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.

surprised pro Palestinian officials in Palestine haven't run a counter propaganda posters with all their dead children, put a name date of birth, photo alive, photo of corpse. unsavoury yeah but serves the same purpose of the posters here, bait for people to tear down and for people to record to post online and project as lesser beings

Palestinians generally don't have the money to run propaganda in the US and even if they did, the United States would censor them if it got to the point of being effective

Well maybe we should get our collectivist asses out there and do it for them. Start with similar posters but with the list of dead children's names. Put them right next to these photos.

Non-Americans usually don't have a frame of reference for just how fascist it really is there. I visited once and it blew my fucking mind just how bad it is. You can't look in a random direction without either seeing, feeling, or hearing just how out of control things have gotten there.

And that's just the stuff that's visible. When you include stuff that you can't see (like the systematic stuff) it's like "wow this is nazi germany"

Saw it at a protest over here. They printed the names out on a big paper. It was like 50 or 60 meters long, full of names.

Someone at a protest I went to came with like 20 signs with names on them. It's chilling to think of.
