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.

Why?
‘The Zionist movement was an effort to overturn European stereotypes about Jews and reassert a Jewish masculinity (evident in the Old Testament), which perhaps helps explain the militarism of Israeli society. Colonization and agricultural settlements would reshape the Jewish man and foment Jewish nationalism.’
I'm confused by how this is a masculinity thing. Men inspecting and showing off women's clothing seems like something a trans fem person would do.
Perhaps this is a grotesque Victoria's secret commercial.
As someone who has worked with sex offenders I can assure you that a trans person looking at underwear for their gender is very much different than sickos posing with the underwear of people they just murdered. But you probably don't have to work with sex offenders for that.
Sorry for the transphobic trope. That wasn't my intention.
It just makes me think they are piece of shit human being before considering gender. Do these people care more about their gender more than their morality? They are parading stolen goods from a possibly dead person. I can understand if someone was deprived of wealth by severe income inequality and wanting to show what they fought for, however these are just lingerie, not particularly difficult goods for soldiers to obtain. I was just confused as to why they would be proud to share this with the world. I haven't interacted with many sex offenders before. Do they get a sick high transgressing against innocent people? It makes it even worse if its people they just murdered. It wasn't enough to kill them? Is it the twisted fascist politics that permits them to get rewarded for their twisted ways?
History indicates we don't live in a just world and for justice to exist, it requires people to fight for it. I'm distant from all of this, but i hope they are killed by insurgents and if Israel falls, they might luck into serving time in some prison. I hope the US doesn't protect these homicidal delinquents again like they did with the Nazis.

I guess I've never wanted to rob a woman's clothes nor seen anyone brag about this kind of thing in person. Its one of the most childish pranks to upset women. Those involved in these acts seem to have an air of desperation about them. Almost as if the closest they they can ever get to a woman is by violating them. I guess my conception of masculinity is using ones strength to promote righteousness, which completely contrasts a bunch of heavily armed thugs in armor stealing some poor woman's underwear.
