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'm not the biggest fan of BE, i think his online persona can be grating at times, and his takes on China are very half-baked and borderline ignorant, but on this issue he is 100% right. Everyone needs to hear this. If you invite liberal Zionists and Zionist apologist socdem politicians on your stream and don't call them out as the supporters and enablers of genocide that they are, you don't get to call yourself "pro-Palestinian".

It’s a good thing that I’ve never watched ~~Hasan Piker~~ Ethan Klein, because that clip of him doing the mental gymnastics meme was so much worse than I imagined: The reason it's antisemitic to oppose Jews for holding [Zionist] opinions is because those opinions are […] inextricably linked to their Jewishness.

That wasn't Hasan in the clip. Idk who that was cause i don't follow any of this streamer shit. Hasan shills for AOC and Bernie though who are both in the "Israel has a right to defend itself from the barbaric Hamas terrorists" camp. He also did a podcast together with the now very vocally Zionist Ethan Klein who is married to an IDF war criminal.

Oh, you’re right, that was Ethan Klein in the clip. He has two passports. You’ll never guess which 😐 Supposedly he and his wife are sitting on USD ~20M.

I'd love to be able to scam Ethan Kkklein out of his and his zionist wife's money, and maybe then I could afford to retire early in China.
