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.

First of all, what you are saying is that if you oppose genocide in earnest you will be forced out of the party and you are presenting this party, which has been genociding longer than your or my grandparents have lived, as conditionally acceptable, reformable and redeemable. To a normal person this sounds insane. What you want to say is that you don't care if people get genocided oceans away. You don't need to dress it up in west wing nonsense. That's just confusing for everyone.
Second, who is this politician you are talking about? It sounds you are talking about voting strategies but you say politician so you could be talking about Biden which is what I am gonna assume. Biden does not toe to the party line to the minimum extent possible. When you were a wee lad segregationist Uncle Joe was going on racist tirades in congress against bussing. He has supported every genocidal war that America has waged. He is also a hardcore Zionist. He wholeheartedly supports and enables the genocide of Palestinians.
Lolwut? No, I'm not talking about fucking Biden.
I was thinking about AOC, who I think is generally a principled person.
God, you are such a sucker... Every single time libs fall for this crying, weeping, bleeding-heart "oh, look at me, I'm a bartender, I'm a Latino, I care so much about immigrant cages! I'm not at all financed by two Zionist-connected companies". Hook, line, sinker - rinse, repeat.
It's funny how the "cage" situation got worse during the Biden admin.. And your precious AOC didn't spurt out a word. Or when she went "oh, we gotta protect the Naz... I mean, democracy in Ukraine!". Or when she went to support Palestinian Authority, the puppet entity that is currently supporting this genocide in Gaza.
You are an idiot
