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.

Sorry, the full context is actually even worse:

The former soldier has spoken publicly about the psychological trauma endured by Israeli troops in Gaza. In a testimony to the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in June, Zaken said that on many occasions, soldiers had to “run over terrorists, dead and alive, in the hundreds.”

“Everything squirts out,” he added.

Zaken says he can no longer eat meat, as it reminds him of the gruesome scenes he witnessed from his bulldozer in Gaza, and struggles to sleep at night, the sound of explosions ringing in his head.

“When you see a lot of meat outside, and blood… both ours and theirs (Hamas), then it really affects you when you eat,” he told CNN, referring to bodies as “meat.”

Oh, really? All the people you ran over were (hamas) and "terrorists"? You're running over hundreds of bodies, some dead, some alive, watching "everything squirt out" and at no point, did you think to yourself "Maybe I should abandon my post."?

Like, (hamas) was added BY CNN! They added that bit of context to this fucker's account.

So, the soldier decided he can't eat meat due to PTSD that he got from being a genocidal maniac, but at no point did he stop and think "are we the baddies?"

It disgusts me that the very same people who should know best the malevolence of genocide, having it inflicted on them as a whole people in the past, are the ones carrying it out today.

Of course just a refresher (though i doubt most have forgotten), but zionists have repeatedly said there are no civilians in Gaza and if there are, they're not innocent. What accounts for a terrorist in Israel is wildly different than for the non-Israeli readers of these articles.

Every day i discover the capacity for a new form of hate
