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.

Damn that must be the only academic discipline as consistently depressing as climatology.
I've been reading from some sources (not sure how accurate they are) that every published Israeli loss has been an officer or NCO, which is really sus because there's no plausible way to lose a bunch of those ranks without also losing at least some rank and file troops too.
Can only imagine that Netanyahu is downplaying casualties because the Israeli public are ultra-sensitive to them.
Israel has rank inflation.
That's it. I don't care any more. Im going to kink shame the IDF.
It might be that when a private gets killed, they just promote postmortem. At the same time idk why they would do that, it's terrible for PR to see that many officers getting killed.
