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.
The genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.
Please don't stop talking about Palestine.
Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.
Iran says time is up

IOF entered Shadia Abu Ghazala school, removed the men and shot the sheltering women and children execution-style.
Pray there is a hell so that colonizers have a place to go to meet their justice.
Does anyone here have the list of the death tolls that the Zionists released? The one that had 2/3 having names like "colonel" and "Sargent"? I need it for a propaganda speech 🤔
The tactics seen here should be useful to all people fighting to liberate themselves from oppressive regimes.
Apparently there is a tiktok trend vindicating Osama Bin Laden for his truth about Palestine.
Israeli ground raids
An Israeli military spokesman said Israeli soldiers and tanks on Friday conducted their first ground raids into Gaza since Hamas fighters carried out a devastating attack on southern Israel on Saturday, killing at least 1,300 people and injuring more than 3,000.
More than 100 people, including Israelis and foreigners, are also being held captive by Hamas.
Israeli authorities say the soldiers in the initial raids targeted Palestinian rocket crews and tried to gain information about the captives. The small-scale operations are a likely prelude to an anticipated ground invasion.
In an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Nir Barkat, Israel's Minister of Economy, warned that Iran's Ayatollahs will be 'wiped off the face of the earth' should Hezbollah, their proxy terror group in Lebanon, attack Israel.
Does anyone have sources on Israel shooting at their own citizens. I saw something about it on here somewhere but can't find it anymore
His voice broke when he remembered his partner, who was besieged in MMD at the time. According to him, only on Monday night and only after the commanders in the field made difficult decisions - including shelling houses on their occupants in order to eliminate the terrorists without knowing whether the Israelis in those buildings were alive or dead - the IDF L completed the takeover of the kibbutz.
The cost of the Hamas attack was terrible: at least 112 Bari residents were killed. Others were kidnapped. Yesterday, 11 days after the massacre, the bodies of a mother and her son were discovered in one of the destroyed houses. It is believed that more bodies are still lying in the rubble.

There are images of homes in Be'eri etc. in other articles, blown to rubble, razed, and with bullet holes in the walls. Articles published shortly after Oct 7 generally blamed Hamas directly for casualties and didn't talk about fatalities caused by largely indiscriminate attacks by the IDF. After looking at a photographer's Getty Images page (cited by ABC News) I will post links to some images. For some reason, I don't think that this was caused by Hamas.
Here is footage of the Israeli Air Force bombing and shooting at who is likely to be their own people.
Hamas has popped the IOF’s myth of being undefeated. Only tough bombing civilians.
“They were killed in a Qassam ambush. The Israeli army admits the killing of 8 soldiers, including a division commander in the Golani Brigade” https://youtu.be/fiH4Szp-Gyw
Belgian (Flemish) regional TV is grasping at straws to depict the time of the hostages as horrible, but all they can come up with is stuff like
They are framing this as if it's almost worse than the terror that Gaza has to endure for the past months and years. And then one throwaway line about how Israel has captured more people in West Bank than they released in Gaza. Because that doesn't matter. Never any mention about horrible atrocities IDF commits or how it treats those hostages (also framed as prisoners, which again so different)
I'm so tired of this bullshit.
The EU gave a speech saying that 'jews were killed just because they are jews, again' so that might be the new tactic. Antisemitism and not, you know, colonialism or something.
Zionists invoking the Holocaust when they get push back, only to then immediately publish blood libel and call for the extermination of the Palestinian people is my jokerification moment. We need a thousand GULAGs to re-educate Europeans and European Americans. Holy shit.
My city just refused a pro Palestina protest that was planned tomorrow. The same city of which the far right mayor today remembered Israeli victims and called Palestina's uprising terrorism. The same city of which the police force has recently been trained by the Israeli police force.
The protest is still happening, albeit at a different place. And I'll be going.
