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.

Obama was smooth, polished, charismatic, intelligent, likeable. But he was no better than any of the other POTUS - he never followed through on his "liberal" promises (such as closing Gunatanamo), and spent Tuesday mornings signing off on who the military/CIA was allowed to drone/murder that week. As well as supporting the on-going US invasions in Iraq & Afghanistan, Obama also initiated new wars in Yemen, Syria and Libya. The MIC would certainly give him its Seal of Approval.
