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.

Since the October 7 attacks, over 150,000 Israeli citizens have left the country, many of them with a one-way ticket and no plans of returning. Hila Amit interviewed several Israeli Jewish emigrants, whose testimonies point to a profound loss of faith in the Zionist project itself — one that may signal a broader systemic unraveling.

150k in over 2 years? The number looks less impressive every time someone repeats it. In an entity of 10M it's not exactly a drop in the bucket, but it's certainly not the exodus some would seemingly have us believe.

They mostly left during the time Iran attacked. Then it stopped because the treats flowed again.

That sounds more correct than what I had in mind, but these type of news have been around since the start of the current stage of the genocide. Similarly, there have been news of the Zionist entity's economy falling off, being on the verge of disaster and so on. It's not that I don't appreciate people, especially comrades looking at these numbers and trying to make sense of them, but clearly the approach has been overly optimistic.

I mean these news were true, when Iran attacked, but the ceasefire due to liberal paralyzing of the iranian government, saved israhell from certain destruction.

There are probably a lot more “Israelis” that would like to leave but can’t afford to do so.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

its better than 150k coming in isn't it?

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 week ago

As long as it is more than are coming in, its bad for Isn'treal.

Soon they'll implement a policy that you have to give up your dual citizenship if you want some cheap stolen land.
