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.

Really great to see such unanimous action, this is exactly how a boycott can make an impact.
What I think is also notable here is Dr Abdel-Fatta has taken a lot of public flack for sharing the details of a so-called "dox" of the J.E.W.I.S.H creatives and academics group. This was a WhatsApp group that organized with the purpose of defaming and ruining people who spoke out against Israel after launching its genocide following Oct. 7th.
In particular, they organized to pressure the ABC to fire Antoinette Lattouf due to her criticisms of Israel, but specifically due to her questioning the veracity of captioning on a video of protesters in Sydney, indicating a chant of "Gas the jews." Well to no one's surprise, even the police acknowledged that the protesters were not shouting gas the jews, and Lattouf was proven correct.
But apparently exposing a malicious, organized harassment group, looking to ruin people's careers for practicing basic journalism is antisemitism...
Agreed!
