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.
I'm sure there were Palestinian civilians that participated in "horrific events" on October 7 like breaking their illegal containment and taking valid prisoners of war from the illegally occupying military and settler militia, and those civilians are heroes who should be internationally celebrated for their restraint.
UNHRC for real didn't stop to proofread that maybe, just maybe, not to do a "both-sides" during a genocide
“all gazans are hamas”
Even if every single adult and child in Palestine was an armed member of hamas, they would still be innocent victims with a UN mandate to resist and fight against the occupation
This is what settlers actually believe.
They can't even come up with their own shit anymore. All they did was steal the stuff we say about them. It's all they can do. There's not an original thought I that entire fake ass country.
an account of a genocidal racist regime in the social media property of a heir of a genocidal racist regime says something racist and genocidal
well...who would have thought?
Huh, and at the beginning libs were saying that Gazan civilians were against Hamas and not Israel. How interesting.
Germany’s war experiences had led, among other things, to a military culture in which the border between civilians and combatants had diminished to a gruesome extent. The fact that during the Franco‐German War German troops had to occupy a large swathe of France, and that the civilians did not behave as foreseen and began resisting the military occupation, was an especially irksome experience.
The myth of ubiquitous francs‐tireurs (free shooters) was born: civilian enemy populations who would shoot at German soldiers, from behind the lines, thereby “stabbing” them in the back. The army decided that, as these people were not enemy soldiers, they could accordingly be treated even more harshly, including by “collective punishment.”⁷
Another worrisome experience in modern Germany’s foundational war was the fact that the Polish population of Prussia—in other words, not civilians of an enemy state but “enemy civilians” within—had behaved in an openly pro‐French manner during the war and that the military command even thought it necessary to keep troops in the Polish regions in case unrest broke out.⁸
The franc‐tireur myth came back with full force in 1914 when Belgium was invaded and occupied; it became the iconic term for enemy civilian populations in war time Germany.⁹ From the beginning of the war, the German military and government were “obsessed” with “the notion of mass civilian resistance.”¹⁰
This spiraled into paranoia and then into violence toward the civilian population of Belgium, which was, for the German army, “a reservoir of potential guerrilla fighters.”¹¹ German papers peddled stories of “Belgian atrocities” committed by civilians against German troops.¹²
