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.

I agree with that. Iran needs to get off the back foot. The blinding speed of military fascism cannot be underestimated. The "moderate" politics in Iran will blink and it will be too late, just as with Syria.
That said, I don't blame Iran at all. I do understand why Iran did not want to militarily intervene without Assad requesting help. Even if Assad did formally ask for intervention, look what happened with the Soviets in Afghanistan in 1979. This shit reeks of Op Cyclone. Even 40+ years later there are only about 20 people in Amerikkka who understand that particular piece of history.
Yeah, Iran not getting pulled into Syria is good, especially without permission. What they need to do is make sure israel gets caught in a quagmire in Syria. Israel definitely can't sustain 20 years taking hits in Syria like the US or the Soviets did. They just don't have the wherewithal for a ground war where they take mass cals each day.
