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.

If i meant that only one side uses (atrocity/war/.. )propagaganda. It was admittedly a very poor choice of words on my part.
I think I get what you're communicating, no worries! I didn't understand what aelwero was saying.
Only one side of anything being propagandised is effectively a non-existent concept. Propaganda is simply promotion of an opposing idea. People tend to equate the term with outright lies, but propaganda is far more often truth that's specifically chosen to influence opinions in a certain direction.
The very notion of "only one side" propagandising is, in and of itself, propaganda (and in my opinion, a very common form of it, one you'll find much more egregiously used in US politics). I was simply pointing out the irony without meaning any implications to either side.
You know what? No.
OP says specifically that only one side uses "atrocity propaganda".
Only one side is here, so fuck off with the both sides bullshit.
Ok, I understand that. Surely you can agree that one side has a significant propaganda advantage? There's a massive difference between splashing news across every Western Source, and dropping a propaganda video on telegram.
haha, he was asking if i meant that only one side uses (atrocity/war/.. )propagaganda
