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.
There is a difference between a Jew and a Zionist, ~~and these protestors prove that fact with every day of resistance against the genociders. May their god, and every god to cast eyes on this dirtball go with them, and gird them against Zionist action; every day of their struggle.~~ but scratch that, do not uplift the warhawk-til-the-call-comes extremists; I am so disappointed.
Those are haredi. Sorry to burst your bubble, but those people are among some of the most extreme Zionists within the entity.
They're protesting the draft bc for the longest time, they were allowed to advocate for their bloodlust without actually enlisting.
Just a collection of religious chicken hawks.
God fuckin dammit. I guess the only ones to uplift are Amerikan Orthodox... Even then I expect them to capitulate just on basis of being Amerikan
Lots of Jews are against this genocide. I think instead of focusing on those that support it, we should celebrate and uplift those against it.
As I understand it, some of the Haredi are anti-zionist. Of those there are some that think only god can bring about zion and its heresy or something to attempt to do so politically, caring little or nothing for Palestinians themselves. There are some others which do see the occupation and treatment of Palestinians as immoral and an affront to their religious beliefs, some of those are even deeply committed to the Palestinian cause. I've seen cases of those Haredi waving the Palestine flag, swarming and harassing IOF out of Jerusalem and West Bank settlements.
But yeah, most of them enjoy the privilege of being a special class in Isn'treal society. They want the whole colonial project, but think the blood belongs on someone else's hands.
