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.

conflating zionism and Judaism is itself antisemitic, a cynical attempt to displace blame for zionist colonial crimes onto all Jews worldwide. the zionist entity actively promotes antisemitism globally to encourage migration to itself, with no regard for the safety of Jews.

Saying Zionism = Jews just helps antisemites!

This is the Zionist tweet. That is what they say. I am just sharing the tweet of their deceitful rant. Zionism doesn’t equal Judaism

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I was just disagreeing with the tweet

“No Zionists” means “no Zionists,” not “no Jewish people.” Big difference, stop trying to make people seem antisemitic when they aren’t.

I wonder what he would say to the question of if a white person can be a Zionist.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

"Jews can be white people" probably

Of course that's what that means, because of course everybody else must dissemble and speak in double talk as much as I do, they couldn't possibly just be saying the words that mean what they actually mean to say.

I'm what I like to call a red tri bi-- I don't, have never, and will never willingly partner with any zionist israelis or any Amerikan whites that carry their water.

any excuse for this ugly mfer to not take a look in the mirror

The most insane thing is that he seems to believe that other people not wanting to associate with him means he's being oppressed.

He knows that there is an understanding that zionism is not judaism which is why he has to specify the contrary. As others have noted:

  1. Zionism is not Judaism.
  2. There are multitudes more non-Jewish zionists than there are Jewish ones.
  3. To the Zionist the only valid Jewish identity is that of the fascist settler-colonialist. They seek to erase other Jewish identities especially anti-zionists ones; zionists seek to normalise colonialism, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Zionists often slur Jewish peoples that oppose zionism as "self-loathing".
  4. Number 3 is a common imperialist/capitalist phenomenon. See for example the erasure of communist Ukrainian identities in favour of fascist diaspora.
  5. Zionism is deeply anti-semitic.

AGREED! Jews ONLY like Genocide and Murdering Women and Children! If you DON'T like Genocide or Murdering Women and Children you CAN'T BE JEWISH!
