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.

I fell out with a friend, who has a physics bachelor degree over if Einstein was a socialist or not; he was utterly convinced he wasnt, to the point he started berating me; he literally stormed out of the resturaunt we where both eating a meal in after I told him to just google it. He told me his teacher told him that Einstein, was in fact not a socialist.
He went down a fash pipeline over COVID lockdown unsuprisingly; he messaged me the next day conceeding that Einstein was in fact, a socialist, but I was still wrong.
I told him to fuck off, havent spoken since lol (2 years ago)
The English language is awful at essentially a person to be wrong rather than misunderstand a certain fact. Furthermore the concept of the word wrong has two meanings. One is immorality in general and the other is falsehood in particular. Whenever someone says to someone else "you are wrong", it oversimplifies a conversation in the most anti-intellectual framework possible.
Unsuprisingly I was 'wrong' because einstein is Jewish, and an academic, and as such jewish academia is suspect and so is socialism.
Real logical shit right there, its fucking sad and funny.
So is he one of those cranks that doesn't believe in "jewish physics" of relativity or quantum physics. Does he also cling onto the idea of luminous ether and odyllic force? Its fun for writing fantasy fiction but actually believing its true is another matter.
He accepted the line that his entire education was built on false premises because 'the jews' are in control of academia; Socialism is a jewish psyop because Marx is jewish etc.
Its just sad, he was an autistic guy so I gave him a lot of leeway and tried to reason with him, but you cant save someone from this shit. He was 100% a failson of a upper class family though, his peer group all the type of radlibs that barely conceal they are white nationalists; we met at a bar while studying, he seemed fine up till then.
