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 genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.
Please don't stop talking about Palestine.
Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.
I think this is their main propaganda tactic. In order to justify their ongoing genocide of Gaza they need to reframe the situation so that "their side" is the victim. The more barbaric the atrocity they fabricate, the more uncomfortable it is to question the veracity of.
I saw a Zionist the other day on Twitter talking about how a Hamas fighter filmed themselves raping and torturing Shani Louk, then circulated the footage of themselves committing the rape on the internet. She claimed to someone else that she personally saw the video, that Shani Louk's mom also had to see the footage of her daughter being raped, and then offered to send the video if they doubted that Hamas commit rape so much.
I did a Google search to see if I could find any reports talking about this but I couldn't find anything. However, there was an article saying that she's now believed to have died on Oct 7 due to a fragment of her skull being identified. Supposedly the injury was severe enough meaning that her death was almost certain, and that Hamas lied about her being taken to a hospital. The mom was quoted as saying "At least she didn't suffer" in this article.
I asked this random Zionist person if they could provide a link to a reliable source confirming this footage exists because obviously, I don't want to watch footage of a rape. They didn't respond.
The hostages are also being politicised in a similar way. I think it's clear by now that the Israeli government doesn't care about the hostages, and that it isn't what this bombing campaign is about. The Zionists are propagandizing by flyposting "KIDNAPPED" posters with the hostage's photos on them in North American and European countries. The posters obviously won't do anything to secure the release of the hostages, it is only about manufacturing consent for the bombing. Yet if you remove these posters you will get attacked.
Zionists casually admitting to having rape films on their phones to use as propaganda. What a lovely day to be alive.
