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.

What if (and I'm seriously asking what if) the left collectively decided to simply ignore WaPo, Nyt and other serial propaganda outlets and simply cover news from more credible sources?
Like the only reason to point out the double standards is because we believe that they have a large readership base, but I've only ever read headlines from these publications on news aggregators. So what happens if we stop giving them attention?
This is great in theory.
On the other hand, we still have hope that we might reach people, and sometimes that means using their sources as a starting point to point out contradictions.
Kinda like athiests reading the bible.
