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.

Nicaragua severs relations with Israel (www.rt.com)

Nicaragua has formally severed diplomatic relations with Israel, accusing it of “genocide” and military aggression in the Palestinian territories.

According to a resolution passed by the National Assembly on Friday, the break in relations is a response to the “brutal genocide that the fascist and war criminal government of Israel continues to commit against the Palestinian people.”

President Daniel Ortega has instructed the Foreign Ministry to “abide” by parliament’s request and cut diplomatic relations with Israel, according to Vice President Rosario Murillo.

“We respect the Israeli people who demand the cessation of this massacre, barbarism, and crimes committed by the nefarious Zionist government and army,” the Nicaraguan parliamentary resolution said, calling the Israeli government “an enemy of humanity, which intends to spread its barbarism throughout the Middle East, endangering world peace and security.”

Good, they should be pariahs everywhere they go. Women should cover their drinks with napkins if one enters a bar. People should place themselves between them and their children when an isntraeli is around. People should spit in their food and bump into them super hard on sidewalks. They should be ashamed to the point of doing the deed. Not sorry.

I met one in a hostel in Kunming and he was utterly vile. Everyone was happy when he left.

He got one girls name wrong and then responded that all Chinese people look the same when his mistake was pointed out.

And that was probably the most polite, least racist Israeli.

Israeli != Israel. They've had massive protests in the streets for years against their unprecedentedly far-right government

Many Israelis have been fired and thrown in Prison for fighting against the Israeli State

The western media that has been backing this genocide wants you to believe that this is somehow all on Bibi and not representative of the greater body politic and culture. In fact, Netanyahu is one of the more polite and coded public figures in Isn'treal. He's a western friendly mask over the most depraved rot of a violent ethnostate.

According to the Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University’s Peace Index polls taken more than a month after the beginning of the massive Israeli bombing of Gaza, which by then had killed thousands, “57.5 percent of Israeli Jews said that they believed the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) were using too little firepower in Gaza, 36.6 percent said the IDF was using an appropriate amount of firepower, while just 1.8 percent said they believed the IDF was using too much firepower.”

In Isn'treal, there have been protests because the extermination of Gaza is taking too long. Protests because the hostages are not being returned. Protests because Netanyahu is corrupt. Protests because privileged Haredi jews lost their exemption from military service. Protests to prevent the prosecution of Israeli prison guards who are using rape as torture on Palestinians. Protests that the IOF is not attacking Lebanon enough...

The entire zionist colonial project is founded on the deliberate erasure of Palestinian people, culture and history. Children of zionists are taught that arabs are subhuman from the earliest ages, and that god himself commands genocide. The book of Joshua is required reading for children in Isnt'real for that reason, and Amalek and the destruction of the Canaanites are constantly referenced in regard to Palestinians.

You need to look inside Isn'treali history, media, literature and internal politics because the US media distorts this reality to protect their "unsinkable aircraft carrier" in the region.

That's like 5 of them max. The ones in the street just want netanyahu to be a more effective genocider. They literally had right to R protests. No such thing as a good Rhodesian. It's a settler colony so by default Israelis = israel. Fuck israel and Israelis.

That quote is not written by the person I'm speaking to.
