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 they put it in scare quotes and the very first paragraph points out it is a euphemism for ethnic cleansing. In this particular instance it's more on the zionists for adopting the term than this media outlet for not criticizing it and calling it like it is. If this were e.g. the U.S. mainstream media, they'd almost certainly be tripping over themselves to be complicit with, or even double down on, the apologetic propaganda.

It looks like it's from thecradle.co, a "news" site that came online in mid-2021. I'm putting "news" in quotes because most reputable news organizations don't host their sites on GoDaddy.com, don't hide their ownership or physical location, and don't have an open invitation on their front page to "become an author".

I'm not saying that this story isn't true, just that this site shares some characteristics with some less reputable "news" sites.

Ah Ad hominem to try and defend the settler occupation.

Maybe if instead of wasting 15 seconds looking up domain registration records, you opened the article, you could see they linked receipts from some precious existing reputable, Israeli journalistic outlets. Oh or maybe conveniently those won't be reputable either. Maybe the only sources someone desperate to defend a genocidal fascist ethnostate built on stolen land and which has a massive misinformation operation that includes paid posters are those that defend that same state hmmm? Unfalsifiable orthodoxy.

Ah yes, ethnic cleansing but the good, Western kind.

This is literally a reheated version of the Nazis' Madagascar plan.

They are doing a Nazi Speedrun on non-white people and libs are "guys this is very complicated"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Which is ironic, because that plan was barely considered and the high command essentially laughed at it before unanimously deciding to simply exterminate the “subhumans”.

I wonder if Israel will follow their logic.

Ghouls. This is what necropolitics is

If you're going use language like this, why bother? We all know what it means.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It gives the zionist libs plausible deniability, they get to pretend that this is a "humane" ethnic cleansing. It's to soothe their own supporters, not to convince people to their side.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you meant Israeli libs, they're most likely in the same camp of seeing all Gazans as Hamas, if you meant nonIsraeli Zionist libs, yeah that would track. There were some leftist Israelis on one of Hasan's videos talking about Israeli libs turning bloodthirsty after October 7th. The line between conservatives and libs is a lot harder to find in Israel.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago

I was thinking more western or anglo zionist libs specifically. I do feel like the Israeli libs are just all in on this being an "us or them" genocide that this point.

The only difference between a conservative and a lib is just how much they personally feel they've been scratched at this point, so they're only a few minor inconveniences away from each other really.

is-this Is this Madagaskarplan?

Richard Spencer must have snapped his fingers and said, ‘Damn! Why didn’t I think of that? That sounds so much better than my ‘peaceful ethnic cleansing’!’

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Should start a hashtag #GazaGenocideNeverForget, but then twitter has been taken over by a fascist, handy that...
