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.

Anti-Zionist views are 'worthy of respect', UK judge says
(Middle East Eye, 2024-10-15)

[https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/anti-zionist-views-worthy-respect-uk-judge-finds]( ———

“An employment tribunal in the UK has concluded that holding the belief that Israel's actions against Palestinians amount to apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are ‘worthy of respect in a democratic society’.

“In February, a UK judge ruled in a landmark decision that David Miller, a professor of political sociology, who was fired from the University of Bristol in 2021 for anti-Zionist views, was unfairly dismissed and subjected to discrimination.

“This week, the tribunal published its 120-page judgement* which sets out why Miller's views were protected under anti-discrimination laws. “

The judgement was criticised in February by the Union of Jewish Students (UJS), a national body representing university Jewish societies and Jewish students.

Oh my fecking G‐d, I knew that this was coming. Somehow even a source that regularly does good reporting like Middle East Eye has to overlook what anticolonial Jews think. I just sent Middle East Eye an email about this but I’ll be unsurprised if nobody reads it.
