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 history of forced/coerced emigration sure isn't a pretty one.
I'm certain you don't give a shit about a good faith argument but I've got one anyway. Moving so many people to another country is absurd. There wouldn't be remotely adequate infrastructure ready to support them. It would be an immediate humanitarian disaster. It wouldn't be surprising when a great deal of people wouldn't be interested in leaving their ancestral home to become a refugee.
Removing an entire ethnicity (or in this case, every ethnicity but one) from a country is genocidal because it's never been done without a huge amount of death, whether they are gunned down or forced to relocate.
This strategy will likely be used to justify the continued slaughter of Gazans by the flimsy logic that "they could have just left."
