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.

The Biden administration, complicit in the brutal war on our Palestinian people, does not want to acknowledge that it faces a U.S. public that has discovered the truth about the Nazi entity and has sided with human values, deciding to stand on the right side of history. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, and their suppression today means a costly electoral bill that the Biden administration will pay sooner or later.

It's because the Islamophobia of the past 40 or something years has built an infrastructure that demonizes any Muslim affiliated group, and people automatically assume the worst of Hamas even though they know nothing about them, this is why it was so easy for them to lie about the 40 beheaded babies and the rape and whatever else the Hasbara said, but to comfort you, Hamas is as progressive as most third world center-parties, it doesn't do anti-communist action, they've said they're willing to participate in a parliamentary democracy.

You can read the 2017 charter https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hamas-2017-document-full They're not leftists or secularists, but they're not ISIS, hell they're not even Saudi Arabia
