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.

It's hard to know what's real but I saw a video of soldiers ducking and diving between the festival goers while shooting at Hamas.
Oh wow, I haven't seen that, but it makes sense.
It might be what's discussed in the article linked below, because there seemed to be a tank at the beginning. Tbh the Israelis seem quite disorganised. It's not like they're grabbing civvies to hide behind. More like they're just as scared as them. That would make sense for people who've signed up as security at a festival mainly to watch people dance, break up a few fights, and prevent unarmed people going on a stage. I don't really know what uniforms the IDF or Israeli police usually wear, though.
Was it the guys in blue with pistols? I saw that one, and I agree with you there.
Yes, that sounds right. They weren't in camo or anything.
