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've been noticing more and more people are altering their stance on Hamas with more education. With all the blatant lying the mainstream media has been caught doing regarding Palestine, I'm noticing liberals actually starting to question the US's Ukraine and China narratives now. It feels like another major wave of Americans are finally starting to wake up.
I talked with a few people not in the protest in DC who were curious about the situation and were uneducated on past or current events in occupied Palestine. Even they were aware of the hard Israel slant of the major US media stations and seemed to accept a lot of the reasons why a ceasefire is necessary and that a one secular democratic state solution is the only real option to avoid continued conflict. I even had one guy move from condemnation of Hamas to saying he wouldn't say he condemns them anymore.
That's obviously one person but that is huge, it just shows its possible and honestly is a sign to me of a larger turning of tide.
It seems like the contradictions are becoming too much even for the less engaged masses. They may not hold the 'correct' opinion but they're more willing then ever to hear a countervailing opinion to the consent manufacturing machine
This next election between career criminal Trump and genocidal Biden is really going to reveal to a lot of Americans just how absurd the American electoral spectacle is. It's been absurd in the recent few cycles, but this just feels different. Feels like decades might be about to happen in weeks.
