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.

That's why I hate when people use the name of the leader of the colonialists to represent what the colonialists have done or want to do instead of saying it's the colonialists.
Too bad Lemmygrad doesn't have rules about parroting capitalistic/imperialist propaganda...
Anyway, hope Yemen doesn't stop their support for Palestinians in their defence from the western supported and colonialist led Genocide in case the colonialists take a step back to reorganize.
It's hard to decolonise one's speech. Propaganda is so ingrained in our brains it's hard to filter all of it. And I wasn't even born and educated in the capitalist core.
Its a journey for all of us, and I'm happy we have people like yourself here to point out those details.
🤨 Where have you seen this? It's roughly covered by instance rule 1
I meant more something about word usage to not use pro capitalist/imperialist terms. Like saying the US or colonialist entity instead of the imperialist names that they gave themselves, or as I mentioned above, calling any action done by the colonialist entity or any other imperialist country as an action of the country and not it's "leader" since the leader is not much more than a spokesperson for the the people with power.
I can only speak for myself, but I don't think placing such rigid restrictions on word choice would be appreciated by most users. It's fine in individual communities (like this one, although the sidebar also recognizes that slip-ups are inevitable) but in general I'd consider it excessive
