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.

If anybody is still in denial about their Greater "Israel" policy being real.

The problem the US has is that it can't be everywhere at once. The US had to abandon Afghanistan because they wanted to have a proxy war in Ukraine. Now that it failed, they want to either take on Iran or start something with China. My point isn't that US is just going to stop, but that they continuously get weaker in every regard as they continue doing this. There is a real material cost to each of these adventures, and these costs continue to add up. My view is that the downfall will be economic as opposed to a military defeat. Trump will likely accelerate this process with his open trade war on the BRICS.

At the same time, the US military is simply not strong enough to take on its main adversaries like Russia and China. All they can do is to continue chaos around the world which ultimately pushes countries towards BRICS.
