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.

It gives the zionist libs plausible deniability, they get to pretend that this is a "humane" ethnic cleansing. It's to soothe their own supporters, not to convince people to their side.
If you meant Israeli libs, they're most likely in the same camp of seeing all Gazans as Hamas, if you meant nonIsraeli Zionist libs, yeah that would track. There were some leftist Israelis on one of Hasan's videos talking about Israeli libs turning bloodthirsty after October 7th. The line between conservatives and libs is a lot harder to find in Israel.
I was thinking more western or anglo zionist libs specifically. I do feel like the Israeli libs are just all in on this being an "us or them" genocide that this point.
The only difference between a conservative and a lib is just how much they personally feel they've been scratched at this point, so they're only a few minor inconveniences away from each other really.
