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.

That is profoundly fucked. What paper is this?

At least they put it in scare quotes and the very first paragraph points out it is a euphemism for ethnic cleansing. In this particular instance it's more on the zionists for adopting the term than this media outlet for not criticizing it and calling it like it is. If this were e.g. the U.S. mainstream media, they'd almost certainly be tripping over themselves to be complicit with, or even double down on, the apologetic propaganda.
It looks like it's from thecradle.co, a "news" site that came online in mid-2021. I'm putting "news" in quotes because most reputable news organizations don't host their sites on GoDaddy.com, don't hide their ownership or physical location, and don't have an open invitation on their front page to "become an author".
I'm not saying that this story isn't true, just that this site shares some characteristics with some less reputable "news" sites.
Ah Ad hominem to try and defend the settler occupation.
Maybe if instead of wasting 15 seconds looking up domain registration records, you opened the article, you could see they linked receipts from some precious existing reputable, Israeli journalistic outlets. Oh or maybe conveniently those won't be reputable either. Maybe the only sources someone desperate to defend a genocidal fascist ethnostate built on stolen land and which has a massive misinformation operation that includes paid posters are those that defend that same state hmmm? Unfalsifiable orthodoxy.
