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.

Orientalism, plain and simple. No rescuing the west. They will always be racist.

Occidentalism plan and simple coming from you. Seems like you are just the other side of the coin. When you are upset people are using "stereotypes" for a whole group of people and just turn around and do the same thing....you come off as a hypocrite.

At the end of the day most people want to live in peace with their friends and family. We should be upset with both sides for keeping that from becoming a reality.

Ps. I'm referring to the Israeli government and Hamas when I'm talking about both sides. Try not to forget there are innocent civilians living in Israel and Palestine.
