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.

On June 18, Israel’s Higher Planning Council approved a new military order allowing the army to conduct live-fire training in the 918 firing zone—an area that encompasses 12 Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank. The villages were the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, chronicling the community’s decades-long fight to stay on their land.

➤ The decision paves the way for the complete destruction of all 12 villages, home to nearly 2,800 people, and marks a major escalation in what both residents and rights groups describe as the final stage of ethnic cleansing.

➤ The move was made without public notice, formalizing Israel’s annexation of the area and granting sweeping authority to the Israeli military to proceed with mass eviction and demolition.

➤ Lawyers say only two channels remain to stop the expulsions: on-the-ground solidarity and urgent diplomatic pressure.
