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.

so he admits that palestinians have a right to self determination, but not by hamas. didn't hamas win the 2006 election?

Of course they do! Palestinians have a right to self-determination*, just like Ukraine did in their elections!

*As determined and pre-approved by the United States, wrong choices are considered null and void and subject to immediate color revolution and/or genocide.

If that's the case, then doesn't that make collective punishment even more of a war crime?

I mean I am not addressing Biden, just whoever has a hand up his Weekend at Bernie ass.

Biden's always been super pro-Israel. When he was in the Senate he liked to repeat the talking point that "if Israel didn't exist, we'd have to invent it."

Oh for sure. That's not just Biden, the entire west has an imperialist instinct. Even when his brain is completely melted and he is a vegetable, his imperialist instincts would be as involuntary as shitting his pants.

So, Hamas knows where he will be and when?

Is there any precedent for an acting U$ president going into another country's warzone?

His people have to know this is dangerous right?

Are they trying to put him in danger so they can send in troops?

Is there any precedent for an acting U$ president going into another country’s warzone?

Biden went to Ukraine during the war. Though he asked Russia first.

It would be incredible if he got sniped by idf artillery

Yes but this post specifically says "I'll travel to Israel" "then I'll travel to Jordan"

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Israel is a state, the country he's travelling to is Palestine.

[–] simply_surprise@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 year ago

*srael is currently squatting on Palestine. It is a warzone.

Cornbread is delicious. Fight me.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is good. But it is a terrible thing for a human to be

[–] deathtoreddit@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Eh, we can at least eat him...

[–] ProbablyKaffe@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Cornbread is an indigenous food. For the crackers to be equated with cousin cornbread is blasphemy.

The truth is he just really wants to sniff Palestinians. All the crap in that tweet is just a cover.
