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.

"Will this strike, in childish yet violent revenge, be too much for the 'international' community?" I ask naively.

France has an incredible chance to do a thing...

I genuinely wish they would; they're a white, Western country and not Germany; if any country would be allowed to get away with it, France would be among them.

Israel has bombed American military vessels before. When it comes down to it, Israel is too useful to American interests to be allowed to ever suffer any concequences. Israel would probably have to start using nukes before the Americans start having second thoughts.

Redemption arc but i's unlikely

Considering how France's empire has been crumbling, if they don't do anything there is a high probability of Russia taking it's place there too and I think Russia would at least try to get paid for anything the colonists destroy, or even ask for more.

They've lost their minds long time ago. This is beyond insanity.

After Iranian warning fireworks, starting that very night, in less than *24 hours they killed 80 people of which, of course, a bunch of kids.

Then, they bombed an orphanage.

Then West Bank.

Just yesterday they've barraged whole fucking Gaza. I don't count the dead anymore.

It's been less than a week of IOF's bestial rampage slaughter of Gazans. Gazans refusing to leave their homes. It's a bloodshed there.

*Edited "two hours ". Lapsus.

They know the French won’t do anything about it, either.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

I admit I naively hope they will; I'm 90% sure they won't, but that 10% is some very plucky hope.

Just waiting and hoping to all that's possible that the resistance strikes back in full and equal form soon (if they deem it best). timmy-pray If the Arabs cannot have the fruits of their land (oil) and labor, then the settlers and the entire west should freeze...

I sincerely wish France would get involved too; I know they won't but I'm really hoping they do. The benefit here as well is that with those hypersonic missiles, Israel can't do a thing about stopping them from hitting anything Iran wants to hit.

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

If France got involved (more than they already are), we all know which side it would be on, though.

[–] Mzuark@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 1 month ago

I need to know what kind of blackmail makes it possible for a country to hit a white European nations property without anyone even considering retaliation

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

oh no global south had barely started recovering after the rate hikes now this

[–] bumpusoot@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

The most that the west will ever do about it is pressure Israel to change it's leadership to someone more pliable to pressure, yet equally genocidal.

This is fake as fuck
