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.

Definitely not defending Dems. I can't even read that in any way other than 'this political party committed a mountain of war crimes'.
I'm not assuming anything about their voting record other than that they claim to have voted for / supported that party in the past. Considering that all the Democratic party votes and cheerleading for endless war and atrocities is public record, I think it's fair to ask why earlier events in history weren't enough to come to the same conclusion.
Not speaking for supa specifically but it's not fair or reasonable to expect people to have perfect knowledge at all times.
No of course not, but its hard to imagine American voters forgot the US military killed millions of people in my country. It was a pretty big deal at the time and there sure are a whole lot of films celebrating it.
It really is an honest question, though. I think it's interesting where people draw lines and "I really didn't know about those other things" is also a totally reasonable answer, should it be offered.
I knew this as a child. When I got to voting age I thought maybe Obama would close Guantanamo, so I voted for him. That is the only time I ever voted for a president. People can be wrong for thinking harm reduction is a valid choice.
You just came in real hot with an account that has almost no history how is anyone supposed to know your intentions when you come in berating people for explaining how they learned they were wrong?
