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.

There is no Israel going to war with Iran. There is no such thing as Israel. It's the US/ UK going to war with Iran just like they did Iraq, Libya, etc. we give Israel too much respect by granting it agency. It's not real.

I think it’ll be the “shooting of Franz Ferdinand” moment for the end of Israel and possibly the end of the US’s empire. Even on Twitter you have Israelis fretting over what happens if the US gets involved and needs a draft and then it’ll radicalize the youth against Israel in a revolutionary way.

My question, however, is if Iran and the resistance will be able to survive fighting against Israel, the US, and possibly NATO at the same time, especially without risking nuclear war.

[–] RedColossus@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think it’ll be easy to mobilize the US and especially European population to fight in that war, especially to help Israel.

[–] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 7 months ago

They'll try by ramping up fascist rhetoric

My silly hope is that enough chuds will still refuse to fight for Isn'treal for the wrong reasons

I highly doubt it. How is either side going to invade or directly attack the other? They’ll fire missiles at each other (that the US will gladly sell Israel) and they’ll call it a day.

The US will make its profit. Isreal and Iran will posture. Western hegemony will be weakened, and the world will go on churning as the US continues its slow decline.

that the US will gladly sell Israel

The US won't sell shit to Isn'treal. They will GIVE them more missiles. lol

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Maybe not as the situation gets more desperate. The US is giving all these weapons to Israel for lucrative contracts and resource rights. If they can’t make good on their promises or it looks like they might be in a bit of a rough spot, then the US might try to make a quick buck on its investment.

And then Russia and China will attack back in middle east.

Would this go to Europe?

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

How will Russia and China attack back in the Middle East?

This would absolutely not go into Europe.

[–] caveman@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Russia and China maybe would attack not directly, but thru theyr proxy Iran, as USA has their proxy Israel.

But because there's already the Ukraine conflict (USA proxy vs non-proxy Russia), maybe Rússia óbvio and China can say that Europe is the sponsor behind and attack Europe?

I'm not a specialist, those are just my worries

Little did they know, that the same day this video was uploaded, the world would begin to get an answer...

[–] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Iran's hypersonic missiles will sink every US carrier in the region, and zionism will be canned to the dustbin of history.

[–] caveman@lemmy.ml 16 points 7 months ago

Could be, but then what happens in the next timelapse?

[–] vaguevoid@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 7 months ago

sounds like the US wants to attack iran so badly

[–] Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 7 months ago

Simple, it finally ceases to exist

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That could easily be the start of WW3 since Israel is ultimately represents western interests in the region, and Iran is backed by China and Russia.

[–] SovietReporter@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wait, I thought that Russia and China backing Iran was just American conspiracy theories.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 7 months ago

They are all in BRICS and all of them have common interests. While US likes to play this up, I do think there is a real serious working relationship there.
