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.

It's not just the US. Seeing the people around me either not give a flying fuck about a literal unfolding genocide – or cheering it on… how am I supposed to look these people in the eye again? Help them? Why? I'm sickened by them. Never stop explaining, sure; but how does anyone need this explaining?
If we end up seeing a huge massacre of Palestinians, I will never let these people forget. To not be involved in politics or the news is one thing, but to be and to still support Israel is something deeply troubling and I don't need to be your friend or family after that.
This is definitely a make or break litmus test for who I want in my personal circle. I still have some friendships with ignorant conservatives. I will even tolerate anticommunist shit-takes from some friends.
I can and will strike from my life any and everyone who "stands" with this fascist project as it genocides an entire nation on live television.
