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.

Fr. Albanese’s answer to a question “Do you believe that Israel has a right to exist?”

🙏 I couldn’t but transcribe. Corrections welcome.

“Israel does exist. Israel is a recognised member of the United Nations. Beside this, there is not such a thing in International Law like a right of a state to exist. Does Italia have a right to exist? Italia exists! Now, if tomorrow Italia and France want to merge, and become “Itafrance”, fine! This is not up to us. What is enshrined in International Law is the right of a people to exist. So the state is there, the state of Israel is there, is protected as a member of the United Nations. Does this justify the erasure of another people? - a “No”. Not 75 years ago, not 57 years ago, surely not today. Where is the protection of the Palestinian people, from erasure, from annexation, from illegal occupation, and apartheid? This is what we need to discuss, hmm?”
