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.

The genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.

Please don't stop talking about Palestine.


Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.

They were then joined by an Israeli Merkava tank. Equipped with a powerful 120 mm cannon, this tank was of no use at the time, except as a refuge thanks to its armored plating. Dozens of participants took cover behind it, along with some of the police. Bullets rattled. The assailants were there.

The article seems to say that the tank was there before Hamas. So maybe the ravers were caught in the crossfire.

That's how I read it as well.
