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.

I'm livid with rage. I'm absolutely paralyzed with anger

The link I've provided is Associated Press, but I believe there are other sources that talk about the shame and guilt these women feel, and it shattered my heart

One of the outlets that actually covered this was the Times of Israel, feel free to find it yourself but I will not be platforming them even in the slightest because this outlet reported these horrifying exploitation of Palestinian women and then immediately juxtaposed it to the Orientalist portrayals/accusations of sexual crimes by Palestinian men on October 7th, showing complete insensitivity and unwillingness to allow the victims of genocide to have a voice of their own.

Free Palestine. See you in the streets this weekend, comrades.

The aid distribution described in the article is the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, correct? Interesting that it doesn't name names
