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.

Backlash is growing after the New York Post described prominent children's content creator Ms Rachel as a "controversial YouTube star" following her appointment to New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's inaugural committee, a label critics say reflects a broader effort to stigmatise pro-Palestine speech.

Parents and activists online pushed back sharply, arguing that opposing the killing of children is a basic humanitarian stance, not a controversial opinion. At the same time, Mamdani has drawn support from progressives for assembling an inauguration slate that openly reflects the coalition that powered his election victory.

oh boy, they got slammed, oh no

Not saying Ms Rachel should ever be smeared or libeled, she deserves all the protection we can collectively offer her, but i really hate editorial headline words so very much

I don't know why but when I was younger the mental image I got whenever I read "slams" in a news article was the person in question actually, literally slamming the palm of their hand on a table.
