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.

Hi everyone, I want to make a video about the Israel-Palestine war because recently I found out that a lot of people in my University actively support Israel or don't know nearly enough about the conflict to come to any conclusions.

I want to include as many strong points as possible to really make it clear that Israel are not "the good guys", show how fucked up the thriving Zionism is in Israel and how it destructive nature led to recent events.

If you have any information that would create a strong narrative to (hopefully) change their minds, that would be wonderful. Of course I will do my own research, but I want to make sure that I don't miss anything important.

Thank you!

I was also always reading both sides and couldn't decide, until I read Al Jazeera and some documentaries.

Here is what changed my mind:

  1. Talking to nice people from Palestine. They have incredibly sweet people. After this I was open to stop seeing them as terrorists.

Travel blog of a guy with a nice Palestinan family: https://youtube.com/watch?v=UG_7sHN2e00

Ask project, interviewing people in Palestine and Israel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc4iogeOUXNw1RZSNTOlMeg

  1. Facts:

For those who believe in private ownership, Jews had bought 7% of palestinian land until 1947. How did they than got 60% more of the land without paying? That's stealing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_land_purchase_in_Palestine

Israeli terrorist's show how they killed and kicked out 800 000 Palestinians in 1948, stealing private property as I said above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwy-Rf15UIs

Search for Israeli terrorists groups Haganah and Irgun and you see see they dis terrorism against UK also to get their country. Read about King David Hotel bombing and other bombings around 1910-1949

Conflict made simple: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/9/whats-the-israel-palestine-conflict-about-a-simple-guide

  1. Reminder: As you seem until 1948 Jews legally owned 7% of the land. So they have the right of 7% I'd the land, not less.

Many Jewish were kicked out by threat to death from Arabic countries (not Palestine), so I thinks it's fair to say they also should have their property back.
