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.

The reason it caught my eye was because recently I had come across a passage in a reading comprehension quiz which tried to critique the usage of "women and children" counts in the reporting of Gazan casualties but either I failed the comprehension part or it was liberal nonsense. This article and the book it is about are closely related but in contrast the points made here are excellent. Israel had crossed the line of barbarity/inhumanity/whatever long before they murdered Hind Rajab. That pro-Palestine voices are squeamish about voicing unequivocal support for, say, a 30 year old Palestinian man who ended up joining armed resistance is an excellent observation that is worth grappling with.
