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.

They also got lucky that sectarian violence amongst groups (incited by the US) took a lot of the heat off them. If they had united, it may have very well been different. You need a national liberation struggle to unite people for this reason.
Kind of reminds me of how the Nazis rolled over a France riven with sectarian fighting so they concluded that kicking in the door with a tank spearhead would always make the whole house fall down. That, and a deep-rooted racism, made the Germans utterly unprepared for the USSR fighting tooth and nail the whole way.
TBH, the main reason for France's defeat wasn't sectarian fighting, it was that Allied command literally sent better half of their army straight into the trap, expecting Germans to repeat 1914. And then they were encircled and crushed.
it's a very nazi type of idiocy to loudly shout for 10-20 years that you'll murder every slav from poland to the pacific, and then get caught with your pants down when they really really dont want that to happen.
meanwhile, most of the french could expect life to more or less go on under nazi rule. they could afford to surrender.
