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.

Legally it's very appreciative of it. Ukraine is probably the only ex-USSR state which hasn't just discarded anything Soviet as "legacy of occupation" or whatever else in legal domain, where it matters.
And, of course, the "recognized borders" and so on they just love.
How do I say that ... Some of the Ukrainian patriotic songs which you can find on YouTube or somewhere else, performed and recorded and popular and known in the USSR, had authors from those nationalist organizations.
USSR's policy on nationalism since after WWII in every republic was controlling and directing it. Plenty of historical revisionism of today in ex-USSR takes root in official historiography of Soviet republics.
Making OUN itself etc heroes was, yes, something out of mainstream in the USSR. But it doesn't make for a contrast.
In the context I started this comment with - it is.
It's not. It's about the same. In many cases worse.
That's history. If you can somehow assemble all the refugees and people who left the area since 2014 and have a vote, I'm pretty certain you won't get any signs preference for Russia.
Yeah, just employing neo-Nazi volunteer battalions like DShRG "Rusich".
