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 genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.
Please don't stop talking about Palestine.
Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.
Israel propaganda is flying like crazy right now, I don't think anything from Ukraine even came close to this. They are all over the internet regurgitating their bullshit and saying it's now "100% confirmed" that the IDF didn't do it and that it was Hamas. And obviously any dissent is being suppressed. Oh yes and now the death count must be inflated because it wouldn't make any sense at for a hospital to house hundreds of incredibly frail and vulnerable people!
It's genuinely terrifying seeing how easily people accepted Israel's bullshit. It feels like everyone just turned off the critical thinking part of their brains
They want to believe it
One of the topics I am getting spammed with by libs victoriously showing just some car-park explosion remains as a definitive proof that nothing as serious as 500 people killed in a hospital has happened.

Hm yes a giant fireball surely couldn't slaughter 500 people outside without cover
My personal experience was that the beginning of the Ukraine war was much worse. Zelensky was literally advocating policies that would lead to WW3 and the US media was completely uncritical in relaying Ukraine propaganda at first. Social media detractors were clamped down and fewer in number too. Communist groups were almost the only voices of dissent (the Ireland response was better than most though). Switzerland departed from it's policy of "neutrality". While still almost exclusively pro-apartheid the response to Israel has had far more detractors. There are many protests in support of Palestine across Europe and the US. This is just my experience so I may be forgetting things or be in a different media bubble.
