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.

Yeah I legit cried reading that the first time.

These are not the words of a mentally unsound man. These are the words of perhaps one of the sanest people in this deeply sick country.

They tried dragging John Brown for the same damn thing. 150 years later and they keep trying to portray the sanest man in history as mentally unwell

That just shows that they still don't view the lashes and other ravages of slavery as violence. It's when the victim fights back is when the violence counter starts. They can't even admit 150 years later in hindsight that John Brown was sane and correct.

Also if they don't want corrective violence, perhaps they should do the right thing prior to violence. In the civil war one side DID fight for slavery, it just happened to lose. And peaceful abolitionists were lynched all the time.

I couldn't read that without tears running down my face. Absolutely gut wrenching. I hope his wish can someday be honored. palestine-heart

Reading this filled me with rage towards all of the reactionary libs that dismissed his sacrifice as the futile gesture of a madman.

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 28 points 8 months ago

I feel you. Every single lib who dismissed his sacrifice and concluded that he was "mentally ill" and needed to go to therapy, I'd personally send to a special gulag where I'd drop bombs on them non-stop so they can experience what it's like to be treated like filth.

May his wish come true. Salute!

This guy is pretty cool. Dude would rather burn himself alive than serve the US military to assist Isntreal in the mass murder of Palestinian innocents.

Rest in peace Mr. Bushnell you'll be missed, and as the saying about Palestine goes, "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", and I hope your ashes will be scattered in a Palestine that is free from Zionist oppression

Truly, no words. An honorable man through and through. My heart goes out to him and his family.

"But what were his politics??"

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

We still don't know why he did what he did!
