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.

Dutch Media and politicians have you believing these were all honest family men enjoying a nice stroll through Amsterdam drinking coffee and eating cute little pastries when a violent mob attacked them out of nowhere just for being Jewish
Reality is that they attacked Palestinian supporters, burned Palestinian flags on the location of Amsterdam's near daily pro Palestine protests, sang songs about exterminating Arabs, mocked Gaza's school for being useless as there are no children left in Gaza. They chatted shit and got their asses handed to them by Amsterdam's antifascists and Arab population. Because as it turns out fighting actual grown ass men is harder for them than drone striking women and children from afar.
I hate how these people terrorize my city and yet everybody is on their side. My local newspaper called it a pogrom as well. In the revolution they will all be tried.
I could understand if they went with a position of 'both sides bad but violence wrong blah blah' but they are actively twisting the narrative in favor of Israel and I think that's a very dangerous step for our media. They have been doing this for a while now.
Not just Dutch media sadly, it's been on international outlets and TV, trying to draw parallels between this and 20th century pogroms
If you ever fight a zionist you'll realize how chuddy they are. They ALWAYS fall on their asses and then call for the police.
