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.

The Zionist entity wants to justify the existence of Israel and will use anything necessary, from claiming to be a champion of gay rights, treating Israeli Jews as indigenous and Zionism as a "decolonization" project, to pretending to believe in equal rights to do so. Arguing for egalitarianism, advocating a two-state non-solution, or even recognizing Palestine doesn't on its own fundamentally challenge Israel as a colonization project and is better used to sanitize it.
Regardless, I don't necessarily think Mamdani is "in" with the Zionists (that would better describe Cuomo), I simply think that he allows Zionists to control the narrative too easily.
