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.

I don't know Nasrallah personally but I'm willing to bet money he isn't just chilling within firing range after days of attacks

That's just an excuse for western audiences.

A thought I have had lately is: I don't think anyone believes in human shields and that Lebanese people have missiles in their Apts. They just need plausible deniability for their racism when they take joy in brown people being killed by the thousands. The contemporary racist is a coward that hides his true desires.

Well said, it's like that one quote

the process of Western propaganda is better understood in terms of “licensing”: the issuing of moral license for the bourgeois {Global North's labor aristocrat} proletariat to profitably go along with bourgeois designs without the feeling of shame overwhelming

Oh is this from Roderic Day's essay? I love that essay because it explains a lot of loose ends.

Unfortunately, it is likely they got him. Israel seems to have compromised hezbollah's communication channel, already managed to assassinate much of the 1st and 2nd command. They are infiltrated.

Hezbollah isn't even firing back anymore. This is like the 6 day war all over again. Israel has gone completely rogue
