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.

I have a question for all of you. It is possible the defense of the Israel State and the defense of a anti zionisms?

For me is impossible defense Israel and beeing and anti zionism at the same time. Too many organization in Spain defend the exists of the 2 states.

In my view it depends of what you mean by defending Israel, if it means claming that the current state of affairs in that country is in any way acceptable, no it cannot be conciliated, because current Israel is a Zionist state. But if you mean the existence of a Jewish homeland then there is a much better point to be argued, the issue is where to draw the borders and how to keep'em that way

I mean, defend the 1967 borders. In my opinion is a form of legitimate de Israel state that it based in the steal of the land of Palestina.

I said that there is more of an argument to defend the existence of an Israeli state, it might be that said argument is still flawed but I am not informed enough to give a meaningful opinion about it, but at any rate arguing for the existence of a Israeli state is by far and away more reasonable than defending current behavior of Israel
