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.

or I must withdraw my recommendation to follow your account

Yesterday he went to Israel and they made a deal regarding Starlink and cpntrol of social media. Get ready for massive removals of pro-Palestinian content.

Strange how this guy keeps showing up in war zones to help facilitate imperial communications. At this point it's really hard to believe that he doesn't have CIA handlers, and he's probably had them for twenty years or more.

[–] Mzuark@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yet he portrays himself as the sane neutral party. He's absolutely controlled.

[–] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Between the CIA and DoD I'm sure he's quite neutral.

[–] AlbigensianGhoul@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Shouldn't it be the other way around? The US state serves as the legal and armed branch of their bourgeoisie, and Musk is as bourgeois as they come.

Isn't it more likely he'd be helping imperial communications because he, his rich friends and his whole class benefit from it, with voluntary cooperation from those agencies?

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 11 months ago

Probably a bit of both, mutually beneficial ghoulishness.

[–] MatBC@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 11 months ago

So much for the free speech banner of his. Plus murder is more broad than what he says and its quite specific if you did something with the predictable outcome that somebody will die, like shooting an explosive in a residential area, and somebody dies it is murder, just imagine and guy throws a grenade through his bedroom window without looking, and somebody dies, this is murder in the second(I believe) degree, so if someone is shooting at residential areas and kills people it is murder indeed

So they don't have a cause, huh? Is he trying to be the dumbest fucker on Earth?

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Nah, there's probs just a Mossad agent camped a building or three away from Musk's office with a clear sightline on the windows. Otherwise he'd be using this opportunity to be as virulently anti-semitic as possible.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 11 months ago

Zionism and anti-semitism are very strange bedfellows. They both compliment each other and actively further each other's goals. As a result, anti-semites slip a lot into Zionist rhetoric and vice-versa.

That or American intelligence has tapes of him doing Epstein stuff

[–] Mzuark@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 11 months ago

You know, the revelation that Epstein was a Mossad asset suddenly makes all the holes in that story fill right up. No one's going to come forward because they will be violently disappeared the next day.

[–] Rasm635u@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I personally suspect that Musk might be a Mossad/CIA agent himself

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 11 months ago

You give him too much credit. Asset? Maybe. Agent? Too dumb for that.

[–] taiphlosion@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Elon "we'll coup who we want" Musk siding with the imperialists? Shocking

[–] TheUltimateCommunist@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Did he actually say “we’ll coup who we want”?

[–] Florn@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, about Bolivia in particular

Here's the archived tweet, he deleted it right away.

After buying twitter he doesn't need to worry about people archiving his dumb shit or getting his account suspended.

Free speech absolutist

[–] supersolid_snake@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 11 months ago

Capitalists protecting capitalists/ colonizers. There are no intelligence conspiracies, Musk is just a opportunistic racist freak, it's what the system allows to get to the top. If it wasn't him in particular, it would just be another "make a racist video game character" cut out.

Pretty sure martyrdom doesn't require death in battle, X-boy.

I guess the Israelis are officially regaining control of the narrative. We had a good run, a full month and a half of being able to tell the truth about what's happening over there.

[–] supersolid_snake@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

They still lost the narrative for this generation. Their pants fell off and we all saw them naked and saw how disgusting they were. I don't think narratives can counter the images we saw.

Perhaps I am being too optimistic.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 11 months ago

I hope you're right, but they'll do what every abuser does. Lay low for a bit, then insist they have "changed." and I worry that the western public who were shocked will immediately fall for it.

[–] Mzuark@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Oh no I agree. 12,000 people are dead over a terrorist attack that's looking more and more like a false flag and we have fucking high def photos and videos of it. There's no way things are going back to business as usual.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

Censoring people on twitter? ridiculous notion. This isn't 1984
