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.

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.

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...
