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.

Why?
Public declarations by Hamas feeds the liberal machine. I would hate for legitimate anti genocide protests to get hit with the terrorism stick.
If the protests have fangs, they will be hit with the terrorism label regardless.
So anti-imperialists groups shouldn't voice solidarity with each other because imperialists will vilify them by association? That sounds effectively like what you're saying, whether you mean it that way or not. The reality is that opposing the occupation of Palestine will already get you the terrorist label by association in the eyes of some. The imperialist news machine does not play by rules of fairness as to whether it's justified to vilify you yet. Certainly there's analysis and experimentation to be had in how to go about educating where needed and maintaining the support of the masses, but if you are always viewing it as fear of being viewed as dangerous opposition, you have already ceded ground to the idea that the genocidal imperialist machine has the authority to legitimately and honestly name what you are doing, to speak for you.
