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.

because people are seeing what they did and having an emotional reaction to it

Are they though? Are they really seeing what Hamas did or are they hearing Zionist propaganda and seeing manipulated and out of context images and videos about what supposedly happened? Are they in fact seeing what the IOF did to its own people in either a blind panic to stop a successful raid on predominantly military targets, or in a cynical and deliberate act of sacrificing civilians to create atrocity propaganda to justify the genocidal massacre they wished to inflict on Gaza? Do people really know what happened or do they just know what the media told them that Hamas did and does? And why is it that they have such an emotional response to the events of the one day on which Palestinian resistance actually hit back and not to the years and years of daily atrocities, humiliations, brutality, murders, apartheid and military occupation by the Israeli regime against the Palestinian people? Why is it so easy for them to see and hear that and be indifferent yet are so emotionally shook by when the victims of this crime against humanity retaliate?
