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.
The genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.
Please don't stop talking about Palestine.
Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.
Context on the music festival:
Can't imagine rolling face directly between the world's largest prison camp, and the guards that kept them there.
No shit the militants headed directly for Re'im.
Can anyone help with an unpaywalled version of:

Archive.org leads to a cookies acceptance page, and 12ft.io doesn't seem to work. The bit I can read has details about armed security and a tank at the entrance to the festival.
The article seems to say that the tank was there before Hamas. So maybe the ravers were caught in the crossfire.
That's how I read it as well.
