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.

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.

Will the US invade Palestine if Israel falls? Obviously I don't want this to happen, but what are the chances that if the Israeli government falls, inshallah, the US will invade directly? They can't directly get involved in Ukraine or Taiwan due to the presence of Russia and China, but because there is no current Palestinian state there would be no formal military the US would have to contend with. Put another way, how did South Africans ensure the US didn't invade them after the fall of apartheid?

Biden once in the 90s or something said that if Israel didn't exist then the US would "invent" it. edit: 1986

Hezbollah will probably join, Houthis in Yemen said they would fire missiles if US became involved. Iran supports Palestine till Jerusalem is liberated.

Golan Heights if it joined Syria would probably remain Syrian.

The famous clip is from ‘86. There was a clip from last year where he reiterated it and said he had repeated such many times before.

Israel has nukes. The US will be required to intervene
