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.

Is Hamas or anyone actually fighting back on a level of it being a threat? Don't get me wrong but all I see from Palestinian pages on Instagram is just slaughter of Palestinians. Maybe a few incidents in which some groups fought back for a while but nothing major it seems.
Israel is suffering a lot of losses, even they're starting to admit it now. They're stuck doing door to door combat in Gaza, and this negates a lot f their tech advantage. On telegram there have been lots of videos from Al Qassam brigades showing attacks on Israeli tanks as well as soldiers. I'm guessing this is the kind of stuff that never makes it to Instagram.
It's like everywhere else on western controlled social media. The videos can make it onto the platform but then they get taken down. The Electronic Intifada on YouTube has a few good videos where they talked about censorship of Palestinian voices (including the resistance) on social media.
On a side note, I highly recommend the Electronic Intifada, probably one of the best media outlets on coverage for this in my opinion.
Israel lost lots of tanks and armored vehicles, either completely or partially destroyed, more than they lost in prior wars except for 1973. A total of 825 up to 2 days ago according to Abu Obaida. An average of 10 armored vehicles daily. You can begin to imagine how many soldiers have been killed or severely wounded.
Lots of this have been happening https://youtu.be/hQrkspXDwdg the occupation's tanks are sitting ducks. Their army is only good at bombing civilians from a far. Their tactic so far was to kill as many civilians as possible and hope they turn against Hamas, not happening, instead Hamas's popularity grew stronger in Palestine and across the Arab World.
Pay attention to the tactics of the resistance. We may need to use them one day.
Absolutely they are, all of the Resistance Brigades from Hamas to PFLP have been defeating ground incursions by the IOF, like, badly. They are masters of guerilla warfare with their tandem RPG rounds, taking out dozens of IOF armor per campaign. The Resistance posts videos daily basically: Example
This one is wild
These videos are so popular that the IOF has been making their own copies where they are killing windows and chairs
This is like if the nazis had bombed Stalingrad and then insisted on driving their tanks in anyway,
They probably tried but their tanks weren't reliable enough to make it in
I mean, that's literally what happened. Didn't go well anyway.
reactionaries and swinging at chairs, name a more iconic duo
Lmao, I forgot about this.
Is that second one two people sandwiching a tank with RPG rounds from either side?
Not sure but it's possibly a tactic as many of the tanks have a trophy system that can shoot down one rocket. If the second reaches the plates it blows a hole into the cabin and we've seen some pics of the mess that gets made inside.
There's been a lot of coverups on the part of the zionists in terms of hiding deaths and injuries (various hospitals reporting thousands of injuries alone). There's a lot of arabic media youtube channels that show resistance fighting back and there's subreddits like Askmiddleeast which have plenty of resistance combat footage. The fact that the zionists are pulling back their ground forces should indicate where the current state of the siege on gaza is.
Paper tigers will never admit losses.
I like to imagine the paper starts to smoulder more and more while the tiger tries to hide it. We can only hope that those embers light into flames and poof goes the paper.
Any resistance video is taken down if it gets posted, mad narrative control is happening on social media.
I've been following the resistance telegram groups to get updates.
