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.

big Israel

It's called the United States of America

[–] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 32 points 10 months ago (1 children)

an apartheid state who has terrible relations with all neighbors and is inexorably tied to a declining empire who sees you as a goon squad to deal with their geopolitical enemies, all for a few billion dollars a year in military equipment? It's a bold move, cotton, let's see how this plays out

I mean Ukraine is basically all that already not counting Poland as neighbour but Poles hate Ukraine, they just hate Russia, bootlick USA and depend on Germany way more.

i'm p sure the country that liked ukraine the most was russia... but that's gone now

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 10 months ago

That's right, even after 1991, thing started to really change from what i seen after 2004 when Yushchenko kleptogovernment started openly provoke Russia.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 31 points 10 months ago

Ukraine can't lose fast enough or hard enough. Any remnant of this government or army will be an existential threat to peace around the globe.

They tried being a big Israel for 8 years. The difference is Russia put a stop to their bullshit.

I wonder if the close association between aid and support for Israel and Ukraine coming from the US has made any radlibs reconsider supporting Ukraine. They're very clearly tied together, along with Taiwan, and you'd think that would get some neurons firing.

[–] LarkinDePark@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The firing neurons have just told them to go silent on both issues. I know many in real life aswell as online and they've just shut up shop. You can't get a word out of them on either anymore.

Liberalism: terminal

[–] Mzuark@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think the endstage of liberalism is an outright rejection of reality and refusal to engage with what's really going on.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 10 months ago

Ironically enough, the highest stage of idealism: solipsism

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

Well, as they said before (these westerners), "it's an investment in democracy" maybe-later-honey maybe-later-kiddo

[–] Mzuark@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 10 months ago

Lucky for us, that's impossible.

[–] NikkiB@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Didn't he already say this a few months ago? Why is he saying this again? It doesn't sound good.

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

the article is from almost exactly two years ago

[–] NikkiB@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

That makes more sense,

[–] PunsNRoses@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

He means he wishes he had America's "aid to Israel" budget, but bigger.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

"Ukrainian antisemites in shambles!"

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

Death to Amerikkka, death to the zionist entity, death to all imperialists the world over.
