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.

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

fascists of course aren’t people and cannot be treated like they’re people

This is a super dangeorus line of thinking, they ARE people, no diffrent than you and I, and they have chosen or been coerced to choose this, and honestly that is a scarier though. They are not dumber than us, they are not less capable of making rational decisions than us, because we are made of the same stuff, our thoughts are both just electircal impulses through the brain. Our choices are we can discard them as "not people" stop trying to understand what drove them to make the choices they made, and how to counter that naritive, how to teach and convence them to come over. OR we can understand they are people who made this choice for a reason, and vary rarely do they choose it because they woke up and decided to be cartoonishly evil, we need to understand what has caused this. Now will we be able to get them all, no the leadership are criminals and should be treated as such, but not every person is unreachable. We get no where when we start discounting people as not people.
