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.

I label the US government as terrorist. Got anything more to say?

One person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter.

One problem is that they made laws of exceptions for terrorists while everyone clapped.
Now they're also speaking about domestic terrorists.
That's how it is, after all, the "land of the free" also have the highest incarceration rate in the world.

Could be worse, could be better, but what can we do except complain online in our little echo chamber ? Hope, i guess, nothing useful per se, "people would rise up if they knew the truth" likes to remind us Caitlin Johnstone.
Not to be unfair, most of us do try to bring the change they want to see at their level, but billionaires can do more, and working all your days to care about your family afterwards don't leave much room for political activism.
