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.

Who was the “Hamas terrorist” Israel justified this slaughter with?

Literally no justification. The airstrike was reportedly on his sisters house. They just wanted to silence him.

He was the target. Allegedly reported in Israeli media (I don't have a link), but the strike was a "surgical" (I hate the term) strike on the specific apartment he was in, not just the entire building like they so often do.

When pressed about it, Israeli propaganda will point to a joke he made on Twitter about the fake "baby in an oven" atrocity propaganda story, mark my words.
