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.

The western media that has been backing this genocide wants you to believe that this is somehow all on Bibi and not representative of the greater body politic and culture. In fact, Netanyahu is one of the more polite and coded public figures in Isn'treal. He's a western friendly mask over the most depraved rot of a violent ethnostate.
In Isn'treal, there have been protests because the extermination of Gaza is taking too long. Protests because the hostages are not being returned. Protests because Netanyahu is corrupt. Protests because privileged Haredi jews lost their exemption from military service. Protests to prevent the prosecution of Israeli prison guards who are using rape as torture on Palestinians. Protests that the IOF is not attacking Lebanon enough...
The entire zionist colonial project is founded on the deliberate erasure of Palestinian people, culture and history. Children of zionists are taught that arabs are subhuman from the earliest ages, and that god himself commands genocide. The book of Joshua is required reading for children in Isnt'real for that reason, and Amalek and the destruction of the Canaanites are constantly referenced in regard to Palestinians.
You need to look inside Isn'treali history, media, literature and internal politics because the US media distorts this reality to protect their "unsinkable aircraft carrier" in the region.
I'm very familiar. You're right that most Israelis back the genocide. You're wrong if you think all Israelis back the genocide.
Checkout B'Tselem and Breaking the Silence. Israel kicked out all the international human rights groups, but there's still a few Israeli NGOs doing good work in Israel.
I'm familiar those as well. In going through Breaking the Silence archives, I found very little in the way of anything really anti-Zionist. Mostly it's unprosecuted war criminals going "wow, that was fucked up". It's not at all enough to be anti-genocide, but support the Zionist foundation that continues to cause it. We both know the amount of anti-Zionist jews in Isn'treal is not culturally or politically significant, and will have no foreseeable role in whatever outcome awaits the Zionist entity. I invite any that exist there to leave or take up arms against the state.
