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.

Nah he's a 50/50... Like Al Jazeera

A rare W would be Michael Mcfail saying the same thing...

Al Jazeera is sus AF. The moderate amount of good reporting they do is just so no one notices that qatar is a comprador ass state that currently has f22s based out of it to deter Iranian response to isntrael. If they just came out for Zionism straight up, the con would be over

Their journalism is a byproduct of being forced into a corner for the better part of the past decade or so by Saudi Arabia and other gulf states hostility towards Qatar for pipeline related reasons. It became convenient for them to speak out against the west and the regimes they backed in the region. Saudi Arabia did eventually reproach with Qatar but Al-Jazeera has maintained their reporting stance despite this.

Jon Stewart is the one neoliberal that we consider sparing.

excluding Palestinian-American voices

Was it only Palestinian-Americans, or did the DNC block all Arab-American or Muslim speakers?

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm actually not sure myself either

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

I think the DNC did block all Arab-American or Muslim speakers. So even though Jon Stewart probably said Palestinian-Americans to make it more recognizable, the silenced democraphic is much larger.

Jon Stewart shows himself to have more backbone than all the other media personalities. Is it Bassem Youssef that had this influence on him?

[–] supersolid_snake@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago

Nah, that's just liberal Zionism talking. They just wish isntrael wasnt as Rhodesia as it is because it's bad optics. He is the bag of US Aid flour after the US air strikes.
