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 was reading this now and I almost felt as if I was reading about the current Israel Palestine conflict.

It seems that what the Jewish did to Palestinians in 1948 is similar to what Jewish suffered in 66 CE.

I wonder how much of what we see today is just a copy and paste from stuff 2000+ years old.

  1. I don't get what in this region people are still in tribal hate. Is it due to the geography of the place, or some factors we have no idea of?

  2. according to Wikipedia, this was what resulted in separating christianism from Judaism. I never knew they were close together. How interesting!

Thanks for any ideas

I don't mean to come off like I'm attacking you, I'm just pointing out red flags that make me very skeptical of a source or an author, sorry if it reads as aggressive. I am also learning from everyone's input on this thread and I'm glad you brought this up for discussion.

If it was not for this women or an American Christian US Army major named Jason Criss Howk who made the first translation of Quran which took my fear of Muslims out I'd still be buying Trump and other haters propaganda against them.

I also try to read Israeli papers and learn their religous books even if I don't agree with their current practices. I also read Hindu stuff, Jehova witness, Mormons, African religions, whatever I find I'm Front of me even If I don't understand or don't agree.

I don't care if people are white, blue, blinking neon or glitter colors, just want to learn from them and prove myself wrong if I'm wrong.

Now I see someone speaking bad of this woman just because she's white, even though she was good in taking the hate out of many people, and I feel tired.

I once read the auto biography of Malcom X, who was totally anti white, and he says when he went to Mecca all people of all colors treated him the same. It was the first time in his life, he says, he felt people where color blind and this changed his life.

Those are the facts that somehow contribute for my being triggered now. I cannot articulate more deeply how they connect.

But you are entitled to your opinion and who am I to judge you.

Have a nice day
