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.

At least 24 journalists have been killed since October 7, most of them by the IOF. Israel does not want witnesses to the genocide it wants to commit and is committing in Gaza.

One member of the Ontario provincial assembly tried to and was not only banned from speaking in the legislature but kicked out of the NDP

Quote from the article:

The controversy began earlier this month when Jama, 29, posted a statement on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, that called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as well as an "end to all occupation of Palestinian land."

She focused largely on the Palestinian territories, saying "violence and retaliation rooted in settler colonialism have taken the lives of far too many innocent people." She did not directly mention the Hamas attacks.

Plenty of people are standing up to Israel during their ovations.

In anything approaching a sane world everyone from the guy who did the killing up to the PM would be arrested and tried for obviously purposely retaliating against a journalist. Executions handed down swiftly for all of the officers and those high ranked politicians in charge like Netanyahu. But no one will even remember this in a couple days. What a disgusting world. The leadership in Israel and the IDF has probably earned a solid thousand individual war crimes related executions in the span of a couple weeks. They're really trying to speed run outdoing Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Powell/Rice, et al. on the most war crimes committed in the shortest span of time.

Nothing will happen under bourgeois rule, for sure.

Sad to hear. I cant imagine the grief. All of what happened will be preserved for the trails that will follow after the apartheid, when all of Palestine will be free.

Cowards using bombs to kill civilians. Cowards suppressing free speech with murder.

Wonderful to see the "westerner" part of the middle east showing those in the region what they mean by "civilized".
