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 coverage about this is so infuriating.

Where is the US coverage? WTF?
I'm so fucking sick of the Zionist doomscreaming about the 'right to exist' when it actually means the right to enforce the racial makeup and racial hierarchy of a fucking ethnostate. This article is so transparent about spelling out what 'right to exist' means that it makes the editorial indulgence in this deceitful, delusional rhetoric even more jarring and irksome than it usually is.
