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.

His voice broke when he remembered his partner, who was besieged in MMD at the time. According to him, only on Monday night and only after the commanders in the field made difficult decisions - including shelling houses on their occupants in order to eliminate the terrorists without knowing whether the Israelis in those buildings were alive or dead - the IDF L completed the takeover of the kibbutz.

The cost of the Hamas attack was terrible: at least 112 Bari residents were killed. Others were kidnapped. Yesterday, 11 days after the massacre, the bodies of a mother and her son were discovered in one of the destroyed houses. It is believed that more bodies are still lying in the rubble.

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.
