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 can't upload all the pictures and videos because they're too big apparently! But it was fucking awesome. At least 150,000 people were there marching for Palestine and SCREAMING the "Biden, Biden, you can't hide, you're funding a genocide" chants. It was genuinely so hopeful and refreshing. It was made very clear that this was only the beginning of more direct action that will have consequences and force the hand of our dictators of capital. We spray painted a McDonald's window "GAZA" (in minecraft of course) and screamed "Fuck McDonald's" because we're boycotting Starbucks and McDonald's. I met a few pretty relevant tiktokers and Karina Garcia, the PSL's presidential candidate's VP!

Overall a fucking wonderful experience and I'm going to bring this energy back home. Like I said this is only the beginning and it really is showing some serious dedication and revolutionary intent.

Check out answercoalition on Instagram to see the size of the crowd and some of the speeches. I'll see if I can link pictures in the comments below.

FUCK THE AMERICAN WAR MACHINE, WE WILL SEE A FREE PALESTINE AND A SOCIALIST WORLD IN OUR LIFETIME

There was a strip club cough, gentleman's club that was being guarded by a lot of piggies. Good to see their priorities lmao

Yep. Nowhere to be found when medics were needed tho.

Who keeps us safe? We do.
