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.
Some people are calling trump the real harm reduction candidate 
That's assuming this deal goes through and the ceasefire isn't violated by the entity.
Forgive me for being pessimistic, but I highly doubt that the entity will follow through with this ceasefire. That's also assuming the ceasefire is permanent, which I also doubt.
Basically I wouldn't be celebrating this now. It's best to wait and see where this actually goes.
Hope for the best, plan for the worst. We can be hopeful that this is a good deal that won't immediately be violated but we definitely need to be ready for this to go south immediately and be violated by Isntreal.
My personal theories are
This is a show to be played to make Trump look good. At the very least he will take credit. Hiss brainless supporters will lose attention pretty quick then the genocide starts back up and they are too angry about gay, black, Chinese, etc. people existing to care about it.
The US is overtaxed and need to pull back so it can focus on South America with the recent stuff about Venezuela and Nicaragua. They don't have the ability to do both that and Israel. Ukraine is already yesterday's news to them at this point so something else has to go.
I feel like it's the latter and Trump may want to either focus on Latin America or Asia to get to China.
Trump obviously doesn't give a shit about Palestinians but the arms/cash flow towards the Zionists is probably hampering other plans.
i feel like you nailed it, its all just a performance to make trump look good. The zionists will keep bombing and shooting Palestinians indiscriminately but media won't be reporting anything.
It'll definitely at some point, sooner or later, be violated by the Zionist entity.
But this is still far more than what Biden was able or cared to do.
While I have absolutely no trust that Israel will stop killing civilians in the long run, I think this should still be taken as good news. From the point of view of palestinians in Gaza, the mass killings will stop (at least for a while), which is an excellent start and must happen at some point if they are to survive. Furthermore, I think it's possible that more and more news will come out of Gaza and it will be publicly known how many people Israel has killed (probably several hundred thousands), which will even further destroy Israel's reputation among the general public in the west.

Lets hope some good comes of this but I am 99% sure isisrael will break it in the first days.
My gut says something’s off. There had to be a back room deal.
Of course, Israel is just taking a break to please Trump. After recovering the hostages the USA will send more weapons to resume the genocide.
Shitinayu just delayed the ceasefire vote and said he wont be withdrawing troops from the egypt border.
I think Trump pushed for this to prove to dem voters that the dems were lying when they said they were "working tirelessly for a ceasefire." This makes all the "Vote for genocide or trump will genocide harder" people look like idiots. He isn't even in office and he is doing without barely trying what the dems were "unable" to do.
I dont think Trump and his team will even say all this in as many words. They'll just let these thoughts simmer in the back of peoples minds inception style.
Who ever is the architect of this plan is a shrewd operator and I'm bit scared because they are not on our side.
some kind of pause of being slaughtered is good for palestinians...but i shouldn't advice having high hopes. zionists stil have an unquenchable bloodthirst
