Palestine
A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Here's another one: This article from an Australian (certainly not sympathetic to Russia) human rights group ranks Ukraine as around third of fourth worst globally for modern slavery (a big part of which is trafficking). And that was based on data prior to 2022!
It is absolutely certain that things have gotten much much worse since, as many more people are displaced and martial law has given unprecedented powers to the hyper-corrupt authorities. Unfortunately I don't expect any western or western aligned group to be able to report accurately on the current state of trafficking in Ukraine.
Not only has this become much more politicized of an issue and there is a very strong political pressure in the West to keep Ukraine's image clean, but it has also become much more difficult for honest reporters to investigate these sorts of things in Ukraine - if you even tried you'd get accused of being a Russian spy/propagandist and thrown in jail, because they definitely don't want the bad PR!
