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.

No military support to Israel, says German “people”…

See how far apart the government and people stand in #Germany. (No singularity in this world btw)

Oh, you know. They're still proving they're people after the last time their state and a large number of their citizenry did that thing that disqualifies you from being considered a person.

Unless we are trying to meme, that feels performative.

Edit: but whatever, don't let me police your language

I'm only really half memeing, fascists of course aren't people and cannot be treated like they're people; but realistically most Germans don't support Israel and no longer support far right ideologies, so most of them are people.

In absolute honesty I'm shocked this is now the case especially as AfD continues to gain larger and larger support in government and the German government continues to trip over itself in defending Israel. I'm happy most Germans are decent.

Hard disagree. Fascist takes shouldn't be tolerated in an ideal government, but fascist supporters are people, even if they do monstrous things. It's important to remember that, at least for those of us in the international-community-1international-community-2, fascists are regular people you will meet in your regular life.
