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.

Thanks for calling out my vague statement. I meant I'll keep studying and looking for alternatives. Like military tactics of Hamas. Whether and why palestinians are pro-hamas. But if it commits meaningless massacres for real. Then It is a strong indicator that I shouldn't support it.

It doesn't commit meaningless massacres. The music festival took place in an illegally occupied part of Palestine (even according to the UN partition plan that assigned part of Palestine to "Israel"), near a military base; there were no civilians there. Several hostages released by Hamas have stated that IOF soldiers were firing from the crowd. The claim about beheaded babies has been traced back to a settler who had zero evidence

When using a bourgeois "news" article as a source, you should be extremely critical; they have no credibility, so any assertion that isn't backed by evidence is almost certainly false
