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.

Washington is working to recruit UAE-backed mercenary groups in Yemen to “distract Sanaa” from its military operations against Israel, Al-Akhbar revealed on 8 December.

“The United States is moving to activate factions loyal to the UAE in Yemen to distract Sanaa from continuing to carry out more air and sea attacks against the Israeli entity,” the Lebanese daily reports.

According to the report, US special envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking met with the head of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), Aidarous al-Zubaidi. The meeting took place in the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi.

The STC is one of three parallel governments in Yemen. The UAE backs it in support of an independent secessionist state in south Yemen.

I don’t see this working out well for anyone, least of all the UAE
