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.

Sadly Syria is in no position to lend major assistance. Most of their armed forces are still tied down either in active combat with remnant ISIS forces, or providing law and order in liberated areas. This means they do not have many units to spare. Further, even if they did have units available, Syria lacks the number of modern aircraft and tanks to actively threaten Israel, and they would probably fare poorly.

If Syria was part of a larger coalition like the Yom Kippur War, then they would be a large threat. Currently however it is unlikely they will enter hostilities with Israel directly.

Even if Syria had the troops and equipment, it would still unfortunately likely be outmatched against Israel, and Israel would inflict psychotic vengeance on Syria for daring to help liberate Palestine.
