Palestine

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.

If someone wants to break some redditors brains today, post this exact quote, but attribute it to trump, and post it to reddit and and the reddit lemmy instance. Watch them go from mild zionist dislike to full-zionism in the span of a few minutes.

It's like when they attribute Stalin or Lenin quotes to Reagan and the CHUDs go nuts for it.

Imagine how you can be born and instead of becoming a compassionate human being you turn into a ghoul that serves a line on a graph going up, and only that

Sounds like that other great investment that was made in Eastern Europe.

With Trump picture: 'TRUMP FASCIST FUCK HE MUST BE STOPPED PLS VOOOOOOTE!!!'

With Biden picture: 'You know what, he's right. We Westerners, as a beacon of freedom and democracy, need to defend the Arab world against those pesky brown people and their backwards ideas. Biden 2024!'

He sounds like a deranged right-winger in that clip but liberals will still claim he's the most "left" president since FDR, who wasn't all that radical himself during that time.

I don't know if he can even be placed anywhere in the scope of US left-right politics, because all of his attention and concerns are completely outside of anything regarding US internal affairs.

He’s probably still touting his “bipartisan infrastructure bill”

He actually said this in 1986. Most people with dementia only live 5 to 10 years. So while the statement is absolutely demented in nature, he probably suffers from some other degenerative disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, such as being a capitalist.
