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.

Nooooooo I knew he’d gone silent on twitter but fuck it’s confirmed?
Yeah, confirmed by people close to him in Gaza.
Goddamn it man I know it’s kinda dumb /parasocial for this one death to hit so much harder than the other 15k+ but this one has had me sobbing.
Me too. I have just been in complete shock since I found out he was killed. His wry humor and sarcasm in the face of this madness really made an impression on me.
I checked up on him on twitter first thing everyday when I woke up. There were plenty anxious times when the internet was taken down and there was no news. I was always so relieved when he came back online.
I completely broke down on reading the news today. This madness needs to stop!
I will do what I can to keep his story alive.
