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.

Can you imagine what would happen if Israel shoots one down or destroys it while it's on the ground?

Nothing, Israel is allowed to do whatever it wants in the quest for the mighty OIL BARRELS

Literally something like that has happened: uss liberty. It was just brushed under the rug.

USS Liberty incident comes to mind. The French will go along with the Israelis and claim Hamas did it or that it was a mechanical malfunction even when there's overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Then like in 10 years it will come out it was actually Israel and most people will ignore it (and bonus if you bring it up you'll be called an anti-semite).

Plot twist, the foreign légionnaires are all Lebanese and Palestinian double agents!

France going on a charm offensive to the global south before any more of its old colonies tell it to fuck off.
