AltMedia
This community is a mirror of the AltMedia subreddit at https://old.reddit.com/r/AltMedia.
Until January 2nd, 2025 the 'WorldNews` subreddit, with 40 million users automatically subscribed, had an 'Israel at War' livethread constantly at the top.
This community was founded to dissent from this forced perspective, and present the Palestinian and anti-establishment position in general.
This community is 'AltMedia' in the Mearsheimer and Walt sense. Not the Richard Spencer sense.

The Zionist movement started as a secular one, and a plurality in Israel are still secular. The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) started as a secular Marxist organization. Religion has only entered the conflict after the collapse of the Soviet Union, with the support of the Netanyahu wing of Likud for both Hamas and Jewish extremists. Many atrocities, including the Nakba and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, happened under completely secular rule. Religion is not central or essential to the conflict, history is, identity is, and secular Jewish ethnic supremacism is. Stop projecting your militant atheist wishful thinking onto this conflict.
