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.

I'm not the biggest fan of BE, i think his online persona can be grating at times, and his takes on China are very half-baked and borderline ignorant, but on this issue he is 100% right. Everyone needs to hear this. If you invite liberal Zionists and Zionist apologist socdem politicians on your stream and don't call them out as the supporters and enablers of genocide that they are, you don't get to call yourself "pro-Palestinian".

I love BE, I'm in that sweet spot of having never engaged with his online presence but occasionally watched his scripted videos. It makes everyone seem absolutely unhinged when they auto-nope out of any conversation involving him, when the takes usually in question is something like 'genocide bad'

Heard his video on Xinjiang though?

I have. I gave a mild criticism of it and got called a tankie by BE and his shills…how ironic.
