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.

yeah but biden's got cognitive assonance, which is when you hold two opposing viewpoints but it makes you feel good.
Ukraine? Palestine? Taiwan??
No, no, no, you are forgetting the rules based order which says it's ok to participate in war crimes when you are the US because they choose not to cooperate with international courts and will invade if charges are brought against them.
There are naturally exceptions to every rule. This is US exceptionalism.

I'm glad he'll understand when Russia sinks an American carrier group in retaliation for their supplying Ukraine with weapons that have been used in terror attacks to kill civilians as well as of course hurt and kill thousands of Russian soldiers given he understands that supplying weapons to someone is as good as pulling the trigger yourself.
(I laughed when I saw he said this, just no shame and probably limited self-awareness, truly a people and country that feel laws apply to others not them. That laws serve to bind others not them. Disgusting and the Chinese and Russians should never let the Americans forget this and the hypocrisy under which it occurred)
Also I want someone to shout at him that taking this line has to mean he is responsible personally for the deaths of civilians in Gaza and if the ICJ rules that would he agree he should be subject to the types of penalties international law and Nuremberg determined appropriate for those facilitating genocide and would he further agree that such charges and relevant penalties should also be applicable to those in his administration who were party to it such as Sec of State, military chiefs, etc.
