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.

At this moment we are seeing the same moral outrage and screeching of pacifism fetishists as we saw during the struggle for South African freedom. It's easy to take a stand against things like necklacing or killing concert goers when you are sitting safely at home on your comfortable couch. Not so easy to wring your hands when you are staring down the barrel of apartheid and all its horrors. Palestinians must do whatever they deem necessary in order to survive genocide at the hands of their colonial occupiers. And westerners who have supported - whether in word, or in deed through the material actions of their governments - the Israeli settler project and their genocidal campaign, have no right to judge the actions of Palestinians taken in pursuit of survival.
