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.

Something in the video I think is important for people to hear:

The IDF special forces were banned from simply executing people as they wished at some point, so instead the found another technique; they'd sneak into the home of someone they were planning on murdering and pointing a gun at his head and then waking him up. The troops would be ordered to open fire if the man screamed, pulled back his blanket, or moved any limbs, with the justification being that the person would assumed to be going for a weapon. Everyone in the special forces knew what this was, that this was an execution.

He also mentions how many Arabian Jews, upon meeting delegations from the occupation, refused to leave their home countries because they didn't know whether or not the occupation would even succeed, and their lives were fine where they were. The occupation would then send a group of people dressed up as Arabs to attack Arab Jews and to victimize them, and would then send a second delegation to tell them "look, you're not safe in these countries, come to Israel". And the occupation didn't do this because they wanted Arab Jews in occupied Palestine (the white colonists despised Arab Jews), they did this because they needed numbers to defend the occupation from Palestinians and other Arabs, and were placed in areas bordering multiple Arab countries. Arab Jews were treated horrendously, to the extent that they became among the most zealous so as to prove they were loyal occupying citizens, and even despise being called Arabs.
