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.

97-0 for anyone doubting which side the 'morally superior Democrats' are on

Who would have thought that a genocidal fascist regime is willing to support another.

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 2 years ago

Where do you think the illegitimate occupation learned it from

[–] Idliketothinkimsmart@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

degenerate bastards, every last one.

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But if we vote for Bernie, it will be different 🥰

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Maybe if we could get communist Bernie

They're all the same. Always have been.

Death to Amerikkka. Let it collapse for a better world.

[–] TeezyZeezy@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Better yet, make it collapse >:)

Lesser evil everyone.

Wow they really went the extra mile on this one, in gratuitous, virtue signaling fashion.

Ninety-nine of the 100 senators co-sponsored the resolution, with only Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky not signing on.

Despite that, Rand Paul still voted for it, though. The Times of Israel: Senate passes symbolic resolution backing Israel 97-0

Paul still voted in favor of the resolution, while Republican Tim Scott and Democrats Dick Durbin and Laphonza Butler were not in the Capitol for the vote.

Edit to add: The House is next, and the vast majority of them have already jumped on the co-sponsor train:

A similarly symbolic resolution has been introduced in the House, with 392 members signing on as co-sponsors. It is expected to also be passed in the coming days.

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 years ago

It is expected to also be passed in the coming days.

Of course, the House can temporarily resolve its speaker infighting to express support for Israel...

Let's hope it'll be the nail in the coffin for the "progressive Democrats / the squad" psyop

[–] pqjke@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 years ago

I always expect the worse from them, honestly

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When there is "bipartisan" somewhere in the sentence about murican politics, what comes next always seems to be some really ghoulish shit.

[–] cayde6ml@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I once read a surprisingly based comment on Reddit, I think it was on r/LateStageCapitalism:

"Bipartisan means people who disagree on abortion but agree on fascism."

[–] calcifiedNeurotic@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

ahh the us senate, that sham institution cosplaying as a democratic legislature.

[–] HaSch@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Vultures of a feather

[–] some_guy 1 points 2 years ago

This wretched country.

what do you call a state that does not represent the wills of its people?
