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.

So you agree with my summary that it will be a thorn. One that will be swiftly forgotten once we are no longer standing on it. The US has a monopoly on violence. I'm not saying it's justified. I'm stating that it's wise to not pick fights far above your ability to punch.

I don't think your definition of lose and the American definition of lose quite align. The American objective is to inflict violence until the annoyance stops. Once the annoyance stops we have won and we leave. Long-Term stability is irrelevant. The cost in human life is irrelevant.

The only relevance is whether or not the American public wants to see more violence doled out.

Oh yes. Let's all just capitulate to America's interests. Resistance is futile so we should all just accept American hegemony and their psychotic neoliberal doctrine. Gtfo

Hey you do you man. I'm just telling you it's probably not going to be very fun to reside in a a place that has pissed off the military industrial complex. I'm not saying it's proper correct, morally justified or righteous. I'm just stating violence is the language that will be spoken.

Lol.

« We didn’t lose in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc actually, we decided to leave because we were bored of this stupid war already, but we would have definitely won if we decided to stay trust me bro »

Literal US defense department cope.

Once the annoyance stops we have won and we leave.

Ha yes, the US totally got what they wanted in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Etc. And that’s why they left.
