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.

Mondoweiss speaks about 82% of jewish israelis because there are ~20% of muslim-israelis who still have a heart, included in the 64% of the total israeli population :

More surveys here for those thinking that this one is an exception :

  • aChord Center(, hebrew university, 2024–2025) : 60% of jewish israelis support forced emigration or transfer of Gazans.
    26% selected a neutral option, which was not offered in the Sorek poll above, and explains the discrepancy with Sorek's 82% ;
  • Channel 13 News Poll(, Feb 2025) : 72% of israelis(, general population,) support the plan to exile Palestinians from Gaza. Again there's an opposition from muslim citizens so the percentage is way higher than 80% ;
  • Peace Index(, Tel Aviv university, March 2025) : 62% of jewish israelis support evacuating gazans by military force(, and 70% that they should not be allowed to return), only 9% answered “i don’t know” ;
  • Pew Research Center (2016) : 48% of jewish israelis think that arab israelis should be expelled or transferred from Israel(, p.153 here) ;
  • Joint Israeli-Palestinian Survey(, July 2024) : They keep telling us that those who refuse 'a two-states solution'/'coming back to the 1967 borders' want peace and are only defending themselves, it's unbelievable that there's not overwhelmingly more palestinians in favor of war given the situation where it's their only issue, since international institutions are useless compared to the u.s. power :

I'll always find difficult to understand that the same people claiming to be religious are also the less virtuous, seems like we haven't read the same book or interpreted it similarly. I still feel that they'd be easier to convince than the cold technocrats thinking amorally in terms of costs and benefits :

Lemmygrad users 'are already convinced of'/'already know' that. It's so unbelievable that the israelis can consider themselves the victims while colonizing Gaza and the West Bank 🙄

The BRICS recently released a statement that includes this excerpt, asking for a just return to the 1967 borders is certainly too extreme for the west :

We reaffirm our support for the State of Palestine’s full membership in the United Nations in the context of the unwavering commitment to the two-state solution, in accordance with international law, including relevant UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, and the Arab Peace Initiative, that includes the establishment of a sovereign, independent and viable State of Palestine within the internationally recognized 1967 borders, which includes the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in order to achieve the vision of two States living side by side, in peace and security.
We affirm the need for adequate representation of Palestine in all relevant international organizations, including multilateral financial institutions, and access to their resources.

Just one more useless post.

I hate the repulsive racist framing of “Arab Israelis” vs “Jewish Israelis” as though they’re equivalent mutually exclusive groups. There are indigenous Palestinians and there are settlers. Both are equally capable of choosing to practice Judaism or not, which does nothing to mystically alter their family history, place of birth, or national origin.
