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.

A political party is complicit in genocide and your response is to go join that party? Be serious. You're not going to tear down an institution by working within that same institution.
No, but the only people who have shown any serious interest in tearing down the entire American government are fascists, so I'm not just gonna sit on my ass, holding my breath, until leftist positions are magically represented in American politics.
Again, if you're not ready to pick up a gun and die in revolution, your method of enacting change is through the existing system. There's a small number of serious leftist politicians running on pro-labor platforms, many of them local union leaders, who need help with shit like fundraising, canvassing, and building support. I'm not asking you to work with Democrats, I'm asking you to replace them in your local elections.
Hey can you tell me which revolution succeeded by enacting change through the existing system? How do we decolonize using the colonizer's system?
