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.

You bring up a great point. Russia has invited the BRIC members of BRICS alongside Eastern Europe and Israel. It would make sense for them to talk.
Brazil has scheduled the next BRICS summit for July 2025, which is bad timing. What can you do in only half a year? Pepe Escobar says their excuse is that they need to prepare for COP 30, but it is more likely that Brazil's pro-West capitalist faction still dislikes the BRICS and forced Lula's hand. ^[https://sputnikglobe.com/20241028/pepe-escobar-brics-make-history---can-they-keep-the-momentum-1120707386.html]
Faced with such Brazilian unreliability, it sure would make sense to meet up somewhere earlier. Victory Day is on May 9, which is perfect for pre-planning, especially if BRICS needs to accelerate some projects to have stuff to present in July.
