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.

My country (Japan) is in the same boat. Russia is obviously very close to us and was a huge exporter for: parts that keeps our auto industry going, seafood, and natural gas. Not only did we follow along in sanctions because our masters told us to, we did it right after shutting down almost all our nuclear power plants. Meaning our only domestic sources of power are...old coal plants.
The only person really losing out in that exchange is us, Russia didn't need us as much as needed them.
