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.

The latest revelations surrounding the New York Times’ internal memo on reporting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict stand as a damning indictment of the paper’s abdication of its fundamental duty — to speak truth to power, no matter the consequences.

The Times’ directive to its staff, instructing them to avoid using terms like “genocide,” “ethnic cleansing,” “occupied territory,” and even “Palestine,” is a betrayal of the very principles that underpin a free and independent press. For an institution that purports to be the “newspaper of record,” this memo is a sordid exercise in linguistic gymnastics, a transparent attempt to obfuscate the realities of a conflict that has seen over 20,000 Palestinians killed, with countless more wounded and displaced.
