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 don't think they are "scheming" anything, scheming require to have some political orientation. For most of them, quoting Terry Pratchett, "they just want tomorrow to be identical as today".

Bothsiding conflicts is the line of least resistance and least mental effort, think about some arguments you would present to discuss with the centrist and imagine (or just go to any social media to see) the most perfunctory, brain terminating cliche answer to those - this is centrism, they in fact don't want to discuss this at all, if they engage, it is only because they see someone engage and feel uncomfortable seeing it so they try to shut that person up so that all is looking nice again and their jimmies remain unrustled.

this. liberals, centrists, they want things to remain as they are, and willingly deny that things are already bad.

Immobilism/conservatism is a political opinion

Naturally, but they don't think so, they think status quo is not politics, it's just something that is, like air or gravity.
