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.
We don't know what videos they showed to the press, and the only press they allowed in was sympathetic to the Zionist cause to begin with. Without the opportunity for independent verification and careful analysis of the supposed "evidence" there is no reason to believe that they are not lying. It's not as if this would be the first time that western media helped them to disseminate propaganda.
Why is it that when the Zionist entity claims they have evidence we are supposed to just believe them, but when Hamas and the resistance tell us that they did not target or abuse civilians we aren't even supposed to entertain the thought that they might be telling the truth?
Why do we have to always go through the same dance over and over again? The Zionists tell blatant lies, the western media amplifies the lies, some days or weeks or months go by, we find out that they were lying all along but the narrative has already been established so nobody pays attention anymore, they fabricate the next lie and we start the whole cycle all over again.
How many times do we have to be burned before we adopt the default stance that everything they say is a lie (unless it is them dropping the mask and admitting to their own crimes and to their intent to commit even more crimes)?
