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.

Meanwhile how israel actually feels about Lebanon: https://x.com/BTnewsroom/status/1839771677519163565 (tweets by BreakThrough News, using quotes from top israel figures)

Israeli officials have repeatedly threatened to destroy all of Lebanon since October.

Here are just a few examples:

"There is no difference between Hezbollah and Lebanon. Lebanon will be annihilated. It will cease to exist."

— Yoav Kisch, Israel's Minister of Education

"Beirut must burn. I'm not saying this because I am a war monger"

— Yoaz Hendel, Former minister, media person, Lt. Col. (Res.)

“For the deaths of little children, [Hezbollah chief Hassan] Nasrallah should pay with his head,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich tweeted,” asserting that it was “time for action” and that “Lebanon as a whole has to pay the price.”

"Every person in Lebanon can take the map, the aerial photograph of Gaza, place it on an aerial photograph of Beirut, and ask themselves if this is what they want to happen there.”

— Yoav Gallant, Israeli Defense Minister

"The time has come for the price to be paid in military targets and Lebanese infrastructure, of which Hezbollah is a part."

— Benny Gantz, Retired MK Lt. General & Minister without portfolio

“Lebanon is a dysfunctional state incapable of enforcing UN resolution 1701 which forbids presence of Hezbollah in South Lebanon… So Israel has no option but to evacuate villages in South Lebanon and establish a buffer zone there.”

—Amichai Chikli, Israel Minister of Diaspora
