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.

Hamas published yesterday an 18-minute long pre-recorded press conference in English about their side of the story. This has received zero media attention anywhere in the western press. So in the interest of full transparency, here is the entire press conference.

Third, the operation targeted only Israeli military bases and combatants that were suffocating the people of Gaza for more than 17 years.

Fourth, we here would like to stress that there were clear instructions from the top commander of Al-Qassam Brigades to avoid targeting civilians or killing them. And many released videos showed how Al-Qassam fighters were keen to avoid harming civilians.

Fifth, as a result of the swift collapse of the Israeli military bases and the surrender of the Israeli soldiers, chaos prevailed in the scene, where civilians found themselves in the middle of the confrontations.

Tenth, on the Israeli allegations of killing civilians and beheading of babies, which were unethically and unprofessionally adopted by many Western media outlets, this is a complete shame that these media outlets follow such lies and Israeli propaganda without making simple efforts to check the reality of these allegations. We firmly deny these allegations, and as we reject this media bias, we call on the media agencies to abide by the journalism code of ethics.

It is no doubt that what the Israeli occupation is implementing, the scorched earth policy, and their aggression on Gaza, thousands of civilians are being killed under the rubble -- the rubble of their homes. In brief, they are destroying everything. Gaza is being wiped out by the fascist and indiscriminate Israeli bombing. If we describe the situation in Gaza, it could be said in one word -- it is a genocide.
