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.

Yea... I've been watching every single second of their coverage of this conflict, and I have NO FUCKING IDEA why you would defend this lib.
Ethan has CONSTANTLY been talking about things only from the Israeli perspective, even while almost 3000 Palestinians including over 700 children have been slaughtered by his country. He routinely perpetuates Israeli state propaganda, including scolding his chat(and turning it off) for DARING to question the pink blood picture that the Israel twitter account released. He refuses to question propaganda like the 'beheaded babies' nonsense
Hila has compared the Hamas freedom fighters to NAZIS IN THE HOLOCAUST. She brought up anti-semitism when this situation has literally nothing to do with that. She's putting out weird israeli persecution complex drawings that show Hamas shooting babies in strollers. She's a fucking zionist, through and through.
In that Leftovers episode you posted, Ethan finally pretended to admit that Palestinians have no one in the world protecting them, and then proceeds to try to 'gotcha' Hasan multiple times by trying to get him to condemn random tweets, including a video of a PALESTINIAN REFUGEE, who simply called Hamas freedom fighters. She was kicked out of her country, and he needs everyone to condemn her words. He finished the episode by bringing up a Hasan clip where he said the IDF routinely rapes Palestinians, and tried to gotcha him again by DENYING THAT THE IDF RAPES PALESTINIANS. He used ChatGPT as he always fucking does to do his 'research', and apparently could only find one single source for IDF rapes, which he denounced because the specific link he had contained no sources. The organization was CAIR, which is very reputable, and his crew member AB's dad WORKS FOR THEM. He sat there denouncing the crimes of the IDF and denouncing a human rights organization that his muslim employee's dad works for. It's fucking gross.
Why hasn't Ethan or Hila apologized for this podcast, where she admits she helped steal Palestinians from their home in a 'terrorist city' BECAUSE SHE WAS BORED???
Stop defending lib zionists. Grow up.
EDIT: also, read this: https://millennialchaos.substack.com/p/if-you-dont-uncritically-support There's more shit that I didn't even mention here, like Hila denying that Israel persecutes Palestinians daily.
Any longtime viewer of H3H3 Productions and especially the H3 Podcast knows Ethan is a fucking moron who spouts out bad takes just about every episode. This is a man who clogged plumbing systems for years by flushing wet wipes before realizing it, then continued clogging another plumbing system for years flushing paper towels instead. Safe to say the man's ability to critically reason is underdeveloped.
I still think Ethan can be funny, but I was getting pretty irked in that live stream when he equated saying Free Palestine (in the wake of the Hamas attack) to saying I Support Terrorists. And he totally bought into and spread the early blatant propaganda.
I also found it particularly disgusting that he had to change 'Free Palestine' to 'Go Palestine' to try to bolster his shitty point. He did it multiple times in the Leftovers episode.
If the position is that Palestinians can fight to liberate the West Bank & Gaza but not ALL of Palestine then that would be a zionist position even if it isn't Greater Isn'treal advocacy
I don't care to moderate my position unless a majority of Palestinian comrades demand we do so.
I don't give a fuck what imperialist nations or settlers want.
I am entitled to an Israeli passport, my ancestors were detained in concentration camps, forced out of their work by nazis and I am not going to contribute in any way to supporting similar crimes.
Israel must be abolished and only those that accept a Palestinian state on all Palestinian land may be allowed to stay.
You are being the white moderate that Martin Luther King spoke of.
There can be no compromise with people intent on committing genocide.
Palestine will achieve it's liberation with or - most likely - without the support of imperialist nations.
The IOF are not invincible, they still haven't dared to put troops into Gaza.
Should I condemn Hamas for resorting to armed resistance when peaceful means have failed? No.
Should I coddle the zionists with soothing words? No.
The people who run the USA aren't going to listen to reason, they have material interest in supporting Isn'treal and that will trump whatever idealistic appeals we may put forward.
And?
I've watched H3 since the .exe days, if you know what that is. Literally over 10 years. This is the final straw, I don't fuck around with zionism and defense of the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.
Care to actually address any of my many arguments? Did you read my substack? This response is utterly fucking useless.
If Ethan gave a shit about illegal West Bank settlements why won't he address the video where he called a Palestinian city a 'terrorist city' and why hasn't Hila apologized for bragging about being so bored that she helped the IDF kidnap Palestinians?
Yea... those questions make no sense to ask Palestinians because they are the victims. Israel is the one that has established an ethnostate, kept Gazans in a concentration camp and is genociding them. It's absolutely wild that you find equivalency in asking Palestinians to condemn Hamas and asking Israelis to condemn Israel. Hila served in the IDF and voluntarily joined a raid on Palestinian homes.
You and Ethan are perfect for each other, it seems. Disgusting zionist.
