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.

Virtually any situation ever could be worse. That doesn't mean it makes sense to support something horrific just cause it's possible it could be worse if you don't. That kind of mindset will have you throwing your full support behind literal genocide, instead of putting your foot down.

And quite frankly, if you are incapable of putting your foot down for something like genocide, that implies you don't view it as a problem in the first place and are only concern trolling when it comes to harm reduction.
