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.

Zionism gives Germany an excuse to go back to Fascism, without associating directly with Nazism.

Seriously, the whole Antideutsch movement is clearly just another path towards German fascism. However liberals who can only perceive aesthetics would find such an argument incomprehensible. They clearly learned nothing about how the Nazi’s actually came to power beyond their rabid antisemitism.

Wow this is like the famous book by Gorgor Owel the 1984

[–] RedColossus@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 5 months ago

The answer to 1984 is 1917.

Meanwhile in the GDR there used to be demonstrations showing solidarity with Palestine

This makes me so incredibly sad. How did opposition to an apartheid state which is enacting a collective punishment on a population which it has locked up in an open air prison for decades become so controversial? There's really not even the slightest form of humanity in our elite, nothing at all.

The West is complicit.

When will Germany stop being Israel's little bitch/simp? It's not 1940's anymore and Hitler isn't here. Get over it already.

[–] RedColossus@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hitler was instrumental in Israel’s creation to begin with, in fact his reasoning for the concentration camps was that the Jewish people resisted being deported to Palestine.

Where can I find more info on this?

Stopping doing so wil lead to a huge politcal crisis here, so don't get you hope up. Lot's a of players are very invested in the zionist status quo.

They won’t because for a new German nationalism to arise it needs to be aesthetically opposed to the terror of the third reich. As such, they adopted this weird philosemitism which which on the surface makes Germany appear antithetical to the Nazis. Underneath that though it naturally maps onto to their rising islamophobic and anti immigrant tendencies.

https://medium.com/p/2746ef1cd8cf Oh, the irony of it all! In the land of Goethe and Beethoven, where the echoes of the Berlin Wall’s collapse still reverberate, the powers that be have decided that the right to free expression has an expiration date. And what better way to demonstrate this than by unleashing the might of 900 police officers on a humble pro-Palestinian conference?
