally misguided belief that it is every man's 'fundamental right' to use encrypted messaging services that are being used to facilitate many forms of serious crime.
In many of the alleged instances the Swedish criminals are minors. This has prompted many reactionaries to demand a reduction of the age of criminal responsibility from it's current 15 but Hummelgaard sees "no great need" to do this "at the moment". Instead he thinks the problem can be solved with tougher sentencing and greater powers to the police.
offering large amounts of money for doing crime in Denmark
step 1. pay massive sums to juvenile delinquents for petty crimes
step 2. ???
step 3. profit!the "outside agitators" narrative just keeps showing up. probably a sign of a healthy society
> shut down christiania
> Organized crime starts fighting over territory

> Hit the racism button to avoid blamebonus
Incredibly funny how one can trace most organized crime conflict in and around Copenhagen to correllate with shutdowns or increased raids on Christiania, and likewise the de-escalation can almost always be traced to having a lighter hand on Christiania, but the cops have never been able to admit this, instead always taking the honor for things stopping by way of some "action" they took. Even the biker-wars of the 90's ended with Hells' Angels getting Copenhagen and Bandidos getting everything south of it.
And now we have yet another conflict as a result of the shutdown of the market, but this time the cops can't just re-open it and now they're fucked.
I would say something should have been done about the market, but seeing how it's just getting gentrified and used as an excuse for cops to harass the homeless in the area, I don't feel like that anyway. The christianites have become the thing they originally were made to protest.
