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.

Remember that Hamas is ISIS! They are nothing but backwards Islamist terrorists who carry out mass beheadings to spread fear and terror. Their brutal methods ought to be consigned to medieval history, totally unlike Israel and the U.S.A. who would never advocate for mass beheading for any reason! After all, we know that they are the forces of modernity - the children of the light.

Actually looking back at Netanyahu's 2012 UN speech against Iran, the irony is so thick.

For today, a great battle is being waged between the modern and the medieval. The forces of modernity seek a bright future in which the rights of all are protected, in which an ever-expanding digital library is available in the palm of every child, in which every life is sacred. The forces of medievalism seek a world in which women and minorities are subjugated, in which knowledge is suppressed, in which not life but death is glorified. ... Israel stands proudly with the forces of modernity. We protect the rights of all our citizens: men and women, Jews and Arabs, Muslims and Christians โ€“ all are equal before the law. ... Israel cherishes life, that Israel cherishes peace and seeks peace. ... We seek to forge a durable peace with the Palestinians. ... They want to drag humanity back to an age of unquestioning dogma and unrelenting conflict. I am sure of one thing. Ultimately they will fail. Ultimately, light will penetrate the darkness.

Back then Iran was Al-Qaeda, now Hamas is ISIS...
