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.
The genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.
Please don't stop talking about Palestine.
Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.
Does anyone have sources on Israel shooting at their own citizens. I saw something about it on here somewhere but can't find it anymore

There are images of homes in Be'eri etc. in other articles, blown to rubble, razed, and with bullet holes in the walls. Articles published shortly after Oct 7 generally blamed Hamas directly for casualties and didn't talk about fatalities caused by largely indiscriminate attacks by the IDF. After looking at a photographer's Getty Images page (cited by ABC News) I will post links to some images. For some reason, I don't think that this was caused by Hamas.

Here is footage of the Israeli Air Force bombing and shooting at who is likely to be their own people.
I have a source in my article here if you ctrl f "mounting evidence" https://criticalresist.substack.com/p/possible-conclusions-for-the-gaza
Can´t seem to find it am I stupid lmao?
Apologies, I've been writing so much stuff back to back that I added this source to an article that is not published yet (this Friday).
I went and extracted the source for you https://twitter.com/snarwani/status/1722050147792630190
edit: there is also leaked aerial footage, I'll see if I can find it cause I can use that too (https://twitter.com/Resist_05/status/1722558761121038787)
I was looking into the footage a little more since there are claims that it´s fake. It almost definitely isn't as is laid out here: https://nitter.net/Partisangirl/status/1722527493780021654#m just thought I'd leave this here for you or anyone else in case they're interested. I also figured it may be useful in your writing so yeah
When I first saw the footage of the immolated bodies in the car that Israel showed to journalists, I was immediately sceptical that Hamas brought that kind of firepower across the border on October 7; they mostly had assault rifles, hand grenades, and a few RPGs. That kind of destruction is much more probable from a helicopter than infantry.
The idea that Israel would then show that footage as justification for implementing similar atrocities on more than ten thousand Palestinians really makes me sick to my stomach.
graphic footage of burned corpses
