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 really like Bob Dylan’s music and he even sang a few Irish Independence songs that were great, so I thought for the longest time that politically Bob Dylan was a pacifist-leaning Lefty. Lefty in the sense that he wrote Maggie’s Farm, some anti-war songs and stuff like that. But this song is HORRID. Bob Dylan sings about how Israel is lied about and outnumbered and trapped, how they can’t even defend themselves without everyone criticizing them. In case anyone thinks “well that was long ago, people can change”, Bob Dylan did shows in Israel in 2011 after being asked by Palestinian groups and sympathetic groups around the world to boycott them. This song The Neighborhood Bully was released like a year after they invaded Lebanon, murdering thousands. He made some good music, but Fuck Bob Dylan.
