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.

Rathbone and Chris Jeffries critique Zionist arguments for Jewish claims to the land in Israel, particularly those based on biblical rights. They argue that using the Bible to justify ethnic cleansing is illogical and dismiss the UN's 1947 partition plan, which they claim favored Zionist settlers and forced Palestinian Arabs to flee. The speakers also discuss early Zionist involvement in terrorist organizations like the Irgun and Lehi, which committed massacres against Palestinians that expanded Israeli control, and challenge Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas rockets in occupied territory. The speakers draw parallels to historical resistance against oppression and emphasize material conditions as the root cause of conflict.
