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.

The genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.

Please don't stop talking about Palestine.


Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.

Someone from the UNRWA is on BBC News right now saying that UN hospitals will cease operations tomorrow if they don't get more fuel, and the reason for this decision is humanitarianism. They need to prioritise rations of fuel to power the water desalination plant and remaining bakeries, or else the people of Gaza won't be able to drink water or eat bread. The UN has been able to provide bags of wheat flour through the Rafah crossing, but bakeries need water from the desalination plant to bake it into bread.

Already there is footage of injured people being rushed into hospitals in the darkness, other than from light from phone torches.

"Can you imagine what it is going to be like on the ground if you have to halt your operations and if there is a ground offensive?"

"It is going to be hell on Earth."
