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 remember when Ukraine was pissed off that Israel wouldn't give them an Iron Dome system.
To me, it was always obvious the much ballyhooed Iron Dome wasn't that effective, because it even let the puny Palestinian rockets through pretty frequently. Now imagine if someone fired at them with an actual military-grade rocket battery.
Exactly, the thing can barely shoot down home made pop rockets, it has no chance against actual missiles a professional military uses. Giving Iron Dome to Ukraine would've exposed it for the sham that it is, and would also be costly as fuck. Israel decided to avoid the obvious PR disaster. It would've basically been the repeat of the Patriot debacle. My fav part about it was how it fires like 30 missiles each costing a few million in a space of a couple of minutes, and still failed to intercept the kinzhal. It was immediately shown to be equal parts ineffective and unsustainable as a means of air defence.
